“Ahhh… Nghhh… Ahh… Faster…!”
The sexy moaning sound of a woman who is having intimate relations with a man in his 50s is accompanied by the sound of a cell phone that keeps ringing.
The man’s hip movements did not stop, continuing to seek worldly pleasure from the sex he was having. At first, he wasn’t bothered at all, but in the end, he felt annoyed and took his cell phone off the nightstand in annoyance.
“Tsk! Damn! This woman is so annoying!” He then blocked the number because he didn’t want to continue being disturbed.
“Who is that, babe?” asked his lover.
“My wife,” he answered in an annoyed tone.
“Ah, your wife? It’s annoying!” said the woman, no less annoyed.
“Hm.”
“Okay, rather than being so annoyed. You’d better enjoy my service,” she said in a teasing tone. The man raised an eyebrow, then grinned. He always liked the service given by this woman. His lover moved. Her face turned towards his cock and began to tease him. Moan after moan of pleasure began to be heard. The man almost had his climax if his cell phone didn’t ring again. This time, it sounded more annoying to his ears. Is that his wife again?
‘Damn it! She must be using a new number!’ The irritation was building up. Unable to stand the deafening ringing of his cell phone, he finally grabbed the cell phone roughly and immediately accepted the call without looking at who was calling.
“WHAT?! DON’T YOU KEEP BOTHER ME. YOU FOOL!” he shouted out of suppressed anger.
“I’M WITH MY LOVER! DON’T DISTURB ME!” he shouted again.
“Ohh... How dare you hire a prostitute while you keep ignoring my calls.”
THUMP!
The man immediately pushed his lover quickly until her body fell back side. His lover screamed in surprise because her activities suddenly stopped. The look on her face seemed to ask what happened. But the man couldn’t explain. The man’s face looked very tense after getting this call.
“M-Master… s-sorry. I thought it wasn’t you who called me,” answered the man in a halting voice. The man he called the master snorted.
“I’ve lost my patience. Hurry and pay all your debts, you idiot! You keep arguing that you don’t have money, but you keep gambling and hiring prostitutes! Do you think I’m stupid?!” cursed the caller.
“I-It’s not like that,” answered the man in an increasingly shaky voice.
“I-I still don’t have the money to pay off my debt. I-“
“You keep making the same excuse!” the caller did not let himself finish his sentence.
“I only give you one week! If you still can’t pay off all your debts, then you will know what the consequences will be! Don’t mess with me!” he threatened. He had run out of patience.
Beep.
The call got disconnected immediately. The man squeezed his cell phone tightly. His forehead looked sweaty, his heartbeat was beating very fast.
“Damn it!”
He immediately got out of bed and picked up his clothes, which were scattered carelessly on the floor, and then put them on in a hurry.
“Where are you going?” asked his lover. She doesn’t seem to like what the man is doing.
“I have to go home immediately. There are important matters that must be done,” replied the man. He immediately rushed away. Leaving his girlfriend still looking at him with a sullen face.
Now he is home and goes straight to his room with his wife.
Creak.
He entered without closing the door. His wife turned her head. She had been trying to find her husband’s whereabouts. The debt collector kept calling her, asking where her husband was. However, the man could not be contacted at all and instead blocked the number.
“Where have you been?!” His wife immediately stood up while pointing at her husband. She could smell another woman’s perfume on her husband’s body, and she could even see the kiss marks on his neck. But she didn’t care at all. Her husband is indeed fond of cheating. Her love for this man has disappeared. She maintained their marriage only for the sake of their children. The rest is completely hopeless.
“The debt collector keeps calling me and asking where you are! You even blocked my number! He said if you can’t pay off your debt, then this house will be confiscated!” she pointed at her husband with an angry face.
Her husband owes a fantastic amount to the debt collector. All of this could happen because her husband had a gambling habit and hired prostitutes. He kept borrowing and borrowing for the past two years until his debts piled up and her husband could no longer pay, especially with the condition of the company, which was also on the verge of bankruptcy. They don’t have a money supply.
She could see her husband clench his fists, then
SLAP!
A very hard slap was given. It’s late, so the kids must be asleep. They were very good at hiding these household problems from their daughters. So, their daughters didn’t know anything about whatever problems they were experiencing.
“Watch your tone!” he said. The veins on his forehead were visible, indicating how angry this man was. But his wife was not afraid at all.
“What?! I’m telling the truth! Pay off your debt! You are such a coward! Useless husband!” the wife replied.
“Gambling! Cheating! Because of you, we will all suffer! What about the kids if this house gets confiscated, huh?!” she replied again with passionate emotion.
“USELESS HUSBAND!”
SLAP!!!
The slap was given again.
“I told you to watch your tone!”
His wife’s mouth was finally silenced.
“I will take care of everything. So shut your mouth!” he said as he grabbed his wife’s mouth and then left the room.
The wife clenched her fists. Curious about what her husband would do, she followed him as he walked to the balcony. She could see her husband contacting someone.
“I have a daughter. She is very beautiful, smart, obedient, and a virgin. I’ll sell her to you. You can sell her at a very high price, master. Even—”
The wife covered her mouth when she heard what her husband said. Selling her daughter? Is her husband crazy?
“Arabella. You’ve seen her. You even told me you were very interested in her. Now I leave her to you,” he continued.
Unable to bear hearing the conversation, finally the wife stepped quickly and hit her husband’s hand, which was holding the cell phone until it fell and the screen broke.
“Damn it! What are you doing?!”
“Don’t bring my daughter into the trouble you caused!” replied the wife.
“What do you mean by saying that you will hand Arabella over to that man?! ARE YOU CRAZY?! SHE IS MY DAUGHTER!” she shouted in complete disapproval.
Her husband chuckled terrifyingly. This woman was eavesdropping. He looked at his wife with a flat gaze. What his wife had said did not affect him. He will still do what he said earlier. Selling Arabella to the debt collector. He knew very well that the debt collector was very interested in Arabella, and even really wanted his stepdaughter. And this is a golden opportunity for him to get out of this problem.
Moreover, even though he was Bella’s stepfather, he had never loved her. Even tend to dislike her. He only loves the daughter of his deceased first wife. Irish. He was forced to accept the presence of Bella, who was none other than the daughter of the woman he wanted to marry at that time.
“Shut up. We have no other choice,” replied the husband with a calm face.
“NO! I TOLD YOU NOT TO INVOLVE MY DAUGHTER!” his wife replied.
Elsewhere, there was Arabella, who was going to her mother’s room to hand over something. But instead, she saw her mother jogging with a wary face. She was curious. What made her mother act like that?
She then decided to follow her mother secretly.
Arabella stopped in her tracks when she heard her mother’s voice. She could see her mother pointing at her stepfather with her index finger. Both of them were equally angry. You could see their red face.
“There’s no need for you to interfere! My decision is final,” replied her stepfather.
Bella frowned, hearing the dispute that she didn’t know what the problem was.
She saw their quarrel. Bella had never seen her stepfather so angry. What actually happened?
“I TOLD YOU NO! YOU CAUSED ALL OF THIS, THEN YOU ARE THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE!”
Her mother’s response very surprised Bella. At first, Bella wasn’t going to intervene, but seeing her stepfather’s hand was about to slap her mother, Bella immediately ran and intervened.
“Father!” she intervened. Bella pulled her mother’s arm away and then stood in front of her mother. Bella looked at her father with a disappointed look.
Her stepfather was surprised to see Bella suddenly appear in front of him. The look on his face looked quite panicked before finally returning to normal.
“What are you doing?” Bella asked.
“You’re going to slap mom? She is your wife,” said Bella again, defending her mother.
“Besides, what’s the problem that makes you fight?” Bella asked again.
Her mother wanted to answer Bella’s question, but her husband looked at her with a sharp gaze, as if threatening. Finally, the words that were about to come out stuck in her throat again.
“This is our business. Now, get out!” said his stepfather very firmly. His finger pointed at the door, indicating for Bella to leave immediately.
Bella refuses. She shook her head. She was worried that her mother would be slapped. Bella knew her father was quite temperamental. She didn’t want her mother to get hurt.
“No.”
“Get out,” said the father again.
“Bella, come out.” Not wanting Bella to be affected by her husband’s anger, she finally asked her daughter to come out.
“But, mom—”
“It’s okay. This is just a small problem. We will solve it,” said her mother calmly. Bella wanted to say no again, but seeing her mother’s gaze that didn’t want to be denied, Bella finally decided to leave them.
Her stepfather closed the door, and then he locked the door. And now Bella couldn’t hear any of their conversation in there. Bella took a deep breath. She went straight to her room.

