“Zachary… Connor…”Sotiria seethed, enunciating every syllable of his name. Her teary eyes turned as cold as frost. “You’ve known him for many years. You must have his phone number, right? Give him a call right now. I want to speak to him!”“Tiria...” Garrison shook his head. His eyes were filled with concern. “People call Zachary the devil of Rothesay in private for a reason. His personality is the amalgamation of fire and ice. He indulges the people he cares about limitlessly, but he’s extremely cruel to the people he hates. Based on everything he’s done to you today, he’s already categorized you as someone he hates. From now on, you have to try your best to stay away from him. What could possibly possess you to want to speak to him?”“I know…”She lifted her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes. Sotiria’s clear gaze was the gaze of a woman who viewed death as home and contained a glint of determination. “But I’m still going to speak to him. I want to stand up for myself!”“
Zachary was a formidable devil.She didn’t want him to have another confrontation with Zachary because of her.“Don’t worry. I’ll leave as soon as I ask him a few questions. It’ll be fine.” Sotiria gently patted the back of Garrison’s hand.Only then did Garrison release her wrist.Sotiria began walking away again. She arrived at the elevator and confirmed that Garrison could no longer see her before allowing her tears to stream down her face again.In the beginning, when she’d thought that she had been violated by those two men, her heart had been overwhelmed by gloom. She’d felt as if her body had been tainted and had been so disgusted that she’d wanted to puke. When she had found out that it was Zachary who’d had sex with her instead, that feeling had miraculously disappeared…She didn’t feel tainted anymore!However, an even stronger sense of hatred soon followed.She didn’t know what had happened to her.She hated Zachary!However, it wasn’t because he had violated her.
“Oh my, look over here! Isn’t that Sotiria Green?”A random passerby let out an overjoyed shriek, as if she had discovered a new world.“He he he!”Then, someone smirked in a gloomy, evil manner.“What’s wrong with this woman? Didn’t she just defile Mr. Connor during her wedding to Mr. Larson? It’s only been a few hours, yet she can’t keep herself in check. She actually sought Mr. Connor out again. Is she planning on defiling Mr. Connor again?”“Of course, Mr. Connor is the most sought-after, handsome prince charming in the eyes of every woman in Rothesay. She’s had a taste of Mr. Connor now, so of course she’d yearn for him and want more.”“Sigh! This world is so unfair. The thought of it alone makes me so angry. How could Sotiria, this outrageous snake, have possibly managed to sleep with Mr. Connor, when so many beautiful and flawless heiresses have failed to catch his eye?”“You’d better watch your words, or Mr. Connor might kill you!”“Pfft! I’m not scared. I just can’t st
Sotiria glanced hurtfully at the passersby who had stopped to join in the fun.“Congratulations, you’ve succeeded. Now, everyone in Rothesay knows that I’m a shallow snake. I can’t show my face in public anymore!”At that moment, Zachary caught the hurt in her eyes and felt her hands trembling violently. He felt as if a sharp object had pierced his heart, hurting him for some strange reason…His eyes immediately turned cold.He stared at the people around them with a deadpan look on his face. His thin lips then said in a cold, sharp tone, “What? Haven’t you seen an argument before?”The people who had been jeering at Sotiria were immediately silenced.Then, the group scattered as if they had come face to face with the devil.Even other passersby were frightened by Zachary’s aura. They deliberately took the long way around, too afraid to get very close to him. In the blink of an eye, Zachary and Sotiria were the only ones left in front of the door to Lottie’s Atelier. Sotiria
“Remember what you just said, Sotiria. Because the next time we meet, you’ll realize how laughable your words truly were.” Zachary’s voice rang out behind her.Sotiria raised her brow.“I’ve made myself perfectly clear. You and I will never see each other again.”She opened the car door, bent down, and slid into her vehicle. Then, she quickly started the car and drove past Zachary.‘Goodbye, Zachary! Goodbye, Rothesay! I’m going to leave this city, the city that’s caused me so much pain.’However, that did not mean that she was going to let go of her hatred.She wasn’t going to let Virginia get away with what she had done.She was going to keep a tight hold on Virginia. She was going to make Virginia, that snake who wore the face of her mother yet still dreamed of hurting her, pay for her deeds.Thump!The door of a white Ferrari by the side of the road was kicked open. Lucas cried out in panic before he even got out of the vehicle. “Sir, how could you let her leave like that?
Then, the door was pushed open again, and Zachary walked in…At this point, Zachary, who never showed any emotion, actually had a hint of warmth in his dark, inky eyes. “Sir, I’m sure you must be very aware that you’ve misunderstood Sotiria after seeing this footage. I even called Zenios and asked for confirmation. Sotiria and Zenios did not know each other before yesterday. He unwittingly saved Sotiria and brought her home. Their relationship isn’t what you think. Furthermore, I investigated, and the only man who’s ever been close to Sotiria over the past four years was Garrison. Even so, she always kept her distance from him. Sir, if you set Sotiria’s past aside, she really became a pure, good girl who treasured herself after she lost her memories.”Lucas’s voice echoed continuously in Zachary’s ears.At that moment, a small crack formed on Zachary’s perfect, glacier-like face.He would never lie to himself.Even though he’d made a big mistake because Sotiria had initiated sex
Naomi had just woken up when Sotiria arrived home. Garrison was on the couch, reading a children’s comic book with her.Garrison held the comic book in his hand as Naomi sat in his arms. The pair talked and laughed—the scene was warm and moving.“Mommy!”Naomi leaped off the couch when she saw Sotiria and threw herself into Sotiria’s arms.“Daddy said that you went off to see Mr. Meanie. Mr. Meanie bullied you at the wedding. Why’d you go and see him? Did he bully you again?”Sotiria gently rubbed Naomi’s little head.“Don’t worry, baby. I just went to tell Mr. Meanie off. I scolded him and hit him. He’ll never bully mommy again.”“Ah! I see! So that’s what happened.” Naomi blinked her crystalline eyes curiously. “Did you hit him badly? Did you kick his butt?”“Uh… Sure…” Sotiria couldn’t continue lying, so she quickly changed the topic. “Naomi, you said that Mr. Meanie bullied me during the wedding. What makes you think he bullied me?”“Hmph!”Naomi pouted her lips.“I saw
“Tiria, you said that you wanted to wait for our wedding night, then you’d give yourself to me. I’ve waited for this day for a very long time. At last, you’re officially my wife, and we’re going to consummate our relationship as husband and wife tonight, okay?”Sotiria’s lips trembled. She knew that Garrison really loved her, and he was a healthy, hotblooded man. In the past four years of their relationship, Garrison had asked to share a bed with him. However, she would decisively refuse every time.She had told Garrison that she would only take that step with him after they were married.Garrison!He treated her best of all in this world. He had suffered too much grief because of her. Tonight, she couldn’t let him suffer any more grief, no matter what!As his wife, she had to do her duty and give him children!“This is our first time. I hope it’ll be the most beautiful memory for us. Tiria, where would you like to do it? Here? Or on the bed?”Garrison was extremely excited. H
