What am I to do walk around with my eyes closed." <br /> For the rest of lunch Cat heard everything, there was to hear about Eric Logan and his string of girlfriends, lovers and mistresses. <br /> Something she had no intention of becoming to any man no matter what they looked like or how charming they might very well be, she had heard it all and she wasn't interested. <br /> ————————<br /> "Cat, while I'm away, if you should need anything, just call my secretary Joanna."<br /> Kathrine rolled her eyes as she watched Eric from her position in her bed, the same bed they had just shared and not for sleeping.<br /> At this moment Eric was dressing to leave on yet another business trip. The plane that would be taking him to London would be leaving within the hour from Sydney airport.... But did he look hurried like any normal person would if their plane was leaving so soon. No, not Eric. He could arrive within 15 minutes of the plane taking off and it still wouldn't matter. Because the Jet was his and he was the only passenger on the flight. That was unless Claudia was going with him. She no longer asked that question. It was something she just didn't want to think about. This trip like so many recently had come up at the last minute. It seemed to be increasing to the point Cat hardly saw Eric anymore. Unless it was for a fast lay in the sack that was.<br /> She observed Eric with a sinking heart as he pulled up his tailored pants, they fit his gorgeous body perfectly. Then again they should being tailor made and cost more than she made in a week......knowing the designer maybe more than a month. Focusing back on his face, she watched the fading August sun shimmer through the blinds in the large bay window, casting his beautiful toned body in a healthy glow. God! He had a great body most male models would die for. Starting with his head of think black lush hair, which was still currently wet from the shower, which they had shared before ending up in bed together again. Eric has one those picture perfect faces that the camera loved, all sharp lines and hard angles, a strong jaw line. Even his nose was perfectly straight having never broken it in his youth like so many young men did by getting into fights or playing sport. His eyes, she thought to be his best feature, she could just stare into his eyes forever, they had a beautiful combination of blue and grey. She had sometimes caught a glimpse of his boyish features but only when he smiled or laughed.<br /> Sitting back against the bedhead Cat sighed as she took in his broad shoulders, narrow waist, lick-able all over tan, rock hard stomach with a thin trail of hair down the center of his abdomen. Oh, she remembered the times she had loved to play with the hair while he was asleep teasing him slowly awake and then into full arousal. Tearing her eyes away from his body while he finished dressing Cat looked down at her fingers playing with the white sheets, blinking back tears.... why had she let this happen again?<br /> Today she had told herself that they wouldn't just end up in bed, having intercourse the first time they had a chance to find a flat surface. Cat silently laughed. Who was she kidding they didn't need a flat surface anywhere would do. Once the urgency of the moment hit them.<br /> But they needed to talk and she had been so sure she could stop the tornado of lust to finally just communicate.<br /> They really needed to talk, she had to be strong... things just could not go on this way! The only thing they seemed to share now was a bed, for a few hours when he could spare the time. Not that they really had a sharing relationship to start with.but things had been better in the beginning hadn't they? Granted there was no love involved on Eric's side and he had warned her not to full in love with him because she didn't picture into his future, how cold was that? Anyone would wonder after hearing that she had still given herself to him. Insanity maybe! No she couldn't say that really, all she could say was her feeling for Eric had overwhelmed she, to the point that she needed him and dam the consequences.<br /> They would share each other exclusively until the lust wore itself out. Eric didn't keep any women in his life for longer an six months, until her, maybe that was the problem maybe he was bored. After eight months, he was over her! He had to be, right? But that didn't explain his urgency and lust when he did see her. Then again Eric was a highly-sexed male and after not having intercourse for the times he was away maybe it was just getting rid of sexual tension.<br /> Oh! Cat hated that idea... was she just an outlet for his needs. What they had was a pleasurable coupling of two people enjoying each other while they where both happy. She wasn't happy anymore to be honest with herself she hadn't been for sometime!<br /> Maybe somewhere in her delusional brain she had like most women in her situation that maybe if she was really lucky and everything Eric needed.... one day he would realise he loved her and couldn't live without her. In the beginning she had envisioned the just being with Eric would be enough, that she would be happy.<br /> She could see now that was just a pipe dream. It was tearing her apart, it was so hard to be in love with someone that didn't return your feelings, well didn't know about her feelings to start with she had never told him because she was scared that she would push her out of his life so fast that the door would hit her on the hip on the way out. So she had kept her feelings to herself. She really had been kidding herself for eight months that things would be alright. What a joke that was... things hadn't gotten better, if anything they had gotten worse. How had things gone so dreadfully wrong..<br /> "Cat! Have you been listening to a word I've said?" Eric demanded pulling her out of her internal thoughts.<br /> "Yes!" taking a deep breath, having words with Eric was never easy. He had a way of tying you up in knots or maybe that was just her.<br /> "Eric, for one thing I do know who your secretary is, I see and talk to her more than I do with you of late and I was at her wedding last month if you remember? It was the same wedding you yourself were invited to but at the very last minute cancelled because of some glitch in London."<br /> Eric frowned at her abrupt change of mood.<br /> But that's just it your beautiful stupid man ....this is how I have been feeling and like the good arm candy that I am I haven't said anything to you. But this was aid silently inside Cat's head not ready to voice all just yet. Hoping that maybe I'm more than just arm candy.... huh! now she really was living a fairytale.<br /> If Eric had felt anything for her at all in the eight months they had been together he would have said something by now and he wouldn't be spending less time with her he would try and spend more time wouldn't he?<br /> If only Eric trusted his very capable staff to do their jobs handling any problems that arise.<br /> Eric demanded the best and expected his staff to work long hard hours. Even though his staff are the best at what they do, it appeared that no matter the problem or issue Eric was the one that had to be there to fix it.<br /> As Eric's company Logan holdings inc had expanded, he had obtained and trained some of the best people in the world, they had to be the best in their field, Eric wouldn't except anything less... Due to the high demand on their time Eric paid them well to keep them loyal. He had employees willing and more than able to take responsibility for major operations, he still had not delegated some of his workload, one of the companies, a computer software designer, had been expanding rapidly in the last four months so Eric was spending more time at work and less time with her.<br /> She had not seen him at all last week, if he hadn't been at the office until late at night, you could find him dining with clients or other important people within his business network that only had an importance to his future and ongoing business concerns. When she did see him before that, it was for a brief time in bed before he would leave to go back to work, he no longer stayed the night like he would have done in the beginning, even today had been a stolen few hours before he had to leave in between work and going to the airport. There was a time when they would have talk until the early hours of the morning on the weekends when they both didn't have to get up to work the next day. They had even taken the odd walk in the park on a beautiful day or relaxed over dinner, music and spirit.<br /> Those times appear to be gone forever. Eric finished dressing, he rounded the bed to her side, sat down facing her, his powerful thigh pushed against her softer one heating her blood... she shifted away.