John gave Sherry yet another pill. Just like the previous pill, she swallowed this one without any resistance and proceeded to finish the entire glass of water before beginning to nibble at the edge of the glass again. It took some considerable effort for John to pull the glass away. There was nothing but a peaceful silence within the room. It was so silent that John could faintly hear Sherry’s stomach as it growled and demanded for food. John frowned. After a while, he gently tucked her back into the bed. Then, he went to the entrance and looked for Marlow who was nearby and ready to provide assistance at any given notice, “Go get some food.” Marlow nodded agreeably and quickly went away. Shortly after, he returned with a variety of food, even including some sweet cakes for dessert. John took the tray and thanked him, “Thank you, go get some rest.” Marlow did not smile but answered in an amiable voice, “Alright, Master.” With that, he turned and walked a

After a few seconds, a loud burst of laughter ripped through the silence. Sherry was the one who was roaring with laughter. John seemed to take a second to process what had just happened to him, before he winced ominously and stared at her. Sherry quickly restrained her laughter and continued to nibble on the drumstick as if nothing had happened. One could tell by her expression that she was very amused by what had just happened. John took a clean white handkerchief out of his pocket and wiped his face with it. Then, he simply tossed it into a trashcan next to the bed. He looked at Sherry who was still eating and pretending as if nothing had happened and smirked, “Eat slowly, don’t choke.” Sherry flashed a smile, "Don't worry, you’re more likely to choke to death before I do.” John did not respond to this and only continued to stare at her gloomily. Sherry gobbled up the drumstick very quickly until it was nothing but bones. Then she tossed it into the air. Th

Bang! Sherry was shoved onto the bed once more. John stared into her eyes coldly. “Sherry, must you make me mad every single day?” Sherry was taken aback. It had been a long time since she saw him like this. A quick pause later, she curled her lips. “Yeah, I like to make you mad. I hate you. I hope you’ll die from this!” His gaze turned colder as he tightened his grip on her. Sherry almost lost her breath. She gasped and said in a small voice, “As long as you are keeping me here, I’ll keep making you mad. I'll keep making you crazy. Whenever I see you, I’ll do it. You can either stay away from me forever or kill me, or I can do this all day!” She got even more arrogant as she provoked him. John looked grim. “Sherry, my patience for you is limited. Stop trying to challenge my bottom line.” “I’m challenging it! What are you going to do about it?!” Sherry raised a brow. “Kill me if you can!” His expression turned frosty. “Do you really think I won’t kill you?” Sherry

Janine’s brows were tightly furrowed on the other end of the phone. Worry and anger were written all over her face. She was worried about Shannon, and at the same time, angry at Sherry, and frustrated about the eight hundred million that she owed. Some careful consideration later, she said, “Shannon, don’t worry. You keep an eye on that girl and don’t let her near John. I’ll talk to your dad and come up with a solution. I’ll let you know once we have something.” “Okay. I got it, Mom. Don’t put yourself or Dad in a difficult situation because of me. I’ll also think of a way.” “You just relax and be Mrs. Stockton. Listen to me, keep an eye on that girl, and don’t overthink things. Your father and I will think of something.” Shannon obediently said, “Thank you, Mom.” “You don’t need to thank me. It’s okay, dear. Go to bed.” “You too. Good night.” The call ended and Shannon sighed a breath of relief. As she lay down on the bed, she started to ponder. She knew that her mot

Janine trembled as her face turned pale, but she regained her composure and balance shortly after that. “I don’t believe it. Even if he’s still thinking about that wretched girl, he must have some feelings for Shannon, or he wouldn’t have married her.” “You keep telling yourself that.” Matthew got fed up with arguing, so he got up and left. Janine cried, “Where are you going? What about Shannon? Are you going to sit back and do nothing while that horrible girl ruins Shannon and John’s marriage?” Matthew left without providing an answer, leaving Janine stomping her feet furiously. …A night passed at the Stocktons' residence. Hailey woke Sherry up and went to the canteen for breakfast together. Emerence did not stop Sherry this time, but she brought over two stacks of files after Sherry filled her stomach. One of the two stacks contained all the rules and employee guidelines. The seemingly endless rules and condensed paragraphs gave Sherry a headache. She only curious

Sherry nodded helplessly and returned to her room. She lay in bed for the whole day. The next morning, Emerence knocked on her door at six in the morning sharp. “Sherry! Wake up now! If you’re late, don’t even think about eating breakfast! Did you hear me!? Get up now!” she shouted. Despite covering her ears, Sherry could still hear Emerence’s piercing shout. She muttered, “Yeah, got it.” She got up and went to the bathroom to clean up. Half an hour later, Emerence’s shout and knocks came from the door again. Sherry opened the door and saw Emerence glaring at her. “Hurry up!” She then strode out of the dorm, and Sherry followed her away. There was a cart waiting for her outside the dorm. Sherry got in and the cart drove along the pathway to John’s place which was next to the building where she was previously kept for more than a year. The gate was opened with a bodyguard next to it. Sherry got out and went inside. There was another maid, apparently to serve

