After Edward left, his personal assistant, Samuel Monroe, walked in carrying a pill.He handed it to Estelle and said respectfully, "Miss Holder, if you don't mind."It was a birth control pill. Edward didn't love her, so of course he would never allow her to carry his child.Every time, without fail, he sent Samuel with the pill. And every time, Samuel was ordered to watch her take it.Estelle stared at the small white pill, and her heart began to ache again.She didn't know if it was because her heart was failing, or because Edward's coldness had cut her so deeply. Either way, the pain made it hard to breathe."Miss Holder..."When she didn't move, Samuel quickly spoke up, afraid she would refuse.Estelle glanced at him. Without a word, she took the pill, put it in her mouth, and swallowed it dry.Only then did the worry leave Samuel's face. He pulled a set of property deeds and a check from his briefcase and laid them out in front of her one by one."Miss Holder, this is Mr. Strick

"What? What?"Penny looked like she had just heard the secret of the century. She grabbed Lauren's arm, practically bouncing."Isn't the Strickland heir supposed to have zero interest in women? He actually has a first love? And she's our new CEO?"Lauren laughed and swatted Penny's hand away. "Look at you, completely out of the loop. You don't even know the basic gossip about high society. How do you plan to survive in the executive office?"Penny tugged at Lauren's sleeve and pouted. "I'm begging you, Lauren. Enlighten me!"Only then did Lauren lower her voice."Mr. Strickland and the chairman's daughter grew up together. They're basically childhood sweethearts. Word is, five years ago, he actually proposed to Miss Hale.""But she turned him down to focus on her studies. They had a falling out and didn't speak for five years. And yet, the moment she landed back in the States, Mr. Strickland personally went to JFK to pick her up. If that doesn't tell you how deeply he feels about her,

Estelle pressed a hand to her chest. Her heart hurt so badly it felt like it might stop. She forced herself back to her desk.She had to quit. As soon as possible.She didn't want to spend the little time she had left watching the two of them flaunt their love in front of her.She was afraid she couldn't take it. Afraid she would storm up to Edward and demand to know why he had been so cruel to her!She finished her resignation letter and took it to Janice Daniels, who ran the executive office, for approval.Janice had never liked her much. She made a half-hearted attempt to keep her, then signed off.The resignation process required a one-month notice period, so Estelle couldn't leave right away. Instead, she requested two weeks of paid time off.She had worked at Evergreen for five years and saved up exactly fifteen days of PTO. Using them before she left was perfectly normal.Janice saw how desperate she was and rolled her eyes."Fine, I'll approve it. But the moment you're back, y

Victor didn't care how she felt. He ripped the robe off her.When his rough, calloused hand touched the small of her back, Estelle screamed."Victor Robinson!"The deafening shout stopped his wandering hand.But he only paused for a second. Then he lowered his head and reached for her underwear.Estelle wanted to kill him. "Victor, if you dare force yourself on me today, I'll take you to court tomorrow!"His hand stopped again. Then he scoffed, as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world."I'm not even afraid of the police. You think I'm afraid of you suing me?"Estelle clenched her fists and spoke through gritted teeth."I know the Robinson family has money and power. So what? This is the age of social media. If you try to use your influence to bury this, I'll go to the press and expose you under my real name!"Victor raised an eyebrow, completely unbothered. "Sure, go ahead. Expose me to the media. I haven't been trending in a while anyway."He clearly wasn't afraid at al

Just as Estelle finished getting everything ready, Victor sent his assistant, Kurt, to pick her up.She carried her bag down and got into a Maybach.She thought Kurt would take her straight to Victor's house. Instead, he took her to a luxury mall.A team of stylists and makeup artists surrounded her. They swept her waist-length waves into an elegant updo and gave her flawless makeup.An expensive evening gown fit her as if it had been tailor-made. On her, it was perfect.Around her neck, they fastened a diamond necklace worth more than ten million dollars. It made her look elegant, graceful, and untouchable.She stared at the glamorous woman in the mirror. It felt like a stranger. It didn't look like her.It looked like Aeliyah.If Edward saw her like this, he would probably think she was deliberately copying Aeliyah.She gave a self-mocking smile. It tasted bitter.When the makeover was done, Kurt drove her to Nightfall.It was the most extravagant playground in New York. Everyone wh
