Patrick pushed me so hard that I felt a pain in the spine and a faint pain in the stomach. "Bang!" The door was shut. And the police hurriedly came to lock the door. I chased after Patrick as I yelled and grabbed the small window on the door, "Patrick Cowell, I'm pregnant with your child!"  "Then you should go to hell with your baby!" There came Patrick's cold cursing in the dark corridor. I stood where I was, feeling wronged and angry! The next day, I met Seth. And he said that he would help me get a lawyer to file a lawsuit. But later, he told me awkwardly that all the senior lawyers were not willing to take this case at present and only some new lawyers planned to have a try at it. Although my chances of winning the lawsuit were very slimy, he hoped that I would not give up. Not give up? How could I not give up under such a situation? A month later, the first trial began. I was brought to the court and stood in the defendant's se

Seeing that I looked at the toiletries as I walked to the bathroom, Seth said with a little shyness, "I haven't bought anything for a woman before. And I don't know what kinds of products you are using. So I just bought a few ones smelling fragrant." "Thank you." I opened the shampoo and smelled it. It was fragrant. After that, he took me to dinner. During the meal, he said that he was starting a business now and asked me if I was willing to go to his company to be a designer. I knew that he wanted to help me. But over the past one and a half years, I had been in prison. And I was not sure if I could be qualified for this position. Hearing my words, Seth said briefly, "I believe in you." After dinner, he took me to his company and showed me around. After that, he took me to a desk which was prepared for me. I found that it was a desk in the corner of an office which was closest to his office. Seth explained, "I remember that when yo

I pulled my hand out of Seth's hand with force. But at this time, Angie had already walked to my side and stared at my wrist attentively which Seth had just held. "Haven't you left yet?" When Seth saw Angie, it seemed that he didn't feel anything wrong with his behavior. Instead, he said to her, "Go back early and have a rest." He was trying to drive her away. Angie smiled slightly and nodded, "I'll leave now. I won't bother you anymore." When she was about to turn around, Seth added, "Charlotte is my junior sister at college. You should take care of her more." Angie stopped, looked at me, and said slowly, "Okay. Don't worry." As they talked, I knew I was trapped. ...... After Angie left, Seth said that he wanted to take me to dinner. I agreed first. After I got in the car, I pulled Seth's hand as he was going to turn the key. Then I said, "Seth, I want to tell you something." Seth seemed to realize what I was going to s

I was overwhelmed by Tyler just now. And my waist hurt. It took me a lot of effort to get up now. I got up. Through the mirror in front of me, I could see Patrick standing outside a compartment. Although I saw him at the entrance of the hotel last time, I didn't see his face. It was the first time that I looked at him in his face ever since I was released from the prison. He was wearing a black suit, who was almost the same as he had been more than a year ago. But what about me? I saw my face through the mirror. My hair, which was soaked wet by the water, clung to my face. Most of my makeup was ruined. And my clothes were covered with dust that I had got while working in the construction site. I thought that we would meet again. But I didn't expect that I would run into him again when I was in such a bad situation. Patrick looked at me in the mirror as he curled up the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Charlotte Archer, I have

The next day, I woke up amid the aroma of the porridge. Actually, I hadn't eaten anything for almost 24 hours. And I felt that my throat was dry and thirsty. I looked at the surrounding layout, which indicated clearly that I was in a single man's house. I already guessed where I was. I wanted to get up. But I felt dizzy as soon as I got up! So I fell back onto the bed again. Right at this moment, the door of my room opened. And Seth stood at the door, holding a small plate with a bowl of porridge and a plate of side dishes on it. Seeing me get up, he immediately put the things in his hand on the bedside table and held me, "You are suffering from a serious fever. Where are you going?" Then he pressed me on the bed and handed me the porridge. I wanted to take it over. But he stopped me, "The porridge is hot. I'll help you take it." I was a little embarrassed, intending to finish the porridge quickly. But the porridge was h
