Mitchel was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group.<br /> Raegan lay motionless in the massive bed. Damp strands of her hair stuck to her temples and cheeks. She stared at the ceiling with her eyes brimming with tears. Her naked body was aching slightly.<br /> Raegan Hayes was a little absent-minded at the moment, all she could think of since was the doctor's words. "Congratulations! You are pregnant."<br /> <br /> She took out the pregnancy test report from the nightstand drawer.<br /> <br /> Raegan had gone to the hospital because of an incessant stomachache. After a urine test, the doctor broke the news to her. She was almost five weeks pregnant!<br /> <br /> It came as a shock to her. She and Mitchel had always used protection whenever they had sex.<br /> <br /> After racking her brain, she traced the time of conception. It turned out to be last month after a party. Mitchel had driven her home and suddenly asked her at the door if she was in her safe period. That was their first time had sex.<br /> <br /> Now, it dawned on her that the period was far from safe!<br /> <br /> Days later, Mitchel's grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather's dying wish.<br /> They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public.<br /> <br /> It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Raegan only considered herself lucky at that time.<br /> <br /> Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for eight years. She delightfully agreed.<br /> <br /> After their marriage, Mitchel was very busy. He spent most of his time working.<br /> <br /> Raegan wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn't been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past two years.<br /> <br /> Except for his mild indifference, Mitchel was a perfect husband.<br /> <br /> Raegan had mixed feelings as she stared at the pregnancy test result.<br /> <br /> In the end, she decided to tell Mitchel the truth.<br /> <br /> She also wanted to tell him that she hadn't learned about him for the first time two years ago and that she had been crushing on him for many years before then.<br /> <br /> The shower in the bathroom finally went off.<br /> <br /> As soon as Mitchel came out, his phone rang. He went to the balcony with only a bath towel and answered the phone.<br /> <br /> Raegan checked the time and found that it was already midnight.<br /> <br /> She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Mitchel at this ungodly hour?<br /> <br /> Mitchel spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned to the room and stripped away the bath towel.<br /> His figure was a sight to behold. The packs on his belly were bulky. His buttocks were hard and his legs were long and muscular. This man was a catch!<br /> <br /> It wasn't the first time Raegan was seeing that. Nonetheless, she still blushed and her heart began to race at this time.<br /> <br /> "Don't wait up for me. Good night," he said finally.<br /> <br /> What? He was on his way out? At this hour?<br /> <br /> Raegan's grip on the pregnancy test result tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, "It's already so late."<br /> <br /> Mitchel's fingers froze on his tie. With a faint smile, he pinched her earlobe and said, "Be good, okay? There's something I have to do. Don't wait up."<br /> <br /> With that, he headed for the door.<br /> <br /> "Mitchel."<br /> <br /> Raegan quickly ran and caught up with him.<br /> <br /> Mitchel turned around and looked at her seriously.<br /> <br /> "What's the matter?"<br /> <br /> There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other.<br /> <br /> A little distressed, Raegan asked in a low voice, "I would like to visit my grandma tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?"<br /> <br /> Frail and ill, her grandmother always wanted to see her. As a result, Raegan wanted to take Mitchel there to assure her grandma they were happy.<br /> <br /> "Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Without agreeing or declining, Mitchel left in a hurry.<br /> <br /> Several thoughts were threading Raegan's mind as she took a shower and got back to bed. She couldn't sleep a wink.<br /> <br /> A few notifications from some online blogs came into her phone.<br /> <br /> However, she wasn't interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar name made her click on it.<br /> <br /> The news read, "Famous designer, Lauren Murray was spotted at the airport with her mysterious boyfriend earlier today."<br /> <br /> Lauren was wearing a bucket hat. The man's figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing.<br /> <br /> Raegan zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped.<br /> <br /> Mitchel was the man in the picture!<br /> <br /> So, he canceled the afternoon meeting just to go pick up his ex-girlfriend from the airport?<br /> <br /> Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Mitchel's number.<br /> <br /> Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end.<br /> <br /> "Hello!" It was a particularly gentle woman's voice.<br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a second and then threw the phone away.<br /> <br /> She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Bile rose to her throat.<br /> <br /> Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl.<br /> <br /> Chapter2 Wake Up From The Wild Dream<br /> The next morning, Raegan went to work on time.<br /> <br /> Mitchel had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money.<br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores.<br /> <br /> The head assistant, Matteo Jenkins was left to take care of the major affairs Mitchel had.<br /> <br /> At this time, one of Raegan's colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Mitchel's office.<br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't return home last night. Raegan was so worried that she didn't sleep at all.<br /> All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. Did Mitchel spend the night with that woman?<br /> <br /> Raegan already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial.<br /> <br /> It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact.<br /> <br /> Raegan tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving Mitchel. This couldn't be all for nothing, right?<br /> <br /> She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president's office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good.<br /> <br /> She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man's voice came. She halted instantly.<br /> <br /> "Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Raegan or not?"<br /> <br /> The voice belonged to Luis Stevens, a childhood friend of Mitchel's.<br /> <br /> "What do you mean exactly?" Mitchel asked in a cold voice.<br /> <br /> "You know exactly what I mean!" Luis clicked his tongue impatiently and added, "I think Raegan is a good girl. Isn't she your type?"<br /> <br /> "Do you want me to hand her over to you?" Mitchel asked carelessly.<br /> <br /> "You know what, forget it!"<br /> <br /> The scornful laughter of Luis sounded particularly harsh in Raegan's ears.<br /> They were talking about her as if she were an object.<br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document.<br /> <br /> Soon, Luis's voice was heard again.<br /> <br /> "By the way, I saw the gossip news about Lauren's mysterious boyfriend this morning. That was you, right?"<br /> <br /> "Yes."<br /> <br /> "Well, well, well! That woman still has you wrapped around her little finger. You always want to please her."<br /> <br /> Luis sighed and continued to tease Mitchel. "You two spent the night together. As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two..."<br /> <br /> Their conversation was like a thunder exploding over Raegan's head.<br /> <br /> Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice.<br /> <br /> Lauren and Mitchel spent the night together!<br /> <br /> Absence made the heart grow fonder!<br /> <br /> Every word drove a knife into her heart.<br /> <br /> Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry.<br /> <br /> She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door was opened from inside.<br /> <br /> "Raegan?"<br /> <br /> Luis was the one who opened the door. It appeared he was on his way out.<br /> <br /> Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded. "Hey, Mr. Stevens!"<br /> <br /> Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document.<br /> <br /> Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk. In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome.<br /> <br /> Raegan noticed it wasn't the same suit he had on when he left home last night. How did he get changed?<br /> <br /> With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, "Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department. Please sign it."<br /> <br /> Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance.<br /> <br /> Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her. Luis was still standing at the threshold.<br /> <br /> It wasn't until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, "Ouch! Do you think she heard us?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment. Obviously, he wasn't paying attention to what Luis was saying.<br /> <br /> To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone.<br /> <br /> Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well.<br /> <br /> In the elevator.<br /> <br /> Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears. Unfortunately, it didn't work.<br /> <br /> She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love.<br /> <br /> Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream.<br /> <br /> She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel's true love.<br /> <br /> Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted. Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened.<br /> <br /> She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea.<br /> <br /> Several employees were chatting inside.<br /> <br /> "Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back."<br /> <br /> "And who is that?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, my! You don't know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer. Most importantly, she's the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public. She's his first love!"<br /> <br /> "Why is her return such a big deal? Isn't it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?"<br /> <br /> "Raegan? She's probably one of his many toys. Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her. And that is no surprise to me. After all, look at her. She's not even that beautiful. Yet, she behaves as if she's already Mrs. Dixon. What a fool!"<br /> <br /> Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them. It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her.<br /> <br /> The love was one-sided.<br /> <br /> "Ha-ha, has Mrs. Dixon finally woken up from her wild dream?"<br /> <br /> A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind. Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel's cousin, who had always despised her.<br /> <br /> Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping.<br /> <br /> Chapter3 Tool For His Pleasure<br /> The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company. She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way.<br /> <br /> With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, "Lauren is back now. Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?"<br /> <br /> Raegan said nothing to that.<br /> <br /> Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule. "I heard you are quite good in bed. How about I introduce you to a couple of men? They could really need you."<br /> <br /> Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly, "Ms. Lloyd, we are in the company, not a brothel. If you are interested in that kind of business, you know where to go."<br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Raegan had just insinuated that she was a pimp. This made Tessa's face change.<br /> <br /> The next second, Tessa raised her hand and emptied the cup of hot coffee on Raegan.<br /> <br /> Raegan didn't think for a second that Tessa would do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the hot liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee burned her arm and her skin turned red.<br /> <br /> "Ouch!" Raegan frowned in pain. "What did you do that for? Are you out of your mind?"<br /> <br /> It was lunch break and many employees were free to watch the drama. Tessa was even more complacent when she saw growing onlookers.<br /> <br /> She put on a mean-girl look as she said, "What makes you so smug every day, huh? Do you seriously think that others don't know you are just a bastard without parents? The nerve of..."<br /> <br /> A crisp sound was heard all of a sudden.<br /> <br /> Tessa was silenced by a hot slap to her face.<br /> <br /> Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would slap her.<br /> <br /> Tessa held her cheek and stared blankly for a while. Then, she stuttered, "You... You hit me? How dare you!"<br /> <br /> Raegan eyed her and replied, "Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness."<br /> <br /> Indeed, Raegan lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn't mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it.<br /> <br /> Wrinkles appeared on Tessa's face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel's cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this.<br /> <br /> "You!"<br /> <br /> Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, raising her hand up high to return the slap.<br /> <br /> This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa's wrist so tightly that the latter couldn't move another inch.<br /> <br /> Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, Tessa struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing trap.<br /> <br /> Tessa cursed angrily, "How dare you put your filthy hands on me? Who the hell do you think you are? You are nothing but Mitchel's toy!"<br /> <br /> These harsh words attracted more people to the break room.<br /> <br /> "That's enough!"<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, a baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo.<br /> <br /> The entire room fell silent.<br /> <br /> "Mitchel?" Tessa's blood ran cold at the sight of Mitchel. She had always been scared of him. Her mother also warned her against provoking him.<br /> <br /> But when she remembered that Raegan slapped her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed. "Mitchel, look at my face. She slapped me."<br /> <br /> The sunlight from outside fell on Mitchel's handsome face.<br /> <br /> Raegan felt so grieved all of a sudden, and lowered her head to look at the back of her arm which was scalded by the coffee.<br /> <br /> Their gaze met in the air. With a deep frown, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, "Raegan, have you forgotten the rules of the company?"<br /> His ruthlessness made Raegan's breathing cease. She couldn't believe her ears.<br /> <br /> No one dared to make a sound at this moment.<br /> <br /> Raegan just stood straight there with her slender figure.<br /> <br /> When she got employed here, Mitchel had told her that the Dixon Group wasn't a place for her to mess around and that he would not tolerate her making any mistakes.<br /> <br /> Raegan could understand why he took this stand.<br /> <br /> However, at this moment, she was desperate to know whether Mitchel had heard those hard words Tessa scolded her or he was just pretending not to have heard because he agreed to those words.<br /> <br /> Did he really see her as a tool for his pleasure?<br /> <br /> There was only one man in Raegan's heart, and it was Mitchel. In the second year of her marriage to him, she got pregnant. Raegan's joy knew no bounds.<br /> But before she could break the news to her husband, he served her divorce papers because he wanted to marry his first love.<br /> Afterward, she decided to get her life back on track.<br /> Her name was everywhere years later. Mitchel became very uncomfortable. For some reason, he began to miss her. His heart ached when he saw her all smiles with another man.<br /> <br /> What will be happened next?<br /> There are limited chapters to put here, click the button below to install our App to continue reading more chapters.<br /> (It will automatically jump to the book when you open the app).<br /> &7&	LEARN_MORE	https://fbweb.moboreader.net/55837322-fb_contact-e	101349082641610	Good Fiction	https://facebook.com/100083027966501	8,592	1	733,347,582,332,121	2024-04-28 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	1	1	Learn more	Good Fiction	120208763948670714	fbweb.moboreader.net	NONE	image		https://fbweb.moboreader.net/55837322-fb_contact-enj57b_8_0423-core1.html?adid={{ad.id}}&char=331118&accid=934080944896999	2024-04-23 04:44	https://scontent-ord5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440343344_328453566921365_5668349983720443619_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=109&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=eRXEXoJAzb0Ab4MR7pe&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-1.xx&oh=00_AfBPQpQ0yMsE6v1_aieLSu95Cpsbb1Aa9m9z5VLKyxgabQ&oe=66345897	person_profile	Good Fiction	https://scontent-ord5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/437589506_803365698323680_2048910281377870061_n.jpg?_nc_cat=106&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=VQJ4a3ndTT0Ab6qfuNT&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-1.xx&oh=00_AfAMVRoIr41ly3l0KRha4xZ367GiQ1A8CzdSgUB4cKQODA&oe=663444AE	3	Good Fiction	2024-04-28 02:00	View Edit Delete

After their divorce, he realized in anguish that he had been mistaken all along—his true love had always been his ex-wife.<br /> ======<br /> <br /> Chapter1 The truth about marrying her<br /> "Tammy, I'm sorry I hurt you." He stroked her soft hair and murmured. <br /> <br /> Tammy's scarred face hung with tears, and her tiny, naked body lay shivering in the strong man's arms. She was too shy to look up at him.<br /> <br /> Today was her wedding night. Just now, she ended the transformation from a girl to a woman.<br /> <br /> The man holding her in his arms at the moment was her husband Angus, a man could drive all women crazy.<br /> <br /> She had loved him for fifteen years.<br /> <br /> In the darkness, Angus stared at the little woman in his arms. His deep black eyes contained a coolness that was hard for others to guess.<br /> <br /> Tammy shook her head gently. Her face blushed.<br /> <br /> Although he was gentle, the pain was inevitable because it was her first time.<br /> <br /> However, she was happy enough that he didn't mind the scars on her face and that she was a poor little girl who had been living in exile for ten years.<br /> <br /> There was a ding, and his phone rang.<br /> <br /> Angus took the phone, looked at it, frowned, turned his head and said, "Tammy, I'm going out for a few minutes and I will come back soon. Wait for me."<br /> <br /> He bowed his head and gently kissed on her forehead.<br /> <br /> Angus switched on the light and got out of bed, tucking Tammy in and picking up a robe from the side and putting it on.<br /> <br /> Tammy watched as he left the room.<br /> <br /> Without his embrace, she was suddenly lost. She gripped the blanket restlessly at her chest. Her thin shoulders were out of the quilt, and they were covered with the marks of their love and affection.<br /> <br /> A few minutes passed and he didn't return. Tammy's loss grew stronger and stronger.<br /> <br /> She put on her pink nightgown and picked up the heart-shaped pendant carved from the wood on the bedside table and put it around her neck.<br /> <br /> It had been given to her by her mother before she died, and although it was worthless, she had worn it since she was a child.<br /> <br /> The pendant always soothed her anxious emotion.<br /> <br /> Tammy left the new house with a sweet smile on her face to find her husband.<br /> <br /> In the hallway, there was a sudden sound of talking.<br /> <br /> "Tammy's kidney was successfully paired with Sonia, and marrying her was just a way to get her to sign a consent form for the donation."<br /> <br /> It was Angus's voice. It was extraordinarily familiar to her, but it hurt her so much for a moment. His words were like a thunderbolt exploding in her head!<br /> <br /> Tammy's face went suddenly pale. Her hands clenched in fists, gripping the skirt of her nightgown so tightly that her whole body was as stiff as a stone. She seemed to have lost half her life.<br /> <br /> In the back of her mind, the words he'd said when he'd asked her to marry him emerged...<br /> <br /> "Tammy, you are a good girl, and I have no reason to marry any woman but you... "<br /> <br /> But then those words were like heavy slaps in her face!<br /> <br /> Tammy's kidney was paired with Sonia's and marrying her was just to get her to sign the donor consent form-...<br /> <br /> Tammy covered her mouth and shivered.<br /> <br /> She'd never agreed to donate her kidney, and she'd thought he'd married her because he loved her.<br /> <br /> But it turned out that he was the one who was going to trick her into donating a kidney for the woman he loved!<br /> <br /> The familiar figure not far away was as grand and tall as a king, with an elegant aristocratic air. Although the first time had only just been given to him, at the moment he was so strange to her!<br /> <br /> At this time, there came another voice with some flattery: "Oh, so that's it. Young Master Smith, why didn't you say so earlier. I thought you had let Sonia down. After all, she loves you so much, and you married Tammy as soon as she fell ill. It's hard for her not to think too much. Tammy is so vicious that she won't donate her kidney to save her sister. And you're the only one who can control her!"<br /> <br /> Chapter2 So it's all a trick<br /> The speaker was Tammy's stepmother, who was named Sue.<br /> <br /> When Tammy was nine years old, Sue was brought home by her father along with her sister who was older than Tammy. That girl was also her father's biological daughter.<br /> <br /> In other words, not long after her father and mother got married, he already had had an affair with another woman and had a daughter outside.<br /> <br /> At the time, her mother was already suffering from depression due to the hardships she had had in the marriage. And as a result, the incident completely overwhelmed her, causing her to become more and more mentally ill. Finally, her mother desperately tried to throw her out of the car window in a major car accident, while she was burned to death in the car.<br /> <br /> By the time her body was taken out, it was all charred...<br /> <br /> Tammy was only ten years old...<br /> <br /> Her mother was killed by Sue and her daughter, and her face and life were ruined by them.<br /> <br /> And now, they had joined forces and wanted her kidney!<br /> <br /> How could they be so bad? How could they do this to her?<br /> <br /> What did she do wrong?<br /> <br /> Tammy's tears rolled down like a river that had burst its banks!<br /> <br /> Angus, did you know that I've remembered you since I was five years old!<br /> <br /> But I loved you so much, and you trampled on my affection like this!<br /> <br /> His cruelty shattered all her hopes, and her world fell into obscurity.<br /> <br /> She thought she'd made it, but when the fog had lifted, she found that the destination she'd been running to wasn't heaven, but hell!<br /> <br /> Tammy gritted her teeth desperately and ran away back to her room!<br /> <br /> Angus's eyes were deep and dark. His voice had turned cold, "Tammy's kidneys can only be used when it's necessary."<br /> <br /> When he possessed her tonight, she was shaking all the time. She was so thin and fragile, so how could she carry the kidney removal surgery.<br /> <br /> When Sue heard this, she was immediately unhappy, but she didn't dare to show her anger, "Young Master Smith, what do you mean? Didn't you say you'd let her donate her kidney before marrying her? But why did you go back on your word?"<br /> <br /> Angus frowned and said sternly, "I have no regrets. If another suitable kidney is found before the operation, I will divorce her."<br /> <br /> Divorce.<br /> <br /> The thought of these words seemed to hit him hard heavily.<br /> <br /> Sue was about to say something else. Suddenly Angus paled and said indifferently, "Go away and don't let Tammy doubt you."<br /> <br /> His tone was full of strong command that made Sue pale!<br /> <br /> Although she had decided that she was Angus's future mother-in-law, she still shivered, not daring to say anything more. She turned away but a light flashed in her eyes.<br /> <br /> She would never let Tammy go!<br /> <br /> ......<br /> <br /> Tammy huddled in the corner of the room with her arms wrapped around her, shivering.<br /> <br /> Angus came in, and found no one in the room. He searched around, and suddenly noticed the curtains trembling faintly.<br /> <br /> He lifted the curtains and saw Tammy sitting on the floor, hugging her knees as if she was in some kind of shock. Her face was pale as a sheet.<br /> <br /> Angus was startled, "Tammy, what are you doing here?"<br /> <br /> Tammy clenched her teeth desperately, and she stared at him with her red eyes.<br /> <br /> Angus frowned. He was confused. "What's wrong with you? Get up first"<br /> <br /> Chapter3 You give up<br /> He bent down and put his hands under her armpits and picked her up.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Tammy was agitated and pushed him away hard, "Get off me!"