****Ana's breath hitched, her lips parting in a silent gasp as Richard's tongue traced a path of fiery desire along her quivering flesh. With a soft moan escaping her, she surrendered to the intensity of his touch, her body arching in pleasure. Each stroke of his tongue to her wet entrance sent waves of heat crashing through her, igniting a primal hunger within. Lost in the whirlwind of sensation, she surrendered completely, her eyes fluttering shut."Ummm!" Ana moaned, her voice a breathless melody of desire as her fingers tangled in his hair, pulling him closer with a fervent urgency. She could feel the burning lava rolling throughout her body. As Richard held Ana's waist firmly, her legs draped over his shoulders, he immersed himself in the intoxicating scent and taste of her arousal. His tongue, a skillful dancer, traced delicate patterns around her velvet folds, teasing and coaxing her pleasure to new heights. With each flick and swirl, Ana's moans grew louder, echoing in the ai
******The loud ring of the phone shattered the peaceful embrace of Richard and Ana, jolting them awake from their post-passionate slumber. Groggily, they blinked at each other, disoriented by the sudden interruption."Pick the phone!" Ana murmured, opening her eyes, when suddenly realization hit her that there was a telephone in the house.'What!' "You have a phone in the house and you didn't tell me?" Ana's voice held a note of inquiry as she rose from the bed, gracefully enveloping herself in the sheet. Her question hung in the air, prompting Richard to explain the oversight. "When did you ask me about the phone?" With a nonchalant shrug, he left the bed, his naked form adding a touch of humor to the moment. Intent on silencing the persistent ringing, he made his way toward the hallway, each step purposeful.Ana's frustration grew as she clenched her fists, feeling foolish for not inquiring about the telephone earlier and for not exploring the house to discover it herself.Ana sl
*****As Richard entered the hospital, his expression was stoic, and he removed his sunglasses as he made his way to the floor where Emilia had been shifted, with his family already present.Following behind Richard was a woman who couldn't be forgotten by the Hill family, wearing a cold smile on her face. If this was the way God intended for her to exact revenge on the Hill family, then so be it."Richard, where is your phone? We've been calling you since last night! What I feared has happened, and I don't know who to blame for this!" Selena spoke immediately upon seeing Richard, her tone laced with urgency and anxiety. He appeared relaxed rather than nervous, and this irritated Emilia's father, who was on the edge of bursting since her daughter would not have done such a thing if not for this man. "Who to blame? What do you mean!?" Richard retorted, his gaze shifting to Emilia's family as he spoke to his mother. "The blame has already been heaped upon me!""Richard, let's not escala
*****"You are still as vicious as my younger self had seen," Anastasia spat, her words laced with anger as she tapered her eyes with hatred. "I have never wanted to be the daughter-in-law of your family, but since we haven't finalized the divorce yet, I am disgustingly accepting this title." Though for a moment, the urge to punch this woman's face into a wrecked doll surged within her, Anastasia fought to maintain her composure."You," Selena seethed with fury, her voice trembling with rage as she directed her gaze at Richard, her eyes ablaze with indignation. "Do you not hear her tone and her words? Besides, I feel insulted right in front of you. Why are you not saying anything or at least throwing that woman out of this hospital?" Her words were laced with accusation, her frustration evident as she looked to Richard for a response, expecting him to teach this woman a heavy lesson."You should not have started, Mom! And this is not the place to bring up your family conflict," Richar
*****"Well, honestly, I can't quite tell if you're putting on an act or not. But you did a great job!" Ana said as they arrived at her chamber, with George following closely behind them.Richard paused, his hand gripping the chair he was about to sit on."Acting!?" he echoed.Ana settled into her chair and remarked, "Indeed, that was rather commendable. For a moment, you made me believe just how deeply you care for me. Although you used me as a means to rid yourself of Emilia, I find it rather satisfying, considering not only Emilia's parents but your mother appeared to be in distress."George fixed his gaze on Richard, then shifted it to Anastasia, pondering how she could believe Richard was merely acting."Hmm! It appears you take pleasure in seeing my mother suffer," Richard remarked, his expression cold and impassive. He did not say anything, but Ana's words cut deep into his heart."Suffer! Hah!" Ana chuckled. "Your mother didn't suffer anything; it was just her ego taking a batt
*****"Jerry, why aren't you saying anything!?" Selena exclaimed, her frustration evident as she watched Jerry pacing back and forth in the hall.After their return from the hospital, neither of them had even taken a sip of water, the tension hanging heavy in the air like a suffocating blanket."What do you want me to say? I'm in your shoes right now, and we're stuck in this mess with no way to stop Richard," Jerry exclaimed, frustration dripping from every word as if he begrudged admitting that Richard had seemingly developed feelings for Ana.Selena sighed heavily, her expression mirroring Jerry's frustration. "I know, I know," she replied, her voice tinged with resignation. "But we can't just sit back and let this happen. We've got to find a way to deal with this before it spirals out of control."With a determined glint in his eye, Jerry nodded in agreement, his mind already racing with ideas on how to navigate the precarious situation they found themselves in. "We can't kill her
******The man looked at Sonia coldly but did not refute her, which made Sonia believe he was ready to stop the bleeding from his hand, which was already bandaged. Though she did not have sympathy for him, she feared blood.Sonia rose and made her way to her room before retrieving the medicine box. She then sat back, a little closer to the man. Though her heart was pounding in fear, she couldn't tend to his hand in the same spot where she had sat earlier."Your hand!" Sonia exclaimed, not looking towards the man, as her quivering hand brought out the bandage from the box, in a moment of urgency.The hand stretched out, accompanied by a strong aura that Sonia keenly sensed. She took a silent breath and delicately unwrapped the stained bandage from his hand, ensuring her movements were gentle to avoid causing him any pain."why not you are as beautiful as your sister?" the man displeasingly said.Sonia's hand froze holding the bandage, as a scowl appeared on her forehead. This man not on
*****"Why are you standing there? Come inside!" Richard's grandmother exclaimed, setting down the cards she held. Helena glanced towards the door and her face lit up with a wide smile upon seeing Ana. With warmth in her heart, Ana made her way over to Helena, and they embraced each other tightly. Ana never imagined she would have the chance to see Helena again, and yet here she was, feeling overwhelmed with emotion at the unexpected reunion."You've become so beautiful," Ana remarked as she broke away from the hug."You're a doctor now!" Helena exclaimed with a happy grin, her eyes shining with pride at seeing Ana as a doctor. "Yes," Ana laughed, gently cupping Helena's cheeks in her hands."Well, don't forget about me, girls. I'm the old one here and I need a bit more attention," Richard's grandmother interjected with a playful grin, noticing how her great daughter-in-law and granddaughter were so engrossed in each other, completely ignoring her presence."You've already checked ou
