He firmly believed that she killed his beloved woman and sent her to jail in his own hands, destroying all her love for him. After years of torture and pain, he was not the sunshine of her world but the Satan of hell. When she got out of the prison, he again imprisoned her in his hell like world. Finally, she managed to escape from the devil trap. However, as soon as she left, the man turned crazy looking for her all over the world. . .

Chapter 1 1

"It's not me. You believe me!" Rachel Morris stared at the man in the car stubbornly. The heavy rain was pouring. The windows were wet by rain, but it could vaguely see the stern face in the car. Rachel stood outside the car tremblingly.

Through the window, she shouted loudly, "Eric Nelson! You at least listen to my explanation!"

The car door suddenly opened. Before Rachel could be happy, a strong force pulled her over. She slammed into the car and bumped into him. His dry white shirt instantly got wet.

"Eric, those gangsters who hurt Helen were not arranged by me..."

A slender and powerful finger pinched her chin without mercy. A unique magnetic voice came from above her head, "Do you like me so much?"

The cold voice was with a slight smell of tobacco, which belonged his smell.

"What?" Rachel was a little confused. The whole world knew that she liked him. Why would he suddenly ask this now?

The man pinched Rachel's chin. He used his slender hand to stretch towards her face. His fingers gently touched her cheeks that had been wetted by the rain.

Rachel was almost immersed in his gentle eyes. She seemed to have heard the next sentence that the man would ask her if she was cold.

But the man suddenly exuded angry breath. He said coldly, "Rachel, do you like me so much? You like me so much that you don't hesitate to kill Helen?"

A chill came from the bottom of Rachel's heart and spread all over her body. Rachel instantly became sober and couldn't help but smiling bitterly...

When did this man show his tenderness to her? It turned out that it was not tenderness at all. It was just a smile from Satan.

"I didn't intend to kill Helen..." She wanted to explain for herself.

"Yes, you didn't intend to kill Helen. You just bribed a few gangsters and let them rape Helen." The man's expression gradually became irritable. He didn't give Rachel chance to explain. The clothes on Rachel were torn apart.

"Ah!"

Along with screaming, Rachel was pushed out of the car mercilessly. She fell into the rain in embarrassment. The cold voice of the man sounded particularly pronounced in the sound of rain.

"Rachel Morris, Miss Morris, what you did to Helen, then I do the same to you. How's the feeling of being naked?"

What!

Rachel suddenly raised her head and looked into the car door incredulously. The man sat in the car, looking at her condescendingly. He took out the handkerchief to wipe his fingers slowly, "Miss Rachel, I am very tired now. Please go back."

"Eric! Listen to me! I really..."

"It's not impossible for me to listen to Miss Rachel." The man raised his eyelids indifferently, and glanced at Rachel, "If Miss Rachel is willing to kneel in front of the Nelson Manor for one night, maybe I am in a good mood, then I can give Miss Rachel ten minutes."

The door of the car suddenly closed. The handkerchief was thrown out of the car. Falling in front of Rachel, it was wetted by rain.

Rachel lowered her head, picked up the handkerchief in the rain, and pinched it firmly in her palm.

The car drove into the Nelson Manor. The iron gate of the Nelson Manor closed mercilessly in front of her.

In the rain, Rachel's face was pale. She stood for a while, then suddenly raised her head and walked to the gate of the Nelson Manor. She pressed her lips tightly and knelt down to the ground.

She knelt down!

Not because of atonement.

Just because Helen was her friend!

She should mourn when her friend died. Not because everyone thought she killed Helen!

She knelt down!

She begged this man to give her ten minutes to listen to her explanation!

The clothes on her body were torn and in tatters. It was barely able to cover important parts. She covered her body with her hands, but her waist was straight. She was proud. She was proud and unyielding even when she was kneeling down!

Her self-esteem! Her dignity! She was Rachel in Shanghai!

She knelt down stubbornly, just for a chance to explain clearly. She hadn't done it. She didn't admit the things what she hadn't done!

But, would there really be this opportunity?

Would she explain it clearly?

Would anyone really believe her?

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. l† never stopped from beginning to end.

One night passed.

In the downpour, Rachel still knelt down outside the Nelson Manor.

