Bar

The pounding music is deafening, and the dance floor is bathed in dazzling lights as young men and women wildly sway to the rhythm.

Scarlett White sits in a corner booth, drinking one glass after another.

Suddenly, her wrist is grabbed, and the glass in her hand is taken away.

Scarlett White turns her head and sees the flushed face of the person, wearing a glamorous yellow straight skirt with a high-end fur coat draped over it. With golden long leather gloves held in both hands, and long curls gathered to one side, she sits elegantly across from Scarlett White, exuding an air of sophistication.

"Aren't you supposed to be at the party? Why are you here?" Amy Bond asks, her alcohol-flushed face breaking into a playful smile.

Scarlett White gazes at the discarded glass Amy Bond put aside and smirks, "This time, it's a female celebrity."

"Don't cry foul with that gloomy face! You're just torturing yourself. It's been five years and you still won't give up!" Amy Bond scolds, staring at Scarlett White.

"So, it's been five years..." Scarlett White murmurs, as if answering Amy Bond, but more like talking to herself.

"Yes, five years!" Amy Bond adds insult to injury, "Congratulations on being a living widow for five years."

Scarlett White grabs the bottle on the table and chugs it down.

The burning sensation of the liquor makes tears well up in her eyes. "Cough, cough!"

"Enough!" Amy Bond can't bear to watch and takes the bottle away.

"Amy, do you think I'm despicable too? Knowing that he has changed, yet standing there like an idiot, thinking that he'll come back one day, foolishly believing that his actions are just to retaliate against me."

Amy Bond looks at Scarlett White silently crying with her knees hugged, feeling a twinge of pain in her heart.

"If you care so much about him, why not tell him everything about that year? What are you two now? Riding the trend of hidden marriage? He's a wealthy eligible bachelor, and you, a virtuous wife, helping him pick up girls, flirt, and be filial to elders?"

"I can't say," Scarlett White blinks her eyes and mutters, "I promised them..."

Watching her in this state, Amy Bond is both angry and heartbroken. She gets up to settle the bill, and when she returns, Scarlett White has already fallen asleep.

"Fool," Amy Bond sighs, "Even after death, why are you still guarding this secret?"

...

After putting the drunken Scarlett White into the car, Amy Bond's phone rings cheerfully.

"Level one alert, your high ground is about to be occupied by the enemy, please reply upon receipt!"

Listening to the elevated screams from the other end, Amy Bond rubs her ear, "Matthew Qin, speak in plain language!"

"... Your buddy is cozying up with a Chinese girl in a suite at the Marriott Hotel."

"Are you sure in the middle of the night?"

"If I'm wrong, you can chop off my head and use it as a soccer ball."

Amy Bond glances at Scarlett White lying motionless, torn between catching the cheaters and taking care of her drunk friend.

"So, are you coming or not? If not, I'm leaving."

"Go, of course, go! Let me see how I handle that pair of cheaters!"

-----

Marriott Hotel entrance

Amy Bond had just opened the car door when a pink figure rushed towards her.

"Lady, if you don't hurry, the show will be over!"

Amy Bond gave Matthew Qin, who was dressed flamboyantly, a kick. "Lower your voice; Scarlett White is sleeping!"

"Scarlett White is here too?" Matthew Qin turned his head and saw Scarlett White sitting in the passenger seat. She was wearing a red deep V-neck dress with black hair cascading down, creating a stark visual contrast with her fair skin. Even someone like him, accustomed to the world of glamour, couldn't help feeling a bit fascinated.

Amy Bond swatted away Matthew Qin's wandering hands from Scarlett White's face. "Since when did you start liking women?"

Matthew Qin awkwardly scratched his nose and changed the subject, "Who hurt her this time?"

"What do you think?" Amy Bond shot him a look. "In this world, besides Neil Davis, who else has that kind of power?"

"Ah, when it comes to our lady friend, every day's drama could make it to Us Weekly."

Amy Bond pushed him away. "Enough of your nonsense. Did you really see my husband?"

"Could it be fake?" Matthew Qin's eyes widened, and he pointed to the hotel behind them. "That sexy bald guy isn't someone anyone can portray so vividly. If you don't believe me, let's rush up and catch him off guard!"

Staring at Matthew Qin, who seemed quite confident, Amy Bond hesitated between exposing the affair and taking care of her drunken friend.

"Lead the way!"

...

Scarlett White had a dream, or so she thought—it felt so real. In a moment of realization, she remembered it was six years ago at dusk...

