Chapter 51: Whose property
Summer’s Point of ViewWith a calm demeanor that never faltered, Steven rose from the plush beige couch and took slow steps towards me. The sound of his footsteps echoed through the spacious room, causing my heart to gallop. As his piercing blue eyes locked onto mine, a shiver ran down my spine. The shock in my expression was conspicuous, while Harvey’s face grew even more sullen.How long had he been standing there? I had not seen him earlier. It was strange since he was quite tall and exuded an overbearing aura that was hard to miss. I could feel my fingers turning icy-cold, as if he was passing judgment on me for something I didn’t even do.Harvey stood his ground. “Mister Carter, I won’t apologize if my question offended you. Summer is my best friend, so her well-being is my business,” he said adamantly.Steven had finally stopped at our spot. His eyes darted from person to person before settling on the man standing next to him. His presence alone had a way of making people feel f

Chapter 52: The Caller
Summer’s Point of ViewAs my days at the hospital came to a close, I realized I would be discharged in just two days. It was a relief to know that I could finally go home and work on my marriage with Steven, as we had agreed in our contract. While I hadn’t mentioned it to him, I could tell that he was making an effort. He would bring me food for dinner without being asked, and it made me feel relieved. However, today I asked him to stop because I had grown tired of it. In fact, I had been consuming a lot of junk food and snacks lately, which had left me feeling full and satisfied.Unaware, my eyes gradually shut as I drift off to sleep. Suddenly, I awaken, feeling chilly, noticed that the entire room was pitch black, and the only sound was the hum of the air conditioner. Nonetheless, I saw a faint glimmer of light emanating from the corner.As I rubbed my eyes to clear my vision, I glimpsed Steven intently focused on his laptop. With a gradual movement, I rose from my bed and made my

Chapter 53: Self-respect
Summer’s Point of ViewGlancing furtively at the door, I traced its outline with my eyes, praying it would remain closed and no one barge in. The room was eerily quiet, with only the sound of my ragged breathing piercing the silence, despite Nana’s presence. As I mulled over whether to answer the call, I could feel beads of sweat forming on my forehead and a knot in my stomach.Thankfully, she saw my hesitation and spoke hearteningly, “I don’t see any issue with you answering calls to your husband’s phone, as long as it won’t harm his company and businesses. Besides, if the caller is a woman, shouldn’t you be double cautious, Missus Carter?”I looked up at her with a concern display and warily questioned, “...you think so?”Along with her two nods, she grinned. “In fact, you used to do that whenever Mister Carter forgot his phone before.”“I used to?” The disbelief in my expression couldn’t be covert. “Then... what did Steven say? Was he angry? I wondered if he hated me touching his p

Chapter 54: Harder
Summer’s Point of ViewAt first, I was caught off guard. But soon, I released a breath I didn’t know I was holding and stood up. My intention was to return his phone, but to my dismay, I was not successful in erasing the entire call history. He was reluctant to take it, but eventually, his hypnotizing eyes gave in to the glow of the screen. As he examined the call history, his sword eyebrows knitted together serenely, yet he remained silent. When he reached out to claim the phone, I instinctively pulled it away again, feeling a surge of apprehension.He remained silent once more. As a result, a small irritation crept into me. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”“What am I supposed to say?”“You have every right to be furious!”“Why would I?” he asked, his voice laced with a hint of fascination and indifference.“Although I knew I didn’t have your permission, I couldn’t resist the temptation to answer the call on your phone!”“And so?” “So…so…” My words dangled in the air, unable to weav

Chapter 55: Choking
Summer's Point of ViewAs the sun's warm encompass kissed my skin, nature's vibrant hues burst forth in a breathtaking display.In that very instant, the two of us found ourselves utterly paralysed, as though the hands of time had seized us in their unyielding grip, rendering us motionless. I ceased my futile resistance against his unwavering hold, surrendering to the overpowering wave of willingness that ravaged me. Gently, he guided me down to the floor, our bodies still and unmoving, suspended in a moment of profound stillness. I made a deliberate choice to resist my impulse of turning towards him, and as I did, my senses couldn't help but notice that he, too, steadfastly maintained his position. A wave of paralysing fear sprayed over me, leaving me shaken with uncertainty and second-guessing every step I took. The mere notion of moving even a single step ahead sent shivers cascading down my spine, as I was plagued by the haunting possibility of losing my balance and succumbing to

Chapter 56: Love Triangle
Summer’s Point of ViewHis touch was electrifying as his hand found its way to my neck, his grip firm yet strangely gentle. I could feel the intensity building between us, a raw desire that seemed to consume every inch of my being. With a subtle movement, I guided his hand, urging him to tighten his hold, craving the intoxicating sensation of his touch.As the air grew thick with excitement, I found myself gasping for breath, my chest rising and falling with each passing moment. In a passionate pursuit of deepening our connection, I boldly extended my hand towards him, gently intertwining our fingers.

