The Woman From Hell

I let out a shriek and backed away instinctively. “It’s me.” I was shocked for a moment, hearing Theo's cold voice. Did he not head off to accompany Cindy? Why did he return so quickly? He did not say anything, and he leaned down to kiss me. I could not avoid him. A sharp stench of alcohol filled my mouth. Theo was drunk! I was afraid. The last time he entered my room, it was three years ago. He was drunk the last time as well. I could still remember his condescending look and his mocking tone of voice vividly. I panicked and gazed at him with a pleading look. “Please don’t...” “Huh?” He raised his head and looked at me. His dreamy eyes looked darkened. The baby in me was only seven weeks old. Remembering what the doctor said, I was afraid that I would be in danger. I forced myself to look up at him and pleaded. “I am not feeling too well.” He did not say anything, but I could sense the fire burning in his eyes.His expression showed me that he w

I closed my eyes. I felt like there were daggers in my chest. I did not want to watch the person I loved deeply care for other women and hate me.“This is my office. Please go to the reception room,” I insisted when I opened my eyes again.Theo sneered and pushed me away. He said sternly, "Wanda Lane, do you think that the Grant family belongs to you just because you bear the title of Mrs. Grant? You are not worthy!"His sharp words were disheartening as if they were cold water splashed at me.I took a step back and helplessly watched as Theo carried Cindy into the bathroom.He was right. This place belonged to the Grant family and not to me.Theo opened the wardrobe and took out an unworn set of clothes. He handed it to her and said softly, "Quickly take a hot bath. You might catch a cold later.""Theo, it is not that I do not want to wear Wanda's clothes. But you know that I have some skin allergies, so I can only wear custom-made clothes." Cindy held the clothes and said with

He stopped in his tracks and asked apathetically, "What is the matter?"“It is Grandmother's funeral today,” I said quickly.He paused for a long time before saying, "It is good enough if you attend.""But she is your grandmother." His attitude toward his grandmother had already made his eldest uncle and his second uncle very unhappy. If he did not attend today, what would they think?"I have already made arrangements for the burial. Go and talk to Keith." His voice was calm as if he was giving instructions.Seeing that he was about to leave again, I raised my voice and said uncomfortably, “I have agreed to the divorce. The condition is that you accompany me to Grandmother's funeral in the afternoon, and I will sign the divorce papers after that.”For some reason, my words managed to provoke him. He grabbed my jaw and snapped, “It is not up to you whether to divorce or not. You do not have the final say.”I did not struggle and just let him grab me. I just looked up at him with

Ignoring her antics, I leaned quietly against the doorframe and watched them. My face was expressionless."There are no external injuries. Let us go and take an X-ray scan to see if there are any injuries to your bones." Mason stood up.Theo carried Cindy out while Mason followed.“Doctor Mason, can you help me bandage my wound first?” I asked in a gentle tone as I watched them leave.The blood was still flowing from my hand. No one cared about me, and I could not ruin myself just because of both of them.Theo stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at me with a frown. He said to Mason, "You stay here."Mason did not say anything. He turned around and took out some tools. He then gently pulled out the remaining porcelain pieces from my wound using a tweezer before cleaning, disinfecting and bandaging the wound.As expected of a famous doctor, his movements were skilled and gentle."Miss Lane, the wound is very severe. To avoid infection, it is best to take some antibiot

"I do not know how to either. But the Old Madam said that the Young Master knows how to open it." Miss Woods shook her head, looking troubled.I kept the box and thanked Miss Woods before leaving.Miss Wood's voice spoke out behind me. "Young Madam, you do not look too good. You must take care of your health. Before Old Madam passed away, she had always spoken about you and wanted you and Young Master to have a child soon. The Grant family's bloodline is in your hands now."At the mention of children, I could not help but stop in my tracks. I raised my hand to wave at Miss Woods and left without looking back.Grandma had three sons. The eldest son, Eastin, had a daughter. The second son, Sam, had chosen to not have any children with his wife. The third son was Theo's father, Nord. He passed away with Theo’s mother in an airplane accident when Theo was three years old.Although the Grant family had a big family business, they had very few family members. Grandma had always hoped th
