“Why? I’m not going back.”
I reject his proposal firmly.
My heart still hurts when the scene comes to my mind that he rushed to save Whitney only but ignored
my call.
The man standing in front of me just doesn’t care about me, no matter how intimate and happy he is in
bed with me. How can a woman that only gives him sexual pleasure be as important as his one-in-a-
million wife? I’m his nothing. It’s ridiculous that I thought he would save me at that time.
I feel like tens of thousands of ants are taking the bite of my heart, so painful that I could hardly
breathe.
“I’m not here to ask your consent. It’s an order.” Frances says coldly, giving me an impatient look.
“Who are you to order me around? Why should I listen to you! Please get out if there’s nothing else. I
don’t want your wife to see you in my room, or I’ll be dead.”
I point towards the door and ask him to leave.
I don’t want to be controlled by him anymore, neither my mood nor my freedom.
This competition is pretty important to me, because Donny just told me the prize for it is one million
dollars.
Anyway, I’ll try my best, whether it’s for the prize or the cooperation with DS Company. Though my
heart tells me that I really don’t want to part from him, I have to make a clean break with him as soon
as possible.
What happened today makes me realize how horrible Whitney is. She has known it. Staying with
Frances will not end well for me.
“Jane, can you just calm down? I’m doing this for your good.” his tone softens a bit. But I don’t want to
hear him at all.
For my good?
When has he ever done anything for my good?
I never dream that he would consider things for me.
I say to him with a sneer, “I know you’re afraid that I will leave if I win the prize, so you can’t control my
life again. How can an arrogant man like you bear a woman abandon you? You think you must be the
one to dump me! Is that right?”
Wearing a cold look, he gazes at me for a while, mocking, “You’re right. How can you escape from me?
I’ll watch you be destroyed in my hands, little by little.”
As he says it, it seems that the sharp look in his eyes will kill me in a moment.
“Can’t you just love your dear Whitney with all your heart? Why you have to disturb my life! Can you
just let me go, I’m begging you?” I say in despair.
“You want me to only love Whitney? All right! I’ll do it as you wish!”
Frances storms out of the room, and the door slams shut behind him.
I sit down on the bed, with holding tears streaming down on my face.
The heart hurts.
Why should I fall in love with him?
Would my life be better if I didn’t love him?
But now it has happened already. What should I do?
On the evening of the next day, it’s the opening ceremony of the competition.
I sit in the auditorium with Nicole as well as other designers from all over the world, watching the
sponsor and investor of this competition go up the stage.
I’m surprised to know that the Louis Group is the investor of this competition when seeing Frances step
on the stage.
So it is the Louis Group that will offer one million dollars as the prize for this competition.
If I win the prize, it means Frances will pay me to leave him. No wonder he was so angry before.
Although I have great confidence in myself, the contestants are top-class designers. I’m afraid my
chance to win is weak. Even so, I’m not the one to give up easily. I have to come up to the challenge.
What if I get good luck and win the prize.
As the investor, Frances is giving a speech on the stage.
When he mentions the prize, his eyes suddenly fall on me.
