Me: I was worried about you, so I came here to take care of Wayne.

Looking at my mother with a sorrowful expression, I whispered softly. Seeing how she kept trying to push me away, I felt discouraged.

Mom: If you were really worried, you should have gotten the money for your brother’s surgery! If we delay his operation any longer, he’ll be disabled for the rest of his life. After all, he’s your brother. How could you stay inactive and do nothing? my mother said angrily.

Even at this point, she still believed that I had money in my savings account and had deliberately chosen not to use it to save Wayne.

Me: Mom, please stop putting me in such a difficult position. If I had the means, why wouldn’t I use them to save my brother?

I said with a sigh, meeting my mother’s burning gaze.

Mom: If you’re still my daughter, you’ll do whatever it takes to pay for Wayne’s operation, no matter what happens. If your brother becomes disabled, I’l

  • The billionaire’s beloved    Are you jalousie

    Skye: It’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it. I was just asking. Seeing that I didn’t answer, he didn’t press further. Soon, we arrived at the hospital. Before parting ways, I thanked him for the ride, and he insisted on getting my phone number. Honestly, I didn’t really want to give it to him, but the way he reasoned and persuaded me made me feel guilty for refusing. He didn’t seem like a bad person, so I wasn’t too worried. Later, I stood outside Wayne’s ward. I looked through the glass to see my mother giving him her homemade tonic soup, her expression unusually soft—the kind I had never seen on her before. After lingering a moment at the door, I finally summoned the courage to enter. My mother turned and saw me, and instantly, her gentle smile vanished, replaced by a scowl. Me: Mom, how’s Wayne’s leg? What did the doctor say? I paused and asked softly, looking at her. M

  • The billionaire’s beloved    As You Wish

    Me: But…I wanted to say something, but Nathan didn’t give me a chance and kissed me on the lips to silence me. His kisses were wild and commanding, with a hint of anger.It wasn’t surprising—any other man would have lost control hearing what I had said tonight. It was a miracle Nathan had held himself back until now.He carried me to the bed while kissing me. My eyes were wide open, my heart full of anger and frustration. I was genuinely annoyed and wanted to push him away—but he felt like a huge boulder pressed against me, impossible to move no matter how hard I tried.Nathan: You’d better cooperate tonight. Otherwise, your resistance will only make my desire grow stronger.He grabbed both my wrists with one hand. His lips pressed against my ear as he spoke in a low, seductive voice.At first, I wanted to resist, but I stopped when I heard his words. I knew he wasn’t joking. When he saw I wasn’t fighting anymore, the corners of

  • The billionaire’s beloved    It Was All My Fault

    His handsome face darkened, his teeth clenched, and as he spoke, his eyes burned with fury as he stared at me.Me: Of course I didn’t say that! I just… I heard it from someone else.Noticing that all his attention was on me, I quickly tried to explain. Nathan was undeniably first-class in bed—how could I ever think otherwise?Nathan: So… what do you think? Do you think I’m powerful?No matter how hard I tried to blame someone else, it didn’t work. Nathan’s focus was entirely on me. On top of that, his gaze pressed down on me with a suffocating intensity.Me: I… I… I started to stammer.Immediately, I felt resigned. If I had known this topic would end up pointed at me, I would never have said a word. I had only wanted to see his reaction—but now, I was in trouble. How unlucky I had been!Nathan: Since you think I’m not capable… tonight, you’ll decide for yourself if I really am or not.Me: That’s not what I meant

  • The billionaire’s beloved    Panic

    Me: Nothing… I just… it seems like women are really attracted to you, and that makes me happy for you.Meeting his intense, threatening gaze, I panicked and tried to come up with an excuse. But Nathan immediately sensed the ridiculousness of my words.Nathan: Happy for me? Irene, since when do you even have the heart to be happy for me? And why am I only finding out now?He stepped toward me slowly, looking at me with curiosity. Every time he looked at me like that, I always felt cornered. His eyes were sharp, and facing him, I couldn’t hide a single emotion.Me: Mr. Spence… I just remembered I still have some documents to sort through this afternoon. I should get back to work first, I said hastily.Unable to bear his piercing gaze any longer, I hurried past him and left, my heart racing with panic.Back at my workstation, most of my colleagues looked at me with envy. After all, Nathan hadn’t even glanced at them, let alone allow

  • The billionaire’s beloved    Why Did You Drink So Much?

    Me: Alright, then I’ll take this dress, I said.Finally, I had decided to buy it. Even though Nathan had given me his card to spend as I wished, I still chose to use my own money.When I returned to West Northam, Nathan hadn’t come home yet. I quickly took a shower and put on my new dress. Truthfully, I felt a little nervous, but at the same time, excited. How would Nathan react when he saw me? Would he notice the difference?I prepared dinner and sat at the table, waiting for Nathan to come home. To my dismay, he didn’t return for a long time, and the meal had already gone cold. I picked up my phone, thinking about calling him. But he had said that we were both getting what we needed from each other. If I called to ask where he was, he would surely misinterpret my intentions.So, I lost the desire to call. Time passed, but Nathan was still nowhere to be found. I sat on the sofa, my eyelids drooping slowly.Without realizing it, I fell as

  • The billionaire’s beloved    Breaking Up with Him

    Me: Alright, I won’t go to the hospital.Hearing my answer, Nathan fell silent and got up to change his clothes.Lost in my thoughts, I suddenly noticed a bank card placed beside me. Nathan was standing silently over me, watching.Me: What’s this? I asked, looking up at him in confusion.Nathan: There’s $100,000 on this card. Go out and have fun. Buy some nice outfits—the ones in your closet belong in the trash, he said.Though his tone was casual, I felt a little uncomfortable. Was Nathan treating me like his mistress?Me: Thanks, but no. I have my own money. I don’t need to spend yours, I replied.I picked up the card and set it on the nightstand, declining his offer. I had already received enough from Nathan, and I couldn’t accept more.Nathan: Irene, you’re mine. So when I give you money, you take it. I can provide for you as long as you’re with me, he insisted.Having no other choice, I finally too