<br /> "So what bought on this sudden bad attitude?"Eric asked watchfully reaching out to pick up her long red hair laying on the sheet that she was clutching against her breasts, this action send even more heat to her centre.<br /> How easy was she? They had already slept with.... no call it for what it is, had intercourse twice already and here she really getting hot over again with him playing with just her hair! Cat furiously glared at him, he was treating her like some naughty child. She pulled away from his hand. She pushed even more against the bedhead, holding the white sheet tighter to her breasts. How can this Genius man be so stupid? How can he be so blind?<br /> But this wasn't a business deal this was personal, Cat thought to herself before saying in an even tone. "I really don't think you want to hear what I have to say, you never do, because it's against what you want to hear, so there for in your eyes not really important, so you don't listen...I really think you should go you'll be late for your flight."<br /> "Cat....."<br /> But before Eric had a chance to say anymore, Cat cut him off. "Don't Cat me like that Eric, it will not work anymore, I'm not. happy with the way things are.... I have tried to verbalise how I feel to you, all you seem to do is override them or use intercourse to keep me quiet. We don't love each other." oh! how that lie hurt but she will keep her pride if it was the last thing she did... "maybe that's what I need to look for. I want so much more than we are giving each other. Eric, sexual life on the run is just not for me! there is no point continuing this....this affair" Cat took another deep breath holding back tears she would not cry, she would not cry... she told herself over and over again hoping that, if she told herself this it would some how keep the tears at bay. She had just told this man so many lies because she know if this kept going, he would kill her slowly with his indifference.<br /> Tears formed around her eyes even though she tried to hold them there.<br /> "Come on baby, don't be silly everything is fine, I've just been working a bit to hard lately that's all.." Eric looked at his gold watch before adding " ... look, I can't talk now, I really have to go, we will talk when I get back."<br /> Seeming to be convinced that she would be happy with this he stood up preparing to leave, A single tear rolled down her cheek.....<br /> "Don't bother coming back Eric, I meant what I said about us being over, I can't go on like this."<br /> "Now Kitty..."<br /> This bought a rumble of anger from Cat's throat "No" she shouted "NO ... I mean every word Eric, forget the keys I gave you they will not work after tomorrow, I'm having the locks changed."<br /> He frowned "Cat.." he tried again not silly enough to use the stupid nickname after the last eruption it had caused<br /> But she still didn't give him a chance. "OUT" she cried, she really couldn't take it anymore. So she picked up his pillow and threw it at his head. It missed ...<br /> "I'll see you when I get back, we will talk then."<br /> "No. We. Will. Not." she screeched back, but all she was yelling at was the closed bedroom door. He was gone seconds later as she heard the front door click closed. Cat curled herself into a tight ball as the first sobs rocked her slim body.<br /> The next day<br /> Cat moved behind Eric's desk sitting down in his leather chair, sighing she needed to get this over with and remembering moments in this office was not good! Just to many memories... even being at this desk wasn't helping! closing her eyes for a moment to clear her mind and focus on what needed to be done.... Cat reopened her eyes and pulled open the desk's left hand drawer, removing pen and paper.... she really should have done this at home and then just left the letter on his desk but there just hadn't been time and even now she wasn't sure what to write! What should I say? Will he even listen? Maybe not! knowing Eric like she did. Eric was used to getting his own way and getting anything and everything he wanted.<br /> Cat began writing<br /> Eric<br /> I have tried talking to you, but it's like talking to myself, nothing I have said matters to you or you just choose not to hear it. You don't listen, I think it's best all around if we don't see each other anymore. All I seem to be is a warm body for when the urge hits. You had a long string of lovers before me, so l'm sure ending things will be no hardship for you and no feelings hurt. Wishing you all the best.<br /> Cat<br /> Cat sat there for a long time just staring at the letter, she wanted to cry and tears did well, but she told herself, No more she wouldn't cry and not here. She wasn't sure how long she did sit there, when Joanne called her name a few times from the doorway, she hit earth.<br /> "Sorry Jo, my mind was elsewhere, l've got a few things going on right now." Cat folded her letter putting it into a envelope also found in Eric's top drawer before sealing it.<br /> "So I noticed." Jo smiled<br /> "Jo can you give this to Eric when he comes back." Joanne frowned at her requested, because Jo would know after an extended time away the first person to see Eric would be Cat.<br /> Cat stopped any questions now by saying quickly " I'II explain later, ok" but that didn't stop Jo as she hoped.<br /> "Cat what's going on? Has something happened between Eric and you? "<br /> Cat frowned, she had set herself on this path there was no hiding it and she didn't want to... it's just how much was she ready to talk about. "It's over between us, Jo. He doesn't love me, he takes our relationship for granted... well what relationship really, he told me on the onset what it was to him when we started this. So this affair isn't going anywhere and I find that now I need more than I have with Eric."<br /> "Cat, your wrong Eric does love you...I see the way he looks at you."<br /> Cat gave a humourless laugh. "Has he told you that...." Cat waited for Jo's reply, when none came she went on "No! no I didn't think so...he treats me as a mistress, he just doesn't pay my bills because I will not let him I do have some pride" getting up from Eric's chair she added "only good thing that came out of our affair was the friendship I have with you."<br /> "Jo looked like she wanted to say more, but reframed, what could she say! Eric didn't love her and she was wasting her life.<br /> "Ok friend, I'll give Eric the letter but I think.."<br /> Cat interrupted Joanna before she could finish "please Jo, lets have a nice lunch and not talk about Eric.... well at least until after we have eaten, I really don't want indigestion." Trying to lighten the mood. Jo looked miffed but agreed.<br /> "So are you going to tell me about what's going on? We have finished lunch now Cat, you did say in the office that you would tell me later." Cat put down her coffee cup before saying anything she wasn't exactly sure what to say, Jo got on so well with her boss and she really didn't want to be the one to complicate things between them.<br /> Joanna had talked about some of the women Eric had dated before she came along and they did share a lot.<br /> "Cat..." Jo's voice made her look up.<br /> "Sorry Jo, listen I have to run, Mrs Logan gave me this week off and this being my last day I still have so much to do and I'm sure you really need to get back to the office." Cat stood quickly and picking up her handbag, pulling out the money for their meals it was her turn.<br /> "Please give the letter to Eric the day he gets back!" Cat gave Jo a quick hug, then left before her friend said anymore on the subject.<br /> Working for a woman was so much better not to say that a woman could not be predatory but Mrs Logan was an older woman with children and she had been married to a man so Cat really didn't thinks she was Mrs Logan's type. On Monday morning Cat arrived at her new job early and found as the day progressed she didn't have any trouble with the tasks given to her. Allison was more than happy with her standard of work, granted it was only just before lunch Cat gave a silent giggle.. Oh! she felt so much happier not having to worry about being asked to stay late or being left only with her boss.<br /> When lunch hour did arrive the friend who had told her about the position who happened to be a secretary on the same floor asked her to lunch to celebrate getting the job.<br /> "Julie! lets not celebrate just yet l'm still on probation and I don't want to go out to lunch on my first day what would Allison think?"<br /> Allison walked out from her office at that moment saying "Don't be silly Katherine. We have worked hard this morning and you arrived early. Go enjoy a nice lunch no need to clock watch."<br /> Allison liked to use Cat full name even after she had told her Cat was ok Cat jumped up smiling.<br /> "Are you sure?"<br /> "Yes, please go it's no problem.." Allison reassured her.<br /> Cat grab her handbag from her desk drawer, asking Allison on the way out "Can I bring anything back for you?"