The rain drenched her dress. She had been kneeling in the rain all night.

The morning finally came. The manor that had been silent for a night finally had some movements. The silver-haired old butler walked over from the manor yard holding an old-fashioned black umbrella.

The iron gate that had been closed for the whole night "creaked" and opened a gap from two sides.

Rachel finally got a movement, raised her drooping head, and gave a pale smile to the old butler who was standing in the middle of the iron gate.

"Miss Morris, Mr. Nelson wants you to leave here." The old butler's hair was neat. Even if it rained, he had no messy hair.

He was as rigorous as the trees and plants of the Nelson Manor, all trimmed by someone. The old butler threw a piece of clothing towards Rachel.

Rachel stretched out her hand that had been soaked in the rain all night to pick it up, then she put the clothes on tremblingly. She moved her pale and bloodless lips. Her voice was hoarse and firm, "I want to see him."

The old butler did not show any emotions. He conveyed the words of the manor owner word by word, "Mr. Nelson said that Miss Morris's existence has polluted the environment of the manor. He didn't want to see Miss Morris anymore."

From the time of the accident to the present, Rachel did not show a trace of weakness. At this moment, no matter how hard she maintained her calmness, her shoulders trembled, revealing her injured heart.

Rachel closed her eyes. The rain dropped on her face. Others didn't know whether it was rain or tear on her face.

The old butler looked at her expressionlessly. Rachel opened her eyes again, raised her head and said to the old butler, "Mr. Evans, no matter what you think, I haven't bribed these gangsters to ruin Helen's virginity. In any case, I cannot accept your hatred without complaint."

Although Rachel was exhausted, she said clearly... This was a woman who was willing to bow her head temporarily, but was full of pride.

The old butler finally had a reaction other than "indifferent". He frowned. His eyes were full of disgust when he looked at Rachel, "Helen is my daughter. She has been very well-behaved and sensible since childhood. She had never been to a chaotic and dirty place like a bar or nightclub, but she was insulted to death by a group of gangsters in such a place where the gangsters were infested."

"Miss Morris, we checked her phone. Before the incident, she called you and sent you a short message. The content of the short message was, 'I have reached the ONE Club. Rachel, where are you?' "

The old butler stared at Rachel and there was endless hatred in his old eyes, "Miss Morris, because of you, my daughter was dead. She was dead, but you are still quibbling!"

"Everyone knows that Miss Morris is pestering Mr. Nelson, but Mr. Nelson only likes my daughter. He feels disgusting about your pestering extremely. You are obviously jealous of Helen, and you can't get Mr. Nelson's love, so that you want to ruin Helen' virginity. Miss Morris, how vicious you are!"

Rachel was speechless. Helen was the daughter of Blake Evans. She was the love of Eric.

But she, Rachel Morris, was a tiny role who just loved Eric. Now, Helen was dead. She was not only a tiny role, but also a vicious tiny role.

"Miss Morris, please leave." The old butler said, ˆBy the way, Mr. Nelson asked me to convey some words to Miss Morris. . ."

Rachel suddenly looked at the old butler.

"Mr. Nelson said, why is the person who died not you?"

Rachel who knelt on the ground shook violently. A sharp pain came from her heart.

The old butler turned around. The corners of his wrinkled mouth coldly smirked, which made the rigid face look cold and cruel.

Helen was killed by Rachel. He was unhappy. He hated Rachel's viciousness.

Rachel supported her cold body. She stood up tremblingly. As soon as she stood up, she felt her legs numb. She fell down on the cold asphalt, laughing at herself...

'Why is the person who died not you?'

That man would say such cold words. Rachel gave a smile that was even more ugly than crying, "Helen, Helen, you have died. But I have been blamed by everyone."

On the second floor of the Nelson Manor, there was a man who was slender, with wide shoulders and narrow hips. He casually covered his body in a black nightgown with bare feet. His sexy tall body stood quietly in front of the French windows, looking at the figure in the rain which was outside of the manor indifferently.

"Mr. Nelson, I have been conveyed your words to Miss Morris." The old butler had drove Rachel away. Now, he quietly stood at the door of the master bedroom.

