Anna’s eyes were bright with tears as she glared at him defiantly. Looking at his face that was handsome enough to drive women crazy, a playful and confident smile hanging on his thin lips, she lost her anger for a moment.But only for a moment.Because no matter how deeply in love she was with him, he didn’t love her at all.Liam turned towards her and met her watery eyes, his heart squeezed in his chest.Anna met his dark eyes, the flush on her cheeks extending to her neck.She bowed her head, smoothed her hair back to hide her awkwardness.Liam opened his thin lips, and spat out a few words, “Call me your hubby.”“…”“If you don’t, I’ll eat you up right here, you know I can, we have an agreement.”This damn man.She must have committed countless sins in her past life to be cursed with meeting him.She could’ve had a happy life as Miss Hamilton, but she was tricked into signing the stupid agreement with him.Since he didn’t like her, why would he do this to her?And yet she couldn’t
By the time Anna woke up, she was lying in Liam’s bed in the middle of his bedroom.The room was pitch-dark, the smell of cigarettes permeated the room, slightly choking.She propped up her body and looked over...Liam was sitting beside the coffee table.Cool moonlight shone in through the windows, bathing him in a cold, ethereal glow, wrapping around him like a cold layer of armor.The smoke from the cigarette floated slowly up into the air, dim light shining in the dark, reflecting in his pitch-dark eyes like a raging flame.“You’re up?”His voice was slightly cold.“Yeah, I’ve been exhausted recently.”Anna felt slightly embarrassed.How could she fall into such deep sleep that she didn’t even notice it when he moved her to the bed.If Liam was a kidnapper, she could have been shipped halfway across town without knowing it!But her words held a different meaning to his ears.His expression darkened and threw her phone towards her.Anna picked up her phone in confusion, his voice on
Liam squinted his eyes.He looked at Anna who stood in front of him, stripped bare, and a flash of hurt passed through him.As if a piece of his heart had been cut off, and as if something was slowly disappearing into the air.The feeling made him panic for a moment, then his fury overtook him.He hated Anna’s current expression, the one she wore when she was trying to hide her pain. It was clear she was hurt to the core and yet tried her best to fake nonchalance.“Anna Hamilton, if I wanted a woman, many will make themselves available. Don’t think you are the only one.”Liam reached out a long arm and held her jaw tightly in between his fingers.“Don’t think just because I enjoy your body, you can act out however you want.”She would rather be his servant than beg for his forgiveness?He pushed her roughly onto the bed, pinning her beneath him, his hands tearing at her clothes wildly. Within moments, her thin clothes turned into scraps of cloth, falling across the floor.A dominating
“The National Anthem is a righteous and virtuous song, it can even be used to ward off ghosts.”At that time, her smart and sly look made him feel like laughing and crying at the same time, thinking she looked silly and cute.Did she really think he was so fierce and terrifying?She clearly saw him coming out to look for her but pretended she didn’t see him, and actually ran away!When she knew she couldn’t run, did she start singing the national anthem to exorcise him?What was her brain made of?He leaned over and bent down, stretched out his hands, and touched her thin shoulders. He felt her stiffen noticeably, her trembling intensifying.Immediately, the song drifted into his ears again, becoming louder. The quivering also intensified, sounding more broken than ever.The light in his eyes dimmed, he pulled her up by her shoulders and flipped her over to face him.He froze…Her complexion was pale as a ghost, tear stains carved into her face like two long scars. Her beautiful eyes l
Collect his dues?Chloe looked at the dirty and disheveled Bruce in front of her.His bruises have lightened considerably, but she still felt disgusted at the sight of him.Even though he was her biological father, in her eyes, he was even worse than the beggars on the streets. Bruce could read the disgust in her eyes, and anger boiled in his chest.“You owe me money, and yet you try to kill me to silence me? Chloe Walker, don’t you dare forget, even if you carry the Hamilton name and you’re now Mrs. Dawson, you will always be Chloe Walker!” Chloe was so angry her face turned purple. She hated it the most when people mentioned ‘Chloe Walker’, her childhood name.She was now Chloe Hamilton, not anyone else but Chloe Hamilton!Her family name was Hamilton!Chloe glanced at his distorted leg and said coldly, “Karma was what hit you, nobody wanted to silence you. Don’t accuse me of attempted murder! Did you get on anyone’s bad side? Or did you want to kill yourself, ran into someone’s c
Anna was deeply asleep. In the pitch-dark room, there were no windows and no lights. She was completely isolated from the outside world.She had a long dream.In her dream, she was in a dark, empty space.There was no one around and it was empty and foggy. She kept moving forward mechanically, trying to stop but she couldn't.Suddenly, a faint light appeared ahead.She was overjoyed, and quickly walked over, but was stopped by a gorgeous, delicate-looking child.The little boy was so beautiful with his big watery eyes shining brightly. He stared straight at her with maturity and calmness that did not fit his age.She loved him so much, she wanted to squat down and touch his broken face.However, when her hand just touched his cheek, the little boy suddenly disappeared, and the surrounding wind surged, and the mist raged everywhere.When she finally opened her eyes, a tall man was standing in the place where the little boy was originally.She couldn't see his face clearly, but subconsc
