Gianna held the bank card tightly. She knew Noah well enough to know that there had to be a lot of money in it. Her body was trembling all over. She watched as he left. Despair, longing, and hope. All of these emotions coursed through her. All of a sudden, she fell apart and burst into tears. In the end, she finally said something she had kept buried for several years. “I’m sorry, Noah. Please forgive me! You have to apologize to Gwynn on my behalf too. Tell her that I regret kidnapping Lorian all those years ago. I almost killed him back then…”He smiled ever so faintly. Opening the ward door, he left without a shred of regret. Everything that had happened between him and Gianna was now a thing of the past. Gwynn was waiting for him at the end of the hallway.He took brisk steps toward her and stopped a foot away from her. Staring at her profoundly, he said, “Let’s go home, Gwynn.”He didn’t realize that he stank of blood until he sat in the car and the stench filled the
The luxury bed was fitted with a black bedsheet. Noah set Gwynn down on it gently. Dressed in a white bathrobe, her hair sprawled across her delicate shoulders, making her seem both vulnerable and exquisite.He got a first aid kit, crouched by the bed, grabbed her hand, and applied ointment on it. There were several rope burns on her lean wrists.Speaking softly, he asked, “Does it hurt?”She shook her head and said, “It doesn’t hurt anymore!”He finished treating her wound and put the first aid kit on the floor. Raising his head, he looked at her cheeks, which looked luminous underneath the crystal chandelier. It made him appreciate how beautiful the moment was right now. He asked, “Aren’t you going to ask me anything? Perhaps you want to know what I said in the ward as well as what I said about our future…”Shaking her head, she said, “I don’t need to know.”He chuckled and held her waist. Then, he pushed her onto the bed gently and fondled her body sensually. “We can final
Noah thought Gwynn would reject him!However, she was a mature woman now. So, why would she turn him down? Furthermore, she was both delicate and submissive tonight. She was willing to give all of herself to him. The warm water in the bathtub splashed back and forth, mirroring their passionate throes.He trained his gaze on her face. It was fair, delicate, and petite. Coupled with the long black hair that cascaded on her shoulder, she looked just like a water nymph. At that moment, she was riding him so sensually that her eyes closed slightly. She reminded him of a woman who was very used to pleasuring herself in sex. At that moment, the luxury bathroom felt as warm as it was in spring.…Archibald sat in his car, exuding a chilling aura. Saul kept trying to soothe him.After a brief moment, the old man strained and said, “It’s high time that I get rid of Noah!”Saul was all but shocked to his core!He was about to say something, but he didn’t dare to make a peep. After
Anderson was still fighting with his wife. Talia’s world came crumbling down when she caught her husband cheating on her with his mistress.She had always thought that he’d remain faithful to her and their marriage, even though he secretly had feelings for another lady. Never had she thought that he’d be this filthy and sleep around with someone else. Both he and his mistress knew no shame at all. He might as well have had another family on the side. At the next moment, an ashtray was hurled above his eyes. Crimson blood rolled down his cheek. She might as well have thrown their marriage out the window the moment she hurled the ashtray at him. Anderson stared at his wife, his eyes were filled with gloominess. “Will you knock it off?”Why would she, though?A burning fury rose within her chest. Yanking Ayanna out of her husband’s arms, she swung her hand and slapped the young lady’s fair and delicate cheeks twice, drawing blood. Ayanna held her face, but she remained quie
Charlie put on a serious face. He said solemnly, “That’s a little tricky! However, it just so happens that a friend of mine has a vacant apartment. It isn’t huge, but he did have a keen sense in picking out a good place. It’s right on Heritage Lane. I think it compliments Ms. Ayanna’s status well.”Anderson snuffed out his cigarette and held Ayanna in his arms when he stood up. …A couple of briefcases were wobbling gently in the car. An hour later, they arrived at the apartment on Heritage Lane. Charlie was right, It wasn’t huge by any means. It was barely eight hundred and sixty square feet. However, its interior was nothing short of lavish and the decor was extravagant as well.Even Anderson, someone who was born into an extremely wealthy family, was awed by how luxurious the apartment was. Once he let Ayanna settle in, he walked downstairs and got into his car. Charlie drove the car himself. He spoke as if they were chatting casually. “It’s a nice place, indeed. The fa
Talia was speechless for a long time.Her tone was cold when her voice reverberated in the living room. “You don’t love me? Do you want a divorce? That’s not what you said when you married me, Anderson. You said I’m your ideal wife because of how warm and thoughtful I am.”“That ship has sailed,” Anderson said. “Take a look at yourself, Talia. Do you honestly still think you’re warm right now?”…Tears streamed down her cheeks. She asked defiantly, “Well, who made me this way? Who exactly is the reason that I became a raging shrew? Tell me, Anderson!”He didn’t have an answer for that. The night wind blew past, creating a rustling sound that reminded everyone of the swaying pendant light in the yard. Archibald was beside himself with rage when he heard what his grandson said. He barked an order to the servants, “Smash all the pendant lights right now.”“Dad!”Marisol looked distressed. She yelped in shock, “Are you going to smash everything that’s connected to Gwynn, Dad?
Gwynn was working on a painting in her gallery.Then, she heard her assistant knocking on the door. “There’s a Ms. Talia looking for you, Ms. Gwynn. She’s been here before.”She was a little stunned. Turning around, she looked outside. True enough. Talia was standing at the door. However, she was evidently skinnier than before. The sorrow in her eyes was unmistakable as well. Obviously, she had a hard time with her life. Gwynn had no interest in seeing her. However, she also knew that Talia wouldn’t quit until she saw her. In the end, she chose to meet up with her in a cafe nearby. A sweet aroma rose from two cups of coffee.A couple of elegant ladies sat across from each other. Their paths would probably never have crossed if it wasn’t for Anderson. Talia was the one who broke the silence. “You look well. Life must’ve been kind to you.”Gwynn responded dryly, “Life’s okay, I guess!”Her cold, distant attitude made things a little awkward between them for a moment. Low
However, the black Maybach didn’t park on the porch after it pulled into the villa. Instead, Noah drove it to the underground garage. The car slid down the slope all of a sudden. Before Gwynn knew what was happening, he had locked the garage door so no servant could come inside. She didn’t suspect anything, though. Unbuckling herself, she was about to get out of the car, but he held her slender waist. Then, he carried her and set her down on his lap before reclining his seat until it was lying flat. He was lying on the seat while she sat on his hips, giving rise to a tantalizing yet embarrassing sight.It was dark in the car. He brushed her delicate cheeks and spoke in an extremely husky voice. “Did you just say I’m handy in a brawl? Is that just another way of saying I have great stamina?”Her face flushed immediately.He was well over forty years old, but he could really get in the mood anytime, anywhere. There was a bulge on his deep-colored long pants. It was excepti
