Her studies and future plans were already ruined because of him. It was over, and everything in her life, even her dignity, was lost. Her fate was too cruel."As long as you are my wife"There were a thousand unspoken words in his eyes when she looked into them. She also wanted to ask, ‘Why me?’ but she preferred to keep it to herself."Give me your hand," he commanded."Why?" she asked, her brows knitted.He didn't say a word. Instead, he took her hand directly and slipped a beautiful ring onto her finger. The ring was embedded with tiny white diamonds. The stone was quite large, cut into a petal shape. It sparkled gloriously and turned bluish when held against the light. It was very eye-catching."It fits perfectly on your finger," he commented while gently caressing her ring finger."I don't feel like wearing this outside. It's too flashy," she told him, staring at the ring."I don’t want you taking that ring

After he was done with his desire for punishment, Alex gently carried her to the bathroom. She was too exhausted to resist, and her body was limp against him. Every inch of her ached from the overwhelming pleasure and intensity of their night. She could barely keep her eyes open, let alone move.Understanding her exhaustion, he carefully cleaned her up— his movements were unexpectedly gentle. His hands moved with precision as he wiped her delicate skin with warm water, ensuring she was comfortable. He didn’t rush the process but took his time to be thorough—yet he remained silent, his expression impassive.Once he was finished, he wrapped her in a fresh, soft towel and carried her back to the bed. He placed her down gently before tucking the quilt over her body to keep her warm.She didn’t protest. In fact, she barely reacted as her exhaustion had already pulled her into the depths of slumber.Alex, however, was far from done.His bo

"Evie."Her mother’s eyes lit up the moment she finally saw her. Eve slowly sat down on the chair beside the bed and took her mother’s hand."How are you feeling now?" she asked, looking at her lovingly."I’m feeling much better. I’m sorry I made you and Perry worry. I should be the one taking care of you two," her mom said with a bitter smile."Nonsense. How can you say that? It’s our responsibility to take good care of you," she retorted immediately.She heard her mother sigh quietly while scanning the whole room."I’m just worried that I will burden you with the hospital bills. I could have stayed in an ordinary ward. You didn’t have to put me in a private room," her mother complained despite her condition.Eve’s mouth twitched slightly. If only her mother knew that she was actually in a VIP room, she would be even more shocked. But with Mr. Harris’s arrangements, she couldn’t do anything about it."I’m

The air inside the car was stifling. Alex hadn’t said a word since they left the restaurant, but the silence wasn’t peaceful—it was taut, simmering with tension.Without turning to look at her, his voice reverberated through the silence.“Who was that man?” his jaw was tightly clenched, barely restraining his anger.Eve flinched slightly. She could feel his anger—not loud, but dangerously cold.“Matthew,” she replied softly. “He was a friend from the University.”Alex’s expression tightened even more.“Just a friend?” he echoed, his voice dripping with disbelief. “How long have you two known each other?”Eve fidgeted with her fingers. Why did it feel like he was roasting her alive on a frying pan with his overbearing interrogation?“Almost four years. We were classmates since first year of college,” she responded in a lower voice.He became silent and fell into deep thought when he heard her reply.

But he always made a remarkable move whenever they were together. It made her even more puzzled every time. When he finished blowing her hair, he took the remote control and turned on the heating system, making the whole room feel a little warmer. "Thanks," she casually said in a lukewarm tone as she got up. "Should I receive some merit then?" He arched his handsome brow and teased her. "Stop spouting nonsense! What reward are you talking about? I didn’t tell you to dry my hair," she spat without looking at him and quickly turned around. Alex, on the other hand, gently shook his head, amusement written all over his face. She looked so cute in her nervous state. After grabbing his pajamas, he proceeded to the bathroom. Evie, who was already on the bed, breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t really feel safe around him. His strong and oppressive aura made her feel like she would suffocate at any moment. She always felt like he would devour her entirely under his intense gaze.
