Royce came out of the shower and looked at the woman lying on the bed with her back turned to him, there was no warmth in his eyes.
"I was next door, you can come and find me if you need anything."
After saying that, the man left.
Upon hearing the sound of the door closing, Mya slowly opened her swollen eyes and clenched her fingers tightly around the edge of the blanket.
Royce did not stay overnight, indicating that he was just using her as a means of venting.
You see, he was really good at insulting people.
Mya understood her identity from her previous attitude, but when it actually happened, she still felt heartbroken.
She sniffed her nose and got up from the bed, then went into the bathroom.
Royce had just taken a bath, and the bathroom was filled with warm steam.
Mya turned the knob and warm water poured down from above, but her heart felt cold.
After washing, she stood in front of the mirror and raised her h
Due to health reasons, Viviana could no longer attend kindergarten.She missed her kindergarten teachers and friends very much. Her biggest wish was to go to kindergarten.Mya kissed her little face and comforted, "After Viviana gets better, she can go to kindergarten."Viviana lay on her shoulder, feeling a bit frustrated. "What if Viviana doesn't get better? Then she won't be able to go to kindergarten anymore."Mya's tears instantly flowed down. "No, Viviana will definitely recover. I still have to take Viviana to the amusement park to ride the carousel, buy beautiful balloons, go on a nature expedition to catch butterflies and fly kites, go to Icemarble to see the colorful auroras, and travel around the world. Viviana will definitely be fine."Viviana suddenly sat up and looked at Mya. "Mom, my previous wish was to go to kindergarten, but my current wish has changed."Mya asked, "What did it become? Is it a candy house, perhaps?"
The private room was quiet, and everyone's gaze fell on the two individuals.The dim light shrouded the man's deep facial features, handsome and noble.The woman's face showed signs of vicissitudes, but her features were delicate and her foundation was excellent.Mya originally thought that the breakfast in the morning was the man's way of reminiscing about their past relationship.It now seems that it was just to make her believe that she was still loved.His purpose was achieved, as the feeling of hearing those words from the man just now was like falling from the peak of a roller coaster.She was feeling uncomfortable, really, really uncomfortable.One second ago, it was heaven, and the next second, it was hell.Mya knew that Royce just wanted to embarrass her, wanted to humiliate her.Sure enough, Royce's thin lips curved into a smile as he caressed the soft flesh around her waist, glancing at the brandy on the table
Everyone knew Royce's temper, no one could have a say in what he wanted to do.I didn't expect Hailie to be so brave, she actually dared to stop him face to face.Everyone present was sweating for her.Sure enough, Royce ignored Hailie's words and pointed at the girl Mya had just mentioned, saying in a deep voice, "You, come here."The girl, flattered and surprised, quickly twisted her waist and came in front of the man.Royce reached out his hand, and the girl placed her hand in the man's palm.The man exerted a little force, and the girl, weak and boneless, fell into his arms and sat on his lap.The girl's heart was pounding, after all, she had been with so many men, most of whom were greasy men with big bellies. Some of them were even older than her father, like Royce, who was a rare gem among these people.Royce was the eldest son of the Keller family, young and talented, exceptionally handsome, and exuded a strong masculin
Just as Mya had anticipated, a bigger insult came unexpectedly.After Royce returned, he didn't even take a shower and forcefully possessed her.Royce was taking a shower in the master bedroom bathroom, while Mya went to the guest bedroom bathroom.She looked at the red marks all over her body, closed her eyes, and her mind was filled with words of insult from men."Choose a woman for me? I bet she would definitely be better at serving people than you! You are like a dead body, without any sense of fun!"Mya cried and said, "Then you could go find her! I didn't stop you!"Royce pinched her waist, bit her back, and then turned her face to kiss her.The powerful impact made her dizzy, and in the end, she could only let it manipulate her.Mya didn't know when this torment had ended, she only knew that the ceiling was shaking.Looking at her haggard self in the mirror, she slowly turned around to look at the bite marks on he
Mya placed her handbag on top of the dresser, took off her coat, changed her shoes, and walked over to stand in front of the man.Royce leaned against the back of the sofa, looking her up and down."Do you know how to serve a man?"Mya had no mood to please him at all, her voice was very soft, "I don't want to today."Royce suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground, between his two legs.This was an extremely humiliating posture.Royce pinched her chin, "Did you see the photo? So you're throwing a tantrum?"Mya's eyes became moist, and she trembled her eyelashes. "No, it wasn't. That was your choice. Weren't you supposed to be with a woman like her from the beginning?""You have some self-awareness," Royce wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, "You stay here and be my lover obediently."Mya knew that she had no way to go, no way to retreat, and no way to escape.
