2024-10-29 19:42:56In the luxurious Presidential Suite of the Sunrise Heritage Resort, James 's anger was palpable as he pointed to Ray's face on the monitor screen. "Who is this useless matrilocal son-in-law of the Peters?" he bellowed.
The plump hotel manager repeatedly bowed and confirmed, "He is Ray Garcia, Sarah's husband. He's the one who stole your bathrobe. The surveillance footage leaves no room for doubt."
James was incensed. The Peters were playing a dangerous game by crossing him, and he couldn't believe that Sarah would stoop so low as to involve her husband in humiliating him. He was determined to crush them all.
Shooing away the manager, James immediately made a phone call and had the post of him running around naked and causing a commotion in the lobby deleted. In exchange, the hotel offered a week of free stay to the elderly tourists and promised to remove any evidence of the incident to protect their reputation.
But James wasn't satisfied with just that. He called the patriarch of the Peters family and threatened to use all his power to destroy their business if they didn't apologize to him within 24 hours. The Peters would have to beg on the streets if they didn't comply.
Meanwhile, in Noah's home, Sarah and Ray retreated to the bedroom. Despite Noah's initial attempt to drive him out, he couldn't bear to leave Sarah alone and scared. Seeing her distress, Noah decided to let him stay.
After shutting the door out of old habit, Ray reached for a quilt to sleep on the floor, but Sarah stopped him with a dismissive wave. "Never mind that. Get in bed," she said with a sly grin. "If Noahsees you sleeping on the floor, she'll mock you again."
Ray couldn't help but be drawn in by Sarah's alluring figure and shoulder-length hair. Was she implying that they could finally consummate their marriage tonight? After three years of waiting, he could finally embrace his role as a husband and say goodbye to his virginity. He couldn't wait any longer and climbed into bed eagerly.
To his dismay, as soon as they lay down side by side, Sarah placed a blanket between them and issued a chilling warning. "Letting you sleep in the bed is my way of saying thank you. One wrong move and I'll cut it off!" Ray was taken aback and quickly deflated. Had he misinterpreted her intentions all along?
Disappointed and silent, Ray lay there for what felt like an eternity. Finally, Sarah turned to face him and asked a question that caught him off guard. "Since you followed me into the hotel, why did you hide?" Ray hesitated before answering honestly, "I just wanted to know if you would go in."
Sarah was taken aback by his honesty and sneered, "You're honest and feckless. I didn't expect that from you. You planned to turn around and leave if I went in, didn't you?" Ray was caught off guard and scrambled to think of a response. He decided to turn the tables and ask her a question in return, one that she couldn't evade.
He spoke with feigned composure, "So, why did you hesitate at the door? What was going through your mind?" Sarah closed her eyes in pain before responding, "If I tell you, promise me you won't laugh at me. I started regretting it the moment I left home. There were moments during my drive when I wanted to turn back, but I couldn't bear the thought of my mother being sent to prison." Sarah let out a helpless sigh. "When James opened the door, he kept leering at me, and that's when it dawned on me that I couldn't sacrifice my dignity to be a good daughter.
I would do anything for my family, but I can't bear the thought of sleeping with someone like that." Ray gave her a thumbs-up inside, convinced that she was the woman he loved and entirely in agreement with her views. After that, there was silence in the room, but the air was charged with temptation. Suddenly, Sarah's phone rang. She checked the screen and saw that it was a message from Sophia. The message had been sent eight times, with an urgent tone asking where she was. Without much thought, she replied, "I'm fine. I'm at Noah's." She turned off her phone and fell asleep. As time passed, night deepened. It was the first time Ray and Sarah had shared a bed in their three years of marriage. Even though there was a blanket between them, Ray felt contented as he drifted off to sleep, inhaling her faint scent and even drooling. Little did he know that several off-road vehicles were on their way downstairs, and the people inside them intended to harm his wife.

