Seeing the situation becoming tense, Alfred called John."We asked you to name a price out of respect for the fact that you gave birth to Tommy," Danny said, pressuring Sierra with the way he was looking at her. "But since you're being so ungrateful, there's no need to discuss anything further."Sierra replied, "You're right, there's no need to discuss this with me, because you don't have any say in this matter.""What did you say?" Danny's expression turned even colder."The divorce application has already been filed. Once it's finalized, I'll have custody of Tommy." As Sierra said this, her body tensed, but she knew she had to face them head-on. "If you try to take him by force, I can call the police."Danny and Agnes's faces turned dark. If not for the legal risk, they wouldn't have bothered coming to talk with her at all after hearing about it. Once the divorce was finalized, it would be too late for them to change anything."How selfish can you be! You'd rather let him suffe

Sierra paused, surprised that Tommy had found out."So, you know about me and your dad getting a divorce, too?" She had been struggling to find a way to tell him that would hurt him the least.Tommy nodded his little head. "Yeah!"Sierra hugged him, feeling guilty. "I'm sorry.""Mommy, you're so silly," Tommy said, his innocent face full of concern as he took her hand. "You shouldn't have fought for custody."Sierra was stunned, her heart skipping a beat. Did Tommy not want to come with her?"Even if I live with Dad, you'll always be the one I love most," Tommy said, tilting his head and thinking his mom was just too soft-hearted. He lost count of how many times he thought about it. "I'll miss you every day. I'll come see you whenever I'm on break."Sierra suddenly smiled, her eyes brimming with tears she didn't notice."You should have let Dad take care of me, so he would see how much work raising a kid really is," Tommy said softly, but his words showed wisdom beyond his year

'Who did I cross?'The only person Sierra could think of was John. No one else had that kind of influence. Frustrated, she immediately called him, her resentment toward him reaching a new high."Hello, who is this?" came the secretary's flat voice.Sierra paused. She checked the number. It was indeed John's private number. Why was the secretary answering?"This is Sierra Bell." She didn't have time to dwell on it now. She just wanted to clarify everything. "I need to speak with John."The secretary glanced at John sitting in his chair, then, understanding his signal, she slowly replied, "Mr. Henderson is in a meeting. He'll be busy for another two hours. If you have a message, I can pass it along.""He's right there with you," Sierra said firmly. He never let anyone else use his private phone, not even his secretary.The secretary looked at John, who took the phone from her and gestured for her to leave before speaking to Sierra himself. "I thought the secretary's answer would

Twenty minutes later, John came home.He wore a crisp white shirt, his handsome face as cool and flawless as ever. There was no denying that a man like him, who was rich, powerful, and good-looking, could easily make others want to get closer and make something happen."John." Pamela's hands clenched at her sides, eyes full of pity as she stood up. "I'm sorry."John walked up to her and gently pinched her cheek. "What's this all about? Why are you apologizing?""I shouldn't have tried to pay Sierra to leave," Pamela admitted, not daring to look at him. "She's your wife, and Tommy's mother. I'm sorry.""I'm the one who should apologize," John pulled her into his arms, his voice softer than ever.Pamela was stunned.Sierra was confused.Both of them were caught off guard."It's my fault for not giving you enough sense of security. That's why you feel like you have to do things like this," John soothed her quietly. "Don't lower yourself like that again. If something's wrong, just

Sierra's answer for John was to bite down hard on his finger. She bit him with all her strength, as if venting every bit of her anger.John winced at the pain, but didn't let her go. Instead, he held her face, his tone as gentle as ever. "When did you learn to bite, huh?"Sierra sank her teeth slightly harder.John used more force to pry her jaw open and make her let go."Want me to bite you back later?" John pinched her chin, voice both gentle and dangerous. "Make you beg me to let you go?""Let go!" Sierra's eyes were red as she struggled, but she couldn't break free.The more she fought, the more John wanted to see her cry and give in. He wanted to see her go from stubborn to soft and to obey.John pulled Sierra closer with her waist. When she started struggling again, his voice dropped threateningly, "Move one more time, and I won't mind doing something to you right here."Sierra froze, suddenly aware of his body's reaction and rising temperature.