An unfamiliar villa, unfamiliar people.

She walked into the study and saw a woman rising from the sofa—very beautiful, with deep brown long curls, elegant in speech and demeanor, the typical wealthy housewife.

"Martin, my secretary, should have informed you of the situation."

The woman smiled warmly, "Don't worry; I've arranged everything. During this time, you will go abroad."

Outside the villa, a car horn suddenly sounded.

The woman looked surprised and quickly told Scarlett White, "My husband is here. Don't let him see you..."

In the stairwell, the steady footsteps of a man approached.

"It's too late; go hide behind the bookshelf."

Scarlett White had just hidden behind the bookshelf when the study door opened. The light was dim, and a stretched-out figure moved on the floor.

The woman had already walked up to him, "Honey, why are you here?"

"I left some documents here last time." A very deep, magnetic voice, filled with the mature charm of a man.

Scarlett White breathed lightly, fearing any outside observer would notice.

The scene suddenly shifted in the dream. She walked out of a hospital, and a secretary-like young man greeted her.

"Was it successful this time?"

Scarlett White nodded, thinking of the cold machine just now, holding her stomach. "You promised me..."

"Don't worry, Miss White. The lady said she would keep her promise until you give birth."

Scarlett White bit her lip. "Mr. Martin, I haven't contacted my family for four months..."

Secretary Martin understood her thoughts but could only say, "Miss White, you promised initially—before giving birth."

"I know, but I..."

"Sorry, Miss White."

The scene shifted again. She lay on a hospital bed, caressing her prominently protruding belly. Her phone rang; she answered, and it was Secretary Martin calling.

"Miss White, I hope you're mentally prepared for what I'm about to say... Today, the lady planned to meet you after returning from a business trip to Thailand. However, just now, the international flight she was on malfunctioned and crashed, and there were no survivors among the passengers. So..."

    The scene shifted again, and she found herself lying in the delivery room, hands clutching the bedsheets, covered in sweat, enduring unbearable pain as if something was about to burst beneath her."Come on, follow my lead, breathe in, breathe in, and then push!" The doctor encouraged gently.Scarlett White bit her lip, gasping heavily. The exquisite features on her face twisted into a grimace due to the intense pain. "Ah!""Hold on! I can see the baby's head!""Ugh..." Scarlett White gritted her teeth, a painful groan swallowed in her throat as she pushed with all her might."It's out! The baby's head is out... it's a boy!"The cry of a newborn shattered the tense atmosphere in the delivery room. "Wow!"Sweat soaked Scarlett White's forehead, and she had almost exhausted all her strength. Her heavy eyelids drooped, and her breaths were rapid.Suddenly, the door of the delivery room swung open."Excuse me, I'm Mr. Wilson's assistant. Please hand the baby over to me."Scarlett White's h

    In the midst of conversation, she seized the opportunity to make a move, causing Dylan R. Wilson to furrow his brow. As he attempted to push her away, she managed to pull him down beside her.Restless, one of her hands, in a daring move, found its way into the towel around him...In the next moment, Dylan R. Wilson's expression became inscrutable as he tightened his grip on the bedsheet beneath him, forming a fist.He stared fixedly at the disheveled woman, his eyes reflecting a mix of disdain, disgust, indifference, yet a hint of burning passion. His deep, husky voice changed to a gritted teeth tone, "You shameless...”Even as he tried to restrain himself, he keenly felt the changes in his own body.Scarlett White felt a whirlwind as Dylan R. Wilson now loomed over her. Somehow, the towel had been discarded to the side.Just as he bent down, the room's door was kicked open with a resounding "bang!""Don't move, police!"-----"I wouldn't dare to report it without seeing clearly!

    At the police station entrance, a man emerged, surrounded by a crowd.Dressed in a white shirt with a black suit, topped with a camel-colored coat, his handsome face reflected in the morning light, accentuating his features. He pursed his thin lips, descending the steps with an air of icy nobility that shook the depths of people's souls.Even Amy Bond, who had seen countless beauties, couldn't help but exclaim, "At this age, with this appearance, and such grace, he's exceptional!""More than exceptional...He's godlike!" Matthew Qin's eyes sparkled as he spoke.Scarlett White, watching the man who was the center of attention, furrowed her brows slightly. Where had she seen him before?"But... why do I feel like this god is somewhat familiar?" Matthew Qin bit his lip, and in the next moment, with a strange expression, he looked at Amy Bond beside him. "He seems to be...""The one with the bath towel..." Amy Bond gestured vividly, her expression full of excitement."Which one?" Scarlett

