Aidan laughed out of anger at Sasha's words.In the past, she had been throwing herself at him. But now, she was acting like a virtuous woman.He threw off his shirt and lunged toward Sasha."Come on. Stop pretending. No matter how angry you are, I'll take care of it in bed."As he said that, he grinned like a beast in heat and went for her lips.Feeling the stickiness on her cheek, Sasha struggled to hold back her tears. Like a waterfall finally breaking, they couldn't be stopped and slid down her face."Aidan, if you don't want me to hate you, get off me and leave my house."Aidan froze for a moment.He had known Sasha for seven years, ever since she worked at the club. But in all this time, he had never seen her cry—not even two years ago when Ella passed away, and Aidan helped her with the funeral.But now, Sasha was crying.For reasons he couldn't explain, seeing the tears on her face caused a sharp pain to surge in his heart. He even found himself wanting to wipe them a

After Aidan left that day, he didn't contact Sasha again.Sasha could more or less guess what Aidan was thinking. He was waiting for her to appease him.In the past, she loved Aidan, so he always put him first.She had used every skill she learned at the club to seduce a man to win Aidan over.She had provided him with emotional support and meticulously managed everything in his life. She had truly poured all her effort into loving him, like a moth drawn to a flame.Just as Sasha thought she would leave during the silent treatment with Aidan, she received a call from him that very night.He asked her to meet at the club, saying there was something important to discuss.Sasha hesitated for a long time, torn between going and not going. In the end, her emotions won over her reason.After seven years of loving him, she wanted to say a proper goodbye.She even thought she might ask him, just once, whether there was ever a moment in those seven years when he truly loved her.But w

Sasha was heading to Ella's hometown.Before Ella passed away, her biggest wish had been to return to her hometown.Back then, Sasha had been too busy with work. Besides, her hometown had brought her too much pain, so she'd kept putting off bringing Ella's ashes back.Even though she forced herself to hold back her emotions, when the cold air hit her face, all the sharp, painful memories locked deep in her mind rushed back, slamming into her.Ella had been the other woman. After Sasha was born, Ella had been exposed by Priscilla Berg, the wife of the man she was involved with.In retaliation, Priscilla didn't just spread Ella's photo around town. Every time Ella tried to find a job, Priscilla and her people would show up and cause a scene—smashing things, tearing off her clothes, and doing whatever they could to humiliate her. Throughout Sasha's childhood, the only images she had were of Ella covering her body in public or begging Priscilla on her knees.Ella, unable to keep an

Meanwhile, Aidan was having a rough time.Ever since Sasha left, he hadn't been able to reach her. Her phone was off.When he went to her apartment, he found that she had changed the passcode on the lock.He asked Heidi, but she either mocked him with sarcasm or sneered as she told him that Sasha was never coming back.But Aidan didn't believe her.Anyone could leave him, but not Sasha.After all, she had told him countless times that she would never leave him.Yet a month passed, and there was still no sign of her. That was when true panic set in.Aidan rushed to Sasha's apartment and had someone break down the door.When he stepped inside, he found the place completely empty.For the first time in his life, Aidan felt real fear.Before he could even process it, the landlord, Carissa Kinney, showed up at the door.She was furious when she saw Aidan break the lock and immediately asked for compensation.Aidan's eyes were bloodshot. Without a word, he pulled out ten thousan

The moment Aidan hung up on the supplier, the frustration and exhaustion on his face were impossible to hide.After hastily paying a full year's rent to Carissa, he rushed back to the office.But just as he reached the entrance, he saw Natalie slap Heidi across the face."You idiot! You can't even handle something this simple? So what if I sent the wrong product model? You're the PR here. Instead of groveling at the factory and fixing it, you had the audacity to make me sign an accident report? Dream on!"Aidan's eyes burned red with rage when he saw that.Heidi was the most capable assistant Sasha had left behind. Ever since Sasha left, it was Heidi who held everything together, keeping the company from falling apart.And now Natalie had slapped her.Just as he was about to step forward and unleash his fury at Natalie, Heidi suddenly slapped Natalie back."Natalie, did you really think that I'd tolerate your nonsense like Sasha? Fine. Since you think PR is full of idiots, we'r

At the same time, Sasha listened to Heidi's rant with a resigned expression."Sasha, I swear, Mr. Gallagher is such a fucking idiot. I've never met a more love-struck boss in my life. I'm telling you. As long as that troublemaker Natalie is around, Mr. Gallagher will be bankrupt in two years."As Heidi vented, Sasha remained calm. "Enough complaining, Heidi. What happens with Aidan and Natalie is no longer my concern."I've recommended a few companies to you and already spoken with the marketing managers there. You can go directly for the interviews, and there's a high chance you'll get selected."Hearing Sasha's words, Heidi was instantly moved to tears."Sasha, can I come work with you instead? I don't want to work for anyone else. I just want to work with you. I'll take half the salary."Sasha paused, considering the offer.Since burying Ella, she had opened a high-end private restaurant in her hometown, specializing in business banquets.But business in that field relied he

