Ronan went to Majestic Crest Villa.Upon seeing him, Lyra immediately became defensive, shielding her stomach and glaring at him as if he were an enemy."Lyra, have you made up your mind?" he asked with a stern expression."Get lost!"Lyra grabbed a cup from the table and threw it fiercely. "I will never let you touch my child unless I'm dead!"Ronan didn't dodge; he didn't even blink. This was what he owed Lyra, and he deserved it.The cup hit his forehead, breaking the skin, and soon blood started oozing, staining his eyebrow.As Lyra looked at the blood streak on his cheek, her eyes welled up with tears.In that moment of fury, she had used almost all her strength.For a brief moment, she wished she could just kill him with that throw.Something was flickering in Ronan's eyes, but when he looked at Lyra, he resumed a calm demeanor, with a hint of mocking smile at the corner of his mouth."If you want a c
Ronan, the CEO, had just recently made headlines for his exploits with a female celebrity, and now he was back in the spotlight.Excited netizens analyzed the situation, suggesting that Ronan's numerous affairs were a way to distract from some inadequacy.Others speculated that Ronan's prowess had diminished due to his excessive womanizing.However, there were still devoted fans expressing their willingness to endure even a three-minute encounter with Ronan.With his wealth and good looks, Ronan remained an object of passionate fantasies, even if only for three minutes.The topic of the "three-minute CEO" quickly gained over a billion discussions in just one morning.ZenithVentures' phone lines turned into hotlines that day, flooded with all sorts of calls - condolences, confirmations, mockery...The most infuriating was a health supplement company calling, claiming to have developed a package tailored for Ronan's situation. They hope
She kept stealing glances at the man beside her, her gaze becoming admiring and infatuated.The car pulled up at Majestic Crest Villa.Ronan didn't say a word, as if he hadn't noticed Ella at all. He got out of the car without acknowledging her presence.After a moment of hesitation, Ella followed suit, getting out of the car and jogging to catch up.The house was beautiful, but why were there two tall bodyguards standing at the entrance?With a sense of confusion, Ella followed Ronan inside.Ronan scanned the surroundings with his eyes, not spotting Lyra.He sat on the sofa, pulling at his tie, his eyes growing ominously cold.Ella pursed her lips and, summoning courage, approached him.As she reached Ronan, his gaze shot towards her like an icy blade, freezing her in place.Unfortunately, she had already stepped forward with her left foot, unable to brake in time. Tripping over her own feet, she awkwardly fell o
The doctor excitedly said, "Miss Cordelia is saved!"In a surgery room at the Mayo Medical Center, two surgeries were being conducted simultaneously. Lyra, seven months pregnant, had gone into premature labor due to stress. On the other side, Cordelia Locke's white blood cells had been destroyed, awaiting the bone marrow transplant.The gears of fate began turning, and everything unfolded according to a predetermined course.The surgeries had already started and couldn't be halted; otherwise, both women would risk their lives.Ronan stood outside the surgery room, his ten fingers deeply embedded in his black hair. This moment felt excruciatingly unbearable for him as if a lifetime of time had never been so agonizing.Neither of the two women could have any mishap; he wanted them both to live well.As the surgeries would take a long time, Ronan leaned against the wall, continuously smoking, attempting to calm his tumultuous emotions.A
He slumped into the corner and closed his eyes in anguish.The old man walked over, speaking in a deep voice, "Go inform the doctor that the pregnant woman and the child must not be in danger."The nurse nodded, closing the door to the surgery room again.The old man looked at Ronan and said coldly, "I know what you're thinking. When you married Lyra, you didn't love her at all.""I just couldn't be bothered with your affairs, but I didn't expect that it would harm Lyra. She's a good girl, and you've truly messed up this time!"The old man sighed, "I thought you would change after Lyra got pregnant, but I didn't expect you to become even more ruthless. For those dubious women outside, you've jeopardized Lyra's life..."Ronan did not explain.He had no right to explain anything.Wrong is wrong.Bringing a woman back to Majestic Crest Villa was the reason for Lyra's premature birth.Forcibly conducting a bone marrow
He had lived for over twenty years, and except for the time when his parents died in a car accident, this was the second time in his life he experienced such a desperate panic.His life had always been firmly under his control, well-organized, without any errors.Ronan confidently believed he could handle everything, but when he saw Lyra on the brink of death in the operating room, he realized how wrong he was.Lyra, this woman who entered his life, disrupted all his plans and caught him off guard.It made everything chaotic, slipping out of control, and he didn't know what he had done.And now, he had no idea what to do.He had made a grave mistake.He hadn't anticipated that the doctors would think he didn't care about Lyra, so they concealed the dangers of the surgery.Ronan suddenly realized with dread, what if Lyra died?He had never thought about losing Lyra.A chilling sensation from the depths of his being
Ronan heard Lyra's painful curses again."I curse you! You'll never get the one you truly love in your entire life! I want you to be heartbroken, to yearn and not obtain!"Muttering to himself, Ronan said, "Lyra, your curse has come true."If it weren't for the old master, Ronan might have long forgotten about his son."Lyra is no longer here. If you don't want this child, I will help you raise him. After all, he is the heir of the Vale family," the old master said regretfully, looking at the baby in the incubator.Ronan's gaze fell on the baby.He frowned.So small, so fragile.Is this his and Lyra's child?He couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart, subconsciously feeling some rejection towards the child.If it weren't for this child, maybe Lyra wouldn't have died.No, what right did he have to blame the child?It was his fault..."I'll take care of him myself," Ronan said firmly.
