2024-12-18 16:36:21She quickly picked up the bath towel and wrapped it around herself. Her face was tomato red. She looked like a deer caught in the headlights. His eyes lit up almost immediately, looking like a kid whose Christmas present got in early. In the blink of an eye, he stood in front of her. She was so scared that she completely forgot to run away. She bowed her head and stepped back, wanting nothing more than to keep a safe distance from him.
However, every time she stepped back, he took another step forward. They continued doing this till he had her backed up in a corner.
"What– what are you doing?" she stuttered out, clutching her bath towel.
Daniel's strong arms blocked her from going left and right, locking her beneath him. He leaned in so close that she could almost hear his heart beating in his chest. "Did you do that on purpose?" he whispered, his breath fanning across her nose. His voice was hoarse and raspy as if he had just gone days without a cup of water. She inhaled sharply.
"Nonsense. Why would I do that to you?" she said hotly, but she still couldn't help but shrink under his lustful gaze. He raised his hand and let his fingers brush against her face like a light feather.
She should've just turned, ducked, and ran, but she didn't.
Her stillness gave him another dose of confidence as he leaned forward and kissed her on the lips.
Soon enough, he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him. She froze under his grip, not knowing how to react.
In fact, she was so surprised that she couldn't even move.
He acted like a curious child exploring his own toy as his tongue prodded inside her mouth. She groaned slightly, which aroused him even more.
It was as if time had frozen around them.
He kept telling himself to stop, but he was too enamored by her taste and fragrance that he found himself leaning against her even more. A few seconds had passed, and he finally, reluctantly, decided to release her.
He stared at her affectionately, not even noticing the tenderness in his smoldering gaze. Sonia gasped in surprise. She felt as if she had just been force fed some alcohol given how much of a daze she was in. Finally snapping out of it, she gritted her teeth and slapped him hard right on the cheek. "Bastard!"
Half of his face had the imprints of her hand.
She was the first person who had the guts to slap him!
His dark eyes flashed. "I'll show you who the real bastard is," he snarled. Without another word, he lifted her up and carried her to the bed.
As her back hit the cushions, she struggled to sit back up, but his rough hands grabbed her towel and pulled it. The air wrapped around her naked body as if she was a long lost friend.
"No!" she screamed, clutching the pillow behind her to cover up her body. "If you touch me, I'll tell the police, and I'll sue you for molestation!"
"You're my wife. No one would care."
Shit!
"Look, I was wrong, okay? I–I'm sorry," she begged. Seeing as he was so fired up from the slap she had just given him, she decided to ask for mercy. She closed her eyes, readying herself for the beating. Tears slid down her cheeks, wetting the cushion below her.
Daniel's heart twitched. He glanced at her plump lips and wet face. All of a sudden, his anger was gone. Instead, it was replaced with tenderness and guilt.
He took a deep breath and slowly approached her.
When she heard the footsteps, she tightened her grip on the pillow and raised her head, as if preparing herself for the hit.
Daniel's lips quivered at the sight. He raised his hand, flicked her gently on the forehead, and walked out without a word.
He decided to let her go for now.
Hearing the retreating footsteps, she opened her eyes and sighed in relief. She was safe.
He had gone into the shower. Not bothering to wait for him to come out, she grabbed her bath towel and ran into her room.
For the whole night, she didn't dare fall asleep. Her eyes were fixed at the doorframe. The day before yesterday, when she accidentally locked the door, he easily opened it with his credit card. Seeing as the lock didn't stop him, what would stop him now?
She glanced around the room and an idea came to her.
She jumped off the bed to push the large wardrobe behind the door before pushing the bookshelf to grant some extra support.
Thinking back to his strong muscles, she moved the sofa for a third level of protection.
Seeing as she was safe, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She just hoped that a disaster wouldn't hit her that night, because she might have nowhere else to go.

