Desperate for Love

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

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 European retro wall lamp was giving out a warm yellow light. On the bed was a pair of entangled lovebirds indulging in passion.

"Ethan..." The woman called out in a voice as gentle as the spring river!

"It's the 100th day today and the last day of our deal. Have me as you like!"

The man didn't reply but kissed her!

Soon the domineering man pressed her down on the king-size bed.

In the room, the vinyl record played the last note... and only their breathing could be heard.

Ethan Moore opened his eyes and looked at the stunner.

He felt both sad and satisfied!

"You look stunning from this angle!"

Ethan held her from behind. Jennifer Stewart nestled against his chest and flinched slightly.

In response to her tiny movement, Ethan immediately turned up the heat and tightened his arms, "Warmer?"

Jennifer hummed gently. Above her closed eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly. The passion just now was so overwhelming that she couldn't speak a word.

She breathed quietly. The blush on her fair skin was like a rosy glow on the snow. Her wet hair and cherry lips added to her charm.

All of a sudden... the phone jingled. It was a push for Weibo trending topics.

They took their phones at the same time, but the pop-up message broke her heart.

Scalding tears instantly fell, but she fought them back in a few seconds!

"Today, Sarai, the young lady of the Gray family, openly proposed to Ethan, golden bachelor and CEO of Moore Group, at a luxurious cruise ship auction!"
