Chapter 1

Sasha Barlow had just finished her abortion surgery when she received a call from Aidan Gallagher."Get ready. Mr. Conley is coming tonight. Make sure to bring five bottles of whiskey and three bottles of red wine. Also, reach out to Mina and have her arrange for some pretty girls to be there."Sasha tightened her grip on the phone instinctively. "If I arrange everything for you, can I not be there tonight?"There was a brief silence on the other end of the line. "Sasha, I know you're angry because I didn't help you out and instead scolded you when Natalie hit you yesterday."But you have to understand. Natalie is my girlfriend. She comes from a wealthy family and has been spoiled since she was young, so she's a bit indulged. You're older, so just put up with her a bit."With that, Aidan hastily hung up.As Sasha listened to the beeping sound on the other end, a bitter smile formed at the corner of her mouth.Just then, her ride arrived. Sasha ignored the faint pain as she quick

When Sasha woke up again, the night had already settled in.The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Aidan standing at the foot of her bed.She jumped in shock. "What are you doing? You scared the life out of me."With a loud snap, the lights in the room suddenly blazed on."Why didn't you answer your phone? I told you. Mr. Conley is coming tonight."As Aidan spoke, he angrily yanked his tie off and kicked the foot of the bed.Seeing the fury on his face, Sasha cautiously asked, "Did something go wrong tonight? That can't be. I arranged everything with Heidi. She's more than capable. There's no way anything went wrong."She sat up quickly, reaching for her phone.In the moment she was searching for it, Aidan's expression darkened even further."Did something go wrong? You have the nerve to ask me that? Do you have any idea that because of your tantrum and your refusal to show up, I've offended Mr. Conley tonight? He canceled the 20-million-dollar deal."Sasha, who had found he

Sasha and Aidan had met at an upscale nightclub.At that time, her mother, Ella Barlow, was battling uremia. She required dialysis every week and was in desperate need of a kidney transplant.To make quick money, Sasha worked as a PR officer at the club, using her looks to interact with wealthy customers.Aidan was like a desperate sycophant back then, flattering and serving a group of people. He poured drinks and lit cigarettes for them, hoping they would throw some business his way.At first, Sasha and Aidan's relationship was nothing more than occasional greetings.That changed one day when Sasha was set up by another PR officer at the club. She was tricked into serving a rich heir who had a disease.In an attempt to make sure she got infected, the PR officer had even drugged her, knowing she never left the club with customers.Just as she was about to be assaulted by the heir, Aidan came to her rescue.On that day, Aidan lost a deal worth millions, and the heir crushed his

Chapter 4

Sasha had promised Aidan to handle the shipment for the company, so despite the lingering effects of the abortion, she pushed herself to visit Brian in the hospital early the next morning.As soon as she reached the door of his ward, a cup of water came flying toward her before she could step inside."Get out, you bitch! I'm telling you. Even if you beg me on your knees today, I won't give Ridgeco Corporation any more business!"Sasha rubbed her forehead where the cup had struck.Noticing there was no hope of reconciliation, she turned around and left.When she arrived at the office, Heidi approached her. "Sasha, did you meet Mr. Conley? Did he hit you on the forehead?"Sasha didn't respond to Heidi's question. Instead, she calmly instructed, "Bring me the shipment list from the factory and contact all the business teams for a meeting at 10:00 am. We probably can't smooth things over with Mr. Conley for now, so let's focus on finding other distributors for the factory's goods."

Aside from helping Aidan find new distributors for the factory's goods, Sasha had begun passing her workload onto Heidi.Leaving was a decision she made after she had the abortion and left the hospital.For seven years, she had sacrificed too much and endured too much hurt in the name of love for Aidan.Aidan thought she was invincible. Little did he know, behind the flirtations with clients and socializing at the negotiation table, she was swallowing handfuls of sleeping pills and frantically washing her body with cold water.She had used these seven years to repay the favor Aidan did for her back at the club.After the fifth time she rejected Aidan's invitation to meet with new clients, Aidan finally realized something was wrong and showed up at her house.At that moment, she was packing her things.When she saw Aidan, she didn't approach him and hug him like she always had.Aidan had been single back then. Even though she knew he didn't love her, as long as he was still infa

