"Don't know?" Peter repeated the words she had just said, then suddenly pulled Tania up.She stumbled right into his warm chest, and before she could react, she found herself lifted up. In just a flash, she was seated on the poker table and spun around so that she was sitting atop it while Peter stood before her.He looked down at her from above. Those deep, unreadable eyes carried something Tania could not quite understand. Her instincts told her to run, but Peter had her cornered.His hands pressed down on either side of her, trapping her in place. He raised one leg to part her knees, stepping between them. That smile on his lips made Tania's heart pound nervously. "You…" She swallowed hard, her head spinning even more.She was still young but not clueless. They had taught biology in school. She knew what that kind of posture and proximity meant. Tania inhaled sharply, unable to understand why someone like Peter—who could have any woman he wanted—would choose her and in such a

"If I'm a bastard, then what are you?" Peter chuckled, one hand gripping Tania's waist. Tania could not help but let out a soft moan as her body was gently pushed back, leaning against the table.She felt utterly humiliated, but Peter clearly had no intention of letting her go. His rough hand unzipped her pants, and she screamed.Peter merely narrowed his eyes. "Tania, I don't want to force you.""Then what are you doing right now, you jerk?" Tania was truly desperate. "I did embarrass you, but it wasn't entirely my fault. I didn't mean to humiliate you, and I've already apologized. I don't think I deserve this."Peter raised an eyebrow. "I'll make you beg me to touch you!"His lips curled into a smile, sending shivers down Tania's spine."No, that's impossible!"However, Peter pressed down on her, his fingers exploring her body. Tania bit her lower lip to keep from making a sound. She struggled, but Peter showed no signs of stopping.By the end, Tania was drenched in sweat, he

Thinking this, Tania looked up at Peter."You're really something. I'm indeed begging you now," she said with a smile, though there was a hint of reluctance in her eyes. She wrapped her legs around his waist, determined not to be passive, even if she was giving herself to him.Peter was surprised by Tania's sudden change in demeanor, but he did not reject her. With one strong motion, he lifted her up. She kissed him fiercely, taking the lead. He welcomed her initiative, his hands igniting sparks that set both of them ablaze.Peter roughly tore off her clothes. As her eyes grew hazy with desire, he placed her on the table and entered her in one swift motion.The encounter was long and intense. At first, Tania thought Peter would only take her once, but she underestimated his stamina. He went again and again until she finally passed out from exhaustion.When Tania woke up, she was lying in bed, and Peter was gone. Her head throbbed, likely from the hangover. She sat up and noticed t

Lareal nodded. "This agreement was drafted by me. Ms. Fischer, do you have any objections?"Heh! He actually had the nerve to ask if she had any objections?"If Peter wanted me to sign this, then why didn't you make it clear?""We did. You personally looked at it yesterday, Ms. Fischer. Mr. Lennon asked you several times, but you were the one who refused to sign it," Lareal replied with a smile playing on his lips.The more Tania looked at him, the angrier she got. Unfortunately, what he said was true."Ms. Fischer, let me take you home.""No need, I'll go back myself!" Tania gritted her teeth. "Stay away from me, or I might hit someone. And even I'd be scared of myself when that happens!"She raised her fist like she really meant to throw a punch.Lareal did not insist. After she left, he made a call to Peter. "Mr. Lennon, Ms. Fischer has left.""Mm." Peter gave a brief acknowledgment."Mr. Lennon, Ms. Fischer saw the agreement. She was furious." From the way she looked like

Tania flinched under Liliana's stare, instinctively wanting to look away, but Liliana grabbed her arms, forcing her to face her.Tania felt a pang of guilt, but Liliana was not going to let her off that easily."Tania, look me in the eyes and tell me—where exactly did you go last night?" From the way Tania was acting, Liliana already had a rough idea, but she still hoped Tania would say it herself.She wanted Tania to tell her she had not done anything out of line.Tania grew increasingly uncomfortable under Liliana's piercing gaze. The scenes from the night before kept flashing through her mind, and she clenched her teeth, refusing to speak.Liliana could only offer a helpless smile. "Tania, we're friends."Tania lifted her head reluctantly, her voice hoarse. "Liliana… would you look down on me?"Liliana's heart ached at her words. "Why would I? What makes you think that?"Seeing how pale Tania looked, Liliana took her hand and gently patted it. "Tania, we're friends. I want y

