A DRINKVincent came to a halt as he stopped at a restaurant to grab a quick bite, he ran into the toilet and spat out the remaining food in his mouth immediately after he got to his room. He had to wash his mouth thoroughly as the food was very spicy."I will have a burger and a cup of cappuccino," he said as he gave his order to the waiter. He just had to eat something as his hunger pangs had intensified, as he devoured the burger, thoughts of Jessica crippled through his mind.Vincent quickly finished his meal as he did not want to spend too much time because he knew how impatient Jessica Could be sometimes. He entered his car and hurried over to Jessica's, getting close to the inn, he parked his car properly and dialed Jessica's number. "Room number!" VinVincentquired, and immediately she picked up, after some minutes he was already at Jessica's room door."Vincent," Jessica called in a honeyed voice as she led him into the room and turned on the lights.Vincent walked into the
Vincent's expression instantly radiated the terror that suddenly clouded his mind, as he watched the horror that Jessica had made, he could feel his heart pounding out of his chest and at that moment he became totally weak and confused about what to do.Still thinking about the next step, his phone gave another beep from Jessica, looking at his phone he read out the words on anger. "I am sending it out if you don't come to my room now!"With that Vincent stormed back towards Jessica's room, anxious about what Jessica might do with the clips she had. On a normal day Vincent would not have cared much about the consequences of the video getting out but the thought of Isabella getting to find out made him suddenly feel nervous and was at mercies of Jessica's sting.Entering Jessica's room he didn't fail to express his disgust at what she had done."I see you find pleasure in doing crazy things!" he declared glaring straight at Jessica his eyes penetrating her soul."What do you want?" Vi
Still heavied on by the weight of the doctor's instruction, Isabella had taken on a new duty of disappearing at the sight of Vincent.It has been over two weeks since the last antenatal visit but Isabella had done her best in seeing that she avoids Vincent at any cost.Immediately she saw Vincent approaching the sitting area, she set on her to disappear as usual but was caught up by Vincent surprisingly.He griped himself and asked "Are you trying to avoid me?" in a calm and warm. voice."Why should I?" Isabella protested immediately, her voice firm but palpable, Vincent could sense she was hiding something.As he searched for answers, he could see her expression, a mixture of surprise and anxiousness, obvious of her unexpectation of the move he had just carried out."What's wrong?" Vincent inquired his grip loosening as he felt her her heartbeat rising from her wrist.Feeling his hands pressed against hers, Isabella suddenly felt adrenaline rush over her body, she had been trying her
The sun shone brightly, casting a warm glow on the bustling city below. Jessica had always held a special fondness for sunny days—perhaps it was the way they made her skin shimmer like a diamond, or the feeling of warmth that enveloped her, boosting her confidence and charm. As she entered the company building, Jessica exuded her usual air of prideful dominance, drawing admiring glances from the workers. She thrived on attention, basking in the glamour that accompanied her every move. With a regal stride, Jessica made her way towards Lady Storm's office. She flashed a dazzling smile as she greeted her, engaging in polite conversation as they exchanged pleasantries. "Good morning, Lady Storm," Jessica said, her voice smooth and self-assured. "You look radiant today. How are you?" Lady Storm returned the smile, gesturing for Jessica to take a seat. "I'm doing well, Jessica. Thank you for asking. And you, my dear, always bring such a delightful energy to the office." "Mrs Storm,
The stout, middle-aged man looked at Isabella with concern in his eyes. "Are you feeling under the weather, miss? Why don't you come with me? I have a room where you can rest," he offered kindly.Isabella's smile, though forced, was enough to distract the well-meaning Mr. White. "Mr. White, look over there!" she exclaimed, pointing to the distance. "Isn't that your wife? You might want to go say hello."Mr. White, now thrown off-balance, quickly turned to follow Isabella's finger. "Is that...Oh dear," he muttered, his attention fully on the supposed figure of his wife.Isabella, taking advantage of the opportunity, hurriedly made her way towards the exit, her hand clutched on her stomach.In the wealthy circle, it was common knowledge that while Mr. White might be a powerful figure outside, his wife was the undisputed queen of their home.This fact was not lost on Isabella's mother and sister, who had previously tried to win Mrs. White's favor to climb the social ladder. But Isabella w
Timothy pushed the door open and barged in. He grabbed Yao's high-necked shirt and saw the marks on Isabella's neck. He was enraged, feeling like he could strangle this woman right then and there.He grabbed Isabella's neck, trembling with anger. "How could you be so despicable? A woman as filthy as you doesn't deserve to be the wife of Newhouse. Since that's the case, let's call off the engagement. You're not worthy!"Even if the engagement were to be called off, it would be him who initiated it. This woman wouldn't have the chance to leave him!Angel, on the side, covered her smile and hurried over to tug at Timothy's sleeve. With teary eyes, she pleaded for Isabella, "Timothy, please calm down. Isabella has grown up and has her own thoughts now. It's my fault for calling you over."Upon hearing Angel's words, Timothy regained his composure and released his grip.For a moment, he had actually considered choking the woman to death.No, he wouldn't lose control because of her.Isabell
Three days, seventy-two hours, it hasn't been too long. There should still be time!With a last shred of hope, Isabella tidied herself up and went out to buy the medicine.She had been idle for over a month, only meeting Audrey a few times.On this day, Audrey suddenly dragged her out, urging her to dress up nicely, then hurriedly took her away.When Isabella stood in the splendid banquet hall of the hotel, she still looked bewildered.Audrey led her to a quiet spot to sit down."Isabella, sit for a moment. I'll go find my brother and introduce you to his friends later."Isabella nodded, suppressing her doubts, and sat down, waiting for the people to arrive with a resigned attitude.When Vincent walked into the banquet hall, he casually glanced around, and then his gaze fell on a figure in the corner.After so long, he thought he had completely forgotten about that girl's figure, but unexpectedly, he spotted her among the bustling crowd.She was dressed in a pure white gown, her black
As soon as the words fell, a sudden wave of discomfort hit her again. She turned around and dry-heaved for a while, but this time, nothing came out."Just one glass of wine and you're like this?"Uh oh, was she being judged?!"No, my stomach has been feeling a bit off lately, so I had such a big reaction," Isabella explained.Vincent's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, feeling a bit angry inside. In fact, he had felt uneasy ever since he saw Isabella sitting there drinking with that older man."Drinking when your stomach is upset?"Isabella felt that the situation was extremely strange. She didn't know this person, so it was already nice of him to help. But the way he spoke sounded like he cared about her and was a bit angry at the same time."Go to the hospital for a check-up.""Huh?" Isabella was momentarily stunned, then quickly agreed, "Okay, I will go later. Thank you so much just now. Um, may I ask...""I said go now."Isabella hadn't fully recovered from her daze when the man alr
