Lyra was taken aback, surprised that he came to the Everly Family for her.

Ronan had already picked up that set of revealing lingerie with his slender, attractive fingers, looking at her with a half-smile, half-expectant expression.

With a twinkle in her eye, Lyra smiled, "Sorry, it's that time of the month. Did you forget?"

"Damn it!" Ronan's face darkened instantly.

Today was the first day of her menstrual cycle; they couldn't engage in such activities.

How could he forget in the heat of the moment?

Ronan, full of anger, stood up and stormed into the bathroom, slamming the door in frustration.

Lyra chuckled at seeing him flustered.

"Lyra," someone knocked on the door.

Lyra walked over and opened it, frowning, "Auntie, what's up?"

"Drink this glass of milk before you go to bed. I prepared it especially for you," Rowena Winters pretended to be affectionate.

"Thank you," Lyra accepted the milk.

"You and Ronan should get along well!" Rowena Winters said, glancing inside as she spoke.

    Ronan waved the red wine in his hand, casting a cold, eerie glance over at Lyra.Lyra stood there, frozen like a child caught doing something wrong.Ronan put his legs in front of her and calmly said, "I've been looking for you all day, legs are numb from exhaustion, give them a massage."Lyra clenched her fists tightly, nails digging into her palms, just to keep herself from going numb.Ronan's deep black eyes gazed at her, and he casually said to Zane, the butler, "Leave Apollo, everyone else scram."All the servants scurried away.In the spacious living room, only Ronan, Lyra, and the Tibetan Mastiff named Apollo remained.Apollo was well-trained, even without someone holding its leash, it stood perfectly still, maintaining its position.Without its owner's command, it could stand like this all day without making any aggressive moves.However, its crimson eyes were fixed on Lyra, making her tremble all over."What’s wrong?

    He secretly thought that as long as Lyra was willing to apologize and bow down to him, he could let things go. But this darn woman, she remained obstinate, single-minded about leaving him. So many women cried and begged to stay by his side, even if just as lovers. Yet, she didn't care one bit about being Ronan's wife.Suddenly, the assistant shouted, “Mr. Ronan, Madam Lyra collapsed!” Ronan was taken aback, but his body reacted before his mind. As the assistant finished speaking, he darted out like a gust of wind, with the assistant quickly following, carrying an umbrella.Lyra, clad in a white hospital gown, lay softly on the ground. Ronan had been about to approach when he abruptly halted. The assistant, hesitating for a moment, rushed ahead and held the umbrella over Lyra, calling out, “Madam, wake up!”It took a great effort for Lyra to slowly open her heavy eyelids. The assistant breathed a sigh of relief, holding the umbrella over her and softly advising, “Madam, won't you apolo

    Ronan's eyes darkened, his gaze falling on Lyra's face as if nothing had happened. He smirked, "If you're hot, then take it off!"The nurse smiled, her hands hooking around Ronan's neck.Lyra continued to stare at the TV show, but her fingers, hidden beneath the blanket, had clenched, turning gradually pale.She desperately suppressed her emotions, trying not to jump up and attack this despicable couple.The woman noticed Ronan's continuous stare at Lyra and pretended to be shy, saying, "Mr. Ronan, Miss Lyra is still here, and she might feel a bit scared..."The woman emitted a coquettish voice that made one's heart race and face blush, sounding so tender and sweet it could make one's bones melt."You want to do something, do it outside, don't disturb me while I'm watching TV!" Lyra suddenly said.Ronan's smile froze at the corner of his mouth.Did Lyra truly not care about him?Even if he behaved like this with other women in front of her, was she completely indifferent?A surge of

    She took a deep breath and calmly said, "Zane, there are rumors outside that Ronan will divorce me sooner or later. Therefore, it seems I am just a decoration as the wife."Zane wiped his sweat, repeatedly saying, "Who dares to gossip! It's obvious that Master cares the most for Madam!"Lyra played with her nails and casually said, "Even if Ronan has many other women outside, I'm the wife in this house. I should be in charge, right?""Of course," Zane quickly agreed.Lesser Wife: Lyra was given the authority by Ronan to manage the Emperor's Pavilion."If these people are all old-timers, and they've all seen me make a fool of myself, I'm not satisfied with any of them," Lyra raised an eyebrow. "If you can't do it, you don't need to stay!"This was Ronan giving her the power to manage the Emperor's Pavilion. If he was willing to let her do it, why wouldn't she use it well?"I'll take care of it immediately!" Zane immediately arranged for several batches of people to be replaced for Lyra

    Aurelia told Lyra, "I've figured out everything about the security system here and the shift timings. I've made arrangements with Torin, and tonight is the perfect time to escape.""Tonight?" Lyra widened her eyes, then immediately covered her mouth, vigilantly scanning her surroundings.Aurelia handed a capsule-shaped pill to Lyra. "Put this pill into Ronan's bathwater. It'll ensure he sleeps for two hours."She then produced a tiny white pill. "This is the antidote. Take it first so that you don't get affected too.""We're going to drug Ronan?" Lyra asked nervously. She had never considered harming Ronan, even in her plans to escape."Ronan is too vigilant. All his food is thoroughly checked. It's impossible to drug his food. This capsule is cutting-edge technology, dissolving upon contact with water. It'll go unnoticed in the bathtub, and he won't have a clue," Aurelia explained triumphantly."Is it dangerous?" Lyra bit her lip.Aurelia chuckled, "You seem to care about him, huh?"

    "When I have everything sorted out, will you accompany me?"Lyra lowered her gaze slightly. "I... don't deserve this from you.""Silly," he said gently, "Your problems are my problems. Didn't we agree that you'd try to like me?"Torin lightly traced her face with his fingers, his dark, deep eyes reflecting only her."I like you, regardless of your past. I'll help you with your divorce from Ronan.""I'm not worthy of you," her eyes glistened with moisture."Lyra," he softly called her name, "don't reject me, try to like me, okay?"Torin, as if bewitching her, leaned in slowly. His warm breath fell on her skin, making her shiver.Just as his lips were about to touch hers, Lyra instinctively turned away."I'm sorry, I..." She didn't understand her actions. She liked Torin, felt very fond of him, and he had done so much for her. But when he got too close, she couldn't help but resist."It's alright," he smiled somewhat forlornly, "We have plenty of time ahead of us."After their stroll, t

    The next day, as soon as Lyra descended the stairs, she saw Ronan sitting elegantly at the dining table, having his meal.Given her escape and the argument from the previous night, she didn't expect Ronan to be in a good mood.To her surprise, as soon as he spotted her, he flashed a captivating smile. "Good morning, wife!"The affectionate address sent shivers down Lyra's spine. This man's unpredictable behavior made her think: was he just bipolar?As Lyra approached, Ronan set down the newspaper and casually stated, "I gave Orion Everly two million today.""What!" Lyra was momentarily stunned.Ronan continued, "Since our marriage, how much money do you think Orion Everly has taken from me? Have you kept track?"His words were a resounding slap to Lyra's face. She now understood why Orion Everly was so keen on her maintaining her position as Ronan's wife – Ronan was essentially a cash machine for him.Lyra remained speechless, her brow furrowed in thought. She hadn't realized the exte

    “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
