"Someone who your husband loves is me," Patricia said with a wicked smile, looking so satisfied.
Audrey jerked awake, her breath catching with a racing heart. The words were so real to her ears. She remembered how Patricia, her sister, had met her earlier in the day and said that. Audrey's chest felt tight hearing it. She refused to believe what Patricia said, even though Audrey could see how her husband had treated her. It was so painful. Considering she had loved Daniel since childhood. Eleven years have passed and the feeling is still there for Daniel, but that man... Audrey held back tears every time she remembered Daniel's treatment of her. Generally, married couples will love each other and share their attention, especially when they are newly married, but that is not the case in Daniel and Audrey's marriage. It was as if she was a pest and Daniel was always trying to get away from her. They were like water and oil that couldn't mix. Daniel was always cold and rude to Audrey. He did not hesitate to show his dislike for Audrey and it made Audrey's chest feel like it was being slashed. Audrey turned her head as the door to her room opened from outside. Daniel had returned with reddened eyes. Walking in with an unbalanced body. "Daniel, you…" Seeing Audrey sitting on the bed in a seductive nightgown made Daniel's desire rise. He finally pushed Audrey onto the bed so that Audrey's body was underneath him. Quickly, Daniel tried to tear Audrey's nightgown by force, making a loud ripping sound very loud. His eyes looked savage staring at Audrey's innocent body. Audrey gasped and immediately struggled to resist. Her husband was drunk, as evidenced by the smell of liquor that pierced Audrey's nose. "Daniel! Let me go!" Audrey struggled again, not wanting to be treated like a slut who was fucked only when the man was drunk. Suddenly Daniel pressed a pillow against Audrey's face, covering her face, then explored all parts of Audrey's body. With all her might, Audrey pushed Daniel's body hard until the man moved away from on top of her. Audrey quickly got up and backed away. Audrey's breath caught in her throat as she looked at Daniel with pain.In that terrible state, she remembered Patricia's words that Daniel liked Patricia. Audrey was jolted by reality, looked at the pillow Daniel had used to press her face, and finally concluded something. "You purposely covered my face so you could imagine making love to Patricia?" Audrey's voice trembled as she asked. Don't ask her heart which was already shapeless at the moment. Enduring the pain of her fallen pride. Daniel was silent. Instead of answering Audrey's question, Daniel just waltzed away from there. Ignoring the woman who had been holding back the tears from behind her corneas. Not accepting Daniel just leaving, Audrey quickly caught up and pulled Daniel's hand back until the man turned to her. "Your legal wife is me! Only me, Audrey Larson! Not Patricia!" Audrey screamed with emotion mixed with frustration. She had loved Daniel all this time, but Daniel had never considered her love at all. His eyes were only filled with hatred. Staring at Audrey with a look of disgust. Hearing that, Daniel laughed coldly. "Legitimate wife you say?" Daniel laughed lightly again. "You just want the position as Mrs. Anderson, right? Making plans to trap me into marrying you. Wow, sneaky!" Daniel remembered very well how Audrey with her cunning plan set a trap for him. Two years ago, Audrey must have had someone else put stimulants in Daniel's drink and made him hook up with Audrey at the hotel. Not only that, Audrey also cleverly called the reporters to confront them the next day. It became busy in the news. On online media and television broadcasts. With the headline 'A successful CEO named Daniel Anderson was caught leaving a hotel with Audrey Larson, the daughter of a successful businessman named Bryan Larson'. To clear his name, Daniel was demanded by the Larson family to marry Audrey immediately. It was a well-thought-out plan, so Daniel could not move. It was clear that the brain behind all these events was Audrey Larson. Daniel believes that. Since then, Daniel hated Audrey to the bones. He did not hesitate to show his hatred. Daniel never treated Audrey like a wife. Not once in a sober state did Daniel want to touch the woman. Only when he was drunk would he have anything to do with Audrey, and even then he never saw her face. "Yes, you're right. I do love Patricia. Not a cheap woman like you!" Daniel said later. Like getting hit by a big rock, Daniel's sentence broke Audrey's heart to pieces. All this time Audrey rejected any thoughts that Daniel saw Patricia as more than a sister-in-law, but now the man's mouth said it directly. The tears she had been trying to hold back were now unstoppable. His defenses