Calla Sherman was awakened by the sound of running water. She opened her tired eyes and was shocked by what she saw. She was in a luxurious room. The bright morning sun shone on the sheets. The clothes of a man and a woman were scattered on the carpet, and the scent of the aftermath of a night of passion permeated the room.She looked at her naked body under the blanket and felt the discomfort coming from her nether region. She tugged at her hair as bits and pieces of the memories from last night came back to her.Her boyfriend of three years said she was not gentle, considerate, or feminine. So, he went overseas with a wealthy heiress to further his studies. She put on a brave front, but she was devastated. So, she got very drunk last night. Then, in the heat of the moment, she grabbed a man from the bar and had a one-night stand with him.She sat on the bed with her legs trembling. She had always taken good care of herself. Why would she do something that she would normall

Back in the luxurious suite of the Grand Hill Hotel, a man in white was standing by the window. He was holding something in his hand as he looked at the scenic view outside the window.It was an ID tag. The words "Atlas Enterprises (Riverford Branch), finance department, Calla Sherman" were printed on it.After a while, the door behind him opened. His assistant, Simon Beck, walked into the room. He placed a résumé on the desk and said, "Mr. Garland, here's the thing you asked for."The man, Mercer Garland, hesitated for a moment before walking over to pick up the resume. His gaze fell on the picture on the resume for a good while before he scanned the remaining contents. A frown appeared on his face when he finished reading the résumé. Simon noticed the change in Mercer's expression. "Mr. Garland, I can get more detailed information for you if needed."Mercer remained silent for some time. His gaze was fixed on the résumé. Simon knew that it meant Mercer wanted him to do just t

The peace in the ward was immediately destroyed the moment Jill stepped through the door. Calla frowned in disdain. It was clear that Jill and her side of the family were there to fight for Cedric's inheritance. They never even visited him since he fell ill."Can't you just let Dad rest in peace in his final moments?" Maurice asked angrily. JIll immediately stopped acting sad and snapped, "Cedric is on his deathbed, Maurice. Shouldn't he tell us about the inheritance of the house and the reimbursement of funeral expenses by the government?""Dad isn't dead yet. Besides, the government will only reimburse us after Dad's passing." Maurice was an honest and straightforward man. He was no match for Jill when it came to arguing. Then, Rudy chimed in, "Maurice, you can't expect to take all the money for yourself. We're both Dad's sons.""You…" Maurice's face paled from anger.Tasha quickly went up to him and supported him. She said worriedly, "Are you having a heart attack?""Th

"You're five weeks pregnant, but you don't know about it? What a careless parent you are. Get some rest, then get yourself checked into the hospital. It would be best if you can contact your family to come keep you company."The doctor shook her head and left. Pregnant? Five weeks? Calla only began to grasp what was happening to her after a few minutes. She felt an urge to cry as she looked at the report in her hands.That handsome gigolo brought so much bad luck. He caused her to lose 650 dollars a while back, and the examinations she just did cost over 1000 dollars. That wasn't even the worst part. He even left a little gigolo baby in her. She was about to become a gigolo baby's mother!She was extremely unwilling to accept the fact, but after pondering over it for several hours, she decided to give birth to the baby. She didn't have the heart to end the baby's life.She steeled herself and decided to stay at the hospital to keep the baby safe. Luckily, it was Saturday. She

A black Bentley Bentayga Extended Wheelbase stopped on the side of the road, in front of a towering office building.The morning rush was in session. Everyone on the streets was rushing to work. The person in the backseat of the car was looking out the window. His gaze quickly fell on a silhouette before him.…Calla stopped wearing heels and makeup to work. She even started to walk slower. The doctor had said that during her first trimester, the risk of miscarriage was higher. So, she had to be more careful to prevent one from happening.Mercer's gaze shifted as Calla walked. When she passed the car, he finally got a good look at her face. He didn't even get to look at her clearly in the morning after their night together.He noticed that she looked prettier in person. Her skin was glowing, her hair was glossy, and her features were soft and lovely. Although she didn't possess an otherworldly beauty, she was still a sight for sore eyes. He pursed his lips slightly to express