<br /> <br /> She almost growled out.<br /> <br /> "......"<br /> <br /> Her attitude was so strange. Did she know anything?<br /> <br /> Instantly, his eyes went cold, "Did you know?"<br /> <br /> Tammy clenched her fists in grief, "Yes!"<br /> <br /> "......"<br /> <br /> Angus said coldly, "In that case, there's no need to pretend loving."<br /> <br /> It was clear that things had been revealed, and his cold tone seemed to tell her that there was no need for him to pretend to be gentle with her anymore.<br /> <br /> The air went cold, and Tammy's whole body became top-heavy as if all her insides had been emptied!<br /> <br /> Suddenly, she was so out of breath that a sensation of her breath being blocked came over her, and she fell to the ground, covering her chest!<br /> <br /> Angus sensed something was wrong and immediately took her in his arms!<br /> <br /> "Tammy!" There was urgency in his voice.<br /> <br /> Tammy's breath quickened and she gripped the man's suit tie. Her tears gushed from her eyes, and her red eyes were full of indignation!<br /> <br /> "........"<br /> <br /> Angus didn't say much, but his face was unusually livid. He just picked Tammy up and put her on the bed.<br /> <br /> "Tammy, how are you feeling?" He patted her face gently, a fine layer of sweat covering his forehead.<br /> <br /> Tammy stared at him with wide and empty eyes. She gave him a sarcastic smile.<br /> <br /> If he'd been scared about her before, she'd have been happy. But now she just felt sick.<br /> <br /> He wasn't afraid she'd die, but he was afraid that he could not get her to sign the consent form!<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Tammy sat up in bed, pushed him away, and got right off the bed!<br /> <br /> Angus frowned. He easily caught her back with his long arms and held her in his arms. He hugged her from behind, and his eyes were dark, "Where do you want to go?"<br /> <br /> "You let go of me!" Tammy shouted!<br /> <br /> Finally, monstrous anger erupted and she tried almost with all her might to break the man's hands that held her. Her nails almost sank into the back of his hands.<br /> <br /> Angus frowned and a chill crossed his face as he said coldly, "Stop it. Calm down!"<br /> <br /> "........"<br /> <br /> He's got the nerve to think she was making a scene?<br /> <br /> Tammy gritted her teeth, veins bulging on her forehead as she hissed, "Angus, how could you cheat on my feelings like that?!"<br /> <br /> She hated him so much!<br /> <br /> Angus closed his eyes and his breathing became a little faster. He easily clamped around her in his embrace. His strong and muscular muscles pressed against her back through the suit and her nightgown. His heartbeat strongly that almost crushed her thin and frail body.<br /> <br /> In the end, he opened his cold and heartless eyes with a frost that couldn't be melted, "Yes, I married you for your kidney, but..."<br /> <br /> He seemed to be trying to explain something else, but the words wouldn't come out of his mouth.<br /> <br /> After all, he was doing it for her kidney. What else could he do to explain?<br /> <br /> "........"<br /> <br /> He had finally admitted it to her. He admitted his intention so neatly, so righteously!<br /> <br /> Tammy breathed a cold air. She bit down on her teeth, and her face was full of tears. The tears hid the scars on her face. She raged, "I won't give my kidney to Sonia. You give up!"<br /> <br /> His voice was also tinged with a hidden anger, and his strong, powerful arms around her became tighter, "Tammy, she's your sister. Why are you so cruel? It's just a kidney. You are not going to die!"<br /> <br /> Just a kidney?<br /> <br /> Why did he have the nerve to say that?<br /> <br /> ...<br /> &4&	LEARN_MORE	https://web.readnow.mobi/51691322-fb_contact-encp1	106206892171576	Love Story City	https://facebook.com/100083614308933	17,052	2	319,837,517,559,060	2024-04-28 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	1	1	Learn more	Love Story City	120210536297580022	web.readnow.mobi	NONE	image		https://web.readnow.mobi/51691322-fb_contact-encp15_5-0410-core2.html?adid={{ad.id}}&char=961225&accid=734914081743879	2024-04-25 02:14	https://scontent-ord5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/439999398_390415987318722_6786511687171370300_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=jE4ZfuGo6FQAb5LLWQj&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-2.xx&oh=00_AfC03prWqjANFjLTSTqQyNuNQq0DFuvaPx6UCzTa69cDvQ&oe=663442C5	person_profile	ReadNow	https://scontent-ord5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440316762_1145675539897909_1388730122297075943_n.jpg?_nc_cat=111&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=-E3xPMg2qDgAb4eVEp8&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-1.xx&oh=00_AfAWir1PoILuDV6Ht-CH6jaShS8AfzQZ6UvuBQqjvGt97g&oe=663446D1	3	Love Story City	2024-04-28 02:00	View Edit Delete

He checked her phone and got floored at the message: Please come tomorrow for another prenatal care checkup!<br /> =============<br /> <br /> Chapter 1 Ex-girlfriend Returns<br /> <br /> Raegan Hayes was a little absent-minded at the moment. <br /> <br /> All she could think of since this afternoon was the doctor's words. "Congratulations! You are going to be a mom."<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Mitchel Dixon pinched her arm. His low voice came the next second. "Come back to earth. What are you thinking about?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group. <br /> <br /> Everything had happened so fast. She was newly employed in the company when they unexpectedly got married. <br /> <br /> At that time, Mitchel's grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather's dying wish. <br /> <br /> They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public. Their union could be terminated at any time. <br /> <br /> It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Raegan only considered herself lucky at that time. <br /> <br /> Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for eight years. She delightfully agreed. <br /> <br /> After their marriage, Mitchel was very busy. He spent most of his time working. <br /> <br /> Raegan wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn't been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past two years. <br /> <br /> Except for his mild indifference, Mitchel was a perfect husband. <br /> <br /> Raegan had mixed feelings as she stared at the medical report. <br /> <br /> In the end, she decided to tell Mitchel this news. <br /> <br /> She also wanted to tell him that she hadn't learned about him for the first time two years ago and that she had been crushing on him for many years before then. <br /> <br /> Just then, Mitchel’s phone rang. He went to the balcony and answered the phone. <br /> <br /> Raegan checked the time and found that it was already midnight. <br /> <br /> She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Mitchel at this hour? <br /> <br /> Mitchel spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned and changed into formal attire. His handsome face which had a clear outline made him look dignified. <br /> <br /> He was something to see now. <br /> <br /> "Don't wait up for me. Good night," he said finally. <br /> <br /> What? He was on his way out? At this hour? <br /> <br /> Raegan's grip on the report tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, "It's already so late."<br /> <br /> Mitchel's fingers froze on his tie. With a faint smile, he pinched her earlobe and said, "Be good, okay? There's something I have to do. Don't wait up."<br /> <br /> With that, he headed for the door. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel."<br /> <br /> Raegan quickly ran and caught up with him. <br /> <br /> Mitchel turned around and looked at her seriously. <br /> <br /> "What's the matter?"<br /> <br /> There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other. <br /> <br /> A little distressed, Raegan asked in a low voice, "I would like to visit my grandma tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?"<br /> <br /> Her grandmother always wanted to see her. As a result, Raegan wanted to take Mitchel there to assure her grandma they were happy. <br /> <br /> "Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Without agreeing or declining, Mitchel left in a hurry. <br /> <br /> Several thoughts were threading Raegan's mind. She couldn't sleep a wink. <br /> <br /> After tossing and turning for a long time, she went to the kitchen and made herself a warm glass of milk. <br /> <br /> A few notifications from some online blogs came into her phone. <br /> <br /> However, she wasn't interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar name made her click on it. <br /> <br /> The news read, "Famous designer, Lauren Murray was spotted at the airport with her mysterious boyfriend earlier today."<br /> <br /> Lauren was wearing a bucket hat. The man's figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing. <br /> <br /> Raegan zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was the man in the picture! <br /> <br /> So, he canceled the afternoon meeting just to go pick up his ex-girlfriend from the airport? <br /> <br /> This realization settled like a boulder in Raegan's gut, rendering her flustered. <br /> <br /> Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Mitchel's number. <br /> <br /> The dial tone brought her back to her senses. Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end. <br /> <br /> "Hello!"<br /> <br /> It was a particularly gentle woman's voice. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a second and then threw the phone away. <br /> <br /> She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl. <br /> <br /> The next morning, Raegan went to work on time. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores. <br /> <br /> The head assistant, Matteo Jenkins was left to take care of the major affairs Mitchel had. <br /> <br /> Matteo was the only Dixon Group employee who knew about their marriage. <br /> <br /> Since inception, only male assistants were hired for the president's office. Reagan was the first and only female. Her employment broke the protocol. As a result, other workers couldn't help but wonder if she was involved with Mitchel. <br /> <br /> It took a while before they realized that Mitchel never gave Raegan special treatment. Strangely, this made them despise her even more. <br /> <br /> After all, no one would last long in anything while taking advantage of their looks.<br /> <br /> At this time, one of Raegan's colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Mitchel's office. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't return home last night. Raegan was so worried that she didn't sleep at all. <br /> <br /> All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. What was her relationship with Mitchel?<br /> <br /> Raegan already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial. <br /> <br /> It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact. <br /> <br /> Raegan tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving Mitchel. This couldn't be all for nothing, right? <br /> <br /> She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president's office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good. <br /> <br /> She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man's voice came. She halted instantly. <br /> <br /> "Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Raegan or not?"<br /> <br /> The voice belonged to Luis Stevens, a childhood friend of Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> "What do you mean exactly?" Mitchel asked in a cold voice. <br /> <br /> "You know exactly what I mean!" Luis clicked his tongue impatiently and added, "I think Raegan is a good girl. Isn't she your type?"<br /> <br /> "Do you want me to hand her over to you?" Mitchel asked carelessly. <br /> <br /> "You know what, forget it!"<br /> <br /> The scornful laughter of Luis sounded particularly harsh in Raegan's ears. <br /> <br /> They were talking about her as if she were an object. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document. <br /> <br /> Soon, Luis's voice was heard again. <br /> <br /> "By the way, I saw the gossip news about Lauren's mysterious boyfriend this morning. That was you, right?"<br /> <br /> "Yes."<br /> <br /> "Well, well, well! That woman still has you wrapped around her little finger. You always want to please her."<br /> <br /> Luis sighed and continued to tease Mitchel. "As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two..."<br /> <br /> Their conversation was like a thunder exploding over Raegan's head. <br /> <br /> Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice. <br /> <br /> The woman was indeed Lauren! <br /> <br /> Absence made the heart grow fonder! <br /> <br /> Every word drove a knife into her heart. <br /> <br /> Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry. <br /> <br /> She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door was opened from inside. <br /> <br /> "Raegan?"<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 2 One-sided Love<br /> <br /> Luis was the one who opened the door. It appeared he was on his way out. <br /> <br /> Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded. "Hey, Mr. Stevens!"<br /> <br /> Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk. In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome. <br /> <br /> Raegan noticed it wasn't the same suit he had on when he left home last night. How did he get changed? <br /> <br /> With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, "Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department. Please sign it."<br /> <br /> Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance. <br /> <br /> Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her. Luis was still standing at the threshold. <br /> <br /> It wasn't until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, "Do you think she heard us?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment. Obviously, he wasn't paying attention to what Luis was saying. <br /> <br /> To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone. <br /> <br /> Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well. <br /> <br /> In the elevator. <br /> <br /> Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears. Unfortunately, it didn't work. <br /> <br /> She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love. <br /> <br /> Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream. <br /> <br /> She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel's true love. <br /> <br /> Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted. Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened. <br /> <br /> She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea. <br /> <br /> Several employees were chatting inside. <br /> <br /> "Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back."<br /> <br /> "And who is that?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, my! You don't know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer. Most importantly, she's the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public. She's his first love!"<br /> <br /> "Why is her return such a big deal? Isn't it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?"<br /> <br /> "Raegan? She's nothing to Mr. Dixon. Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her. And that is no surprise to me. After all, look at her. She's not even that beautiful. Yet, she behaves as if she's already Mrs. Dixon. What a fool!"<br /> <br /> Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them. It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her. <br /> <br /> The love was one-sided. <br /> <br /> "Ha-ha, have you finally woken up from your wild dream, Raegan?"<br /> <br /> A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind. Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel's cousin, who had always despised her. <br /> <br /> Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping. <br /> <br /> The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company. She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way. <br /> <br /> With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, "Lauren is back now. Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?"<br /> <br /> Raegan said nothing to that. <br /> <br /> Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule. "Maybe it’s time for you to seek out another man, you pathetic fool."<br /> <br /> Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly, "Ms. Lloyd, if you are interested in that kind of thing, feel free to pursue it yourself."<br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Raegan's retort made Tessa's face change. <br /> <br /> The next second, Tessa raised her hand and emptied the cup of coffee on Raegan. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't think for a second that Tessa would do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee drenched her clothes. <br /> <br /> Raegan frowned. "What did you do that for? Are you out of your mind?"<br /> <br /> It was lunch break and many employees were free to watch the drama. Tessa was even more complacent when she saw growing onlookers. <br /> <br /> She put on a mean-girl look as she said, "What makes you so smug every day, huh? Do you seriously think that others don't know you are just an orphan? The nerve of..."<br /> <br /> Tessa was silenced by Raegan’s shove. <br /> <br /> Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would shove her. <br /> <br /> Tessa stuttered, "You... You pushed me? How dare you!"<br /> <br /> Raegan eyed her and replied, "Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness."<br /> <br /> Indeed, she lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn't mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it. <br /> <br /> Wrinkles appeared on Tessa's face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel's cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this. <br /> <br /> Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, poised to retaliate. <br /> <br /> This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa's wrist so that the latter couldn't move another inch. <br /> <br /> Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, she struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing trap. <br /> <br /> Tessa cursed angrily, "How dare you put your hands on me? Who do you think you are?"<br /> <br /> These harsh words attracted more people to the break room. <br /> <br /> "That's enough!"<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, a baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo. <br /> <br /> The entire room fell silent. <br /> <br /> "Mitchel?" Tessa's blood ran cold at the sight of Mitchel. She had always been scared of him. Her mother also warned her against provoking him. <br /> <br /> But when she remembered that Raegan humiliated her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed. "Mitchel, she bullied me."<br /> <br /> The sunlight from outside fell on Mitchel's handsome face. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt so grieved all of a sudden, and lowered her head to look at her clothes which were soaked with coffee. <br /> <br /> Their gaze met in the air. With a deep frown, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, "Raegan, have you forgotten the rules of the company?"<br /> <br /> His ruthlessness made Raegan's breathing cease. She couldn't believe her ears. <br /> <br /> No one dared to make a sound at this moment. <br /> <br /> Raegan just stood straight there with her slender figure. <br /> <br /> When she got employed here, Mitchel had told her that the Dixon Group wasn't a place for her to mess around and that he would not tolerate her making any mistakes. <br /> <br /> Raegan could understand why he took this stand. <br /> <br /> However, at this moment, she was desperate to know whether Mitchel had heard those hard words Tessa scolded her or he was just pretending not to have heard because he agreed to those words. <br /> <br /> Was she truly insignificant to him?<br /> <br /> Scared to death by Mitchel's rage, the crowd soon dispersed. A few employees were bold enough to peep from a distance, unwilling to miss the good show. <br /> <br /> Mitchel's cold eyes made Raegan shiver from head to toe. <br /> <br /> Raegan pinched her palm to suppress her emotions as she looked at Tessa. <br /> <br /> "I'm sorry, Ms. Lloyd. As an employee of the Dixon Group, it was wrong of me to have offended you."<br /> <br /> Eyeing Raegan, Tessa raised her chin complacently. "Humph! Don't think you'll be let off the hook just by making a simple apology. I don't buy..."<br /> <br /> "The offence has nothing to do with the company. Personally, I refuse to apologize to you. Now, if you'd excuse me," Raegan chimed in. <br /> <br /> She then walked past Mitchel without sparing him another look. <br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Tessa's face turned blue after hearing what Raegan said. <br /> <br /> Never in her years of being alive had she been so humiliated. She was always the bully, not the victim! <br /> <br /> The humiliation was so much that scolding Raegan wouldn't appease her anger. <br /> <br /> Pointing in Raegan's direction, Tessa shouted, "Mitchel, did you hear what that woman just said? She humiliated me, yet she's still so arrogant. Call her back. I have to teach her some manners!"<br /> <br /> Mitchel, staring at Raegan's thin back, had an ambiguous expression at this moment. <br /> <br /> "Enough!" he said coldly, raising his hand. <br /> <br /> As someone who lived and breathed drama and cruelty, Tessa didn't think Mitchel was partial to Raegan just now. She assumed that Mitchel didn't care about Raegan at all. <br /> <br /> Tessa gritted her teeth and said viciously, "Next time, I'll get someone to teach her a lesson."<br /> <br /> "Tessa!" Mitchel's tone and squint made it a reproof. <br /> <br /> Tessa trembled at once. <br /> <br /> With a somber face, Mitchel said, "I'll only say it once. Forget about what happened here today. Leave Raegan alone."<br /> <br /> The aura he exuded made her tongue go dry. All the vicious ideas she had in store against Raegan disappeared in an instant. <br /> <br /> She stammered, "Ok... Okay, got it..."<br /> <br /> Mitchel cast a cold glance at her and spoke to Matteo. "Irrelevant people wouldn't be allowed in here from today onwards."<br /> <br /> Without catching the drift, Tessa flattered Mitchel. "Nice call. This is a top company. Not everyone gains access in here."<br /> <br /> Matteo nodded to Mitchel and then walked over to Tessa. He gestured to the exit. "Ms. Lloyd, this way, please."<br /> <br /> It wasn't until this moment that Tessa realized that she was the irrelevant person Mitchel just mentioned. She tried to speak to him, but Matteo blocked her way. The security guards then escorted her out. <br /> <br /> They showed her no mercy. Her struggle was useless. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Raegan got changed when she returned to her office. <br /> <br /> Her heart was filled with sadness as she thought of how Mitchel looked at her minutes ago. <br /> <br /> Closing hour soon rolled by. <br /> <br /> Raegan took her bag and headed for the exit. However, Matteo stopped her. <br /> <br /> He said, "Mr. Dixon has something urgent to deal with, so he asked me to drive you home."<br /> <br /> Raegan declined the ride without thinking twice. <br /> <br /> She was blind before, but now she could see through the situation. <br /> <br /> In Mitchel's eyes, she was just a nobody. <br /> <br /> How could Mitchel agree to accompany her to visit her grandmother when he didn't even care about her? <br /> <br /> Upon arriving at the hospital, Raegan saw that the nurse was about to feed her grandmother dinner. Raegan took the job over and did it by herself. <br /> <br /> All her life, her grandmother had been living in the countryside, enjoying a quiet life. Everything changed last month when her routine medical checkup showed that she was in need of medical care. Raegan insisted on bringing her to the city for better treatment. <br /> <br /> Her grandmother wasn't aware of her marriage to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> Raegan had planned to surprise her today. But as it turned out, that was no longer necessary. <br /> <br /> Raegan waited for her grandmother to fall asleep before she left. She walked out of the hospital and waited for a taxi. <br /> <br /> In the distance, a black luxury car pulled into the entrance of the hospital. <br /> <br /> Raegan's eyes lit up when she saw it. She recognized that car as Mitchel's. <br /> <br /> Did he come to pick her up? <br /> <br /> At this moment, she forgot all the pain she had been feeling. <br /> <br /> Were her thoughts about him all wrong? Did he care for her, contrary to the gossip? <br /> <br /> The door of the driver's side opened and Mitchel got out. <br /> <br /> Raegan started walking toward him with her heart brimming with joy. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had just walked over to the other side and carried a woman out of the car. <br /> <br /> Worry and compassion were written all over his handsome face. <br /> <br /> This wiped the smile on Raegan's face. Her heart sank. