While she was dreaming of marrying him, he forced her away to another country for the sake of another woman, even promising to marry the other woman. When their paths crossed once more, she aimed to maintain her distance from him, yet he ensnared her within his web of affection. Later on, in an interview involving both, she was prompted to commend her husband. "Besides being pushy and shameless, it appears he lacks any redeeming qualities," she remarked, turning towards the man next to her to query, "What do you think?" The audience was aghast, wishing they could vanish instantly. Unexpectedly, the CEO, known for his stern and icy demeanor, remained serene and offered a gentle smile, responding, "Everything my wife said is right."
It was agonizing.
Daniela Pearson felt as if a car had run her over, pain radiating through her entire body.
When her eyes fluttered open, a good-looking face was right in front of her.
She was stunned.
Why was Kevin Bradley here?
Daniela was horrified to realize that after being drugged the previous night, she had ended up in Kevin's room and...
As she looked at Kevin, once the object of her deepest affections and now her worst nightmare, memories of the past three years flooded back.
Three years ago, for his sweetheart's sake, Kevin threatened her with her brother and mother, forcing her to move overseas.
Her brother had disappeared in the process of looking for her.
Three years passed; her mother's health, already frail from a car accident, had worsened, compelling her to return to the place she detested.
Yet, Daniela hadn't anticipated that within days of her return, she would find herself in bed again with Kevin, the man who had haunted her thoughts all these years.
Her feelings towards Kevin were now tinged more with fear than hate.
If he woke up and found her naked in his embrace...
Fearful of what might follow, Daniela's first instinct was to run away.
She attempted to free herself from Kevin's arms carefully.
However, the moment she moved a little, Kevin's eyes snapped open. He grabbed her neck and pinned her beneath him.
He looked down at her with a ruthless expression, filled with undisguised sarcasm and disgust.
"Daniela, you just couldn't wait to sleep with me, could you?"
Sleep with him?
She hadn't even planned to see him upon her return, much less this.
Daniela met Kevin's gaze and retorted with a forced smile, "Mr. Bradley, I came to the hotel with my fiance yesterday, but now here I am with you. If anything, I'm the one being taken advantage of. I haven't even confronted you about it. Why the anger?"
Indeed, she and her fiance, whom her father had arranged for her, had checked into the hotel together. Her father and her sister, Katherine Pearson, had drugged her in a ploy to force them into having sex.
Daniela mused bitterly about how Katherine would react if she knew her scheme had thrown her most despised sibling into her fiance's bed.
"Don't play games. Keep your dirty thoughts to yourself," Kevin warned.
Daniela's thoughts were interrupted.
Kevin leaned in, his breath warm on her face, but his words sent a shiver down her spine. "Katherine and I are going to be married soon. If you dare tell her anything about us, I will kill you."
How absurd!
Why would she bring Katherine into this now? Did he really think she wanted to force him into loving her again, hoping for even a shred of affection like before?
Well, what a stupid idea she used to have.
Daniela felt a sting of bitterness but managed a smile. To provoke Kevin, she put on a confused expression and asked, "What do you mean by 'anything about us'? Are you referring to three years ago when Katherine was in the hospital, and we were secretly together? Or last night, when I just returned from abroad and you couldn't wait to sleep with me?"
"Daniela Pearson!"
Kevin's grip on Daniela's neck tightened, and her smile vanished. As she struggled for air, her face flushed red. In a frantic attempt, she tried to pry his hand off.
Seeing the fear in her eyes, Kevin scoffed, "Do you think I'd have any trouble getting rid of you? Or someone would avenge you after I strangled you and left you in the street?"
Yes, Kevin was capable of that.
The Bradley family was a globally recognized financial dynasty, owning banks in major cities around the world. They had established a bank network that spread all over the world and wielded immense power and wealth.
As the new leader of the family business, Kevin was known for his ruthless demeanor.
If he killed her, no one would intervene.
Her family couldn't help-her brother was missing, and her mother was seriously ill.
Daniela frantically slapped at Kevin's hand, convinced he would go through with it for Katherine.
Desperate, she kicked him sharply between the legs.
The pain made Kevin release his grip, and Daniela quickly escaped the bed.
Clutching her neck, she coughed violently and gasped for air.
Seeing Kevin's grim expression, she realized the gravity of her actions and felt a surge of fear.
But in the end, Kevin just spat, "Get out."
Daniela didn't hesitate. Wincing from the pain, she stooped to gather her dirty clothes, her body marked with red bruises. She dressed slowly, then straightened up and walked out.
Once the door closed behind her, Daniela burst into tears.
She had cried for Kevin for years. Though she thought she was over him, the tears still came.
It was unfortunate. After all their history, here they were again, and still, she had nothing.
Daniela headed to the bathroom to clean up and carefully washed her face. Once sure there were no signs of her tears, she prepared to go home.
If not for her mother, she would have never come back. She would have stayed far from those disgusting people.
Daniela went downstairs. When she just arrived at the roadside, her phone rang. It was Katherine.
"Daniela, something's happened to your mother. If you want her to be okay, come to my birthday party now!"
Three years ago, Cecilia was left battered and alone by the man she loved most, Alston, yet she bravely completed the wedding ceremony while pregnant. Three years later, although they were married, they grew apart over time. Cecilia focused on her career, no longer foolishly believing in love. But her transformation instantly threw Alston into a panic... And what is the secret from 11 years ago that Cecilia has always been reluctant to reveal? *** "She went to a law firm, met with a lawyer..." A lawyer? Is Cecilia suing someone? Who? Is there any recent litigation against the company? Alston suddenly chuckled coldly, "Who could she sue? I'm the CEO of this company. How come such a matter doesn't come to me first?" The assistant swallowed nervously, speaking softly, "Sir, there's no litigation against the company. She met with... a divorce lawyer."
My family was on the poverty line and had no way to support me in college. I had to work part-time every day just to make ends meet and afford to get into the university. That was when I met her—the pretty girl in my class that every boy dreamt of asking out. I was well aware she was out of my league. Nevertheless, I mustered all my courage and bravely told her that I had fallen for her. To my surprise, she agreed to be my girlfriend. With the sweetest smile I had ever seen, she told me that she wanted my first gift for her to be the latest and top-of-the-line iPhone. I worked like a dog and even did my classmates’ laundry to save up. My hard work eventually paid off after a month. I finally got to buy what she wanted. But as I was wrapping my gift, I saw her in the dressing room, making out with the captain of the basketball team. She then heartlessly made fun of my inadequacy and made a fool out of me.

Desperation washed over me, but there was nothing I could do but lie on the floor as they trampled on my feelings. But then, my father called me out of the blue, and my life turned upside down. It turned out that I was a billionaire's son.