collapsed instantly. Audrey was destroyed and she had lost the fight for her household. Even before she went to war, Audrey had already lost. Audrey stared wide-eyed at Daniel who was still standing in front of her. It felt like her defense had been in vain. The love she always gave to Daniel was never reciprocated. Audrey was tired of always being blamed and underestimated by her husband. With a deep heartache, Audrey decided to leave there. She walked out of the room to leave Daniel, but before she could reach the doorknob, Daniel's hand pulled her away. Audrey gasped. Her body was lifted up and without a signal, she was thrown back onto the bed. Audrey winced as she felt the impact on her head. "We're not done yet, I won't let you go just like that!" Daniel pulled out the remaining clothes that were still attached to Audrey's body. Removing them one by one until Audrey's body was bare without a single thread. With the last of her strength, Audrey continued to rebel against Daniel's body. She punched, kicked, and even swore at him to get him to stop. However, Audrey's strength was still inferior to the man with muscles. Audrey limped until finally, she could not move anymore. Daniel controlled her hard without feeling. There was no seduction or even tenderness there. Audrey suppressed her aching heart. The man just channeled his lecherous lust without caring about Audrey's feelings at all. Daniel ended the action after he managed to get a release. Picked up his clothes again and started to put them on. While Audrey sat down while tightening the blanket on her body, tears falling down her cheeks while looking at the heartless man in frustration. "I want a divorce." The words finally escaped Audrey's mouth.Daniel didn't care about Audrey's words. He chose to waltz out of the room, leaving Audrey with tears in her eyes.The next day."The results of the meeting, immediately send it to my email."Daniel walked in accompanied by his secretary. They had just finished a meeting with the Anderson Group's board of directors, discussing the development and opening of other branches in several major cities."Yes, sir.""One more thing. Last month's financial report, I want to check it.""I will prepare it, sir."Daniel nodded and entered his office on the 20th floor of the Anderson Group building.He took off his coat and draped it over the back of his chair.Daniel sat down, ready to get back to his daily work routine. Moments later, there was a knock on the door from outside and the secretary reappeared."Here, sir. There are some letters for you."Daniel nodded and let the secretary go after putting the stack of letters she was carrying onto the table.He took the letters and examined them on
Audrey sat in front of the makeup mirror in her room. A make-up artist was arranging her hair in such a way, while another was applying bold glamorous make-up to her face.Her face is full of smiles as she wears a red evening gown with open shoulders."Wow, you are very beautiful, ma'am." So praised one of the maids helping her.Audrey blushed and smiled meaningfully. "Thank you," she said.She looked back at the mirror, then turned her body gracefully. A pair of stilettos were placed on her feet."Perfect!" said one of the maids who helped her with the stilettos."Mr. Daniel will surely be surprised by your beauty tonight."Audrey smiled. In her mind, she thought, of course! Not only would Daniel be surprised by her arrival tonight, but Patricia would also definitely widen her eyes.Audrey felt confident.Tonight, Audrey knew that Daniel was taking Patricia to dinner at a famous restaurant, to celebrate Patricia's birthday. Therefore, she would give a birthday surprise to the two peo
“Daniel!"Audrey squealed in annoyance as Daniel continued to squeeze her body. The grip on Audrey's wrists tightened, and Daniel's eyes flashed with desire.He didn't care how much Audrey struggled.Every body movement created by Audrey made Daniel's libido increase. Even the sighs heard from the woman alone made Daniel's body hot.Now Daniel's hands roamed all over Audrey's upper body until the woman cringed and felt pain. Pressing her hard, channeling the desire that was always held back when he was only able to stare at Audrey's beautiful body from the outside.Audrey's eyes narrowed with a grimace. Daniel did not have a heart for her. He only used her as a tool to satisfy his lust. The man's tough demeanor did not once soften for Audrey. While in front of Patricia, Daniel's face instantly turned into an angel with all tenderness.Audrey cursed inwardly. Regretting the love she had given to a heartless man like Daniel. Even though he had done everything he could to show his love,