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Chapter 3 Let's Divorce<br /> <br /> Mitchel's tall and straight figure got closer and closer to Raegan. And then, without saying a word, he strode past Raegan. <br /> <br /> It was hard to tell if Mitchel saw Raegan or just ignored her. <br /> <br /> Regardless, Raegan noticed that the woman in his arms was the same one who had been photographed with him yesterday. <br /> <br /> She was Lauren. <br /> <br /> Raegan's shoes felt like they were made of lead as she walked away. <br /> <br /> She lost all awareness of her surroundings. She got into a taxi absentmindedly. <br /> <br /> Suddenly, the driver uttered, "Ma'am, where to?"<br /> <br /> Raegan was stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> She didn't want to go back to Serenity Villas. It was only a matter of time before that place stopped being her home. <br /> <br /> After a while, she replied, "Please take me to Crystal Bay."<br /> <br /> She had purchased an apartment at Crystal Bay after getting married to Mitchel. <br /> <br /> At the time, she had hopes of bringing her grandmother to the city, so she bought the apartment on mortgage. It wasn't that big, but it had more than enough space for two people. <br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't understand why she wanted to buy an apartment. He offered to give her a bigger one, but she declined. <br /> <br /> Looking back now, she realized that buying that apartment was the only wise decision she had ever made in the last two years. <br /> <br /> When she arrived at the apartment complex, Raegan sat in the park alone, trying to cool herself down. <br /> <br /> The memories of the past two years were bittersweet. <br /> <br /> Two years had passed in the blink of an eye even though it was more than seven hundred days and nights. <br /> <br /> Love could move mountains, they said. <br /> <br /> Yet, her love didn't move that stone of a man. She finally realized what a fool she had been. She had been making herself a laughingstock in front of everyone. <br /> <br /> It was already late in the night before Raegan finally decided to go into her apartment. <br /> <br /> As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Mitchel standing in front of the door. <br /> <br /> His sleeves were rolled up casually, and the top buttons of his shirt were undone, which revealed his long neck and part of his collarbone. He was leaning on the wall by the door, his handsome face straight. <br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a moment. <br /> <br /> Why was he here? Didn't she see him at the hospital with Lauren? What brought him here? <br /> <br /> Their eyes met. With his coat draped over his arm and one of his hands in his pocket, Mitchel squinted at her. <br /> <br /> "Why didn't you answer the phone?" he asked, sounding a little grumpy like someone who hadn't slept in a long time. <br /> <br /> Raegan took out her phone and saw she had accidentally put it on DND. <br /> <br /> There were five missed calls from Mitchel. <br /> <br /> This marked the first time in their two-year marriage. <br /> <br /> Mitchel blew up her phone because he couldn't find her? Surprising! <br /> <br /> Before today, she would have been overjoyed by this. People would've thought she won the lottery. <br /> <br /> But now, she just threw her phone back into her bag, folded her arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't hear it ring."<br /> <br /> Mitchel raised his hand to check the time on the watch, and said impatiently, "I've been looking for you for two hours."<br /> <br /> After arranging everything for Lauren, he returned home to find an empty house. He looked for Raegan everywhere. When he couldn't find her, he asked Matteo to check the surveillance footage of all the roads that led away from the company. <br /> <br /> He later found out that Raegan went to Crystal Bay without telling him. <br /> <br /> "Next time, tell me when you are coming here, okay? Let's go home now." After that, Mitchel walked toward the elevator without sparing her another glance. <br /> <br /> He meant to go back to Serenity Villas. <br /> <br /> Raegan didn't move an inch. She just stared at his broad back and pondered reluctantly. <br /> <br /> Would they have a future? <br /> <br /> Mitchell turned around, only to see that Raegan hadn't taken a single step. He frowned and asked, "Can't you walk? Do you want me to carry you instead?"<br /> <br /> The light in the corridor illuminated his face, making his side profile almost impeccable. <br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and said, "Let's divorce."<br /> <br /> "What do you mean?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's voice was cold, and his handsome face changed immediately. <br /> <br /> "I want to move into my own place. After all, we will be strangers soon."<br /> <br /> Raegan forced a smile, but her heart was aching as if someone was tearing it apart bit by bit. <br /> <br /> "We will be strangers?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel smiled coldly. "Raegan, what do you think our relationship is now?"<br /> <br /> His questioning left Raegan stunned for a moment. <br /> <br /> Mitchel had made it very clear to her from the very beginning. This facade of their marriage had happened by mutual agreement. There was no love. In the eyes of others, they were nothing more than just a superior and a subordinate. <br /> <br /> Mitchel was quite the catch in Ardlens. Many young ladies longed for his love and were even willing to throw themselves at him. <br /> <br /> His question just now reminded her of that fact. Was he afraid that she wouldn't let him go that easily? If that was the case, he couldn't be more wrong... <br /> <br /> After biting her lower lip to conceal her bitterness, Raegan said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Dixon. I was giving it too much thought. Anyway, please leave me alone from now on. You don't have to come here again."<br /> <br /> After saying that, Raegan couldn't help but burst into tears. <br /> <br /> How could she not be sad when she was cutting ties with the man she had loved for a decade? It was such a long time. <br /> <br /> Regardless of how difficult it was, she knew it was time to let go. <br /> <br /> It was high time she stopped being a fool. <br /> <br /> Strangely, the light in the corridor began flickering. <br /> <br /> The deathly stare Mitchel was giving Raegan right now made the atmosphere seem like the moment before an attack in a horror movie. <br /> <br /> Although he understood that Raegan sometimes could throw a tantrum, he felt that she had just crossed the line now. <br /> <br /> His eyes shone like blazing torches at this moment. But when he saw the tears in her eyes, the rage inside him extinguished in an instant. He said in a low voice, "If this is about what happened between you and Tessa, I..."<br /> <br /> "No, this isn't about her. Mr. Dixon, please leave now."<br /> <br /> A lot of things happened between them. And the incident with Tessa didn't come close to any. <br /> <br /> Raegan felt exhausted. She passed by Mitchel and was about to open the door. <br /> <br /> Yet, Mitchel was displeased with her stubbornness. <br /> <br /> He loosened his tie irritably. He then took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. <br /> <br /> "Stop this, will you?"<br /> <br /> A second later, he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. <br /> <br /> He instantly realized that she was burning up like someone who had been set on fire. <br /> <br /> "You have a fever?"<br /> <br /> Raegan felt dizzy. She rested her head on his chest weakly. <br /> <br /> This made the whole situation complicated. <br /> <br /> Reagan was slow to catch that. When she finally realized that her body was too close to his, she put her hands against his chest and tried to pull back. <br /> <br /> Before she could escape, Mitchel pulled her back and held her by the waist. With a cold face, he said in a low voice, "Where do you think you are going?"<br /> <br /> The light flickered again. Out of the blue, Mitchel lifted her up. <br /> <br /> He then headed for the elevator. <br /> <br /> In a daze, Raegan asked softly, "What are you doing?"<br /> <br /> "What does it look like I am doing?" Mitchel remarked. "Taking you to the hospital, of course."<br /> <br /> "No way!" Raegan cried out in surprise and seemed to regain more strength. <br /> <br /> Mitchel might find out about her condition if they went to the hospital.<br /> <br /> Raegan struggled to get out of Mitchel's arms. However, his tight grip made her efforts fruitless. <br /> <br /> "Don't be so stubborn. You are sick, so you must see the doctor," Mitchel said firmly. <br /> <br /> He walked to the elevator with her in his arms. At this moment, Raegan's heart was thumping so hard that it could jump out of her chest. She flailed in protest. <br /> <br /> "Put me down! I don't want to go to the hospital!"<br /> <br /> &13&	LEARN_MORE	https://fbweb.moboreader.net/46526322-fb_contact-e	105235075579900	Funread	https://facebook.com/100083845110483	11,033	1	424,144,183,556,798	2024-04-28 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	1	1	Learn more	Funread	120208159972120660	fbweb.moboreader.net	NONE	image		https://fbweb.moboreader.net/46526322-fb_contact-enj57-1125-core1.html?adid={{ad.id}}&char=216543&accid=1910509592737470	2024-04-25 03:22	https://scontent-bos5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/439888530_442365681509968_8870469040812165793_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=110&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=IxbV4ouQIAwAb6s17js&_nc_ht=scontent-bos5-1.xx&oh=00_AfDJfn3RxPzsolAriiDg2gOEBWsMkwjjRcgm1lFqv_EvUg&oe=66344BD3	person_profile	moboreader	https://scontent-bos5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/439839227_1041498037562030_7531034792379210450_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=5LMnzwwMccsAb5WjBCg&_nc_ht=scontent-bos5-1.xx&oh=00_AfANXmKtMCBSz-fxv1NA7f21mNdM24R-fvpJ4GE7bdYz-g&oe=66344AF0	3	Funread	2024-04-28 02:00	View Edit Delete

Mitchel was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group.<br /> Raegan lay motionless in the massive bed. Damp strands of her hair stuck to her temples and cheeks. She stared at the ceiling with her eyes brimming with tears. Her naked body was aching slightly.<br /> Raegan Hayes was a little absent-minded at the moment, all she could think of since was the doctor's words. "Congratulations! You are pregnant."<br /> <br /> She took out the pregnancy test report from the nightstand drawer.<br /> <br /> Raegan had gone to the hospital because of an incessant stomachache. After a urine test, the doctor broke the news to her. She was almost five weeks pregnant!<br /> <br /> It came as a shock to her. She and Mitchel had always used protection whenever they had sex.<br /> <br /> After racking her brain, she traced the time of conception. It turned out to be last month after a party. Mitchel had driven her home and suddenly asked her at the door if she was in her safe period. That was their first time had sex.<br /> <br /> Now, it dawned on her that the period was far from safe!<br /> <br /> Days later, Mitchel's grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather's dying wish.<br /> They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public.<br /> <br /> It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Raegan only considered herself lucky at that time.<br /> <br /> Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for eight years. She delightfully agreed.<br /> <br /> After their marriage, Mitchel was very busy. He spent most of his time working.<br /> <br /> Raegan wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn't been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past two years.<br /> <br /> Except for his mild indifference, Mitchel was a perfect husband.<br /> <br /> Raegan had mixed feelings as she stared at the pregnancy test result.<br /> <br /> In the end, she decided to tell Mitchel the truth.<br /> <br /> She also wanted to tell him that she hadn't learned about him for the first time two years ago and that she had been crushing on him for many years before then.<br /> <br /> The shower in the bathroom finally went off.<br /> <br /> As soon as Mitchel came out, his phone rang. He went to the balcony with only a bath towel and answered the phone.<br /> <br /> Raegan checked the time and found that it was already midnight.<br /> <br /> She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Mitchel at this ungodly hour?<br /> <br /> Mitchel spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned to the room and stripped away the bath towel.<br /> His figure was a sight to behold. The packs on his belly were bulky. His buttocks were hard and his legs were long and muscular. This man was a catch!<br /> <br /> It wasn't the first time Raegan was seeing that. Nonetheless, she still blushed and her heart began to race at this time.<br /> <br /> "Don't wait up for me. Good night," he said finally.<br /> <br /> What? He was on his way out? At this hour?<br /> <br /> Raegan's grip on the pregnancy test result tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, "It's already so late."<br /> <br /> Mitchel's fingers froze on his tie. With a faint smile, he pinched her earlobe and said, "Be good, okay? There's something I have to do. Don't wait up."<br /> <br /> With that, he headed for the door.<br /> <br /> "Mitchel."<br /> <br /> Raegan quickly ran and caught up with him.<br /> <br /> Mitchel turned around and looked at her seriously.<br /> <br /> "What's the matter?"<br /> <br /> There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other.<br /> <br /> A little distressed, Raegan asked in a low voice, "I would like to visit my grandma tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?"<br /> <br /> Frail and ill, her grandmother always wanted to see her. As a result, Raegan wanted to take Mitchel there to assure her grandma they were happy.<br /> <br /> "Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Without agreeing or declining, Mitchel left in a hurry.<br /> <br /> Several thoughts were threading Raegan's mind as she took a shower and got back to bed. She couldn't sleep a wink.<br /> <br /> A few notifications from some online blogs came into her phone.<br /> <br /> However, she wasn't interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar name made her click on it.<br /> <br /> The news read, "Famous designer, Lauren Murray was spotted at the airport with her mysterious boyfriend earlier today."<br /> <br /> Lauren was wearing a bucket hat. The man's figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing.<br /> <br /> Raegan zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped.<br /> <br /> Mitchel was the man in the picture!<br /> <br /> So, he canceled the afternoon meeting just to go pick up his ex-girlfriend from the airport?<br /> <br /> Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Mitchel's number.<br /> <br /> Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end.<br /> <br /> "Hello!" It was a particularly gentle woman's voice.<br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a second and then threw the phone away.<br /> <br /> She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Bile rose to her throat.<br /> <br /> Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl.<br /> <br /> Chapter2 Wake Up From The Wild Dream<br /> The next morning, Raegan went to work on time.<br /> <br /> Mitchel had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money.<br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores.<br /> <br /> The head assistant, Matteo Jenkins was left to take care of the major affairs Mitchel had.<br /> <br /> At this time, one of Raegan's colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Mitchel's office.<br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't return home last night. Raegan was so worried that she didn't sleep at all.<br /> All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. Did Mitchel spend the night with that woman?<br /> <br /> Raegan already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial.<br /> <br /> It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact.<br /> <br /> Raegan tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving Mitchel. This couldn't be all for nothing, right?<br /> <br /> She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president's office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good.<br /> <br /> She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man's voice came. She halted instantly.<br /> <br /> "Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Raegan or not?"<br /> <br /> The voice belonged to Luis Stevens, a childhood friend of Mitchel's.<br /> <br /> "What do you mean exactly?" Mitchel asked in a cold voice.<br /> <br /> "You know exactly what I mean!" Luis clicked his tongue impatiently and added, "I think Raegan is a good girl. Isn't she your type?"<br /> <br /> "Do you want me to hand her over to you?" Mitchel asked carelessly.<br /> <br /> "You know what, forget it!"<br /> <br /> The scornful laughter of Luis sounded particularly harsh in Raegan's ears.<br /> They were talking about her as if she were an object.<br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document.<br /> <br /> Soon, Luis's voice was heard again.<br /> <br /> "By the way, I saw the gossip news about Lauren's mysterious boyfriend this morning. That was you, right?"<br /> <br /> "Yes."<br /> <br /> "Well, well, well! That woman still has you wrapped around her little finger. You always want to please her."<br /> <br /> Luis sighed and continued to tease Mitchel. "You two spent the night together. As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two..."<br /> <br /> Their conversation was like a thunder exploding over Raegan's head.<br /> <br /> Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice.<br /> <br /> Lauren and Mitchel spent the night together!<br /> <br /> Absence made the heart grow fonder!<br /> <br /> Every word drove a knife into her heart.<br /> <br /> Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry.<br /> <br /> She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door was opened from inside.<br /> <br /> "Raegan?"<br /> <br /> Luis was the one who opened the door. It appeared he was on his way out.<br /> <br /> Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded. "Hey, Mr. Stevens!"<br /> <br /> Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document.<br /> <br /> Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk. In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome.<br /> <br /> Raegan noticed it wasn't the same suit he had on when he left home last night. How did he get changed?<br /> <br /> With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, "Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department. Please sign it."<br /> <br /> Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance.<br /> <br /> Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her. Luis was still standing at the threshold.<br /> <br /> It wasn't until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, "Ouch! Do you think she heard us?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment. Obviously, he wasn't paying attention to what Luis was saying.<br /> <br /> To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone.<br /> <br /> Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well.<br /> <br /> In the elevator.<br /> <br /> Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears. Unfortunately, it didn't work.<br /> <br /> She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love.<br /> <br /> Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream.<br /> <br /> She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel's true love.<br /> <br /> Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted. Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened.<br /> <br /> She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea.<br /> <br /> Several employees were chatting inside.<br /> <br /> "Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back."<br /> <br /> "And who is that?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, my! You don't know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer. Most importantly, she's the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public. She's his first love!"<br /> <br /> "Why is her return such a big deal? Isn't it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?"<br /> <br /> "Raegan? She's probably one of his many toys. Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her. And that is no surprise to me. After all, look at her. She's not even that beautiful. Yet, she behaves as if she's already Mrs. Dixon. What a fool!"<br /> <br /> Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them. It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her.<br /> <br /> The love was one-sided.<br /> <br /> "Ha-ha, has Mrs. Dixon finally woken up from her wild dream?"<br /> <br /> A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind. Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel's cousin, who had always despised her.<br /> <br /> Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping.<br /> <br /> Chapter3 Tool For His Pleasure<br /> The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company. She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way.<br /> <br /> With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, "Lauren is back now. Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?"<br /> <br /> Raegan said nothing to that.<br /> <br /> Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule. "I heard you are quite good in bed. How about I introduce you to a couple of men? They could really need you."<br /> <br /> Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly, "Ms. Lloyd, we are in the company, not a brothel. If you are interested in that kind of business, you know where to go."<br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Raegan had just insinuated that she was a pimp. This made Tessa's face change.<br /> <br /> The next second, Tessa raised her hand and emptied the cup of hot coffee on Raegan.<br /> <br /> Raegan didn't think for a second that Tessa would do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the hot liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee burned her arm and her skin turned red.<br /> <br /> "Ouch!" Raegan frowned in pain. "What did you do that for? Are you out of your mind?"<br /> <br /> It was lunch break and many employees were free to watch the drama. Tessa was even more complacent when she saw growing onlookers.<br /> <br /> She put on a mean-girl look as she said, "What makes you so smug every day, huh? Do you seriously think that others don't know you are just a bastard without parents? The nerve of..."<br /> <br /> A crisp sound was heard all of a sudden.<br /> <br /> Tessa was silenced by a hot slap to her face.<br /> <br /> Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would slap her.<br /> <br /> Tessa held her cheek and stared blankly for a while. Then, she stuttered, "You... You hit me? How dare you!"<br /> <br /> Raegan eyed her and replied, "Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness."<br /> <br /> Indeed, Raegan lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn't mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it.<br /> <br /> Wrinkles appeared on Tessa's face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel's cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this.<br /> <br /> "You!"<br /> <br /> Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, raising her hand up high to return the slap.<br /> <br /> This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa's wrist so tightly that the latter couldn't move another inch.<br /> <br /> Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, Tessa struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing trap.<br /> <br /> Tessa cursed angrily, "How dare you put your filthy hands on me? Who the hell do you think you are? You are nothing but Mitchel's toy!"<br /> <br /> These harsh words attracted more people to the break room.<br /> <br /> "That's enough!"<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, a baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo.<br /> <br /> The entire room fell silent.<br /> <br /> "Mitchel?" Tessa's blood ran cold at the sight of Mitchel. She had always been scared of him. Her mother also warned her against provoking him.<br /> <br /> But when she remembered that Raegan slapped her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed. "Mitchel, look at my face. She slapped me."<br /> <br /> The sunlight from outside fell on Mitchel's handsome face.<br /> <br /> Raegan felt so grieved all of a sudden, and lowered her head to look at the back of her arm which was scalded by the coffee.<br /> <br /> Their gaze met in the air. With a deep frown, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, "Raegan, have you forgotten the rules of the company?"<br /> His ruthlessness made Raegan's breathing cease. She couldn't believe her ears.<br /> <br /> No one dared to make a sound at this moment.<br /> <br /> Raegan just stood straight there with her slender figure.<br /> <br /> When she got employed here, Mitchel had told her that the Dixon Group wasn't a place for her to mess around and that he would not tolerate her making any mistakes.<br /> <br /> Raegan could understand why he took this stand.<br /> <br /> However, at this moment, she was desperate to know whether Mitchel had heard those hard words Tessa scolded her or he was just pretending not to have heard because he agreed to those words.<br /> <br /> Did he really see her as a tool for his pleasure?<br /> <br /> There was only one man in Raegan's heart, and it was Mitchel. In the second year of her marriage to him, she got pregnant.