The Dawson home.Grandma Dawson sat beside Anna with loving and gentle eyes.Ever since Anna saved the day at the wedding, Grandma’s love and admiration for Anna increased exponentially.“Anna, I heard you performed well during your assessment. Your parents are lucky to have such an outstanding daughter.”Anna tugged on her lips but didn’t say anything.Performed well?She caught Liam’s vague smile through the corners of her eyes. She wished she could kick him in the shins and ask him how Grandma Dawson found out about this.Bryan, who was sitting beside Liam, looked at Anna's fair and pretty face. A complex emotion welling in his eyes.He felt uncomfortable ever since Chloe told him about Liam and Anna.What Chloe didn’t know was that her actions would actually arouse his humiliation and competitiveness. His eyes traveled between Anna and Liam.To him, Anna had always been the dull and boring girl in the jeans and white shirt wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses with her hair cut i
Grandma Dawson tightened her grip on Anna’s hand and slowly said, “Anna, I’m getting old now. I’m not sure how many more years I have left. I don’t feel secure entrusting the whole family to Bryan.”“He’s too rash and conceited, I know it’s all because of his childhood, he’s not a bad person at heart. He’s a child born out of wedlock, and our family places honor above anything else. How could we let him and his mother join the family?”“He was bullied non-stop and suffered as a child.““Then his father passed away, and our family only had Amelia, the only daughter, so I took him home. By then he was already 10 years old, his mother had passed away from an illness, and he was sent to the orphanage…”“He looked like a street kid, filthy from head to toe! Sigh, by then his personality and character had already formed.”“I know, a part of him still hates our family, if we took him in earlier, maybe his mother would still be alive.”“Actually, he has an inferiority complex. He wants to fulf
Chapter 860 The EndThree years went by. Liam held a press conference and announced earth-shattering news."All my properties will be transferred to Anna." This news made a sensation in the whole city, which shocked Anna."I object it."After Anna got off work and went back home, she walked into Liam's study, emphasizing every word. "I won't accept a single cent of your properties! My own company is very big now. I don’t lack money."Liam frowned unhappily and said coldly, "This is my love for you." "I only need this one." Anna held tightly the diamond necklace that Liam asked her to design, a satisfied expression. Liam looked at the diamond necklace and smiled."This is yours. This is designed for my beloved woman."Anna blushed and glared at him, "You kept it a secret at that time. You are so cunning!""I want to give you a surprise!" Liam gently held Anna's shoulder and was about to kiss her when a clear voice rang at the door."Mommy, Daddy, what are you doing?
Chapter 859 Will Be HappyUp to now, Sherry still remembered that Michael was totally drunk and called Nina's name for the whole night after he proposed to Tania successfully.Seeing that Michael was so sad, Sherry and Michael's father were worried about Michael.Sherry and Michael's father discussed it in private. Since Michael was so sad, they would better fulfill his wish."It doesn't matter for us to publicize what happened in the past. Your father and I don't care about it as long as you are happy."Sherry stroked Michael's cheek gently. Her tone was filled with love. "You're our only child... We were worried that you would estrange from us if you knew that we were not your birth parents, but you have known about it for many years. You are still so filial, obedient and excellent. We are very glad...""I'm Nina's aunt. Of course, I hope she will be happy. So do you, my dear son.""But what outsiders will say about Dad and you?" Michael was reluctant to publicize these things
Chapter 858 Pretending to Be Happy All the Time"I know that you love Michael very much. Since you love each other deeply, why do you separate because of misunderstanding?"Tania looked at Nina with tears in her eyes.Nina took a step back in shock, "What are you saying? Impossible!""You are no blood relations at all... Maybe I misheard. But that's what I heard at that time. If you don't believe me, you can ask him about it.""Michael was worried that if the news that he wasn't the biological child of the Hart family was exposed, it would affect Dean Hart's reputation... That's why he didn't dare to mention it. He could only separate from you and hide his secret..."Tania choked while saying, "Actually, I really love Michael. I really don't want to be separated from him... Am I stupid? If I pretend that I don't know, could I be with him?"Tania's eyes were red from crying, "But if I don't tell you about it, I would be really sad. I think I've done something really bad...""I
