“Empress... Empress... please don't go, Empress... no one loves Shuang'er anymore... Shuang'er is in so much pain... so much pain...” The faint sobs echoed, tears streaming down and soaking a large area.
Rafas looked at her pitiful appearance and felt a deep sense of discomfort. Perhaps he had been too harsh, but knowing his temper, anyone who offended him would surely be left with half their life at best.
He removed her oxygen mask and pressed a kiss on her delicate red lips: “Who told you to be so disobedient? How dare you run away? Now you know pain, but why didn't you beg for mercy? Why didn't you say a word? Do you really want to die that badly?”
Rafas's eyes no longer showed a hint of anger; instead, they revealed a rare warmth as he looked at her crying in pain. He took her graceful little hand and gently kissed it.
In the middle of the night, Yan Wushuang's body burned like a furnace, her cheeks flushed bright red from the high fever. Shouya was busy preparing various medicines to administer to her, and the pain in her body made her suffer greatly.
The high fever showed no signs of retreating, and Rafas clenched his fists anxiously. How could she suddenly have a high fever in the middle of the night? Did he use the wrong medicine? What was going on?
Everyone in the ancient castle was terrified by the atmosphere, not daring to breathe loudly. All the servants stood outside waiting for their master's instructions. Shouya was sweating profusely as she worked tirelessly; just after administering one medicine, she had to change another for her until morning when her condition finally stabilized.
Faisal had left after talking with him in the study yesterday and hadn't come over all night. He came early this morning to check on the situation and to inform him about matters from England.
As soon as he entered, he saw Shouya slumped on the wide, comfortable sofa. Approaching her, he noticed her panda-like eyes; it seemed she had been quite busy last night. Since that was the case, he decided not to trouble her today and let her rest a bit longer.
“Where is the master?” he asked casually as he walked inside, grabbing a passing maid.
“The master has been in the room with Miss Wushuang. She had a high fever last night and hasn't come out since,” a maid who appeared to be in her twenties briefly explained what had happened last night.
Faisal nodded and sent the girl away before walking alone toward the innermost room. Outside the door, doctors and nurses were taking turns keeping watch; it seemed this woman was indeed extraordinary.
He knocked on the door but received no response from inside. He pushed the door open anyway. Rafas was leaning against the headboard, tightly holding her small hand. Upon seeing him enter, he immediately released her hand and sat up.
“What’s going on so early?” Rafas asked, putting his hands in his pockets. Even though he looked like he had just woken up, it was enough to charm many women.
“Nothing urgent; I just wanted to come see how things were! By the way, I assume things have already started over in England. Have you dealt with Smith Annie yet? She's been looking for you these past few days.” Looking at the woman lying on the bed as if she had no breath left in her body reminded him of how he thought she might actually be dead yesterday; he was surprised she could still be saved.
Smith Annie? Yes, there was indeed such a woman. He had too many women around him; almost every corner of the world had one of Rafas's women. However, the only one left by his side was that foolish woman who lay at home on the brink of death.
“No need to worry about her; I've already made things clear with her. The contract is signed; she can do whatever she wants. Ideally, she'll do as I wish so I can send her back to England sooner. I’ve never lacked tools for warming my bed,” he said while shifting his gaze back to the quiet woman on the bed.
“Alright then, I'll handle things over in England. But your own company needs your personal attention; I can't help you with that.” He hadn't returned to the office for several days now; a pile of documents awaited his signature. Nodding to himself, it seemed he needed to go back personally after all.
Shouya was kicked awake on the sofa by Rafas. He had been busy all night, and now he wasn't even allowed to sleep properly. Damn it...
"Stop sleeping. We have things to do, and she's your responsibility now. If anything goes wrong while I'm gone, you'll be coming to work at the company!" Rafas made a stern remark. He really needed someone to help him handle some minor tasks at the company; his medical research wasn't going to assist him in this matter.
"Please, I can't understand those things. You can rest assured, I'll take good care of her," Shouya immediately stood up and adjusted his clothes. He was still more suited to being in the research lab.
With a warning glance, Rafas left the castle with him. In the distance, a pair of eyes was watching the ancient castle behind the high walls, wondering who else might be living inside.
Inside Monica Tower, a stack of documents appeared neatly on the desk of the President's Office. This was Rafas's first appearance at the company since his wedding, and everyone thought he would be in a good mood. However, little did they know that he had fired countless people on his way in.