    "Sometimes, certain misunderstandings become insurmountable obstacles in love."After summarizing her advice, Amy Bond left Scarlett White by the roadside.She claimed it was for Scarlett to make her own choice: to salvage this replationship or watch Neil Davis drift away?Standing at the bustling intersection, Scarlett White clutched her briefcase, emotions swirling within.After a while, her eyes, tired from staring at the traffic lights, shifted away. She took out her phone, dialed home, and the maid answered. Scarlett White remained silent for a moment before asking, "Is Neil at home?""The young master isn't with you, is he?" the maid replied.Recalling the lie she told Mrs. Davis earlier, Scarlett White hastily said, "Oh, we just went our separate ways.""Well, I haven't seen the young master since yesterday afternoon.""Alright, I'll try calling his phone."Scarlett White hung up without immediately calling Neil Davis. Instead, she stood in place for a while, then flagged down

    "What are you doing, fidgeting around? Slow down... Ouch!"Scarlett White dragged her aunt's arm and walked quite a distance away from the Davis Mansion's gate before letting go.Her uncle followed, grumbling as he chased after them.Over the years, Scarlett White had seen through the true colors of this couple. She turned away with a cold face, ready to leave.Aunt quickly blocked Scarlett White's path, "The matter hasn't been resolved yet. Where are you going?"The sharp voices clashed with the luxurious atmosphere of the community."I've told you many times not to come to Davis Mansion and disturb them.""Is this how you talk to your elders?" Uncle roared loudly, almost startling birds on the tree branches. He rolled up his sleeves, hands on his hips, pointing at Scarlett White's nose, "You ungrateful girl, now that you're successful, you forget where you came from?"Aunt raised her head, eyeing the grand gate of the Davis Mansion, unable to hide the envy and greed in her eyes.

    The lady leaned against the car door and whistled, "Hey handsome, isn't it just five minutes? I've been waiting!"Scarlett White's fingertips embedded into her own palm, the pain making her temporarily forget the ache in her heart."Let go of me!" She reached out to push him away.However, Neil Davis grabbed her shoulder and forcefully dragged her to the corner."Who were you with last night?"Scarlett White met his cold and sharp gaze, self-mockingly smiling, "So, you still have time to care about me?""Someone saw you coming out of the police station this morning...""A man." Scarlett White interrupted him, her tone indifferent. "I was with a man last night."Neil Davis's face immediately darkened, and the grip on her shoulder gradually tightened, as if he wanted to crush it, "Who was it?""Anyway, you don't care, right?"Seeing his eyes turn crimson as he stared at her, Scarlett White finally felt a sense of relief from the discomfort. It was like a gratification after revenge. She

    When Scarlett White looks the most beautiful is undoubtedly the moment she lowers her eyelashes and smiles gently. Fifteen-year-old Scarlett White, in her school uniform, holding a violin, stands on the tree-lined path. Her slender and delicate body, jet-black long hair, and clean skin so fair it seems to have a pearl-like luster in the sunlight, with no visible pores. She looks at him from a distance, shyly and quietly smiling, with shallow dimples on her cheeks. Over the past five years, in countless midnight dreams, Neil Davis has awakened to find himself surrounded by naked women with heavy makeup in bed. He doesn't experience physical satisfaction; instead, there's only a sense of emptiness and a growing resentment. That innocent girl, Scarlett White, has long since become tainted, dirty to the point where he wishes he could strangle her with his own hands! Yet, he is unwilling to divorce. Yes, unwilling. Even though he despises touching her, he cannot let her go. If Scarle

    Many lovers, after the tempering of the necessities of life, become resentful partners.Scarlett White believes that she and Neil Davis belong to the kind who have already despised each other before they even start to be affectionate. The years of their relationship feel like a tasteless chicken rib to her – neither enjoyable nor easy to give up."Finally got through the morning, Scarlett, let's have lunch together!"Cherry, another executive assistant, closed a folder and called out to Scarlett.Scarlett gathered her wandering thoughts, tidied up a bit, and went to the restaurant with Cherry.During lunchtime, many employees were dining in the restaurant.Just as Scarlett White and Cherry sat down in a corner, a small commotion occurred at the restaurant entrance."Who's the new employee from which department, so beautiful?"The surprised voices of nearby employees also made Scarlett White look up.When she saw Lily White standing at the entrance, she couldn't fake her astonishment,
