At the hospital, the doctor did not even have time to scold Nick before preparing to give me an injection to prevent miscarriage. I stopped the doctor and stared at Nick to show him my resolve. "What are you waiting for? I told you not to get too emotional! Do you not want the baby anymore? If you
Nick lunged forward and gripped the doctor's white coat collar tightly. "What did you say? Say it again!" The doctor sighed before repeating helplessly, "My condolences." Nick's hands shook, his throat tightening. He wanted to question further, but words were stuck in his chest, unable to be spoke
I was shocked when I pushed open the operating room door. The man who always stood undefeated was now pinned to the ground by strangers. Seeing Nick struggling desperately and gasping for air, tears unexpectedly spilled from my eyes. Nick and I had finally come to this. Nick finally noticed me. Ou
I had no time to recover. Today was the day of my divorce from Nick and also the day to wrap up all our plans. The unexpected hospital visit made things more rushed, but it did not affect the final outcome. Laying alone in the hospital bed, I drifted in and out of sleep. As dawn broke, I was jolted
My face darkened immediately. If I had not heard what Frances said, I might have enjoyed watching how she and Claudia turned against each other. But how could they do such a thing? Claudia should know what Daniel meant to Nick. Did she not love Nick? How could she bear to see him go through the pai
It had been a while since I last came to the police station. The humiliation I once suffered remained vivid. I had never forgotten how my fingers were cut and how my hair was snipped. But thankfully, the perpetrators would eventually face justice, and the story was bound to have a happy ending. Th
Even the glaring fluorescent lights above couldn't illuminate a person's heart.As the relevant authorities would investigate the incident, the truth would eventually be revealed. It might come late, but it wouldn't be twisted by those with ill intentions. Claudia had gone mad just like Frances sai
A series of questions flooded my mind. At that moment, I felt like my breathing had gone erratic. Doubt and confusion washed over me as I pondered. Should I act indifferent, or should I at least seek out the truth?Frances immediately noticed the shift in my expression. She knew about Nicholas' ill
The crowd was gripped by terror, some clutching their heads and scattering in panic. Seeing the commotion, the bodyguards fired two shots into the ceiling.Nelson, emboldened, began to struggle fiercely, and Leo started losing control of him.Despite his injuries, Leo gritted his teeth, snatched the
I could hardly believe it—something even Neal couldn't achieve, Nicholas managed effortlessly. The evidence against Nelson was laid bare for everyone to see.I stared coldly at Nelson, already envisioning his inevitable downfall.It turned out that beyond his flesh trade, he had also ventured into t
The auction hall's large screen flickered, casting an unsettling light and filling the room with a sense of dread. The once-curious crowd now stared wide-eyed, frightened by Claudia's eerie smile and the sinister laughter echoing from the speakers.Nicholas spread his coat wide and wrapped me tightl
Nelson stumbled to the front of the stage, grabbed the microphone from the host, and shouted loudly, "Today's auction is canceled! Canceled!"Nicholas stood up calmly and said, "Since there was a bid, and my bid complies with the rules, this land is already mine! There's no justification for canceli
The auctioneer initially thought starting the bid at zero would ignite a frenzy in the auction room, given that this was a plot of land worth over 100 million dollars.But the moment he announced the starting price, the entire venue fell into an eerie silence.With Nicholas present, no one dared to
On our way back, Leo was still standing beside Yasmine. When he saw us approaching, he surprisingly nodded at both me and Nicholas—a rare acknowledgment.I frowned and glared at him. He had upset Yasmine again! I had expected Nicholas to ignore him entirely, but to my surprise, he nodded back sligh
Dressed in a black coat, the hem of Nicholas' garment billowed as he took a long stride forward.He walked toward me, his dark eyes seeming to hold an infinite power. At the moment our gazes met, a sense of calm washed over me.Only Nicholas made me truly think of this word. He was my calm, but he w
"Yasmine, check the brooch. Claudia will probably reveal my photos in the second half," I said.Yasmine had worn a sunflower brooch on her outfit today, equipped with a portable recording device to capture the events at the scene.She nodded with a serious expression. "Don't worry. It's all set."Sh
