Leah did not know how to drive nor did she have any money with her. As a result, she had

no choice but to walk back home. After a while of strolling along the street outside the

hotel, a vehicle pulled up beside her. Her attention was drawn to the piercingly loud horn.

Leah frowned and approached the vehicle. She looked into the window and saw Han

staring at her coldly. The man’s heart sank when he saw her in a dishevelled state. Her

evening dress was creased and crumpled, with stains from the alcohol earlier. Her hair was

straggling all over and her face was pale and blotchy. Han furrowed his brow and said

coldly, “Get in.”

After a moment of hesitation, Leah shook her head and asked, “What do you want?”

“What do you think I can do to you?” Han scoffed and continued sarcastically, “Don’t think

too highly of yourself, Leah.”

The woman bit her lip and vehemently protested, “You told me to stay far away from you,

Han Howard. I’ll not board your vehicle.”

“I don’t like to repeat myself.” Han’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, clearly irritated

by the woman’s hesitant demeanor. “Don’t test my limits,” he warned.

Leah knew that she could never argue against the man. No matter how reluctant she was,

she had to obey Han’s instructions. After letting out a sigh, she pulled the backdoor open.

Just as Leah was preparing to enter the vehicle, Han slammed the backdoor close and

ordered harshly, “Sit in the front.” The woman had no choice but to scuttle into the

passenger seat obediently.

Once Leah fastened her seatbelt, Han slammed on the accelerator and the car took off in

the speed of light. Frightened by the high speed, she grabbed on the handle as tightly as

she could. Though her face was as pale as sheet, she tried her best to maintain her

composure and avoided screaming.

Leah could no longer tolerate the high speed because it made her stomach queasy and

nearly caused her to vomit. She screamed at the top of her lungs, “What are you doing,

Han Howard!”

Han looked at her and burst out laughing. He did not slow down and continued driving

toward the suburbs. It was a barren land with no one in sight. The roads were rocky and

uneven.

“Get off,” Han opened the door and ordered.

Leah shielded herself with her arms and leaned against the car. “Why did you bring me

here?” She winced and raised her head to question Han. Instead of responding, the man

took a cigarette from his coat. He exhaled a puff of smoke and gazed off into the distance.

“Leah.” The woman was startled when Han suddenly called her name. She had not heard

him call her in quite some time. Leah looked at Han suspiciously and wondered, why did

he call my name? Is he up to something?

“Be my woman,” Han said, twirling the cigarette in his fingers, his eyes firm and

determined.

Leah was rendered speechless by Han’s words. Doesn’t he hate me? Hasn’t he been

thinking of ways to hurt and punish me? Didn’t he say to get far away from him?

“Are you crazy?” Leah clenched her jaws and snapped, “Be your woman? How dare you

even say that! Yes, I admit that I was in love with you previously but that doesn’t mean I’m

going to let you hurt me.”

Han smirked and smoked a cigarette. He thought he had gone insane for making such an

unusual request. After extinguishing the flame and disposing the cigarette, the man

turned to Leah and said, “I have thought about it. It’s best to keep you by side.” Since he

was unable to silence her, he could only keep her close and torture her.

Han reasoned inwardly, doesn’t Leah love me? I shall make her stay by my side and watch

me marry other women and form a family. I’ll let her feel bitter that she can never have

my heart. This is a form of revenge too.

Leah scowled and purposely averted his gaze. She said bitterly, “What about Molly? You

have just attended the engagement ceremony. She’s your fiancée now.”

“What gives you the right to compare yourself to her? You are nothing but my play toy,”

Han ridiculed.

The woman felt goosebumps all over her. When did Han become so ruthless and

merciless? He’s no longer the innocent and kind young man from before. I feel like I don’t

know him any more.

“I don’t even wish to be your wife anymore, Han Howard. Why do you think I’ll agree to

make myself miserable and be your mistress?” Leah shook her head and continued with a

solemn expression, “Send me back. I promise never to appear in your life ever again.”

Han fixed his gaze on Leah, deep in thought. He never expected the woman to reject his

demand. However, he was not dejected. Instead, he smirked and took out his car keys

before saying. “You will agree to it.”

After leaving the engagement party, Jane and Gordon went in search of Leah. They

became concerned when they discovered no trace of her. Jane said to Sasha begrudgingly,

“You were told to keep a close eye on Sarah. Why did you leave her alone? What if she

gets into trouble?”

Jane had always been kind to Sasha, so the sudden chastisement took her by surprise. The

latter could never bring herself to criticize the former. Nonetheless, she was chastising her

because of Leah. Although Jane was feeling miserable, she put on a forceful smile and said

apologetically, “I’m sorry, Mom. I was distracted as my friend came to talk to me. I didn’t

pay close attention so… I’m sorry, I’ll go look for Sarah now.”

Jane’s phone abruptly rang, and it was Leah on the other end. “I forget to inform you that

I’m home.”

“All right.” Jane heaved a sigh of relief.

After the call ended, Jane apologized to Sasha, saying, “I’m sorry, Sasha. I didn’t mean to

chastise you earlier. Because I was anxious, my tone was a little harsh.”

Sasha’s face darkened as she tried to calm herself. She then gave a sinister smile and

said, “It’s all right.”

“Let me call the chauffeur to send you guys home,” Gordon interrupted.

Jane looked at the man quizzically and asked, “What about you? Aren’t you heading home

too?”

Gordon shook his head and replied, “I have some matters to attend to before heading

home. You can patiently await my updates at home.” He then gave Jane a knowing look.

Jane understood the man’s intentions and nodded her head in agreement. “Okay, I shall

wait for your news at home.”

Sasha noticed Gordon’s troubled expression and had an omniscient feeling. She hurriedly

held on to the man’s arms and said, “Where are you going, Dad? Can I tag along?”

Gordon shifted Sasha’s hand away, his gaze cold and distant. He ordered, “Stay at home.”

The man’s hardened attitude further affirms Sasha’s guess that something was amiss.

Once Jane and Sasha returned home, the latter rushed to her room to make a call.
