When the warden of the women's prison went to check on Donna, who was kept in solitary isolation, the warden was furious. The Arnold family had specifically instructed that they only wanted her to suffer a little in prison, not to have her killed.If the warden had not gone to check on Donna, she might have died.On the fifth day after Donna was admitted to the hospital for treatment and woke up, she had been emotionally unstable and demanded to see Ethan, but Ethan was not someone she could just meet because she wanted to. Everyone there just thought that she was mentally ill.Donna had been reported on television before and many people knew about it, but no one would believe what a person like her said. She was simply being treated as a lunatic.When the superior ordered the subordinate to handle Donna, she was then sent to a mental hospital. She was locked up for five days there.She was tied to the bed, forcibly sedated, and given medication. Her time there had been hell, as w
Donna continued saying, "I was actually framed and sent to this mental hospital. If you lend me your phone, we can do whatever you want. I'll go along with it."If you're worried that I'll see your face, you can blindfold me. I won't say a word about this. And after I get out, you'll get some benefits too."Anthony still did not dare to speak. This time, he gathered the courage to walk back to the bedside. His hands trembled as he stretched his hands to touch her chest.Donna made a seductive sound. She moaned lightly, "Continue...Harder."The desire in his eyes slowly intensified as his movements became even more unrestrained.Once his lust was awakened, it was almost impossible to suppress it.Donna was like a doll being toyed at will. She endured the man's movements on top of her, who was emitting a foul smell.Her blank and emotionless gaze turned fierce and ruthless. She thought, 'Ethan...I'll fight you to the death!'Nearly an hour later, Anthony's actions stopped. He the
The hours of waiting felt longer to Donna than the time she had spent in prison. She was impatient to leave.At long last, it was eleven at night. At this moment, the mental hospital was empty. but the lights in the corridor were still on. The quiet hallway was bathed in an eerie green light. It was extremely dark at the end of the corridor. The sound of water dripping from a faucet in the cold restroom could faintly be heard. The scene was extremely creepy.When the door of Donna's ward was opened, she saw a dark figure quietly walking by. The person threw a car key and a sharp dagger on the floor.Donna wondered, 'How did this mysterious person manage to move so freely in this hospital?'However, her mind was filled with hatred, and she could not care less about it now. After she picked up the items from the floor, she did not hurry to leave. Instead, she sat quietly on the bed, as if waiting for something.At twelve midnight, her door was opened again. Anthony openly walked str
Madelyn wondered, 'What's bothering him?' Slowly, Madelyn figured it out, but she did not bring it up and both of them just remained quiet.When they arrived at the school, Madelyn softly said, "I'll go now. Remember to have your lunch."Ethan responded, "Okay."Madelyn got out of the car. The car, which usually waited for her to enter the school, had already left.She arrived quite early today."Madelyn! Madelyn!" Mya rushed over while clutching her backpack. She was panting. When she got to Madelyn, she asked, "Madelyn, what's wrong? I called your name several times, but you didn't respond. What's going on?"Madelyn answered, "It's nothing."Mya said, "I thought you wouldn't come to school anymore since you got into the art college. I didn't expect someone as outstanding and impressive as you to be even more hardworking than me."Madelyn smiled slightly, "There's nothing wrong with learning more."Her exam results for Ventropolis College of Art had been released two days ago
"Did he really go after Yvonne that fast? For connections with the Young family? Or was it for money? And how is Yvonne now different from before? If he gets his hands on her, she's in big trouble," Madelyn thought.Zach stepped closer, brushing away the loose hair on Madelyn's forehead. "It's been so long. You don't greet me anymore?"Caught off guard, Madelyn could not react. A hint of a smirk appeared on Zach's face. His deep-set eyes showed possessiveness, a hint of wildness — feelings he seemed to hide. But Madelyn saw past his facade. Behind that smile was the real Zach, as dangerous as a wild animal. Taking a step back, she said, "I have things to do. I'll see you later."Mya looked at Madelyn's brother. When their eyes locked, his smile disappeared, turning into a sharp glare. Mya's skin prickled with unease. "Madelyn!" she called, hurrying to catch up. In a hushed voice, she asked, "Is Yvonne dating your brother?"'Is that really any of my business?' Madelyn wondered.Twi
Yvonne was baffled by her own feelings: she had fallen for a much older man despite her status and countless options. Men were falling head over heels to be with her, but Zach had captured her heart like no other. For the first time, she had experienced the pain of rejection. When not around him, her mind was filled with thoughts of him. If she did not keep herself busy, he became all she could focus on. She had hoped she could move on.'Is he into Jadie or Madelyn? Madelyn's set to marry my older brother. If he's really interested in Jadie... But what about the way he gazes at Madelyn? He doesn't look at Jadie like that. Maybe Zach sees Jadie as just family. If Madelyn goes through with the wedding, I might still stand a chance. The Arnold family's influence far outweighs Zach's. No matter Mom's opinion, I have a way of making things happen.'At Arnold Corporation, Leyton debated sharing crucial news with Ethan, worried Ethan might be too soft-hearted. 'With Madelyn's engagement cer
"Forgot who you're working for?" Ethan's voice was icy. Doubt flashed in his eyes, but he was firm in his choice. He knew the consequences of his decision today but felt he had no other option. "She'll get it," he told Leyton, then drove off from the office.Leyton pursed his lips, deep in thought. 'I hope Mr. Arnold doesn't end up regretting this. If Ms. Jent had other options, she might not have chosen to get engaged to him. She's just trying to escape her current situation. With her talent, she made it into Ventropolis College of Art. Someday, when she no longer needs him, he's going to really regret it.'The highway was a mess. There were two wrecked silver cars, but the driver who caused the crash was nowhere to be found. A police officer said, "Mr. Arnold, by the time we arrived, one of the cars had already exploded."Ethan, with wild eyes, grabbed the officer by the collar. "Who told you to chase her?"Other officers quickly stepped in to break them apart. One of them said,
Donna already knew the answer.An hour and a half later, the villa's front door swung open. The code? Her birthday.'See, he still remembers.'Upon seeing Donna, Ethan was filled with fury. But as he noticed the scars on her face and arms, along with the clothes from the psychiatric ward she was wearing, his anger slowly faded. He stared at her with a troubled look. "Who got you out of prison? I don't have time for your games."Ethan was about to leave when Donna's voice, filled with hysteria, halted him. "I was imprisoned because of a comment you made! Do you realize the torment I endured? They held me down, cutting me with sharp blades, leaving marks all over my arms and body. They labeled me as delusional, shameless, and so much worse!"After I said, 'We used to be together,' they turned against me. Everyone acted like they could push me around. I was brutally attacked, almost killed. If someone hadn't found me in the nick of time and put me in a mental hospital, I'd be gone by
