The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 44
"Why are you ignoring me?" Stanley's voice was gentle, almost coaxing.For a man of Stanley's stature, power, and influence, his willingness to lower himself to console a woman could easily give the illusion of deep affection, pulling her in with the temptation of emotional attachment.But Wendy remained clear-headed, knowing all too well that Stanley's affection had never been meant for her.He had given it all to Jessica.Wendy kept her head lowered, her long lashes fluttering slightly. She still tried to stand up. "Let go of me!"Stanley's smile grew more pronounced. "Are you upset?"Wendy chuckled, finding the idea amusing. "What do I have to be upset about?"Stanley's tone softened, laced with concern. "Did I hurt you earlier? Did I make you hit your waist?"Wendy shook her head, denying it. "No."But Stanley's large hand moved to her delicate waist, gently cupping the area as he leaned closer, his voice soft but steady. "Is it here?"It was indeed there.Wendy had noti

Wendy adjusted her white shirt and turned to face Stanley.The phone was still on the nightstand, the ringtone playing over and over. Yet, Stanley didn't even glance at it. He didn't pick up Jessica's call.That was probably the first time he had ever done that.Stanley, tall and lean, stood up and removed his black suit jacket. Underneath, he wore a white shirt, but there was a large stain on the back—blood. Wendy's mind flashed to the lash Glinda had struck him with earlier.That lash had cut deep into his skin, but his resolve was unshakable. He didn't show a hint of pain on his face.The wounds needed to be treated or they could get infected."I'll get the first aid kit and take care of that for you," Wendy said.Stanley turned his head to look at her, his lips curving into a small, teasing smile. "A moment ago, you wouldn't even look at me."Wendy bent down to grab the first aid kit. "I just didn't want Grandma to worry."Stanley sat down on the bed. "Take off your shir

Wendy had finished dressing his wound. Unfortunately, Stanley's injury had become infected, and as soon as he lay down, he started running a high fever. He felt freezing cold, so she turned on the air conditioner and piled several blankets on him, but he still shivered. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and his lips turned pale.Wendy couldn't help but think that he deserved it. Why hadn't he treated his wound properly when he took Jessica to the hospital? She gave him a shot to help him get through it, but he would have to endure the fever on his own. Once the fever passed, he'd recover.Wendy pulled the blankets aside and lay down next to him. His body was ice-cold, radiating an almost unbearable chill. She couldn't just leave him like that. Biting her lip, she pressed her slender form close to his, hoping to warm him.He lay with his back to her, and Wendy avoided his injury, wrapping her arms around him from behind.Stanley could feel her warmth as she curled up against

He reminded her that the area was dangerous and urged her to leave quickly. The people chasing him were closing in, and she wouldn't make it out alive if she stayed. But the girl didn't leave. Instead of running, she struggled to drag him with her, pulling him into a hidden cave. "Big Brother, this place is safe. They won't find us here," she said.He looked at the girl—so young, only a child. It was already into the winter months, but she was wearing just a thin, faded dress that had been washed so many times it was nearly white. It seemed like she had been in this forest alone for a long time, her only companion the tattered doll she clutched in her arms. He was badly injured, his body icy-cold. The girl reached out and hugged him. "Are you cold? If I hold you like this, you won't feel cold anymore." He looked into her eyes, so clear and bright. "Why are you here alone? Where's your home? Where are your parents?" he asked.The girl was silent for a moment. "I have no ho
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 48
How much pain must she have been in back then?Stanley gently placed his hand on her soft waist, admitting to himself that his feelings for her had grown more tender.He lowered his head, leaning closer to her face. His voice, still thick with sleep, came out hoarse as he whispered, "Wendy, did I hurt you? I'm sorry."He said those words softly, almost to himself.In her dreamlike state, Wendy didn't respond. Her breathing was light, her body so soft that every strand of her hair seemed to carry a delicate sweetness.Stanley's throat burned with heat as he tried not to look at her youthful, inviting form. Despite his best efforts, he found himself leaning in, almost succumbing to the desire to kiss her soft hair.Just as his lips were about to brush against her, Wendy made a small sound and slowly opened her eyes.She was awake.Stanley quickly regained his senses, stunned by what he'd almost done. What had come over him?He actually wanted to kiss Wendy's hair!How could he,
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 49
Wendy noticed Stanley with Jessica. Jessica, who had already been discharged from the hospital, stood beside him, looking radiant as she looped her arm through his. The two of them, like a perfect match, looked completely at ease with each other.Cecelia snorted in disdain. "Stanley really does love Jessica, huh? Even after all that drama with Mrs. Glinda, he acts like nothing happened and just gets right back together with her."Wendy hadn't expected to run into Stanley and Jessica at the bar, but seeing how quickly they'd made up didn't surprise her. There was no trace of shock on her face. She simply curved her lips into a faint smile and said to Cecelia, "So, you just now realized Stanley loves Jessica?"In the past, this might have disappointed her, but now, she was numb to it.Just then, the sound of high heels clicking on the floor caught her attention. "Mr. Hawk, Jessica! What a coincidence," came Trish's voice.Wendy looked up, surprised to see that Trish had also arriv
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 50
The first round of the game landed on Stanley, and the atmosphere instantly grew more charged.Trish flashed a playful smile at Stanley, her lips curling seductively. "Mr. Hawk, it's your turn for Truth. Tell us, have you and Mrs. Hawk...consummated your marriage yet?"Everyone at the table, except Nathan who had just returned from abroad, knew that Wendy was Mrs. Hawk. Trish's question was clearly meant to embarrass Stanley and probe into whether he had been intimate with Wendy.The rich heirs at the table, always eager for drama, started whistling, adding to the tension.Trish cast a sly glance at Wendy before turning back to Stanley. "You and Mrs. Hawk have been married for three years now. Have you never been with her? How much do you really not like your wife?"Jessica, not wanting to miss her chance, turned her haughty gaze toward Wendy. "I told Stanley not to touch Mrs. Hawk, so of course he hasn't."Together, Trish and Jessica were clearly trying to humiliate Wendy.Be
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 51
But Stanley was Jessica's. What should she do? Uh-oh. The rich kids were getting excited again. Trish was famous for being a catch, and she was still single—many had a soft spot for her. Wendy smiled. "Trish, it's your turn to pick." She glanced at Jessica with a playful smirk. "Jessica, we all know Trish has a certain pride about her. Who do you think she'll choose?" Jessica shot Wendy a glare. "Of course, Trish is outstanding. Plenty of men are chasing after her. She must have a bit of that arrogance. That's public knowledge." Wendy smiled, saying nothing more. Jessica turned her attention to Trish, genuinely curious. She wasn't sure who Trish would choose, either. Since coming back to the country, Trish had become Dr. Ceylan's assistant. Meanwhile, Archer's family was in Edith's good books, and Trish was picking her ideal match among Hovendale's high society. Jessica looked at Trish. "So, who will it be?" Everyone eagerly watched Trish, waiting for her to make