<br /> "No dear, thank you. I'm about to head out myself and not sure if l'lI be back until 2pm so don't rush back from vour lunch."<br /> Cat grinned "Ok, thanks." and left with a smiling Julie.<br /> Once they were seated at an outside table in the local cafe closest to their office building and lunch was ordered.<br /> Julie asked. "So how is the new job, Kitty" Julie used Cat's pet name her foster father had given her and Julie seemed to like using it even though she had long since grow out of such a childish name.<br /> Cat laughed it was a genuinely beautiful sound making men turn to look at her, not that she noticed.<br /> Cat had never been into attracting a man's attention on purpose it always seemed to make her uncomfortable.<br /> "Oh...it's only been a few hours but I can tell you I love working for Mrs Logan" Julie herself had not applied for the job even though it would have been a step up.<br /> Because her family had planned to move back home to Cowra in the near future to be with Julie's mother, who had no family close by and hadn't been well lately. Julie worries about her mum all the time and her living alone outside of town. Julie's family are long time friends of Cat's foster parents. So they both came from the same town in New South Wales.<br /> Julie smiled and got a mischievous glint in her eye that she always got before saying something outrageous. It's got its perks I'm sure." Julie laughed.<br /> Cat was sure she was missing something, maybe an inside joke that she wasn't aware of yet "Sorry?" raising her left eyebrow in question.<br /> "Come on Kitty, I know you haven't had much to do with men but Mr Logan is one yummy piece of man and you get to enjoy that view him every time he sees his mother. God, now he has what I call a body to die for.... I wish David had a body like that."<br /> "Julie!" Cat laughed at Julie when she started fanning herself with her hand. Julie and David had been married for four years, they had been high school sweethearts and married straight after high school. They had all been in the same year together. David had a great body from want she knew, not like she had ever seen him undressed only ever in swim trunks, he had been very popular at school as well, school president, played the guitar in the school rock band and captain of the football team, very athletic joining in with anything the lest bit sporty and every girl wanted him with his sun bleached hair and tanned and toned body but he had only ever had eyes for Julie.<br /> David might have put on a good show but in actual fact had been very shy around the girl he really wanted...Julie, who was a take the bull by the horns, take charge person nobody stood in front of Julie's way, she had a great personality could hold a room full of people interested in whatever she was saying no matter the topic, she just had a persona that made people gravitate towards her. Julie had told her once it made up for her lack of looks, Julie believed she was plain, but David didn't think so and Cat herself had never thought so.. with a curvy build and blonde hair and intelligent brown eyes standing at only 5.2.<br /> David had never cared about what others had said he had wanted Julie that much he had come to Cat for help, because Julie was her friend and Cat having never shown any interest in him herself, she had help them come together.<br /> "I love David with all my heart and would never cheat on the big guy, but that doesn't mean I have turned blind and can't appreciate the appeal of a hot man when I see one. What am I to do walk around with my eyes closed." She said laughing.<br /> She had a point and Julie would never cheat on David.<br /> "Sorry to disappoint you Julie, I haven't met Mr Logan yet, I only started this morning." She reminded Julie.<br /> "Well true, wait until you do.."she started fanning herself again. "no wonder he has every woman he wants."<br /> For the rest of lunch she heard everything, there was to hear about Eric Logan and his string of girlfriends, lovers and mistresses. something she had no intention of becoming to any man no matter what they looked like or how charming they might very well be, she had heard it all and she wasn't interested. Katherine was happy on her own, she had great friends fewer in number now she lived in the city away from home and the love of her foster parents Jack and Dawn Nelson who she tried to see at least once a month with a trip home. Back at the office Cat had just sat down behind her desk when a tall dark breathtakingly gorgeous man came storming through the door, a face like thunder.<br /> "Where is she?"he demanded from her.

I know, because I’ve done it with Belief Coding®️ I also know that maybe you're scared and telling yourself: “nothing will work for me”. I get it, I’ve been there. Let me tell you about Belief Coding®️ - it is one of the best and the quickest modalities out there to release negative, heavy feelings. I've used it on anxiety, depression, phobias, fears, procrastination and the results have been life changing. I was skeptical when I first heard this, but i joined a free masterclass that helped me to understand why I felt the way I did and where my feelings had come from; and then I experienced a full Belief Coding®️ session FOR FREE! It was amazing! I thought anxiety was just who I was….I felt nothing would or could ever help me. That I’d never feel good again and that realization felt really scary. All I knew is I needed help because I couldn’t cope any longer feeling like that But here’s the thing: I also had nothing to lose so I joined the free masterclass and I made sure I turned up for the free training session. I felt a glimmer of hope. I signed up and I’m now a qualified Belief Coding®️ Trainer inviting you TO MY VERY FIRST MASTERCLASS 🎉🥳 I know how it feels like to feel like there is no way out of feeling full of self doubt, stuck, lost, anxious, trapped, fearful, hopeless and unhelpable! That was me. Belief Coding®️ turned my life around and my clients’ lives around and I know it can do it for you Click learn more and see you on the 22nd of January! 💥	LEARN_MORE	https://joanna-james.mykajabi.com/encore-page-2-x-	129043333619048	Joanna James	https://facebook.com/61551032757689	32	0	840,213,601,194,765	2024-01-10 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	0	1	1	Learn More	Joanna James	120202607476290187	joanna-james.mykajabi.com	NONE	dco	This is not another 'mindset workshop' - you will experience a REAL transformation.

A wiesz, co jest od tego jeszcze gorsze? Gorsze niż ból, tęsknota i natrętne myśli o nim jest… Zastygnięcie, zamrożenie, skamienienie, obojętność, odcięcie, rozproszenie. To ma nawet swoją nazwę naukową — ANHEDONIA. Anhedonia to niezdolność do odczuwania przyjemności, także utrata zainteresowań i brak motywacji. To stan, w którym życie jest pozbawione kolorów, smaku, zapachu, a uczucie radości pojawia się bardzo rzadko lub nigdy. # Wiesz dlaczego? Dlatego, że kiedy bardzo tęsknisz, tkwisz w bólu, bezradności, to w pewnym momencie Twój organizm tego nie wytrzymuje i się odcina. Zamraża, zastyga. Nawet o tym nie wiesz. Nawet może wydawać Ci się, że jest dobrze, bo Ci przeszło, bo zajmujesz się już czymś innym, bo się spotykasz z ludźmi, działasz. Tylko jakoś tak pusto w środku. Bo nieuwolniony ból i tęsknota odcięły Cię nie tylko od nieprzyjemnych emocji, ale też od autentycznej radości, miłości i harmonii. Zastanów się, jakie ukryte, uwięzione emocje trzymają Cię daleko od kobiecej mocy. https://joannagrabska.pl Specjalnie dla Ciebie przygotowałam zupełnie nowy mini kurs z maxi efektami 5U - „Uwolniona Do Miłości" czyli, jak RAZ NA ZAWSZE możesz uwolnić się od uwięzionych emocji, tęsknoty, goryczy, bólu, żalu, rozczarowania, natrętnych i niepokojących myśli o nim. Inwestując TYLKO 30 minut dziennie, przez 21 dni. 🟠5U - Ujrzyj, Uszanuj, Uwolnij, Ukierunkuj, Ugruntuj https://joannagrabska.pl	LEARN_MORE	https://joannagrabska.pl/	1387948014788528	Joanna Grabska - Inspirator Zmian	https://facebook.com/JoannaGrabskaInspiratorZmian	7,613	1	6,602,968,949,742,335	2023-09-15 02:00	regular_page	eligible	NONE	1	0	0	Learn More	Joanna Grabska - Inspirator Zmian	23859112775070562	https://joannagrabska.pl	NONE	dco	{{product.description}}	https://joannagrabska.pl/	2023-09-08 07:21	https://scontent-lga3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/375593058_1223289658365881_3451537451493435061_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=CMrldzXicOAAX9vlrOd&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.xx&oh=00_AfCm74r7orZxpFyo2j3T2FGiBfNQbVTTMg82ksO4eDzZpg&oe=65A6220F	person_profile	0			0	3	Joanna Grabska - Inspirator Zmian	2023-09-08 02:00	View Edit Delete

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed. <br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...?

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed. <br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!"

