Julian bit her neck, a sharp pain.

The lights flickered twice and went out. The door seemed to be opened, and footsteps approached.

Vanessa was held underwater, drowning, struggling and flailing her limbs for help. Jerry froze in his tracks the moment he entered, about to turn and leave when he realized something was wrong.

"Miss Brooks... is that you?"

The hand waved a couple of times. Sensing something was amiss, he rushed over and pulled Vanessa out.

She was drenched, her clothes and hair dr

    The car door slammed shut.Julian finished his cigarette, turned the steering wheel, and drove back. He even bought some medicine for swelling and pain relief, which was probably the first time he'd taken the initiative to treat a woman like this, especially one who didn't appreciate it.The stairs were narrow and steep, the light was broken, and there were no windows, making it necessary to be careful even during the day.Julian's footsteps were light, but before he reached the top, a voice drifted down from above.It was Vanessa."I've been held up with some things these past few days, but I'll wire you the money in a few days," she said, her voice careful and almost pleading.Julian clenched the medicine in his hand, watching the figure on the stairs. Vanessa stood there, looking like she was about to cry. "I know I owe you, and I'll give you the money. I won't cheat you."He didn't go up.Julian went back downstairs and threw all the medicine into the trash can.His face was terri

    Rose averted her gaze, startled, and suddenly saw Julian, who had arrived unnoticed. He was expressionless, his eyes fixed on Vanessa's back.Julian's presence exuded a chilling pressure.As he approached, Rose involuntarily lowered her hand and weakly said, "Julian..."Julian didn't even glance at her.His gaze remained fixed on Vanessa as he addressed Rose, "Who told you to come here?""I couldn't find you, so wasn't my only option to come find her?""Ridiculous." Julian scoffed. "If you can't find me, what good is finding her? What relationship do I have with her?"These were words spoken in anger.Rose went over and affectionately took Julian's arm, shooting a resentful glare at Vanessa. "But I heard that on Aunt Evelyn's birthday, she seduced you and slept with you. Is that true?"Bringing up such things here was disrespectful to Vanessa.Rose didn't care about any of that. She wanted to humiliate Vanessa."Just tell me it was her, and I won't blame you. Our engagement will conti

    These were all the words from the heart.So sincere that they hurt.Vanessa's lips were also stained with Julian's blood, just a little red, yet it made her look even more vibrant and her attack even stronger. "To put it bluntly, I truly regret why I was so devoted to you back then."She wiped the blood from her lips, scoffed, and turned to leave.Julian didn't chase after her.He touched the wound on his lips, finding a kind of pleasure in the pain. Even being hated was better than nothing at all.Having shaken off Julian's entanglement, Perry was waiting for her again.Not wanting to be seen in such a disheveled state, Vanessa hid to the side, waiting for who knew how long before Perry took a phone call and left.She rushed to the Voss residence.The first person she saw was Adrian, sitting downstairs.He glanced at Perry, as if watching a joke.Perry walked past him straight to Cameron's study upstairs. His face was ashen, and his mood heavy. Standing before Cameron, he was about t

    Julian was born arrogant, with high expectations for the women by his side – family background, personality, looks, all had to be satisfactory. These women were clearly not, but Vanessa…She was, after all, somewhat different.But she was no longer the Voss family's eldest daughter. Although his feelings for her had changed, all he could offer her was the position of a mistress.He had always been domineering.Whatever he wanted, no matter the person or the thing, he had to obtain it by any means necessary.Released from house arrest, Julian drove alone, waiting on Vanessa's usual route. She hadn't completed the marriage certificate with Perry. Her head was lowered as she walked ahead, her figure cast on the ground, fallen leaves as accompaniment. From afar, she looked very lonely.Julian stood in the wind, dignified and precious from head to toe, in stark contrast to Vanessa's appearance.They were no longer people of the same class.But that was precisely what made it more interesti

    Walking towards the elevators, Jerry's call came. A layer of frost reappeared on Julian's face. "What is it?""Mr. Frost… Miss Vanessa seems to have gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Perry," Jerry said, anxious yet hesitant to express himself. "Should we stop them?"This trip felt like a gamble.On the way, Vanessa's guilt outweighed her unease. Perry was driving fast, but his phone kept ringing.It was Cameron.He glanced at it and hung up."Why aren't you answering Uncle Voss' call?""It's not too late to answer after we've taken care of things."Though that's what he said, they both knew that he wasn't answering the phone because he was afraid someone would interfere.When Perry's phone couldn't get through, Cameron called Vanessa's cell. She glanced at it, wanting to answer, but Perry interrupted, "Don't answer. We'll be at the Civil Affairs Bureau after this intersection. Whatever it is, wait until we've

    “You know, this isn’t what I wanted.”“But it’s already happened.”“Then what do you want?” Vanessa went all in. She could have devoured Adrian whole, but couldn’t blame Julian. He was a victim in this too. All she wanted was a solution, but she wasn’t getting a satisfactory one.Julian forgot to speak for a moment. In his eyes, love and sentimentality were far less important than power and future prospects. What was one Vanessa? Yet, he had come here without hesitation.“After something like this, do you really think your marriage with Perry can still go on?”Vanessa couldn't help but laugh. "So, this is your and Adrian's goal. You don't want me to get married, you want me to atone for Ivy's death for the rest of my life.""That's him.""And what good are you?"Truly cruel.So, was this the pain Vanessa had experienced back then?Julian fell
