She was still wearing high heels. After walking a few steps, she sprained her ankle.

After some time, a red car suddenly stopped in front of her.

Her eyes lit up, and she rushed forward. “Please, kind man, can you save me? I…”

Before she could say the rest of the words, she choked.

The car window was rolled down.

Looking at the familiar face, her face immediately showed horror. “It’s you…”

...

The weather in winter was unpredictable.

There was the first snowfall some time ago, and now, there was thunder and lightning.

The wind blew at night, and there was no moon in the sky.

After a while, it started to rain heavily.

The rain came too suddenly, and the pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, all holding umbrellas.

The car did not slow down in time, and when it passed through water, it caused a splash and a commotion among the people.

With her mouth taped, Belle was thrown in the trunk, tied up all over.

She did not know where she would be sent to.

She only knew that the

    “Hayden was occupied today, so he had his colleague take over. You know Guinevere’s emotions are very unstable now. His colleague simply could not calm her down. She is driving all over the town looking for that woman. I am not sure if she has found that woman or not. She has gotten rid of all the bodyguards I sent to keep an eye on her. You should go and take care of her. If something happens to her, you will need to answer to the Cohens.”At that point, he paused for a moment. “If Ella’s existence is exposed…”He did not need to say the rest for Weston to understand.Sure enough, there was a long silence on the other end.Henry heard the sound of fabric rubbing, followed by the man’s somewhat chilling reply. “Okay. Keep an eye on Guinevere, and I will take care of it.”“Alright.”He hung up and sighed, rubbing his brows.When he looked out the windows, the thunderstorm was raging, and the lightning struck.The curtain was blown open suddenly. As he stood in front of the large

    Guinevere’s eyes turned gloomy when she saw the familiar car through the rearview mirror.Her hands were still on the steering wheel, and her fingertips were white.She did not know how long it took. She saw the man in a black trench coat get out of the car and stride to her car.No matter how many years had passed, her heart could not help but flutter every time she saw Weston walking toward her like this.How could she let go of such a man?She could never let go.There was a knock on the car window.Weston had walked up to her.“Guinevere, get out of the car.”It was still running heavily, but his voice was clear.Guinevere opened the car door. Her eyes were red.Before she could react, he grabbed her and dragged her out of the driver’s seat.“Are you crazy?”She covered her ears and shouted, “Why are you here to control me?” “Weren’t you doing this to force me to come to you?” He pressed her against the car door to sober her up a bit.Guinevere was still wearing the

    Wasn’t it only natural that she, as his fiancée, would want to give her a piece of her mind?That was what she thought, and that was what she said.She even questioned Weston, “You said that you'd take care of me. I gave you Zachary. If it weren’t for you, would I suffer like this?”“For me?” Weston looked like he had heard the funniest joke in the world.The string that had been taut snapped at this moment. “Guinevere, you are sick, so you have a shield.”His tone was cold. “You can attack and slander anyone with impunity, but I hope you can recall what you’re saying now when you remember.“I, Weston, have wronged everyone but you.”The rain was getting heavier.It was almost pouring.The man’s words entered Guinevere’s ears word after word.They were sensible people but had both lost control at this moment.The tape on Belle’s mouth was ripped away. She felt pain and wanted to shout for help, but was forced to listen to their argument.Ben cast a cold look at her and warn

    For his family, he could pretend that none of this had ever happened. He could pretend that everything was fine, just as they wanted. He could pretend to be Guinevere’s husband. He could pretend to be Zachary’s father.But he could not and would not pretend to love Guinevere or treat her affectionately as she wished.Guinevere wiped away the rainwater on her face. The tears that she shed had disappeared into the rain.She suddenly burst into laughter.“So you’re still mad about that, huh?” she taunted.She held her head in her hands, as if all her memories came flooding back to her all at once.“I’ve been chasing after you for so many years,” she said, almost rambling. “Did that mean nothing to you at all? Why can’t you just turn around and notice me for once?”“Too many women have been chasing after me, Gwen,” he replied. “Too many to notice them all.”Weston turned around and walked away.“But I’m not like them!” Guinevere ran after Weston and wrapped her arms around him fro

    The question rattled Guinevere. She could not possibly return to Ford Mansion like this. Wendy would certainly be shocked and suspicious if she saw her in this state. Besides, Zack was still in Ford Mansion too, and he would be terrified of her if he saw her in this kind of mess. So where could she go?“I… I don’t know,” she finally answered in a hoarse voice. “Why don’t you just take me to any hotel nearby? I’ll get myself a room and spend the night there.”Her feeble voice made Weston frown. He remained silent and drummed his fingers on the steering wheel.“You’ll spend the night at the Golden Eve Apartment,” he announced after a long pause as he massaged his temples.Guinevere’s eyes instantly lit up. She looked at Weston with bewilderment.Golden Eve Apartment was Weston’s own place outside of Ford Mansion. He had never brought anyone there before. Guinevere had been persuading him to let her stay there with him, but was always refused.She had only ever been there once, an