She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. It had been four years.<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> Until four years later, Joanna came back with her sons and another man.<br /> Even though they were divorced, Bruce still felt cheated on and even betrayed.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> It was midnight, and the raindrops were pounding the window.<br /> Inside a house, a man said coldly, "sign the divorce papers! As compensation, I will give you 100 million dollars in alimony."<br /> "Did I do something wrong again, Bruce?" asked Joanna Haynes timidly. She had always been a humble servant in front of him.<br /> "Roxy's back, and she doesn't want to see you! It's time for our marriage to end. So you have to go!" Bruce Everett said, crossing his long legs and leaning back on the couch. He was as handsome as a classical Greek sculpture, but the look on his face was as cool as ever.<br /> Joanna's pale lips quivered as if she had fallen into the icy water. She asked with shock, "You're divorcing me because she's back? Is our marriage nothing but a joke to you?"<br /> "You were not the one I wanted to marry in the first place, and you drove Roxy away two years ago with your dirty tricks. Now that she's back, I won't make the same mistake. Hurry up and sign the papers! 100 million dollars for two years of your pathetic life. You should consider it a bargain." Bruce had always been good at hurting her with words.<br /> "I... What will happen if I don't sign them?" Joanna asked bitterly.<br /> "Suit yourself. I have ways of making you disappear. Legally or not, no one will notice."<br /> As heir to the richest family in the Greyport city, Bruce had always been capable of doing whatever he liked. Who would dare to stand up to him anyway?<br /> Two years ago, Joanna's family decided to get connected with the Everetts by marriage.<br /> However, at the engagement banquet of Bruce and Roxanne, Joanna's step-sister, the man was drugged. Later in the lounge, Bruce mistook Joanna for Roxanne, and they slept with each other.<br /> The next day, the scandal of the Haynes group's eldest daughter hooking up with her brother-in-law was all over the newspaper.<br /> Roxanne Haynes' mental state broke, and she was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment.<br /> Everyone took Joanna as the most shameless homewrecker, pointing fingers at her for sleeping with her brother-in-law.<br /> Bruce hated her even more and decided that Joanna was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.<br /> Yet, the Everett family and the Haynes family shared a friendship for generations. Moreover, this marriage was meant to deepen the connection.<br /> Hence, the elders of both families, Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, insisted on Bruce and Joanna getting married.<br /> The past two years of marriage had been a living hell for Joanna.<br /> Her tolerance and affection did not make it any better. In return, she got more humiliation and torture. Joanna was exhausted, both mentally and physically.<br /> So what if Bruce wanted a divorce? She'd had enough anyway!<br /> "Fine, I'll sign them, but I have a request."<br /> "Spit it out then!" Bruce believed that Joanna was thinking about more money!<br /> After all, that was what she, a scheming woman, could only care about.<br /> "I want you to sleep with me as a real lover does for once. For the past two years, every time you've been with me, you've called out Roxanne's name. Yeah, you've made me feel like I'm the worst woman in the world, and I've had enough! I'm your wife, and I want you to call out my name while sleeping with me for the last time. I am Joanna, not Roxanne!" For the first time, Joanna was screaming hysterically and trembling with anger.<br /> Each time in the past two years, Bruce would deliberately call out the wrong name! He had sex with her simply to punish and humiliate her. There was no love in it at all!<br /> "Oh, stop the nonsense. There's someone waiting for me downstairs..."<br /> Joanna snorted with self-mocking laughter.<br /> Then it probably was Roxanne who was waiting for him downstairs!<br /> "She can wait a little longer. She's been waiting for two years, and I think she can be patient enough for another few minutes. Do what I said or not. Suit yourself. I don't mind the media writing stories about me again!"<br /> Bruce hated being threatened the most. His thin lips curled into a sneer. A few seconds later, he replied, "Fine, I'll do it. But don't you regret it, Joanna!"<br /> Bruce jerked to stand up, seized her by the blouse, and pulled her over violently.<br /> And then...<br /> Her stockings were ripped apart...<br /> The man did not even give her a warning before hurting her!<br /> "AH!" Joanna cried, shutting her eyes in pain!<br /> Bruce was as ruthless as ever, almost cruel.<br /> He never cared if it hurt her or not. Or maybe watching her suffer simply pleased him!<br /> Good! Very good!<br /> She would remember this, remembering the man's cruelty to her for the rest of her life.<br /> "Joann. Oh, Joann. Are you happy now?"<br /> He finally called her name as he was on top of her.<br /> Though it was quite a humiliation, she could finally get rid of the depression that haunted her for two whole years.<br /> Joanna felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she said in a heartbroken tone, "Bruce Everett! I won't love you anymore!"<br /> Bruce had heard what she said but chose to ignore it. He caught her jaw contemptuously, looked down at her face, and sneered!<br /> She was... beautiful!<br /> This woman had such a pretty and innocent face, but her mind was filled with filth and schemes.<br /> That was why her so-called love for him would only make him sick.<br /> "Sign the divorce papers, take the money, and leave Greyport forever!"<br /> Having said that, Bruce left without looking back, leaving her lying on the floor in a mess.<br /> Two months later...<br /> In a hospital.<br /> "Congratulations, Ms. Haynes, you are pregnant with more than one. But I suggest you give up one or two of the fetuses, or there will be too many at risk!"<br /> Giving up?<br /> No, she would not take away the right to live from any of her children!<br /> It was her baby and hers alone! One way or another, she was gonna give birth to them and raise them right...<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 2 The Return Of Joanna<br /> Four years later.<br /> In the intensive-care unit of a hospital.<br /> "I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, but Raymond isn't getting any better. You should go inside and bid farewell to him!"<br /> Shaun Haynes frowned worriedly and said, "Doc, will you please try something else? If my father can't make it, all the properties of the Haynes family will be bequeathed to the government... oh, what to do... none of us have even seen Joanna over the years. Damn it, and my father, too. We don't know what he was thinking. How could he ignore his grandsons who keep him accompanied every day while only caring for that wretched daughter of mine!"<br /> Everyone in the Haynes family was miserable these days.<br /> Raymond, Shaun's father, drafted an odd will on his deathbed.<br /> He left 51% of the Haynes Group to his eldest granddaughter, Joanna. As for the other members of the Haynes family, they would inherit only 10%.<br /> In other words, Joanna would become the largest shareholder of the Haynes Group.<br /> Yet, according to the additional condition to the will, if Joanna did not show up before Raymond's death, all the properties of the Haynes family would go straight to the government.<br /> So, the Haynes family had been looking for Joanna desperately for these days.<br /> However, it was like Joanna had disappeared from the world!<br /> No one ever heard from her and saw her even once since she and Bruce got divorced.<br /> "The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!"<br /> Shaun's second wife, Ingrid Haynes, was cursing furiously, and her face twisted a little.<br /> Back then, she, with the twins in her belly, kicked Joanna and Joanna's mother out of the family. Then Ingrid gave birth to her third son, thinking that her position in the family was absolutely secured.<br /> She had never expected that she would have nothing in the end.<br /> Of all three children of hers, the old man still favored that Joanna girl.<br /> "Dad, Mom, Grandpa's awake!"<br /> "Joann... my Joanna..." Raymond had been in a coma for more than a dozen days. His hours were numbered.<br /> And before his death, his only concern was for his eldest granddaughter, Joanna.<br /> Joanna had been missing for four years, and that worried Raymond so much. He even suspected that Ingrid might have somehow murdered his beloved granddaughter.<br /> "Dad, aren't Rick, Ryan and Roxy all your grandchildren? Your will is not fair! You basically leave nothing to them! They might as well just go out on the street and beg for a living if you insist on donating everything to the government!"