When Mya arrived at the company in the morning, Owen hurriedly came to her workstation."Mya, Mr. Keller was already waiting for you in the conference room. Are you ready?"Today is Wednesday, and normally Royce has a morning meeting on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Unexpectedly, he didn't have a meeting at his own company and came here specifically to find her.She felt that she would definitely not pass today, Royce was clearly picking on her.She nodded slightly, "I was ready."After several encounters, Owen knew that there must have been some issues between Royce and Mya. After all, Mya's plan was already perfect, and Royce was just finding faults in it.Just putting the customer first, even if there was nothing wrong, he couldn't say anything to the other party, he could only make the employees keep modifying it until the customer was satisfied.Not to mention, this client was Mr. Keller, the eldest son of the Keller family.
Because she was being questioned, all eyes fell on Mya.Mya looked at Royce and asked in a soft voice, "I said this was my plan, does Mr. Keller believe it?"As this sentence was spoken, the conference room was filled with a buzz of discussions."Is it true or not? Mya said Paloma's plan was hers?""They were not getting along before, it's hard to say.""However, Paloma was well-versed in this plan, I think it was all Paloma's doing.""Mya was very capable. Paloma had never come up with such a perfect solution before!""Well, if we had the ability, wouldn't we have done it a long time ago?"***Paloma's face turned pale and then green, she didn't expect Royce to ask about Mya.She complained, "This was something I worked hard on, how could it be done by Mya?"Royce ignored her words and simply asked Mya, "What evidence do you have to prove that this plan was made by you?"Mya stood up and said, "Last
Paloma was taken away by the police, and what awaited her was the prosecution by Royce Law Firm.She sat in the interrogation room and when she learned this news, she was completely dumbfounded.She didn't expect that Royce would use the company's lawyers for a lover, and she suddenly had a suspicion.Royce's feelings towards Mya were not as cold as they seemed on the surface, he might have genuinely liked her.With this thought, she broke out in a cold sweat on her back.Fortunately, she didn't do anything else, otherwise her own safety would have been at risk.Paloma's story spread throughout the entire wedding planning industry, and of course, it reached Hailie's ears.Hailie managed to bribe a female employee, Aiyana Cliff, from the Moment Studio. As soon as this happened, she recorded a video and sent it to Hailie.Hailie watched the video, her eyes filled with hatred and malice.She didn't expect Royce to be so pro
Nancy fidgeted with her fingers uneasily, not because she was nervous about her wedding today, but because she had a constant feeling that something was about to happen.Susie seemed to give up her rights easily, even though she was not the type of person who easily gives up.Nancy raised her hand and placed it on her small abdomen. The baby was almost fourteen weeks old, having gone through a fire and being kidnapped, facing numerous hardships and challenges.She hoped to have a peaceful day today.Leanna, noticing Nancy's serious expression, walked over and leaned against the dressing table. "What's wrong, Nancy? Do you have something on your mind?"Nancy pursed her lips and raised her gaze, saying, "It was just an inexplicable feeling of unease."Leanna bent down and took her hand, "Don't be too nervous, Dalton has everything arranged. It's not a big deal if the flowers are a little wilted, Zoey is taking care of it."Just now, Zoe
After Nancy left, Leanna started urging Zoey to go to the hospital.Zoey said to modify Nancy's wedding dress before going, but Leanna couldn't wait and directly messaged Russell, saying that Zoey was feeling a bit unwell in the stomach and asked him to come pick her up.Leanna didn't joke about this kind of thing, Russell didn't even hold a meeting, he drove directly to come.Zoey was unaware of this, and was momentarily surprised when she saw Russell standing at the office door.However, she quickly realized that it must have been Leanna who sent him.Russell asked concernedly, "Why was your stomach feeling uncomfortable? Did you eat something cold or spicy? I was going to take you to the hospital, why were you still toughing it out? If Leanna hadn't messaged me, would you have kept enduring it?"Zoey had not answered the man's question yet, but Russell packed up her bag and was about to take her to the hospital.Zoey pursed her lip
The evidence of Susie's kidnapping and attempted murder is solid, so the Thatcher family came to demand justice, and the highest prosecutor's office in Lochcliff did not release the person.They resorted to threats and temptations, but it was in vain. Susie remained steadfast in her position.Susie's younger brother, Emmett Thatcher, went to see her. The man looked at her disheveled appearance and sneered, "Betrayed by your own people, how does it feel?"Susie looked at the madman in front of her and snorted, "If you came to see me as a joke, then get lost!""Tsk, you may look gentle, but your personality is really terrible. No wonder Randall didn't want you."Susie stared at him and suddenly got up to leave.Emmett laughed and said, "They were fighting for custody of Nacy, not to mention that the people from Lochcliff were quite powerful."Susie got excited and said, "That was my daughter, why did they take her away! Did Randall ask
