Todos os capítulos de She Gave Up When The Contract Ended: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

The day Antonia Wood was discharged from the hospital, everyone in Oro City was waiting for her to make a spectacle of herself. They expected her to go after Ian Hoffman like a raging shrew, just as she had the previous four times.Someone even started a discussion thread online.[How will Antonia do this time?]The comments poured in.[Everyone knows Nicole caused Antonia’s miscarriages. Number ninety-nine must be Mr. Hoffman’s true love. He certainly protects her like she’s the most precious thing in the world.][Antonia is a stupid, greedy shrew who married into a rich family for money. She deserves everything that has happened to her! Ian should’ve divorced her years ago!]To everyone’s surprise, Antonia did not react angrily. Instead, she calmly liked the comment calling for her divorce.Then, she replied from her verified account. [You’re right.]Her response stunned everyone online.Even one of Ian Hoffman’s influencer friends started a livestream and invited him on t

“What are you doing? If you have a problem, take it out on me. Don’t hurt my dad!”Antonia’s eyes widened in terror. Forgetting all pride, she dropped to her knees and begged Ian for mercy.Ian, however, would not look at her again. He barked at the butler outside, “Get her out of here. Nicole shouldn’t have to look at her!”The butler immediately stepped forward and dragged Antonia roughly out of the master bedroom.The door slammed shut in front of her.Antonia cried out desperately as the butler continued to drag her away, “Ian, please don’t hurt my dad! He’s already in a vegetative state. He can’t survive any more abuse!”However, from inside the bedroom came the unmistakable sounds of Ian and Nicole losing themselves in each other, drowning out Antonia’s pleas and crushing the last of her hope.The sounds continued without pause.The humiliation barely registered. Antonia was overwhelmed by a despair so profound that it felt as if her heart had shattered.She could not wa

Antonia was completely bewildered.“I didn’t do anything!”Right after she said that, Nicole rushed forward and pointed at her, screaming, “Mrs. Hoffman, I’ve tried my best to stay out of your way. Why do you keep trying to destroy me?”With that, she pulled open the front of her clothes, revealing ugly bruises and suspicious red marks around her collarbone.“You didn’t do anything? If Ian hadn’t arrived when he did, I would’ve been...”Ian’s expression darkened further at the sight of the marks.“Antonia, how could you do this?! I warned you that if you ever went after Nicole again, I’d make you pay. Why won’t you stop?”Antonia tried desperately to explain, “I didn’t do it! Ian, you can investigate it. It wasn’t me!”“Still denying it?” Ian’s eyes were bloodshot as he seized her by the throat. “Antonia, I actually believed you had stopped caring when you burned all those things. But you were only trying to make me lower my guard so you could go after Nicole! “Have you for

Ian spent the entire week at the hospital with Nicole in her private ward.By then, she had mostly recovered from her injuries. “Ian, after everything that happened, are you really still not going to divorce Antonia? You promised we’d be together forever, but at this rate, I might not even live long enough for that forever to mean anything!”Ian’s expression hardened.His voice turned cold. “Nicole, I made it clear from the very beginning that Antonia is the only woman I will ever marry. You told me you were fine with what we had and didn’t expect anything more. “If you bring this up again, then whatever is between us ends here.”Nicole felt a painful tightness in her chest.Her fingers curled into a fist. For a fleeting moment, something vicious showed in her eyes.Tears immediately welled in Nicole’s eyes as she wrapped her arms around Ian’s waist. “Don’t be like this, Ian. I’m not asking because I want to take Antonia’s place as your wife. You know I don’t care about t

Ian frowned.For a moment, the news hit him with enough force to knock the breath from his lungs.A second later, he gave a dismissive scoff, as though he had just heard a ridiculous joke. “Antonia put you up to this, didn’t she? At least come up with something more believable. “Tell her if she wants me to call off tonight’s party, she can come here and ask me herself. She needs to stop playing these childish games.”With that, he ended the call and blocked the number.Strangely, his mood had improved considerably.He looked toward the entrance again with growing anticipation.Nicole came up beside him and clung to his arm. “Ian, is Antonia giving you trouble again? I’m sorry. None of this would be happening if it weren’t for me.”However, Ian gently pulled away from her. Without even sparing her another glance, he walked straight toward the ballroom entrance.A cool evening breeze swept past as Ian stood on the steps and watched every car that approached and drove away.H