As Sophia pounded on the door, Noahgroggily woke up to the loud noise. "Who could be knocking at this ungodly hour?" she grumbled, rubbing her messy hair in frustration. When she opened the door, she was taken aback by the sight before her. Was this some kind of gangster movie? Behind Sophia stood a group of over 20 young men from the Peters family, some holding staffs, others wielding knives or expandable batons. Tristan Peters, Sarah's cousin, pushed his way past Noahand barked out orders. "Move aside! We're here for Sarah and Ray!" The commotion roused the sleeping couple, who stumbled out of the bedroom only to be surrounded by the menacing group of men. As the tension in the room escalated, Sarah turned to her sister, her chest heaving with anger. "How could you betray me like this, Sophia? You're my sister!" Sophia's lip curled as she snorted in response. "You didn't help Mom, and your useless man caused trouble with Mr. Cole from Oscorp Corporation . He even took Mr. Cole's b

In James 's apartment at Prosperity Apartments, Ray and Sarah stood together in the living room. They had come to apologize, at Monica's request, for their previous offensive behavior towards Mr. Cole. Monica humbly bowed and asked for forgiveness on their behalf, offering to accept any punishment deemed appropriate. James sat on the sofa, his expression grim as he listened to Monica's plea. "I am a respectable businessman," he replied, his tone flat. "I would never suggest anything illegal. However, if you want my forgiveness for the Peters family, there is a way." He glanced over at Ray with disdain. "If this man enjoys exposing himself so much, then I will forgive you if he runs naked from Glory Avenue to Nationality Avenue in three days' time. It's a 3-mile stretch, and I'll make sure the media captures the entire event. If he fails to show up, then the Peters Realty will suffer the consequences." Monica's heart sank, and she looked over at Ray with concern. "How exactly do you

This evening, Sarah made an atypical appearance at dinner, descending the stairs alongside her partner Ray. Among the guests were her cousin Alice and her husband, who held a prestigious position as the director of the Department of Planning and Development (DPD). Almost immediately, the other guests, all Peters, rushed to flatter and curry favor with the high-ranking guest - all except for Ray and his wife, Monica. Alice, with her husband in tow, took a seat and sneered at the couple. "Look at them, so arrogant. Isn't this our favorite running duo?" Sarah shot her cousin a sharp glance before turning her attention to her phone. Ignored, Alice grew increasingly hostile. "What are you so proud of? Let's see how tough you are after running three miles in a bikini tomorrow!" Ray, however, wasn't having it. He looked at Alice and shook his head, "Lori always looks beautiful, no matter what she wears - unlike you. If you stood naked next to your husband, it would only remind us of some ca

Tristan's eyes widened in surprise as he flashed Ryan a rapid series of blinks. With a resounding clatter, his fork hit the plate as he shot Ryan a thumbs up. "My oh my, you're quite the wordsmith! Impressive insult, my friend!" Ryan's smirk twisted into a sneer as he corrected him, "You misunderstand me. He's not worth my time or effort to insult. I'm simply stating a fact." Sarah could feel her blood boil at Ryan's callous words. With a surge of rage, she snatched the soup bowl from Ray's hand and confronted him with tears streaming down her face. "Are you a fool? How can you still have an appetite for soup? Don't you hear how they're mocking you?" Ray let out a burp before responding with indifference, "Why should I care? Would you get mad if some ants started shouting at you? If they're bothering you, just step on them." Sarah was stunned by Ray's nonchalance. Over the past three years of their marriage, she had grown accustomed to the insults aimed at him. As long as they di

The next morning, in a small advertising company situated in the bustling metropolis of Austria, the Operations Director, Cadman Hunter, lashed out at his salesmen, his voice ringing with frustration. He berated them for their inability to secure the invitations for Mr. Garcia's welcome party and their failure to acquire any of the billboards along the running route of Ray and Sarah. The salesmen, their heads hung low in silence, listened intently, except for the Sales Manager, David, who attempted to speak but found himself unable to utter a word. "Speak up, David," Cadman snapped, impatiently. David managed a bitter smile, before finally mustering up the courage to explain, "Boss, you have no idea of the scale of this event. If Ray were to run alone, it would not have caused such a citywide sensation. But Sarah is joining him. She's stunning, from a wealthy family, and you can only imagine how explosive the news is. All the billboards along the route have been sold, and the stores

