“Ahhhh!” Venus' eyes slowly flew wide open amidst pitiful groans. She massaged her brows and took a glance at the room, and memories invaded her head.

Upon feeling the strangeness coursing through her body, her eyes enlarged, and she sat up abruptly, not minding the pain coursing through her.

Upon seeing the person sleeping next to her, Venus felt as if her soul had flown off her body, and she screamed, “Ahhhhhhhh!”

Venus' voice was so loud that if it weren't for the room soundproofing, her voice would have resounded in the whole hotel!

Venus' noise successfully woke Zaire's guard, Wolf.

The moment Wolf saw his and Venus' state, his calm expression broke and his face contorted due to shock.

Quickly, he sprang off the bed in his nakedness and bowed to Venus, “I'm sorry, Miss Venus. I didn't mean for this to happen.” He implored frantically.

Immediately, Wolf's expression changed. Although Wolf went into Venus’ room last night, he did so to see Venus' condition and call in Venus' g

    Venus pushed past the door into Freya's office. Upon seeing Freya sitting behind the computer while going through a file, her sweet expression slipped.Freya raised her head and smiled upon seeing Venus. She stretched her hands and motioned Venus to sit on one of the couches. Venus nodded her head and sat on the chair elegantly. Venus repeatedly snuck glances at Freya while she played with her fingers, her expression tight-lipped.After a few minutes, Freya stood up from her office seat and made her way toward the opposite seat.“Mom.” Venus bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with anxiety, and her fist clenched. She darted her eyes and stared at Freya with hesitation. It was as if she wanted to say something, yet she was afraid that her words might end up causing trouble.Upon recalling that it was Venus who made her know the trouble Lotus caused last time, Freya's expression turned cold. “Is this about Lotus, bitch? Tell me what had that bitch done again.” She fumed and uttered in a

    Lotus stared at her phone absentmindedly, several chaotic thoughts pervading her mind. This made it the seventh day that she hadn’t heard from Zaire.Although she tried several methods to convince, after receiving pictures and different audio notes of Zaire and Venus's conversations, could she be any more stupid?At first, Lotus believed that what she couldn’t stand was cheating, but now how could she leave? How could she leave Zaire like that? Although he had hurt her at first, he had done everything he could in order to seek her forgiveness and heal her. She would rather that he keep making her hate him rather than destroy her this way. It hurts a lot. The thing that hurt the most was not hearing his voice and seeing his face. The thought made tears slip past her eyes. Yet Lotus kept trying to raise the idea that this was a scheme somewhere. That Zaire will return and tell her none of those things happened. That it will be like that time back then when there was evidence to prove

Despite the thoughts coursing through her mind, none of them were revealed on her face. She held Freya's arms and stared at her in concern. “Mom.” Freya's face darkened; when had she ever been subjected to such a type of humiliation? Lotus is truly a bitch! “She must really have serious mental issues!” she seethed. Lotus’ reddened eyes fell on Zaire and her matrimonial room, and her eyes turned moist and her face and nose reddened. She bit her trembling lower lip and reluctantly withdrew her gaze away from the room, which she had now become accustomed to. It seems she thought highly of them... Of their future. What a pity! Lotus cleared her throat, blinked back the tears into her socket, and straightened her back. Quietly, she began to pack her things out of the closet. A few minutes later,

    In a grandiose mansion, the ambiance was soft and beautiful, with soft instrumental play in the background. Venus sweetly lay on Giorgi's chest, a sweet smile plastered on her face. Venus extended her hand and clicked a glass of alcohol together with Giorgi. Giorgi raised the glass cup and poured the drink down his throat. He smirked. "It’s all over now, baby. Cheers for putting an end to the obstacle.” All this while, he had been searching for how to end Zaire and ruin the Ludovic family. Who knew that the golden time would come like this? “That cocky Freya always stuck out her nose at everything and anyone else, but surprisingly she listens to you without suspicion. Baby, you are the biggest blessing sent to me.” Giorgi stroked her cheeks fondly. Freya had always been arrogant, calculating, and funny. Perhaps it was due to the fact that she loved Venus; she had always put Venus first and believed her words. Venus's eyes gleamed with a cunning glint, and she swirled the content in

    “Yes, my baby.“ Doctor David quickly matched a certain weird-looking flower from Zaire and hugged it, crocodile tears falling past his eyes. “After all these years. Sigh! I never knew I would touch you in this pitiful lifetime of mine.” He cried out dramatically while stroking the flower and ignoring Zaire's bloody state. Assistant Onyx and the two guards glared at Doctor David. This doctor was truly a bastard and vile person. Only heaven knows what Zaire has done to Doctor David. Even if assistant Onyx and the other two guards are being leisurely and Zaire is busy, Doctor David would rather add more to Zaire's job and let the three pass. They can't help wondering if Zaire had offended him in the past. “Boss.” Assistant Onyx and the two guards immediately stood up and took a step forward as if to help Zaire.Before they could complete their words, Doctor David’s leisure gaze fell on them, and he began to whistle enigmatically, causing their expressions to change.Zaire placed the

    Venus' face reddened; she flailed her legs in the air in struggle and tried to pry away Zaire’s hand from her neck, but she failed woefully. “Cough. Cough. Do you think that bitch was worthy? The only reason she has always been with you is to win over that person. Now that Dylan and Aubree already fight, it's her cue to return to Dylan.” She let out while gasping and struggling for breath.Vebus bit her lower lip pitifully. “Zaire, we are from the same world, and we are the ones meant for each other, not you and that girl.” She cried out with tears in her eyes. Suddenly, her eyes flickered with an enigmatic glint. Luckily, she had erased part of the CCTV; there was no way Zaire would see how that bitch left. “Quiet…” Before Zaire could complete his words, Freya stepped into the room. Upon seeing Zaire holding Venus by the neck, her eyes widened, and she hurried toward them. "Zaire, what are you doing? Hurry and let go of Venus.” She chided.

Immediately, he strode to the CCTV room.The instant Zaire stepped into the CCTV room, the guards in charge of the room immediately stood up. Zaire raised his hand calmly, his actions signifying that the guards should leave. “Yes, boss.” The guards bowed to Zaire and made their way out of the room.Zaire strode toward a new computer, placed differently at the corner of the room. He powered on the computer, unlocked the computer, and began to go through it.Soon the footage of the mansion from a few days ago began to play. Zaire’s blank eyes fell on the woman on the screen, and the blankness in his eyes switched to pain. Zaire’s expression changed upon seeing the woman’s sad, pitiful, and frail state, which was due to the fact that she wasn’t able to get him on the phone. Zaire’s expression softened and his brows knitted, a complex

    In the dark and gloomy cell, Giorgi’s arms and feet were chained to an electric chair, his hair completely tousled and his white shirt bloody. There were bruises on his face, and his skin and a few of his teeth lay on the floor. His face and lips were so swollen like a pig, and he looked so completely different from his previous self that even his parents wouldn't be able to recognize him. Zaire grabbed Giorgi by the collar and threw an umpteenth punch at him. Giorgi let out a muffled growl, and his head thrust back as a result. Immediately, he spat out more blood, causing his clothes to be redder and wetter. Upon seeing Zaire’s berserk state, Giorgi’s shoulder trembled, and he laughed loudly, revealing his bloody red teeth. Suddenly, he stopped laughing and chuckled in amusement. He articulated one after the other as if he were afraid that Zaire would miss his words. “What? Do you feel dead inside now? Do you feel as if you were about to die? Do you feel completely hopeless insid
