The Woman From Hell

He suddenly let go, and I was free again. I did not open my eyes and just laid there on the couch like a

dead fish.

After a long while, he took me in his arms and held me close. Leaning against his chest, I could clearly

feel the beating of his heart. Thump, thump, thump. It was strong

“How much longer do you want to pretend?” His deep, magnetic voice reached my ears.

He raised his hand and pinched my cheek, but I still did not move.

“How could you in your right mind decide to end the life of the child? Are you not ashamed?” The tone

of his voice was a little low, but it was

obviously not as angry as before.

My heart skipped a beat. My eyelashes fluttered, but I still did not open my eyes.

With a barely audible sigh, he carried m

e and gently placed me on the bed.

There was an unusual emotion in me. For the first time in three years, Theo held me so tenderly.

I thought he would leave, but he still stayed in the room. He even called Mason over to check on me.

Come to think of it, it was not easy to be Mason. Coming from a lineage of doctors, he had almost

become Theo’s personal doctor. He was always instructed to treat all kinds of matters.

I was so tired that I ended up falling asleep.

In my daze, I could vaguely hear

Mason’s voice. “Since you cannot make both happen, you will have to give up one of them.”

Theo did not seem to want to hear this and said impatiently, “I know how to handle this…”

I was too sleepy to continue hearing what they were saying after that.

That night, I did not sleep very well. I kept feeling as if someone was hugging me tightly. I tried very

hard to open my eyes, but my eyelids were as heavy as stone. I just could not wake up.

The next day, when I opened my eyes again, it was already late morning Theo was no longer in the

villa. I guessed that he was either at work or went to see Cindy. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

The divorce papers on the sofa last night were no longer there.

Initially, I had wanted to settle the

divorce procedures today. Since Theo was not around, I could not do anything except give up.

After washing up, I went to the company. I still had a lot on my plate, and I would need to slowly clear

my work as well. This way, when I left, I would be completely free.

The other jobs were basically on track, and the most crucial task at the moment was to select an

ambassador. The product launch was just around the corner. Theo had assigned me this task, so I had

to do my best.

This would be the perfect ending.

Looking through the list of models on m y table, none of them caught my eye. I could not help but feel

annoyed. I ran m y fingers through my hair in frustration.

“I have always known that a woman ini the middle of a bath would be quite the view. I did not expect a

woman to also b

e so sexy when she was playing with her hair.” A teasing voice could be heard suddenly.

I looked up and asked listlessly, “What are you doing here instead of filming?

The newcomer was called Xander Nietzsche. He was the first young male actor whom I had made

famous ever since I took over Nectarine Entertainment. 2

“Why does a boss as cruel as you exist? All you know is to work your employees to death. I have not

rested for a month.O Xander half sat on my table, twirling with my fountain pen from my table.

“Do you really treat me like your boss?” I glared at him and continued to read the information in my

hands.

“Do I not? I just showed up when I knew you were in trouble. Do I not look a lot like your knight in

shining armor?” He

leaned closer to me as he fluttered his gorgeous eyes.

He was a charming fellow. Xander was famous not only for his acting but also for his appearance. He

looked gorgeous when he smiled. He was really pleasing t o the eyes and had the looks to die for.

“What good is your presence here? I am looking for an ambassador for jewelry. A model.” I leaned my

head back against my chair and sighed, closing m y eyes in frustration “Who said that a jewelry

ambassador needs to be a woman?”
