Chapter One Hundred Twenty-TwoGemma screamed loudly, the agony had reached its peak early on, but she managed to suppress it by thinking that one day she would escape Jethro and his watchful eyes, or at least patiently wait until he grew tired of her and stopped chasing her.But Gemma was wrong; Jethro seemed to be obsessed with her. He wouldn't let her go. Now, she had nothing left, and he still wanted something from her."Jethro, what is there left for me that you haven't taken? Speak up! I'll give it to you," Gemma yelled, not realizing that tears were streaming down her face as she spoke.Jethro wanted to approach and wipe away her tears, seeing her cry pained him deeply, and his heart felt constricted witnessing her like this. However, Gemma pushed his hand away forcefully, repulsed by his touch. Every time he touched her, a chain of painful memories from the past resurfaced. The awful and traumatic experiences he had inflicted upon her made her feel disgusted and haunted."Don'

Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Four In the early morning, Gemma couldn't sleep a wink. She felt the person beside her move, indicating that he was awake, so she immediately pretended to be asleep. She didn't want the first sight of the day to be the face of this perverted and villainous man. Jethro tenderly gazed at the woman lying in his arms, and his gaze lingered on her without moving away. Gemma thought that if he kept looking at her like this, she wouldn't be able to pretend anymore. Just as she was about to push him away, Jethro lightly kissed her forehead and buried his head in the nape of her neck, causing Goosebumps to rise all over Gemma's body. She had to suppress any sound and continue pretending to be asleep. Jethro, however, persisted in his inappropriate and disrespectful actions, even daring to slip his hand inside her clothes. At this point, Gemma couldn't pretend to sleep any longer and was about to push him away when... Fortunately, right at that moment, there was a

Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Six Despite facing an enemy a hundred times stronger, in the face of imminent death while carrying out deadly missions alongside his subordinates, Jethro had never felt fear. His heart had never pounded as fast as it did during those moments. Nowadays, merely Gemma mentioning death made his complexion pale, and he felt the fear of losing half of his life. Even the slightest frown from Gemma would make him anxious, wondering if he had done something to upset her. Everything related to Gemma mattered greatly to him, and he worried about her constantly. "Gemma, can you promise me something? Never think about death, and never talk about it either, can you promise me that?" Jethro implored, looking at Gemma with teary eyes. Gemma saw Jethro's extreme reaction and realized that she had said it casually without any other intention. She thought that if she were in Jethro's shoes, she would have similar thoughts. However, the man in front of her did not see it th

Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Eight Gemma couldn't push Jethro away; she unknowingly hit her head on the seat behind her, causing her to be knocked backward instead of protecting herself from the impact. Strangely, she didn't feel any pain at all. On the contrary, she felt unexpectedly comfortable, and only when she opened her eyes did she realize that Jethro had gently supported her head to prevent any injury. He looked at Gemma tenderly, his eyes carrying a fiery and profound intensity that defied description. Gemma, too, was drawn to the passionate gaze of this man, and for a moment, she was stunned. Gemma suddenly forgot that she had fallen in love with him at the company party because she was captivated by his charm. "Jethro, stay away from me," Gemma commanded with a cold and warning tone, narrowing her eyes. Jethro had restrained himself for a long time. He wanted to get closer to Gemma, confident that she shared his feelings. But why did everything change all of a sudden? "G

Chapter One Hundred and ThirtyGemma turned around upon hearing the sound of the closing door and let out a faint sigh of relief."When did he become so reckless and shameless like this? He wasn't like this before. It's only been a few years, and he's changed so much that I almost don't recognize him as Jethro anymore," Gemma couldn't help but mutter a few words.She knew that he was trying to manipulate her, which led to these changes, but it had only been a few days, and she couldn't speak up about it. Gemma never forgot the days of the past and the true nature of Jethro.Her purpose for coming back wasn't about retrieving her belongings. She didn't want to stay in that mansion, which was why she had used the excuse to return here. Apart from that excuse, she couldn't find any other reason.As Gemma was engrossed in searching for her things, she was unaware that there was still another person behind her. Jethro hadn't stepped out of the room from start to finish. The room had only o