Sasha's words left everyone frozen in place.Even Priscilla, who had been about to strike her, flinched in surprise.With a cold expression, Sasha pushed her aside."Call the police and get some reporters. I want every single person who vandalized my shop and broke my ten-million-dollar bracelet to be taken to the police station."Priscilla's pupils constricted at those words.But within two seconds, her anger flared, and she shouted, "Sasha, how could you possibly afford a ten-million-dollar bracelet? That bracelet must be fake! I'm suing you for fraud!"Sasha scoffed and calmly pulled out a receipt from her bag."Mrs. Slater, here's the receipt from the exclusive store I bought it from yesterday. You can check it if you don't believe me."And by the way, my restaurant is equipped with surveillance cameras. We have clear footage of everything that happened, including you pulling my arm and smashing the bracelet."Priscilla's face went pale as she quickly realized the trap. "Y

The man's name was Daniel Marsh. He was Sasha's former boss at the upscale nightclub she once worked at.Back when she was new to the industry, she had no idea what caught his attention. But for some reason, he personally took her under his wing for a while.It was thanks to his guidance that she quickly rose through the ranks at the club.And it was also because of the skills he taught her that she was able to navigate Aidan's company without obstacles.Even when she was nearly assaulted by the diseased heir and Aidan broke his hand, she wouldn't have escaped unscathed if Daniel hadn't stepped in.At that thought, Sasha suppressed the unease in her chest and stepped forward respectfully. "It's been a while, Mr. Marsh. I hope you've been well."Daniel remained as cold and unreadable as ever.Even from 30 feet away, Sasha could still feel the oppressive air around him.He gave her a sidelong glance and said flatly, "Your tactics are getting sloppy, Sasha. Is this really what I t

The next day, Sasha and Daniel went to the city hall to register their marriage.Sasha was doing it out of spite, while Daniel couldn't wait.After they got the certificate, the most surprising reaction came from Heidi.The person who said she needed to consider whether to be together yesterday was getting married the next day. That was some impressive efficiency.Sasha didn't have the time to deal with Heidi.Ever since they'd gotten married, Daniel seemed to have completely let go of his restraints. He was always by her side, his eyes constantly watching her like a hawk.When she worked, he sat on the couch playing on his phone.When she entertained guests, he stood right behind her, staring.With him constantly hovering, the guests who came to eat didn't dare shake her hand or have her serve them.One day, Sasha had had enough. "Don't you have anything else to do? You have so much business to take care of."But Daniel only lifted his hungry eyes. "If everything requires my

As Sasha held onto Daniel's hand, the cool breeze brought her a moment of clarity.Was she angry?Of course she was.Anyone would be furious to know they had been stalked by someone.As Aidan had said, Daniel was crazy. But, unknown to Aidan, Daniel was also her guardian angel.There was once when Sasha had been drunk and burning with fever. She thought she was going to die.Half-conscious, she called Aidan, and he just asked her to take some cold medicine before hanging up.Just when she thought she was going to burn to death that night, a tall figure entered her apartment. He took her to the hospital and paid for her treatment.But when she woke up, all she saw was Carissa.Sasha had been confused. Even in her delirious state, she clearly remembered the man who saved her. He was tall, over six feet.Also, many of the clients she had encountered at work had tried to harass her. There was even one time when she was drugged and pushed onto a client's bed. Aidan knew about it

After Sasha parted ways with Aidan, she went back to her rental apartment.When she arrived downstairs, she spotted the unremarkable Chevrolet parked across the street. It was the same car she often saw there.She took a deep breath.Between going upstairs to her apartment and confronting Daniel's lies, she chose to walk toward the car.As Sasha approached, it was the first time Daniel had ever felt truly scared.For seven years, he had been lurking like a voyeur, hiding in the car and watching Sasha from afar.He watched as she walked alone through the streets.He watched her cry and blow smoke rings into the air.He watched her kiss Aidan and make physical contact inside the car.He knew it was wrong, but he couldn't help himself.When Sasha left the club, he had truly wanted to let her go. But after she was gone, he realized he couldn't. He couldn't let go of her.He knew his love for Sasha was obsessive, unhealthy, and even twisted.But in those seven years of waiting f