"Of course not!" Wendy immediately denied, her voice firm. "I wasn't with Mr. Hawk last night!" As she spoke, Stanley couldn't help but smirk inwardly. She was so afraid of Nathan finding out they'd been together that she lied to cover up their night.That little liar. Nathan glanced at Stanley, a puzzled frown on his face. "Stanley, why aren't you saying anything?" Stanley's handsome features remained emotionless, his eyes cold as ever. "Didn't she already say everything?" He decided to go along with her lie. Wendy, feeling the awkwardness creeping in, quickly tried to exit. "Mr. Hawk, Nathan, you two can talk. I'll step out for a bit." She left the room, leaving the two men alone. Nathan, clearly annoyed, walked up to Stanley. "Stanley, you need to be more perceptive." Stanley raised an eyebrow, giving Nathan a confused look. Nathan sighed dramatically. "When Wendy and I are together, you should find a way to leave and give us some private time. Got it?"

Stanley furrowed his handsome brow, lifting his gaze from the papers to look at Zayn. "Where did he go?" "George ran to the Crone family estate," Zayn replied. "And Mr. Gondale has already invited thirty-six media outlets from Hovendale to hold a press conference. They're planning to accuse Mrs. Hawk of abusing and abandoning her adoptive father." Stanley pressed his lips together, his irritation growing. What was Benny thinking? "What are you all doing? You incapacitated George, and he managed to escape?" Seeing his boss get angry, Zayn was drenched in cold sweat. "Mr. Hawk, it's—" "It's my orders," Wendy suddenly interrupted in a clear voice. Stanley turned to look at her. "Your orders?" Wendy nodded. "Yes, I told Zayn to let George go on purpose." Stanley's dark gaze deepened. "Why would you do that? They're planning to hold a press conference. That scumbag is trying to stick to you for life! I'll send my men to the Crones estate to bring George back, and the

