"I want Emlyn Young dead!" The plausibility that Emlyn was still alive had never crossed Eve Young's mind and she had only grudgingly consented to be Emlyn's replacement with the presumption that Emlyn was dead. However, to her horror, Emlyn was still alive and her world had come crashing down as if she had failed her life mission.Jenna fixated her eyes on Hunter Shield and extended her arms as she pouted dismally, too frightened to raise her voice. "Daddy, hug me. Everywhere hurts and I'm hungry..."Hunter's suppressed emotions were on the verge of spilling over and his eyes reddened. Jenna obviously regarded him as a pillar of support, endearingly calling him 'Daddy', but he had failed her in her most urgent moment of need."Jenna, be a good girl and stay put. I'll take you to grab a bite to eat soon."Jenna reluctantly dropped her hands to hug herself as she sulked and sullenly agreed, "I won't move, I'll wait here for Daddy."Eve was blinded by hatred at the intimacy between
"Jenna, finish your milk and I'll take you to eat some tasty food, alright?"Jenna was still sniveling as she sucked on the nipple of the bottle. After taking two sips, she pulled the bottle out and gazed at Hunter Shield with residual milk at the corners of her mouth as she whimpered, "Dad, Daddy, when, when the monster caught, caught me, I hoped for Daddy, Daddy to turn... into Superman and come save me..."His eyes were swollen from constantly holding back his tears. "Jenna, I'll take good care of you from now on and nobody will dare to harm you. I'll destroy any monster who attempts to hurt you again."The doctor was appalled and tears welled up in his eyes as he examined Jenna. "This atrocious criminal! How could one bear to hurt a child to such an extent!"Hunter gritted his teeth as droplets of grief threatened to surge from his eyes. Revulsion and loathing sat in his heart as he kept silent, unwilling to let his shaky voice betray his emotions.Jenna lifted her uninjured h
After wrapping Jenna in a towel and carrying her out of the bathroom, Hunter Shield browsed for clothes with which to dress Jenna. He had instructed the doctors to maintain Emlyn Young's dosage of sedatives because the situation would be dire if Emlyn were to awaken now.The doctor exited Emlyn's room and headed for Jenna's room to apply medicine on her wounds. In order to distract herself, Jenna buried her head in Hunter's embrace and asked, "Daddy, I miss Mommy, when will Mommy recover?""Mommy is going to be alright soon. Once Jenna's bruises clear up, Mommy's illness will be gone too.""Then I can just spread some flour on myself and my skin will be white again..."The doctor pitied the child and rebuked, "Mr. Shield, the lacerations and contusions on Young Miss will probably not heal for another week because the area of damage is sizeable. The culprit should be punished accordingly! This is barbaric!"Hunter simply remarked, "How's Emlyn's condition? Can she wait till Jenna i
Hunter Shield ground the cigarette butt he had thrown to the floor with his foot. "Ha, you must have presumed a dumb and illiterate person would not endanger you? The servant who lost her ability to speak due to your mother, Ruby Worth's, poisoning, learned how to read and write, spilling all the details of you and your mother's outrageous actions..."Eve Young pleaded despairingly, "Hunter! Let bygones be bygones! I seek your forgiveness! Considering I've loved you for so many years!"Eve registered that her crime had been exposed and she lost her bearings. There was no way to rectify the situation other than begging for forgiveness.Hunter ordered his men to haul back Eve up onto the yacht. Eve assumed he was going to release her but he glanced at her and stated, "Jenna's young, barely older than two years old, but you cut her. Since you're about twenty times as old as her, I'll cut you twenty times. That's not too bad a deal."He inclined his head while speaking and his bodyguar
Witnessing the flies crowding around Eve's body, Hunter indifferently commanded his men to scrub off the blood stains before heading back towards An City.Upon reaching home, Hunter took a shower before going to bed with Jenna, who had been refusing to fall asleep under the helpers' care. Apprehension had previously stopped Jenna from sleeping, but Hunter's presence finally allowed weariness to lull her to sleep and her breathing evened out.At dawn:Hunter was not awakened by Jenna stirring and he opened his eyes while patting the space beside him. It was empty. He jumped up as uneasiness overwhelmed him.Jenna was not in the room and after the recent traumatic troubles with Eve, while the chances of it happening again were negligible, his hair was standing on end. "Jenna?"It was possible that Jenna was simply playing hide and seek with him because it was common for children to indulge in childish games they believed to be mature.In that instant, Hunter heard the sounds of a c
It was night.The woman was flipped over, lying on her stomach. The young, muscular man pressed against her back as usual. His large bony hands trailed down her back heatedly and reached into her silk underwear. He hooked the sides of her panties with his fingers and pulled them down.Emlyn Young woke up in shock and grabbed the man's hand subconsciously. The familiar weight and warmth caused her whole body to tense up.She could smell the alcohol on him again!She recalled what Eve Young had said today and twisted her body, resisting agitatedly. She was determined not to let him take her from behind ever again."Hunter Shield!" She twisted her body and looked at him angrily. "You always press my head into the pillow. Is it because you are afraid to see that you're sleeping with me and not my sister!?"Emlyn's chest heaved. She thought that she had already become strong, but Eve's words today had still broken through her armor, melting it and turning it into liquid metal that bur
At ten the next morning:Hunter had just ended his morning meeting and returned to the director's office. His secretary handed him a brown envelope and said, "Boss, Madam sent this over."Hunter opened the brown envelope and was shocked to see the words 'Divorce Agreement' inside.He threw the envelope down on the table angrily.There was a fire in his lungs which he wanted to expel. He undid a button on his shirt. Emlyn had already angered him several times since last night.A divorce? Why should she be the one to initiate a divorce?!Emlyn wanted to go home and tell her father that she had already initiated a divorce with Hunter.The servants of the Young family were nowhere to be seen downstairs. She went upstairs to the study to look for Boris Young.However, she heard a conversation she should have never heard outside the study."Dad, will everything in the Young family go to me?" It was the voice of her younger sister, Eve."Of course, Emlyn and Hunter have been married
The W Restaurant's signboard flashed with neon lights in the night.Emlyn strode on her high heels towards where Hunter and Eve were eating inside the restaurant.Hunter looked very at ease and did not feel discomfited by Emlyn's arrival. The coldness and distance in his eyes were meant for Emlyn.Emlyn looked at the provocative smile on Eve's face. It had been two years, but Hunter had never treated her to a meal.She would have had just tolerated it in the past but she wouldn't do that now!Emlyn picked up Hunter's wine glass and clinked it against Eve's. Then, she took a sip from it and said, "Happy Birthday!"Eve raised her glass gently and beautifully, saying, "Thank you, Emlyn."Emlyn quirked her brows and said, "My husband used our common funds to treat you to a meal, so I do have a share in this. You are right to thank me."Eve paled and looked at Hunter pleadingly. However, the man looked as if he did not see her and continued cutting up his steak elegantly."Emlyn, y