After their divorce, he realized in anguish that he had been mistaken all along—his true love had always been his ex-wife.<br /> ======<br /> <br /> Chapter1 The truth about marrying her<br /> "Tammy, I'm sorry I hurt you." He stroked her soft hair and murmured. <br /> <br /> Tammy's scarred face hung with tears, and her tiny, naked body lay shivering in the strong man's arms. She was too shy to look up at him.<br /> <br /> Today was her wedding night. Just now, she ended the transformation from a girl to a woman.<br /> <br /> The man holding her in his arms at the moment was her husband Angus, a man could drive all women crazy.<br /> <br /> She had loved him for fifteen years.<br /> <br /> In the darkness, Angus stared at the little woman in his arms. His deep black eyes contained a coolness that was hard for others to guess.<br /> <br /> Tammy shook her head gently. Her face blushed.<br /> <br /> Although he was gentle, the pain was inevitable because it was her first time.<br /> <br /> However, she was happy enough that he didn't mind the scars on her face and that she was a poor little girl who had been living in exile for ten years.<br /> <br /> There was a ding, and his phone rang.<br /> <br /> Angus took the phone, looked at it, frowned, turned his head and said, "Tammy, I'm going out for a few minutes and I will come back soon. Wait for me."<br /> <br /> He bowed his head and gently kissed on her forehead.<br /> <br /> Angus switched on the light and got out of bed, tucking Tammy in and picking up a robe from the side and putting it on.<br /> <br /> Tammy watched as he left the room.<br /> <br /> Without his embrace, she was suddenly lost. She gripped the blanket restlessly at her chest. Her thin shoulders were out of the quilt, and they were covered with the marks of their love and affection.<br /> <br /> A few minutes passed and he didn't return. Tammy's loss grew stronger and stronger.<br /> <br /> She put on her pink nightgown and picked up the heart-shaped pendant carved from the wood on the bedside table and put it around her neck.<br /> <br /> It had been given to her by her mother before she died, and although it was worthless, she had worn it since she was a child.<br /> <br /> The pendant always soothed her anxious emotion.<br /> <br /> Tammy left the new house with a sweet smile on her face to find her husband.<br /> <br /> In the hallway, there was a sudden sound of talking.<br /> <br /> "Tammy's kidney was successfully paired with Sonia, and marrying her was just a way to get her to sign a consent form for the donation."<br /> <br /> It was Angus's voice. It was extraordinarily familiar to her, but it hurt her so much for a moment. His words were like a thunderbolt exploding in her head!<br /> <br /> Tammy's face went suddenly pale. Her hands clenched in fists, gripping the skirt of her nightgown so tightly that her whole body was as stiff as a stone. She seemed to have lost half her life.<br /> <br /> In the back of her mind, the words he'd said when he'd asked her to marry him emerged...<br /> <br /> "Tammy, you are a good girl, and I have no reason to marry any woman but you... "<br /> <br /> But then those words were like heavy slaps in her face!<br /> <br /> Tammy's kidney was paired with Sonia's and marrying her was just to get her to sign the donor consent form-...<br /> <br /> Tammy covered her mouth and shivered.<br /> <br /> She'd never agreed to donate her kidney, and she'd thought he'd married her because he loved her.<br /> <br /> But it turned out that he was the one who was going to trick her into donating a kidney for the woman he loved!<br /> <br /> The familiar figure not far away was as grand and tall as a king, with an elegant aristocratic air. Although the first time had only just been given to him, at the moment he was so strange to her!<br /> <br /> At this time, there came another voice with some flattery: "Oh, so that's it. Young Master Smith, why didn't you say so earlier. I thought you had let Sonia down. After all, she loves you so much, and you married Tammy as soon as she fell ill. It's hard for her not to think too much. Tammy is so vicious that she won't donate her kidney to save her sister. And you're the only one who can control her!"<br /> <br /> Chapter2 So it's all a trick<br /> The speaker was Tammy's stepmother, who was named Sue.<br /> <br /> When Tammy was nine years old, Sue was brought home by her father along with her sister who was older than Tammy. That girl was also her father's biological daughter.<br /> <br /> In other words, not long after her father and mother got married, he already had had an affair with another woman and had a daughter outside.<br /> <br /> At the time, her mother was already suffering from depression due to the hardships she had had in the marriage. And as a result, the incident completely overwhelmed her, causing her to become more and more mentally ill. Finally, her mother desperately tried to throw her out of the car window in a major car accident, while she was burned to death in the car.<br /> <br /> By the time her body was taken out, it was all charred...<br /> <br /> Tammy was only ten years old...<br /> <br /> Her mother was killed by Sue and her daughter, and her face and life were ruined by them.<br /> <br /> And now, they had joined forces and wanted her kidney!<br /> <br /> How could they be so bad? How could they do this to her?<br /> <br /> What did she do wrong?<br /> <br /> Tammy's tears rolled down like a river that had burst its banks!<br /> <br /> Angus, did you know that I've remembered you since I was five years old!<br /> <br /> But I loved you so much, and you trampled on my affection like this!<br /> <br /> His cruelty shattered all her hopes, and her world fell into obscurity.<br /> <br /> She thought she'd made it, but when the fog had lifted, she found that the destination she'd been running to wasn't heaven, but hell!<br /> <br /> Tammy gritted her teeth desperately and ran away back to her room!<br /> <br /> Angus's eyes were deep and dark. His voice had turned cold, "Tammy's kidneys can only be used when it's necessary."<br /> <br /> When he possessed her tonight, she was shaking all the time. She was so thin and fragile, so how could she carry the kidney removal surgery.<br /> <br /> When Sue heard this, she was immediately unhappy, but she didn't dare to show her anger, "Young Master Smith, what do you mean? Didn't you say you'd let her donate her kidney before marrying her? But why did you go back on your word?"<br /> <br /> Angus frowned and said sternly, "I have no regrets. If another suitable kidney is found before the operation, I will divorce her."<br /> <br /> Divorce.<br /> <br /> The thought of these words seemed to hit him hard heavily.<br /> <br /> Sue was about to say something else. Suddenly Angus paled and said indifferently, "Go away and don't let Tammy doubt you."<br /> <br /> His tone was full of strong command that made Sue pale!<br /> <br /> Although she had decided that she was Angus's future mother-in-law, she still shivered, not daring to say anything more. She turned away but a light flashed in her eyes.<br /> <br /> She would never let Tammy go!<br /> <br /> ......<br /> <br /> Tammy huddled in the corner of the room with her arms wrapped around her, shivering.<br /> <br /> Angus came in, and found no one in the room. He searched around, and suddenly noticed the curtains trembling faintly.<br /> <br /> He lifted the curtains and saw Tammy sitting on the floor, hugging her knees as if she was in some kind of shock. Her face was pale as a sheet.<br /> <br /> Angus was startled, "Tammy, what are you doing here?"<br /> <br /> Tammy clenched her teeth desperately, and she stared at him with her red eyes.<br /> <br /> Angus frowned. He was confused. "What's wrong with you? Get up first"<br /> <br /> Chapter3 You give up<br /> He bent down and put his hands under her armpits and picked her up.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Tammy was agitated and pushed him away hard, "Get off me!"<br /> <br /> She almost growled out.<br /> <br /> "......"<br /> <br /> Her attitude was so strange. Did she know anything?<br /> <br /> Instantly, his eyes went cold, "Did you know?"<br /> <br /> Tammy clenched her fists in grief, "Yes!"<br /> <br /> "......"<br /> <br /> Angus said coldly, "In that case, there's no need to pretend loving."<br /> <br /> It was clear that things had been revealed, and his cold tone seemed to tell her that there was no need for him to pretend to be gentle with her anymore.<br /> <br /> The air went cold, and Tammy's whole body became top-heavy as if all her insides had been emptied!<br /> <br /> Suddenly, she was so out of breath that a sensation of her breath being blocked came over her, and she fell to the ground, covering her chest!<br /> <br /> Angus sensed something was wrong and immediately took her in his arms!<br /> <br /> "Tammy!" There was urgency in his voice.<br /> <br /> Tammy's breath quickened and she gripped the man's suit tie. Her tears gushed from her eyes, and her red eyes were full of indignation!<br /> <br /> "........"<br /> <br /> Angus didn't say much, but his face was unusually livid. He just picked Tammy up and put her on the bed.<br /> <br /> "Tammy, how are you feeling?" He patted her face gently, a fine layer of sweat covering his forehead.<br /> <br /> Tammy stared at him with wide and empty eyes. She gave him a sarcastic smile.<br /> <br /> If he'd been scared about her before, she'd have been happy. But now she just felt sick.<br /> <br /> He wasn't afraid she'd die, but he was afraid that he could not get her to sign the consent form!<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Tammy sat up in bed, pushed him away, and got right off the bed!<br /> <br /> Angus frowned. He easily caught her back with his long arms and held her in his arms. He hugged her from behind, and his eyes were dark, "Where do you want to go?"<br /> <br /> "You let go of me!" Tammy shouted!<br /> <br /> Finally, monstrous anger erupted and she tried almost with all her might to break the man's hands that held her. Her nails almost sank into the back of his hands.<br /> <br /> Angus frowned and a chill crossed his face as he said coldly, "Stop it. Calm down!"<br /> <br /> "........"<br /> <br /> He's got the nerve to think she was making a scene?<br /> <br /> Tammy gritted her teeth, veins bulging on her forehead as she hissed, "Angus, how could you cheat on my feelings like that?!"<br /> <br /> She hated him so much!<br /> <br /> Angus closed his eyes and his breathing became a little faster. He easily clamped around her in his embrace. His strong and muscular muscles pressed against her back through the suit and her nightgown. His heartbeat strongly that almost crushed her thin and frail body.<br /> <br /> In the end, he opened his cold and heartless eyes with a frost that couldn't be melted, "Yes, I married you for your kidney, but..."<br /> <br /> He seemed to be trying to explain something else, but the words wouldn't come out of his mouth.<br /> <br /> After all, he was doing it for her kidney. What else could he do to explain?<br /> <br /> "........"<br /> <br /> He had finally admitted it to her. He admitted his intention so neatly, so righteously!<br /> <br /> Tammy breathed a cold air. She bit down on her teeth, and her face was full of tears. The tears hid the scars on her face. She raged, "I won't give my kidney to Sonia. You give up!"<br /> <br /> His voice was also tinged with a hidden anger, and his strong, powerful arms around her became tighter, "Tammy, she's your sister. Why are you so cruel? It's just a kidney. You are not going to die!"<br /> <br /> Just a kidney?<br /> <br /> Why did he have the nerve to say that?<br /> <br /> ...

Mitchel was her husband. They had been married secretly for two years. He was her superior at work, the president of the Dixon Group.<br /> Raegan lay motionless in the massive bed. Damp strands of her hair stuck to her temples and cheeks. She stared at the ceiling with her eyes brimming with tears. Her naked body was aching slightly.<br /> Raegan Hayes was a little absent-minded at the moment, all she could think of since was the doctor's words. "Congratulations! You are pregnant."<br /> <br /> She took out the pregnancy test report from the nightstand drawer.<br /> <br /> Raegan had gone to the hospital because of an incessant stomachache. After a urine test, the doctor broke the news to her. She was almost five weeks pregnant!<br /> <br /> It came as a shock to her. She and Mitchel had always used protection whenever they had sex.<br /> <br /> After racking her brain, she traced the time of conception. It turned out to be last month after a party. Mitchel had driven her home and suddenly asked her at the door if she was in her safe period. That was their first time had sex.<br /> <br /> Now, it dawned on her that the period was far from safe!<br /> <br /> Days later, Mitchel's grandfather fell seriously ill. It was then he proposed a fake marriage just to fulfill his grandfather's dying wish.<br /> They signed a prenup, agreeing to hide their marriage from the public.<br /> <br /> It was an unconventional thing to do. However, Raegan only considered herself lucky at that time.<br /> <br /> Never in a million years did she think she would ever get married to the man she had a crush on for eight years. She delightfully agreed.<br /> <br /> After their marriage, Mitchel was very busy. He spent most of his time working.<br /> <br /> Raegan wished she could spend more time with him at home. However, she was rest assured because there hadn't been any rumors or scandals about him with women in the past two years.<br /> <br /> Except for his mild indifference, Mitchel was a perfect husband.<br /> <br /> Raegan had mixed feelings as she stared at the pregnancy test result.<br /> <br /> In the end, she decided to tell Mitchel the truth.<br /> <br /> She also wanted to tell him that she hadn't learned about him for the first time two years ago and that she had been crushing on him for many years before then.<br /> <br /> The shower in the bathroom finally went off.<br /> <br /> As soon as Mitchel came out, his phone rang. He went to the balcony with only a bath towel and answered the phone.<br /> <br /> Raegan checked the time and found that it was already midnight.<br /> <br /> She felt a little uneasy. Who would call Mitchel at this ungodly hour?<br /> <br /> Mitchel spent a few minutes on the balcony. Thereafter, he returned to the room and stripped away the bath towel.<br /> His figure was a sight to behold. The packs on his belly were bulky. His buttocks were hard and his legs were long and muscular. This man was a catch!<br /> <br /> It wasn't the first time Raegan was seeing that. Nonetheless, she still blushed and her heart began to race at this time.<br /> <br /> "Don't wait up for me. Good night," he said finally.<br /> <br /> What? He was on his way out? At this hour?<br /> <br /> Raegan's grip on the pregnancy test result tightened as she stared at him in disappointment. Unconsciously, she withdrew slightly. After thinking for a while, she blurted out, "It's already so late."<br /> <br /> Mitchel's fingers froze on his tie. With a faint smile, he pinched her earlobe and said, "Be good, okay? There's something I have to do. Don't wait up."<br /> <br /> With that, he headed for the door.<br /> <br /> "Mitchel."<br /> <br /> Raegan quickly ran and caught up with him.<br /> <br /> Mitchel turned around and looked at her seriously.<br /> <br /> "What's the matter?"<br /> <br /> There was a tinge of coldness to his voice. An icy cloud hung over them as they stared at each other.<br /> <br /> A little distressed, Raegan asked in a low voice, "I would like to visit my grandma tomorrow. Can you accompany me there?"<br /> <br /> Frail and ill, her grandmother always wanted to see her. As a result, Raegan wanted to take Mitchel there to assure her grandma they were happy.<br /> <br /> "Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" Without agreeing or declining, Mitchel left in a hurry.<br /> <br /> Several thoughts were threading Raegan's mind as she took a shower and got back to bed. She couldn't sleep a wink.<br /> <br /> A few notifications from some online blogs came into her phone.<br /> <br /> However, she wasn't interested in them. She was about to swipe them away when one of them caught her attention. The familiar name made her click on it.<br /> <br /> The news read, "Famous designer, Lauren Murray was spotted at the airport with her mysterious boyfriend earlier today."<br /> <br /> Lauren was wearing a bucket hat. The man's figure was vague, but the outline of his body was enough to show that he was dashing.<br /> <br /> Raegan zoomed in on the picture. The next second, her heart dropped.<br /> <br /> Mitchel was the man in the picture!<br /> <br /> So, he canceled the afternoon meeting just to go pick up his ex-girlfriend from the airport?<br /> <br /> Her hands trembled. Subconsciously, she dialed Mitchel's number.<br /> <br /> Just as she was about to hang up, the line connected, and a voice came from the other end.<br /> <br /> "Hello!" It was a particularly gentle woman's voice.<br /> <br /> Raegan froze for a second and then threw the phone away.<br /> <br /> She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. Bile rose to her throat.<br /> <br /> Covering her mouth, she ran into the bathroom and threw up in the toilet bowl.<br /> <br /> Chapter2 Wake Up From The Wild Dream<br /> The next morning, Raegan went to work on time.<br /> <br /> Mitchel had tried to get her to stop working after they got married. Stubbornly, she insisted on making her own money.<br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't kick against her decision, but he asked her to work as his assistant, helping him with the daily chores.<br /> <br /> The head assistant, Matteo Jenkins was left to take care of the major affairs Mitchel had.<br /> <br /> At this time, one of Raegan's colleagues handed her a document and ordered her to take it to Mitchel's office.<br /> <br /> Mitchel didn't return home last night. Raegan was so worried that she didn't sleep at all.<br /> All she kept thinking about was the woman who answered his phone when she called. Did Mitchel spend the night with that woman?<br /> <br /> Raegan already knew the answer to that, but she was still in denial.<br /> <br /> It was difficult for her to come to terms with that fact.<br /> <br /> Raegan tried to remain calm now. She reasoned that no matter what happened, she deserved a result that would be rewarding for all the years she spent loving Mitchel. This couldn't be all for nothing, right?<br /> <br /> She pressed the elevator button calmly and went up to the president's office. Before she walked out of the elevator, she smoothed her hair to make sure she looked good.<br /> <br /> She had arrived at the office, only to see that the door was ajar. A man's voice came. She halted instantly.<br /> <br /> "Come on, man! Do you have any feelings for Raegan or not?"<br /> <br /> The voice belonged to Luis Stevens, a childhood friend of Mitchel's.<br /> <br /> "What do you mean exactly?" Mitchel asked in a cold voice.<br /> <br /> "You know exactly what I mean!" Luis clicked his tongue impatiently and added, "I think Raegan is a good girl. Isn't she your type?"<br /> <br /> "Do you want me to hand her over to you?" Mitchel asked carelessly.<br /> <br /> "You know what, forget it!"<br /> <br /> The scornful laughter of Luis sounded particularly harsh in Raegan's ears.<br /> They were talking about her as if she were an object.<br /> <br /> Raegan took a deep breath and tightened her grip on the document.<br /> <br /> Soon, Luis's voice was heard again.<br /> <br /> "By the way, I saw the gossip news about Lauren's mysterious boyfriend this morning. That was you, right?"<br /> <br /> "Yes."<br /> <br /> "Well, well, well! That woman still has you wrapped around her little finger. You always want to please her."<br /> <br /> Luis sighed and continued to tease Mitchel. "You two spent the night together. As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Tell me, did you two..."<br /> <br /> Their conversation was like a thunder exploding over Raegan's head.<br /> <br /> Her face turned pale and her body was as cold as ice.<br /> <br /> Lauren and Mitchel spent the night together!<br /> <br /> Absence made the heart grow fonder!<br /> <br /> Every word drove a knife into her heart.<br /> <br /> Several whispering voices filled her head at this time. She suddenly felt light-headed. Her vision became blurry.<br /> <br /> She held the wall and took a step backward. Suddenly, the door was opened from inside.<br /> <br /> "Raegan?"<br /> <br /> Luis was the one who opened the door. It appeared he was on his way out.<br /> <br /> Raegan balled her hands, turned to him, and nodded. "Hey, Mr. Stevens!"<br /> <br /> Without waiting for him to respond to her greeting, she walked past him and entered the office with the document.<br /> <br /> Mitchel was seated behind a large luxurious desk. In an expensive suit and matching tie, he looked particularly handsome.<br /> <br /> Raegan noticed it wasn't the same suit he had on when he left home last night. How did he get changed?<br /> <br /> With her eyes lowered, she swallowed that question and said instead, "Mr. Dixon, this is from the Marketing Department. Please sign it."<br /> <br /> Mitchel was expressionless as he signed the document at a glance.<br /> <br /> Raegan walked out the door as soon as he handed the document back to her. Luis was still standing at the threshold.<br /> <br /> It wasn't until she went out of sight that Luis turned to Mitchel and said in a hushed tone, "Ouch! Do you think she heard us?"<br /> <br /> Mitchel's appealing eyes were expressionless at the moment. Obviously, he wasn't paying attention to what Luis was saying.<br /> <br /> To Mitchel, Raegan had always been docile and never felt jealous of anyone.<br /> <br /> Her strict obedience was all Mitchel demanded from her in exchange for treating her well.<br /> <br /> In the elevator.<br /> <br /> Raegan held her breath just to hold back her tears. Unfortunately, it didn't work.<br /> <br /> She had thought two years would be enough for Mitchel to realize how much she loved him and reciprocate her love.<br /> <br /> Now, it turned out that was just a pipe dream.<br /> <br /> She realized she would always play second fiddle to Lauren, Mitchel's true love.<br /> <br /> Reagan wiped her tears when the elevator halted. Save for her pale face, she looked normal when the doors opened.<br /> <br /> She dragged herself to the break room, intending to make herself a cup of tea.<br /> <br /> Several employees were chatting inside.<br /> <br /> "Guys, have you heard? Lauren Murray is back."<br /> <br /> "And who is that?"<br /> <br /> "Oh, my! You don't know her? Lauren is the heiress of the Murray Group as well as a world-class designer. Most importantly, she's the only girlfriend Mr. Dixon has ever shown off in public. She's his first love!"<br /> <br /> "Why is her return such a big deal? Isn't it rumored that there is something between Mr. Dixon and Raegan?"<br /> <br /> "Raegan? She's probably one of his many toys. Mr. Dixon never admitted that he was dating her. And that is no surprise to me. After all, look at her. She's not even that beautiful. Yet, she behaves as if she's already Mrs. Dixon. What a fool!"<br /> <br /> Standing at the door, Raegan smiled with self-mockery as she listened to them. It turned out everyone else saw the truth except her.<br /> <br /> The love was one-sided.<br /> <br /> "Ha-ha, has Mrs. Dixon finally woken up from her wild dream?"<br /> <br /> A voice of mockery suddenly came from behind. Raegan turned around to see Tessa Lloyd, Mitchel's cousin, who had always despised her.<br /> <br /> Tessa must have also heard the employees gossiping.<br /> <br /> Chapter3 Tool For His Pleasure<br /> The last thing Raegan wanted to do now was argue with Tessa in the company. She turned to leave, but Tessa blocked her way.<br /> <br /> With a cup of coffee in her hand, Tessa uttered sarcastically, "Lauren is back now. Do you think Mitchel will still give you any attention?"<br /> <br /> Raegan said nothing to that.<br /> <br /> Seconds later, Tessa continued the ridicule. "I heard you are quite good in bed. How about I introduce you to a couple of men? They could really need you."<br /> <br /> Raegan clenched her fists and said coldly, "Ms. Lloyd, we are in the company, not a brothel. If you are interested in that kind of business, you know where to go."<br /> <br /> "You..."<br /> <br /> Raegan had just insinuated that she was a pimp. This made Tessa's face change.<br /> <br /> The next second, Tessa raised her hand and emptied the cup of hot coffee on Raegan.<br /> <br /> Raegan didn't think for a second that Tessa would do something so crazy. She held up her arms just to block the hot liquid from her face. In no time, the coffee burned her arm and her skin turned red.<br /> <br /> "Ouch!" Raegan frowned in pain. "What did you do that for? Are you out of your mind?"<br /> <br /> It was lunch break and many employees were free to watch the drama. Tessa was even more complacent when she saw growing onlookers.<br /> <br /> She put on a mean-girl look as she said, "What makes you so smug every day, huh? Do you seriously think that others don't know you are just a bastard without parents? The nerve of..."<br /> <br /> A crisp sound was heard all of a sudden.<br /> <br /> Tessa was silenced by a hot slap to her face.<br /> <br /> Her jaw dropped to the floor. She had never expected that Raegan, who was so quiet and timid, would slap her.<br /> <br /> Tessa held her cheek and stared blankly for a while. Then, she stuttered, "You... You hit me? How dare you!"<br /> <br /> Raegan eyed her and replied, "Yes, I did! It seems you need to be taught simple politeness."<br /> <br /> Indeed, Raegan lost her parents when she was a child. But that didn't mean she would allow someone to walk over her for it.<br /> <br /> Wrinkles appeared on Tessa's face as she frowned in anger. As Mitchel's cousin, she was used to being fawned over and respected. This was the first time she had been treated like this.<br /> <br /> "You!"<br /> <br /> Tessa charged at Raegan like a raging bull, raising her hand up high to return the slap.<br /> <br /> This time, Raegan was fully prepared for what was coming. She grabbed Tessa's wrist so tightly that the latter couldn't move another inch.<br /> <br /> Tessa was shorter than Raegan. As a result, Tessa struggled like an octopus that had one of its tentacles stuck in a fishing trap.<br /> <br /> Tessa cursed angrily, "How dare you put your filthy hands on me? Who the hell do you think you are? You are nothing but Mitchel's toy!"<br /> <br /> These harsh words attracted more people to the break room.<br /> <br /> "That's enough!"<br /> <br /> Out of the blue, a baritone came from behind. Mitchel had left his office and ran into this hullabaloo.<br /> <br /> The entire room fell silent.<br /> <br /> "Mitchel?" Tessa's blood ran cold at the sight of Mitchel. She had always been scared of him. Her mother also warned her against provoking him.<br /> <br /> But when she remembered that Raegan slapped her, she put on a pitiful expression and sobbed. "Mitchel, look at my face. She slapped me."<br /> <br /> The sunlight from outside fell on Mitchel's handsome face.<br /> <br /> Raegan felt so grieved all of a sudden, and lowered her head to look at the back of her arm which was scalded by the coffee.<br /> <br /> Their gaze met in the air. With a deep frown, Mitchel looked at Raegan and said, "Raegan, have you forgotten the rules of the company?"<br /> His ruthlessness made Raegan's breathing cease. She couldn't believe her ears.<br /> <br /> No one dared to make a sound at this moment.<br /> <br /> Raegan just stood straight there with her slender figure.<br /> <br /> When she got employed here, Mitchel had told her that the Dixon Group wasn't a place for her to mess around and that he would not tolerate her making any mistakes.<br /> <br /> Raegan could understand why he took this stand.<br /> <br /> However, at this moment, she was desperate to know whether Mitchel had heard those hard words Tessa scolded her or he was just pretending not to have heard because he agreed to those words.<br /> <br /> Did he really see her as a tool for his pleasure?<br /> <br /> There was only one man in Raegan's heart, and it was Mitchel. In the second year of her marriage to him, she got pregnant. Raegan's joy knew no bounds.<br /> But before she could break the news to her husband, he served her divorce papers because he wanted to marry his first love.<br /> Afterward, she decided to get her life back on track.<br /> Her name was everywhere years later. Mitchel became very uncomfortable. For some reason, he began to miss her.