She worked hard to improve herself and become a qualified heiress.Ronan's heart ached dullly.He had never known that Lyra had done so much for him.His slender fingers continued to flip through the diary."Ronan, you're so filthy! I regret falling in love with you!"Ronan's heart twitched, but he continued reading."Today, Ronan brought a female celebrity home. He's so filthy!""I finally realized that my two years of waiting were nothing but weakness. Because I didn't dare bravely find him, didn't dare face the scenes of him with other women.""I've always hidden in my turtle shell. Now I've decided to bravely step out.""He finally noticed me, but he didn't even know who I was, treating me like a girl from outside, flirtatiously. Several times, I wanted to tell him that I was his wife. But in the end, I didn't say it because it was no longer necessary.""Today, he almost had his way with me. I was so scared, a
“Mia, do you want to go camping with us?” Matthew looked at her expectantly.Lyra pursed her lips, unable to refuse him."Sure, I'll go with you," she agreed."Great, we can go camping!" Matthew cheered.Matthew was ecstatic, lying on Lyra's chest and refusing to get up.His little head kept rubbing against her, and his innocent and cute voice said, "Mia, I haven't taken a bath today..."Lyra's heart melted as she carried Matthew to the bathroom, helped him bathe, and even used cotton swabs and a nail file to clean his ears.Matthew comfortably lay on Lyra's lap, chubby hands poking at her soft chest, enjoying her help in cleaning his ears.Having a wife is nice!Unlike Dad, who doesn't have a wife and wears a constipated expression every day.Seeing his adorable face, Lyra couldn't help but kiss his cheek.The little guy blushed."Matthew, do you like your dad?" Lyra asked tentatively.She and Ronan were not possible anymore. In the future, she would have to fight for Matthew's custo
Today he has already taken her several times, and if he takes her again, he's afraid her body won't be able to handle it.Adjusting his breath, Ronan leaned against Lyra's ear, still panting slightly."The account for today's deeds is temporarily unpaid, but I'll collect it from you later."His cool lips left a mark, capturing her sweet scent, and his large hand uncontrollably climbed under the covers.This woman had a kind of irresistible charm.Even her breathing seemed to tempt him, turning him into a beast, always wanting to take action against her, completely out of control.Ronan had never experienced anything like this with any woman before.As the CEO of Zenith Ventures, Ronan was never short of women around him; to say beautiful women were abundant would be an understatement.Celebrities, aristocratic ladies, ladies from noble families...But none of them, like Lyra, could provoke his desires so easily.Five years ago, he knew that her body was made for him, perfectly fitting
He forcefully shut off the shower, while Lyra reached out to turn it back on.Ronan firmly grasped her hand, his anger on the brink of eruption, each word squeezed out through his teeth, "Lyra, you better not provoke me again!"Lyra slowly turned her head, glancing at Ronan.She stood there, motionless, like a statue, her eyes empty.After a while, Lyra blankly looked up and noticed that there was no more water coming out of the shower.She reached out, wanting to turn it back on.Ronan's voice was as cold as his expression, "If you don't stop, I'll immediately send the video to your lover!"At his words, Lyra's whole body tensed, halting her attempt to turn the switch."Come here!" Ronan ordered coldly.Lyra's body felt heavy as if it were filled with lead, she forced herself to walk towards Ronan.One step, two steps... she almost exhausted all her strength, finally reaching him."Think I'm dirty? Huh?" Ronan pinched her chin, his eyes wild.In the past five years, he hadn't touched
"If you don't comply..." Ronan's voice trailed off, deliberately leaving the threat unsaid, his intentions clear.Lyra's lips quivered fiercely in response.Ronan was satisfied with her reaction and spoke with a smirk, "It's no big deal to show him, anyway. You're my wife, we've rolled in the sheets countless times, he knows it all.""I promise you," Lyra gritted her teeth, "I promise you, but you can't let him see the video."Suddenly, Ronan felt as if something had lodged in his chest. Lyra cared about Torin so much!Despite having the upper hand, Ronan felt utterly shattered."Since you've promised, show me your sincerity, this time it's your initiative," Ronan's voice echoed seductively in her ears.Lyra's chest trembled as she looked at him incredulously.This beastly man, she wished she could just stab him to death!But she also knew she couldn't fight this man right now.He held her weakness in his hands.Lyra mockingly tugged at her lip, slowly moving her body.Her legs ached
