Molly's marriage with Eric was not made out of love-it was merely an arrangement. It all stemmed from her beauty that held an uncanny resemblance to his late sister. He never gave much thought to her until she found out that she was seducing his brother. Enraged, he made it a point to make her everyday life miserable. However, something he was not prepared for happened-he fell head over heels in love with her. The once domineering CEO became vulnerable, dedicating his time to adoring her, spoiling her, and loving her.
There were noises coming from the locker room and a girl was trying to wiggle out of a man's arms.
"Brother, please don't do this..."
Molly Xu struggled desperately to ease out of his grip.
Eric Xiao looked at her coldly and strangled her. "Who are you calling your brother? My mother was angry with you, and now, she is in a vegetative state because of you. How dare you call me your brother?"
"No, it's not like that. I didn't mean to hurt Aunt Melissa!" Molly Xu cried, shaking her head.
He looked at her and said in a cold voice, "Molly, the evidence is right in front of our eyes, yet you still don't admit it. You're a disgusting woman!"
"No, you have to trust me, I was wronged!"
The more she tried to explain, the angrier he became. "How dare you deny it? So many people have seen the evidence, and no one thinks you're innocent. How desperate are you?"
Her heart ached when she heard that. She wanted to say more, but it was too painful for her to speak.
Eric hadn't expected her to seem so devastated. He looked at her and asked cruelly, "When did you start trying to seduce my uncle?"
Molly Xu stayed with Eric Xiao's family for a year because of her work. During that time, she had to share the room with Darrow Chen. Everyone thought that they were sleeping together, but they weren't.
"Eric, I didn't do anything to hurt anyone!" Molly Xu cried out as she grabbed his shoulder and burst into tears.
Eric Xiao sneered at her and said, "Don't try to justify yourself. My mother has been so good to you, but you've hurt her. I am going to make you pay for what you did!"
After saying that, he began to thrust deeper and deeper into her, making her feel the unspeakable pain.
She was deeply upset. When she first came to live with the Xiao family, they treated her like one of their own. She even felt the warmth in a family, as she only had one parent. She cherished the family very much. But now, the family's affection was replaced by immense hatred, and she couldn't help but feel as though the earth under her feet was falling apart.
The man who once doted her, now thought of her as the woman tried to kill his mother. How could she ever get past that mess?
Eric Xiao asked, "What will Darrow do if he comes to know that I fucked you?"
Molly Xu closed her eyes tightly and frowned. "No, please, don't tell him," she begged.
She shook her head and couldn't speak another word.
After he fucked her, he put his clothes on. He then choked her, and warned, "Remember this, you can't refuse, for as long as I want to fuck you. If you disobey me, you know what will happen, right?"
Her face paled and she was almost on the verge of saying "No." But then, Eric smiled and pointed to the camera, which was still recording. "You'd better be obedient," he said.
Her head started to spin. He had recorded everything and if she did anything that annoys him, he would release the tape for the whole world to see. Her reputation would be tarnished and she would be ruined!
She looked at his face and wondered, 'When did he become so cold and ruthless? He used to love me, but now he's being a monster. This isn't the Eric that I knew.'
His lean, muscular body disappeared through the door as he walked of the locker room. He then shut the door behind her, leaving her alone inside the room. She stared at her reflection in the mirror, saw her tattered clothes, her smudged makeup, and couldn't help but cry.
Everything was ruined and her happiness could never be returned.
A few minutes later, she heard someone knocking on the door. "Molly, are you ready yet? The Internet streaming will start in ten minutes."
Upon hearing that, Molly Xu came to her senses and straightened herself up. She put her clothes on and said, "Just a moment, please. I'll be ready!"
Molly Xu was a food reviewer, who would eat on live shows. She worked for Eric Xiao's company, which was a network of television channels. At first, she used to stay in the office, but later, his mother met her, and she poured her heart out to her. Molly then knew that Eric had a sister, who passed away due to an illness. Molly looked quite similar to her, so Eric's mother liked her a lot, and the two of them became fast friends.
Soon, Molly Xu moved in with them. All the food which she ate during Internet streaming was prepared by Eric's mom. In order to make their mother happy, Eric Xiao and Edward Xiao started accepting Molly as their own sister.
However, everyone hated her now. In fact, Eric Xiao had once strangled her and said, "If it weren't for your face, I'd have killed you!"
Molly Xu sighed as she thought of that day.
She put on her makeup, faked a smile and stepped out of the room.
Melissa Shen was now in the ICU. Half of what Molly Xu ate now was take-out food and the rest was cooked by the caretaker, who wasn't nearly half as good as Melissa Shen in cooking. As Molly Xu ate, she thought of that and it made her sad.
During the Internet streaming, someone began to call Molly's names. She ignored that and continued to eat, while talking about interesting things.
As time passed, more curses popped up on the screen, and so did the gifts. One person asked how many gifts he had to send her before she would agree to sleep with him.
When Molly Xu looked at those hurtful words, she almost wanted to end the Internet streaming, but she thought about her situation and felt like she had no choice but to go on. Even the food in front of her tasted so terrible. She nearly spat it out so many times before she swallowed.
"Molly Xu, you bitch! How dare you seduce my husband?! I'll rip you into shreds!"
When the Internet streaming was almost finished, Eric's aunt, Helen Qian, came rushing. She lunged at Molly Xu, grabbed her by her hair and slapped her twice. Before Molly could react, the chocolate in her throat choked her, making it unable for her to breathe.
Helen Qian suddenly snatched the Internet streaming phone and shouted to all those people who were watching, "This bitch is so shameless that she deceived our family. We thought of her as one of our own. She seduced my husband! Don't believe her innocent-looking face, she's pure evil!"
In her previous life, Kimberly endured the betrayal of her husband, the cruel machinations of an evil woman, and the endless tyranny of her in-laws. It culminated in the bankruptcy of her family, and ultimately, her death. After being reborn, she resolved to seek retribution against those who had wronged her, and ensure her family's prosperity. To her shock, the most unattainable man from her past suddenly set his sights on her. "You may have overlooked me before, but I shall capture your heart this time around."

Looking at the divorce papers my lips curled up into a mocking smile. 'How big fool I am? How can I think that he will give a chance to this marriage? How can I forget that I was nothing more a tool in his eyes to vent his anger until his beloved Tara is back. Since, she was back, how can he let me stay there?' "After you will sign these papers, you will receive 100 million dollars as alimony." the lawyer added. Because of his words, I came back to my senses took the pen from him, and signed the name. I have also gotten exhausted from this marriage both physically and mentally. Even though I had wanted my child to be born into a complete family, I didn't want my child to have a stepmother and live miserably like me for the rest of his life. After taking the papers from my hand, the lawyer gave me the bank card, turned around, and was about to leave when he paused at the door. He then turned around and added, "Mr. Carter said that he hoped that you won't pester him, or you have to bear the consequences." The lawyer's words were like a knife stabbing in my heart, but I still nodded. Anyway, I also don't plan to have anything to do with him anymore. I just want to live a good life with my children. After the lawyer left, the ward fell into silence. I placed my hand on my belly and said to my children, "Baby, I am sorry, Mommy can't give you a complete family! But I promise you, I will do my best to give the love of both mother and father." 'As for giving one of my child, I will never do that. They are my babies and my alone. I and I will give birth to all of them and raise them no matter what.' Four Years Later... Anya came back to the country with her three kids, to inherit the company left by his grandfather...
