Semua Bab You Watched Me Break, Now Watch Me Rise: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Beverly turned her head to avoid Evan, causing the kiss to land on her neck instead.His unique, sharp scent wrapped around her completely. She'd once been intoxicated by it, but now it only made her feel sick. She struggled violently, refusing to let him touch her.Her resistance enraged Evan. He suddenly yanked up her dress, his large hand slipping beneath the fabric as his kisses trailed from her collarbone down to her chest.Realizing what he intended to do, Beverly thrashed even harder. She couldn't tolerate his aggressive behavior any longer."Evan, let go of me!" she shouted.Evan lifted his head at her anguished cry. His eyes were red, and his face was twisted with ferocity. Yet, when he noticed the tears sliding from the corner of her eyes, he immediately softened. He wiped them away, his touch clumsy yet tender."Honey, it's not your fault. He shouldn't have seduced you. I'm the one you love. No matter what, you'd never look at anyone else, right?"So, he really had he

The door caught against the wooden cabinet, leaving only a narrow crack. Cindy peered into the darkness and then closed it again.Once the door shut, the tension in the air finally eased. Only then did Beverly and Damien realize their compromising position.To avoid getting caught by Cindy, Beverly had pressed her back against Damien. Through the thin fabric of their clothes, she could feel the rise and fall of his chest and the fierce pounding of his heart."Let's wait a little longer before going out," Damien murmured, his voice low and magnetic. His warm breath brushed past her ear, sending another jolt of electricity through her.She couldn't help but feel embarrassed as she recalled how Damien's bedroom was covered with portraits of her and how he even fell asleep clutching her wedding photo.Yet, she couldn't move an inch and only managed a faint murmur in reply."Evan, you're the one I love. I'm begging you—don't marry me off to Calvin." Cindy's voice, thick with sobs, r

Evan's gaze locked onto Damien sharply. "Take them!"At once, the bodyguards had Damien, Timothy, and Horatio surrounded.Beverly's eyes darted toward Timothy.The little boy's tear-streaked face was full of fear as he cried out anxiously, "Ms. Sinclair, I swear I didn't! It was Harry who pushed me into the pool, and then he lost his balance and fell in after me.""I believe Timmy. He would never lie," Damien said firmly, patting Timothy's back in reassurance before lifting his eyes to Beverly.As Beverly met Timothy's innocent gaze, she didn't think he was lying either. But with Harold still unconscious, all she could think about was her own child, leaving no room for Damien and the others.Thus, she gave the bodyguards a single instruction. "You're not allowed to hurt them. We'll wait until Harry wakes up to decide what to do with them."Evan took Beverly's hand and said gently, "The most important thing to do now is to take Harry to the hospital."Beverly looked down at Haro

At Harold's words, the crowd couldn't help but whisper among themselves."Isn't Cindy Mrs. Gray's younger sister? How could she let her own nephew call her 'Mom'? Mrs. Gray's such a good woman. Not only did she provide a generous wedding gift, but she also upheld Cindy's reputation. So, how could Cindy teach her daughter to insult Mrs. Gray like that? She's an ungrateful wretch, alright.""I heard Mr. Gray was registered as the little girl's birth father. If it weren't for Calvin marrying Cindy, I'd still wonder whose child she really is. Just look at her—doesn't she have Mr. Gray's eyes and brows?"As the rumors swirled, Amber smashed her crystal glass to the ground, her eyes darkening as they locked on Cindy.Cindy lowered her head even more and pulled Emmeline behind her.Sensing Amber's displeasure, Evan furrowed his brows deeply. He then yanked Harold forward and thrust him in front of Timothy."Enough. Harry, apologize to him.""I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pushed you into

"Be your guru?" Beverly chuckled. "I've never really thought about that.""Professor, please put in a good word for me." Horatio called out to Damien several times before the latter finally snapped out of his thoughts."Bev, Horatio and Bianca are both quite capable. You should consider it," Damien said.Noticing the heaviness in Damien's expression, Beverly guessed he was still troubled over Timothy nearly drowning."Alright, I'll think about it."Harold crossed his arms and said with the gravity of an old man, "You're all so weird. My mother's just a housewife. She can't do anything. When she goes to work, she just plays a game called Mine Hunter. Even I know how to play it."He'd been watching superhero shows and idolized them, so of course he knew what a guru was.Timothy immediately objected, "Ms. Sinclair is amazing! Ms. Sinclair, I want you to be my guru too!""No way! She's my mom, so she can't be your guru. And besides, she's a woman, and women can't be gurus," Harold