It was late at night, and the weather shifted around them. Dark clouds were gathering in the skies, and soon enough, thunder blasted across the city.In her room, small night lights emitted a dim light. However, Sonia couldn't help but shift and turn under the covers of her bed.Ever since she was a kid, she had suffered from claustrophobia. She made sure to have night lights plugged around her room to help ease her anxiety.Even then, she still couldn't fall asleep as her mind drifted towards James.Although he was going to get married, she still liked him. This love had lasted for more than five years, and she still couldn't find it in herself to get over him.If the girl he intended to marry wasn't the one she hated, then maybe she would have already moved on and have given all her heartfelt wishes. Seeing as he had chosen Fabian, it pissed her off to no end.She groaned, wanting nothing more but to claw her face.A fierce wind came, rustling the leaves in the backyard. Lightning f

Thunder crackled in a distance, but he didn't care. All he wanted was to save her. The thought of the thunder bolts and lightening sparks making contact with the iron made frame of her window sent shivers down his spine. He could die by electric shock if he isn't extremely careful!Once he arrived, he kicked the glass window and swung himself into the room. Under the light of his cellphone, he could see her lying on the ground. Her whole body was convulsing and her lips were colorless. She looked as if she had just joined the cast of zombies.He lifted her up and placed her on the bed. He began to perform artificial respiration.Sonia was finally conscious. Seeing the dim light across the room, her fear had been relieved. As he continued to blow air into her system, the muscle in her throat slowly unwound, allowing her to breathe more easily."Did you have a heart attack? Where's your medicine?" Daniel asked anxiously, glancing around."No. I suffered from claustrophobia, that's all,"

"You can sleep on my bed," Sonia stated.His lips twitched. "Okay." Daniel walked towards the bed and proceeded to lie down. When he reached out his arms to hold her slim waist, she tried her best to shrug him off."Let me go. I'll sleep on the sofa," she snapped. 'There's no way in hell that we'll be sleeping on the same bed!' she thought.She struggled under his arms, but it only encouraged him to pin her down even more. "I'm cold. Isn't it your duty to warm me up?""You can tuck yourself in if you feel cold!" She kicked the quilt towards him angrily. If she didn't ask him for help in the first place, then she would've taken the opportunity to kick him where the sun doesn't shine!"Well, you're warmer than the quilt." He placed his chin on her shoulder wantonly, breathing in her heavenly fragrance. There was something about her that made him addicted to her scent.Of course, this didn't mean that he cared for her. He had always been indifferent to these types of feelings. He wouldn'

However, Sonia didn't take further action. Instead, she slipped out of his arms, jumped off the bed, grabbed her sketchbook, and sat cross-legged on the bed.Daniel squinted his eyes just a bit to see what was happening.The girl was sketching him without his permission!How dare she!He clenched his jaw and turned to the other side of the bed.She went to the other side and continued.Seeing that she wasn't going to stop that easily, he turned back and she followed."Are you fucking dreaming?" Sonia grumbled, finally having enough.Sensing her frustration, he decided to cooperate with her. If the painting wasn't good enough, then he would just tear it to pieces and throw it into the nearest trash can.Seeing that he didn't move, she shook her head and sighed. "It seems that you also dream so fast," she teased quietly.Daniel felt embarrassed yet again.It was a humiliating experience for a man to be questioned of his ability to do something!'If a tiger didn't come out from its slumb

At that moment, Sonia took it upon herself to bargain with the venders by the roadside."Sir, it's already noon and look at your vegetables. The leaves are turning yellow and the stems are withering. If you don't sell it at 1.5 per kilogram, no one would buy it. Besides, the governor has already sent his men to patrol around the streets," she urged with her arms crossed. Back then, Sonia was used to bargaining for her ingredients in the wet market, so this came naturally for her. Hearing her latter words, the street vendor sighed. "Fine. Deal."She grinned, displaying two dimples on the sides of her cheeks. Daniel resisted the urge to snort. He didn't expect her to be so stingy that she actually put some effort in convincing the man to cut the price in half, but he liked a woman who valued her money. As long as she was willing to cooperate with him, he would definitely give her a considerable compensation for her time with him.Sonia picked up three kilograms and gave the seller twent

"I'm Mandy, don't you remember me? Six years ago, during the trip to the Himalayas, my traveling companions and I came across some difficulty. It was you who saved us."It was not until then that Daniel realized what she was referring to. Yet, this compliment didn't make him look proud. He continued to have an indifferent expression on his face. Shrugging his shoulder, he let go of the matter.However, hearing this, Sonia walked over and patted him on the shoulder. With a playful look on her face, she said, "I wasn't aware you had gone to the Himalayas. It sounds amazing!" Mandy had repeated this story a million times in the past. It was something she enjoyed narrating every now and then. They had also named this story as the independent hero climbing the mountains and rivers. The way he had hit eight gangsters all by himself was the part she told with a relish.Daniel gently pinched the tip of her chin. "There are still a lot of things you don't know."Looking at them, Mandy couldn't

