Love That Came Too Late 1
In the mirror, I saw a pale face.A week of fasting had made me thinner, much more haggard.I stared at my reflection, and with each passing moment, fear crept into my eyes.I never thought that my fasting would be revealed by one of the household servants.By the time I found out, it was too late.My half-sister, from my father's side, had already been sent abroad with the combined efforts of the Luther and the Lincoln.I could almost imagine how furious Henry would be when he found out about it.With a loud thud, I snapped back to reality.I left the bathroom, and Henry was standing at the bedroom door.He came in reeking of alcohol, took off his coat, and tossed it forcefully onto the floor.The coat landed on the carpet, sending a gust of wind, and I instinctively shrank back.Through gritted teeth, Henry spoke, "Yvonne, you're quite skilled at sowing discord, I underestimated you."I straightened my posture slowly and gathered the courage to look at him.Despite the myriad of conf

My pyjamas were torn to shreds and thrown into the air.The process, for me, was excruciating.Henry intentionally tormented me throughout the entire night.I opened my eyes once more, and the bedroom window was wide open, revealing a large rose garden bathed in the evening sun outside.I was a mess, but I managed to get out of bed and wrap myself in the tattered clothes before heading to the bathroom.I hadn't expected Henry to be home at this hour. So, when I went downstairs and saw Henry sitting on the living room sofa, I was genuinely surprised.Henry sat there flipping through a newspaper, not bothering to look at me. He asked knowingly, "Awake?"I had been feeling sore and unsteady on my feet, but seeing him, I mustered up some energy."Are you here to wait for me to sign the divorce agreement?"Hearing my words, Henry chuckled mockingly, his gaze contemptuous."Trying the same tactics again? First, you provoke me, and then you attempt to make me succumb to you? Tired of it. Find

Today, the weather in the capital is wonderful, with bright sunshine and a gentle breeze.I stand in the garden with my arms wide open, savoring the fresh air.An hour ago, I received the news that Cynthia's plane had landed.Afterward, I received a secretly taken photo.The picture shows Henry holding a crying, innocent girl.How heartwarming...The lovers are back together.Since Henry and I became husband and wife, we've rarely eaten together, except for family gatherings and business events.Even though we share the same house, we lead separate lives.Today is different.At this moment, Henry and I sit face to face at a three-meter-long dining table.The table is adorned with exquisite dishes, but I'm not interested.I sit quietly, patiently waiting for Henry to slam the divorce papers in front of me.Henry drinks more and more wine, paying little attention to me.His slightly tipsy eyes suddenly focus on my face, and he asks, "Are you satisfied just by staring at me?"My heart sin

For an entire week, Henry showed up at home after work promptly every day. If I didn't know him so well, I might have thought he had genuinely changed his heart, wanting to lead a normal married life with me. Our seemingly harmonious marriage was just a smokescreen. The Luther and Lincoln families needed this façade to feel at ease, and without their approval, Henry couldn't let Cynthia stay in the city.Another day arrived, and as a married couple, Henry and I attended the wedding of the mayor's daughter in the city's most luxurious hotel, held on the rooftop. As the evening approached, the city lights lit up the night sky, creating a dazzling display of romance reminiscent of the stars. I particularly enjoyed the starry view on the top floor.It was on this floor, in the restaurant, that Henry and I first met. The sky was just beginning to darken, and the stars hadn't appeared yet. The city's neon lights formed a mesmerizing mosaic. I halted at the observation deck in the cor

I glanced at Henry and Cynthia, then after a brief moment of thought, I said, "Come with me."Without waiting for a response, I took the lead to guide them. However, Henry didn't seem eager to follow my lead, while Cynthia, with an air of annoyance, held his hand firmly and said, "I must see what kind of trap my sister, who has lived a life of luxury since childhood, has prepared for me."I escorted them to a presidential suite on the starry level. I loved this place and had spared no expense to rent it for twenty years. However, I had never had the chance to enjoy the view myself. Now, they could have a private moment inside.Cynthia was convinced I had ill intentions and entered the suite, making a conspicuous effort to inspect every corner. Henry gently reassured her and held her close. After a while, Cynthia's cheerful laughter, reached my ears through the door.When Henry came out, I asked, "Do you believe now that I genuinely want to help you two?"He gazed at me deeply and

Henry's words were utterly baffling to me. I couldn't make any sense of them.He sneered, "You've started pretending to be innocent again!"Then, he suddenly slammed his fist down on the desk, which startled me. He approached me, holding up his phone, and demanded, "Do you dare to claim you didn't set up this trap deliberately?"I focused on the phone screen, revealing a video taken some time ago inside the presidential suite. The video showed Henry holding Cynthia possessively, while she appeared vulnerable and distressed in his arms, whimpering softly.I was shocked and vehemently denied, "It wasn't me! I absolutely had nothing to do with this!"However, Henry remained skeptical. He tossed the phone aside and forcefully pushed me, causing me to stumble and collide with the solid wooden desk, resulting in intense pain.Henry leaned over me, opened his belt with a snap, and said with a chilling tone, "Since you claim to love me so much, I'll satisfy you thoroughly once.""Yvonne, th

"I've known for a long time, my dearest Henry, that you would become the next head of the Luther family.""Oh, I don't want a dreamy wedding, all I want is you, Henry."Cynthia nestled in Henry's arms, playfully teasing and flirting with him. They were laughing and joking, completely absorbed in each other, when she unexpectedly noticed me.Cynthia visibly hesitated for a moment but quickly composed herself. She wrapped her arms around Henry's neck."By the way, my love, what do you plan to do with my sister after you take over? She loves you so much, don't push her into a corner."Henry responded, "I haven't thought about it.""Well, even though my sister has always been plotting against me and has never shown me any kindness, our love was so strong partly due to her constant meddling. Given that, please spare her a way out."Henry scoffed, "You're too kind. Can that evil bitch really be worthy of it?!"Cynthia coquettishly clung to Henry and said, "Henry, I'm Cynthia. Don't be so f

Henry stared at me with the eyes of an arch-enemy. I wanted to retrieve my hand from his grasp, but he refused to let go."Let go..." I struggled.Suddenly, he released his grip, and I staggered backward.Cynthia rushed over anxiously, trying to support me. I pushed her away. I was weak, and my strength was fading, but even with what little strength I had left, I managed to make Cynthia stumble and fall.She cried out in pain and tears welled up in her eyes. She whimpered and called out to Henry, "It hurts, Henry, it hurts.""Yvonne!" Henry roared, his anger threatening to consume him.He shoved me forcefully, and I was sent flying. In the chaos, he anxiously picked up Cynthia, trying to soothe her. She seemed utterly terrified, trembling in his arms."Henry, I'll give you two choices," I said as I struggled to sit up, bracing myself with a hand against the wall. "Option one, sign the divorce papers with me immediately. Option two, I'll contact the Luther family to completely seve