After their divorce, he realized in anguish that he had been mistaken all along—his true love had always been his ex-wife.<br /> ======<br /> <br /> Chapter1 The truth about marrying her<br /> "Tammy, I'm sorry I hurt you." He stroked her soft hair and murmured. <br /> <br /> Tammy's scarred face hung with tears, and her tiny, naked body lay shivering in the strong man's arms. She was too shy to look up at him.<br /> <br /> Today was her wedding night. Just now, she ended the transformation from a girl to a woman.<br /> <br /> The man holding her in his arms at the moment was her husband Angus, a man could drive all women crazy.<br /> <br /> She had loved him for fifteen years.<br /> <br /> In the darkness, Angus stared at the little woman in his arms. His deep black eyes contained a coolness that was hard for others to guess.<br /> <br /> Tammy shook her head gently. Her face blushed.<br /> <br /> Although he was gentle, the pain was inevitable because it was her first time.<br /> <br /> However, she was happy enough that he didn't mind the scars on her face and that she was a poor little girl who had been living in exile for ten years.<br /> <br /> There was a ding, and his phone rang.<br /> <br /> Angus took the phone, looked at it, frowned, turned his head and said, "Tammy, I'm going out for a few minutes and I will come back soon. Wait for me."<br /> <br /> He bowed his head and gently kissed on her forehead.<br /> <br /> Angus switched on the light and got out of bed, tucking Tammy in and picking up a robe from the side and putting it on.<br /> <br /> Tammy watched as he left the room.<br /> <br /> Without his embrace, she was suddenly lost. She gripped the blanket restlessly at her chest. Her thin shoulders were out of the quilt, and they were covered with the marks of their love and affection.<br /> <br /> A few minutes passed and he didn't return. Tammy's loss grew stronger and stronger.<br /> <br /> She put on her pink nightgown and picked up the heart-shaped pendant carved from the wood on the bedside table and put it around her neck.<br /> <br /> It had been given to her by her mother before she died, and although it was worthless, she had worn it since she was a child.<br /> <br /> The pendant always soothed her anxious emotion.<br /> <br /> Tammy left the new house with a sweet smile on her face to find her husband.<br /> <br /> In the hallway, there was a sudden sound of talking.<br /> <br /> "Tammy's kidney was successfully paired with Sonia, and marrying her was just a way to get her to sign a consent form for the donation."<br /> <br /> It was Angus's voice. It was extraordinarily familiar to her, but it hurt her so much for a moment. His words were like a thunderbolt exploding in her head!<br /> <br /> Tammy's face went suddenly pale. Her hands clenched in fists, gripping the skirt of her nightgown so tightly that her whole body was as stiff as a stone. She seemed to have lost half her life.<br /> <br /> In the back of her mind, the words he'd said when he'd asked her to marry him emerged...<br /> <br /> "Tammy, you are a good girl, and I have no reason to marry any woman but you... "<br /> <br /> But then those words were like heavy slaps in her face!<br /> <br /> Tammy's kidney was paired with Sonia's and marrying her was just to get her to sign the donor consent form-...<br /> <br /> Tammy covered her mouth and shivered.<br /> <br /> She'd never agreed to donate her kidney, and she'd thought he'd married her because he loved her.<br /> <br /> But it turned out that he was the one who was going to trick her into donating a kidney for the woman he loved!<br /> <br /> The familiar figure not far away was as grand and tall as a king, with an elegant aristocratic air. Although the first time had only just been given to him, at the moment he was so strange to her!<br /> <br /> At this time, there came another voice with some flattery: "Oh, so that's it. Young Master Smith, why didn't you say so earlier. I thought you had let Sonia down. After all, she loves you so much, and you married Tammy as soon as she fell ill. It's hard for her not to think too much. Tammy is so vicious that she won't donate her kidney to save her sister. And you're the only one who can control her!"<br /> <br /> Chapter2 So it's all a trick<br /> The speaker was Tammy's stepmother, who was named Sue.<br /> <br /> When Tammy was nine years old, Sue was brought home by her father along with her sister who was older than Tammy. That girl was also her father's biological daughter.<br /> <br /> In other words, not long after her father and mother got married, he already had had an affair with another woman and had a daughter outside.<br /> <br /> At the time, her mother was already suffering from depression due to the hardships she had had in the marriage. And as a result, the incident completely overwhelmed her, causing her to become more and more mentally ill. Finally, her mother desperately tried to throw her out of the car window in a major car accident, while she was burned to death in the car.<br /> <br /> By the time her body was taken out, it was all charred...<br /> <br /> Tammy was only ten years old...<br /> <br /> Her mother was killed by Sue and her daughter, and her face and life were ruined by them.<br /> <br /> And now, they had joined forces and wanted her kidney!<br /> <br /> How could they be so bad? How could they do this to her?<br /> <br /> What did she do wrong?<br /> <br /> Tammy's tears rolled down like a river that had burst its banks!<br /> <br /> Angus, did you know that I've remembered you since I was five years old!<br /> <br /> But I loved you so much, and you trampled on my affection like this!<br /> <br /> His cruelty shattered all her hopes, and her world fell into obscurity.<br /> <br /> She thought she'd made it, but when the fog had lifted, she found that the destination she'd been running to wasn't heaven, but hell!<br /> <br /> Tammy gritted her teeth desperately and ran away back to her room!<br /> <br /> Angus's eyes were deep and dark. His voice had turned cold, "Tammy's kidneys can only be used when it's necessary."<br /> <br /> When he possessed her tonight, she was shaking all the time. She was so thin and fragile, so how could she carry the kidney removal surgery.<br /> <br /> When Sue heard this, she was immediately unhappy, but she didn't dare to show her anger, "Young Master Smith, what do you mean? Didn't you say you'd let her donate her kidney before marrying her? But why did you go back on your word?"<br /> <br /> Angus frowned and said sternly, "I have no regrets. If another suitable kidney is found before the operation, I will divorce her."<br /> <br /> Divorce.<br /> <br /> The thought of these words seemed to hit him hard heavily.<br /> <br /> Sue was about to say something else. Suddenly Angus paled and said indifferently, "Go away and don't let Tammy doubt you."<br /> <br /> His tone was full of strong command that made Sue pale!<br /> <br /> Although she had decided that she was Angus's future mother-in-law, she still shivered, not daring to say anything more. She turned away but a light flashed in her eyes.<br /> <br /> She would never let Tammy go!<br /> <br /> ......<br /> <br /> Tammy huddled in the corner of the room with her arms wrapped around her, shivering.<br /> <br /> Angus came in, and found no one in the room. He searched around, and suddenly noticed the curtains trembling faintly.<br /> <br /> He lifted the curtains and saw Tammy sitting on the floor, hugging her knees as if she was in some kind of shock. Her face was pale as a sheet.<br /> <br /> Angus was startled, "Tammy, what are you doing here?"<br /> <br /> Tammy clenched her teeth desperately, and she stared at him with her red eyes.<br /> <br /> Angus frowned. He was confused. "What's wrong with you? Get up first"<br /> <br /> Chapter3 You give up<br /> He bent down and put his hands under her armpits and picked her up.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Tammy was agitated and pushed him away hard, "Get off me!"<br /> <br /> She almost growled out.<br /> <br /> "......"<br /> <br /> Her attitude was so strange. Did she know anything?<br /> <br /> Instantly, his eyes went cold, "Did you know?"<br /> <br /> Tammy clenched her fists in grief, "Yes!"<br /> <br /> "......"<br /> <br /> Angus said coldly, "In that case, there's no need to pretend loving."<br /> <br /> It was clear that things had been revealed, and his cold tone seemed to tell her that there was no need for him to pretend to be gentle with her anymore.<br /> <br /> The air went cold, and Tammy's whole body became top-heavy as if all her insides had been emptied!<br /> <br /> Suddenly, she was so out of breath that a sensation of her breath being blocked came over her, and she fell to the ground, covering her chest!<br /> <br /> Angus sensed something was wrong and immediately took her in his arms!<br /> <br /> "Tammy!" There was urgency in his voice.<br /> <br /> Tammy's breath quickened and she gripped the man's suit tie. Her tears gushed from her eyes, and her red eyes were full of indignation!<br /> <br /> "........"<br /> <br /> Angus didn't say much, but his face was unusually livid. He just picked Tammy up and put her on the bed.<br /> <br /> "Tammy, how are you feeling?" He patted her face gently, a fine layer of sweat covering his forehead.<br /> <br /> Tammy stared at him with wide and empty eyes. She gave him a sarcastic smile.<br /> <br /> If he'd been scared about her before, she'd have been happy. But now she just felt sick.<br /> <br /> He wasn't afraid she'd die, but he was afraid that he could not get her to sign the consent form!<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Tammy sat up in bed, pushed him away, and got right off the bed!<br /> <br /> Angus frowned. He easily caught her back with his long arms and held her in his arms. He hugged her from behind, and his eyes were dark, "Where do you want to go?"<br /> <br /> "You let go of me!" Tammy shouted!<br /> <br /> Finally, monstrous anger erupted and she tried almost with all her might to break the man's hands that held her. Her nails almost sank into the back of his hands.<br /> <br /> Angus frowned and a chill crossed his face as he said coldly, "Stop it. Calm down!"<br /> <br /> "........"<br /> <br /> He's got the nerve to think she was making a scene?<br /> <br /> Tammy gritted her teeth, veins bulging on her forehead as she hissed, "Angus, how could you cheat on my feelings like that?!"<br /> <br /> She hated him so much!<br /> <br /> Angus closed his eyes and his breathing became a little faster. He easily clamped around her in his embrace. His strong and muscular muscles pressed against her back through the suit and her nightgown. His heartbeat strongly that almost crushed her thin and frail body.<br /> <br /> In the end, he opened his cold and heartless eyes with a frost that couldn't be melted, "Yes, I married you for your kidney, but..."<br /> <br /> He seemed to be trying to explain something else, but the words wouldn't come out of his mouth.<br /> <br /> After all, he was doing it for her kidney. What else could he do to explain?<br /> <br /> "........"<br /> <br /> He had finally admitted it to her. He admitted his intention so neatly, so righteously!<br /> <br /> Tammy breathed a cold air. She bit down on her teeth, and her face was full of tears. The tears hid the scars on her face. She raged, "I won't give my kidney to Sonia. You give up!"<br /> <br /> His voice was also tinged with a hidden anger, and his strong, powerful arms around her became tighter, "Tammy, she's your sister. Why are you so cruel? It's just a kidney. You are not going to die!"<br /> <br /> Just a kidney?<br /> <br /> Why did he have the nerve to say that?<br /> <br /> ...<br /> &4&	LEARN_MORE	https://web.readnow.mobi/51691322-fb_contact-encp1	106206892171576	Love Story City	https://facebook.com/100083614308933	17,052	1	1,456,945,221,874,058	2024-04-28 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	1	1	Learn more	Love Story City	120210536366010022	web.readnow.mobi	NONE	image		https://web.readnow.mobi/51691322-fb_contact-encp15_5-0410-core2.html?adid={{ad.id}}&char=961225&accid=734914081743879	2024-04-25 02:15	https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/438160140_483491007335410_4907304500042759901_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=109&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=iIVw5-PrYBYQ7kNvgGdc_Ru&_nc_ht=scontent-mia3-2.xx&oh=00_AfCCHW76rqPTKYgelARw6_xc02QTrm_Smzv2OpjB-SBL2w&oe=66345B9D	person_profile	ReadNow	https://scontent-mia3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/437737601_3643417549204770_5101900953860990601_n.jpg?_nc_cat=106&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=X8DsxmYkGloQ7kNvgGR0ueD&_nc_ht=scontent-mia3-1.xx&oh=00_AfBGetYPdsbxUW2Lj14EmCpsRr9Fzr07Xe9HSEVlV8uZ4A&oe=66345BA5	3	Love Story City	2024-04-28 02:00	View Edit Delete

My husband will be back soon!"<br /> <br /> In the luxurious villa, Ethan Smith stood at the bedroom door, hearing the slightly hurried voice inside.<br /> <br /> He was very familiar with this voice, as it was his own wife, Sylvia Johnson.<br /> <br /> "He's just a loser. What can he do when he comes back? Even if he sees this, he'll have to put up with it!" A rough male voice entered Ethan's ears.<br /> <br /> Ethan stood at the door, his whole body trembling.<br /> <br /> Anger almost made him lose his mind.<br /> <br /> With a "bang,"<br /> <br /> His eyes were bloodshot, and he kicked the door open with one foot.<br /> <br /> In the room, a man and a woman were half-dressed.<br /> <br /> Seeing Sylvia's appeasing posture on the bed, Ethan couldn't contain his anger, and tears involuntarily flowed out.<br /> <br /> "Sylvia, why are you treating me like this!" Ethan's eyes were filled with pain as he clenched his teeth and stared at Sylvia.<br /> <br /> A hint of panic flashed in Sylvia's eyes, but she quickly calmed down.<br /> <br /> Instead, she looked at Ethan with an indescribable coldness.<br /> <br /> "Now that you've found out, I have nothing more to say." Sylvia sneered.<br /> <br /> "Why are you treating me like this? I've been with your family for three years, living worse than a dog! You asked me to squat, and I never dared to stand, but why did you betray me!"<br /> <br /> Ethan almost roared, his face covered in tears.<br /> <br /> Sylvia sneered, "No woman could like a useless loser like you."<br /> <br /> She turned to look at the muscular man beside her.<br /> <br /> "Do you know who he is? Gary Brown, the Brown family's young master! To be honest, we've been secretly together for a long time. If it weren't for my grandfather not allowing us to divorce, I would have kicked you out a long time ago!" A mocking look flashed in Sylvia's eyes.<br /> <br /> Hearing this, Ethan couldn't hold back his tears anymore.<br /> <br /> "For three years, I've been tiptoeing around, afraid of making you unhappy."<br /> <br /> "When you were hungry, I got up in the middle of the night to cook for you. You said you liked the flowers in South City, and I rode my electric bike for over an hour to pick them for you."<br /> <br /> "I..."<br /> <br /> "Enough!" Sylvia impatiently interrupted Ethan.<br /> <br /> Obviously, these once warm moments could not touch this heartless woman.<br /> <br /> "You think being nice to me is enough? If it weren't for my grandfather insisting on me marrying you, do you think I would have looked at you? A useless loser! Can't you see what you're made of!" Sylvia sneered.<br /> <br /> "Look at Gary Brown!" Sylvia pointed to the man beside her.<br /> <br /> "At such a young age, he already has assets worth nearly a hundred million! This time, he's even cooperating with the Taylor family from the Capital City! The Taylor family, do you know what that means!? Do you know what kind of influence the people in the Capital City have? With one word, they can make us soar!" Sylvia laughed coldly.<br /> <br /> "Why are you telling him about the Taylor family from the Capital City? Can a loser like him know about them?" Gary Brown looked at Ethan with a mocking face.<br /> <br /> Ethan's face was full of bitter smiles.<br /> <br /> He was really clueless about business, but he had heard of the Taylor family from the Capital City.<br /> <br /> The entire River City had been reporting on the matter recently, making it hard for Ethan not to know about it.<br /> <br /> Looking at Sylvia's beautiful but cold face, Ethan couldn't help but sob quietly.<br /> <br /> "I've been serving you for three years. Even if it were a dog, there should be some feelings..." Ethan choked.<br /> <br /> Sylvia snorted, "You're not even as good as a dog."<br /> <br /> Gary Brown taunted, "Idiot, if you're sensible, pretend you didn't see anything today, and the three of us can still live happily together. You'd still be eligible to serve your goddess."<br /> <br /> "If you don't know any better... just pack your things and get lost." Gary Brown looked down on Ethan, as if he were the real owner of the house.<br /> <br /> Ethan felt a sense of powerlessness.<br /> <br /> Three years ago, Sylvia's superstitious Grandfather Bill Johnson believed that Ethan would bring luck to the Johnson family, and invited him to become his grandson-in-law.<br /> <br /> It's been three years since Ethan married into the Johnson family, and during these three years, no one in the family, besides Grandfather, had ever looked up to Ethan.<br /> <br /> This made Ethan even more inferior, so he desperately tried to please the Johnson family, fearing that he might upset them.<br /> <br /> But in the end, this was the result.<br /> <br /> "I really am a useless loser." A self-mocking smile appeared on Ethan's lips.<br /> <br /> "After three years, I should have some backbone, right?" Ethan looked at the adulterous couple in front of him, a fierce determination in his eyes.<br /> <br /> "What? You can't take it?" Gary Brown noticed Ethan's look but was not afraid. Instead, he showed a mocking smile.<br /> <br /> Ethan stared at Gary, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth, "You beast, I'll fight you!"<br /> <br /> With that, Ethan rushed towards Gary with all his might!<br /> <br /> However, Ethan, who was physically weak, was no match for Gary.<br /> <br /> His punch didn't even land on Gary before he was kicked to the ground by Gary's foot.<br /> <br /> The intense pain in his abdomen made it almost impossible for Ethan to stand up."Damn it, you piece of trash still dare to fight me?" Gary Brown burst into anger.<br /> <br /> He rushed to Ethan Smith and began punching and kicking him.<br /> <br /> This only made Ethan Smith more desperate.<br /> <br /> He lay on the cold ground, allowing the fists to fall on him.<br /> <br /> "I'm living such a worthless life." Ethan Smith hugged his head, a bitter smile on his face.<br /> <br /> "I can't even seek revenge, I... I don't deserve to live..." Ethan Smith's eyes gradually became hollow.<br /> <br /> The endless punches and kicks caused Ethan Smith's mouth to bleed.<br /> <br /> "Enough, hitting such trash is simply an insult to you." Sylvia Johnson stopped Gary Brown and spoke in a delicate voice.<br /> <br /> Gary Brown spat on Ethan Smith's face and pointed at the door, saying, "Get the fuck out of here right now! Or I'll beat you to death!"<br /> <br /> With difficulty, Ethan Smith crawled up from the ground and walked out step by step.<br /> <br /> He hated! He hated the adulterous couple! And he hated himself for not being able to take revenge, for being worthless!<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith couldn't accept it, he couldn't just leave humiliated!<br /> <br /> "Sylvia, you'll regret this." Ethan turned around and said coldly.<br /> <br /> Gary Brown pointed at Ethan Smith and cursed, "Get the fuck out already, heard me?"<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and left the Johnson residence.<br /> <br /> At the door, he happened to meet his mother-in-law, Brenda Johnson, who had just returned.<br /> <br /> Brenda Johnson glanced at the Mercedes-Benz parked outside the door, seemingly understanding everything.<br /> <br /> "Mom..." Ethan Smith called out somewhat aggrieved.<br /> <br /> Brenda Johnson's gaze was as cold as ice.<br /> <br /> She waved her hand impatiently, saying, "Since you know it all, just accept it! To be honest, the entire Johnson family agrees that you should leave!"<br /> <br /> This made Ethan Smith even more desperate.<br /> <br /> "Is grandpa also agreeing?" Ethan Smith didn't want to give up.<br /> <br /> Brenda Johnson sneered, "This time, his agreement doesn't matter! The Brown family has already established a partnership with the Taylor Family of the Capital City! If we can get on this big ship, our Johnson family can also benefit!"<br /> <br /> "When this involves the development of the entire family, do you think just him, an old man, could change anything?" Brenda Johnson scoffed.<br /> <br /> "As for his talk about good luck, it's clearly just superstitious nonsense."<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith didn't say anything else.<br /> <br /> The indifference of the entire Johnson family left him heartbroken and lost.<br /> <br /> He wiped his mouth and walked out of the Johnson residence.<br /> <br /> The physical pain and the emotional blow were almost too much for Ethan Smith to bear.<br /> <br /> At last, he fainted on the street.<br /> <br /> At this moment,<br /> <br /> A Maybach with a license plate from the Capital City parked steadily in front of Ethan Smith.<br /> <br /> The car window slowly rolled down, a long-haired, elegant girl frowned at Ethan Smith who was lying on the ground.<br /> <br /> "Is he the fiance grandfather arranged for me?" The girl blinked her big eyes, carefully examining Ethan Smith.<br /> <br /> But seeing the miserable appearance of Ethan Smith, she couldn't help but feel somewhat disgusted.<br /> <br /> "Miss, are we... mistaken? Didn't the old man say that he must be an extraordinary person?" A man dressed as a bodyguard in the car frowned and said.<br /> <br /> Emily Taylor didn't say anything, waved her hand, and said, "Just bring him to the car first."<br /> <br /> "Yes, Miss." Several bodyguards quickly got out of the car and dragged Ethan Smith into the car.<br /> <br /> Looking at the pathetic appearance of the man in front of her, Emily Taylor's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.<br /> <br /> "Grandpa... are you really going to make me marry such a loser?" Emily Taylor couldn't help but sigh softly. In her mind, she recalled the words her grandfather had said before he left:<br /> <br /> "Emily, our Taylor family owes his family a favor! Without Ethan Smith's father, the Taylor family would never be where it is today!"<br /> <br /> "Ethan Smith's father left him a token, and he once told me to give it to him when he turned thirty."<br /> <br /> "Mr. Smith is a highly accomplished person, and I believe that his son will not be any worse. Emily, remember, always treat Ethan Smith kindly."