"Sonia, we thought you would be devastated because of James's upcoming marriage. You seem well though, and we didn't expect you to be so cheerful like now. Have you really moved on?" Mandy asked deliberately.At the mention of James's name, Eva suddenly coughed as if to remind Mandy not to aggravate Sonia.Sonia's eyes darkened instantly. It was true that she didn't have much time to think about James after spending the last few days quarreling with Daniel. She realized just now that Daniel's troublesome attitude was actually a blessing in disguise. Since there was no chance for her to end up with James anyway, it would be a waste to think about him."I've decided to concentrate on my work. I won't date someone before the age of 25." She vowed solemnly.Eva wagged a disapproving finger at her. "You can't miss the opportunity to pursue love just because of career! Your youth and good looks are wasted on you if you keep that up. Don't think that you'll be pretty forever. The best time t

The more Sonia thought about it, the more nervous she got. She almost jumped to her feet and tried to run away, but Daniel didn't go to her. Instead, he went straight to the fridge and took out a box of ice cream. "I just wanted to help you with this," he said.She took a deep breath, still petrified as he pointed at her temple with his index finger and said, "You think too much. But even if you wanted to do that, I still wouldn't want to because you feel like a dehydrated dry carrot when I touch you."Her face became bright red as he spoke. When she noticed the cheeky grin on his face and realized that he was actually teasing her, she got angry, scooped out some ice cream, and wiped it on his face.This guy was a neat freak, so she thought he would immediately run to the bathroom and take a shower. She absolutely did not expect him to fight back, but he scooped out some ice cream as well and smeared it all over her face.'You want to declare war on me? Fine! I'm not afraid of you at

"Don't you have someone with you tonight?" Sonia stared at him angrily and found that Leila was not with him at the moment. She should be going to the makeup room to fix her makeup."Do you really want me to be with another woman?" He frowned slightly and felt a little displeased."It's none of my business whether you have women or not, but I'm a neat freak. Stay away from me if you touch other women. Don't make me dirty." She turned her head angrily and looked away from him. Thinking of the image that he made out with Leila, she was filled with anger and wanted to give him a punch.There was a sparkle in his dark eyes. He reached out and held her in his arms."What are you doing? Everyone is watching us. " Sonia felt ashamed and annoyed and wanted to push him away in a hurry. But she couldn't get rid of him because of his strong arms. "Everyone knows that you are my wife. Even if I have you now, nobody dares to say no.""Your ex-wife."

"Then I'll give the agreement to another company." He threatened.She was ashamed, angry, and anxious. Rolling her eyes, she said, "I can't do it every night. I still have children to take care of. Holy is now in a rebellious teenager. The family suffer such a big blow that his little heart is badly hurt. He is not familiar with his sister Cathy. There is no need to say, the only person he trusts and wants to be close to is me." After taking a pause, she continued, "How about this? I'll stay in your house every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and I'll go back home to accompany Holy every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. You should also go back to accompany Rabi. No matter how wonderful grandpa and grandma are, they can't compare with dad."Daniel was slightly angry. This woman dared to negotiate with him and hit the nail on the head. Didn't she know her situation? She could only nod. Did she have the qualification to shake her head and negotiate?"Yes or not? You only have two op

Malcolm called and told her the Emperor's request.Was it what Daniel asked her to talk with William? Sonia just entered the Vintons Group and had no idea of the development program in Sea City. How should she talk about it? Most importantly, although the position of the president has been taken over, Elizabeth will definitely not give up. She is staring at Sonia. If anything goes wrong, Elizabeth will take the opportunity to find trouble, and even incite the directors to stop the president. So she had no choice but to try.She asked Malcolm to send the cooperation plan to her, so that she could study it and make preparations in the evening. Fortunately, it was William, and they were friends. She didn't know much about building and development, so he would understand and explain to her. If it was someone else, she even didn't know how to deal with it.The next day, she went to the South Pier as promised. The Secretary of the president office, Christabel, was waiting by the dock. When