Susie watched as Zoey and her group looked at her with indifference, and in an instant, she realized that they thought she was setting a trap for Nancy, when in fact, she was the one being lured into a trap.She boasted of her superior intelligence, but now she has fallen into someone else's trap, naturally feeling dissatisfied.She despised Randall, "I treated you well, and yet you sided with them! Why did you treat me like this?"Randall's eyes were cold and indifferent. "It was you who taught others how to treat you! Susie, you see me as a dog, but in my eyes, aren't you just a female dog?"Susie had never been subjected to verbal attacks, and she hated him so much that she suddenly pulled out a silver firearm from the waist of her bodyguard.Before she could pull the trigger, a syringe was shot into the back of her hand.In an instant, her entire arm became numb, and then half of her body followed suit. She couldn't hold herself up and k
Nancy was put on a black hood, and her heart was pounding.To be honest, she was very afraid of death now, because she still had a child in her womb.If she were alone, she would never become a burden or a weakness to anyone.As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would try to survive.The car drove for a long time before stopping. Nancy was taken out of the car and was unsteadily pushed towards the inside.Not knowing what she tripped over, she fell to her knees on the ground.She felt a sharp pain, as her arms were supported by two people and she continued to walk forward.It seemed like she had taken a few turns before she was finally put down by someone.Nancy's knee was hurting terribly, but she still stood up straight.Because the eyes couldn't see, the ears seemed to be particularly useful at this time.She heard a woman's voice, to be precise, Susie's voice.She had only met Susie twice, but th
Dalton's heart tightened suddenly as Russell fell silent.He subconsciously disagreed in his heart, after all, if Nancy were to encounter any problems, it would be a matter of life and death. He dared not take this risk.If not done so, Susie was like a time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.Susie relied on the Thatcher family. The Thatcher family had their hands in both legal and illegal activities, secretly training assassins and having people specifically assigned to clean up crime scenes for the assassins. Therefore, she felt invincible.Russell came up with this idea because if Susie were to attack again at Lochcliff, he would have a way to detain her.However, the Thatcher family needed someone, and Russell had a way to incriminate her.Dalton remained silent for a long time, "You made me think about it."Russell did not persuade him anymore, because he knew Dalton would consider what consequences would develop if things con
This was the first time the two of them had a peaceful conversation, and it was surprising to see how harmoniously the rivals could get along.Randall chuckled lightly and said, "No need, I couldn't trouble you and Nancy."Dalton didn't like to drink coffee, but today he ordered an iced Americano, which was rare for him. The bitterness made him frown."I don't know how you could drink it."Randall caressed the walls of the coffee cup, "I suppose it was because my heart was too bitter, but after drinking this, it didn't feel as bitter anymore."Dalton looked at the man, who had been disheveled for several days, and without the initial hostility, he unexpectedly felt some sympathy.Randall laughed and said, "Don't look at me like that, I didn't need sympathy.""Sorry," Dalton looked at him, "Nancy told me about your past. To be honest, if it weren't for those obstacles, you would have built a cozy little home together. I'm quite envious
After they received the certificate, Dalton moved Nancy's luggage from the apartment to his home.When she came back, Nancy had a feeling of things having changed.Although it was still in black and white, the cold tones didn't seem as cold anymore.Indeed, what affects one's emotions is not the environment but rather one's mood.Dalton saw her standing at the entrance and asked, "Why aren't you going in? Is it because you don't like this style of decoration? I was thinking that since you're pregnant, you shouldn't stay on the villa side anymore. Even if the newly renovated one is environmentally friendly, it may still have some odor. I'm worried that your morning sickness will be severe."Nancy couldn't smell pungent odors these past few days, such as garlic, chives, and onions.Dalton felt that this place was closer to his hospital, so if there was an emergency, it would be more convenient for him to rush back. Otherwise, staying at Nancy'
During Nancy's hospitalization, both Eugene and Chelsea came to visit.At that time, they still didn't know about her pregnancy.Chelsea cooked Manhattan clam chowder for her.She sat by the sickbed and fed Nancy.Nancy was very embarrassed, after all, her own mother had never treated her like this."I could do it myself."Chelsea shook her head and said with regret, "I have always hoped to have a daughter, but after giving birth to Dalton, my ovarian function deteriorated and I can no longer have children. When I first saw you, I liked you. You have a dignified and elegant appearance, although you can be a bit cold, but you don't give off an arrogant vibe. I was especially happy when you and Dalton got engaged. I know you both had reservations about the arranged marriage, but I believe you can make it work. Things were going as we expected, Dalton was in a good mood for a while, and he even called us without impatience. I knew your relation