<br /> "Joann... Let me see Joann. You won't get a penny before that..."<br /> Ingrid shouted in a low voice, "It's been four years, Raymond! Who knows where she's gone? Plus, if she really cares for you, how can she not show up to see you for the last time?"<br /> A hint of impatience crossed Roxanne's eyes, and she couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, do you know where my sister has been?"<br /> Bruce froze because he did not know the answer to this question.<br /> Four years ago, after their divorce, Bruce thought Joanna was going to keep harassing him or at least make a scene!<br /> Unexpectedly, the next day, Joanna moved out. She took nothing with her but her IDs, not even the bank card that had 100 million dollars in it.<br /> And in these four years, there had been no news of her at all. Of course, as proud as Bruce was, he never contacted her either.<br /> It had been four years!<br /> Still, Bruce didn't believe she would let go so easily! He had prepared so many plans to get rid of her as long as she showed up. Yet it turned out that he didn't need any of them!<br /> She just disappeared from his world completely.<br /> "Joann... Joann!"<br /> "Oh, come on, Grandpa's dying! Go get the doctors..."<br /> The ECG monitor told everyone that Raymond's heartbeat was stopping. In tears, his family members all gathered around the bed!<br /> They were crying, not for Raymond's approaching death, but for the properties that were about to be donated!<br /> Tap, tap, tap...<br /> From the hospital corridor came the sound of high heels!<br /> Creak.<br /> The door of the ward was pushed open.<br /> The one who came in was wearing a custom-made white suit! A limited-edition bag was in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. Her slender legs were long enough, but the high-heeled shoes brought them out even more.<br /> She walked in with the ice-cold-beauty sort of vibe, seeming to cause the temperature in the ward to drop a few.<br /> "Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?"<br /> "It's me. I'm here to see my grandpa!" Joanna took off her sunglasses slowly and walked towards the bed.<br /> "Joanna!" The others all gasped.<br /> She had changed so much.<br /> Her long dark hair that she used to keep straight had become curly brown. It used to reach her waist, but now the end of it was dancing around her shoulder. She had changed completely from the next-door sweet girl to a mature, sexy career lady!<br /> What was even more remarkable was that Joanna appeared to be much fitter than before. Meanwhile, the innocence in that pair of eyes had also been emptied. By simply looking into her eyes, one could tell that she must have experienced a lot in the past years!<br /> "Joanna? Oh, finally, Joanna! The Haynes family will be ruined if you don't show up..."<br /> For the first time ever, all the members of the Haynes family were so glad to see Joanna.<br /> "I'm sorry, grandpa. I'm sorry I'm late!"<br /> "Joann," Raymond called out and hardly opened his eyes, "I'm glad that you are safe and alive. Oh, I can finally be relieved..."<br /> With that, Raymond reached out, but the next second, his hand fell back on the bed weakly, his head tilted, and his eyes shut!<br /> Beep!<br /> The ECG was beeping, declaring Raymond's death!<br /> "Grandpa? Grandpa!" Joanna called out, tears rolling down her cheeks.<br /> She knew that her grandpa was the only Haynes that ever cared about her!<br /> "Ah, come on, stop those fake tears! You would have been here long ago if you ever cared about grandpa! Now that it's time to talk about inheritance, you came?" said Shaun's eldest son, Derick. The sarcasm in his tone was obvious.<br /> He had never taken Joanna as his elder sister, and now that she was the biggest beneficiary of Raymond's legacy, Derick hated Joanna even more!<br /> "Enough of that. Call someone and get the funeral arranged first!" said Shaun. Reasonably grieving as he patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Joann, now that you're back, move back home!"<br /> Ingrid's lips curled in disdain, but she was saying merrily, "That's right, come and live with us! Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit 51% of the Haynes Group. The illness must have confused his brain. How could he leave such a large enterprise to a girl who knows nothing about it? Joann, you're still young and dumb. Just let your father continue to run the business."<br /> Ingrid said it as if Joanna was meant to follow her instructions. Deep down, Ingrid was convinced that Joanna was just as stupid as her mother!<br /> By the time Joanna moved back to their house, she would be in Ingrid's full control.<br /> Joanna was expressionless. She said coldly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to take care of grandpa first."<br /> "Yeah, yeah, you're right on this. Raymond's funeral is the most important thing now. Everything else can be postponed."<br /> <br /> ##Chapter 3 Jaydon Grimm<br /> It was late afternoon after the mortuary house picked up Raymond's body.<br /> Joanna walked out of the hospital with the others.<br /> "Where do you live? My driver will give you a ride!" Bruce said. His voice was kind of hoarse because Joanna had not spoken to him once before this.<br /> Joanna smiled politely and shook the car keys in her hand. "Thanks, but I drove here."<br /> The indifferent look on her face made it look like she was simply being polite to a total stranger.<br /> Yet Roxanne took it that Bruce was hitting on Joanna. Her face fell, and quickly, she held Bruce's arm affectionately, saying, "Joann, why don't you move back in with us? At least, you don't have to be alone, and..."<br /> "It's easier for me to stay in a hotel. Bye!" Joanna waved politely and headed for the underground parking.<br /> Soon, a silver Bentley pulled out of the parking lot, and it roared off while in front of the crowd.<br /> "It seems that my sister has been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family."<br /> Bruce did not reply.<br /> During the four years when Joanna had been gone, for various reasons, Bruce did not marry Roxanne. Moreover, with these four years, he realized that Roxanne was simply not the one for him.<br /> The only reason that he did not break up with Roxanne was because of his family. The Haynes family was a wealthy one, but it was nothing compared with the Everetts. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why the Everett family had always been taking care of the Haynes family.<br /> Except for that, there was another crucial reason. Ten years ago, Bruce nearly drowned while he swam, and it was Roxanne who saved him. Ever since then, he swore that he would love and protect this girl for the rest of his life.<br /> "Joann has always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Roxy, you are always stupid and innocent, and people all try to take advantage of you." Ingrid seemed to be praising Joanna, but it was not hard to recognize what she was implying.<br /> "Mom, what are you talking about?"<br /> "Oh, I just want you to learn from Joann. Do you see how good she's been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren't many girls as smart as her anymore."<br /> Bruce somehow was a little upset. "Ingrid, Roxy, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight."<br /> "Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright?" said Ingrid with a flattering smile, afraid of offending her daughter's promising husband-to-be.<br /> Bruce said nothing more, turned around, and got into a car...<br /> Having watched Bruce's car disappear, Roxanne stamped her foot in anger. She complained, "It's all your fault, Mom! You should never have put that bitch Joanna in Bruce's bed six years ago. Bruce never mentions marrying me again. And now that Joanna's back, what are we gonna do?"<br /> Ingrid gritted her teeth grumpily. What her daughter complained about was what Ingrid regretted the most.<br /> She had it all well-designed six years ago.<br /> First, she had Joanna drugged. Then she sent the girl straight to Bruce's room, convinced that Bruce was too drunk to do anything.<br /> After that, Ingrid informed a group of Paparazzi, suggesting they write a drama about how Joanna threw herself in her brother-in-law's arms. Ingrid did so because she was expecting that once Joanna had brought dishonor to the family, the girl would be deprived of the right of inheritance.<br /> Yet she did not expect that it would backfire.<br /> Bruce actually slept with Joanna.<br /> And then things got out of her hands. Under the pressure of Raymond Haynes and Margaret Everett, Bruce ended up getting married to Joanna.<br /> Thinking of this, Ingrid said, "I did it for you, silly girl. Damn it, all because of your grandfather! That old shit has always favored that Joanna. Well, now that the old man's dead, let's see who can stand up for her this time"<br /> "But mom..." Roxanne was still worried.<br /> Even though Bruce had been good to her for years, she could see the frigidity in his eyes.<br /> The man seldom smiled ever since he divorced Joanna.