Now she really hoped that he could stay with her and wait for their baby to be born."Mrs. James, come on. The kids will come out soon." The doctor said. In New York, Sonia and James always pretended to be a couple in order to avoid the neighbors' random guesses and discussions. However, Sonia had already told him very clearly that it was impossible for them to be together again. She was a woman who had been married and had children, so she did not deserve him.But James had never thought about giving up. Although many things have changed, his feelings for her have never changed. At this moment, he was more nervous than her, trembling all over his body. Her painful cry was like thousands of sharp claws scratching his heart.After three hours, the two babies' loud cries rang in the delivery room."Yes, a boy and a girl. Congratulations, Mr. James and Mrs. James." The midwife said with a smile.With tears and sweat streaming down her face, she took a look at the babies in the midwife's

The door of the operating room was finally opened. Due to the premature delivery, the baby was not in a good condition. Valery had to put the baby in the incubator for observation.When the nurse came out with an incubator, Sonia walked over and looked at the boy through the incubator wall. The boy was so small, like a cat.Although she didn't know if he was related to Daniel by blood, she knew the boy was related to her by blood because she was his aunt.No matter how bad Valery was, the child was innocent. She hoped that everything would be fine with him.When they got back, Daniel checked out the surveillance video. He was totally pissed off when he saw that Valery pushed Sonia. He just wanted to rush into the hospital and strangle her. Anyway, since the child was born, he didn't need to worry about her at all."I will ask the hospital to do a paternity test tomorrow."Sonia nodded. There was a smile on her face when Valery and her mother knew the result that the baby was not Danie

Daniel happened to drive past the front of a hospital where he caught a glance at two familiar figures who appeared to be immersed in a romantic world of their own, without minding the public. He took a closer look and realised that the lady who was being smooched and kissed was his Sonia, and the guy was James. He couldn't believe his eyes, although by the time he saw them in the act, they appeared to be rounding off and separating from each other's embrace.Boiling with rage, he rushed out of the car and immediately pounced on James without hesitation.Blood immediately oozed from his nose and the corners of his mouth. When he was about to hit him again with his fist, Sonia rushed over to protect him. She said, "Dan, what are you doing?"Holding her up like an eagle that had twisted a chicken. The rage in his heart made him want to throw her to the ground, but his remaining sensibility forced him to endure it and slowly loosened his grip.James jumped up from the ground, like an inj

'Is he secretly attacking the city with me? ' Every time he had tried his best to take a space in her heart, James would appear and drive him away from the field without hesitation, making him become an invisible person again.What the hell! He was jealous and angry.When she saw him, she couldn't help but shudder. She felt so inferior at the thought that she might be pregnant with a bastard. She didn't have the courage to face him.How could Daniel possibly understand her feelings? He only thought that this was a sign of guilt after a private meeting with her ex. He was jealous to death.He didn't take her back to the Raymonds Mansion, but to the villa instead. He didn't want his family to know that he was interrogating her.Noticing his dark face, Sonia didn't say anything but curled up on the sofa with a pillow in her arms. All of a sudden, he pressed on her again and wanted to kiss her. Startled by his sudden act, she turned her head unconsciously.He shouldn't have touched her ag

When she came out of the clinic, she was so furious that she felt depressed. She staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Amy was holding her and comforted her, "Sister Sonia, don't be angry. Now that you have a baby, let the baby be born." She comforted.She didn't want a baby! She didn't want to have a baby with that big liar! She gnashed her teeth in anger. It was certain that Daniel was not sure of the identity of Valery's child. He was worried that the paternity test proved that the child was really his, so he had to let her go as promised. That's why he came up with this scheme. Damn it!She cursed him in her heart as she walked. She didn't notice Sage who was eavesdropping outside the clinic room.When she heard the news that Sonia was pregnant, Valery was shocked and she nearly couldn't keep her feet.

"Shut up!" With a low growl, Daniel was about to strike her with his fist. However, he was stopped by Sonia. "Honey, you are too strong. This rat can't withstand it. If it dies here, it will bring bad luck."Sage winced and hid behind Mary in horror. Sonia gave her a ferocious look and walked up to her. She walked forward and slapped on her face heavily, shocking the hall."My strength is not enough. The small punishment and commandment is just right," she said in a cold voice.Daniel came over and held her hand. "Good job, my wife. But be careful. Don't hurt your hand." Then she lowered her head and blew air for her.Sage was so shocked that she even forgot to cover her burning face. She did not expect that Sonia dared to hit her in front of Mary.Both Mary and Valery were shocked by her move.Valery was outrageous. There was a saying, 'There are certain decencies of respect due to the servant for the master' s sake'. It was very clear that Sonia was mocking at her. "Sonia, Sage is m
