Getting his woman back was a decision that Alex had made from the moment he saw the weakened Jane helping the even weaker old woman up. He was certain that Jane would not go back with him ever again no matter what; he had also reflected on his own heart and realized that he would never love another woman again in his life."I've thought it through. In this life, I belong to Jane, alive or dead," Alex drawled carelessly."Um…" Garrett was shocked as he thought to himself, ‘Are these words really coming out of Master's mouth? These words usually come from women. Is the master really so desperate that he intends to do whatever it takes?’At that moment, Garrett found himself overwhelmed by the urge to laugh at his master for being like a woman, but he did not dare to, considering how sorrowful and depressed his master looked.After allowing himself a short while of depression, Alex turned cold and stern as he lowered his voice at Garrett, "Garrett, find me a hotel to stay in first. I

Jane covered her cheek that was burning with pain. "Wh-why would you hit me?"Ivy snorted, "So what if I hit you? I'm hitting you because of how cheap you are! They never wanted you and you still forced yourself in here! How shameless for you to insist on staying even if you have to clean tables and wipe the floor. Who would want a pregnant woman like you??""..." Jane did not respond anymore because she knew that any resistance would only bring further torture. What she did not realize, however, was that someone was standing by the door, watching and sobbing in silence.Noah's mother leaned against the door frame and wept as she mumbled quietly, "My girl, will you be safe from all this suffering if I die? I can tell that you are a good girl who cherishes love and knows right from wrong. But the three of us can't just all die, can we? No, it's the four of us. At least one of the four of us has to survive, right? I am grateful for how much you care for me, my child, but I’m going to

Lenny was not surprised when he received the call from Alex. He was the one who called Garrett saying that he needed instructions for certain matters during the day. However, when he received the call from Alex himself at that moment, he still felt frightened. It could not be helped. He just did."Why were you looking for me, Master Powell?" Alex asked."Here's the thing, Master Alex," Lenny said, stuttering the entire time. "For some reason, the people here in White Ocean City are quick to catch onto the news, they all…know that I met you once and that you are here for a business trip in White Ocean City. ""Get to the point!" Alex said impatiently."Um, there are people here in White Ocean City, all sorts of people, who…who want to welcome you here. You see… The venue for the welcoming party will be here in my restaurant. My restaurant is rather spacious, and it's legal. The drinks and food served here are excellent as well. The chef… My chef isn't too bad, as well, you…" Seeing

It had only been a little over ten days since he last saw her, and Jane's belly seemed to have grown much bigger in size. For the past ten days in White Ocean City, Alex had been quite free and, when he had nothing to do, he could, from Kidon City, consult doctors from White Ocean City and do research online by himself. He came to learn a lot about pregnant women and learnt that the further along the pregnancy, the faster the fetus would grow. Indeed, after merely ten days, Jane had changed drastically. However, she was still extremely thin and her face was still pale without any color; her clothes were still ragged, barely covering her, when in fact, it seemed that was simply because her belly had grown too big to be covered.She was holding a teapot and refilling drinks for the guests. She was clearly the odd one out as she walked around the restaurant in her state between elites of White Ocean City, especially when she came across Alex.White Ocean City was situated at the furthes

Everyone's jaw dropped at Alex's words as they stared at the two in silence."I’ll belong to Master Powell for the rest of my life, alive or dead," Jane replied in an incredibly casual tone."But look at you now; you are the janitor.""So what? Compared to the abuse I received from my biological parents, the isolation I had to endure from my siblings, the four years of imprisonment by my in-laws, before getting chased out by you and almost dying at the hands of your fiancee, at least I have finally settled down now. I am grateful.""But I..." Alex didn't finish his sentence."But you are not!" Jane smiled quietly and lifted her gaze to look at Alex. "You won't give up, will you? It will always be you who gives the order and I will always comply. I left immediately when you asked me to go, so you thought I would come back with gratitude in my heart once you ask me to go back. But you didn't expect for me to disobey you. You can't control me anymore, so you feel defeated and reconci