She reached for the bedside table lamp, but her wrist was easily caught by him. He sneered, "Do you think I'll give you a chance to smash my head?" "Get out! Get out!" Lyra's eyes turned red as if she had gone mad. But her strength couldn't match Ronan's. He was like a spider in a web, trapping Lyra tightly, leaving her with no chance of escape. For the first time, Lyra felt the immense disparity in strength between a man and a woman. She was no match for Ronan at all. Gasping for air heavily, Lyra struggled to sit up again, but Ronan forcefully pressed her back down. Lyra's body was being torn apart incessantly, and she almost thought she would be tortured to death. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face. After what seemed like an eternity, the brutal abuse finally ceased. Ronan lay atop her, his breath thick and heavy. Lyra lay there like a lifeless puppet, her eyes hollow with despair, tears lingering at the corners. Her body was covered in red marks, bearing the tr
!Lyra was stunned by his shameless words and promptly turned away, ignoring him. Ronan's cheek became thicker and thicker, and he seemed to have no shame. Even though Lyra ignored him, he didn't get angry, continuing to gaze at her. Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Lyra suddenly saw Matthew sitting up, rubbing his eyes, and jumping off the bed. Lyra quickly asked, "Matthew, what's wrong?" Still half-asleep, Matthew's tender voice murmured, "I need to pee." "I'll take you." Lyra, not knowing how to avoid Ronan, offered. With his eyes closed, Matthew replied with a sleepy "mm." Just as Lyra was about to take him to the bathroom, Ronan suddenly picked up their son, his deep, melodious voice saying, "I'll take him." As the father and son left, Lyra suddenly felt it was a perfect opportunity and quietly left the children's room, heading to her guest room. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lyra felt extremely nervous, feeling that Ronan had malicious intentions. But now that s
Lyra turned her head and found Matthew already running into room 2016, her brow furrowed, and she hurriedly followed.In the room, Matthew climbed onto the bed, continuously pushing Ronan with his hands, shouting anxiously, "Daddy! Daddy!"Ronan lay on the bed dressed neatly, luckily they arrived in time; it seemed that Cordelia Locke hadn't succeeded.Matthew's pushing and shouting didn't elicit any response from Ronan, and he became increasingly worried, his little face scrunching up, on the verge of tears, as he cried out, "Mommy, mommy! Has daddy gone away?"Matthew's crying tugged at Lyra's heartstrings, her own heart pounding hard in her chest.Had Ronan...?She forced herself to calm down, walking over to Ronan's side and placing her hand gently on his attractive, steady nose.Thankfully!He was still breathing!It seemed he was just knocked unconscious.Lyra quickly took out her phone and dialed 911, simultaneously calling the hotel's room service to send someone over immediat
Even though Ronan was dressed neatly and lay quietly like a wooden man without giving any response, resembling a sleeping beauty.Cordelia Locke still couldn't resist his charm and excitedly straddled him, involuntarily moaning."Mmm... Ronan... so good..."Suddenly, someone outside the door started frantically ringing the doorbell.Cordelia Locke, who was immersed in excitement, was interrupted by the sudden ringing, making her very unhappy.Originally, she didn't want to pay attention and pretended there was no one in the room.But then she considered that if it was a room service attendant who saw no one inside, they might just swipe their card to enter.So she decided to send away the person outside first, and then come back to enjoy Ronan's body.The person outside suddenly changed tactics and began pounding on the door with their hands.Startled by the unexpected noise, Cordelia Locke hugged the towel around her and cautiously walked to the door, peering outside through the peep
Finally, the car arrived at the Grandeur Gala Hub clubhouse after twenty minutes. Lyra and Matthew approached the entrance but were stopped by a doorman. "I'm sorry, this is an exclusive private club. Only members are allowed inside," the doorman said, blocking their way. Lyra hurriedly explained, "We're here to find someone." "Even if you're looking for someone, you can't come in. Why don't you call your friend and have them come out to meet you?" the doorman refused to let them in. "What's a member?" Matthew asked, his little brows furrowing. The doorman glanced at him. Although he was just a child, his demeanor and attire were extraordinary, so the doorman politely replied: "A member is a VIP member who needs to pay an annual fee of one million." Lyra gasped, calculating the balance in her bank account. But no matter how she calculated, it was not enough. She hesitated, remembering that Torin had given her a card before, but she had never used it. Should she take it out n