The consequences of my actions were undeniably apparent, as felt by the sudden wetness between my legs and an unmistakable shift in his demeanor.Feeling the heat emanating from his body, I slowly slipped my free hand inside his pa

Chapter 57: Protective
Summer’s Point of ViewMy eyes darted back and forth like a ping-pong ball between the two men. Their tall, looming figures towered over me, casting a dark shadow on my petite frame. Their grip on my wrist was like a vice, cutting off my circulation. I could feel my pulse racing as I struggled to break free. Suddenly, I shook my hands vigorously, causing Harvey to release his hold on me. But Steven’s grip remained unyielding, and I let out a frustrated sigh. “Harvey, I truly appreciate all the care you’ve shown me, but...” my voice trailed off as I thought about what Steven and I had been doing earlier. “It’s not what you think.” But, like, the moment I said that, Steven totally pulled me in all close to him and I could totally hear the clinking of his belt. In an instant, I straightened my posture, sensing as if I had been caught red-handed. My heart raced as he confidently placed his strong hand around my waist, his lips tenderly grazing the sensitive skin of my neck, leaving a pa

Chapter 58: Coffee
Summer’s Point of ViewAfter the events of yesterday, Steven and I kept quiet about what had happened. He was the one who handled my discharge, and later that night, I returned to our house.As I sat in front of the table, my attention was drawn to the empty coffee cup before me, staring blankly at it. The faint aroma of fresh brew mingled with the scent of evening dew seeping in through the open window, creating a peaceful ambiance. Suddenly, the loud buzz of my phone shattered the tranquility. I glanced at the caller ID and ignored it, but my eyes remained fixated on the device, waiting for it to stop. Just as I thought it had, the phone rang again, jolting me out of my reverie as it echoed through the entire living room.“Don’t you want to answer it?” Nana Tere asked, placing yet another cup of black coffee in front of me. After she put it down, she hesitated before adding, “This is your fourth cup. I’m afraid I can’t give you another one.”I had been so preoccupied that I hadn’t

Chapter 59: Déjà vu
Summer’s Point of ViewI was left speechless, my jaw dropping to the floor. I let my words slip out without thinking. “Are you kidding me?” My voice carried through the air, echoing disbelief. “He may be one of the wealthiest business tycoon but—”“He can do it.”“What?” I turned my head towards Brandon at a snail’s pace.“Mrs. Carter, some companies can be handled with a breeze. Take a gander at this scenario: If the big cheese in New York who gave Miss Amby a hard time gets the boot and is forbidden from ever gracing this place again, then there’s no harm in making darn sure that no type of coffee is ever peddled in this town again.”“You guys... Stop blowing it out of proportion, it’s just coffee!” “That nearly took your life,” he spoke straightforwardly.Although I was surprised, I didn’t reveal it to him. Instead, I asked, “How did you know that?”“Because that day, Mr. Carter cancelled one of his business trips as soon as he heard about your hospitalization,” Brandon said, rais

Chapter 60: Ex-boyfriend
Summer's Point of View We were speeding in his Mercedes Benz, travelling in the fast lane. Since he hadn’t brought his driver along, he ended up driving and I sat in the passenger seat. He had his nose to the grindstone on the road while I had my eyes glued to his face. The crackling radio emitted nostalgic tunes, filling the thick silence as the nightfall draped us in its pitch-black cloak. He had caught on to my long-term gawking and gave me a piece of his mind. “Speak your mind instead of giving someone a cold. I’m not a mind reader or have a crystal ball to magically know what’s going on inside your head.”I shook my head and refocused my gaze on the road ahead. I didn’t want to stare at him like some obsessed wife, but the information he was revealing was more confusing than helpful in my attempt to regain my memories. Earlier, when I asked him to clarify his words, he deftly avoided the topic, leaving me with a lingering doubt that had been weighing on my mind ever since.After
