No one knew that the strikingly handsome and incomparably noble heir of the Oran family had secretly gotten married-only for his wife to run away while carrying his child. That was, until one day, when the young Alex cornered the woman who had fled with his baby in front of all the media. Pressing her against the wall, he kissed her until her face burned crimson, then narrowed his eyes with smug satisfaction. Alex: "Moved?" The trembling little thing: "I-I daren't move!" Alex "I *allow* you to be moved." The shivering little creature pinned against the wall: "*Whimper*... I really daren't move!"
The strength of the man's hand was getting stronger and stronger, and it got closer little by little. The pleasant smell instantly enveloped her. Paul muller stared at him in a daze.
For a second, she almost thought that he had finally seen her...
But the next second, her body was slammed into the chair!
Paul muller's body ached. "President Morgan..."
"Enough! Paul muller, why are you putting on an act? Since you want it, I'll satisfy you!"
Paul muller trembled and struggled to escape from the man's body. She wanted to be with him, but it was not like this!
But at this moment, the man was like an enraged beast, not giving her any right to resist.
"Don't you want it? Don't you want to give birth to a baby for me? Paul muller, you used such a despicable method to drug me!" She pinched her chin hard, and her voice pierced into her bone marrow like ice.
Paul muller's eyes widened in shock.
"To drug him?"
"I... Hmm..."
Before he could finish his explanation, he was stopped.
Immediately after, there was a sharp pain under her body, and Paul muller's tears instantly rolled down...
At the age of seven, she saw him for the first time. At the age of seventeen, she engraved him in her heart. But now...
Looking at the tears in the corner of Paul muller's eyes, his body stiffened. For a moment, there was a faint pain in the depths of his heart. But when he thought of what she had done, his eyes instantly became cold.
And then...
"Does it hurt? Paul muller, you must remember this moment!" He wanted her to deeply remember this moment. She would never forget it for the rest of her life. He wanted her to forever remember what despicable means she had used to get under his body! But, did she think that was enough?
"Paul muller, look at yourself, you're not even as professional as you are!"
Paul muller's face was pale. Although his body was resisting, because he was the man she had loved for so many years, his body gradually softened uncontrollably.
The man noticed that, and the contempt in his eyes became even more obvious.
Finally, an unknown amount of time had passed.
Paul muller lay on the ground like a broken doll, while he was just frowning in his suit.
"Clean up yourself and then come to my office! Don't let me see such a disgusting you again."
Frowning, the man shifted his gaze away from her. Then, he tidied himself up, turned around, and left without looking back.
Paul muller curled up on the ground in a daze. His messy hair covered half of her face, and there was no joy or sadness in his expression.
His body was in great pain.
But it was less than a ten-thousandth of his heart.
She had never thought that she and Nathaniel would end up like this. She had never thought that he would only use her as a toy. In fact, after he used her up, he would say such disgusting words...
After a long while, Paul muller stood up from the ground. Looking at the messy clothes on the ground that could no longer be worn, her eyelashes trembled.
He walked into the spare bathroom, washed up, and put on his clothes.
The clothes were still late. In the past three years, she had bought him a lot of clothes, but he had never worn them. It would be a waste to put them here.
The corners of her lips curled into a self-mocking smile as tears flowed down her cheeks.
After tidying up, she stood in front of Nathaniel's office and knocked on the door. Paul muller was still the calm and self-restraint secretary.
"Come in."
The man's cold voice came.
She pushed the door open and went in.
In the spacious and simple office, every decoration showed the taste of its owner. The man was sitting on the chair, and his legs were naturally folded together. He looked at her with the usual indifference and contempt in his eyes.
It was as if everything had never happened.
Paul muller lowered his head in a panic. From the day she married into the Morgan family, she knew how hard it would be for her to walk. She should have gotten used to such indifferent eyes, but at this moment... she felt full of humiliation.
The air was silent for a moment.
Finally, Paul muller looked up and said in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Morgan, do you have anything to say?"
"Pfft." The corners of the man's mouth twitched and he spat out a sneer. "She's back."
"I hope you don't show up in front of her in the future, let alone let her know our relationship! Otherwise."
Paul muller's body stiffened.
"She's back?"
She was not unfamiliar with the woman mentioned by Nathaniel at all. Even though she had never appeared in her life, she could always influence her life. She was like a curse, engraved in their marriage.
Paul muller's throat was sore.
The man in front of her was always as cold as ice, and his eyes were as cold as a knife to her. But when he mentioned that woman, he was so gentle that she couldn't help but be jealous and crazy.
She just stared at him quietly until he frowned impatiently. She was shocked to find that the young man who was smiling like a spring breeze in her memory had become vague... and disappeared with the wind.
After a while.
Paul muller suppressed the bitterness in his heart and asked the question that he had been holding back for three years, "Sarah, did you have any feelings for me in the past three years..." He had loved me, even a little bit...
"No!"
Before she could finish her sentence, she heard two simple words.
Paul muller's heart clenched.
She should have known the answer a long time ago, but she still had to deceive herself with such little and unreachable expectations.
For eight years, she had been young. Her life was full of him, and all her love was because of him. The name "Jesse" occupied her whole youth.
His eyes were cold and mocking, as if he was laughing at her. He laughed at her self- affair, at her embarrassment, and at her humble love.
Slowly...
She also laughed. She also felt that her problem just now was ridiculous to the extreme.
Why didn't she know her own limits?
Three years ago, why did she marry him? How could she forget?
Three years...
If this man was really so tempted, he would not humiliate her like this today.
Nathaniel frowned.
