“Nathan, you once promised to marry me.
“Now Hannah’s gone, I heard she’s marrying someone else.
“Can’t we… can’t we try? You used to like me so much.”
She cried pitifully.
Nathan stared at her, then said strangely. “Smile for me.”
“What?”
She didn’t understand.
Nathan had little patience. “I said smile. Have you forgotten how?”
Nina felt a chill down her spine and forced an ugly smile worse than her crying.
Nathan stared at her for a long time.
Desperately trying to find traces of someone else in her face.
In a moment of madness, he heard himself say, “Fine, let’s try being together.”
“Really?”
This time Nina’s smile was genuine.
Nathan’s gaze softened slightly. “Of course.”
Then he suddenly turned off the lights.
In the moonlight, he pushed Nina down, unleashing his fury!
During t
their business trips, they’d almost crossed the line several times.
He knew her body well, quickly driving her to the edge.
But before, it had always been while drunk.
He’d always stopped himself in time.
He’d kept telling himself he hadn’t betrayed Hannah.
Besides, it was Hannah who was too conservative.
Even living together, she insisted on waiting until after marriage.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so tempted by Nina.
Nina’s voice came in gasps. “Nathan… Nathan…”
“Don’t speak.”
Nathan covered her mouth.

Silencing all sound.
The thought of Hannah being intimate with that man from the coffee shop in five days drove him mad with jealousy.
But he could do nothing.
The moment he met Davis’s eyes at the cafe, he recognized him.
One word from Davis could determine his future.
He could only unleash his rage now…
The next day, they went to work together.
Nina kept her scarf pulled up to her ears all morning, never taking it off.
No one knew how terrifying Nathan could be.
One wrong move during their encounter could have killed her.
But to marry Nathan, to become a glamorous wealthy wife, a little suffering in bed meant nothing to her.
As the workday wound down, Nathan came out of his office and tapped her desk. “I’m going to check on the apartment. Coming?”
“Which apartment?”
“The one at Riverside Gardens.”
“Yes, I’ll come!”
Nina jumped up excitedly, then nearly collapsed from pain.
Nathan didn’t react, didn’t even offer to help.
She steadied herself against the desk, took a moment to recover, then followed him.
The Riverside Gardens apartment.
The luxury penthouse she’d always dreamed of.
Originally meant to be Hannah and Nathan’s marital home.
Now it would be hers.
Thinking this made the physical pain seem worthwhile.
At Riverside Gardens, Nathan remained expressionless while Nina admired everything
She couldn’t help but admire Hannah’s taste as a designer.
The aesthetics were perfect.

She turned to Nathan eagerly: “When can we move in? The contractors said they used all eco–friendly materials, so we should be able to move in soon, right?”
“What are you thinking?”
Nathan let out a cold laugh. “This is a wedding gift for Hannah.”
