LOGINOn our first meeting, he made a fake proposal and embarrassed me, and made me lose my job, I never expected to meet him again on the same day, and this time he splashed muddy water on me. **** "It's you again? When did I become so unlucky?!" He complained. He wasn't the only unlucky one, I was also unlucky by meeting him for the second time in one day. "Get away from me," I struggled but he didn't let me go. "Where do you think you're going? Want to run away? Not without settlement. You broke my car!" Vanessa and Andre's lives were worlds apart. She was just trying to make ends meet, while he was a wealthy and powerful man who seemed to have everything. Their first meeting was a memorable one as he embarrassed her, made her lose her job, and also almost run her over while splashing water from the road on her. She retaliate by breaking his car which lands her in huge trouble as he constantly threatened to sue her if she fails to pay for the damage. He offers her a job as his assistant with plans to torture her but had no idea how he started to get used to her presence. A spark of connection, a flicker of something more. As they continued to interact, that spark grew into a flame. But with so much standing in their way, could their love survive?

Not with the weight of Andre’s arrest sitting like stone on my chest and the cold memory of his voice the last time we spoke replaying in my head over and over.Every breath I took since he was taken felt like a question without an answer. I kept thinking maybe if I closed my eyes, I’d wake up and none of this would be real. But reality didn’t bend for hope. I had tried going to check on him, but they said only his lawyer was allowed to visit and sent me back. I never stopped calling Stanley, who told me Andre was doing fine and that I shouldn't be worried, but I knew better than that. He was just trying to calm me, and yet my heart continued to be bothered, unable to shake off the feeling that he isn't well in there.When my phone buzzed that morning, I wasn’t expecting anything but another message from Stanley, or his lawyer saying they were still looking into it. That had been their routine.Instead, it
Chapter 117Andre's POV:I don’t make promises I can’t keep. And I sure as hell don’t let people think they’ve beaten me. When I saw Vanessa that night—choking, fighting for her life—something inside me snapped. That kind of fury, that helpless rage... it's not something you bottle up and forget. It becomes a vow. One I made right there on that floor as I held her trembling body: they're going to pay.I didn't sleep. Couldn't even close my eyes. I sat beside her like a guard dog all night, my arm never leaving her side. Her breathing eventually became soft and rhythmic, but every creak in the apartment kept me wired. When morning came, I was already dressed and ready to face the storm.******A day earlier, I had gone to the lab after receiving confirmed result from another hospital.Getting inside wasn't hard. I may have lost my position by my father's side, but I still had connections. Old friends. A few well-placed threats and some cash handled the rest. The technician was a jitte
Chapter 116Vanessa's POV:I could still feel the echo of Andre's heartbeat when he held me earlier, his chest rising and falling like a fortress of calm around my chaos. But calm doesn't last. Not for someone like me."I need to go home," I whispered, gripping the strap of my bag tightly. My fingers trembled, but I refused to let him see just how much. "I need to clear my head."Andre looked at me with that unreadable expression again. Half stern, half something that looked too much like pain. "Vanessa, don't do this. You should be here. With me. Where I can protect you."Protect me. I repeated in my head.I wanted to believe him. But everything I thought was safe had twisted itself into something else. My pregnancy. The baby. The truth that was supposed to protect me had nearly shattered me. The bump was growing bigger by the day, and me? I was getting more attached to the baby, and I couldn't stand to watch it get hurt."I just need a few hours. I'll return tomorrow," I lied. "To b
Chapter 115 The hospital room was tense, filled with the sharp scent of antiseptic and the unbearable silence that hung like a heavy fog. Vanessa sat on the edge of the hospital bed, her hands trembling slightly on her lap, her eyes wide and glassy with confusion. One minute she was talking to Louisa, and the next minute she found herself in a hospital with Claire here. She didn't know what had happened between the hours of her unconsciousness.The moment Andre burst through the door, he came to stand by her side, protectively, his jaw clenched so tightly that the muscle there ticked. Claire sat close to Vanessa, holding her hand, warming her up.The strange man who had walked in at the same time with Andre dropped a bombshell, claiming to be the father of Vanessa's unborn child. Andre turned to Vanessa with surprise-filled eyes."Vanessa," he asked, his voice breaking, "what the hell is he talking about?"Her breath hitched. It felt like the world tilted beneath her. How could she a