<br /> <br /> Emily Taylor's mind was filled with her grandfather's advice, and her beautiful face showed a helpless smile.<br /> <br /> "If he really is someone with potential, I will agree to grandpa." Emily Taylor murmured in her heart.<br /> <br /> "But... if he's just a loser, I'm afraid I can't obey grandpa's orders." Emily Taylor sighed.<br /> <br /> She fondled a piece of green jade pendant, which was the token her grandfather had asked her to give Ethan Smith.<br /> <br /> Emily Taylor carefully put the jade pendant on Ethan Smith and then turned her head.<br /> <br /> "Returning the token, the Taylor family has kept its promise." Emily Taylor thought to herself.<br /> <br /> Yet, she hadn't noticed that the bloody jade pendant softly glowed and quickly melted into Ethan Smith's body as soon as it touched him.<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> The car slowly drove down the road.<br /> <br /> "Miss, the River City Lord and River City's business circle want to invite you to dinner." At this time, Emily Taylor's secretary suddenly spoke.<br /> <br /> Emily Taylor resumed her usual indifference.<br /> <br /> She coldly said: "Reject them all, take Ethan Smith to the hospital first."<br /> <br /> The secretary opened his mouth, smiling awkwardly: "Miss, you...aren't really going to marry such a loser, are you?"<br /> <br /> Hearing this, a hint of ice flashed through Emily Taylor's eyes.<br /> <br /> "Do I need to report how I make my decisions with you?" Emily Taylor coldly said.<br /> <br /> The secretary's face changed immediately, he hurriedly slapped himself and said, "Miss, I... overstepped my bounds."<br /> <br /> After speaking, Emily Taylor covered her mouth with her jade hand and started coughing violently.<br /> <br /> "Miss, it's time for you to take your medicine..." The secretary hurriedly reminded her.<br /> <br /> "Start the car." However, Emily Taylor did not pay any attention to his words and just gave the order expressionlessly.<br /> <br /> The car rushed towards the hospital.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Ethan Smith, who was unconscious, seemed to have a dream.<br /> <br /> In the dream, it was an endless pitch-black void.<br /> <br /> And in this darkness, there was a man, coldly staring at Ethan Smith.<br /> <br /> He had a towering stature, with an air of a sovereign, as if a true god had descended! Inspiring unparalleled reverence!<br /> <br /> "Where...where is this? And who are you?" Ethan Smith said, somewhat panicky.<br /> <br /> The man turned around, coldly looking at Ethan Smith.<br /> <br /> "I never thought that my son would be such a loser." The man said coldly.<br /> <br /> Son?<br /> <br /> Hearing this, Ethan Smith's heart felt like it was being stabbed by something!<br /> <br /> Since he was a child, Ethan Smith had never seen his parents!<br /> <br /> As for family affection, it was something he longed for but could never reach!<br /> <br /> Although he had never seen the man before, Ethan Smith felt an inexplicable closeness to him!<br /> <br /> "Are you...my father? Dad, I miss you so much..." Ethan Smith anxiously reached out, trying to touch his father.<br /> <br /> But his hand passed straight through him.<br /> <br /> "At the age of thirty, a man should have achieved something. My inheritance is now yours." The man coldly spoke.<br /> <br /> "If you're a failure, I believe the Taylor family will take care of you for the rest of your life, and I'll never see you."<br /> <br /> "If you have ambition, nothing in this world can stop you!"<br /> <br /> "I look forward to meeting you."<br /> <br /> After finishing these words, the scene before him began to fade away.<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith cried out like a madman: "Dad, don't go, Dad!!"<br /> <br /> But no matter how Ethan Smith shouted, he couldn't stop the scene from disappearing.<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith was devastated, he knelt on the ground, tears in his eyes, and in unbearable pain.<br /> <br /> He had always dreamed of meeting his birth parents, wanting to share his grievances like other people.<br /> <br /> But no matter what he did, he couldn't stop the collapse of the scene before him.<br /> <br /> Soon, a mysterious memory surged into Ethan Smith's mind!<br /> <br /> There were sacred medical arts, cultivation methods, and ancient and modern arcane techniques...<br /> <br /> In his dantian, a hint of green energy slowly flowed.<br /> <br /> Before Ethan Smith could react, everything went black before his eyes.<br /> <br /> By the time he woke up again, he was lying on a huge double bed.<br /> <br /> In front of him was a girl with long hair, fluttering in the wind, and slender legs.<br /> <br /> "You're awake?" Emily Taylor looked up and down at Ethan Smith, as if trying to see through him.<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith hurriedly sat up from the bed and nervously said: "Who... who are you?"<br /> <br /> Emily Taylor didn't seem to be in a hurry to reveal her identity, so she said: "My name is Emily, I found you passed out on the street and saved you."<br /> <br /> "But what I find strange is... the doctor said there's nothing wrong with you." Emily Taylor blinked her eyes, seemingly curious about this man.<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith frowned slightly, murmuring: "Could it be that it wasn't a dream just now?"<br /> <br /> Thinking of this, Ethan Smith quickly closed his eyes.<br /> <br /> As expected! The memory was still there! It seemed to be merging with his own!<br /> <br /> And the energy in his dantian showed no signs of disappearing!<br /> <br /> "It's really... true!" From desperation, hope ignited in Ethan Smith's heart!Medical scriptures, cultivation secret techniques... all of these could help Ethan Smith completely change his current predicament!<br /> <br /> "I saved you, and you're not even planning on saying thank you? You're really an impolite person." Emily Taylor rolled her eyes.<br /> <br /> Only then did Ethan Smith come back to his senses. He quickly got up and bowed to Emily Taylor, saying somewhat awkwardly, "Mis...Miss Emily, thank you for saving me..."<br /> <br /> Looking at Ethan Smith's embarrassed appearance, Emily Taylor couldn't help but laugh.<br /> <br /> For some reason, she suddenly felt that the silly man in front of her seemed a bit adorable.<br /> <br /> "Alright, I was just teasing you." Emily Taylor waved her hand.<br /> <br /> After saying that, Emily Taylor covered her mouth again and started coughing violently.<br /> <br /> At this moment, a man dressed like a doctor walked in from outside.<br /> <br /> "Miss, it's time for you to take your medicine." The doctor said, holding a medical box.<br /> <br /> Emily Taylor nodded.<br /> <br /> There was already warm water prepared on the table, and the doctor took out a whole table full of medicine.<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith watched Emily Taylor in front of him, and countless medical scriptures suddenly appeared in his mind.<br /> <br /> This made Ethan Smith feel a little excited.<br /> <br /> He hesitated for a moment, then walked up and asked, "Miss Emily, are you feeling unwell?"<br /> <br /> Emily Taylor glanced at Ethan Smith and casually said, "Yeah, I have asthma. I've had it since I was little."<br /> <br /> Asthma!<br /> <br /> Instantly, a treatment method appeared in Ethan Smith's mind!<br /> <br /> However, years of low self-esteem made Ethan Smith somewhat afraid to speak up.<br /> <br /> He just stood there, watching Emily Taylor finish taking all the medicine on the table.<br /> <br /> But after taking the medicine, Emily Taylor's symptoms did not improve at all.<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith watched this scene, took a deep breath, and gathered the courage to step forward, saying, "Miss Emily, would you let me have a try? Maybe I can cure your disease."<br /> <br /> Hearing these words, a touch of surprise flashed through Emily Taylor's beautiful eyes.<br /> <br /> Then she couldn't help but laugh, "I have asthma, it's incurable. You should know that, right?"<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith quickly explained, "I don't know how to explain it to you, but... I still want to give it a try. Maybe it'll work..."<br /> <br /> At this point, Emily Taylor's brow furrowed slightly.<br /> <br /> Even the doctor by her side scoffed, "Kid, you're not even a doctor. What makes you think you can cure her?"<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith's face turned completely red, looking rather embarrassed.<br /> <br /> "I've seen many people like you. You just think our miss is pretty and want to take advantage of her, don't you?" The doctor continued.<br /> <br /> "If I'm not mistaken, your treatment method requires skin-to-skin contact, right?"<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith opened his mouth, forcing himself to say, "It does need..."<br /> <br /> "Hahaha, Miss, you see, this kid is nothing more than a despicable wimp." The doctor sneered.<br /> <br /> Emily Taylor's face grew colder.<br /> <br /> She looked at Ethan Smith and asked, "Do you know the consequences of trying to take advantage of me?"<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith hurriedly defended himself, "No... that's not it. I really don't want to take advantage of you. I can actually cure your disease!"<br /> <br /> "What a joke," the doctor snorted.<br /> <br /> "Although asthma is not a serious illness, it's been a chronic problem that's difficult to cure! Miss, I suggest cutting off this kid's hand and throwing him out!" The doctor said coldly.<br /> <br /> Emily Taylor didn't say a word.<br /> <br /> She looked Ethan Smith up and down, thinking about something.<br /> <br /> "I can give you a chance," finally, Emily Taylor spoke.<br /> <br /> "But if there's no effect, you'll have a miserable end." Emily Taylor said, blinking her eyes.<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith could tell that Emily Taylor was not to be trifled with, but at this moment, he was full of confidence.<br /> <br /> He was also eager to test whether the medical scriptures in his mind were real or not.<br /> <br /> "Alright!" Ethan Smith nodded vigorously.<br /> <br /> "Miss, do you really believe him? He's obviously..."<br /> <br /> "Shut up!" The doctor wanted to say more, but Emily Taylor's sharp rebuke silenced him.<br /> <br /> The doctor immediately shut up, begrudgingly retreating to one side.<br /> <br /> "How do you want me to cooperate with you, Dr. Ethan?" Emily Taylor asked playfully.<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith's face turned red, and he whispered, "I... I need to put my hand on your chest..."<br /> <br /> After saying this, Ethan Smith's face was red all the way down to his neck.<br /> <br /> Lowering his head, the snowy white scene on Emily Taylor's chest was truly a beautiful sight.<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> "Kid, you really have some nerve!" The doctor was suddenly furious!<br /> <br /> In their hearts, Emily Taylor was an untouchable goddess, a heavenly beauty! How could they tolerate a useless fool dishonoring her?<br /> <br /> Even Emily's bodyguards took a step forward in unison!<br /> <br /> Emily looked at Ethan Smith with a somewhat icy expression on her face.<br /> <br /> After a moment of silence, Emily finally agreed.<br /> <br /> "If he's deceiving me, at least I can report back." Emily thought to herself.<br /> <br /> So, Emily lay on the bed, her white chest bare in front of Ethan Smith.<br /> <br /> Ethan blushed and walked over to Emily.<br /> <br /> He whispered, "Miss Emily, I... pardon me."<br /> <br /> Having said that, Ethan summoned his courage, reached out his hand, and slowly placed it on Emily's body.<br /> <br /> Emily was simply too beautiful! Compared to her, Sylvia Johnson was nothing!<br /> <br /> And her figure was truly extraordinary, making it difficult for anyone to control themselves upon seeing her.<br /> <br /> The doctor and bodyguards nearby were practically bulging their eyes out.<br /> <br /> If it weren't for Emily's forbearance, they probably would have minced Ethan into pieces!<br /> <br /> Ethan suppressed his wild thoughts and focused on stabilizing his mind.<br /> <br /> Following the method in the medical scriptures, he channeled the qi in his dantian like a swimming dragon and used it.<br /> <br /> A warm current flowed from Ethan's palm and slowly entered Emily's body.<br /> <br /> Emily only felt warmth, and her entire body was slightly heated, as if she was submerged in a hot spring.<br /> <br /> Time passed by the second, and sweat began to roll down Ethan's forehead.<br /> <br /> In the blink of an eye, ten minutes had passed.<br /> <br /> This made Emily somewhat angry.<br /> <br /> There had to be a limit to taking advantage! Wasn't it enough?<br /> <br /> Moreover, besides the warmth in her body, Emily hardly noticed any improvement!<br /> <br /> On the contrary, she felt breathless and stifled in her chest, unable to help but cough!<br /> <br /> "It seems that grandpa really overestimated him." Emily secretly shook her head in her heart.<br /> <br /> At this moment, Ethan finally took his hand away from Emily's body.<br /> <br /> Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he whispered, "Miss Emily, I've just finished your treatment. You should recover in about ten minutes."<br /> <br /> Emily sat up on the bed and couldn't help but sneer, "Ten minutes to recover? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"<br /> <br /> After saying this, Emily coughed violently again, her face turning somewhat pale.<br /> <br /> Ethan stood there, looking uneasy and not knowing where to put his hands.<br /> <br /> "Miss, let us chop him up!" The burly bodyguards shouted.<br /> <br /> However, Emily waved her hand and glanced at the clock on the wall, saying, "I'll give him ten minutes."<br /> <br /> Ethan was also unsure deep down.<br /> <br /> This fantastic encounter made it hard for Ethan to distinguish between reality and a dream.<br /> <br /> The bodyguards came forward and surrounded Ethan, as if fearing that he would run away.<br /> <br /> In the blink of an eye, nine minutes had passed.<br /> <br /> Emily looked at the clock and coldly said, "It seems you really are lying to me. How was it? Did you enjoy touching me?"<br /> <br /> Ethan couldn't help but give a bitter smile, knowing that there was no point in explaining himself at this point, so he simply said nothing.<br /> <br /> The bodyguards stepped forward, seemingly ready to take action.<br /> <br /> There was no panic on Ethan's face.<br /> <br /> He had completely lost hope in the world. Death, perhaps, would be a relief.<br /> <br /> "Forget it." At this point, Emily waved her hand.<br /> <br /> "For some reason, I'll spare your life, but don't let me see you again." Emily said coldly.<br /> <br /> Ethan didn't say much; he stood up and bowed to Emily.<br /> <br /> "Miss Emily, I'm sorry for bothering you." After saying this, Ethan turned around and prepared to leave.<br /> <br /> "Miss, are we really letting him go?" After Ethan left, the bodyguards said with dissatisfaction.<br /> <br /> Emily glanced at them without saying a word.<br /> <br /> "Consider it a favor to his father." Emily sighed with some regret, but there was still a hint of disappointment on her face.<br /> <br /> Because before she came to River City, her grandpa had praised Ethan Smith to the skies, which filled Emily's heart with expectations.<br /> <br /> "Grandpa, it seems you really misjudged him." Emily sighed softly.<br /> <br /> At this moment, Emily suddenly felt a wave of warmth!<br /> <br /> Then, she coughed once – a mouthful of black filth spat out from her mouth!<br /> <br /> "Miss, are you alright?"<br /> <br /> "What the hell did that guy do! I'm going to catch him right now!"<br /> <br /> "I want to skin him alive!"<br /> <br /> Emily, however, quickly waved her hand.<br /> <br /> She felt her chest, surprised to find that the suffocating sensation that had lingered for years was gone! The itchiness in her throat had also completely disappeared!<br /> <br /> "It really worked?" A touch of surprise appeared on Emily's cold and beautiful face.<br /> <br /> "Quick, go and bring him back!" Emily hurriedly ordered.<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> Although the bodyguards didn't understand the situation, they didn't dare to go against Emily Taylor's wishes and quickly chased after Ethan Smith.<br /> <br /> At this moment, Ethan was aimlessly walking along the street, looking extremely desperate.<br /> <br /> He didn't even know where he should go.<br /> <br /> Home? He definitely couldn't go back there. Would he end up living on the streets?<br /> <br /> "Dad, I've let you down," Ethan thought of the man in his dream.<br /> <br /> Just then, a Bentley drove up swiftly, blocking Ethan's way!<br /> <br /> Then, four or five bodyguards jumped out of the car.<br /> <br /> "Don't go!" The bodyguards blocked Ethan's path.<br /> <br /> "Miss Taylor wants you to go back with us," They said expressionlessly.<br /> <br /> Ethan thought Emily wouldn't let him off the hook, so he said with a bitter smile, "I'll take responsibility for what I've done. I'll go back with you."<br /> <br /> So, Ethan got into the car with them.<br /> <br /> There was silence throughout the ride.<br /> <br /> Soon, a burly bodyguard gripped Ethan's arm and brought him before Emily.<br /> <br /> "Miss Taylor, I've caught him for you!" The bodyguard pushed Ethan in front of Emily.<br /> <br /> Emily frowned slightly.<br /> <br /> She slowly stood up and walked to the bodyguard.<br /> <br /> "Who told you to treat him like this?" Emily asked coldly.<br /> <br /> The bodyguard was taken aback, stammering, "I...I..."<br /> <br /> "Apologize to Mr. Smith," Emily said coldly.<br /> <br /> "Miss Taylor, I..."<br /> <br /> "I told you to apologize!" Emily interrupted the bodyguard's words with a sharp rebuke!<br /> <br /> The bodyguard's face turned red.<br /> <br /> Apologizing to such a waste of space like Ethan against his will.<br /> <br /> But no one dared to disobey Emily's orders, so he reluctantly bowed down.<br /> <br /> "So...sorry, Mr. Smith," The bodyguard bent down, not even daring to raise his head.<br /> <br /> Ethan quickly replied, "Miss Taylor, it's fine. It's not his fault. Please, let him stand up..."<br /> <br /> Emily finally nodded and coldly said, "You all can leave now."<br /> <br /> Everyone left the room one after another.<br /> <br /> Emily opened a bottle of red wine, poured a glass for Ethan, and then smiled, "I never expected that you'd be a skillful doctor."<br /> <br /> Ethan was surprised and asked happily, "Miss Taylor, does that mean... your illness is cured?"<br /> <br /> "Or what?" Now it was Emily's turn to be surprised.<br /> <br /> "That's great, that's great!" Ethan's heart was reignited in an instant!<br /> <br /> It seemed that everything was real!<br /> <br /> "But I'm curious, with your medical skills, how did you end up like this?" Emily asked with interest.<br /> <br /> Ethan sighed softly upon hearing her words.<br /> <br /> "Miss Taylor, I don't know how to explain it to you..." Ethan said with a bitter smile.<br /> <br /> He couldn't say that he had a dream and suddenly acquired medical skills, right? People would think he's a fool if he said that.<br /> <br /> However, Emily thought Ethan was just being modest and low-key, which instead increased her liking for him.<br /> <br /> "Skillful but unprincipled?" Emily joked.<br /> <br /> Ethan gave an awkward laugh but didn't speak.<br /> <br /> "Tell me, how do you want me to repay you? Money? Or something else?" Emily asked playfully, as if hinting at something.<br /> <br /> But Ethan quickly waved his hands, "Miss Taylor, I don't need anything. You saved me; I should be the one repaying you."<br /> <br /> "Really? You don't want anything?" Emily smiled.<br /> <br /> "No matter what it is, I can agree to it, you know," Emily's eyes were filled with anticipation.<br /> <br /> Ethan still shook his head, "I really don't need anything. Thank you for your kindness."<br /> <br /> Hearing Ethan's answer, a glimmer of surprise flashed in Emily's eyes.<br /> <br /> It seemed that Ethan Smith, at the very least, was a kind and sincere man.<br /> <br /> Just then, Ethan's phone suddenly rang.<br /> <br /> Seeing the caller ID, Ethan's face didn't look too good.<br /> <br /> It was a phone call from Sylvia Johnson.<br /> <br /> Ethan answered the phone and walked aside.<br /> <br /> Once the call connected, Sylvia's harsh voice came through, "Are you dead yet? If you're not dead, hurry up and get back here!"<br /> <br /> Such coldness angered Ethan.<br /> <br /> He gritted his teeth and said, "After what you've done, why should I go back?"<br /> <br /> Sylvia on the other end burst into laughter.<br /> <br /> "Ethan Smith, don't tell me you thought I wanted you to come back? I'm telling you to come back to sign our divorce papers!" Sylvia sneered.<br /> <br /> "You better not cling to me, or Gary Brown will kill you!" Sylvia snorted.<br /> <br /> Ethan's fists clenched unconsciously.<br /> <br /> He gritted his teeth and said, "Sylvia, you're an animal! Don't worry, I won't bother you! But I'm telling you, you'll definitely regret this!"<br /> <br /> "Heh, the thing I regret the most is marrying a loser like you," Sylvia sneered.<br /> <br /> Then, she hung up the phone.<br /> <br /> Ethan's expression was complicated.<br /> <br /> It was impossible not to have feelings after three years.<br /> <br /> But more than that, it was humiliation and anger.<br /> <br /> "What's wrong?" Emily asked with a smile as she took a sip of red wine.<br /> <br /> Ethan shook his head and said, "Miss Taylor, I... I need to go home. There's something I have to deal with..."<br /> <br /> Emily blinked and asked, "Divorce?"<br /> <br /> Ethan was surprised and asked, "How did you know?"<br /> <br /> "I guessed," Emily casually replied.<br /> <br /> "I'll go with you," Emily stood up and offered.<br /> <br /> "No...no need," Ethan waved his hands hastily.<br /> <br /> Emily persistently replied, "I'll go with you. Don't make a fuss."<br /> <br /> With no other choice, Ethan followed Emily out of the house.<br /> <br /> As soon as they stepped out, Emily's secretary approached her.<br /> <br /> He whispered into Emily's ear, "Miss Taylor, the Chuzzle Province governor and the commander of the Chuzzle Battle Zone have arrived and invited you to a dinner..."<br /> <br /> Hearing this, Emily couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.<br /> <br /> She rubbed her pale forehead and muttered, "What a bother... tell them to wait a bit. I'll be there later."<br /> <br /> "Yes, Miss," the secretary nodded in response.<br /> <br /> Afterward, Emily drove up to Ethan.<br /> <br /> "Get in," Emily beckoned with her hand.<br /> <br /> Ethan couldn't refuse and got into the car.