The morning sunlight infiltrated through the gap in the curtains of the luxurious room. On the bed, Rebecca was still fast asleep, her body only covered by a thin cloth. The traces of last night's tears were still faintly visible on the beautiful woman's cheeks. On the side of the bed, Samuel sat looking at her face.
Samuel could not sleep at all.His eyes were fixed on every inch of Rebecca's face. Silently, his mind was in turmoil. His heart cried out, but his lips were paralyzed."Rebecca... I don't really believe you kidnapped Nora. But I'm also too cowardly to tell the truth." Samuel said silently."I... love you. But why does this love come with hurt and anger? Why, Rebecca? Why?"Rebecca squirmed a little, then opened her eyes slowly. As soon as she saw that Samuel was still there, she hurriedly pulled up the blanket and got out of bed."I have to go home," Rebecca said quickly while rummaging through the floor for her cloA black sedan car drove slowly. Inside the car, it was quiet for a long time. Rebecca sat in the passenger seat with a tired face, her hair tied up in a messy bun, and light make-up covering the eye circles that had been swollen overnight.Liam, who sat in the front, occasionally glanced at Rebecca. He had been wanting to talk, but didn't know where to start."So... right? You're Samuel Wilson's wife?" asked Liam, still incredulous.Rebecca turned her head, nodding slowly. "Yes, Liam. I'm his wife by law.""And Nora? Isn't she Mrs. Wilson in the public eye?"Rebecca sighed, then looked out the window. "Actually, it was Nora who was supposed to marry Samuel. But on the wedding day, she ran away. Samuel still had the wedding with me. Because everything was prepared, and Samuel didn't want to embarrass the family."Liam widened his eyes. "So you were just a replacement woman?"Rebecca laughed blandly. "You could s
Nora sat on the edge of the bed, her body was very limp, her hair was tangled, and her eyes were dull. Her body still felt hot, but not because of love but because of hate.Slowly, Nora put her clothes back on one by one.Anthony lay down casually behind Nora. The man was still topless, looking at Nora's back with a satisfied smile."You're still the same, darling," Anthony murmured. "Wild and always seductive. You are mine forever."Nora didn't turn around, just took a deep breath."I have to go," Nora said briefly.Anthony got up, sat on the edge of the bed, and pulled Nora's hand. "No, you don't. You stay here. I still miss you. I still want to have sex with you, Nora."Nora brushed off the man's hand roughly. "I told you, this is the last time. We're getting a divorce, Anthony. You have to sign the divorce papers."Anthony laughed softly and stood up. "Divorce? You're kidding, sweetheart. Do you th

Samuel's car sped off into the twilight. Rebecca was silent, staring at the road with puffy eyes. Silence filled the space between them, until Samuel's voice broke the silence."Yes, Rebecca..." Samuel said softly, but clearly. "I believe it was you who held Nora six years ago."Rebecca turned her head quickly, the woman's face as if she couldn't believe that Samuel had actually said that. Then Rebecca laughed bitterly."Huh... I knew it! You actually believe that I did it without you finding out the truth," Rebecca's lips trembled. "That's funny. I've been silent not because I confessed, but because I'm tired of always being used as a scapegoat."Samuel sighed heavily. "Rebecca, I'm sorry. But I'm really confused. Then I had no choice but to believe what Nora said.""No choice?" Rebecca gave him a sharp look. "What do you mean?""Rebecca, I feel like I owe Nora my life," Samuel said, his voice sounding like he was swal
The atmosphere of dusk still covered the apartment courtyard when Rebecca blinked her eyes that were sore from the dust. Liam hurriedly approached, blowing gently on the woman's eyes, Liam was just trying to help. Their faces were so close that from a distance it looked like they were kissing.Samuel, who had just gotten out of his car, was stunned by the sight. His face immediately turned dark. His eyes sharpened, and his jaw began to harden."Rebecca... you're such a bitch!" he muttered quietly but with emotion.With quick and furious steps, Samuel approached them. Rebecca was just about to move away from Liam, but before she could move further, Samuel's hand had already pulled Rebecca roughly."Samuel! What are you doing?!" Rebecca screamed.Without answering, Samuel pulled Rebecca closer, and in an instant, the man's lips had landed on Rebecca's lips."Samuel!" Rebecca rebelled, pushing the man's chest with all her
That afternoon, the sun had begun its slow descent. The employees began to rush out of the Wilson Corp building. Rebecca was just tidying up the last document on her desk when her cell phone rang. There was an incoming call from Liam Zayden.She picked it up softly. "Hello?""Are you done with your work, Becca?" asked the warm voice on the other end."Just about done. Why?""I'm already downstairs. I picked you up on purpose."Rebecca frowned. "Pick me up? How did you know I worked here?""Reno told me," Liam replied casually. "Reno said you work at Wilson's company."Rebecca sighed softly. "Liam, you don't have to bother. I can take a taxi home.""Come on, just taking you home. I didn't want to kidnap you."Rebecca nodded slowly, though she did not answer. She then picked up her bag and walked towards the lobby.Once out the front door, she saw Liam standing by his car. The man was wearin
