Lily raised her head to look in the rearview mirror, frowning, but not saying anything. With one hand she clenched the steering wheel, the other hand pulled the car's gear lever, her leg stepped on the accelerator, and the speed of the car increased to a terrifying speed. Doris's face turned white, the horrific past with car accidents had haunted her, and she was extremely scared at such a crisis speed. She clenched her fists into fists, biting her lips to try to be patient.

Lily glanced briefly at her for a second, then focused on wriggling, swerving to escape the pursuit of the five cars behind. Six cars sped across the highway, Lily overtaking the cars ahead, using them to block the view of those five black cars.

With a movement so quick that it wasn't human's speed, Lily opened the car's drawer and took out her belongings. Doris looked at the gun in Lily's hand, wide-eyed in horror. Having lived a peaceful life for twenty years, this was the first time Doris had seen this dangero

    "Doll, today is the thirtieth anniversary of your husband's corporation, why don't you come?" Megan asked.My eyes were absentmindedly looking out the window, my thoughts still hazy, not focusing on what my best friend said. The music in the coffee shop was extremely smooth, helping me take my soul away.It took a long time before I answered her, "Don't call me Doll, my name is Doris."Megan propped her cheek and looked at me lazily, “Who doesn't know your name is Doris? But who said you're as pretty as a doll, people have been calling you Doll for 2 years, still haven't gotten used to it?"That was the truth, everyone at university had always called me Doll. When my father heard the nickname my friends gave me, he said this name was very cute, so he called me Doll too. Just like that, calling for 2 years now, it was just that I was still not familiar with this name. Who would call someone a doll?Seeing my silence, Megan pinched my cheek, “Stop steering the conversation in another di

    The party celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of the establishment of Sapphire Corporation."Ethan, let's drink with me." The beauty with blue eyes and sexy figure raised her glass to me with an extremely flirtatious attitude. This was an image that I'd been familiar with for more than ten years, looking at it so much that I was sick of it. Although disgusted, I still lifted the corner of my lips to smile at her, clinking a glass."Beauty invites, why won’t I drink?" Actually, I wouldn't have noticed her if she weren't the princess of the neighboring country.I raised my wine glass and took a small sip. My eyes wandered around.The opening speech was over, now it was time to enjoy the party, next would be the dance part. I lowered my eyes. I didn't ask Doris, she really didn't come. Then, I laughed to myself, even if I invited her, she would probably find an excuse to refuse. She hated me so much that she didn't even want to look at my face no more, how could she take the initiative

    When Doris went downstairs to find a drink, she saw a dark figure sitting on the sofa in the living room. She gently reached out her hand to find the switch, turned it on, and cautiously retreated to the back of the room. Seeing clearly who was sitting there still did not make her relieve at all.Ethan’s eyes was suddenly hit by the light, still unable to adapt. He quickly put his hand over his eyes, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Turn it off."Doris hesitated for a moment, finally obeying him, turning off the light. The four-sided space sank into the endless black curtain. Even though she was at a distance, she could still sniff the strong smell of alcohol emanating from him. Was he drunk?Oh, that was right, the corporation held an anniversary party today. Doris thought for a moment, then she took steps further away from him. Drunk people are the scariest, let alone his temperament is not gentle at all. She should stay away from him.Doris went to the kitchen and opened the r

    People often said that marriage was the grave of love, the final destination of all relationships. What about an arranged marriage without love?It was the grave of life. There was no way out, no way back.Doris awoke from her nightmare, her spine dripping with sweat. She dreamed that she slipped and fell into the abyss, kept falling and falling. Both body and soul were suspended, being dragged by invisible forces to bottomless hell.She didn't seem to be fully awake yet, her big, watery eyes looked around bewildered. Obviously, Ethan was no longer here. They had not slept together for a long time. They lived in one room but no longer shared the same bed. He rarely came home, and when he did, he also stayed in the study room. This spacious bedroom was left alone for her to live in.Since when did their relationship become worse like that?She had no idea.Doris sat leaning against the headboard, subconsciously recalling what happened three years ago.This marriage started off very vag