"President, these are important documents from New York. Could you please respond quickly?" Assistant Jackson carefully opened each document for him. Rafas merely glanced at them before swiftly signing his name on top.
During the noon meeting, he sat solemnly in the center with his Silver Mask on, looking over this month's performance report for the company, which had clearly declined. His gaze swept across everyone present in the meeting room; no one escaped his scrutiny as he berated them mercilessly.
Smith Annie had sent someone to track Rafas's whereabouts and learned that he was currently at the company. She applied a seductive makeup look, changed into a sexy and elegant French mini dress, put on ten-inch high heels, and had her driver take her over.
At Monica Tower, Smith Annie entered the president's exclusive elevator with great fanfare as the president's wife and went straight up to the top floor's President's Office. The Secretary saw that it was the president's wife and immediately approached her warmly: "Madam, are you here to see the president? He's currently in a meeting; why don't you wait in his office for a bit?"
Smith Annie took off her sunglasses and looked at the beautiful Female Secretary before her. Typically, there would be some ambiguous relationship between secretaries and their bosses. She glared at the secretary's pretty face and said with her sexy red lips slightly parted, "You're fired. Pack your things and leave; you don't need to come back tomorrow!"
The Secretary's face froze; she felt like she hadn't done anything wrong. How could this happen...
"I don't like having such a beautiful woman around Lefas. Do you understand?" Smith Annie showed no mercy and left those words hanging before proudly walking into the President's Office.
Indeed, it was a powerful publicly listed company; just look at this President's Office—it's stunning! The luxurious crystal chandelier, valuable decorations, and magnificent decor all showcased his extravagant style!
Feigning elegance, she sat down on the sofa. She had come specifically to invite him to dinner today; regardless of why he married her, they were legally husband and wife now—Rafas was her man.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was even more serious. Rafas hadn't said a single pleasant word from start to finish. At that moment, Mike quietly entered and whispered something in his ear. Rafas furrowed his brows, closed the documents in his hand, and coldly stated, "Meeting adjourned!"
"How did that woman suddenly show up here? Why didn't you stop her?" Rafas stormed out of the meeting room toward his office. He thought that after explaining things to her, she would sensibly stay at their villa and live her life quietly. He never expected she'd dare come to the company today.
"I'm sorry, Master. When Madam came up, I went to the restroom. By the time I returned, she had already gone in to wait for you and even fired your secretary!" Mike's duty was to protect him; so even if Rafas came to the company, he would still be present here.
Fire his secretary. What qualifications does she have? She gestured to Mike to wait outside. He wanted to see how she would enjoy her comfortable life away from the villa, pretending to be noble in front of his subordinates.
He pushed the door open unhappily. Annie Smith was sitting in his chair, playing around. Upon seeing him enter, she immediately rushed forward and called out ambiguously, "Honey, your meeting is over?"
"Why aren't you where you should be? What are you doing here?" Rafas glared at her with disgust. The game was over; he had no need to continue pretending like before.
Annie approached him, reaching out to touch his firm chest, but Rafas showed her no mercy. He walked past her and sat down in his rightful place.
Annie's arms hung awkwardly in the air, feeling embarrassed. This man was being too decisive. They had just gotten married, and he had already said such hurtful things to her. As a noble lady from the Smith Family, she had lowered herself to come find him, yet he was so heartless and unrecognizing.
"Honey, how can you treat me like this? I am the woman you vowed to love for a lifetime in church!" Just a moment ago, she was still immersed in the happiness of that day; now she felt like a pitiful creature abandoned by her newlywed husband.
"Hmph! It's truly laughable. In my dictionary, Rafas has never included the word 'love,' so put away your fake face; it disgusts me!" Lighting a cigar, Rafas leaned back in his chair and enjoyed smoking.
Annie had always been a proud woman. Being looked down upon by the man she loved made her feel particularly hurt. With a wronged expression, she walked up to him and asked softly, "Are we really going to continue like this? Do you really plan to treat me this way from now on?"
"How we proceed is up to you. We can also divorce privately; it's your choice!" With just a few words, Rafas dismissed her. Annie walked out dejectedly but knew she had to maintain her pride in front of others.
She got into the car waiting for her in front of the building. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. He must be hiding something from her; he definitely had women outside—many women…
Looking at the cars passing by outside, Rafas wanted to kick her aside after using her, right? Not a chance! She was determined to find out what secrets he was hiding in that mysterious castle.