Jullius was in his private office at the mansion when his cell phone rang. The man took off his reading glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose before taking out his cell phone to see who was calling him in the middle of the night.
Unknown number. Jullius decided to answer the call.
“Who’s this?” asked Jullius straight to the point.
“Jullius. I need your help. Please. You are the only one who can help me.”
His brow furrowed at this sound. He knew whose voice this was. His eyes were cold.
“Talk,” he said. And the caller immediately explained what he wanted.
To be continued…
Ivan’s hands cupped mine, his eyes glistening.“Emily,” he said, his voice thick. “You changed everything. I didn’t know what it meant to live fully until I saw you laugh. I didn’t know what it meant to love until I watched you hold Mila when she was scared, when she was sick, when she just needed s

I opened the box.“Will you marry me?”The room was silent for a heartbeat.Then Emily dropped to her knees and flung her arms around my neck.“Yes,” she whispered. “Yes. A million times, yes.”The room erupted.Mila squealed and clapped. Laura cried openly. Mikhail whooped. Elle burst into full sob

I walked to the kitchen, my mind racing, my pulse pounding behind my eyes. I took a picture of the letter and immediately sent it to Ivan. My fingers hesitated only for a second before I typed:'He found our address. Left this on the porch. We need to talk.'Then I stared at the phone, waiting—count

E M I L YI turned without waiting for his response, motioning sharply at the security guards to let him go. They hesitated, muscles tense, eyes darting between each other and me, unsure if releasing him was the right move. I couldn’t blame them. Tristan still looked half crazed and entirely unstabl
I walked toward her room, watching her as she gently poured invisible tea into tiny plastic cups, giggling as her stuffed animals “talked back.” I crouched beside her, brushing a curl from her forehead. “Having fun, baby?” I asked, my voice steadier than I felt. She nodded eagerly. “Mr. Bear said