<br /> <br /> Soon, Ethan arrived at the Johnson family's entrance.<br /> <br /> "Miss Taylor, I'm home. Thank you for bringing me here," Ethan got out of the car and said politely.<br /> <br /> To Ethan's surprise, Emily also got out of the car.<br /> <br /> She flicked her hair back and smiled generously, "I'll come in with you."<br /> <br /> "Huh?" Ethan was taken aback.<br /> <br /> Emily smiled, "I want to see what your family is like."<br /> <br /> ...<br /> <br /> This made Ethan Smith feel very embarrassed.<br /> <br /> Because he knew very well that once he went home, he would definitely be humiliated.<br /> <br /> Ethan didn't want anyone to see him in this pathetic state.<br /> <br /> However, Emily Taylor seemed to see through Ethan's thoughts.<br /> <br /> She chuckled, "Some difficulties, as long as you face them, are no longer difficult, right?"<br /> <br /> Ethan took a deep breath, nodded, and then walked into the house with Emily.<br /> <br /> In the living room, the family gathered around.<br /> <br /> Gary Brown openly held Sylvia Johnson in his arms.<br /> <br /> But instead of being reproachful, Ethan's mother-in-law, Brenda Johnson, brought Gary tea and water.<br /> <br /> This scene made it impossible for Ethan to remain calm.<br /> <br /> He clenched his fists, and just as he was about to speak, Emily pulled on Ethan's arm and shook her head slightly.<br /> <br /> Ethan looked at Emily, suppressing his anger.<br /> <br /> "Yo, we're not even divorced yet, and you've already found a little slut?" Sylvia looked at Emily with some displeasure in her eyes.<br /> <br /> Although she had no feelings for Ethan, seeing him find someone else so quickly made her extremely unhappy.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Gary stared at Emily, almost mesmerized.<br /> <br /> Because this woman was just too beautiful!<br /> <br /> No matter her figure, her appearance, or her temperament, they were all irresistible!<br /> <br /> Compared to her, Sylvia at his side instantly paled in comparison.<br /> <br /> "This is my friend, please show some respect." Ethan said coldly.<br /> <br /> Sylvia snorted lightly, ignored Ethan, and instead sarcastically said, "Tsk tsk, girl, you really have no taste for picking up something I've cast away. Do you know that he is just a useless loser?"<br /> <br /> Emily didn't get angry. She slightly brushed her hair and said calmly, "Incompetent women rely on men to rise to power, I'm not like you."<br /> <br /> Upon hearing this, Sylvia was instantly enraged!<br /> <br /> "You!" Sylvia was trembling with anger, but she couldn't find any words to refute!<br /> <br /> Gary looked at Emily, swallowing his saliva. It was impossible not to be attracted to such a beauty.<br /> <br /> "Miss, you don't look like an ordinary person. May I ask boldly, what business do you do?" Gary asked with a smile.<br /> <br /> Emily thought for a moment and said, "I do all kinds of business, real estate, investment, internet projects, and so on."<br /> <br /> "Real estate?" Gary's eyes suddenly brightened.<br /> <br /> He said somewhat proudly, "Miss, do you know that recently the Taylor Family of the Capital City is coming to our River City for development?"<br /> <br /> Emily nodded calmly, "I know."<br /> <br /> Gary said with some pride, "I'm not hiding anything. My Brown family has already got the chance to cooperate with the Taylor family! Miss, are you interested in working with me?"<br /> <br /> Gary's intention was clear as day. He wanted to use the Taylor family to tempt Emily.<br /> <br /> But instead of being grateful, Emily "pfffft" laughed out loud.<br /> <br /> "The Brown family, right? Okay, I'll remember that." Emily laughed.<br /> <br /> Gary thought he had a chance, and his heart was overjoyed. He took out a business card and said, "If you need anything, feel free to contact me."<br /> <br /> "What are you doing!" Sylvia said unhappily.<br /> <br /> Gary coughed and quietly stepped aside.<br /> <br /> Sylvia took out a divorce agreement and slammed it in front of Ethan.<br /> <br /> "Sign this, and I'll have nothing to do with you." Sylvia snorted coldly.<br /> <br /> Ethan clenched his fists, stared fiercely at Sylvia, and said, "Sylvia, you will definitely regret this."<br /> <br /> "Enough, stop wasting time!" Sylvia said impatiently.<br /> <br /> Ethan didn't say anything more. He picked up the pen, quickly signed his name, and then threw it at Sylvia."Sooner or later, I will make you two adulterers kneel before me and apologize!" Ethan Smith's eyes were full of bloodshot. He would never forget this humiliation in his life.<br /> <br /> However, Sylvia Johnson and Gary Brown couldn't help but burst into laughter.<br /> <br /> "Idiot, we're about to collaborate with the Taylor family, and we might even become the richest people in River City! And you? You're just a worthless loser!" Sylvia Johnson mocked.<br /> <br /> Ethan Smith took a deep breath, said nothing, and walked out with Emily Taylor.<br /> <br /> Once they got into the car, Ethan couldn't hold back anymore.<br /> <br /> He clenched his teeth tightly: "You just wait!"<br /> <br /> Now with the inheritance in his mind, Ethan was full of confidence.<br /> <br /> At that moment, Emily Taylor suddenly asked, "Do you hate them?"<br /> <br /> Ethan glanced at Emily and smiled bitterly, "Any man would collapse from such humiliation."<br /> <br /> Emily blinked her eyes, as if deep in thought.<br /> <br /> Later, Emily drove Ethan to the Dragon Rising Community in the center of River City.<br /> <br /> She handed Ethan a key and pointed to a nearby villa, "You can stay here for now."<br /> <br /> Ethan looked up in astonishment at such a luxurious house.<br /> <br /> He shook his head, "Miss Emily, this house is too good... I can't accept it.."<br /> <br /> Emily Taylor shrugged, "This is already my worst house."<br /> <br /> Ethan was speechless.<br /> <br /> At the moment, he really had nowhere else to go, so he accepted Emily's key.<br /> <br /> "Miss Emily, I will never forget your kindness," Ethan said, gripping the key with determination in his eyes.<br /> <br /> Emily rolled her eyes, "Fool, focus on taking care of yourself first."<br /> <br /> With that, Emily drove away from there.<br /> <br /> At dusk, Emily rode in a Maybach with a license plate from the Capital City to a dinner party.<br /> <br /> This dinner gathered almost all the big shots in Chuzzle Province! Even River City's richest man could only serve tea on the side.<br /> <br /> On the way, Emily leaned on her hand, lost in thought.<br /> <br /> "Miss, do you really want to marry that loser?" The secretary couldn't help but ask.<br /> <br /> Emily glanced at him and said, "To be honest, I am starting to believe my grandfather's words."<br /> <br /> "Believe the old Master's words?" The secretary was somewhat anxious.<br /> <br /> "He's obviously a useless loser! How can he compare to those elegantly dressed young men in the Capital City?" The secretary reminded urgently.<br /> <br /> Emily shook her head, "I don't think so. You see, he has such amazing skills but he's so modest, and... His life is so difficult now, but he didn't ask for any reward for saving me."<br /> <br /> "If your wife humiliated you like this, what would you do?" Emily asked.<br /> <br /> The secretary frowned and snorted, "I would definitely not let them off!"<br /> <br /> "Right!" Emily laughed.<br /> <br /> "He didn't ask me for help, which means he still has integrity," Emily smiled.<br /> <br /> The secretary muttered, "Maybe he just put up with it."<br /> <br /> "No, I think he will achieve something great in the future," Emily's eyes were filled with anticipation.<br /> <br /> The secretary smiled bitterly, "The future? Even if he worked hard for ten lifetimes, he might not be able to compare to those elegantly dressed young men in the Capital City."<br /> <br /> "That's not necessarily true." Emily shook her head, "Boys... Just give them some time."<br /> <br /> As she said this, Emily suddenly changed the topic, "By the way, do we have a company called the Brown family in our list of collaborators?"<br /> <br /> The secretary quickly checked his notebook and nodded, "Yes, Miss. Indeed, the Brown family is very sincere and their company is top-notch in River City. They're a good partner."<br /> <br /> Emily "Oh"ed and without thinking said, "Kick them out."<br /> ...

The burning pain in my back and down my left leg... It was bad. Really bad. I was at the end of my rope. I always would get afraid I was going to need to get surgery - it drove me nuts trying to figure out how to stop thinking about it because that's all I did was think about it. And I really think that made it worse. Then I found my guardian angel - Abby. Ok, she is really just our friend and we were at a backyard get-together. When she mentioned that she had sciatica and had found relief, I was really interested. Obviously. “It was this video I found - real dramatic stuff - and some bizarre experiment…” She went on a little, but she said she would send me the link (it is below). “I guess what finally convinced me to give it a try was that major hospitals like Mount Sinai Hospital and the University of Rochester Medical Center have put their reputations behind recommending some of the ingredients for sciatica.” “Just watch it, there is a guarantee and it is all natural,” she said, “so try it. All I can say, it worked for me.” Well, I watched the video - that night - and well, it has been like a mute button. Relief, calmness. I want to cry, I am so happy. I can sleep in peace at night without any worries. I recommend this to anyone who is suffering like I was. The link is below.

Victoria blocked the young woman's way.<br /> "I don't have any affairs with you Victoria. Where's Devon?" Ariel slowly enunciated trying to keep her cool.<br /> "He wouldn't waste even a little time with you. Leave!" Victoria dismissed her.<br /> "Devon! I know you're here! Please, let me explain!" Ariel continued shouting and pleading at the same time.<br /> "Shameless woman! LEAVE!!" The matriarch shouted.<br /> "No!"<br /> "You! You're the reason for all of these! You biss!" Ariel's patience suddenly depleted when she saw the wicked woman.<br /> "Devon!" The visitor hugged the man and pleaded with him.<br /> "Don't you dare lay a hand on her." Devon said without sparing a glance at the woman and quickly distanced himself from Ariel.<br /> "Why----"<br /> "She's pregnant with Devon's child," Victoria answered Ariel's unfinished question.<br /> "Noooooo!!!!" <br /> ————————<br /> Natalia's POV<br /> Oily skin? Check.<br /> Chapped lips? Check.<br /> Dry hair? Very check.<br /> This is me now. Natalia Yushkova. After being married for three freaking years, my marriage slowly ripped apart.<br /> Having the name of Yushkova attached to yours can make you into another whole person. Everything must be precise or much better--- perfect. All eyes are on you waiting for you to make mistake and be taunt countless of times.<br /> It all happened to me. And I cannot recall how many times. Thanks for my two-faced bestfriend that has been ALWAYS there for me whenever something funny happens.<br /> Oh yes. Always.<br /> Even inside our own home. We are currently residing at the Yushkova mansion. We never separated from my husband's parents. Never got to design our own bedroom, never got to do shopping for our curtains and never got to choose a paint for our own wall.<br /> Every move inside the house was being monitored. Heck, even our honeymoon was not even special and sacred.<br /> As I've said, my best friend, Ariel Zippi who's been with me through good and worst times, was and will always be compared to me.<br /> My mother-in-law, Victoria, would deliberately state at the whole family gatherings how she wish she has a daughter-in-law like Ariel. To the point she invited her to have a long term vacation at the Yushkova manor. Very considerate. I know!<br /> Being only a twenty-three year old housewife is not much of a great honor for me anymore. Most of the time, I am deprived of going out with my friends and seeing my own family.<br /> I have wasted my married life being the perfect wife I could never be for my husband, Devon and a perfect in-law his family could ever dreamed of.<br /> My husband keeps himself busy at the business empire his father, Euro, founded. I only see him every midnight and when my alarm hits six o'clock in the morning, he's already gone for work. He never defended me once and well, that's how life is unfair to me.<br /> As for the rest of his family, they treated me like a wall flower. Only necessary on gatherings such as tonight as well as in the moments of bantering.<br /> Later, we're having a celebration for our good-for-nothing wedding anniversary. Can't wait.<br /> Enough of this pretentious blissful household, this is one of few times that I will see my family. Oh how much I've missed them.<br /> Victoria sent a team of make up and fashion guru inside the master's bedroom to make sure I will be presentable in everyone's eyes. The experts looked at me from head to toe and their eyes expressed a shock tone. I'm not a ghost.<br /> You see, my skin is now pale white and my once toned body was reduced to a fragile looking one. I lost my sense of fashion and no one taught or criticized me about it. Totally invisible.<br /> "Natalia. So nice to see you. It's been few years since your wedding day." The fashion expert, Ziv, uttered.<br /> I didn't answer but gave him a peck on his cheeks in return to the same gesture he initiated.<br /> "Where are those clothes that I've pledged to give you every month?" He questioned me unhappily as he scanned me circling my body.<br /> Really? Hmm. Now I know where Ariel brought 'her' collectible custom made clothes from.<br /> "I've given it to a really close friend of mine. You know me, I don't want to repeat clothes. Forgive me?" I replied shrugging my shoulders and walked gracefully to my dresser.<br /> "Of course gem." Ziv answered. He was one of those few persons that I trust. He once told me that he knows what a true gem is when he sees one. He even called Ariel a barbie and a leech to which he earned a scolding from me back on the day of my wedding. He really do know what he says.<br /> Milda, the make up artist and also an elite in the industry, had done a great job on moisturizing my skin before caking me up and made my skin glow with no effort.<br /> "Many thanks to you two." I said from the bottom of my heart as I scanned myself on the mirror after three hours of beautification. There's no more trace of a haggard looking housewife. A glowing and fierce woman has resurfaced instead. My old self.<br /> "Ziv, as promised, I will give you three of my sketch designs." I uttered to the man.<br /> "Are you serious?! Give me! Give them to me!" He panicked in a good way and raised up his two hands to received from me.<br /> I walked towards my wardrobe chuckling and opened my vault. And there it is. My handmade folder full of sketches of clothes and jewelries. I have piles of it since it's only once a year that Ziv and I can converse and get together. The Yushkovas tapped my mobile phone and put tracker into it. Same goes with my laptop.<br /> Ziv made an 'N' clothing line bearing my designs that I have gifted him back in the days of me being a maiden.<br /> "Thank you for these my gem. My competitors will salivate again with these creations. Do not worry, the profit of N line is secured on your personal account under your maiden name." He winked at me.<br /> "I know I can trust you my friend." I uttered grinning.<br /> A secret. I earned millions from those sketches. I said to Ziv that I only need a portion of the gains but he gave me eighty percent instead. He said I deserved it as Ziv treated me as his consultant and that his name will be at the peak once my designs materialized. Which it did. He's now a worldwide respected fashion guru and creator.<br /> "Milda, as for you, a set of limited artist-designed jewelry by yours truly." I gave her a simple black box containing the trinkets. I owned a jewelry shop from my unmarried days---The Belle Shop. I have my dummy owner and CEO, Trish Vene, to take over the business before I got married.<br /> Why? Because the Yushkova family drafted a prenuptial agreement to the distate of Zimmer household, my family. So as to appeased my parents, I was forced to let go of my wealthy aspirations in life to protect what's mine and give a face to my family. Which I never regretted and I'm thankful for everyday.<br /> Seeing both of my friends joyful and satisfied, I've made my way to the party.<br /> As I descend, I was thinking of the last straw that ruined my daydreams of having a future loving family. It was when my unborn child died. My angel was just two months old, I believe, when I miscarriaged.<br /> At first, I didn't know that I was pregnant. Only my mother-in-law and bestfriend knew my real situation. I was naive to believed that I was sick and should take medications which harmed my angel on the process. Two years after, one of the maidservants told me of my real condition but was too late.<br /> She secretly brought the supposed-to-be-thrown ultrasound result from the hands of Victoria and proved that I was with an unborn child.<br /> Later that day, I cursed myself from being innocent from those things and let myself be a victim of those two vile women.<br /> From that day on, I wailed at unimaginable agony and saw the world in black and white.<br /> Deedee, the maid that confessed to me, served me faithfully from that day onwards. She's been my eyes and ears inside the mansion with no reward of bonus in return because she felt guilty at what happened to me.<br /> I've waited so long for this moment. The moment when I can be free of this narcissistic household. My patient tank has been empty for several months. I cannot take a little bit of mockery from them anymore. I've been a good wife and a person.<br /> I can no longer be.<br /> Wearing my Ziv tailored black evening gown adorned with my own limited edition of jewelry and a three-inch stiletto, I've graced the grand stairs of the Yushkova mansion looking for my husband.<br /> "Now, where is that cheater?"<br /> NATALIA'S POV<br /> Scanning the room, I quickly saw my spouse with none other than my bestfriend Ariel. From afar, you can observe that they are such a great pair. of Leeches.<br /> Devon, as always, looks dashing in his three piece black armani suit. He's such a good looking man in my eyes even up to now. No one can compare to him. His firm body and cold aura added to his oozing appeal.<br /> Clinging on his left arm is Ariel who wore a white evening gown in contrast to her dark alter ego. Victoria is on his right side and smiling like a goof to please everyone her husband and son is talking to. On my mother-in-law's right side is Euro who was talking with other business tycoons. A happy family indeed.<br /> I looked pass them and finally saw the apples of my eyes. The Zimmer family.<br /> Making my way to them, my father already saw me.<br /> "Little monster, I've missed you." Daniel, my dear father, uttered while hugging me tightly. I've missed him so much. My mother was no more of this world but I've never felt incomplete having him as a parent.<br /> "Piglet!" A brunette adonis-like man joined the family hug. He's my big brother, Jake, a bachelor but not a womanizer. He's a one-woman man just like my father.<br /> "You're skinny. Are you eating?" Jake voiced out scanning me from head to toe.<br /> "And you're nearing thirties, when can I have a niece or nephew? Don't worry I'm on a diet." I said in one breath and winked. My brother zipped his mouth with my first argument.<br /> "Where's Devon?" My father asked changing the topic. I just shrugged and got a drink from one of the walking servers.<br /> "That scum!" Jake hissed looking beyond me. I don't need to see who was at the receiving end of his cold stares. The leechers.<br /> I just smiled full of warmth. By the boost of the spirit drink that traveled through my throat, I felt a little bit courageous for the good show later.<br /> "I don't mind." I flatly said to them. My father looked at me knowingly and seemed to understand what I was communicating. You're absolutely right father. I already came to my senses.<br /> Devon and I had an arranged marriage. My father planned it because of my big infatuation with my husband. The Yushkova unfortunately agreed to the arrangement since my family's company is such a big catch.<br /> We have a technology and systems company. Currently, we are at the top and hoping for the years to come, too.<br /> Sadly, I didn't know any hacking techniques since I was on the artsy side of the spectrum. I wasn't able to study the intricacies of systems and hardwares for my emotions clouded my sober mind three years ago.<br /> A clink of glasses can be heard and I made my way to my dear husband.<br /> Standing before him, I felt nothing. I didn't spare him a look and impartially listened to the barbie who's giving the toast. How sweet.<br /> I wasn't paying attention for my mind floats to what I've prepared for later. I suddenly felt an arm encircling my fragile waist and was forced to look at the man I onced love.<br /> I was taken aback when his lips crushed into mine. It was warm and loving. I must be hallucinating.<br /> Our peck lasted longer than I have expected. I responded thinking I should act the part of a loving wife for this one last time.<br /> His peck was pleading and have a sense of longing but to no avail, my heart never falter and was cold. He licked my lower lip to ask for an entrance which I didn't grant. Cheater.<br /> When the peck ended, I tried to strengthen my legs and faced the crowd and bowed my head. I never looked at him during the process.<br /> For the audience, I looked like a demure wife after the magical moment which they accepted without any suspicion.<br /> 'Happy anniversary!' All of them greeted at the same time. I gave my best smile and planned to stay away from my husband for the rest of the night.<br /> He tightened his gripped on my waist.<br /> "Stay....Please...." Devon said. I looked at him and saw longing in his eyes. Oh, how much I've waited for that kind of look all these years. Too late.<br /> I leaned forward and whispered to his ear, "Ariel is looking." He loosened his arm that was clinging to my waist. I turned away and headed to the portable bar the party supplier had prepared.<br /> DEVON'S POV<br /> I saw her descending from the stairs. My lovely wife. She's a sight to behold with the black evening gown that accentuated her body on the right places. I felt warm looking at her and I can feel my lips curving upwards.<br /> She looked at my way and I gasped expecting she will come to me. She then averted her eyes to somewhere else in my dismay.<br /> "Mr. Yushkova, Mr. Wei of Cruise International." My assistant introduced which made me snapped back and discussed brief business matters with the senior capitalist.<br /> I unconsciously averted my eyes from the man and scanned the hall for my wife.