[Eloise's Point of View.]Before Vincent Hartwell left, he emphasized once again, "Madison likes mild food. Remember to cater to her palate."When you go into her room, make sure you're quiet. She values her peace and doesn't like being disturbed."I had not heard Vincent say this many words in a long time. Ever since Madison Laurent appeared in our lives, his conversations with me never exceeded five words.I listened with a blank expression, the light in my eyes dimming further.He tossed a globally limited edition bag onto the couch carelessly."Madison is kindhearted and won't hold grudges, but you must apologize to her properly. This is your compensation."I stared at the bag for a long time, my tone devoid of emotion. "Vincent, Mom is dead, and it's because of us. She was so upset that it killed her."His hand paused as he loosened his tie, then he laughed softly. "Eloise, you've been spouting more and more nonsense lately. She came to see you three days ago and looked pe

Our eyes met.After a long silence, Vincent asked, "Does it still hurt?"I shook my head. "It won't hurt anymore."He seemed to catch the hidden meaning in my words. His brow furrowed, then he stroked my arm gently."Don't worry. I'll get the best doctor for you. You won't have any scars."After saying this, he got up and locked the door, then brought another spoonful of soup to his lips and blew on it.I swung my hand out. The hot soup splashed onto the back of his hand, and his skin immediately turned red.Vincent froze for a moment. The next second, he violently pinned my wrist to the headboard and brought his face close to mine. I could feel his breath on me."Honey, stop this." His voice was husky and seductive.Vincent bit down hard on my lip, his tongue invading my mouth skillfully.I struggled violently, but the more I resisted, the tighter he pressed me down. His kiss grew more aggressive and demanding, as if he wanted to devour me whole.I did not know how long it

[Third Person Point of View.]The next day, Vincent still sat by Madison's side at the hospital, keeping her company.She looked down at her phone, then casually pointed at the cup beside her."I'm thirsty. Go pour me some water."The commanding tone made Vincent pause. He instinctively frowned.No one had ever dared speak to him like that in his entire life. The only person who had ever spoken to him as an equal was Eloise during the honeymoon phase of their relationship.He suddenly remembered the girl's carefree, radiant smile back then. Though their backgrounds were worlds apart, Eloise's eyes had never held fear or servility.A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, but then, an image suddenly flashed through his mind of Eloise asking him to sign the payment receipt yesterday.Her eyes had been full of darkness and disappointment.The smile at the corner of his mouth froze. An inexplicable irritation rose in his chest."Hmm? Why aren't you going? Honey, you can't bear

[Eloise's Point of View.]At that moment, the entire hall fell silent. I looked at the crazed man before me and frowned.A guest whispered a reminder. "Mr. Hartwell, you must be confused. This is Mr. Stern's daughter..."Others murmured among themselves. "How presumptuous. He didn't even investigate before coming and mistook his daughter for his mistress! It's no wonder Mr. Stern can't stand Hartwell Corporation."With each comment, Vincent's expression grew darker.Dad released my hand, his face ashen. "So you're my daughter's worthless ex-husband. I thought you'd at least have the decency to show some manners. I never imagined you'd be this rude."He turned and patted my hand. "Eloise, you need to be more discerning when choosing men in the future. I'll introduce you to a few young men from the Kasher family another day. Those are the kind of men who deserve you."I nodded and looked directly into Vincent's eyes, saying obediently, "All right."In that moment, I clearly saw h