Punishment? No meal for the day again? Sherry suddenly remembered she had not eaten breakfast. The hunger calmed her annoyance and steered her to go in. Inside the spacious and luxurious living room, both John and Shannon were done with breakfast and were sitting on the couch. John was comfortably sitting on the single couch with his usual golden-framed glasses, his white shirt, and his long pants. His clean and handsome features complemented his elegant sitting posture, making him look like a prince. Shannon, in her slim-fit dress, perched beside him. They turned to the entrance when Sherry came in. John remained nonchalant, but there was a hint of mischievous delight in his eyes when he saw Sherry reluctantly walk in in the maid uniform. Shannon smiled although her expression was void of true delight or happiness. “Good morning, Sherry. Have you eaten?” Sherry answered, “No I have not. Is there anything to eat here?” Shannon was silenced by the question. An un

“Allow me, John. Sherry has never poured tea before, so she doesn’t know how to do it,” Shannon said. She wanted to get up and get the tea for him, but John held her back. He smiled. “No. You are the owner of this house. Bringing tea to the master is what a servant should do, so let her do it.” He sounded gentle and caring but indubitable as well. Shannon obeyed and sat back down. “Okay.” John then looked at Sherry who just stood there blankly. She was upset when she met his gaze and she said, “I filled your cup with tea. What else do you want?” John curled his lips though he was not angry. He patiently said, “Bring it to me.” “Don’t you have hands?” John continued to look at her. “I have hands, but I want you to bring it to me.” Shannon suddenly said, “Sherry, I know I shouldn’t order you around, but bringing tea to the master is indeed what a servant must do. If John gets his own tea, why would he need a servant?” In other words, she was emphasizing Sherry’s identit

She was her usual self in every aspect. She put her heart into her job and never started trouble so long as nobody tried to start trouble with her. The crew cycled through their locations during their shoot. The constant travel made her skin break out slightly, but there were no other concerns otherwise. The shoot progressed very smoothly and within three months, they managed to wrap up everything at the mountainous region previously mentioned. It was nearly evening when they wrapped up the shoot. Holding a bouquet in hand, she took a group picture with the crew and celebrated with everyone. After that, she planned to hitch a ride with another crew member and leave for home. To their demise, some men in uniform who claimed to be the road maintenance technicians showed up to break the bad news to them. They mentioned that they had to repair some of the roads urgently and so the way home was temporarily obstructed. The director took his phone and called the city hotline fo

He remembered his first meeting with Isabel. She was sitting all by herself on the floor, in the middle of nowhere. Her vulnerable expression only made her more endearing. So, he managed to get her to go to his place and installed her in his home. He fell for her and paid careful attention to all her needs. It did not take long before Isabel caught feelings for him as well. The two of them got together in no time. Their days were plain and ordinary, but also very fulfilling, that was until he met Clarice. With the help of his father, his power struggle with Roland had reached a tipping point. It was at that opportune moment when Clarice’s father saw something in Roland and planned to wed his daughter Clarice to him to join up their families, which was a cause for alarm for Decker. He stressed over it for an entire night before approaching Clarice himself the very next day. Clarice quickly caught feelings for him as well. Furthermore, Roland had been foolish enough to reject

Decker was smiling quite earnestly at Isabel. Isabel threw a deeply suspicious look at him, then she glanced at the stack of documents laid out on top of the table in front of her. “Transferal of Shares.” She was dumbfounded. "I've gone through the contract, it’s safe to sign so go ahead.” Roland picked up a pen and handed it to her. "Roland, I..." "Sign it first, I’ll explain when we get home.” Isabel frowned and tried to protest. "I—" "Don't make me have to beg." Isabel did not know how to respond. Fine. She briefly scanned through the contract. The contract stated Decker’s agreement to transfer the remaining forty percent of his shares in Rockwell Corporation to her. Roland must have talked to the shareholders of Rockwell Corporation about this as well. They all regarded Isabel with polite smiles. Isabel had flipped through the final page of the document. She signed her name on one of the marked-out sections. She proceeded to sign all thr

