Just This Once

She had lost everything. Her face was disfigured, her limbs were crippled, her parents were murdered while her sibling was rendered mute, and her family's wealth was plundered...The people who did those things in her previous lifetime showed her how cruel the world could be.But she was given a second chance—she was resurrected. With it, she placed her pieces carefully on the chessboard—making meticulous arrangements, building a business empire of her own, and retaliating upon those who had wronged her, all in the name of vengeance!Meanwhile, he, the Apollo who made countless women across the kingdom swoon for him, had once been cold, redoubtable, powerful, and staying away from womanizing until they met. By the stroke of fate, they were united, and since that encounter, he changed, reserving only the deepest and sincerest tenderness for her, 24/7/365, without fail.

Jade Redfern never did manage to make Zephaniah Owens warm up to her even after three years. Once she saw through the truth of all the unendurable shame she experienced, she decided to give up and handed over the divorce papers. “Since you don’t love me, file for a divorce.”She did not expect that she would have another life growing in her after the divorce.

Seeing this, the obstetrician gently comforted her. “Don’t be scared. The child will be born safe and sound. Everything will soon pass.” Jiang Sese nodded, the rims of her eyes tinged red. She was full of reluctance. Her child would be taken away right after she gave birth. For nine months , she had watched the little creature grow little by little in her womb. Despite trying her best not to form an emotional connection with the baby, her heart nonetheless still ached at this moment. She was sorry, so sorry... Her eyes reddened. It wasn’t that she didn’t want this child, but rather, she couldn’t have it. After giving birth and taking the money, she would no longer have anything to do with her baby. Pain shot up to her brain again and her vision darkened. Waves of regret swept over her. She didn’t want the money anymore, just the child. Just the child... No one could hear her silent cry for help. After the obstetrician gave her a shot of

Before their marriage, he said, “Our marriage is just an agreement on a piece of paper. Privately, we have nothing to do with each other.” After their marriage, whenever she ran into trouble, he would help her. When she was bullied, he would protect her. She obeyed the agreement and hid the fact that they were married but he announced to the world that she was his wife. When he secretly slipped into bed again, Susan got agitated. “What do you actually want?” He wore an innocent look as he begged, “Please hug me. Please kiss me. Please…” Facing the rogue CEO, Susan could only admit defeat. It was only many years later that she realized that he had loved her for a very long time.

When she got married five years ago, she knew that her husband had an old lover. Tilting her chin, he said to her, "You're just a surrogate. Don't think of anything else except money."
