For Elaine, it was such a struggle to free herself from the painful past, to restrain herself from thinking about those things, from hating. She thought that with time, those memories would slowly fade away and she hoped she could truly achieve that.But it seemed that her resilience was not enough. The words she heard that night kept lingering in her mind, causing her sleepless nights. When she woke up in the morning and saw the time on the digital clock, it reminded her of something unpleasant.Today was June 19th, Sarah's birthday, and also the day of her engagement to Aaron.Close to ten o'clock, Sylvia knocked on Elaine's door. "Elaine, you know, we've been invited to go somewhere. Are you okay staying alone at home?"Elaine opened the door, a faint smile on her face. "No problem, what could happen? They can go ahead and plan their wedding while I live my life. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. That's it.""Yes, what could happen?" They would go to plan their we

As Elaine's calm voice fell, even the driver, who had been focused on driving, couldn't help but look up in the rearview mirror. Aaron pursed his thin lips and suddenly grinned."Give her the knife.""Mr. Brown," the driver hesitated, but Aaron gave him a cold glance, causing him to reach into the storage compartment and pull out a fruit knife, hesitantly handing it over.Aaron didn't take it himself, instead glancing lightly at Elaine.Elaine reached out and took the fruit knife.Of course, she knew that this fruit knife wouldn't be able to sever a hand. She was expressing her determination to Aaron, her determination to have no further entanglement with him. She believed that Aaron understood."I hope Mr. Brown remembers what you just said."To apply pressure on Aaron, Elaine tightened her right hand around the handle of the knife, leaving deep marks on her palm. After a moment's pause, she took a deep breath and aimed the knife at the center of her left palm.She closed her eyes ti

"Is that okay? Of course not!" Elaine glared at Aaron. Aaron's attitude made it clear that she couldn't leave the house until he said so.Being blackmailed like this, she felt extremely unwilling. Weighing the pros and cons, she said, "If you want me to agree, there's a condition.""Let's hear it," Aaron said, weak but still mysterious as he looked at her."After three days, I will leave through this door, and you will never appear in front of me again. Even if we coincidentally meet, we won't acknowledge each other."Elaine boldly spoke out her plan, feeling anxious inside but maintaining a calm demeanor on the surface. She even raised her chin slightly, staring arrogantly at Aaron. She would never allow herself to show weakness in front of this man again.She thought her provocation would make Aaron angry or dismissively scoff at her, mocking her for overestimating herself. However, Aaron just looked at her deeply, as if contemplating something or remembering something profound. She

This man, who was hailed as a genius in the business world and always admired by everyone, was like a deity towering above the rest. Even Sarah, once she crossed his bottom line, he would turn his face without hesitation.And now he sat at the dining table with a dark expression, the echoes of a woman's unrestrained laughter resounding in his ears. Elaine stood at the staircase, bending over with laughter.After laughing, she elegantly adjusted her disheveled hair and glanced back at him, innocently saying, "Don't you still have another hand to use?"Elaine nonchalantly turned her head and arrogantly raised her chin as she walked upstairs."Elaine!"A man's furious roar came from downstairs.Elaine slammed the door with a loud bang, using it to counter his yelling. In the depths of her heart, an evil thought even crossed her mind—would he die if he went without food for three days and three nights? But she was thinking too much. Aaron wasn't a fool, and he certainly wouldn't let himse

The faint smell of tobacco on him seeped into Elaine's nostrils, swirling like a delicate mist, permeating her heart. Uncontrollable moisture welled up in Elaine's eyes, and the man's cool fingers slid past her ear. Elaine trembled suddenly and hurriedly took a few steps back.Aaron awkwardly held up his hand that was about to retract, his gaze showing a hint of surprise. Elaine met his gaze for a moment before turning her face away and walking forward with long strides. "I'm tired, let's find a place to sit."Watching her walk away, Aaron furrowed his brow helplessly.Out of Aaron's sight, Elaine clenched her lips tightly. Even though she knew that once Aaron turned gentle, he was anything but human, she couldn't help but be moved by him, stirring her heart. This feeling was simply awful. She would rather he be fierce, ruthless. Then she wouldn't need to be polite to him. Once she endured these three days, the past would no longer matter.Aaron caught up, gave her a deep look, then k