Sean seemed to be busy on the other end. Liliana called several times without anyone picking up. When she tried again, someone finally answered, but it was a woman's voice."Hello?"Liliana froze, momentarily unable to react. The woman spoke again. "Who is this?"Then, it clicked. It was Joanna's voice.Joanna had access to Sean's phone? She even answered his calls?Liliana instinctively tightened her grip on the phone, her fingers trembling slightly.Hearing no response, Joanna glanced at the screen. The contact was saved as "Little Brat", which made her gaze turn colder."Hello?" Joanna asked again, her voice icy. "May I know who's speaking?"Liliana tried to keep calm and asked, "Isn't this Sean's phone?"Joanna recognized her voice instantly, and her tone grew even more indifferent.It was Liliana!What exactly was the relationship between them that made Sean save her caller ID as that?Jealousy surged in Joanna's chest. She let out a light laugh."Yes… So, what do you
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1986
"Peter, I don't know why you're getting involved with Tania… but she's my best friend. Can you… treat her better?"Peter chuckled again.Liliana felt increasingly uncomfortable. Though she had not met Peter many times, it was not that few either—yet she had never seen him laugh. Today, she had heard him laugh twice already. Was what she said really that funny?"Liliana, Tania is my woman now."Liliana's face flushed immediately. She clenched her phone and replied, "I know."She was not clueless. She had already seen the marks on Tania's body. However, hearing those words directly from Peter's mouth brought her an odd sense of relief.Peter might be ruthless, but he had one trait—once he claimed something as his own and once it bore his mark, no one else would dare touch it.For him to say Tania was his woman, that counted as a form of protection, did it not?"Well… if there's nothing else, I won't bother you further.""Mm."Peter ended the call with a faint laugh.He had not

"No need," Sean replied, clearly impatient.This dinner was orchestrated by the Smiths, and Sean already understood Savannah's intentions. Joanna had just saved Savannah's life by chance, which earned her Savannah's favor. Now, Savannah was trying to matchmake Sean and Joanna.They had already had dinner together once before, and Savannah's intention could not have been clearer. However, Sean did not believe that a life-saving favor meant he should sacrifice his own happiness—especially when he did not even like Joanna.Clearly, though, Savannah and Joanna were not ready to give up. Just today, right after he had finished an operation, Savannah called and insisted he meet Joanna for dinner.Sean rarely turned Savannah down, but he figured his attitude was already obvious. Unfortunately, neither Savannah nor Joanna seemed to get the message.His long fingers tapped rhythmically against the table, his gaze frosty. He looked completely different from the playful man who had joked wit

"Sean, stop messing around. Let go of me first," Liliana tugged at Sean's arm, realizing how tightly he was holding her. "You're choking me."Only then did Sean loosen his grip slightly, though he still did not let her go. His forehead rested against hers, and he panted softly. "Liliana, do you remember what you said to me in the fire?"Liliana's face turned red, and she awkwardly turned her head away. "N-No, I don't remember. What did I say? I don't think I—mmph..."Before she could finish, Sean kissed her, swallowing the rest of her words with that one stubborn kiss.Liliana raised her hands and smacked Sean on the shoulder, trying to push him away. "Sea—mmph, what are you doing? Let me go..."She shoved him hard, and Sean stumbled back, clutching his chest. Liliana's face went pale, and she rushed over. "Sean, what's wrong? Are you okay? Did I hurt you somewhere?"Nonetheless, Sean took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her again. That feeling of holding her tightly

Noelle raised an eyebrow. "I didn't say that."Then, she added, "That knot in Liliana's heart can only be undone by Sean."What happened back then had always been a shadow between the two of them. Noelle had noticed it these past few days. Though Liliana stubbornly claimed she no longer cared, she clutched her phone every single day, obviously waiting for a call.Liliana's social circle was small. Noelle and the others knew everyone she knew. Who else could she be waiting for but Sean?Charles furrowed his brows. "If Liliana can't have the best, then she's better off with nothing."Noelle could not help but laugh. "Alright, alright. I know you're still holding a grudge against Hayes and Savannah."Honestly, Noelle shared the sentiment. "Savannah really crossed a line with how she handled everything."Charles reached out and gently pinched Noelle's knuckles. "That's not what I meant."Noelle chuckled, exasperated. "I know."Outside, the sound of a car engine drew their attentio

Sean shoved Hayes away. "Dad, if you're just like Mom and trying to stop me from being with Liliana, then don't even bother. If I can't marry Liliana in this lifetime, I won't marry anyone else."With that, Sean lay down decisively. Hayes frowned. "Sean, this isn't about what we want anymore. It's about Liliana and Charles now."Truthfully, Hayes did not have many opinions about Sean and Liliana's relationship. He was always too busy with the company to pay attention to such things. Even the events from four years ago were only now becoming clearer to him."If you insist on marrying her, I won't stop you. But from what I can see, the problem lies with Liliana and Charles."Sean's gaze sharpened as he clenched his fists. "That's impossible. Liliana already forgave me back when the fire happened. She promised that if we both made it out, she'd marry me."Hayes sighed. "Your mother… She misunderstood Liliana and said some harsh things. Just rest for now. Once you're better, we'll go
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2126
Sean spat out a mouthful of blood. One hand gripped the bedsheet tightly, his gaze turning darker than ever."What do you mean by that? What do you mean she doesn't want to marry me? She promised me. She said that as long as I was willing to walk out of that fire with her, she'd be with me. You're lying to me, aren't you? Tell me you're lying to me."Sean's bloodshot eyes locked on Savannah's. "Tell me."Savannah was momentarily stunned by the sheer force of Sean's gaze. This was the first time she ever felt fear in front of her own son. "Sean, I…""Where's Liliana?" Sean demanded."Sean," Hayes called out as he pushed open the door and stepped in. "That's no way to speak to your mother.""Then how should I speak to her?" Sean's voice turned icy."Did you know it was Joanna who drugged me nine years ago? And while I was under the influence, I forced myself on Liliana? I misunderstood her, and as a result, she had to hide in the countryside for years."Four years ago, it was me

