At that moment, Nathan was on the verge of exploding with anger.To be honest, I was afraid he might hit me next.His violent expression went far beyond my imagination. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t scared.Me: Even though I’m in a relationship with Stephen, I haven’t planned on sleeping with him for now.When Nathan saw me shake my head in response to his question, he seemed calmer than before. However, he was still intimidating.Nathan: Irene, you belong to me. Remember that.Nathan said this without giving me a chance to speak. Before I could even react, he immediately tore my clothes apart.Half an hour later…We were both completely out of breath.Nathan: Stop staring at me. You’re so ugly right now.After getting what he wanted, Nathan seemed like a completely different person.Nevertheless, I was already used to his unpredictable nature.Me: If you find me so ugly, then why did you sleep with me? I’m surprised you could even get an erection,” I mocked.I was upset because

Stephen: Irene, is it true? You spent the night together and…He didn’t go on. I assumed he didn’t want to embarrass me—or perhaps he was too shaken to finish his sentence. What he was trying to ask had become obvious. Faced with his burning gaze, I looked away guiltily.After all, Stephen was an intelligent man. Seeing my reaction, he knew that Nathan was telling the truth. Even though I really wanted to explain myself, I couldn’t deny it.Me: Mr. Spence, please. Could you stop meddling in my personal affairs? I’m very grateful that you saved me last night, but I don’t want to have anything to do with you anymore. Could you at least do that for me?Although Stephen had remained silent the whole time, I could feel how concerned he was about my relationship with Nathan. If I truly chose to stay with Stephen, I would have to distance myself from Nathan completely.Nathan: Irene, you’ll regret this, he threatened.After saying those words angrily, he turned around and left. That left onl

As I thought he was about to say something, Nathan suddenly stood up.He roared in anger, completely stunning me. What a bipolar man! Just moments ago, he had been speaking like a normal person—then, the very next second, he was suddenly shouting at me.I truly couldn’t tell what was going on in his mind.After regaining my composure, I felt my heart pounding wildly and hurried out of his office.After spending the entire day staring at my computer, I finally noticed it was time to get off work. One by one, my colleagues left. I began tidying up my desk as well and was about to leave when I heard my phone ring. Seeing that it was a call from home, I frowned in curiosity.Me: Mom, why are you suddenly calling me? What’s wrong?Mom: Have you left work yet?My mother asked gently.Me: I was just about to leave. Why did you call?I replied, puzzled. As far as I could remember, my mother never called unless she needed a favor. Seeing her call out of the blue, I was sure something was wrong

Me:Mom, you’re really putting me in a very difficult position. I honestly don’t have much money.It’s not just a matter of choice — I simply don’t have the means to help.Given my financial situation, where could I possibly find such a huge amount?Mom:Irène, I’m begging you. Wayne is so scared that he doesn’t even dare to go back home now. After all, he’s the only son in our family. If something happens to him, how will we live the rest of our lives in peace? my mother said sadly.Hearing her trembling voice, I became more and more distressed.How could I possibly…Me:Alright. I’ll think about it. How much do you need right now? I replied.In the end, my heart softened. Even though I didn’t have any money at that moment, I couldn’t bear to see my parents like that. My father had already suffered a heart attack — what if he had another one because of this? I couldn’t take that risk.I knew that even if I helped Wayne this time, he would repeat the same mistakes in the future. Still

Nathan: Come in.Nathan’s cold voice rang out.I opened the door and walked in.The moment I entered the office, I felt someone grab my arm tightly. The next second, I was pressed against the wall as Nathan immediately closed the door.Me: Nathan, what are you doing? If you keep acting so brazenly, you’re going to scare me to death.Seeing that I was getting angry, he didn’t say anything else. After letting go of me, he headed straight for his desk.Once he moved away from me, I felt much more relaxed. I then walked over to him and placed the documents on his desk.Me: Mr. Spence, this is my latest revision of the design plan. Could you please check if there’s anything wrong with it?After suppressing my anger, I did my best to remain professional and spoke calmly to Nathan.He gave the document a brief glance.Nathan: The concept isn’t bad, but we need to rework some details, he replied.This time, he ha