At that moment, Sasha had no idea just how much pressure Ernest was under because of her.When Aidan appeared before her again, she instinctively frowned.Before she could react, Aidan had already approached her and grabbed her hand."Listen, Sasha. I know you're not ready to forgive me yet, but there's something really important I need to tell you. Daniel's been plotting this for a long time. He's wanted to break us up from the start."Natalie… Yeah, he sent Natalie to get close to me on purpose to tear us apart. He had her drug me so that she could get pregnant with my baby. Did you know? He's even gone as far as canceling all my company's orders just to keep me away from you."It's really not my fault. We broke up all because of Daniel. I have proof. I really do."With that, Aidan shoved a stack of papers he'd gotten from a private investigator into Sasha's hands.As Sasha looked down at the documents, her eyes suddenly turned red-rimmed.The papers revealed that Daniel had

Sasha and Daniel stood in the office, locked in each other's arms, for an entire hour. She was starting to go crazy, but since he didn't let go, she didn't dare to either.The aftermath was that her legs went numb from standing too long, and the cramps from her period hit her with a vengeance.Once Daniel left, Sasha couldn't stand the pain anymore and immediately asked Heidi to bring her a cup of chamomile tea.Heidi walked in, holding the cup, and teasingly said, "Seriously, you said you wanted to sort things out, but you don't look like someone trying to sort things out. If you weren't on your period, you and Mr. Marsh would be in bed by now."Sasha rolled her eyes. "What are you even thinking?"Heidi shrugged. "Honestly, you should just give in. Stop being so stubborn. A man like Mr. Marsh is hard to find nowadays."Sasha's expression instantly became serious. She took a sip of the chamomile tea, then quietly murmured, "I know, but I'm scared."Heidi was silent for a moment

Even when Sasha got back to the office, she couldn't shake the excitement.Once her emotions had settled, she couldn't resist asking Daniel, "Mr. Marsh, did you really forget that woman? You really don't recognize her?"Daniel immediately responded with a serious tone, "I don't know her. I don't remember her."Sasha's smile only grew wider. "Then do you remember that night we met at the police station?"Daniel nervously licked his lips.He thought Sasha had figured out that he had been following her.Back when Sasha first came to this city, he had already followed her and bought the same flight to arrive here.From the moment Sasha landed and smoked those three cigarettes outside the airport, he'd been like a dedicated stalker, doing everything he could to get closer to her.Coincidentally, that was when Sasha had a fallout with Priscilla.It was only when his driver, Ernest Conway, reminded him that he remembered he had once hired a woman who looked a lot like Sasha to ease h

Hearing the woman's furious outburst, Sasha just smirked mockingly."If your dad has that much power, then go ahead and have him shut down my restaurant tomorrow. But for now, you and your little group of trash can crawl out of here."The moment she finished speaking, the security guards arrived right on cue.Just then, Jenna, who was sitting at the head of the table, suddenly stood up with tears streaming down her face. Looking pitiful, she choked out, "Do you have to go this far, Sasha? Must you take everything from me?"First, your mom stole my dad, forcing my mom to spend her whole life in resentment. Now, I finally have someone I love, and you're stealing my boyfriend just like your mom stole my dad?"Please, I'm begging you. Stop going against me. I'll admit I was wrong. I'll even kneel if that's what it takes."With that, Jenna shoved her chair aside in agitation, knocking over the plates and cutlery on the table. She then walked over to Sasha and dropped to her knees.Sa

But Daniel wasn't just saying empty words. It was as if he truly believed that his proposal had been successful.Suddenly, Sasha's private restaurant was flooded with customers.Before she could even process what was happening, Heidi told her mysteriously, "You're done for, Sasha! Completely done for!"I just overheard something from a customer. Do you know what I heard? Mr. Marsh has publicly announced that he's preparing to get married to the woman he loves, and that woman is you!"Sasha's pupils shrank in shock.In her panic to stand up, she accidentally knocked over a glass on the table, shattering it into pieces.Heidi looked at her flustered expression and sighed helplessly. "Sasha, I know you're scared of Mr. Marsh, but you can't keep avoiding this. If you don't like him, you need to tell him clearly as soon as possible. He's not someone we can afford to offend."Sasha's gaze landed on the emerald ring sitting on her desk.Of course, she knew she couldn't afford to offen

After speaking, Daniel, with suppressed anger, held onto Sasha and turned to leave.As Aidan watched the two of them so closely entwined, he felt jealousy rise, turning his face a deep red.He couldn't care less about Daniel's status. He hurriedly chased after Sasha. But just as he was about to follow, two men in black suits blocked his path."I advise you to think carefully, Mr. Gallagher. If you go after her now, you won't be able to handle the consequences."Aidan froze in place, his fingers digging into the ring Lisa had left him. The veins in his hands bulged as he clenched it so tightly.Meanwhile, Sasha wasn't faring any better.Her body was forcefully pressed against Daniel's chest. The warmth of his body seeped through the thick fur coat, sending wave after wave of goosebumps across her skin.She glanced at Heidi, who was hiding in a corner. Her eyes pleaded for help, but Heidi only shook her head in fear.Realizing no one would come to her rescue, Sasha knew she had t