The operating room door swung open, and Liliana spun around. She saw Saxon step out. Not caring about anyone else’s opinions, she grabbed his hand. "Mr. Holt, how's Sean?"Saxon looked down at their hands, noting how soft and warm hers was. He met her eyes and nodded. "The patient is out of danger now. He should wake up by tomorrow."Hearing that, Liliana let out a sigh of relief and then suddenly fainted."Liliana!"Charles rushed over and wrapped Liliana in a tight hug, but his eyes quickly darted to Hayes and Savannah. "Now that Sean is safe, Sean's fate is no longer Liliana's concern, nor ours," he declared, speaking for the Hoffman family.With those words, Charles carried Liliana away. Saxon was tugged along by Linda. "Saxon, you should check on her. The young lady seemed off to me. She's been hiding her pain. Besides the wound on her shoulder, I think she breathed in a lot of smoke."Saxon's eyes shimmered for a moment. "Yeah, I'm aware."Liliana had been pushing through

"Charles, you…""Stop it!" Hayes was taken aback by Savannah suddenly slapping Liliana. He did not particularly like or dislike Liliana, but she was part of the Hoffman family, and their family commanded much respect. Besides, Noelle was still Charles's wife, and they had to be careful about their actions.Hayes turned to Charles. "I'm sorry, my wife acted without thinking. But what in the world happened today?"Hayes had been told that his son was hurt, but he did not know the details. When he arrived and saw Liliana was there and injured too, Hayes and Savannah could not help but think that Liliana must be connected to Sean's injury.Charles gave a sharp look. "It was Joanna's doing.""Joanna? No, that can't be!" Savannah was shocked to hear the name Joanna, and she quickly objected, "Joanna is such a sweet girl, she couldn't possibly...""Oh, sweet indeed!"Liliana, who had been silent until then, finally spoke. She narrowed her eyes and stood up, ignoring the pain from her w

"Liliana!""Get up quickly!" Liliana used all her strength to pull Sean up from the ground. "Can you walk?""Uh-huh!" Sean had been hit by a falling piece of wood on his leg when he tried to push Liliana out earlier. That was why he could not get out in time and could only hear Liliana's loud calls from outside.He had wished so badly for Liliana to leave quickly, but she had come back for him.Sean bit down hard and pushed himself up.Even if it was hard to walk, he had to try because Liliana wanted him to stand.Liliana slung Sean's arm over her shoulder, noticing his injury. Her eyes were red with tears. "Sean, hang in there. If we both make it out today, I'll forgive you. You can ask me to do anything.""Really?" Sean's eyes sparkled, and he smiled. "Liliana, I don't want you to do anything." In his heart, he added, ‘I just want you to marry me.’"The fire is licking at our heels, and you two are still dawdling," came Charles's icy voice from up ahead. In a flash, he was be

"Sean, where are you? Didn't you just say you love me?" she cried out. "How can you leave me like this, saying you love me and then j-j-just giving up? What am I supposed to do now?"Sean, you took our child from me. How could you think I'd just forgive you? If you don't make this right, I swear I'll never forgive you," Liliana yelled outside, her voice filled with madness. Inside, the plant was engulfed in flames. Shaking from head to toe, Liliana's screams slowly turned into a whisper. She clenched her hands tight, staring blankly at the fire. "If you're gone, what's left for me here?""Liliana!"Charles rushed over and saw Liliana moving toward the flames. He grabbed her and pulled her back. "What are you doing?"Liliana looked up, dazed, and saw Charles. She quickly stood up and grabbed his hand. "Charles, please. I'm begging you. Help me save Sean, please!"Charles's brow creased as he looked at the fiery red inferno, his fingers tensing. "Liliana, the fire's too big. Sean mi

Liliana shoved Sean aside and covered him with her body, taking a knife stab from Joanna. "Ugh..."Pain whitened Liliana's face, and blood dripped onto Sean's face. Reacting quickly, Sean rolled over, picked Liliana up in his arms, and seized Joanna's neck, twisting it hard until it cracked. Joanna's eyes bulged in disbelief as she stared at Sean."You..."She had not thought Sean would actually snap her neck. Her eyes were wide open, one hand clutching a knife, and the other holding a lighter.With her last breath, she tossed the lighter.A loud bang followed, and flames started to spread from that spot.Sean's eyes darkened as he carried Liliana and dashed for the exit. However, how could he outrun the swift spread of the fire while burdened with Liliana's weight?Liliana's eyes widened as she saw the flames creeping up behind them. She pushed Sean, urging him, "Go now, or it'll be too late!"However, Sean's eyes turned a deep red with emotion. "Liliana, I won't let go of you
