Derek Sadler helped me up. His lips quivered for a long moment before he finally heaved a sigh. He said, "It's the Sadler family's misfortune. We are destined to have no heirs. What a sin."The old man, who was always so composed, let tears slip down his cheeks. "The Sadler family owes you, Molly. Whatever you want, just say the word."I lowered my head, clutching the urn to my chest, my gaze hollow. "Let me go."Derek agreed. Three days later, he arranged for me to leave the country. When I returned to the villa and pushed open the door, a bucket of icy water crashed down over me.Peggy Olson strolled over happily and flung a used condom into my face. "Adrian said you should clean this."It was pointless to clean that. However, I knew that it was just another one of Adrian's attempts to humiliate me. After years of experiencing his cruelty, I had grown numb. I remembered another time when I had accidentally torn Peggy's stockings while doing the laundry. For that mistake, Adr

Adrian showed no signs of hesitation. He said, "Keep going."His cold eyes fixed on me, a brief flicker of inner conflict flashing before it vanished.His voice dropped to a near whisper. I didn't know if it was for him or for me. "You hurt Peggy first. That was cruel, and now you have no one to blame but yourself."I couldn't hold on any longer. Darkness overtook me.When I woke up, I found myself in the hospital. The room was empty as Adrian had already left with Peggy.My steps were unsteady as I went to handle the discharge papers. At the counter, the nurse stopped me and said, "Miss, your card doesn't work. Would you like to call your family to cover the bill?" Stunned, I tried several other bank cards, but they were all frozen.I called Adrian and demanded, "Was it you? Did you freeze my cards? How could you?"He replied mockingly, "You're still pretending that you're not after my money? Everything you wear, eat, and use comes from me. Isn't it fair for me to freeze your

Adrian's face turned ashen as he tore the divorce papers into scraps. However, he tried to control his rage in front of Derek. "So she went complaining to you again? How dare you threaten me with a divorce! As if she has any right to do that." Adrian then turned on his heel and stormed off.Derek, shaking with fury, flung his cane to the floor. He collapsed onto the couch, burying his face in his hands. "The Sadler family is cursed. We are destined to have no heirs!"Adrian was convinced that I would never leave him. After all, I had endured years of his cruelty and had always found some way to sleep with him, never once daring to bring up divorce. So, he assumed that I was simply throwing a tantrum and hiding in Derek's villa.Meanwhile, Adrian showed his affection for Peggy by bringing her to every occasion, wanting to force me to appear. A week passed, and Adrian still hadn't received a single message from me.In the past, no matter how fiercely we fought, I would always cal

Derek shot Adrian a cold, disappointed look. He said, "Ten children. Molly gave you ten chances. She's no longer that blessed, fertile woman; she'll never be a mother again. Adrian Sadler, they were your children! How could you be so heartless? Never mind. Perhaps we really were cursed."Adrian dropped to his knees and grabbed Derek's leg. "Ten children? Wasn't it nine? What are you talking about, Grandpa?" he asked frantically.Derek shook him off and straightened his back as he forced himself to stand. Then, he turned and headed toward his room. "The Sadler family was cursed to have no heirs. Just go home. Are you certain you never had feelings for Molly? Be honest with yourself. If you never did, I would never have forced that marriage on you. "You've spent your whole life running from the truth. Are you really sure you don't know why the tenth child is gone?"The words hit Adrian with crushing weight. He remained kneeling, shame and dread winding around him until he struggle

I knew that Adrian wouldn't leave. He was a stubborn man who did whatever he wanted, never sparing a thought for others.For three months, he lingered at the foot of my apartment building, hoping to speak to me every day. Derek tried sending people to drag him back home, but Adrian would rather fight them off than give up. When he appeared with a bouquet of roses the 99th time, I tossed them straight into the trash. His face went pale as he pleaded, "Molly, just tell me what you want. I'll get you anything. Please, talk to me."I turned and looked at him, my expression cold. It seemed to hit him like a blow, his eyes reddening with tears.I lowered my gaze and scoffed. "You've brought me roses 99 times. You adamantly believe that I'll forgive you, just like old times. You haven't changed at all. "If you had bothered to get to know me, you'd know that I don't like roses. I've always preferred sunflowers. Peggy was the one who liked roses. In the five years we've been together, yo
