Ignoring my parents’ questions about why I was home so late, I bolted straight to my room, slammed the door, and buried my face in a pillow. I cried until it felt like a storm had broken inside me.

He was so unfair. Why treat me so kindly only to do this? Why keep planting one hope after another in my heart? Why marry that woman when he and I had been together for more than ten years?

Why? Why?

My head was crammed full of questions. My heart throbbed with sharp, sta

  • Sweet forbidden love   Chapter 167

    It was four in the afternoon when I returned home. I hurried to shower and change before playing with Treas for a while. However, the image of that man kept lingering in my mind, making it impossible to focus on anything. I sighed, picked up my phone, and scrolled aimlessly until I stumbled upon an advertisement for a volunteer tour in Virginia. For some reason, I clicked on it. It was a three-day, two-night trip. Unlike typical leisure tours, this one focused on raw, majestic landscapes with rugged mountain paths and waterfalls. Travelers were encouraged to bring small gifts to families in need living in those remote areas.The article and photos of Virginia deeply intrigued me, especially the pristine natural scenery. It was not about white sands and blue seas, nor was it the flawless beauty seen in movies. Here, I felt I could finally breathe and escape all the anxieties and burdens of life.

    I walked around the lake to let my mind relax. Unfortunately, perhaps I should have come in the afternoon. The scorching heat made it all too easy to become irritable.I had only gone a short distance, but I was already drenched in sweat. Perhaps because of the midday sun, there were fewer people gathered here than in the evening. There was no hustle and bustle, only the occasional murmur of children playing. I sat down on a stone bench by the lakeside, closed my eyes, and took a deep breath. I felt as if I could smell the fresh scent of the water, which in turn lifted my spirits and cleared my thoughts, as if all the worries of the past had been washed away.Gradually, I adapted to the sun here and no longer felt hot or stifled. The sunlight painted the road gold, but the scenery of Lake Tahoe remained as beautiful as ever. The sunlight striking the lake's sur

    Treas looked at me with his clear, innocent eyes. Only then did I snap out of that nightmare, raising my hand to wipe the tears from my eyes.Every single time, I cry whenever I dream of that person.Setting the sadness aside, I tried to force a cheerful smile for Treas and said, "Treas, Mommy is going out today. You stay home and play with Mie. Be a good boy, okay? I will take you out this weekend."Treas’s eyes instantly lit up. He grinned from ear to ear and nodded vigorously.I ruffled Treas’s hair. His smile was like sunshine, dispelling the sorrow in my heart.Today is Monday. I dragged my weary body to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face, ate breakfast, and went out for a jog.

    Treas’s words startled me even more. It turned out this was what weighed on his young mind. I stroked his hair, pulling him close to my chest, not knowing how to respond. I decided to change the subject."Well, Treas, you should hurry and fall asleep so you can be a superhero in your dreams."Treas stared at me without blinking, leaving me no choice but to sing a lullaby. It took another half hour before he finally drifted off.Hearing the steady rhythm of his breathing, I dared to turn over. Too much had happened today, and there were too many things to contemplate, making it impossible to sleep.Regarding the wedding, I wished for time to pass slowly rather than racing forward. I suddenly felt an urge to run away from this place.

    I observed Benjamin’s expression before taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly."No matter what, I will not withdraw my conditions, and I will not remove a single one. If you do not agree, I will not consent to the marriage. We can sit down and compromise on other matters, but not this. Marriage is a lifelong commitment, as you know. At the very least, I just want one week where I can truly live in comfort, do what I like, visit the places I want, and enjoy life before I settle down with you. Benjamin, can you understand me?"I lowered my voice, looking at Benjamin with pleading eyes. This was no longer a threat or an ultimatum. It was a longing, a prayer.Even so, my display of vulnerability failed to extinguish the fire in Benjamin’s heart. He hissed."In

    "Benjamin, why are you suddenly talking like this. You are acting out of blind jealousy."For some reason, the mere mention of that man made Benjamin snap at me without any provocation."I have not even brought up the fact that you slipped out today without consulting me, and even lied to my men. If you had just listened to me, none of what happened today would have occurred."What was this? Was Benjamin taking out his anger on the wrong person? He was suddenly blaming everything on me. It seemed that whenever things did not go his way, he shifted the focus to something else.I felt a fire igniting in my chest. I poured out all the frustrations I had been trying to suppress over the past few days."Yes, it was my fault for go

    It was too bright.I raised a hand to rub my eyelids, lazily turning toward the corner of the bed to hide from the sunlight streaming through the glass ceiling.No matter how I tried to avoid it, sleep was impossible. The rays had already jolted me awake, and the entire room was now

    At first, I only wanted to tease him to see how he would react. I never imagined that he and I would go this far.His praise left me feeling both embarrassed and happy. I continued to avoid his gaze, not daring to look at him directly, while he remained indifferent, his eyes fixed on that

    Olivia’s words made Eleanor tremble with rage. She lunged forward to slap Olivia, but I shoved her hand away. She lost her balance, stumbling backward before falling flat on the ground. No matter how weak I felt, I couldn't let Eleanor hurt my best friend.Seeing this, Olivia burst o

    "Listen here, you little brat. You’re still wet behind the ears, and you think you can compete with me? Eddie and I are married. You aren't even in my league."My face was drenched in tears as I watched Eleanor, watching as my uncle slid the wedding band onto her ring finger. Terrifi
