Chapter 21

John didn't care about Sierra's reaction at all."I already made my choice," Sierra said, making it clear she would never beg for peace.John glanced at his fingers, still feeling her warmth at his fingertips. "You've made up your mind."Sierra, stubborn as ever, didn't respond. It was as good as admitting it.John stood up. Even after what had just happened, he straightened his suit like a perfect gentleman."Jade City has more than one wealthy person, but I guarantee no one but me will dare lend you any money," he said, adjusting his cuffs. "That includes your dear friend Holly.""What are you going to do?" Sierra's heart jumped."Nothing," John replied, stepping closer. "But if you go to her for help, that's a different story."Sierra's hands clenched at her sides. She had been planning to ask Holly for help, just to get through this crisis and pay her back slowly."And one more thing…" John deliberately dragged out the words.Sierra tensed.He closed the distance between

The wedding ring.When Sierra married John, he had a custom ring made for her at great expense. He spent millions to win the one-of-a-kind pink diamond for her during an auction. Her friends and family were all happy for her at the time, and even Holly was envious. People were still talking about what happened to that diamond.Sierra glanced down at her left ring finger, seeing the wedding ring she had never paid much attention to before. After thinking it over, she finally decided to sell it.Word got back to John almost immediately. As he touched the wedding ring on his own finger, his eyes turned dark. "She has guts. She even dares to sell the wedding ring."Sierra had been spoiled for too long. That was why she was willing to take such bold steps."Tell everyone in our circle that whoever dares to buy her things is making an enemy out of me," John said, his soft voice like the calm before the storm.His assistant Robin responded at once. "Yes, sir."In no time, the entir

"Keeping it just reminds me of all the ways he used to spoil me," Sierra said earnestly. After being loved so intensely for so many years, it was impossible to forget everything in just a few days.Since they were kids, his love for her has always been incredibly thoughtful.Holly couldn't argue with that. Before the whole Pamela incident, she had never seen a man better than John. Not in real life, not on TV, not even in books. He brought Sierra everything good in life and took care of everything for her himself.When people said Sierra didn't deserve him, he would shut them up first and then tell them calmly, "She deserves every bit of what I give her."For years, everyone in their circle had said that no one could believe the ruthless, decisive John Henderson was actually a hopeless romantic.A hopeless romantic.Sierra used to believe it, too.But people change. Even the most perfect man couldn't resist temptation in the end."Do you know anyone reliable?" Sierra asked.

"What happened?" Holly brushed Sierra's hair aside, revealing the marks on her neck. "Don't tell me that scumbag John did this to you."Sierra instinctively raised her hand to touch it, surprised that the short encounter had left its mark.Holly could tell from her expression. "It really was him?""Yeah," Sierra admitted."That bastard! Messing around with Pamela while still doing this to you," Holly fumed, cursing him nonstop. "He's a complete scumbag!"Sierra silently agreed.Holly was so mad that she looked like she could go beat him up herself."Actually, there's something I wanted to discuss," Sierra said, after thinking it over.Holly's patience for her was endless. "Go ahead.""I might need to stay in your place for a few days," Sierra said. Even as best friends, she liked to ask first, as that was basic respect. "I still haven't found a place, and I can't go back there."With John changing the passcodes, there was no way she could go back. Besides, the two of them wer

Jason Sanders, Holly's father, snatched the phone out of Holly's hand.Holly blinked. "What are you doing?""Pick one," Jason said, glancing at her message list and noticing the pinned contact named "Partner in Crime". Seeing the two unread messages, he calmly shifted the phone to delete the messages. He knew that contact was Sierra.Holly was confused.She didn't notice what he just did. "Pick what?""Me or your phone?" he said, not letting her catch on."That's easy. My phone, obviously." Holly grabbed her phone back. "If I picked you, who knows what your little girlfriends would say behind my back."Jason said nothing.Holly didn't care about his love life as long as nobody bothered her. "If there's nothing important, I'm leaving.""Wait." Remembering a certain someone's warning, Jason tried to keep her there longer. "Did you know Sierra and John are getting divorced?""Yeah, what about it?" Holly replied casually."Try not to get too involved with her right now," Jason w

