Jane hated the word ‘punished’.“Mr. Stewart is always punishing me. What if I don’t want to listen to you today? How are you going to punish me then, Mr. Stewart?” Had he not punished her enough already?‘If he wants to punish me, then he should just do it!’ the woman thought as she sat on the passenger seat. “If you want to punish me, Mr. Stewart, just do it.” She gave up. He should just punish her. She did not care anymore.On the driver’s seat, the man’s eyes glinted. Then, they darkened. He turned his head and said in his deep voice, “Alright, if you want to know, I’ll let you know.” After he said that, he hooked his long arms around Jane’s neck and pulled her toward him. Then, he used another hand to rub Jane’s lips furiously. His deep voice sounded in the quiet car.“I hate that your lips have been polluted by other people, do you know that?” The pad of his thumb caressed Jane’s lips repeatedly. Suddenly, he bent down and bit down on Jane’s lips.Yes, he bit her.“Ugh!” Ja

The hot water rained down on her. She closed her eyes and let her thoughts wander… She had no idea how she was supposed to keep walking down this road anymore.It would be easy if she just gave up. Her father did not love her, her mother did not care for her. It would not be hard for her to just end all of it… Still, she did not want to give in like that!She had yet to repay her debt to Luka. That meant she had no reason to throw in the towel.As for that man… Jane was feeling somewhat frustrated. How long would she have to keep playing his games?No, she could not just sit and wait for death. At first she had been hoping that he would get tired of her soon, and then he would let her go without her having to risk offending him. As for the money she needed… First things first, she needed to think of a way to get out of his sight.She faced the mirror and looked at her reflection over and over again. After her bath, Jane had put on the clothes she had been wearing again, wasting as

Stewart TowerA black Bentley came to a gradual stop. The first to appear from the car was a long leg, followed by the rest of Sean’s elegant form. He walked around to the passenger’s seat and pulled the door open.Sean looked at the woman inside through narrowed eyes. She had not said a single word the entire way here. He did not try to hasten her, either; instead, he just waited quietly for the woman in the car to make her own decision.Until this moment, Jane still could not comprehend why she had compromised with him back then. Why had she put on the clothes he had prepared for her and obeyed his orders?A sense of self-loathing crawled into her heart— she hated how useless she was, she hated how she did not even dare to fight him!Once they got to the company, there were a lot more Stewart Industries employees around. Jane could not stand their stealthily curious gazes, so she had to force herself to get out of the car.Once she got out of the car, the people entering and le

“From now on, you’ll stay here.” Sean led Jane back to the 28th floor of East Emperor, adding, “I’ve already submitted your resignation letter for this place. Once you join Stewart Industries, you’ll just have to stick with me.”“I was doing fine with my job!” She glared at him. What right did he have to make that decision for her?“Oh, really? Do you really think a job selling your services to men is ‘fine’ by you? Jane, even if you wanted to keep working there, I don’t want you to.”Jane wanted to laugh… What about before? Who was the one who transferred her to the PR department in the first place?Seriously… How hilarious!“Mr. Stewart, that wasn’t what you said back then, was it? You were the one who put me in the PR department, remember?” Jane said through clenched teeth. “You were the one who put me to it back then, so why don’t you want me working there now?”Sean gave Jane a complicated look. “Do you really want to know?” Jane did not say anything, so Sean continued calml

While Jane was still stupefied, Sean reached out his hand and rubbed her head. “Alright, I’ll go call for delivery.”Jane was still somewhat dazed when the food arrived… and she gave Sean, who was standing at the window, another careful glance— This was her first time seeing Sean Stewart compromise on anything.As they ate, Sean forced Jane to eat another half a bowl of rice.“Why aren’t you drinking the soup? Is it bad?”He had not seen her drink even a sip of the soup the entire time.Without waiting for an answer, he scooped her a bowl of soup and put it in front of her.Even so, the woman continued to hesitate, refusing to drink.He forced her some more, and she finally picked up the small bowl with extreme reluctance. With the spoon, she took a few tiny sips.However…Sean looked between her and the bowl she was holding. After some time, he figured it out so he grabbed the bowl and then the spoon from her. In no time at all, he had picked out the small pieces of floating
