The corner of Monique’s eyes throbbed. Was Henry regretting it? She instinctively turned around, beckoned by his irrefutable tone. She slowly walked to him.“Chairman Moore, do you have any other instructions?” She smiled ever so slightly. Henry opened the drawer with his slender hand. He took out a gold card from the drawer and passed it to her. “This card is for you!”Monique was stunned. It was a very beautiful gold card—it must be a debit card. “Thank you, but I don’t need it.”“This is an order!” Henry’s voice sounded cold. He pulled her hand and put the card in it. “Buy something with this card when you go back.” His domineering tone made it irrefutable. Monique looked at the card in her hand, feeling baffled. Was his mind filled with crap? He started treating her well after all the insults. He even forced her to take his card. Was this compensation? Did this card symbolize his request for her to surrender and be his lover?!That was too hilarious!She did not ca
“Please!” Monique mumbled very softly, but Henry heard her.He was stunned. When he asked her to beg him by the poolside, she was reluctant to do so and did not fear him throwing her in. Yet, she was begging him at the moment. Henry sneered, “What are you begging me for.”“Please let me go.” Monique’s voice was so soft. She had to surrender. She knew that if she did not surrender, he would take advantage of her in the room with both of them alone. There was nothing such a bastard could not do. “Why are you looking innocent now? You’ve even given birth to a child not knowing who the father is!” Henry was being condescending and mocking her with his cold eyes. His warm breath flowed through her face, exuding aggressive masculinity. He intended to say ‘When you crawled into my bed five years ago, weren't you happy?”This stupid woman. She could not even recall that. He had even admitted he was the child’s father. This woman was so stupid. Monique felt stabbing pain in her
Monique suddenly remembered something!This man warned her not to hook up or touch any other man. He cared too much. This tone sounded very much like jealousy. Could what happened by the poolside that day also caused by jealousy? It seemed like it. He turned inexplicably mad after she returned from driving. She did not previously notice that he was extremely mad. Remembering those few days, did he purposely neglect her then? Monique opened her eyes wide and looked at the exquisite handsome face. It was most definitely jealousy!She felt happy deep down so she could not help asking, “Were you being jealous just now?” Monique raised her brows. Henry was stunned, his voice was low and hoarse. “I am...feeling jealous...”Monique’s eyes sparkled. “...” She was speechless.Was that true? Even though she was conservative, she was not a traditional lady. If he really fell in love with her, she would not mind being intimate with him. Her heart was beating fast like a rabbi
Henry pulled Monique hard and pressed his tall body down on her. His strong masculinity surrounded her as his thin lips intrusively kissed ker. He became so fierce and aggressive that the gentleness he had just now had all gone. Monique was completely dumbfounded. Why did he suddenly kiss her again? His behaviour was so aggressive. His lips looted wantonly in her mouth and his big palm was tightened—it seemed like he wanted to rub her into his body. She could not breathe at all. She could clearly feel the anger in his moves yet she did not understand the reason. She was struck!When they were by the poolside, she had asked him to look for other women but he said he could not sleep well with other women. Had she hit a soft spot in his heart? Could he really not sleep by other women’s side? Or he would be dysfunctional in front of other women? Otherwise, he would not have been so mad. How could she save this situation!She became very dizzy and seemed to be out of air. His
Henry’s eyes were dark like the night. All that was in his mind was to make Monique his own. Did he really want to rape a lady? How hilarious was that!He stopped at the end. It was as if Monique heard him say, ‘This is a punishment for her hooking up with another man!’‘What? Is this only a punishment?’Henry looked at the fatigued woman and realized how cruel he was. Her body was full of his bite marks, symbolizing his claim over his territory. Henry took a breath to calm his aggression down. He tidied up her clothes and covered her in a blanket. She flinched anxiously as her hand touched his neck. Henry leaned on the bed and fixed his dark eyes on her. After a long time, he opened up one corner of the blanket, carefully laid down, reached out his hand, and hugged her in his arms. Then, he closed his eyes. The next morning, the day dawned crisp and clear. The sun poured through the windows. Monique slept in Henry’s arm peacefully for a night, and he slept very sound th
Monique’s phone suddenly rang. Her ringtone brought her back from the painful memory. Her little hand took the phone beside her bed, she picked up the phone and said weakly, “Hello.”“Monique, didn’t you say you’d be coming home today?” A mid-age man’s loving voice sounded on the phone. It was her uncle. She told him the day before that she would go back. She was frustrated when she woke up and forgot about it. “Yes, uncle. I’ll be heading back in a while,” Monique said, sounding relaxed. Her uncle’s call warmed her heart. He still remembers her. Maybe the world was not that terrible after all.Moreover, she had the cute, little Angel. Monique kept encouraging herself after she hung up the phone. She went downstairs after washing up. Angel had already started eating and Mrs. Lawson was serving her at the side. She took the food and put it in Angel’s bowl. Angel’s little baby-fat face had recently turned chubbier; she was like a small meat bun and looked so cute. Her b
“Ah!” Monique shouted. Her beautiful brows furrowed as she felt pain from the burn.“What happened, mommy?” Angel raised her head, looking concerned. She looked at half-bitten pierogi Monique spitted out, shook her head, and sighed, “Mommy, be careful when you eat. I’m not going to snatch your food.”Mrs. Lawson laughed out loud. Monique looked abashed, as Mrs. Lawson said, “That’s right. Eat slowly. There’s more in the steamer.”Monique agreed softly. Her face turned red and thought to herself, ‘How can I finish so many of these. I’m not a pig.’“Mommy, are we really going back to uncle’s house?” asked Angel. Her little eyes were filled with confusion. Why did they have to go back when that aunt and the other lady did not seem to like her. She did not wish to go back. “Um. Uncle called and asked me to go back and stay home for a few days,” Monique said softly, “How did you know? I haven’t told you.”“Daddy told me,” Angel said. “He even asked Mrs. Lawson to prepare a lot of stu
Siobhan knew Zephyrus asked Monique to come home and was very unhappy. “Why did you ask that bastard to come here? Haven’t we helped them enough? Her biological parents didn’t even want to bother with her. Yet here you are, treating her better than your own daughter.”“Speak softer. Monique rarely comes home. Can’t you just stop talking for a while,” condemned Zephyrus. “Who’s your biological daughter? You haven’t even helped Yvonne find a job, yet you’re thinking about that bastard all day long. Does she have a hook on your soul?” Siobhan was angry. She was at her wits’ end. As Siobhan talked about Yvonne, he started becoming angry at her. “Look at how you’ve spoiled her. She has been switching jobs. At one time she said she was too tired, other times she said you don’t agree with the job. If this goes on, there would be no company wanting to take her in.” Zephyrus threw the newspaper in his hand angrily. Zephyrus’s face looked bad. He warned her sternly while looking at her.