Aidan laughed out of anger at Sasha's words.In the past, she had been throwing herself at him. But now, she was acting like a virtuous woman.He threw off his shirt and lunged toward Sasha."Come on. Stop pretending. No matter how angry you are, I'll take care of it in bed."As he said that, he grinned like a beast in heat and went for her lips.Feeling the stickiness on her cheek, Sasha struggled to hold back her tears. Like a waterfall finally breaking, they couldn't be stopped and slid down her face."Aidan, if you don't want me to hate you, get off me and leave my house."Aidan froze for a moment.He had known Sasha for seven years, ever since she worked at the club. But in all this time, he had never seen her cry—not even two years ago when Ella passed away, and Aidan helped her with the funeral.But now, Sasha was crying.For reasons he couldn't explain, seeing the tears on her face caused a sharp pain to surge in his heart. He even found himself wanting to wipe them a

After Aidan left that day, he didn't contact Sasha again.Sasha could more or less guess what Aidan was thinking. He was waiting for her to appease him.In the past, she loved Aidan, so he always put him first.She had used every skill she learned at the club to seduce a man to win Aidan over.She had provided him with emotional support and meticulously managed everything in his life. She had truly poured all her effort into loving him, like a moth drawn to a flame.Just as Sasha thought she would leave during the silent treatment with Aidan, she received a call from him that very night.He asked her to meet at the club, saying there was something important to discuss.Sasha hesitated for a long time, torn between going and not going. In the end, her emotions won over her reason.After seven years of loving him, she wanted to say a proper goodbye.She even thought she might ask him, just once, whether there was ever a moment in those seven years when he truly loved her.But w

Chapter 8

Sasha was heading to Ella's hometown.Before Ella passed away, her biggest wish had been to return to her hometown.Back then, Sasha had been too busy with work. Besides, her hometown had brought her too much pain, so she'd kept putting off bringing Ella's ashes back.Even though she forced herself to hold back her emotions, when the cold air hit her face, all the sharp, painful memories locked deep in her mind rushed back, slamming into her.Ella had been the other woman. After Sasha was born, Ella had been exposed by Priscilla Berg, the wife of the man she was involved with.In retaliation, Priscilla didn't just spread Ella's photo around town. Every time Ella tried to find a job, Priscilla and her people would show up and cause a scene—smashing things, tearing off her clothes, and doing whatever they could to humiliate her. Throughout Sasha's childhood, the only images she had were of Ella covering her body in public or begging Priscilla on her knees.Ella, unable to keep an

Meanwhile, Aidan was having a rough time.Ever since Sasha left, he hadn't been able to reach her. Her phone was off.When he went to her apartment, he found that she had changed the passcode on the lock.He asked Heidi, but she either mocked him with sarcasm or sneered as she told him that Sasha was never coming back.But Aidan didn't believe her.Anyone could leave him, but not Sasha.After all, she had told him countless times that she would never leave him.Yet a month passed, and there was still no sign of her. That was when true panic set in.Aidan rushed to Sasha's apartment and had someone break down the door.When he stepped inside, he found the place completely empty.For the first time in his life, Aidan felt real fear.Before he could even process it, the landlord, Carissa Kinney, showed up at the door.She was furious when she saw Aidan break the lock and immediately asked for compensation.Aidan's eyes were bloodshot.

Chapter 10

The moment Aidan hung up on the supplier, the frustration and exhaustion on his face were impossible to hide.After hastily paying a full year's rent to Carissa, he rushed back to the office.But just as he reached the entrance, he saw Natalie slap Heidi across the face."You idiot! You can't even handle something this simple? So what if I sent the wrong product model? You're the PR here. Instead of groveling at the factory and fixing it, you had the audacity to make me sign an accident report? Dream on!"Aidan's eyes burned red with rage when he saw that.Heidi was the most capable assistant Sasha had left behind. Ever since Sasha left, it was Heidi who held everything together, keeping the company from falling apart.And now Natalie had slapped her.Just as he was about to step forward and unleash his fury at Natalie, Heidi suddenly slapped Natalie back."Natalie, did you really think that I'd tolerate your nonsense like Sasha? Fine. Since you think PR is full of idiots, we'r
