Ella was still lying motionless on her bed when dawn came.Burying her face into Ella’s hands, Zoe murmured, “Wake up, Ella! No one’s going to be mean to you ever again. You can live a good life. There’s no need to worry about people finding out about your past and looking down on you! You can even have your own babies if you want.“Wake up, please? I beg you! Wake up and show me that my sacrifices are worth it!”Waiting endlessly without knowing if things would get better was a soul-crushing experience.It was morning when the doctor officially said the situation was looking bleak. If Ella didn’t wake up in the next four hours, then she might be in a persistent vegetative state and never wake up from it.She might never wake up…The thought of it was too much. Zoe felt immense pain in her heart and she was having trouble breathing. Dashing to the restroom, she held the sink as she dry-heaved, spitting bile. Then, she slumped onto the restroom floor.Curling up, she covered her

Leslie felt as if someone stabbed him in the heart.He kept holding her and tried to stop her from speaking or leaving him.He’d take any moment he could with her.…Ella roared, “I don’t need your stupid hotel.” She tore up the ownership transfer agreement. “Get the hell out!”Then, she said, “I don’t love you and you’re not even worth my hatred!”Leslie looked like a lost soul when he came out of her ward. His shirt was bloodied. It was a frightening sight.Nellie was standing right outside. She saw him coming out and sneered, “Missing the bitch again, aren’t you? You’re the one who made her who she is today, Leslie. If you hadn’t been so obsessed with her…”He slapped her across the face. Then, he choked her and pinned her to the wall. Nellie couldn’t breathe. Her face started turning purple and her arms thrashed about, trying to pull his arm off her neck. However, that didn’t stop her from speaking foolishly.“How is she better than me? I'm a Lynch, and she's nothing mor

Zoe turned her head to the side, “Aren’t you going to hop in the shower?”Lowering his head, he kissed her for a spell before getting out of bed and into the shower. His smile faded when he opened the bathroom door. The fact was, it was easiest to tell if a lady loved her husband when they had sex.Zoe might’ve felt a lot of pleasure, but she wouldn’t let herself enjoy the sex. She was suppressing herself. She’d rather clutch the bedsheets, instead of moaning out loud when things got heated. In the past, she’d wrap her arm around his neck and moaned his name.A few minutes later, he was done with the shower and came out of the bathroom. Zoe had already gotten up. She wore a silk nightgown and her long black hair cascaded down her back, giving her a vibe that was both innocent and seductive.Standing by the window, she stared off into space. Steam covered the window and she was drawing on it absentmindedly with her lean fingers. It wasn’t anything recognizable, but he could just

Ella responded with a smile, “Go ahead.”…Mason was at the central court of Skyline Galleria. He stood by a window, smoking in silence. He put some serious thought into his outfits today. Donned in a white shirt, he wore a bespoke grey suit over it. However, he looked so lonely when he smoked!He had been here for half an hour. He saw two rows of flower stands and one of them stood out. Calla lilies. It was no easy feat finding them in this season. He glanced at the sender's card. It was Cecil!Zoe probably loved it. That was why she put it in the center. On the other hand, he had bought eight flower stands for her, but they were put aside. Apparently, she didn’t love them.…That was why Mason didn’t go into her dessert spot. A thought came over him when he was smoking. She didn’t even want to say what he wanted to hear last night. Was it because she loved someone else? That could explain why she wasn’t able to tell him that she loved him.Zoe found Mason and saw him all b

However, she shed her tears for another man. Leaning back on his seat lightly, he lowered his gaze and smirked at himself. He was feeling quite good about himself for the whole day while his wife was disheartened because she couldn’t be with another man! It’d always be her biggest regret not ending up together with Cecil.She didn’t love him because she had given her heart to Cecil. Her heart was already taken. That was why she didn’t have room for him.He could honestly say that he had been nothing but good to her recently!He knew she liked to be treated gently and that was what he did. He had never forced himself on her ever since they were remarried. He dared say that both of them wanted it when they had sex every time! If she was even slightly uncomfortable with it, he’d hold himself back.He was trying to pleasure her and make her feel happy. He was trying to be there for her! However, it turned out that he was merely patting himself on the back because none of it mattered
