“You’re crazy! Has she placed a spell on you?” Yvette felt dizzy and overwhelmed.“I mean everything I’m saying now. She can live without me, but I can’t live without her. Mom, there’s no need for you to waste your time…”Mark then turned to Summer and straightened her clothes. “It’s cold here. You better go up now.” His voice was soft instead of stiff and firm.Summer looked at Yvette, frowning, trying to say something, but he stopped her. “It’s okay.”Summer nodded. Without saying anything, she turned around and went upstairs.“Where are you going? Did I say you can leave?” Yvette refused to let go, lifting her foot in an attempt to catch up to Summer.Mark grabbed Yvette’s wrist with his big hand and forcefully dragged her to the car. He pulled her by the hand and made her sit in the back seat.“I’m not finished! How can you let her go when I haven’t finished speaking?” Yvette refused to sit down quietly in the back seat.The car was moving fast, and Mark was sitting next to
Jazz went to Athana again, saying that he had some contracts to sign, leaving only Mark and Yvette in Valentine mansion.Harry came in with a thick stack of documents that needed Mark’s review. Then Mark went to the study.Yvette sat alone on the sofa in the living room. The big living room was so quiet that there was not a single sound. She turned on the TV and turned it up loud so that she would not seem too lonely.The Valentine mansion was so big, but only a few people would sit and talk with her. Who else could she talk to when Jazz and Raine were not around? Sitting on the sofa, her mind started to wander, and when she thought of that b*tch, she immediately gnashed her teeth again!She must not let this matter continue. Mark said that he was going to stay with that woman, and maybe they would remarry!What would happen to her if they remarry? Let that little b*tch piss her off every day?No, she could not let it go on like this. She would not!This time she must use a cr
Daisy was laughing behind them. She thought she had made the right decision. “Are we ready to go?”They did not go to the train station, but to the airport. Mark had asked Harry to return the train ticket and get a plane ticket instead.Harry had been waiting for them at the airport, got the ticket and checked in the suitcase. Everything was done properly. After the plane took off, the three of them returned home.They all got up a little too early in the morning, plus it started to rain, therefore, when they got back to the apartment, Summer fell asleep on the couch while Charlotte had slept all the way home in the car itself.Mark wanted to go to work after he took them home. But when he saw them sleeping so soundly, he could not resist the temptation. He also felt tired and sleepy.On the big black bed, the three of them lay together, and only the sound of their breathing echoed in the room. It was quiet and peaceful.…Yvette went to the office, but when she got there, the C
“I know. The teacher says this is being a good wife and good mother. Nowadays many men want to marry this kind of woman,” said the little girl seriously.“I feel the same way. Should I find you another daddy? Your mommy is in such high demand right now, and it should be easy to find one.” She also cooperated with the little girl.Mark’s face grew grimmer and grimmer. He stopped eating, stood up and hoisted Summer onto his shoulder. Summer felt her head spinning, and before she could scream, his big hand smacked loudly against her hips.She was annoyed. Her hair completely covered her face, making her look disheveled. “Put me down!”“Aren’t you going to find her a new daddy? Go ahead then…” As he spoke, his big hand fell on her hips again.His hand was big and strong, and as it fell on her hip, she felt the force, then a tingling pain.“Ah!” Angry, she yelled at him, “Let me down. My head is spinning. I’m dizzy.”Charlotte sat in the chair and looked at them quietly, her short le
Summer smiled. “Just like what you’ve said, I wasn’t brought up well. If there is nothing else, I’m going upstairs.”It was almost impossible to reason with her or try to restore her usual self. She had attempted it previously, but she had now given up.“You swore before your father’s portrait that you will leave my son alone. Unless you want your father to die with regret, you will leave my son immediately and stop your daydreams. Let me tell you, you will never become part of the Valentine family or its daughter-in-law!”It was unnecessary to repeatedly discuss the matter as it had already become a routine.“Since I swore by my father’s name, he would surely forgive me. Because he loved me, he will understand and accept me. Even if he doesn’t, whatever befalls me is mine to bear; it is my sin. You don’t need to worry! Haven’t you heard that it takes two to tango? If your son doesn’t strike when I reach out, nothing would happen. Since you have so much time and energy to face me,
The expression on Mark’s handsome face turned icy cold. “I’ll call Ms. Hart.” Harry quickly pulled out his phone.At that moment, he could tell what Mark needed most; he was very certain that Mark desired Summer’s comfort.“N-No need to call her. Sh-She’ll be there in the afternoon…” he uttered laboriously. “The doctor will be giving me sedatives immediately and put me on IV. Afterward, you send me back to the apartment.”The IV process began after first aid measures were taken care of. By the time he had finished a bottle, she would have also finished work.“But you need someone to care for you!”“When this bottle is finished, send me back to the apartment. Then, return to work.” Although Mark looked pale, he maintained his unwavering authority.Harry knew that Mark did not like hospitals, especially the odor there. Furthermore, it was just IV, and the doctor had said it could also be done at home. Hence, he nodded in acknowledgment.There were three rooms. Harry had no idea wh
But this was a different situation altogether. Whether it was Mark or Summer, the same method would only work once, and not twice.To ensure her peaceful life, Yvette had to get it right once and for all to prevent any aftermath. Besides this approach, she did not have a better idea…Summer suddenly realized she had forgotten her bag the moment she picked up the coat, so she returned to the room to get it.Yvette smiled hideously like a vicious and venomous matron. It was terrifying.She flicked a lighter to ignite a quivering blue flame. The eerie blue flame was flickering and bobbing up and down, looking somewhat peculiar…Summer carried her bag. However, she noticed the bed was untidy, so she stooped forward and rearranged the bedsheet and the pillows. Before she could regain her stance, a high-pitched and nerve-wrecking shriek came.Only Yvette was in the living room. Besides her, there was no one who could possibly be screaming.However, Summer paid no attention to Yvette’s
‘I need to escape. Whether she lives or dies, does it really matter?’Summer stared at her coldly and returned to the room. Yvette was filled with fear and terror. As the fire encircled her, the flames on her dress were ready to engulf her. In the bedroom, Summer undid the bedsheet and quickly fastened it to the window. As the apartment was on the second floor, there was still a way out!Because the bedsheet was too short, she fumbled through the closet for another two. After connecting them together in tight knots, she flung them out of the window.“Ahhh! I’m going to die! I’m really going to die! Mark, Jazz, Mommy is so afraid!” Yvette screamed in horror as though she had lost her mind. Summer was palpitating; sweat broke out on her forehead and flowed downward like a stream.Yvette’s voice echoed as if inside Summer’s head. She tried not to take notice of it, but it kept creeping into her auditory canals.“Mark, Jazz, Mommy is very scared…” she sobbed while begging for her
