"But all that had a price. I never was someone who possessed pride to begin with, and there's a price for suddenly turning my life around to live like a human being, and to attend parties dressing like a high-status lady. His ex-girlfriend came back and wanted to kill me. I was going to give up, Noah, I was, but then I realized that the only thing that gives me the pride to live on is you and Mom. You are the one that made me realize what it truly meant to have a husband. We might not have actually been together, but I think of you as my husband from the bottom of my heart. And then there's Mom. I once had parents of my own, and they are still well and alive up until this day, but they have never given me even a little warmth and love. Your mom is the only one who made cotton shoes and cotton pants for me. Two months ago, I came down with a fever. Mom was worried that it might affect the baby and, despite being of old age, she stayed up all night wiping my body with cold towels. She is

"Die now! Get beaten to death by Alex! That lover of yours, too! Die, both of you!" Lily cursed viciously.Out on the streets, the area had been temporarily blocked, leaving only Alex's subordinates at the scene; for those who were still curious about what was happening, they could only peep out the gaps of their doors.On the street where the bone-chilling wind blew, Alex, Jane and Noah, who was lying on the ground, along with Alex's subordinates who surrounded them, were the only people left. Everyone heard Jane when she called Alex ‘Hubby’ loud and clear.These men knew their master best and could tell that Alex was truly enraged and, most importantly, insanely jealous. At that very moment, Garrett was one of the people who worried about Jane most, but what good was worrying? His master had never hesitated to take lives. Alex's lack of mercy was comparable to that of Sebastian of South City. Alex was also a man that slayed his way out of hell; taking one single life would have be

"Of course you haven't because I'm probably not even human to you. When you first rescued me, you probably thought of it as saving some weakened animal that was about to die, instead of a human, didn't you? Which is why you have no idea that, when you ran me out without my identification card, I couldn't even find a hotel to stay even if I had the money for it. To stay alive, I had to walk all the way back to your house, hoping that I could get my card back and take a few clothes with me because I had nowhere to stay. I didn't want to cling onto you. I stayed the entire night outside by the bushes outside your mountain mansion, and do you have any idea on how I pulled through? Do you know how scared and helpless I felt? You don't, because you have always objectified me instead of treating me as a human being. We've been living together like a married couple for years. I know you best, and I dare say that I'm the woman who loves you most in the world, which was why I didn't beg or try t

Therefore, dead or alive, staying together was the most important thing. Noah cried out to Jane over and over again, but Jane couldn't seem to stop her tears from falling."Noah, stop talking, Noah. Listen to me. You are only forty; after saving up for three to four years, you can still find yourself another wife. Mom wants a grandchild so bad, Noah, you have so much more to live for. A man as kind-hearted as you will live a long life with plenty of children and grandchildren. Just remember to set a grave up in my name then and come to visit every now and then, and I'll be more than satisfied," Jane said with a smile that shone with contentment. She did not need much. She wanted so little, very little, to the point that she would be happy as long as there was someone who thought of her in this world."By the way, Noah," Jane added. "Will you please return the money Sabrina lent me after my death? She is my savior, the best girl I've ever known in this world. You have to help me retur

"Oh, okay, we… We will leave right now!"Jane and Noah helped each other up and just as the two had taken a step to leave, Jane suddenly paused and said, "Wait.""What's wrong?" Noah asked."Food. Our food. The food the owner gave us, Noah. I won't be able to work this job as Master Alex is asking us to leave this city. We need to eat something before we leave, my food…"It was only then that Jane had finally remembered the food in her pouch. She turned around abruptly and stared at the leftovers that she had thrown to the ground. The food in the pouch had been liquid and had spilled all over the ground, leaving nothing much inside the pouch. Even so, Jane could not bring herself to throw it away. After spending seven years by Alex's side, she had forgotten how hard life could be, but back when she was imprisoned by her husband, she had once been starved for three whole days, and even pet food would have tasted like heaven back then. When she was on the run with Noah, the three of
