However, she could not just allow him to ravage her whenever he wanted.

She was a person, a living person, not a pet or a mistress that he kept in a house.

The next morning, Sylvia woke up as usual.

She went to the kitchen to make herself some food, and then she ate a few cloves of raw garlic and a few pieces of onions.

The stench of garlic and onion lingered in her mouth which lasted until evening.

However, even after midnight, Odell was nowhere to be found.

Sylvia glanced outside the door.

The bodyguards were still there watching the gate yet there were no signs of any car arriving.

She dared not lower her guard though. She refused to brush her teeth and went to bed in the most conservative pajamas that she owned.

The next morning, the garlicky stench in her mouth assaulted her nose and forced her to wake up.

She immediately brushed her teeth twice to remove the stench.

As a precaution against Odell, she ate some garlic and onion again that afternoon, the sme

    ‘Prepare, my *ss!’ Sylvia tried to push him away but he wrapped his hand around her neck and kissed her. She was once again silenced by his forceful kiss, all the while wishing she could bite him to death! Moments later, Odell freed her and similar to before, he got up and got dressed. While he was still getting dressed, Sylvia seized the moment to ask, “Odell, I want to see Isabel and Liam.” “You are not worthy of them,” he said coldly, the disgust showing on his face. Sylvia clenched her fists. “They’ll be worried if they don’t see me.” “You don’t have to worry about that. I’ve talked to them. They won’t be seeing you for a while.” “Why? What did you tell them?” Odell looked at her with a blank gaze. “You don’t need to know.” Sylvia was speechless. Odell soon buttoned up his shirt. Seeing her looking angry and gnashing her teeth silently somehow put a delighted grin on his face. He then left the room without saying anything else. Sylvia was left alone, feeli

    He narrowed his eyes as he looked at her. “Are you being obedient today just because of them?” Sylvia could not tell if he was happy or unhappy about this at the moment. After considering his question, she answered, “Not really.” Odell continued staring at her with a profound look on his face. Sylvia continued, “Can you let me see them?” “No.” His answer was resolute. Sylvia’s face fell but at the very next moment, she curved her lips into a smile. “Then can I video-call them or just simply call them?” “No.” His tone remained resolute as before. Sylvia was disheartened. Then, with a strong gulp, she asked, “Then can you tell me how they have been doing lately?” If he would not allow her to see them, he could at least tell her how they were doing. Odell pinched her chin and said with a smile, “A mother of such low character like you is not worthy of knowing how her kids are doing.” Almost instinctively, Sylvia swung a slap at his face, but he was faster.

    Isabel broke down into tears. She cried as loud as she could and screamed for her mother. “I want Mommy, I want Mommy…” Liam simply hugged her and stayed by her side until Aunt Tonya came in with the family doctor. Isabel immediately stopped crying but her eyes remained teary. It was a heart-wrenching scene to look at. The doctor took her temperature. “39.7 celsius degrees, she’s having a high fever. We must lower her body temperature right away.”The doctor then tried to coax the little girl, “Isabel, be a good girl and take your medicine, okay?” Isabel pouted. “I want my mommy.” Liam patted her head and said, “Sis, please take the medicine first. I’ll think of a way to get to mommy.” Isabel whispered, “Okay,” and obediently took the medicine. Then, Liam let her go and continued to stay by her side. Aunt Tonya and the doctor stayed back as well. The doctor took Isabel’s temperature once every 30 minutes just to be safe. Several hours went by but Isabel’s fac

    The bodyguard did not reveal any additional details. He simply said that Odell wanted her at Carter Residence and they had to depart right away. Sylvia’s instinct told her it had to be related to Isabel or Liam. She grabbed her jacket and quickly got into the car with the bodyguard. In less than 20 minutes, the car arrived at Carter Residence. The main gate opened to reveal Sebastian waiting at the entrance. The moment Sylvia exited the car, Sebastian urged her, “Madam, please hurry up. Isabel is having a fever and she’s been wanting to see you.” Sylvia became anxious after learning what had happened. She immediately ran into the house and headed to Isabel and Liam’s room. The doctor and Aunt Tonya were standing to one side while Odell sat beside the bed with a grim look on his face. On the bed, Isabel was hugging Liam, her face was flushed as she sobbed uncontrollably.It was heart-wrenching for Sylvia to see Isabel in such torment. She called the girl as soon as she