He didn't know why this woman would smile. When he mentioned other people, her reaction was calm and unexpected. This kind of calm didn't seem like a reaction a wife should have...
Or, what did she want to do?
His heart was suddenly filled with disgust and irritation.
"Paul muller! If you dare to let her know something that she shouldn't know, I will definitely make you regret it!"
Paul muller burst into tears.
In the past three years.
She had been a wife and did not do anything that she should do. She was well-behaved and generous, dealing with him and his family. Although he was outside all day and had affairs with all kinds of women, she had never complained about it. She thought that as long as she paid enough, he would see her one day.
...
She was back.
He came to warn her not to let their relationship spread out!
"Okay." She finally calmed down. "Don't worry, she won't know." Yes, she wouldn't know.
In a few more days, she would no longer have anything to do with him, so that woman would never know about it again.
The office fell silent again.
Nathaniel narrowed his eyes and stared at the face of the woman in front of him. There were still drops of water on her hair. Her face, which had not been made up yet, did not make people feel indifferent. On the contrary, it made people unable to move their eyes away.
Even if he hated her and hated her to the core, he had to admit that this woman was indeed very beautiful. At least, among the people he had seen, no one was better than her.
It was a pity that this face grew on a disgusting person!
The look in his eyes turned cold. He suppressed the irritation in his heart and said, "Get out of here."
"Yes."
Paul muller lowered his gaze and walked out of the room step by step.
It was not until she walked to the door that she suddenly stopped. She held the armrest with her fingers and said, "I'm sorry."
Why did she, a woman like her, dare to slip out of his sight without making a sound? Did she think this was a hotel? Light from the house streamed out as usual, and Izaiah dashed inside, but he couldn't find Ashley anywhere. The usual lights, the sofa, the TV wall, the sofa wall, the blue chandelier... it seemed to be missing something... That woman, that woman didn't even wait for him today. A smirk appeared at the corner of Izaiah's mouth. In the past, no matter how late he came home, that woman would always curl up on the sofa, quietly waiting for him to have a late-night meal. But today, he didn't see her at all. Indeed, she couldn't pretend any longer. Fine, he would let her experience the taste of being humiliated and bruised all over her body later. Izaiah was starting to feel tired. He changed his shoes, took a bath, but there was still no sight of Ashley, and her voice couldn't be heard either. It seemed... she was really not home. A sudden fury erupted in Izaiah's heart. Hastily wrapping his bath towel around himself and slipping his shoes on without care, he searched from the bedroom to the guest room, from the closet, even to the basement... every corner where a person could hide was turned upside down, and he still couldn't find her. Unable to find her, Izaiah's anger grew. This woman, her performance tonight was infuriating! He tried to calm down, forcing a smile on his lips, though his expression was far from pleasant. This woman's heart was growing more wild, doing as she pleased. Good. Leaving, are you? Then don't bother coming back. Izaiah bolted the front door and even locked his bedroom securely before turning in for the night. Without Ashley's nightly declaration of love before bed, without her scent, without her nauseating words, Izaiah found himself sleeping particularly well - better than he had ever slept before. Except for a faint sense of loss when he woke abruptly, and except for the icy cold temperature of his bed linens. The next day, Izaiah woke up not knowing how long he had slept. His eyes still held traces of sleep as he reached for his cellphone. To his surprise, it was almost eleven o'clock. "Ashley, are you courting death?!" Izaiah shouted habitually towards the doorway. If it was like before, Ashley would always bring him a glass of milk, with a disgustingly dutiful look as though she were a good wife and mother. Damn it, why didn't that woman wake him up today? He cursed inwardly as he snapped back to reality. Ashley had disappeared last night. After declaring that she wanted a divorce, she was gone. He wouldn't believe it. He simply wouldn't believe this woman could escape from his control. In no time, Ashley would beg him to return to her, to give her a little love, and yes, even to keep her. Ashley, that despicable woman. It was better without her. There would no longer be anyone to trouble him. Izaiah went to his company as usual. After all, he was the CEO of Flores Enterprise. What if he was late? Who dared to question his being late? From being an insignificant nobody to become the president of such a big company like Flores, There was no one in New York who would not envy him. They would be more envious of the fact that he had married the Flores' beautiful daughter, he had become a winner in life at a young age. However, life was not always so simple and perfect. Izaiah laughed bitterly, adjusted the tie around his neck and strode into the company. "Ashley, the company is still in my hands. Where can you run off to?" With familiar greetings in the background, Izaiah walked expressionlessly into his office. As soon as he sat down, however, the door was pushed open again. Joey said, "Good day, Mr President." Joey is a thorough "badass", the heir to the Gomez's Corporation. He has spent his entire childhood with Izaiah, and because of that, their relationship waxed quite strong till date. Despite being indifferent towards his family assets, Joey spends every day sucking up to Izaiah. Izaiah glanced at Joey and asked, "What's up?" Shaking off his joking demeanor, Joey threw a stack of documents at Izaiah, saying, "These are some psychological analyses regarding mental illness. You should take a look. I believe that Katelynn's condition is actually quite normal..." Izaiah glared at Joey who wisely chose to shut his mouth. Ashley is after all, Izaiah's wife in name. All high society was present for their wedding, and they all knew about their relationship. Of course, there were also those who knew that Ashley did not seem to get along with Izaiah. However, almost no one knew about Izaiah's relationship with Katelynn. The psychologically "fragile" Katelynn was terrified of rumors, so Izaiah seldom appeared with her alone, let alone allowing others to know of their relationship. Joey thought for a moment and said, "Is Ashley becoming jealous because you care so much about 'Katelynn'..." "Shut up," Izaiah replied without even raising his head.