Chapter 857 I Have No Place in His Heart By the time Ethan knew about it, Anna had been sent to hospital by Liam. Anna choked smoke and was in a coma now. Fortunately, she was sent to the hospital in time, and she was fine now. When Ethan visited Anna at the hospital, Liam was feeding Anna chicken noodle soup. "The doctor said you have to eat something lighter." Liam said gently. Anna was unhappy and pouted, while she still looked sexy and charming with her eyes dropping. "That doesn't mean excessively light food, right?" "Well, chicken noodle soup does have very little chicken and noodles. If you are recovering well today, I will put more chicken and noodles in the soup for you tomorrow." Liam took the spoon, gently blew at it and carefully placed it before Anna's lips. Anna had a mouthful, and then her eyes swept over the small table next to her. Liam immediately sent some appetizer to Anna's mouth, "This is also what I had the cook prepare specially for you, I
Chapter 856 It's My FaultThe yellow-haired man was coaxed to drink a few glasses of red wine and finally got tired of waiting.Seeing him walk towards her slowly, Anna backed away in fear."Can you wait a minute? I want to know who wants to ruin me. Can you tell me?"The yellow-haired man sneered. He grabbed her shoulder and dragged her towards the round bed behind him."I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!"Anna was pinned down by the man.At that moment, Anna's heart was beating faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of her chest."Let go of me. You hurt me..." Anna tried hard to struggle."Can you be gentle? I'm so painful..."The yellow-haired man was about to kiss her neck when Anna kicked him away with all her might.The yellow-haired man's eyes widened with pain, "How dare you kick me? You've been lying to me! Fuck!""Don't touch me." Anna widened her eyes in horror and in a cold sweat."Aren't you afraid I'll get back at you when I get out?"Th
Chapter 855 You Know How to Have Fun!Anna was so terrified that she hurriedly put her arms around her chest to protect herself.Someone started tearing her clothes. She kept shaking her head and shouted, "Let go of me... If you dare to touch me, I will make you pay a heavy price...""Ah...""Aren't you afraid that Liam will kill you? If he finds me, he won't let you guys go!!!""You'd better let me go now!""Don't scare me. Don't you think I really dare to touch you?" The yellow-haired man had someone bring the pills, "Make her take the pills quickly. Then she'll listen to me."...Liam was searching for Anna anxiously."Have you found Anna?" Liam was driving while calling James."Not yet! There's no surveillance near the park!" James was also distressed.Liam had an extremely cold face, with a crazy and tyrannical aura around him. He said, "No matter what method we use, we must find her now!""Okay! Mr. Ackman!"James hurriedly ordered people in the whole city to search
Chapter 854 I Have Got Nothing But MoneyAnna huddled herself up in a corner.She could only feel safe in this way.There was another woman at the place. The man with yellow hair was forcing the woman to shoot an adult movie.The woman was struggling and crying like crazy. Suddenly she fell to her knees in front of the yellow-haired man, crying and begging him."No, I can't do this... I really can't.... Please let me go... At least we had been together. You can't do this to me..."The yellow-haired man kicked her ruthlessly, and the woman was lying on the ground in pain and couldn't get up."Bah! I slept with you for one night, and you want to bargain with me? Get the hell into the room and do your job!"The woman huddled herself up, and she cried more desperately.The man apparently lost his patience. He picked up an iron bar and struck the woman cruelly.In an instant, the woman's shrill cries and pleas resounded throughout the empty and dilapidated factory.Anna shuddered
Chapter 853 Why Didn't He Come to Rescue Her?Anna's mouth was covered, and then she was put into a sack."Let go of me!" She struggled violently but was dazed by the people behind her with Ecstasy.When she opened her eyes again, she found it was so dark that she couldn't see the surroundings clearly."Are you awake? Get ready for work."Suddenly a man with yellow hair walked up to Anna and threw a book into her arms.Anna unconsciously took it and looked around nervously.The place seemed to be an abandoned and shabby factory."Where is it?""This is our studio." The yellow-haired man stared closely at Anna and smirked.Anna looked around defensively. She found some men in the corner were seriously reading the book in their hands.Anna also looked down at the book in her hand. Surprisingly, it was a script!But she had a bad feeling that something terrible was going to happen."I didn't promise to work with any studio." Anna was uncomfortable for the yellow-haired man ke
Chapter 852 Why Isn't Mommy at Home?A complete family... Anna almost stayed up all night because of what Gemma said. Who were the members of her family?She had thought that her family members were her father, her mother, Nicole, Chloe, her grandpa, Grandmother Dawson, Bryan...And Liam. Finally, it was Ethan.These people all appeared in her life, but then they all gradually separated from her.Now that the whole Hamilton family left only Gemma and her.Who else could be called her family?She slowly picked up the marriage certificate with Liam. Both she and Liam looked strange in the photo on the marriage certificate. In this photo, her expression looked like she was forced, much like the one on their first marriage certificate about four years ago.Their story seemed to have been repeated all over again.A few years later, they were back where they started.Anna touched the photo gently, she could clearly feel that Liam had been taking good care of her in recent d