    Sylvia instinctively hugged Isabel tighter. Isabel lifted her chubby face from her mother’s chest and bawled at Odell, “You big Baddie, go away! Don’t you stare at my mommy!” Her little kiddy voice was clear and strong already. Odell frowned. “I’ll wait for you outside.” His words were meant for Sylvia. He then left the mother and daughter alone. The little girl then buried her face into Sylvia’s chest again and hugged her tighter. “Mommy, don’t leave!” Sylvia patted the girl’s head. “Mommy isn’t leaving. I’m just going to have a word with Daddy.” “Really?” The girl stared at her with longing eyes. Sylvia replied with a smile, “Of course. I’ll be back soon.” Isabel pouted but she finally let go of her mother. Sylvia put Isabel beside Liam and said to the boy, “Liam, take good care of your sister while I’m away. I’ll be right back.” Liam held Isabel’s hand and said, “Mommy, don’t worry.” “Okay. Thank you.” Sylvia patted the boy’s head and got out of bed. Odel

    She said, “Great-Grandma is unwell now and she’s recovering. I’ve been by her side taking care of her.” If she told the kids that she was being imprisoned by Odell, they would probably be upset with Odell again. Sylvia just wanted them to live a happy and healthy life. She did not want them to be troubled by the terrible problems of adult life. She would rather endure all of the problems herself than giving them a bad childhood. The two little ones believed her but they were also disheartened. Isabel asked, “Mommy, is Great-Grandma better now?” “Not yet, but I believe she will be soon.” “Yeah, I believe it too.” Odell heard the conversation from outside the door and his expression turned grim. ‘This shameless woman has the nerve to mention Grandmother and even pretended to be taking care of her in front of the kids. She even said that she believed that Grandmother would wake up. If Grandmother really woke up, she would be able to testify against this shameless woman’s

    Sylvia pouted. Liam said, “Mommy, you don’t have to worry. When you go to look after Great-Grandma, we’ll go and look for you there.” Isabel immediately agreed. “Yeah, yeah, we’ll look for you there every day.” Sylvia’s eyes shifted. She pondered the matter for a bit before she said, “Great-Grandma needs to rest. It wouldn’t be good to disturb her. You two can stay at home and wait for me to visit.” Liam pouted but did not voice his disagreement.Isabel also pouted, the annoyance clearly written all over her face. Sylvia hugged the two of them tightly and said softly, “Come on, be a good girl and a good boy for Mommy, please?” Isabel begrudgingly hummed in reply. Sylvia then turned to the quiet Liam. “Liam?” Liam looked at her. “Mommy, is it because of Daddy? Is it because he doesn’t want you to stay with us?” Sylvia’s expression changed. She quickly said, “Of course not. Mommy has to look after Great-Grandma.” Liam pouted even more but said, “Okay.” Just then, t

    She had not done anything wrong. Why would she be afraid? Sylvia said, “Grandmother should be recovering in a proper hospital with medical equipment.” “You don’t need to worry about that. I’ve hired the best medical team here.” “Fine.” Sylvia pursed her lips. Odell noticed the calmness on her face and the absence of guilt or nervousness. He gripped her face tighter and said coldly, “The medical team is short of manpower. I want you to take care of Grandmother every night from now on. If something happens to her, you can spend the rest of your life locked up here.” Sylvia only felt the pain on her cheeks and nothing else. She furrowed her brows and said, “I understand.” Odell freed her and continued, “You can get up now and go watch over Grandmother.” Sylvia stretched out her sore legs and got out of bed. She got dressed and left the room without sparing a glance at the man. Odell frowned. He was vexed by her reaction. He pulled out a packet of cigarettes from the dr

    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