They ended the call shortly after that. Isabel glanced at Martha and was hesitating if she should break the news right away. Martha seemed to have sensed her staring and suddenly turned to her with a flash of concern. "Isabel, what's wrong?" Isabel took a deep breath and broke the news. "Auntie, Master Rockwell just passed away." Martha's eyes widened. After a lengthy silence that lasted more than ten seconds, she started to break out in tears. She covered her face with her hands and expressed amid bouts of tears mixed with laughter, “Wonderful! About time! I hope he enjoys life in the underworld. God knows that someone like him will never deserve a spot in heaven!” Isabel did not know whether she should celebrate with Martha or console her. Soon, Martha began to collect herself. She briefly wiped away her tears and joyfully took Isabel's hand. "Isabel, let’s go shopping! I’m in such a good mood today, I’m going to go on a shopping spree!” "Okay. But Roland w

Isabel held onto Roland's hand firmly during the entire drive home after leaving the hospital. It was because Roland’s hands were cold and rigid. Isabel sat with him and tirelessly rubbed his hand to keep them warm. After one hand was warm, she would shift her attention to the other. By the time she managed to warm the other hand, the original hand would turn cold again. She decided it was easier to take both of his hands and caress them with the warmth of her palms. Roland looked at her with a gentle glow deep within his eyes. “Thank you, Isabel,” he said softly. Thank you for loving him, and for sticking by his side all this time despite circumstances. Isabel smiled. “I’m just warming your hands, it's no big deal. Still, you’re welcome." Roland smiled faintly and left it at that. Soon, his hands began to warm up off of the heat of Isabel’s palms. When Isabel felt that his hands were no longer freezing, she prepared to pull her hand away. That was when

Decker looked nothing like his usual self. The pompous, arrogant man who held himself far above others and who expected everyone around him to kiss up to him because he was superior to them all. It was as if he had been plunged not only to Earth but a pile of swamp. He had completely lost his usual grace. Isabel said crossly, "Decker, have you gone mental? Is everything going on too much for you?” “Yeah, could you help me?” he said with a coy smile, “Just one hug should be enough to take care of it all.” Isabel rolled her eyes. Without warning, he suddenly braced himself and lunged right at Isabel, stepping past Brandon who was caught off guard by this sudden attack. Isabel barely had time to react. Just when it seemed like his hand was about to graze Isabel, a long pair of arms seized Isabel from behind and jerked her backward. It was swiftly followed by a long, muscular leg shooting outward right next to Isabel. Thump! Decker was kicked to the ground.

"How did you and Roland meet?" Decker suddenly asked. Isabel turned away, fully intent on ignoring him. "Did you meet each other at Carter Corporation? Or did you meet him outside of work and gradually fell in love with him, then you decided to set him up with a position at Carter Corporation?” What did he mean by that? Was he insinuating that Roland was relying on her to snake his way into Carter Corporation? She threw a sideways, belittling look at him. "Do you think Roland is anything like you? He wouldn’t latch on another woman to further his goals.” Decker was not upset by this as he continued with a smug smile. "Oh? Then how did he get into Carter Corporation?" “He proved his worth.” Isabel realized that she had been roped in by Decker again. Nevertheless, she continued, “He passed the interviews himself. I was one of the interviewers and initially planned to dismiss him, but he managed to leave a very good impression on my father and the rest was history.” "

"I never meant to kill him! Roland, you have to believe me. Why would I still try to deceive you when I’m in this state?” “In that case, you can go ahead and explain things to him in the afterlife.” Master Rockwell was taken aback by this, his demeanor tightened. "You...you..." Roland looked at him calmly. "Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you. It was Grandma and my parents who raised me. They instilled morals and virtue into me and made sure I’d grow into a decent man.” Master Rockwell was briefly relieved to hear this, but before he could rid himself of his trepidation, Roland continued in a dark voice, "But I won’t forget about you and Decker bribing all those media outlets to defame Isabel. I know you manipulated the stock prices to try to kick me out of the corporation. I’ll make sure to settle our score through the legal system.” If convicted guilty, they would have to rot in prison. “Roland… listen to me, Roland. Decker is your uncle. If you want revenge, you can come

Master Rockwell must have heard their shifting movements and opened his eyes. When he recognized the faces of Roland and Isabel, there was a brief glow in his murky eyes. He motioned to the nurse to have her help him sit up from the bed. After he managed to position himself seated up against the head of the bed, he asked the nurse to leave. Then he cast a loving, tender smile on Roland and Isabel. “Roland, Isabel, please have a seat.” Roland said disinterestedly, "We have things to get to, just hurry up and tell us what you have to say." Isabel stayed silent. A look flashed in Master Rockwell's eyes. Then, he turned to Isabel and expressed regretfully, "Isabel, I’m a foolish old man, it was me who told Decker to leak pictures of you two. He had no choice because I forced him to do so. If you have to blame someone, blame me!” Isabel frowned. She was somewhat impressed by how smoothly the old man switched his mask from one to another. From a forlorn and sad state t