<br /> Over the years, he had totally become a workaholic. Sometimes it took three or two months for Roxanne to see him around once.<br /> "Don't worry. That idiot Joanna is just as stupid as that dead mother of hers. We are falling out with her right now. Not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first..."<br /> Ten days later, it was Raymond's funeral.<br /> It was drizzling rain. All members of the Haynes family had arrived at the cemetery except for Joanna. On top of that, the finest people in Greyport also showed up to pay their respects.<br /> Not to mention the reporters that were gathering outside the cemetery.<br /> After all, Raymond Haynes was quite a big shot in Greyport. So, of course, his funeral was well-focused.<br /> "I heard Raymond willed the eldest daughter of the Haynes family to inherit the Haynes Group."<br /> "Oh, my god, that girl is really shrewd. She seduced her brother-in-law six years ago and forced her sister to leave. Then she became the one marrying into the Everett family instead of her sister, and now she's the director of the Haynes Group. That's impressive!"<br /> "Ha! So what? She's just a scheming woman. She was kicked out by the Everett family, wasn't she? Such a woman is simply disgusting."<br /> Ingrid was overjoyed when hearing the whispers of the crowd. Trying hard to maintain the sad look on her face, she said, "May I have your attention, please? First of all, I'd like to thank you all for coming to Raymond's funeral, and..."<br /> A reporter cut in, "Mrs. Haynes, is it true that Joanna is going to take over the Haynes Group as the new leader?"<br /> Ingrid paused before replying, "I'm not gonna be disturbed by other things on this extremely distressing day. But for a company as big as the Haynes Group, one man's word alone can't take effect. We need a board meeting to pick the right executive director."<br /> "Mrs. Haynes, why isn't Joanna here on such an important day?"<br /> "Ha, that's the question you should ask her..."<br /> While she was saying, outside the cemetery suddenly came the sounds of engines.<br /> A stretch limo was making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.<br /> "Look at that license plate. It seems to be Mr. Grimm's car!" The reporters went all excited and rushed towards the Rolls-Royce.<br /> Yes, that car belonged to Jaydon Grimm.<br /> There were two well-known wealthy young men in Greyport. One of them was Bruce Everett, and the other was Jaydon Grimm.<br /> He was the second son of the casino magnate in Venturas City, and he also ran an entertainment company called Starlight Media. Several new top stars in the showbiz were all artists under his company's control.<br /> Unlike Bruce, who kept a low profile, Jaydon had always been a man of publicity.<br /> The doors of the Rolls-Royce were opened slowly, and Jaydon stepped out first.<br /> "Wow, it's really Mr. Grimm!" The press swarmed forward like flies smelling blood.<br /> After Jaydon got out of the car, he turned to the other side and helped a woman who was dressed all in black out of the car like a real gentleman.<br /> "Is this...? Wow, it's Joanna Haynes!"<br /> "You gotta be kidding. What is Grimm doing with a woman like her?"<br /> As they were all astonished, one by one, came out two adorable kids wearing tiny black suits.<br /> The boys should be at the age of 3 to 4.<br /> And it was like a bomb, igniting everyone's interest.<br /> -----------------------------------------------------------<br /> Due to the word limit, it can only be updated here!<br /> Install the APP to search for the title "<br /> The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife”🤩🤩	LEARN_MORE	https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/qq41bo2f4vulp	101928486111131	YummyStory	https://facebook.com/100088816688674	196	1	1,085,948,572,527,888	2024-01-07 02:00	person_profile	eligible	NONE	1	0	1	Learn more	YummyStory	120203680257360156	www.yumread.com	NONE	video		https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/qq41bo2f4vulppwrw5wskr1i?ad_id={{ad.id}}&campaign={{campaign.name}}&adgroup={{adset.name}}	2024-01-07 02:26	https://scontent-ord5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/417871605_2748620405278148_55172614102100171_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=nGXF5K-PAeAAX9rgNe7&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-1.xx&oh=00_AfBdZ_ewvLQIrfWPb30Vu-e7BN5s1nanSv8pByt9cuRCHA&oe=65A60747	person_profile	0	YummyStory	https://scontent-ord5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/417900817_362353496408827_6636202392020006597_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=kfmgvNtbJzsAX_FyMkQ&_nc_ht=scontent-ord5-2.xx&oh=00_AfApRv2yHiyscsB416Aijd8MbZCsG5N5jFoy9Z21bWae-g&oe=65A69ECE	0	3	YummyStory	2024-01-07 02:00	View Edit Delete

What am I to do walk around with my eyes closed." <br /> For the rest of lunch Cat heard everything, there was to hear about Eric Logan and his string of girlfriends, lovers and mistresses. <br /> Something she had no intention of becoming to any man no matter what they looked like or how charming they might very well be, she had heard it all and she wasn't interested. <br /> ————————<br /> "Cat, while I'm away, if you should need anything, just call my secretary Joanna."<br /> Kathrine rolled her eyes as she watched Eric from her position in her bed, the same bed they had just shared and not for sleeping.<br /> At this moment Eric was dressing to leave on yet another business trip. The plane that would be taking him to London would be leaving within the hour from Sydney airport.... But did he look hurried like any normal person would if their plane was leaving so soon. No, not Eric. He could arrive within 15 minutes of the plane taking off and it still wouldn't matter. Because the Jet was his and he was the only passenger on the flight. That was unless Claudia was going with him. She no longer asked that question. It was something she just didn't want to think about. This trip like so many recently had come up at the last minute. It seemed to be increasing to the point Cat hardly saw Eric anymore. Unless it was for a fast lay in the sack that was.<br /> She observed Eric with a sinking heart as he pulled up his tailored pants, they fit his gorgeous body perfectly. Then again they should being tailor made and cost more than she made in a week......knowing the designer maybe more than a month. Focusing back on his face, she watched the fading August sun shimmer through the blinds in the large bay window, casting his beautiful toned body in a healthy glow. God! He had a great body most male models would die for. Starting with his head of think black lush hair, which was still currently wet from the shower, which they had shared before ending up in bed together again. Eric has one those picture perfect faces that the camera loved, all sharp lines and hard angles, a strong jaw line. Even his nose was perfectly straight having never broken it in his youth like so many young men did by getting into fights or playing sport. His eyes, she thought to be his best feature, she could just stare into his eyes forever, they had a beautiful combination of blue and grey. She had sometimes caught a glimpse of his boyish features but only when he smiled or laughed.<br /> Sitting back against the bedhead Cat sighed as she took in his broad shoulders, narrow waist, lick-able all over tan, rock hard stomach with a thin trail of hair down the center of his abdomen. Oh, she remembered the times she had loved to play with the hair while he was asleep teasing him slowly awake and then into full arousal. Tearing her eyes away from his body while he finished dressing Cat looked down at her fingers playing with the white sheets, blinking back tears.... why had she let this happen again?<br /> Today she had told herself that they wouldn't just end up in bed, having intercourse the first time they had a chance to find a flat surface. Cat silently laughed. Who was she kidding they didn't need a flat surface anywhere would do. Once the urgency of the moment hit them.<br /> But they needed to talk and she had been so sure she could stop the tornado of lust to finally just communicate.<br /> They really needed to talk, she had to be strong... things just could not go on this way! The only thing they seemed to share now was a bed, for a few hours when he could spare the time. Not that they really had a sharing relationship to start with.but things had been better in the beginning hadn't they? Granted there was no love involved on Eric's side and he had warned her not to full in love with him because she didn't picture into his future, how cold was that? Anyone would wonder after hearing that she had still given herself to him. Insanity maybe! No she couldn't say that really, all she could say was her feeling for Eric had overwhelmed she, to the point that she needed him and dam the consequences.