After being drunk, she seduced him. The man's eyes were like a blade. He looked at her and pushed her against the corner. "Don't provoke me. You can't afford it." Later, Doreen Perry broke off her engagement and went home with him. After marriage, Doreen became a stepmother and raised his children. She knew that he married her not only because she was obedient and easily controlled, but also because she looked like a woman. She filed for divorce, but he hugged her and begged, "Don't get divorced, okay?" She just smiled. "Mr. Elton, are you afraid?"
"Ms. Swinton, according to your report results, you have been diagnosed with gastric cancer, and it is already at an advanced stage."
Ingrid Swinton sat blankly at the bus stop, clenching the report she had just received. Her beautiful eyes were empty and sad.
Even though it was midsummer, she felt cold all over.
In the past two years, she had been suffering from stomachaches. Recently, the pain intensified, so she came to the hospital to get medicine. The doctor suggested a gastroscopy. She thought it was just ordinary gastritis, but it turned out to be cancer!
She had just celebrated her 23rd birthday last week. But now...
Ingrid clicked open her Facebook.
She saw a photo of a pregnancy test report belonging to a woman named Allison Becker.
Allison also sent her a message: "So what if you and Orville have been married for three years? He has never told anyone you're his wife, and now he even asks me to accompany him on business trips."
"He wants me to give birth to this child. As a woman, I advise you to sign the divorce agreement as soon as possible! Continuing like this will only make Orville hate you even more!"
Ingrid enlarged the photo and stared at Allison's report carefully.
Then, she looked at the report of herself again.
Her husband's first love was pregnant with a child, but she got cancer.
How ridiculous!
She smiled, and her eyes eventually went red.
Four years ago, when Orville was seriously injured in a car accident, Allison abandoned Orville and went abroad alone for her dancing dream.
Ingrid disregarded the objections of her family and friends, gave up her pride, hid her identity, and came to Orville's side to take care of him humbly.
A year later, Orville recovered.
He asked her what did she want in return.
At the age of 20, she mustered up the courage to tell him that he was all she wanted.
The next day, they got married.
There was no wedding, and the Silenville in the private villa area on the mountainside was their residence.
After three years of hidden marriage, Orville never disclosed their relationship to the public and only took her back to the old house of the Quentin family on weekends.
Everyone only knew that she was Orville's chief secretary.
They barely knew that she devoted herself to being a qualified Mrs. Quentin.
However, she was dispensable to Orville.
He couldn't remember her birthday, couldn't remember her being allergic to shrimp and pollen, and never asked her anything about her family...
After being married for three years, they had done the most intimate thing, but they were still the most familiar strangers.
Even so, she still felt that it would be good to live a lifetime of respecting each other like strangers. At least she could keep him forever.
However, even this humble wish was disillusioned two months ago.
Someone broke the news: the famous Broadway dancer Allison Becker returned triumphantly. Orville, the president of the Quentin Group, personally picked her up at the airport and had a romantic dinner with her.
After that, there was occasional news about Allison and Orville's upcoming marriage.
No one in Nortown knew that Orville had been married secretly for many years, and no one knew that Ingrid was Orville's wife.
The most ironic thing was that a reporter once interviewed her and asked whether the news about Allison and Orville's upcoming marriage was true.
At that time, she faced the camera and replied calmly, "This is Mr. Quentin's private matter. As a secretary, I have no right to ask about it."
But in fact, she did ask him on the day after Allison had returned.
And Orville's answer was, "You have no right to ask me anything!"
This answer stung her, and all her sanity collapsed at that moment.
Like a jealous bitch, she tore her throat and accused Allison of abandoning Orville back then.
But Orville didn't care at all!
That was the first time they had quarreled since they got married, and it was also the only time Ingrid lost control of her emotions in front of Orville.
The fierce quarrel ended in astonishment when Orville said, "Let's divorce."
He slammed the door and left, leaving her in a daze. She didn't recover for a long time.
That night, Orville didn't come back. Ingrid sat alone on the sofa in the living room and waited all night.
The next day, Orville's first divorce agreement came.
In the next two months, he would send her a copy every week. And she had received eight copies in total.
As thoughts returned, Ingrid's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she raised her head to force back tears.
She only had half a year to live... her last days should not be wasted on this ridiculous and sad relationship.
She had loved and worked hard. At least she had tried everything and had no regret about this relationship.
And now, it had come to an end!

"You look absolutely edible," Sean growled, his eyes devouring her. Mia felt a rush of heat between her thighs "Oh, you think so?" she purred, turning to face him. She reached out and traced her fingers along the ribbon that wrapped around his waist. "Well, I've been waiting for this all day. And I'm starving." Sean's smile grew into a predatory grin. "Then let us feast," he said, and in a flash, the ribbon fell away, exposing his rock-hard length. He stepped closer, and Mia felt the warmth of his breath on her face as he whispered, "You're going to take every inch of us tonight, aren't you?"

But instead, her boss proposed, "Marry me. Please consider it." "Mr. Bates, you're kidding me, right?"
"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself. He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate." "And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
"Is it considered betrayal to develop feelings for your best friend's boyfriend? What about when fate intervenes, and he turns out to be your destined mate? You might think it's luck and thank the moon goddess for such a twist of fate. That's what I believed until the love of my life uttered those dreaded words: 'I want a divorce!' As I stared at the pregnancy test in my hands, I realized it was better to keep my secret to myself. My name is Violet, and this is my story."