Ray's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Sarah, who was curled up on the floor and wailing in despair. "What's going on? Strangle you?" he asked, bewildered. Sarah's sobs only intensified as she explained her predicament. "I can't bear the thought of being humiliated like that. I want to end my life now." Ray felt his heart race as he tried to comfort her, promising her multiple times that he wouldn't let her suffer that humiliation. However, Sarah's trust had been broken too many times, and she remained skeptical of his assurances. As the tension mounted, Ray's phone buzzed, and he read Eli's text message with a sense of relief. With the Peters out of commission, Ray knew that he could take action to protect Sarah. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her up, determined to show her that she had nothing to fear. Despite the gravity of the situation, Ray chuckled at Sarah's playful punches as they made their way out of the room. He couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction a

As Ray reached out to touch her, Sarah deftly dodged his hand and followed his pointing finger to where Ryan and Alice were already walking towards the building's entrance. This was no ordinary gathering; the welcome party was a high-profile event organized by the influential Garcia family, whose power extended throughout the country. In attendance were not only local government officials but also high-ranking officials from Capiton who had traveled all the way to Austria for the occasion. The level of security was correspondingly high, with heavily armed police guarding the premises and state-of-the-art scanning machines verifying the guests' identities.As Ryan and Alice approached the machine, the captain of the security team halted them and demanded, "Your ID, please?" Ryan acquiesced with a nod, and produced both his and Alice's IDs which he handed over to the captain.Alice swiftly turned her head towards Sarah and Ray, shooting them a dirty look while raising her eyebrows, appe

Tristan froze, looking desperately at Alice and Ryan for help.The couple was so frustrated that it was as if their family had just died.Unable to turn a blind eye to Tristan, Ryan said, "Tristan is the leader of the Peters Corporation . It would hurt his reputation and the company's image."Sophia sneered, "Urgh! My dad just begged you and wanted to apologize on behalf of Sarah .

Sternly, Sarah snapped, "Get the hell out of here! Didn't I tell you to stay home? Why did you have to come? Do you think this is not humiliating enough?"Ray grinned, "I was the one that encouraged you to take the bet. How can I let you deal with this alone? As your husband, I had to come."Sarah Frowned. "Stop saying you are my husband. I haven't admitted it. Get lost! This has nothing to do with you."Still wearing a grin, Ray shook his head. "Kneeling is fun. How can I miss it? I'm not going!"Furious, Sarah wanted to smash her head against a wall. She must have been blind to take this dimwit as a husband. She had asked him to stay home to spare him the humiliation. In the end, he insisted on coming along and suffering the humiliation with her.Before she said anything else, Tristan came over, grabbed Keenan's arm as if he was afraid Ray would run away, and laughed, "Good for you, Keenan!

In the Peters's, he living room was packed with people. The seats were arranged as usual. On the sofa was the white-haired Monica.The only difference about this meeting was that next to her, besides Alice and Ryan, there were also three young policemen in uniform and a middle-aged man in gold-rimmed glasses.As soon as Sarah and her family walked in, Tristan rose and began introducing the outsiders to them."Let me introduce you to each other.These are the police officers from the police station whose jurisdiction the Peters Realty is in. This is Director Blount."Seeing that Sarah and her family were all silent, Tristan got even cockier.Pointing at the middle-aged man in gold-rimmed glasses, he continued,"This is Mr. Dower, a barrister adept at handling financial disputes.

It's just a bet.They can't call the police or have you arrested anyway."Sarah shook her head. "No. Since I didn't die yesterday, it means even God thinks I should apologize to Ryan."Ray didn't understand. "Why run? I told you I would handle this. Do my words mean nothing to you?

Humans always like to explore the unknown. Without curiosity, modern science wouldn't have made so much progress; penicillin wouldn't have been discovered, and rockets wouldn't have been built or sent into space.Ray was no exception.

What the hell?Ray finally knew why her underwear tasted salty.The girl sitting on his face also realized what was going on. She screamed and jumped up, blushing.The pretty girl from the dancing school, who was about five foot eight, clenched her legs and covered her skirt with her hands."He ... he bit me!
