In an instant, Horace pressed himself down onto her. His sturdy body was so close to ra, and the musk of a mature man wrapped her up.


    “Horace, get off…”


    ra intended to cry out for help, but her words were all smothered by Horace’s lips.


    He was gentle but possessive, and for sure he wanted to punish her by doing this. ra had nowhere to escape and she felt herself sinking into a dark hole…


    No! please don’t…


    Such a feeling reminded her of what happened two years ago. Suddenly, she was shivering with fear and tears rolled down her face.


    Horace seemed to have noticed the woman’s trembling under him. He looked up and suddenly froze when he saw her tears.


    He stopped the invasion. He put his hands on both sides of ra, bowed his head, and said in a low voice, “ra, are you afraid of me?”


    ra put her hands around her smooth shoulders, shivering, and she could not say anything at this moment.


    In an instant, Horace felt as if ice water had poured all over his body, and his lust was dispelled all of a sudden.


    He let go of the woman under him. Seeing her pale face and the twinkling tears in her eyes, Horace suddenly felt a pang in his heart.


    God damn!


    What the hell did he just do?!


    “ra.” He opened his mouth again, with his voice softened a little, and he stretched out his hand to help her up. But what he did not expect was that as his hands touched her, she immediately hid away as if there was an electric shock on the tips of his fingers.


    This instinctive action from her made Horace hurt as well as agitated.


    “Just… have some rest, please.” He didn’t know what to say at this time. After leaving these words, Horace turned away and left the room.


    After Horace left, ray in bed for a long time before she managed to get up.


    It had been two years.


    She thought she had already gotten out of the darkness from two years ago, yet what she could not expect is that once a man approached her, it still brought her back to that hell of a night.


    Horace didn’te back to her room the whole night.


    The next morning, ra dawdles downstairs. She was struggling with the fact that she had to confront Horace at breakfast. In the dining room, Martha told her that Horace went abroad in the middle of the night.


    ra was stunned.


    It seemed that Horace also felt ufortable seeing her so he hid away.


    ra couldn’t figure out Horace’s attitude towards herst night.


    Of course, she would not dare to think that Horace had any feelings for her. In her opinion, it was just an act to show the sovereignty of a man over a woman.


    What he was mad at was her confusing rtionship with Darren, and this made him possessive of his wife.


    But thinking about his legs, ra sighed and stopped all that mind wondering. She finished her breakfast quietly and went to thepany.


    As soon as she arrived at thepany, ra saw that the whole team of the magazine was chaotic. She asked one of the employees and learned that the mediapany in Queensvale, which was supposed to work with them, had shut down, resulting in the copse of their bteral coboration that had been nned for more than half a year.


    Qeensvale?


    Wasn’t that the magazine where Mr. Muller worked as a chief editor?


    ra quickly checked this on the Inte, and she was really surprised.


    The magazine in Queensvale was indeed a Titanic. It was said that there was someone powerful and influential that controlled thepany in the dark. However, just within a few days, arge number ofwsuits against it had emerged. As for Muller himself, he was convicted guilty by the name of fake news and false advertising.


    This was too dramatic to be real. ra started to wonder whether it was a trap set by some mysterious m that really hated Muller.


    Was this guy Horace?


    As soon as this idea came up, she shook her head to shake herself off it.


    She thought to herself, “This was preposterous fantasy! ra, although you are Horace’s wife, you two are not even friends. Yes, he saved you that night, but that was all. Do you really believe he would destroy a man’s life just for you?”


    Thinking about this, she thought this was just an act of God and evil-doers really got what they had done to others.


    Because of the Queensvale incident, theyout originally scheduled for the next issue of the magazine would have to bepletely changed. ra was responsible for the revision. After she finished her part of the job, Eileen Patterson asked her to send it to Darren.


    She did not want to. After all, after what happened in Queensvale, she didn’t want to see Darren again.


    Although before Darren had insulted her many times, this had gone too far. He must have disrespected and hated her so much that he sent her to be with a man like Muller.


    She still kept a little bit of the memory of the beautiful moments she had with him, but now that memory was destroyed.


    She didn’t want to see him at all. But she also knew that it was ridiculous to try to hide from him.


    From beginning to end, she did nothing wrong. Why would she be the one to run away?


    Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, took the modified sample, and went to Darren’s office.


    “Mr. Kirnd,” After entering his office ra didn’t even look at him. She just spoke out the words in a mechanical tone, “This is the revised version. I’ll put it here. Please have a check.”


    She turned away and started to walk out of the room.


    “Stop right there.”


    Unexpectedly, Darren suddenly opened his mouth behind her, and his voice was cold as ice.


    ra’s body froze a little bit and she didn’t even look back. She answered back, “what else do you want?”


    “Don’t you have anything to exin?” the volume of Darren’s voice turned up. It seemed that he stood up and walked toward ra.


    “Exin what?”


    “Many. For example, why did you leave Queensvale without my permission?” Darren’s voice was already behind her, and the voice was frightening, “Also, what is the rtionship between you and my uncle?”


    ra shuddered uncontrobly before she turned around and saw Darren’s face.


    “How did you know?” ra’s voice trembled.


    Did he know that she and Horace were a married couple? Did Horace tell him?


    ra was a little flustered.


    Although her rtionship with Horace was very simple, she still did not know how to answer that question.


    After all, Horace was his uncle, and she was his first love…


    “You are asking how I know your rtionship with my uncle?” Darren suddenly sneered and approached ra. “It doesn’t matter how I know. What matters is, ra, have you made it clear that you are a married woman? And do you know that my uncle is also a married man!”N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    ra, who had been flustered, stared at Darren when she heard his words.


    What did he mean by these words?


    “Why so silent?” He bellow, as if ra’s silence had enraged him. He grabbed her shoulder, shook her violently, and his voice became even louder. “ra! Look what you’ve be! You’re cheating on your husband, and you’ve been a homewrecker! Why are you so pathetic now? What happened to the girl I knew?”