    Guinevere was still in turmoil.“What if I told you that I insist on having you here with me?”Weston swept a cool glance at her and said, “No one can force me to do anything.”He then turned around and walked out the door.“From now on,” he added, “you can stay here whenever you like. You don’t have to ask for my permission. The keys are near the entrance door. I will change the ownership of this apartment and put it under your name.”He then closed the door behind him and left.It was a thick door, but the sound of Guinevere’s piercing scream could still be heard outside.Guinevere collapsed on the living room floor. She kneeled there and screamed her lungs out while pulling on her hair. She had tried so hard for so long to be let into this apartment, yet now that she finally had her wish, it turned out to be an empty, meaningless victory. It was as if fate was mocking her.It was now about half past three in the morning, but Stella still couldn’t fall asleep.Every time she

    The thunderclap jolted her awake from the daze.Stella recoiled, and her body shivered violently. She tossed the pillow across the room, and it landed on the floor. She looked at Weston. Seeing that he was still sleeping, as if completely unaware of what just happened, she climbed out of bed to pick up the pillow and placed it where it belonged.She shrank away from Weston completely, aghast of what she was doing just now.She was trying to kill Weston.Her whole body quivered at that realization. She dreaded to think what would have happened had she succeeded in her attempt. Weston was a powerful and influential man. If someone of his stature was to be found dead in her bed, there was no way that she would be able to get away with it. There would be nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Even her brother might be implicated too.Stella was inundated by a sense of remorse and regret.She felt remorseful for the horrendous act that she almost committed. At the same time, she regretted

    It rained so heavily last night that when dawn broke, the whole world seemed to have changed.Stella did not get a good night’s sleep at all, but she still woke up very early that morning. She tried to stretch her body but found herself tightly enveloped by a scorching warmth.As her mind was still muddled by slumber, she was stunned and confused by this, but she soon realized that the source of that warmth was the man beside her. Weston’s body had always been naturally warmer than hers. Everytime he held her in his arms, she felt as if she was leaning against the fireplace. But the heat was a little higher than usual today.Stella opened her eyes and leaned over to place her hand on Weston’s forehead. The heat almost scalded her skin. She frowned.Was he running a fever?Weston was awakened by Stella’s touch.“What time is it?” he asked, his voice hoarse and his brows knitted.“Eight in the morning,” she replied, noticing that his voice was huskier than usual, besides also

    Stella had rarely ever woken up before him.He had always been terrifyingly strong, but their lovemaking last night must have consumed a lot of his energy, leaving him so tired that he was still sound asleep.She stared at him and suddenly felt like doing something naughty. She pinched his nose and held her fingers there, trying to suffocate him. Unsurprisingly, he soon knitted his handsome brows and quickly woke up.He was surprised to see her mesmerizing eyes as soon as he woke up, which made him pause. He then took her hand into his and kissed it again and again.“Are you okay?” he asked with concern, remembering how wildly he ravaged her last night.She had only been willing to be intimate with him because she was under the influence of a drug, yet he had taken advantage of her and had his way with her over and over again last night.Stella did not speak. Seeing her like that made his expressions turn a little colder. He fell silent for a long time before he got up and sl

    The moment Stella saw him, she flew into his arms and clambered onto his body. She kissed him again and again, trying to search for his breath so she could explore his body even deeper. All she wanted was to let him extinguish the fire burning inside her.Half an hour had passed, and the effect of the drug on her body was its strongest now.Weston swallowed his saliva. Without any hesitation, he pinned her against the bathroom mirror and kissed her vehemently on her face, her shoulders, then her neck.Stella could not stop herself from letting out loud moans. The sounds she produced only drove Weston wilder. Even the corners of his eyes began to turn red now.Luckily, there was still a thread of reason in his mind. He pushed her away and, while panting heavily, asked her, “Who am I, Stella?”But Stella’s mind was occupied with her primal urges. She ignored his question and grabbed his shirt collar, saying, “Let’s do it…” The sight of her filled Weston with a desire to just give

    Weston paused, then simply replied, “Okay.”When he saw her changing into a pair of high heels, he followed her around and asked, “Where are you going?”“Oh, to a private concert.”Then she added, “If you’re going to spend the night here tonight, then please take care of Elias and Emma. But if you have to leave, I’ll ask Roger to come over instead.”“Don’t worry,” he said. “Just go out and enjoy yourself. I’ll be at home and take good care of the kids.”Stella paused suddenly, feeling inexplicably weird about what Weston had just said. It sounded like she was forcing him to stay at home and take care of the kids while she went out to have fun without a care in the world. She turned around to look at Weston, feeling like he was acting like a poor neglected housewife.She shook her head and tried to shake this terrifying thought out of her mind.When they arrived at the concert, Hayden offered his arm to her like a gentleman. They then walked into the private concert together, w