Chapter 26

Sierra looked toward where the voice was coming from.Kenneth wore a perfectly tailored suit. His expression was gentle and sunny, and he wore an apologetic smile. When he looked at her, his gaze was warm and friendly, making him seem approachable despite the situation."My apologies for my bodyguards' rudeness, Ms. Bell. Please don't take it to heart," Kenneth said, walking in and taking a seat. He then poured her a cup of coffee. "Come, sit. Let's discuss the ring.""I don't want to sell it anymore," Sierra said, glancing at her phone that was still without any signal, hoping for a way out."I hope you'll reconsider," Kenneth replied, sliding the tea toward her. "If it's because I was late or my guards were rude, I can make it up to you.""It's not that. I just suddenly want to keep it for the memory," Sierra said.Kenneth rubbed the cup between his fingers, his demeanor suddenly shifting. "Is that so?"Sierra nodded. "Yes.""Then you may not really understand me," Kenneth sa

Chapter 27

"You said it yourself. I'm crazy," John replied calmly."Wait, you're serious?" Kenneth didn't expect that John was that kind of person. "If you're going to be like this, don't ever ask me for help again! Playing the bad guy and the scapegoat is more than I signed up for."John just gave him a cool look. "Coward."Kenneth was speechless.If this guy weren't his best friend, he would have tossed him out the window right now!"Take your people downstairs," John said, thinking of the woman probably already in tears next door. His gaze darkened. "No one's allowed up here unless I say so.""Yeah, yeah, we won't bother you," Kenneth shot back sarcastically, but gave one last warning. "Just don't go overboard. She genuinely looks scared."John gave him a sideways look.Kenneth threw up his hands. "Fine, fine. I'm gone, alright? I'm gone."He didn't linger, quickly leaving with his guards and assistant. Only when the elevator doors closed did John slowly make his way to the room where

"If you're recovered, then let's continue," John said, ignoring her feelings. He unbuttoned his suit jacket right in front of her, tossing it aside without care.Sierra instinctively shrank back, looking at John with alertness. "What are you doing?""What do you think a man and woman do in a bedroom and on a bed?" John moved closer, his tall figure almost overwhelming her.Sierra could only try to run, but the whole suite was locked. There was nowhere to escape."You already have Pamela, right? Why are you still holding on to me?" Sierra asked, trapped against the wall from the bed, unable to retreat any further."You're mistaken about something," John said, as if he was doing her a favor by clarifying.There was still anger in Sierra's eyes."It's not me who keeps holding on. It's you who always manages to end up in front of me," John said, cornering her step by step with a cold expression. "You came to a hotel to sell a ring. You should have known this could happen.""If I ha

Chapter 29

While Sierra was still trying to figure out what John meant, he took out his phone and made a call right in front of her. "Didn't you say you liked this sort of thing? She's in the room. She's all yours.""What are you doing?" Sierra was suddenly seized by a sense of dread."Didn't you just say you would rather it be anyone but me?" John put away his phone and looked at her again, his expression was returning to icy indifference, no hint of affection left. "I'm just giving you what you want."Sierra's heart plummeted.Seeing her fear return, only then did some of the coldness in John's eyes seem to fade.Sierra's hands and feet went cold as she frantically scanned the room, searching for anything to defend herself or escape with. There was nothing she could use. No weapons, no way out.Soon, footsteps sounded in the hallway. The suite door opened from the outside, and in came Kenneth, who had just left a moment ago."She's all yours," John said, glancing at the pale-faced Sierra

Chapter 30

Sierra was so startled by his sudden move that, for a split second, she truly thought she might fall from the twenty-eighth floor. Before she could react, he yanked her from the window ledge and tossed her back onto the bathroom floor.She steadied herself, barely managing to keep from collapsing."If you really don't want to, I won't force you," Kenneth said as he turned off the shower, a complicated look on his face as he kept up the act. "Why risk something so dangerous?""How do I know you won't force me?" Sierra's heart was still pounding. She shot a wary look at John. "You're already capable of this much, so forcing me to sleep with him would be nothing."Kenneth was speechless.He glanced over at John. Surely, they could end the act now?"If I really wanted him to do something to you, do you think you'd still be standing here unharmed?" John stepped toward her, his height exuding pressure. Sierra shrank back instinctively as she was starting to fear him.And then, in a