Eric shook the red wine glass in his hand. Hearing the words of the old butler, he indifferently retracted his sight falling on Rachel.

With thin libs moving a little, he indifferently gave a series of orders, "Notify the Morris family, if they want Rachel, there will be no the Morris family in the future. If they want the Morris family, from now on, there will be no Rachel's name in the Morris family.'

"Yes."

"Secondly, inform the University. There are no Rachel Morris's files in's University. Inform No.1 Middle School that Rachel was expelled for promiscuity and fighting during school. Her highest education is junior high school."

"Yes."

"Last point. . ." Eric said coldly, "Send her to the prison."

After hearing this, the old butler suddenly raised his head and was stunned, "Mr. Nelson?"

"She has to pay for life. She bribed others, and deliberately murdered. Let her go to jail for three years. Mr. Evans thinks I did not do it right?"

The three-year limit was set by Eric for Rachel. Although the evidence was not enough, Eric angrily made the decision.

"No, Mr. Nelson. . . Thank you, Mr. Nelson." The old butler burst into tears, and said, "If it weren't for Mr. Nelson, Rachel would have no punishment. Rachel is as a family member of the Morris family. I can't do anything to Rachel. Thank you, Mr. Nelson. Thank you."

Eric turned around and stood in front of the French windows. He watched the figure on the asphalt road disappear at the corner downstairs.

His eyes were haze. His slender finger pinched the wine glass. He raised his head to drink up the scarlet wine.

"Mr. Evans, I punished Rachel, not because Helen is your daughter, but Helen is the woman I like." Eric said slowly.

.......

Rachel returned to the house of the Morris family exhaustedly.

But she couldn't step into the house of the Morris family. The old butler who had served the Morris family all his life brought Eric's words.

Rachel was driven out of the Morris family. So, she didn't even see her parents.

Were they so afraid of Eric?

Rachel twitched the corners of her mouth... She retracted her sight. The wrought iron gate clearly drew a line between her and the Morris family, and distinguished everything that belonged to her in the past.

Rachel couldn't tell how the feeling was at the moment. As soon as she turned around, two men in police uniforms stopped her, "Miss Rachel Morris, since you bribe others to instigate them to destroy Miss Helen Evans's virginity. It caused Miss Helen' death. Please come with us now."

Before being sent to prison, Rachel saw Eric who was standing by the window in a stalwart figure.

Rachel shook her head and said firmly, "I have never harmed Helen."

Eric walked up to Rachel unhurriedly.

Rachel told herself not to be afraid. She was innocent and she did not commit a crime.

The delicate little face raised up fearlessly, insisting on maintaining her composure, but her trembling shoulders still showed her tension...

All this was caught by a pair of sharp eyes.

SHANA GRAY

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

The Surgeon's Vow: Healing My Billionaire Husband

The Surgeon's Vow: Healing My Billionaire Husband

Qing Shui

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

The Sterling Scandal: Married To The Uncle

I was at my own engagement party at the Sterling estate when the world started tilting. Victoria Sterling, my future mother-in-law, smiled coldly as she watched me struggle with a cup of tea that had been drugged to ruin me. Before I could find my fiancé, Ryan, a waiter dragged me into the forbidden West Wing and locked me in a room with Julian Sterling, the family’s "fallen titan" who had been confined to a wheelchair for years. The door burst open to a frenzy of camera flashes and theatrical screams. Victoria framed me as a seductress caught in the act, and Ryan didn't even try to listen to my pleas, calling me "cheap leftovers" before walking away with his pregnant mistress. When I turned to my own family for help, my father signed a document severing our relationship for a five-million-dollar payout from Julian. They traded me like a commodity without a second thought. I didn't understand why my own parents were so eager to sell me, or how Ryan could look at me with such disgust after promising me forever. I was a sacrifice, a pawn used to protect the family's offshore accounts, and I couldn't fathom how every person I loved had a price tag for my destruction. With nowhere left to go, I married Julian in a bleak ceremony at City Hall. He slid a heavy diamond onto my finger and whispered, "We have a war to start." That night, inside his secret penthouse, I watched the paralyzed man stand up from his wheelchair and activate a screen filled with the Sterling family's darkest secrets. The execution had officially begun.