"Mrs. Crone, you have to help me! Mr. Hawk locked me up! I managed to sneak out, but if he catches me, it's over!" George's voice trembled with fear, the memories of Stanley still haunting him. He pleaded for Lilian's help. Of course, Lilian would help George. He was her trump card, something she could hold over Wendy. She wasn't about to let her ace become useless. "Mom, what should we do now?" Jessica asked, her voice filled with concern. Harry's mood darkened. Lilian had just managed to do something that pleased him, and now there was a complication. "Lilian, what's your plan now?" he asked, a hint of irritation in his voice. Lilian turned to Harry, trying to calm him. "Honey, don't get upset. This isn't over yet." Jessica's eyes brightened. "Mom, did you think of something?" "Jessica, call Mr. Gondale. He does whatever you say, right? Now is the time we need him!" Benny genuinely cared for Jessica and treated her like family. Jessica nodded eagerly. "Okay,
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 97
Wendy's eyes gleamed in the dim light from under the blanket, and she suddenly burst into laughter. Stanley, his voice hoarse, asked, "What's so funny?" Wendy looked at him, a teasing smile playing on her lips. "Should I say I'm tired, or not tired?" The playful, teasing tension hung between them, sparking desire. Stanley chuckled, his lips curling into a grin as he leaned down to kiss her again. -The next day, at the Crone family estate. In the bedroom, Lilian lay contentedly in Harry's arms, holding onto his neck as she playfully scolded, "You were rough earlier. You really hurt me." Harry smirked, his thumb gently tracing her jawline. "Are you satisfied now?" "Stop it…" Jessica had called Harry, and he rushed home, ensuring that Lilian, who had been feeling lonely for so long, was now thoroughly satisfied. As he held Lilian, he asked, "Did George really take Wendy away?" "Yes," Lilian replied with a smile. "That annoying obstacle is finally gone. S
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 96
She kissed him. Stanley's eyes turned crimson as he quickly pushed her away. "Wendy!" Wendy gazed up at him, her face soft and innocent, yet there was a subtle, playful hint in her eyes. "Aren't you going to answer Jessica's call?" Stanley lowered his gaze, then forcefully captured her lips again. The phone kept vibrating—Jessica was still calling. Wendy felt a strange thrill, like she was caught in a forbidden act. Even though she and Stanley were legally married, it almost felt like they were sneaking around behind Jessica's back. Stanley kissed her hard, almost as if punishing her, biting her soft lips, then taking control, ravishing her breath like a storm. This little minx—she loved teasing him. George was right—Wendy loved to seduce men. Even at a young age, she had managed to capture the attention of the worst kinds of people. At that moment, her soft hands found their way to his body, slipping inside his shirt collar. Stanley gasped, immediately relea

She kept calling his name. Her sweet voice had already drawn the young man's attention again, and he turned to glance back.It was the kind of sound that made you want to keep looking.Stanley could only glare and head back to his side of the room.Wendy had already crawled back into bed. Stanley glared at her, irritated. "What are you doing, calling out like that? Trying to summon something?"Wendy was speechless. She was only trying to help!"I'm going to take a cold shower," Stanley muttered, heading straight for the bathroom.A few minutes later, he emerged, his body still damp as he climbed back into bed.The two of them lay in silence, the air thick with tension. From the next room, faint sounds of laughter and playful conversation reached them—the man and woman were still at it, their voices low but distinct.Stanley was about to get up and take another cold shower, but just as he moved to throw the covers off, he felt movement next to him. Wendy, who had been lying fa
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 94
The noise from the room next door continued, growing louder and more reckless. How could he sleep through that?Stanley raised his hand and sharply knocked twice against the wall with his knuckles, the sound echoing in the room. Immediately, the noise from next door quieted down.Stanley closed his eyes.But he wasn't sleepy. The restless energy of his young, vibrant body was hard to ignore in this environment. Wendy was right there beside him, soft and sweet-smelling. His mind wandered back to that night in the main bedroom at Saville Villa. He had pinned her against the wall, forcibly holding her hand...Suddenly, the noise from next door started up again.Stanley opened his eyes in irritation, sitting up. He threw off the covers and got out of bed.Just as he stood, a small hand reached out and grabbed the sleeve of his shirt.He turned to see Wendy's head poking out from under the covers. She had just been muffled, and her pale, unmade-up face now had a faint flush. Her wi

Stanley had already come out of the bathroom. He had heard the entire voice message.Wendy stood frozen, her mind blank. She jumped up in a panic. "Wait, let me explain…"In her frantic state, her phone slipped from her hands and landed on the bed.Cecelia's voice message played right after, "Stanley's in great shape—he must have a six-pack! And I've heard that men with long fingers are amazing in bed. Wendy, go for it and sleep with Stanley tonight!"Wendy, who had been trying to explain, froze. She felt like jumping off the building. Oh, my god! What was this mess? She had started out having a serious conversation with Cecelia, but things took a wild turn, getting more inappropriate by the second. The atmosphere had become unbearably awkward. Wendy glanced at the man by the bathroom door, letting out a dry laugh. "So you heard all that. Just remember that those were Cecelia's words, not mine."She figured it was best to throw her friend under the bus.Stanley, freshly s

Stanley nodded and led Wendy toward the room.Wendy furrowed her brow slightly, curiosity flickering in her eyes. "What did she say comes with extra charges?"Stanley glanced at her, her innocent eyes wide with question, as if she was eager to know. He turned away, offering no response.They entered Room 503. It was clean, but there was only one bed.Wendy couldn't help but feel uneasy. How were they going to manage with just one bed tonight?"Wendy." Stanley called her name from behind.This was the second time he had said her name.Wendy turned to face him. "What's wrong?"She suddenly remembered their unfinished conversation. "You wanted to ask me something in the car earlier. What was it?""Did you—"Before Stanley could continue, his phone pinged, the sound cutting through the moment. It was a message from Jessica, along with a photo. Stanley opened the photo to find one from Jessica's childhood. As he looked at it, he noticed something: Jessica's childhood face
