She did not know why she threw up. Did she eat too much in the morning?Back in the office, she sat on the chair and took out a paper-knife from her drawer. Then, she slid the blade across the perfect skin on her arm."Hmm!" Anne bit her lips and endured. Only then could she feel better emotionally. The phone on her table rang, and she looked at the caller to find it was Lucas. She answered, "Hello…" "Anne, are you okay?""I am at the office, don't worry. I am fine.""You were brought away suddenly. It would be weird if I am not concerned." Lucas did not tell her that he did not sleep the whole night."Mr. Mewman, please don't feel too sad, even if I happen to be dead," Anne said. "What are you saying? Don't curse yourself." Lucas frowned."Are you superstitious? Everyone will die eventually.""You are still young. This is too early.""We have to face death sooner or later…" Anne sounded pessimistic. "You should think about the kids' growth, their cuteness. Other pe
That fearless gaze made Anthony feel even more flustered. It was as though no matter what he did, she could just accept it. Anthony wanted to see her in fear, just like last time. It was better than not having any reaction at all! "I want you now, in this office. We had not done it before." Anthony pulled her up, and he sat in the chair instead, placing Anne on his body. Anne knew what he meant. Her lashes trembled in disbelief. Anthony edged closer to her lips. "Beg me, and I will spare you."Anne did not beg for mercy. That thought had not even crossed her mind. She only wore a blank look on her face. "Let me see who would give in first…" Anthony aggressively bit her lips.He was only waiting for her to plead, even if it was just a brief sentence. Unfortunately, there was none. Anthony did not control himself. There were bodyguards guarding the door, and no one dared to enter the office. After an hour, the phone on the bodyguard buzzed. He answered and heard Ant
"Don't be like this, don't…" Anne knocked on her head. Why could she not focus? She needed to do this. This was her father's company. This was her father's blood, sweat, and tears. The office door was opened without permission. Anne thought it was Anthony again.She looked up but saw Bianca strutting into the office in her high heels shoes. She was wearing a pair of sunglasses and a face mask. After all, the scar on her face would not recover so fast."Looks like you are still here. I thought you would be killed by Anthony by now. What a resilient life. It's not good to be this resilient, you could bring misfortune to other people." Bianca was sarcastic right from the moment she entered. She then walked to the chair in front of the office table and took a seat, then took off her sunglasses, facing Anne. "But you don't look too good. I'm sure these two days have been rough, huh?"Anne did not say anything but picked up her phone and called security. "Come to my office."Bi
Anne did not expect the kids to be here. She looked at the triplets in her lap, stunned. It was unlike before. She looked more shocked than surprised.She remembered the wounds on her arm that she had made earlier and did not dare to hold her arms out. "Mama, we are here to pick you up after work!""We brought you cute cakes!""Mama, are you happy?"Anne nodded. "Yes, I am…"Obviously, the triplets were happier than their mother. They lay in their mother's lap, jumping up and down. Anthony walked into the office. "Can we go now?"Anne rose and brought the kids out of the office, their hands still holding the small cake.It was the triplet's idea.They would always bring desserts to their mother every visit. However, this time around, when she tasted it in the car, all she could taste was bitterness.She swallowed, but she only felt her tears about to fall.She had to try hard to suppress them.She suddenly did not know how to face her kids. They were so adorable, s
The two thin slits were exposed. Anthony's dark eyes were squinting, and his voice was terrifying. "What is this?"Next to the wound were some residual blood stains, and the wound area was swollen, apparent that it had not been treated.Anne wanted to withdraw her hand. "I accidentally injured myself…""The iron fence again?" Anthony's face was exceptionally scary. He pressed down the lock on the car door and then shouted to the driver, "To the hospital!"The driver immediately started the engine and drove away. The triplets were climbing up the staircase. They were panting and finally made it to the top when they turned around to find that their parents were not with them.Where did Papa's car go?"The kids are still there. I don't want to go to the hospital." Anne panicked, wanting to get out of the car. However, the car was accelerating, so she could not get off. "Tell me, how did you end up with this?" Anthony tried hard to keep himself calm. If he still could not
"She said... she said that she is going to cut herself every time you lay your hands on her," Kathryn said. Noticing the dazed look on Anthony's face, she added, "Mr. Marwood, you should arrange a psychiatrist for her, or this will escalate further."Frustrated, Anthony struggled to calm himself. "Is she putting on an act so I'll let her go?""Mr. Marwood, if she's faking it, she won't actually lose so much weight. It will be too late to fix it if you wait any longer," Kathryn said."Go arrange it, then!" he commanded."Sure."Anne was taken to a room and saw the words 'counseling room' by the door before entering. She sat down and asked the psychiatrist, "Is there something wrong with me mentally?""Every one of us could experience difficulties in all aspects of life, and I'm here to help resolve those. Is it social-related? Relationships with family, friends, or a lover are all categorized into social-related concerns. Maybe you can try telling me what troubles you and see if I
"Just don't touch me, then," Anne said.He approached her like a hungry beast until his lips rested right next to her ear. "Not only am I going to touch you, but we are also going to share a bed every single night from now on. Do not let me find another fresh wound on you."Anne remained expressionless at the threat. The worst Anthony could do was keep her in a cage, but she no longer cared for her life. She turned to look outside the window and muttered, "Let's see what happens, then..."Her response and tone made his blood boil, and he tried to suppress his anger. "Anne, what good will it do to fight me? You can't win against me."Anne turned to look at him. "Just kill me. I'll appreciate it.He tensed and narrowed his eyes dangerously; the veins on the back of his hands began to show how hard he was holding onto the armrest. However, Anne did not seem intimidated by him, almost as though she truly did not care if she lived or died.Feeling his anger reaching its maximum level,
Anthony did as he had promised. He had spent every single night with her and had servants watch her every minute of the day, even when she was going to work or returning to Sarah's mansion.She leaned on a massage chair without turning it on and stared blankly at the ceiling.At night, Anthony would come and take her back to the Royal Mansion.When Bianca caught word about it, she shoved all the skincare and makeup products off her dressing table."What's going on? Anne is staying in the Royal Mansion and sleeping with Anthony every night. What is this? Are they a married couple or something?" Bianca yelled angrily."It's getting worse! This can't go on. No one would remember who Anthony's fiance is!" Dorothy said."I know that!" Bianca stared at her face and was increasingly disgusted at the reflection. "But how am I supposed to seduce him if I look like this? He's just going to be disgusted at me!""Even if it's not to sleep with Anthony, you have to stop Anne somehow! You hav