<br /> They would share each other exclusively until the lust wore itself out. Eric didn't keep any women in his life for longer an six months, until her, maybe that was the problem maybe he was bored. After eight months, he was over her! He had to be, right? But that didn't explain his urgency and lust when he did see her. Then again Eric was a highly-sexed male and after not having intercourse for the times he was away maybe it was just getting rid of sexual tension.<br /> Oh! Cat hated that idea... was she just an outlet for his needs. What they had was a pleasurable coupling of two people enjoying each other while they where both happy. She wasn't happy anymore to be honest with herself she hadn't been for sometime!<br /> Maybe somewhere in her delusional brain she had like most women in her situation that maybe if she was really lucky and everything Eric needed.... one day he would realise he loved her and couldn't live without her. In the beginning she had envisioned the just being with Eric would be enough, that she would be happy.<br /> She could see now that was just a pipe dream. It was tearing her apart, it was so hard to be in love with someone that didn't return your feelings, well didn't know about her feelings to start with she had never told him because she was scared that she would push her out of his life so fast that the door would hit her on the hip on the way out. So she had kept her feelings to herself. She really had been kidding herself for eight months that things would be alright. What a joke that was... things hadn't gotten better, if anything they had gotten worse. How had things gone so dreadfully wrong..<br /> "Cat! Have you been listening to a word I've said?" Eric demanded pulling her out of her internal thoughts.<br /> "Yes!" taking a deep breath, having words with Eric was never easy. He had a way of tying you up in knots or maybe that was just her.<br /> "Eric, for one thing I do know who your secretary is, I see and talk to her more than I do with you of late and I was at her wedding last month if you remember? It was the same wedding you yourself were invited to but at the very last minute cancelled because of some glitch in London."<br /> Eric frowned at her abrupt change of mood.<br /> But that's just it your beautiful stupid man ....this is how I have been feeling and like the good arm candy that I am I haven't said anything to you. But this was aid silently inside Cat's head not ready to voice all just yet. Hoping that maybe I'm more than just arm candy.... huh! now she really was living a fairytale.<br /> If Eric had felt anything for her at all in the eight months they had been together he would have said something by now and he wouldn't be spending less time with her he would try and spend more time wouldn't he?<br /> If only Eric trusted his very capable staff to do their jobs handling any problems that arise.<br /> Eric demanded the best and expected his staff to work long hard hours. Even though his staff are the best at what they do, it appeared that no matter the problem or issue Eric was the one that had to be there to fix it.<br /> As Eric's company Logan holdings inc had expanded, he had obtained and trained some of the best people in the world, they had to be the best in their field, Eric wouldn't except anything less... Due to the high demand on their time Eric paid them well to keep them loyal. He had employees willing and more than able to take responsibility for major operations, he still had not delegated some of his workload, one of the companies, a computer software designer, had been expanding rapidly in the last four months so Eric was spending more time at work and less time with her.<br /> She had not seen him at all last week, if he hadn't been at the office until late at night, you could find him dining with clients or other important people within his business network that only had an importance to his future and ongoing business concerns. When she did see him before that, it was for a brief time in bed before he would leave to go back to work, he no longer stayed the night like he would have done in the beginning, even today had been a stolen few hours before he had to leave in between work and going to the airport. There was a time when they would have talk until the early hours of the morning on the weekends when they both didn't have to get up to work the next day. They had even taken the odd walk in the park on a beautiful day or relaxed over dinner, music and spirit.<br /> Those times appear to be gone forever. Eric finished dressing, he rounded the bed to her side, sat down facing her, his powerful thigh pushed against her softer one heating her blood... she shifted away.<br /> "So what bought on this sudden bad attitude?"Eric asked watchfully reaching out to pick up her long red hair laying on the sheet that she was clutching against her breasts, this action send even more heat to her centre.<br /> How easy was she? They had already slept with.... no call it for what it is, had intercourse twice already and here she really getting hot over again with him playing with just her hair! Cat furiously glared at him, he was treating her like some naughty child. She pulled away from his hand. She pushed even more against the bedhead, holding the white sheet tighter to her breasts. How can this Genius man be so stupid? How can he be so blind?<br /> But this wasn't a business deal this was personal, Cat thought to herself before saying in an even tone. "I really don't think you want to hear what I have to say, you never do, because it's against what you want to hear, so there for in your eyes not really important, so you don't listen...I really think you should go you'll be late for your flight."<br /> "Cat....."<br /> But before Eric had a chance to say anymore, Cat cut him off. "Don't Cat me like that Eric, it will not work anymore, I'm not. happy with the way things are.... I have tried to verbalise how I feel to you, all you seem to do is override them or use intercourse to keep me quiet. We don't love each other." oh! how that lie hurt but she will keep her pride if it was the last thing she did... "maybe that's what I need to look for. I want so much more than we are giving each other. Eric, sexual life on the run is just not for me! there is no point continuing this....this affair" Cat took another deep breath holding back tears she would not cry, she would not cry... she told herself over and over again hoping that, if she told herself this it would some how keep the tears at bay. She had just told this man so many lies because she know if this kept going, he would kill her slowly with his indifference.<br /> Tears formed around her eyes even though she tried to hold them there.<br /> "Come on baby, don't be silly everything is fine, I've just been working a bit to hard lately that's all.." Eric looked at his gold watch before adding " ... look, I can't talk now, I really have to go, we will talk when I get back."<br /> Seeming to be convinced that she would be happy with this he stood up preparing to leave, A single tear rolled down her cheek.....<br /> "Don't bother coming back Eric, I meant what I said about us being over, I can't go on like this."<br /> "Now Kitty..."<br /> This bought a rumble of anger from Cat's throat "No" she shouted "NO ... I mean every word Eric, forget the keys I gave you they will not work after tomorrow, I'm having the locks changed."<br /> He frowned "Cat.." he tried again not silly enough to use the stupid nickname after the last eruption it had caused<br /> But she still didn't give him a chance. "OUT" she cried, she really couldn't take it anymore. So she picked up his pillow and threw it at his head. It missed ...<br /> "I'll see you when I get back, we will talk then."<br /> "No. We. Will. Not." she screeched back, but all she was yelling at was the closed bedroom door. He was gone seconds later as she heard the front door click closed. Cat curled herself into a tight ball as the first sobs rocked her slim body.<br /> The next day<br /> Cat moved behind Eric's desk sitting down in his leather chair, sighing she needed to get this over with and remembering moments in this office was not good! Just to many memories... even being at this desk wasn't helping! closing her eyes for a moment to clear her mind and focus on what needed to be done.... Cat reopened her eyes and pulled open the desk's left hand drawer, removing pen and paper.... she really should have done this at home and then just left the letter on his desk but there just hadn't been time and even now she wasn't sure what to write! What should I say? Will he even listen? Maybe not! knowing Eric like she did. Eric was used to getting his own way and getting anything and everything he wanted.<br /> Cat began writing<br /> Eric<br /> I have tried talking to you, but it's like talking to myself, nothing I have said matters to you or you just choose not to hear it. You don't listen, I think it's best all around if we don't see each other anymore. All I seem to be is a warm body for when the urge hits. You had a long string of lovers before me, so l'm sure ending things will be no hardship for you and no feelings hurt. Wishing you all the best.