<br /> I was transfixed with her smile, laughs and hugs while conversing with Daniel and Jake. How I wished I was the one receiving those precious reactions.<br /> Bored with the discussions around me, I have decided to approach her and my second family. My mother stopped my tracks.<br /> "Where are you going?" She whispered to me.<br /> "Going to Natalia." My wife.<br /> "There are more important things at hand here. These capitalists are rare to be seen and hard to interact with. We must make a good and lasting impression." My mother reminded me that she purposely invited all these money makers at the expense of our anniversary. I sighed. My father gave his nod in agreement, too.<br /> I stared again to my wife from afar. Maybe after this, we will have the time of our own. For sure.<br /> After quite awhile, to my relief, Ariel let go of my arm and proposed a toast for Natalia and I.<br /> Then I saw my wife gracefully walked towards me holding her head high. Her long dark hair was bouncing on every step and her hips mildly swayed as she stride forward. She is and will always be the phoenix in my eyes. No one can compare to her.<br /> I know I have been busy with our company expanding it to what it is today. Now, I have the luxury to spent more time with my wife.<br /> Standing beside me, Natalia never looked my way. I felt something's wrong. I instinctively put my one arm around her waist.<br /> Look at me. I silently pleaded.<br /> At last, she spared me her eyes but they were void of any expression. Flashes of bitter memories of her being laughed at and bullied crossed my mind.<br /> No. My mind shouted knowing what that look means.<br /> Without waiting for the start of the actual toast, I crushed my lips to hers. In my surprise, Natalia responded with my peck. I missed us.<br /> After that sweet moment, I looked at her, hopeful that she felt the same emotions that I have. A warm one. But it didn't come. She avoided my gaze once again and bowed her head. My heart became heavy. Throbbing.<br /> As I looked at her side, I tried to imprint her elegant face, her smile and her frame in my mind as if it will be the last time. I tightened my arm around her not wanting to let go. I pleaded with her the second time.<br /> 'Stay...Please...' by my side forever. I will make it up to you.<br /> My heart skipped when she tiptoed and leaned towards the left side of my face.<br /> 'Ariel is looking', she whispered. I was stunned by her words. Then she took the liberty to turned around and walked away.<br /> My world crushed before me. Turn around. Come back to me. Please.<br /> But she never did.<br /> THIRD PERSON'S POV<br /> A graceful woman with a black designer off-shoulder evening dress approached the bar. She planted herself on a seat beside a person who was silently observing her the moment she entered the party.<br /> That person noticed how the woman mingled with her family;<br /> saw her sipped at the glass of spirit that the woman in a white dress offered her for the toast;<br /> felt her cold presence from beginning to the end of the peck;<br /> saw her whispered to her husband and turned away to distanced herself.<br /> A smirk crept on the observer's face while drinking a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon.<br /> 'Interesting.' The person thought.<br /> The woman separated herself from the hideous world she's in. A bitter smile adorned her lips as if she now understood the reality of that world.<br /> "Young madam, anything you prefer?" The bartender inquired after recognizing her.<br /> The woman looked ahead and crinkled her brows at the question. Natalia glanced sideways and came to a conclusion.<br /> "Whatever he's having." She simply pointed at the person beside her without sparing a glance.<br /> "Taste it first." A baritone voice came out from the stranger. The man stood beside her and handed down his drink on the counter.<br /> Natalia's senses rose up at the hot soothing sound that crossed her ears. She shook her head and just stared at the glass contemplating. Her full lips pouted for a quick moment.<br /> She, nonetheless, accepted the offer. She took hold of the transparent chalice, gave it a swirl, sniffed and earned a sip.<br /> The man amusingly observed how the woman arched her chin up and got a full view of her perfect neck.<br /> The lady satisfied her unquenchable thirst as she took sip after sips until she emptied the glass. The woman realized what she had done and smiled helplessly at herself.<br /> Before she can utter an apology and take a glance at the man beside her, the stranger took hold of the new spirit glass that the bartender served the woman and left*.<br /> "Ladies and gentlemen, the cutting of the cake." The master of ceremonies announced. The married couple made their way at the center of the hall. Some of the audience smiled thoughtfully as if remembering their own experience of the tradition.<br /> Natalia looked around to marked the server that will supposedly tripped and accidentally pushed her forward to land on the five-tier cake. 'Ah. There you are.'<br /> She positioned herself on the left side of Devon where her bestfriend was used to be. On her peripheral vision, Natalia saw Ariel not far from her husband's right side. His family was on the right side too, while hers was on the left part.<br /> Three. Two. One.<br /> The server fall on Natalia's back but another one also tripped and incidentally pushed Ariel on the spot.<br /> The whole scene happened in a slow motion course on Natalia's eyes.<br /> She saw how Ariel screamed and how Devon left her side to support her bestfriend while she silently closed her eyes bracing for the impact. Reality stinks.<br /> The room was quiet after the fiasco. Devon saved Ariel from the fall leaving his wife of the same fate and giving the spectators some pondering as to why he instinctively helped the other woman.<br /> Natalia opened her eyes and miraculously felt safe. One sturdy hand rested on her stomach and another one supported her upper left arm.<br /> "Careful." A low soothing voice echoed in her ears. It sounded familiar she thought.<br /> Natalia looked at the person who produces such reassuring tone. Standing beside her was a six-feet-tall man with a breathtaking visage paired with honey-colored eyes.<br /> His aloof demeanor far exceeded her husband's. The man emits authority that no one can overpowered. He was simply astonishing and she regarded him as the most outstanding facade she had ever seen.<br /> Natalia was grateful but at the same time scared of what the man can do on any given situation.<br /> "Thank you very much." She muttered weakly as she tried to compose herself. Her knees became weak as her nose landed the smell of his minty aftershave. And her stomach felt they were full of butterflies. Weird.<br /> She broke away from the man's support and glanced at the leeches. Devon looked at her with guilty eyes. She hanged down her sight and kept her silence. No one saw how a small smile crept to her face.<br /> In addition, Daniel and Jake's face were red enough showing that they will not forget and forgive this moment. Their silent deadly glares penetrated the bones of the Yushkova family.<br /> The emcee was put on an awkward situation. They all saw what happened and couldn't continue with the cake tradition not wanting to offend the Zimmers anymore and their lovely young madam.<br /> The host changed the atmosphere when he invited the crowd to eat the first course meal. The servers then efficiently handed down the plates on each table.<br /> Natalia then reassured her family that she's actually fine and exited the hall discreetly with a graceful escape. Freedom.<br /> Unaware, the stranger knew of her departure and unconsciously walked the same steps she left behind.<br /> #######<br /> "Mister Gates?" A woman called for the man's attention.<br /> "Mister Alexander Gates?" The woman repeated when the man didn't reply. She abruptly blocked his path when she noticed the important man leaving the hall.<br /> "Yes, madam...?" His assistant, Sergei, answered instead. He stepped forward preventing the middle-aged woman to have a physical contact with his boss. One of Alexander's personal guards stepped in, too.<br /> "It's Victoria Yushkova. This is my husband Euro." The man just looked at her lazily.<br /> Victoria was still in awe of his presence. No one dared to approach him at the party earlier because of his indifferent presence. Having that kind of aura makes him more attractive to any woman of any age.<br /> Standing tall with a Stuart Hughes' three-piece black suit, Alexander waited patiently for his assistant to deal with the random people.<br /> "Mr. Gates is a bit tired. Excuse us." The assistant told them flatly. He's great at doing his job of filtering important people from those who aren't.<br /> Right now, his boss was chasing a very important individual.<br /> Reluctantly, the Yushkova couple let go of the matter for they do not want to offend a big personality like the Gates. Alexander is the heir of the biggest hotel and restaurant chain in the world --- the Zion Group of Companies.<br /> Victoria invited him with the connection that her maternal grandmother was acquainted with the Gates. Fortunately, the man attended the celebration. His brief presence is enough to set a big path for their Yushkova empire.<br /> "Sir, this way." Sergei told his boss. He led Alexander to a secluded roof terrace and leave quickly.<br /> Meanwhile, the woman at the terrace was very engrossed in her thoughts as she looked at the night sky. A lonesome tear escapes her left eye as her sweet faint laugh illuminates her surroundings.<br /> The man observing from the dark corner made sure that the woman is safe and then took his leave.<br /> "Sergei, make Simon and Zeb watch over her. Also...give me all the details of the Yushkovas and the Zimmers." He ordered.<br /> "On it." His assistant simply replied.

Yes it’s the Piriformis. It’s been blessed with its own syndrome and gets the blame for an awful lot of problems. Is this really fair and is there such a thing as Piriformis syndrome anyway? Can the Piriformis be the root of sciatic pain and if so, what can we do to change it? In this weeks webinar I will show you the Piriformis like you have NEVER seen it before and show you how it works with some other incredible structures to do its job. We will look at the sciatic nerve and examine how the presentation of sciatic type pain can be better understood, explained and treated.	https://go.touchmoveheal.com/the-piriformis-and-sciatica-webinar-6543	2024-04-27 03:50	https://scontent-ord5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440347622_1626543214815095_5836995052468605543_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=109&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=6ZQLkjifR6AAb4wVRmX&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-1.xx&oh=00_AfBEU-zh_uX-yZHx29-XreaW-TY9ItDP6r5CYm8lm7doJg&oe=66343BB7	person_profile	Julian Baker	https://scontent-ord5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440343136_682295903977500_8298496277411793254_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=nwH6qDsCa7QAb6gIzkQ&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-2.xx&oh=00_AfDWNTg93ivoMuPbKk4PQx_pUIHS_pjFbOKXvb2dzCX0Rg&oe=66346505	3	Functional Anatomy	2024-04-28 02:00	View Edit Delete

After their divorce, he realized in anguish that he had been mistaken all along—his true love had always been his ex-wife.<br /> ======<br /> <br /> Chapter1 The truth about marrying her<br /> "Tammy, I'm sorry I hurt you." He stroked her soft hair and murmured. <br /> <br /> Tammy's scarred face hung with tears, and her tiny, naked body lay shivering in the strong man's arms. She was too shy to look up at him.<br /> <br /> Today was her wedding night. Just now, she ended the transformation from a girl to a woman.<br /> <br /> The man holding her in his arms at the moment was her husband Angus, a man could drive all women crazy.<br /> <br /> She had loved him for fifteen years.<br /> <br /> In the darkness, Angus stared at the little woman in his arms. His deep black eyes contained a coolness that was hard for others to guess.<br /> <br /> Tammy shook her head gently. Her face blushed.<br /> <br /> Although he was gentle, the pain was inevitable because it was her first time.<br /> <br /> However, she was happy enough that he didn't mind the scars on her face and that she was a poor little girl who had been living in exile for ten years.<br /> <br /> There was a ding, and his phone rang.<br /> <br /> Angus took the phone, looked at it, frowned, turned his head and said, "Tammy, I'm going out for a few minutes and I will come back soon. Wait for me."<br /> <br /> He bowed his head and gently kissed on her forehead.<br /> <br /> Angus switched on the light and got out of bed, tucking Tammy in and picking up a robe from the side and putting it on.<br /> <br /> Tammy watched as he left the room.<br /> <br /> Without his embrace, she was suddenly lost. She gripped the blanket restlessly at her chest. Her thin shoulders were out of the quilt, and they were covered with the marks of their love and affection.<br /> <br /> A few minutes passed and he didn't return. Tammy's loss grew stronger and stronger.<br /> <br /> She put on her pink nightgown and picked up the heart-shaped pendant carved from the wood on the bedside table and put it around her neck.<br /> <br /> It had been given to her by her mother before she died, and although it was worthless, she had worn it since she was a child.<br /> <br /> The pendant always soothed her anxious emotion.<br /> <br /> Tammy left the new house with a sweet smile on her face to find her husband.<br /> <br /> In the hallway, there was a sudden sound of talking.<br /> <br /> "Tammy's kidney was successfully paired with Sonia, and marrying her was just a way to get her to sign a consent form for the donation."<br /> <br /> It was Angus's voice. It was extraordinarily familiar to her, but it hurt her so much for a moment. His words were like a thunderbolt exploding in her head!<br /> <br /> Tammy's face went suddenly pale. Her hands clenched in fists, gripping the skirt of her nightgown so tightly that her whole body was as stiff as a stone. She seemed to have lost half her life.<br /> <br /> In the back of her mind, the words he'd said when he'd asked her to marry him emerged...<br /> <br /> "Tammy, you are a good girl, and I have no reason to marry any woman but you... "<br /> <br /> But then those words were like heavy slaps in her face!<br /> <br /> Tammy's kidney was paired with Sonia's and marrying her was just to get her to sign the donor consent form-...<br /> <br /> Tammy covered her mouth and shivered.<br /> <br /> She'd never agreed to donate her kidney, and she'd thought he'd married her because he loved her.<br /> <br /> But it turned out that he was the one who was going to trick her into donating a kidney for the woman he loved!<br /> <br /> The familiar figure not far away was as grand and tall as a king, with an elegant aristocratic air. Although the first time had only just been given to him, at the moment he was so strange to her!<br /> <br /> At this time, there came another voice with some flattery: "Oh, so that's it. Young Master Smith, why didn't you say so earlier. I thought you had let Sonia down. After all, she loves you so much, and you married Tammy as soon as she fell ill. It's hard for her not to think too much. Tammy is so vicious that she won't donate her kidney to save her sister. And you're the only one who can control her!"<br /> <br /> Chapter2 So it's all a trick<br /> The speaker was Tammy's stepmother, who was named Sue.<br /> <br /> When Tammy was nine years old, Sue was brought home by her father along with her sister who was older than Tammy. That girl was also her father's biological daughter.<br /> <br /> In other words, not long after her father and mother got married, he already had had an affair with another woman and had a daughter outside.<br /> <br /> At the time, her mother was already suffering from depression due to the hardships she had had in the marriage. And as a result, the incident completely overwhelmed her, causing her to become more and more mentally ill. Finally, her mother desperately tried to throw her out of the car window in a major car accident, while she was burned to death in the car.<br /> <br /> By the time her body was taken out, it was all charred...<br /> <br /> Tammy was only ten years old...<br /> <br /> Her mother was killed by Sue and her daughter, and her face and life were ruined by them.<br /> <br /> And now, they had joined forces and wanted her kidney!<br /> <br /> How could they be so bad? How could they do this to her?<br /> <br /> What did she do wrong?<br /> <br /> Tammy's tears rolled down like a river that had burst its banks!<br /> <br /> Angus, did you know that I've remembered you since I was five years old!<br /> <br /> But I loved you so much, and you trampled on my affection like this!<br /> <br /> His cruelty shattered all her hopes, and her world fell into obscurity.<br /> <br /> She thought she'd made it, but when the fog had lifted, she found that the destination she'd been running to wasn't heaven, but hell!<br /> <br /> Tammy gritted her teeth desperately and ran away back to her room!<br /> <br /> Angus's eyes were deep and dark. His voice had turned cold, "Tammy's kidneys can only be used when it's necessary."<br /> <br /> When he possessed her tonight, she was shaking all the time. She was so thin and fragile, so how could she carry the kidney removal surgery.<br /> <br /> When Sue heard this, she was immediately unhappy, but she didn't dare to show her anger, "Young Master Smith, what do you mean? Didn't you say you'd let her donate her kidney before marrying her? But why did you go back on your word?"<br /> <br /> Angus frowned and said sternly, "I have no regrets. If another suitable kidney is found before the operation, I will divorce her."<br /> <br /> Divorce.<br /> <br /> The thought of these words seemed to hit him hard heavily.<br /> <br /> Sue was about to say something else. Suddenly Angus paled and said indifferently, "Go away and don't let Tammy doubt you."<br /> <br /> His tone was full of strong command that made Sue pale!<br /> <br /> Although she had decided that she was Angus's future mother-in-law, she still shivered, not daring to say anything more. She turned away but a light flashed in her eyes.<br /> <br /> She would never let Tammy go!<br /> <br /> ......<br /> <br /> Tammy huddled in the corner of the room with her arms wrapped around her, shivering.<br /> <br /> Angus came in, and found no one in the room. He searched around, and suddenly noticed the curtains trembling faintly.<br /> <br /> He lifted the curtains and saw Tammy sitting on the floor, hugging her knees as if she was in some kind of shock. Her face was pale as a sheet.<br /> <br /> Angus was startled, "Tammy, what are you doing here?"<br /> <br /> Tammy clenched her teeth desperately, and she stared at him with her red eyes.<br /> <br /> Angus frowned. He was confused. "What's wrong with you? Get up first"<br /> <br /> Chapter3 You give up<br /> He bent down and put his hands under her armpits and picked her up.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Tammy was agitated and pushed him away hard, "Get off me!"<br /> <br /> She almost growled out.<br /> <br /> "......"<br /> <br /> Her attitude was so strange. Did she know anything?<br /> <br /> Instantly, his eyes went cold, "Did you know?"<br /> <br /> Tammy clenched her fists in grief, "Yes!"<br /> <br /> "......"<br /> <br /> Angus said coldly, "In that case, there's no need to pretend loving."<br /> <br /> It was clear that things had been revealed, and his cold tone seemed to tell her that there was no need for him to pretend to be gentle with her anymore.<br /> <br /> The air went cold, and Tammy's whole body became top-heavy as if all her insides had been emptied!<br /> <br /> Suddenly, she was so out of breath that a sensation of her breath being blocked came over her, and she fell to the ground, covering her chest!<br /> <br /> Angus sensed something was wrong and immediately took her in his arms!<br /> <br /> "Tammy!" There was urgency in his voice.<br /> <br /> Tammy's breath quickened and she gripped the man's suit tie. Her tears gushed from her eyes, and her red eyes were full of indignation!<br /> <br /> "........"<br /> <br /> Angus didn't say much, but his face was unusually livid. He just picked Tammy up and put her on the bed.<br /> <br /> "Tammy, how are you feeling?" He patted her face gently, a fine layer of sweat covering his forehead.<br /> <br /> Tammy stared at him with wide and empty eyes. She gave him a sarcastic smile.<br /> <br /> If he'd been scared about her before, she'd have been happy. But now she just felt sick.<br /> <br /> He wasn't afraid she'd die, but he was afraid that he could not get her to sign the consent form!<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Tammy sat up in bed, pushed him away, and got right off the bed!<br /> <br /> Angus frowned. He easily caught her back with his long arms and held her in his arms. He hugged her from behind, and his eyes were dark, "Where do you want to go?"<br /> <br /> "You let go of me!" Tammy shouted!<br /> <br /> Finally, monstrous anger erupted and she tried almost with all her might to break the man's hands that held her. Her nails almost sank into the back of his hands.<br /> <br /> Angus frowned and a chill crossed his face as he said coldly, "Stop it. Calm down!"<br /> <br /> "........"<br /> <br /> He's got the nerve to think she was making a scene?<br /> <br /> Tammy gritted her teeth, veins bulging on her forehead as she hissed, "Angus, how could you cheat on my feelings like that?!"<br /> <br /> She hated him so much!<br /> <br /> Angus closed his eyes and his breathing became a little faster. He easily clamped around her in his embrace. His strong and muscular muscles pressed against her back through the suit and her nightgown. His heartbeat strongly that almost crushed her thin and frail body.<br /> <br /> In the end, he opened his cold and heartless eyes with a frost that couldn't be melted, "Yes, I married you for your kidney, but..."<br /> <br /> He seemed to be trying to explain something else, but the words wouldn't come out of his mouth.<br /> <br /> After all, he was doing it for her kidney. What else could he do to explain?<br /> <br /> "........"<br /> <br /> He had finally admitted it to her. He admitted his intention so neatly, so righteously!<br /> <br /> Tammy breathed a cold air. She bit down on her teeth, and her face was full of tears. The tears hid the scars on her face. She raged, "I won't give my kidney to Sonia. You give up!"<br /> <br /> His voice was also tinged with a hidden anger, and his strong, powerful arms around her became tighter, "Tammy, she's your sister. Why are you so cruel? It's just a kidney. You are not going to die!"<br /> <br /> Just a kidney?<br /> <br /> Why did he have the nerve to say that?<br /> <br /> ...