Waiting for Daniel's answer made Audrey bite her lip. Fortunately, the man's heavy voice was heard shortly."All right, I'm going home," he replied.Although his tone sounded forced, Audrey didn't care and developed a smile. Then she disconnected the phone and prepared to cook a special dinner.At exactly seven in the evening, Daniel came home. He appeared with a tired-looking face.Suddenly, Audrey's heart was tight. She just looked at her husband sadly.For the sake of Patricia, Daniel was willing to reduce his sleep hours just to look after the evil woman.While Daniel himself was surprised by his wife's current treatment.His wife had dressed up and served his favorite food, but Daniel decided not to care.No matter what the woman did, she would not be able to repay Daniel's disappointment with her.Daniel ate his food with no enthusiasm. Audrey just looked at him while giving a small smile. After a while, she picked up a small box and handed it to Daniel."Open it," Audrey pleade
Daniel was surprised. Meanwhile, Audrey felt that emotions were filling her. How could they do such a stupid drama just to trick Daniel like this?"I can't watch my daughter suffer like this, Niel." Bryan's face was as sad as possible.Daniel was silent, but he could feel the sadness Bryan was showing.Bryan sighed for a moment, then seemed to want to continue his sentence. "Daniel, will you marry Patri-""NO!"Audrey screeched with emotion. She couldn't stand this anymore. With quick movements, she walked over to Patricia and pulled out the IV that was in her hand.Lidya squealed in surprise, as did Patricia who was not expecting Audrey's actions."Audrey!" Daniel shouted angrily at her and pushed Audrey's body away from Patricia."You've lost your mind, huh?!" His eyes flashed with emotion."They're just pretending, Daniel. They tricked you!" Audrey's tears fell. She was nine months pregnant and Daniel as a husband should not have pushed her so hard, just for another woman."You sh
"Audrey, Audrey! Nothing is impossible in this world. I can be a mother without giving birth."Patricia was happy to see Audrey's pale face at this time. Her laughter never left her face. She even deliberately made her laughter louder so that Audrey could no longer move.Meanwhile, Audrey was still standing while clutching Daniel's arm tightly, her face grimaced in pain, and cold sweat began to soak her forehead, but she did not take her eyes off Patricia.The woman must have just been bragging because she was annoyed that her lies had been exposed by Audrey."I don't believe it!" Audrey's voice sounded hoarse.Patricia shook her head lightly and smiled dismissively at Audrey."You don't know that Daniel's grandfather wants me to be his grandson-in-law, but I'm weak and can't get pregnant for now, so he suggested that I take an egg and combine it with Daniel's sperm, then implant the embryo in your stomach when you go to the hospital to check your body, so, dear sister, thank you for
He looked expressionlessly at Lidya for a moment, then back at the emergency room door that was still lit up.Seeing that, Lidya was getting worried, Daniel didn't seem to care about Patricia anymore. Then he added. "Patricia was unconscious for a while, right now her condition is so weak, she needs you to be by her side, Daniel.""You can call a doctor to check on her," he replied nonchalantly."I did. It's just that she keeps calling your name. I felt sorry for Patricia who was helpless. Her face looks pale. She must be thinking about what Audrey said earlier. That child! Always causing trouble. If only Audrey hadn't come, maybe Patricia wouldn't have dropped like this. It was all Audrey's fault. She is responsible for Patricia's health."Daniel, who heard this, started to get annoyed. His hands were clenched into fists, holding back his emotions."That woma has never been able to see Patricia happy. Her heart is filled with jealousy. You'd better break up with Audrey. She doesn't l
He really couldn't bear to see Audrey's current condition. All kinds of bad thoughts were now lodged in his head, but then Daniel shook his head to get rid of them.He had to believe that Audrey would be fine. Right now he could do nothing but let the doctors do their job properly for Audrey's recovery.Daniel, who was sitting on the waiting chair, unconsciously hit his head, causing him to wake up. He did not realize that he had fallen asleep. Daniel stood up and saw one of the nurses bustling in and out of the operating room.Seeing that, he immediately approached and asked what happened."The patient lost a lot of blood. And the blood supply in the blood bank is empty. The patient's blood is quite rare. So, we can't get a blood donor quickly."Daniel was shocked. He was getting weaker by the second. If Daniel had the same blood type as Audrey, he would have donated right now.From a distance, Lidya, who was spying on Daniel, heard the nurse smile. She hurriedly moved from there to