<br /> Cat<br /> Cat sat there for a long time just staring at the letter, she wanted to cry and tears did well, but she told herself, No more she wouldn't cry and not here. She wasn't sure how long she did sit there, when Joanne called her name a few times from the doorway, she hit earth.<br /> "Sorry Jo, my mind was elsewhere, l've got a few things going on right now." Cat folded her letter putting it into a envelope also found in Eric's top drawer before sealing it.<br /> "So I noticed." Jo smiled<br /> "Jo can you give this to Eric when he comes back." Joanne frowned at her requested, because Jo would know after an extended time away the first person to see Eric would be Cat.<br /> Cat stopped any questions now by saying quickly " I'II explain later, ok" but that didn't stop Jo as she hoped.<br /> "Cat what's going on? Has something happened between Eric and you? "<br /> Cat frowned, she had set herself on this path there was no hiding it and she didn't want to... it's just how much was she ready to talk about. "It's over between us, Jo. He doesn't love me, he takes our relationship for granted... well what relationship really, he told me on the onset what it was to him when we started this. So this affair isn't going anywhere and I find that now I need more than I have with Eric."<br /> "Cat, your wrong Eric does love you...I see the way he looks at you."<br /> Cat gave a humourless laugh. "Has he told you that...." Cat waited for Jo's reply, when none came she went on "No! no I didn't think so...he treats me as a mistress, he just doesn't pay my bills because I will not let him I do have some pride" getting up from Eric's chair she added "only good thing that came out of our affair was the friendship I have with you."<br /> "Jo looked like she wanted to say more, but reframed, what could she say! Eric didn't love her and she was wasting her life.<br /> "Ok friend, I'll give Eric the letter but I think.."<br /> Cat interrupted Joanna before she could finish "please Jo, lets have a nice lunch and not talk about Eric.... well at least until after we have eaten, I really don't want indigestion." Trying to lighten the mood. Jo looked miffed but agreed.<br /> "So are you going to tell me about what's going on? We have finished lunch now Cat, you did say in the office that you would tell me later." Cat put down her coffee cup before saying anything she wasn't exactly sure what to say, Jo got on so well with her boss and she really didn't want to be the one to complicate things between them.<br /> Joanna had talked about some of the women Eric had dated before she came along and they did share a lot.<br /> "Cat..." Jo's voice made her look up.<br /> "Sorry Jo, listen I have to run, Mrs Logan gave me this week off and this being my last day I still have so much to do and I'm sure you really need to get back to the office." Cat stood quickly and picking up her handbag, pulling out the money for their meals it was her turn.<br /> "Please give the letter to Eric the day he gets back!" Cat gave Jo a quick hug, then left before her friend said anymore on the subject.<br /> Working for a woman was so much better not to say that a woman could not be predatory but Mrs Logan was an older woman with children and she had been married to a man so Cat really didn't thinks she was Mrs Logan's type. On Monday morning Cat arrived at her new job early and found as the day progressed she didn't have any trouble with the tasks given to her. Allison was more than happy with her standard of work, granted it was only just before lunch Cat gave a silent giggle.. Oh! she felt so much happier not having to worry about being asked to stay late or being left only with her boss.<br /> When lunch hour did arrive the friend who had told her about the position who happened to be a secretary on the same floor asked her to lunch to celebrate getting the job.<br /> "Julie! lets not celebrate just yet l'm still on probation and I don't want to go out to lunch on my first day what would Allison think?"<br /> Allison walked out from her office at that moment saying "Don't be silly Katherine. We have worked hard this morning and you arrived early. Go enjoy a nice lunch no need to clock watch."<br /> Allison liked to use Cat full name even after she had told her Cat was ok Cat jumped up smiling.<br /> "Are you sure?"<br /> "Yes, please go it's no problem.." Allison reassured her.<br /> Cat grab her handbag from her desk drawer, asking Allison on the way out "Can I bring anything back for you?"<br /> "No dear, thank you. I'm about to head out myself and not sure if l'lI be back until 2pm so don't rush back from vour lunch."<br /> Cat grinned "Ok, thanks." and left with a smiling Julie.<br /> Once they were seated at an outside table in the local cafe closest to their office building and lunch was ordered.<br /> Julie asked. "So how is the new job, Kitty" Julie used Cat's pet name her foster father had given her and Julie seemed to like using it even though she had long since grow out of such a childish name.<br /> Cat laughed it was a genuinely beautiful sound making men turn to look at her, not that she noticed.<br /> Cat had never been into attracting a man's attention on purpose it always seemed to make her uncomfortable.<br /> "Oh...it's only been a few hours but I can tell you I love working for Mrs Logan" Julie herself had not applied for the job even though it would have been a step up.<br /> Because her family had planned to move back home to Cowra in the near future to be with Julie's mother, who had no family close by and hadn't been well lately. Julie worries about her mum all the time and her living alone outside of town. Julie's family are long time friends of Cat's foster parents. So they both came from the same town in New South Wales.<br /> Julie smiled and got a mischievous glint in her eye that she always got before saying something outrageous. It's got its perks I'm sure." Julie laughed.<br /> Cat was sure she was missing something, maybe an inside joke that she wasn't aware of yet "Sorry?" raising her left eyebrow in question.<br /> "Come on Kitty, I know you haven't had much to do with men but Mr Logan is one yummy piece of man and you get to enjoy that view him every time he sees his mother. God, now he has what I call a body to die for.... I wish David had a body like that."<br /> "Julie!" Cat laughed at Julie when she started fanning herself with her hand. Julie and David had been married for four years, they had been high school sweethearts and married straight after high school. They had all been in the same year together. David had a great body from want she knew, not like she had ever seen him undressed only ever in swim trunks, he had been very popular at school as well, school president, played the guitar in the school rock band and captain of the football team, very athletic joining in with anything the lest bit sporty and every girl wanted him with his sun bleached hair and tanned and toned body but he had only ever had eyes for Julie.<br /> David might have put on a good show but in actual fact had been very shy around the girl he really wanted...Julie, who was a take the bull by the horns, take charge person nobody stood in front of Julie's way, she had a great personality could hold a room full of people interested in whatever she was saying no matter the topic, she just had a persona that made people gravitate towards her. Julie had told her once it made up for her lack of looks, Julie believed she was plain, but David didn't think so and Cat herself had never thought so.. with a curvy build and blonde hair and intelligent brown eyes standing at only 5.2.<br /> David had never cared about what others had said he had wanted Julie that much he had come to Cat for help, because Julie was her friend and Cat having never shown any interest in him herself, she had help them come together.<br /> "I love David with all my heart and would never cheat on the big guy, but that doesn't mean I have turned blind and can't appreciate the appeal of a hot man when I see one. What am I to do walk around with my eyes closed." She said laughing.<br /> She had a point and Julie would never cheat on David.<br /> "Sorry to disappoint you Julie, I haven't met Mr Logan yet, I only started this morning." She reminded Julie.<br /> "Well true, wait until you do.."she started fanning herself again. "no wonder he has every woman he wants."<br /> For the rest of lunch she heard everything, there was to hear about Eric Logan and his string of girlfriends, lovers and mistresses. something she had no intention of becoming to any man no matter what they looked like or how charming they might very well be, she had heard it all and she wasn't interested. Katherine was happy on her own, she had great friends fewer in number now she lived in the city away from home and the love of her foster parents Jack and Dawn Nelson who she tried to see at least once a month with a trip home. Back at the office Cat had just sat down behind her desk when a tall dark breathtakingly gorgeous man came storming through the door, a face like thunder.<br /> "Where is she?"he demanded from her.
