Martha had keen eyes. That was for sure.Despite the crumbling relationship between Gwynn and the Templeton family, blood ties were just complicated. She might have met Daphne just once, but she was already planning a bright future for the little girl. Daphne was all but promised a prosperous future.Ayanna gently patted her daughter.That was when the doorbell rang. Martha went to answer it and found a wealthy lady standing there. Unable to help herself, she asked, "Have you come to the wrong door, miss?"It was Talia. Last night, she discovered her husband was keeping a mistress. So, she followed the clues and ended up here. To her surprise, however, it wasn't a young and beautiful woman. In fact, it was someone from the past, someone who had caused Anderson to end up in prison.He and Ayanna were together again.As soon as she walked in, she saw the illegitimate child. How could she not be furious?She had been dutiful to her husband and in-laws since reconciling with him.
In the evening, she made a phone call to Anderson, who answered the call.After a moment of silence, Ayanna spoke softly, "I want to leave the city, Anderson. I've wronged you in the past, but I will find my own way to make amends.""Make amends, you said." He took a sip of his drink.He leaned back on the sofa, giving a gentle smile as he gave her the sweet talks again."What's wrong?"Why are you saying these resentful words again?"The best way for you to make amends is to stay by my side and let me see you whenever I want."…Ayanna buried her head in the covers, unable to hold back her tears."Anderson."He continued to soothe her gently.Initially, she had made up her mind to cut ties with him, but now she was wavering.Having been in the business world for so long, he understood human nature deeply.He sensed her hesitation and spoke some more heartfelt words, inviting her to spend Christmas Eve together. He spoke softly, "We've been together for so long, but we've
Marisol felt greatly comforted. "Don't make me worry about you anymore, Anderson."…Anderson picked up Talia on Christmas Eve and comforted her in bed that night.Talia had a bad reputation.Although her family supported her. However, she had two kids. That meant she didn't have many options, truth be told. Anderson might’ve had a lot of flings out there, but he was garnering more respect at home than he had ever done. Although she had considered divorce, her parents advised her to think carefully before making a decision.After much consideration, she forgave her husband.Her black hair cascaded beautifully over his body as she nestled in and kissed her husband passionately once again, seeking pleasure from him.This time, she returned home.Her mother had told her that a man's love is measured by money and sex. Now, Shen Cishu provided generously for the household every month and bought her expensive jewelry. All she had to do was find ways to drain her husband dry, sexually
The private room fell silent. Anderson also looked over in this direction. Their eyes met, and Ayanna’s eyes glistened with tears. She couldn't believe that the man she loved would betray her and set up this scenario just to embarrass her. Her lips trembled uncontrollably.She wanted to ask ‘why’, but she didn’t do it. After all, asking him that would only humiliate herself. She took a step back and said softly, "Sorry, I entered the wrong room."The Gunderson family hesitated, uncertain of what to do next.On the other hand, Talia couldn’t sit still any longer. She had warned Ayanna just the day before. The latter said she would leave, but, apparently, she continued to entangle with her husband. Ayanna even dared to cause a scene in front of her, the rightful wife, with her parents present. Was Ayanna showing her that she’d take her husband away from her?"Ayanna," Talia called out, stopping her. She stood up and walked over to Ayanna, her expression was fierce because
Martha held Daphne in her arms. She came closer and closer until she saw Ayanna, who was lying on the ground.Her scream pierced the night sky. "Gosh! What are you doing, Ms. Ayanna?"What will happen to Daphne if you’re gone?"…Martha held Daphne in her arms. The baby was only a few months old, but she seemed to sense her mother's death and began to wail uncontrollably, her cries unceasing.Fearing that it would leave an emotional scar on the baby, Martha covered the infant’s eyes, preventing her from seeing her mother's tragic state.Ayanna was like a rose in full bloom against the dark of the night.Downstairs, chaos reigned.Before long, the police arrived, cordoning off the scene to prevent bystanders from contaminating it. Even Martha could only hold Daphne and watch her mistress from a distance.Martha was capable, but there was nothing she could do now. After all, she was a stranger in this place with no one to turn to.Wait a minute. There was Gwynn.Suddenly, sh
Before getting into the car, Anderson finally turned around and looked back.The police cars blocked most of his view, but he could still see Ayanna lying in a pool of blood through the dispersing crowd. She was lying on her back, looking incredibly peaceful, with no trace of bitterness.Ayanna...Ollie, who sat in the limousine, called out for his father to get in, saying that the dead person is the nasty lady.He paused for a moment before getting into the car.Once they got back to the Templeton Villa, Anderson felt an inexplicable unease. He felt a sense of satisfaction, but every time he closed his eyes, he saw the image of Ayanna’s death. Turning over, he wanted to embrace Talia, thinking that perhaps having sex would stop his mind from wandering.Talia ducked out of his reach.She kept a three-feet distance from her husband. Looking up at the dark ceiling, she said in a flat tone that she was tired.For the first time, she was afraid, finding her husband too ruthless.
Martha gently pressed her forehead against Daphne’s.Finally, she said, "I have to go now! Please take care of Daphne."Noah took the baby into his arms.He reassured the old nanny, "We’ll ensure she doesn’t suffer. She’s going to have a beautiful, happy childhood as well as future."Tears glimmered in Martha’s eyes, but she still turned and left.…Three days later, Noah went to Templeton Group to find Anderson. He wanted to tell the latter about the truth.It was Daphne's cord blood that saved his son's life, but Anderson repaid this kindness by leading Ayanna to her demise. He wanted to confront Anderson and question whether he was truly a man as well as the reason for tormenting a woman like this.After all, he was the one who sicced Ayanna on him.If Anderson wanted revenge, he should’ve taken it out on him, instead of Ayanna! What’s worse, she gave birth to his daughter.However, Anderson's secretary said that he wasn’t in the office and that he was out entertaining c
"I was too late!"I can't bring her back, but I can at least give you the beating you deserve."…Noah grabbed Anderson by the collar.He swung his fist and punched the latter over and over again, breaking his victim’s nose.With each punch, he hurled a vicious curse.By the end, both men were covered in blood, Noah's fists raw and bleeding, but he felt no pain. He just wanted Anderson to suffer. On top of that, he wanted him to wake up.Anderson lay sprawled on the carpet, gasping for breath, his body drenched in blood.Noah delivered a final brutal kick and spat. "You killed the woman who loved you from the bottom of her heart."Finally, his eyes reddened with emotion.His hands trembled as he took out a cigarette pack and lighter before lighting a cigarette. He no longer wanted to waste words on someone like Anderson. He left the latter a word before he walked away.He said he would be waiting for Anderson to come find him.The door to the private room opened and then sl
