"Who is your lover? Does he live in the New Horizon City? What have you two done? Has he worn you out already?"The insulting words from Gabriel's mouth filled Catherine with shame. She kept her mouth shut and turned her head away, ignoring him.Gabriel grabbed her chin, forcing her to look at him, and suddenly pressed her down on the seat. He lifted her shirt, and his hand pressed on her belly, making her scream, "What are you doing? Don't touch my stomach!"Catherine desperately grabbed Gabriel’s hair, yanking it hard enough to make him wince. Eventually, he pinned her wrists above her head.He continued doing what he wanted, despite Catherine’s crying pleas. In his current madness, if he followed through, their child would surely be harmed. She didn't want to... no, no..."Don’t cry. That guy couldn’t possibly satisfy you like I can. I’ll make sure you never forget this.""Bastard! You were the one who told me to leave, and now you’re the one clinging to me. You’re shameless!"Cath
"What do you want now?"Catherine stood up abruptly, the blister on her foot bursting, causing her to wince in pain. But that was nothing compared to the fear the man before her instilled.Why had Gabriel come back?Gabriel noticed her foot, a flicker of pity crossing his eyes, but it quickly vanished.Hmph, if she hadn’t been so stubborn, he wouldn’t have left her stranded. She brought this on herself."Get in the car," Gabriel ordered.Of course, Catherine refused. Once her taxi arrived, she would leave immediately.But Gabriel didn’t need her consent. He approached, grabbed her elbow, and pulled her into the car. The café owner wanted to call for help but was too frightened by his cold, deadly gaze to utter a word."Where are you taking me? Didn’t I already tell you I slept with another man? I’ll tell you now, I won’t just sleep with one person, but several at once if I feel like it. So what? If you’re disgusted, just let me go."Catherine yelled continuously in the car, every word
Catherine whirled around and grabbed Gabriel’s collar, shouting angrily: "You scum! You can't harm my friend!"Emily was more than just a friend to her. They were like sisters, and Emily’s parents treated Catherine like their own daughter. She couldn’t let anything happen to them.But Gabriel was so cruel, he would surely do something to hurt them, and she would be the cause of their suffering.Gabriel pried her hands off and smiled: "Think carefully. If you need anything, just message my assistant."After speaking, Gabriel left the house with a bloody head, leaving behind Catherine, who collapsed weakly on the floor.Now, there was no one left to stop her from going to the New Horizon City, but she didn't dare to go. She feared Gabriel would harm Emily's entire family.At this moment, Catherine felt utterly exhausted. She finally couldn't hold it together any longer and burst into tears....Gabriel drove to the hospital to bandage his wound. On the way home, he was still in shock, n
Three years ago, he had known she couldn't have children but had insisted on marrying her anyway. Now he was saying he needed an heir, and of all people, he had chosen Juliet, her foster sister.Seeing Catherine remain silent, Gabriel decided not to bring up her pain again. He walked over, helped her onto the sofa, and asked gently, "Is your stomach hurting? I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow."Catherine immediately refused, "I don't need your help."Going to the hospital would surely reveal her pregnancy, which would truly be dangerous.Gabriel was displeased. The hand resting on her shoulder tightened slightly as he sternly said, "Don't be stubborn. I'll give you a spanking."This was a playful remark often exchanged between couples, but to Catherine, it felt bitter. She replied, "My face just healed. If you want to hit me, go ahead. It wouldn’t be the first time."What Gabriel hated most was this tone of hers. He wondered why she couldn’t be soft and affectionate like Juliet. E
Catherine quickly checked her account balance and discovered it had increased to nine digits."Five hundred million?"Catherine rubbed her eyes, staring at the phone screen in disbelief. She had expected the two designs to fetch, at most, fifty million. She had planned to use that money to cover expenses when she moved to the New Horizon City. But now, having suddenly received such a large sum, she was at a loss for what to do next.In the end, she could only feel excited and sent a message to Emily."Oh no, sent it to the wrong person."Panicking, Catherine quickly recalled the message. She had mistakenly sent it to Michael. Hopefully, he hadn’t seen it yet, but fate wasn’t on her side — Michael had already read it."Are you referring to the designs 'Snow Maiden' and 'Singing Wind'?" Michael messaged her.Catherine, surprised, replied: "How did you know?""Because I’m the one who bought them."Catherine was even more shocked after reading his message. She never expected Michael to be
It's been almost a week since the engagement, yet Gabriel hadn’t touched her, which made Juliet very anxious. So she boldly decided to drug him with an aphrodisiac. Soon enough, the two of them would have an unforgettable night together.Knock, knock, knock.Suddenly, the door to the room knocked, and a maid entered, announcing, "Madam invites you over for a conversation."Juliet immediately panicked, but she couldn’t refuse Mrs. Sterling. She bit her lip and rushed over to her room, thinking if she was quick, she could make it back in time.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Sterling kept her talking for a long time, and by the time Juliet returned to Gabriel's room, he was nowhere to be found.Bang!Catherine was startled awake, then helplessly slumped back on the bed. That jerk, Gabriel, was here again!He never bothered to knock, only liked to kick doors open, so rude."You again, what are you... mmph..."Before Catherine could finish her sentence, her lips were sealed by his. The man pressing on
“Damn it! How dare you spend the night outside, Catherine? Who did you sleep with? You’d better hope I don’t catch you, or I’ll break your legs.”Gabriel kept calling Catherine, but she didn’t pick up. He immediately ordered his assistant to investigate while he returned to the Sterling family home.Juliet, seeing Gabriel return, happily rushed to greet him, only to be met with his cold, expressionless face.Without a word, Gabriel dragged Juliet to the room and slammed the door shut. He didn’t want his mother or grandfather to hear their conversation.Juliet, frightened and trembling, asked, “What’s wrong?”In a low voice, Gabriel asked, “Did you put an aphrodisiac in the chicken soup last night?”Only after drinking that soup did he lose control and want to be with Catherine.Juliet lowered her head, knowing she couldn’t hide it, and with tears welling up, she choked, “Yes, I’m sorry, Gabriel. But I really want to have your child. You won’t touch me, so how can we have a baby? Hu hu
Gabriel leaned his head back, enjoying her service. Every inch of her body was dangerously seductive, even her hands. Just by using her hands, he already felt so much pleasure—if she used her mouth...Gabriel caressed Catherine’s lips, then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Suck it for me.""Get lost!"Catherine abruptly stood up, but Gabriel quickly pulled her back, laughing as he said, "Why are you mad? I'm just giving you an easier way out. If I finish quickly, you'll get to rest sooner, isn’t that better?"Better, my foot!Catherine seethed, silently cursing his ancestors for eighteen generations. Seeing her still standing there, he said, "Hurry up and keep stroking. If it goes soft, you’ll have to start all over again.""Bastard."Catherine muttered under her breath, reluctantly sitting back down to continue serving Gabriel. She had no idea how long it had been before her hands became sore, and only then did he finally release."Good job, here's your reward."Gabriel tossed
