When the media asked why she didn't bring her husband,
She sneered mockingly:

Chapter 1
When my wife, Nancy Davis, took me to see her lover's art exhibition, we were attacked by her enemy.
I took the bullets for her and injured my leg, facing the risk of amputation.
Yet Nancy was out flaunting herself with her lover, Lawrence Parker, at a banquet.
When the media asked why she didn't bring her husband, Nancy looked mocking.
"He became a cripple after his leg injury. It would be too embarrassing to bring him out."
That one sentence made me the biggest joke in Emerald City.
#Daniel Hernandez Rejected for Being Crippled, Publicly Called Useless by His Wife#
Looking at the harsh headline on TV, I gritted my teeth and threw the remote at the screen, then smashed the soup bowl on the table to the floor. Broken pieces scattered everywhere - this was the only way I could vent.
After taking a deep breath, I dialed a Silverlight City phone number.
"Jack, I'm leaving Emerald City next month. I'm going back to the family!"
"Mr. Hernandez! You've finally come around! I'll tell the boss this good news right away."
"Thanks. Before I return, make sure not to alert the media."
The door was pushed open by a bodyguard. Nancy walked in holding a bouquet of tulips and sat down by my bed with a smile.
"What are you planning? And why can't you alert the media?"
I stared blankly at the white tulips in her hand, feeling bitter.
"Have I ever told you that I hate tulips?"
Nancy raised her eyebrows and was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly burst out laughing as if she had just realized something.
"Don't be so dramatic. Answer my question."
I laughed bitterly and turned my head away.
"Do you really need to know everything?"
Nancy leaned in closer.
Her warm, fragrant breath sprayed on my neck.
"Still sulking?"
Then she turned around and picked up a broken bowl piece from the floor, playing with it in her hand.
Seeing my silence, her tone instantly turned cold:
"About the banquet, I know you're upset, but you're a cripple - bringing you out would really hurt my image."
"I'll make it up to you, but don't you dare get any ideas about Lawrence, or else... I have plenty of ways to make your life hell!"
I trembled and shouted:
"Hurt your image? Nancy, who made me a cripple? Anyone can mock me, but you have no right!"
Nancy sneered at my agitation:
"Daniel, you chose to take those bullets for me. I didn't force you to do it."
"Don't act like everyone owes you something. It's disgusting!"
Nancy's words were like a bucket of ice water poured over my head.
All my anger and resentment completely died out.
I couldn't help but think sarcastically, 'I'd already decided to give up on her completely and return to my family, so why bother with all this?/
I took a deep breath and said calmly, "Got it."
Then I closed my eyes, signaling Nancy to leave.
Nancy ignored my dismissal and walked straight to the bed, gesturing at my face with the broken piece.
"Daniel, I like obedient men. As long as you behave, I won't look down on you."
Then she had someone bring a new bowl of soup.
She scooped up a spoonful and brought it directly to my mouth.
The atmosphere was tense.
Just as Nancy was losing patience, I numbly opened my mouth.
Swallowing it along with my twenty years of feelings for Nancy.
Hot. So hot it blistered my mouth.
The scalding soup flowed down my throat, bringing a burning pain.
I ate the entire bowl like I was punishing myself.
Nancy finally showed a genuine smile:
"You really are the most obedient."
"I've hired the best specialist to operate on you. Get well and come home soon."
With that, she lifted my chin and gave me a casual kiss, then left the room humming a tune.
The door closed.
I immediately threw up everything I'd just eaten.
The day we were attacked, I took thirteen bullets protecting her.
The doctor said if they'd gotten to me ten minutes earlier, my leg might not have been disabled, and there would be no risk of amputation.
But what happened then?
Lawrence got scratched by a stray bullet - just broke some skin.
Nancy felt so bad for him that she let Lawrence take the first ambulance that arrived.
Because the road near the exhibition was damaged, the next ambulance didn't arrive for nearly twenty minutes.
Thinking about this, I desperately wiped the spot where Nancy had just kissed me.
Tomorrow morning would be my last surgery, which would determine whether my left leg needs to be amputated.
I pulled myself together and sent Jack a message, asking him to check out the background of the doctor Nancy hired.
If there was a problem, please help me switch doctors urgently.
That evening, Nancy and Lawrence appeared in the media headlines again.
#Wealthy Queen Spends Tens of Millions of Dollars on Wedding with Artist Husband#
Nancy actually spent 20 million dollars to buy Lawrence's painting as a gesture to invite him to join the company.
Inviting someone who plays with paintbrushes to a high-level position at a logistics company.
Ridiculous.
I couldn't help but laugh coldly.
The hospital attendant who came to clean up looked at me like this and said with contempt:
"So you're Ms. Davis's useless husband. Your wife is fooling around with her lover, and you're here laughing like an idiot."
"If I were you, I'd have slit my wrists and killed myself already, to save myself the embarrassment."

Cassandra jumped. Two Palace servants had entered the room just when she finished dressing.
"You wrench! Who is your master? Speak!"
"Lord... Lord the Third... Third Prince..." She stuttered despite the pain.
" You liar! Do you think we are stupid? The Third Prince doesn't bring any attendants! You lying whore! Show us your identification!"

I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known.

The CEO's Midnight Remedy
My name is Aria Harper, and I just caught my fiancé Ethan screwing my stepsister Scarlett in our bed. While my world crumbled, they were planning to steal everything—my inheritance, my mother's legacy, even the company that should be mine.
But I'm not the naive girl they think I am.
Enter Devon Kane—eleven years older, dangerously powerful, and exactly the weapon I need. One month. One secret deal. Use his influence to save my company while I uncover the truth about my mother Elizabeth's "death" and the fortune they stole from me.
The plan was simple: fake my engagement, seduce information from my enemies, and walk away clean.

In daylight, he's a master of indifference—his gaze sliding past me like I don't exist. But when darkness falls, he's pushing up my lace dress, his hands claiming my breasts through the sheer material, his mouth finding the small mole on my collarbone.
"That's it," he breathes against my skin, voice strained and gravelly. "God, you feel amazing."
Now the lines are blurred, the stakes are higher, and everyone who betrayed me is about to learn what happens when you underestimate Aria Harper.
Revenge never felt so good.
The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...
Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.
Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...