    Stella’s words rendered Weston speechless. She was right. He had been the one to agree to let Stella date other people, so he must seem like a fool saying all those things to her.He withdrew his hands and forced himself to calm down a little. “I have no intention to stand in your way,” he told Stella. “I was only worried about Elias and Emma. Since they’re also here, I think you need to take their feelings into consideration.”The children could sense the strained atmosphere between the adults, so they just waited patiently on the couch with Roger, occasionally poking their heads out to look at their parents.Seeing his kids like that, Weston slowly added, “I’m only here to see the kids, so both of you can go ahead with your date.”Stella said nothing and just took Hayden’s hand and left.When they got downstairs, Hayden glanced at her and asked, “Are you sure you want to just leave him like that?”“I don’t know,” Stella massaged the point between her brows. “I’m not sure wh

    Hayden Quirk arrived half an hour earlier than Stella did on their first date.“You’re much earlier than I expected,” he joked as Stella walked in.Stella was actually on time, but she still felt a little guilty when she saw him already waiting for her when she arrived.“The traffic is terrible today,” she said.“Don’t worry about it,” Hayden said, handing her the menu. “Mr. Ford expected me to wait for you for at least an hour.”“I seriously don’t know what you guys are up to,” she grumbled, exasperated, “but I hope it will at least be over soon. Just don’t drag it out and cause me any trouble.”She ordered a few dishes, then handed the menu back to him. Hayden took it from her, ordered a few more signature dishes that the restaurant was popular for, then looked at Stella with a faint smile.“Did you think this is all just a joke?” he asked.“What else could it be?”“I am serious about this,” he told her, his voice suddenly turning grave. “Since even Mr. Ford agreed that we s

    Weston raised his eyebrows at Ben’s words. “But he’s divorced. He has an ex-wife.”“What’s wrong with having an ex-wife?”Ben found Weston’s comment strange. “This man has good qualities. Upon investigation, he has a very good personality too. He was an active member during college. He also has an amazingly beautiful resume. It’s normal that a man like him has been married before… Besides, hasn’t Ms. Sealey been married before herself? She even has two children.”Weston’s expression turned cold at once. “Are you discriminating against her?”“I’m not.”Weston said, “Or do you think she can only find a divorced man for her second marriage?”Ben panicked. “I wouldn’t dare!”With Weston’s ridiculous amount of nitpicking, they could find no one that would match Stella.Hayden sat beside and quietly reviewed Weston’s latest psychological health report. As he turned the page, he suddenly said, “I’m actually a little interested in Ms. Sealey.”Hayden laughed a little and turned to Wes

    Stella opened her eyes and shot Weston a cold look. Then, she turned her head the other way.Weston did not touch her again. He knew she was probably angry with him, so he stayed silent.A few moments later, he reminded her, “Don’t be angry. That man is unreliable.”Stella propped her chin in her palm. “And what does that have to do with you?”Weston pursed his lips, setting his jaw in a tight line. He said, “I’ve promised to stop pestering you. It’ll be a promise. I’m fine with seeing you with another man, but at least find someone who makes me feel at ease.”“Why do I need your approval when I’m just looking for a date?” Stella found his words funny. “You’re just my ex-husband. Don’t you think you care too much?”Weston rubbed his brow, and his voice suddenly went cold. “If you don’t want me to keep pestering you like I just did, maybe you should listen to me.”Stella questioned, “Are you threatening me?”“No. I’m suggesting.”Stella was lost for words. Then, she suddenly

    Stella froze for a moment when she heard the voice. When she turned around, she saw that Weston had appeared behind her at some point.Weston stared at the man behind Stella with a cold gaze and an icy aura around him. Weston had always emitted a strong aura around him. Anyone who saw him would immediately be terrified because of his intimidating aura.The man froze for a moment at Weston’s sudden appearance. He took a step back and quickly steadied himself before greeting Weston, “Mr. Ford.”He still had the same calm and gentle look. “I’m sending Miss Cicily back.”“I know. Don’t ever show up in front of her again,” Weston told him. “You don’t have to send her back. Stay away from her.”It would be a little inappropriate for the man to act a fool at Weston’s straightforwardness, so he tugged at his collar and asked Weston with a polite smile, “Mr. Ford, you should give me a reason, shouldn’t you? I’m having a good time with Miss Cicily.”“You’re the one who thinks she’s having

    Stella smiled. It seemed like he had come prepared.Stella enjoyed chatting with the man. He was sincere and introduced himself properly as soon as they started chatting.The man was also a pianist and came from a scholarly family. Although not super wealthy, he was doing considerably well in the middle class. Stella would not need to worry about the quality of life with him, but that was about it. She certainly could not live a luxurious life.Stella had a good impression of him. She also talked to him a little more about piano music.Stella twirled her hair and smiled. She told him with a nice voice, “I’m sure Roger has already told you about my situation.”“I know.”The man looked at her gently and set the coffee in front of her. He said to her, “I’m very interested in you. I think we’re very suitable for each other. Our living standards nowadays have improved quite a bit. Not many look for a partner purely because of material qualities. People with emotional needs will search
