Flora angrily stepped out of her car, parked it in the assigned spot, and entered the house. The maids hurriedly came down to take the bags from her hands and greeted her, but she didn't bother to respond. The servants working in the mansion had learned to expect her mistreatment. They relied on her for their livelihood, so they had no choice but to endure her shortcomings. As Flora ascended the staircase, she wearily removed her high heels and slipped into the comforting embrace of her fluffy slippers. She entered her bedroom, intending to shed the burdens of the day, but her tranquility was abruptly interrupted by the buzzing of her phone. Curiosity mingled with trepidation as she glanced at the screen, hoping to confirm the caller's identity. To her dismay, it was her beloved father on the line. A surge of anxiety gripped her heart as she contemplated what her father might reveal. She dreaded the possibility that he had discovered the recent decline in their company's stock value
Rowan was left awestruck as she reconnected with her long-lost friend, Rolland. A mixture of nostalgia and delight washed over her, bringing a smile to her face as she reminisced about the incredible times they had shared together.Little did she imagine that Rolland had transformed into an extraordinary man, far surpassing her expectations. The memories of her once harbored aggression towards him now seemed trivial, and she couldn't help but marvel at the person he had become.Yet, amid the joyous reunion, Rowan found herself unable to fathom the motivations behind Flora's decision to administer sexual enhancement pills to David. A surge of anger welled up within her as she clenched her fist, remembering the humiliating incident when Flora carelessly spilled a drink on her. It was unjust that David had been mocking her because of his girlfriend's thoughtless actions, for which Rowan was blameless.As Rowan's imagination wandered, thoughts of Flora's words filled her mind. She wondere
Rowan remained rooted in place, her gaze scanning the area in search of a familiar face. Time seemed to stretch on endlessly, yet no one she knew came into view. She contemplated leaving, tempted to give up on her quest. However, the possibility of encountering David's assistant, with whom she had interacted before, kept her lingering. But she couldn't simply introduce herself as David's wife to the security personnel. The contract that bound them together prevented her from doing so. The memory of David's words from the day before their marriage resurfaced in her mind, his tone dripping with arrogance and pride. The rules are clear if you want to bear the title of Mrs. Donovan. Your way of life must be pure, without scandal. I don't want to hear about any involvement with another man during the two years you bear my surname. You are not allowed to befriend any man, and you must keep your identity as Mrs. Donovan hidden until we divorce." Rowan couldn't help but pout as she reflecte
David had never wanted to see Rowan again, but circumstances forced his hand. He had no choice but to witness the chaotic scene she was causing. Although he couldn't explain why, he felt a surge of irritation when he saw the security guards dragging her forcefully. Their tight grip on her hand seemed to intensify his displeasure. Adding to his frustration, his staff members glared at her with disdain."Stop pushing her around. Let her come in," David snapped at the security guards, his outburst catching him off guard.A wave of embarrassment washed over him, while Flora, who was nearby, was shocked to hear David standing up for Rowan. Instantly, anger ignited in Flora's heart as she realized her friend's advice about the danger of allowing her partner to be involved with another woman for two years.David sighed as he observed the expression on Flora's face. Without a word spoken, he understood the meaning behind her look, but he felt the need to address his mistake before anything el
After hours of darkness, Rowan slowly opened her eyes, only to be confronted by the suffocating void of the dimly lit room.Her legs were tightly bound to the bed, leaving her feeling powerless and trapped. Panic surged within her, prompting her to scream for help, tears cascading down her cheeks. The weight of her mother's deteriorating health in the hospital hung heavily on her heart, intensifying her desperation.Her hand traveled down to her stomach and the tears flowed down the more hoping that her baby won't be in danger, now she was scared and afraid of who might have kidnapped her here.Rowan's anguished cries echoed through the room, reaching the ears of two men who swiftly unlocked the door to her prison. The heavy footsteps of the intruders reverberated, sending shivers down her spine. Fear gripped her, but she refused to let it consume her. She knew the lives of her unborn child and her dying mother were at stake, urging her to gather whatever courage she could muster.Con
David sat inside the car, engrossed in reading a newspaper article. The quiet hum of the engine and the rhythm of the passing traffic filled the atmosphere. At that moment, he looked up from the paper and turned to his Personal assistant, Richard, who was driving."Richard, did you send out those proposals to the company?" David inquired, his eyes searching for confirmation.Richard nodded and replied, "Yes, sir. I submitted them earlier today as you requested."A brief silence fell between them before Richard spoke again, breaking the stillness. "Sir, may I confirm if you still want me to drive you to Miss Flora's house?" he asked cautiously.David glanced at Richard, contemplating his response. After a moment's pause, he replied, "Yes, I still want to go. It's important."Richard hesitated, gathering his thoughts. "Sir, I understand your intentions, but perhaps it would be better if you stayed with your wife at home. She's going through a difficult time with someone close to her adm
Rowan's heart pounded with fear as Andre unveiled the contents in his hand. She desperately crawled towards him, her eyes filled with desperation, but Marco swiftly intervened, preventing her from reaching Andre.Tears streamed down Rowan's face as she pleaded in a trembling voice, her words imbued with a desperate hope. "Please, I beg you, don't harm my baby. I promise, I'll convince David to fulfill your every demand," she implored, her voice carrying a flicker of optimism, longing for a spark of compassion. However, Andre, driven by his ruthless determination to bring down his cousin, remained unmoved by her tears.He had believed that his brother wouldn't choose his son as the successor of the Oregon Groups of company. However, his belief turned out to be wrong. Now, his only option was to gather a large sum of money that would be enough to bring the company down.In his quest to find a way to dismantle the company, he sought to create an alibi using the same strategy. He gathered
David sat at his laptop, diligently working on his reports, trying to divert his thoughts from thinking about Rowan. Richard had already sent a rescue team to the location indicated by the phone call he received, but David's mind remained preoccupied with worry for Rowan. He wondered what might be happening to her.Suddenly, a flicker of hope crossed his mind, wishing that she and the baby would be saved. Although a part of him didn't want there to be a baby, another part of him longed to see them both alive and well.Normally, David would have joined the rescue team, but he was angry at Rowan for letting someone else know about their relationship. He had specifically instructed her to keep it a secret, without anyone finding out. Now he believed that Rowan was to blame.The sound of Flora's footsteps drew closer, and she entered the room with a mischievous smile on her face. She playfully leaned over David's chair."Hello, handsome," she whispered in a seductive tone. "What are you w
