The Beast And The Blessed

"Love and Betrayal: A Second Chance"

In the dimly lit room, two silhouettes intertwined, accompanied by the mans heavy breathing, the entire house was filled with an indescribable air of luxury.

Outside the slightly open door, Willow Thompson stood with one hand supporting her lower back and the other firmly protecting her abdomen. At this point, she was five months pregnant, and ironically, the biological father of her child was inside with someone else.

"Baby..."

That voice, which Willow had heard countless times, now only made her feel extremely nauseous.

Willows patience reached its limit at the sound of "baby," and she pushed the door open.

Hearing the sudden footsteps, the two on the bed froze, both turning their heads. Ira Thompson rolled off Angie Thompsons body in an instant, his voice tense, "Willow... Willow Thompson."

Willow raised an eyebrow, "What? Shes your baby, and as your wife, I only get to be called by my name?"

Ira sat on the floor, rubbing his hands, "Willow, oh no, honey, can you listen to my explanation?"

Willow let out a laugh, then spread her hands towards Ira, "Im really quite curious about what kind of explanation you can come up with."

Ira opened his mouth, his face looking very ugly. At this moment, a pair of hands wrapped around from behind, and Iras body became even stiffer. Only then did Angies soft voice say from behind, "Ira, why dont we just tell our cousin the truth today? You dont have to be afraid of her anymore. Shes just an empty shell now!"

Not knowing which of Angies words stimulated Ira, he subconsciously straightened up, gaining some confidence.

Willow stood opposite them, her face turning cold as she watched their actions, "What do you mean by that?"

Seeing Willow ask her, Angie coquettishly smoothed her hair by her ear, "After表姐 became pregnant, she handed over the company to Ira. Have you checked the accounts since then? Weve transferred all the companys liquid funds abroad." Angie paused here, her lips curving up as she continued, "Under my name."

Willow ignored Angie and silently turned to look at Ira.

Ira was silent for a moment, then sat up from the ground, grabbed a nearby robe and put it on, walked to Willow, and his usual ingratiating expression slowly became somewhat resolute, "Its true."

Willows face showed no pain, only subconsciously she put her hand on her abdomen, "Why?"

Iras expression was somewhat ferocious, "Everything I have is given by you. I can never hold my head up in front of you. Everyone in York City knows you, Willow Thompson, capable of turning the tide and sensitive to business. When it comes to me, Ira Thompson, at most, they say Im the man who eats soft rice in Willows house!" Ira said, turning to Willow, "Do you understand? Im a man, and I have my ambitions and pride!"

Willows eyes were full of disappointment, "This is not a reason to betray me." Her gaze swept over the messy bed, her smile a little thin, "If it werent for me, you would have been carrying a huge debt all your life..."

"Shut up!" Ira furiously pointed at Willow, interrupting her, "Dont think you can blackmail me for life with these little favors!"

Willow looked at Ira in front of her, only feeling how strange his face was now. Back then, her own financial ability was not much, but she could resolutely take on ten million in debt for Ira, but in his mouth, it was just a little favor.

Thinking of this, Willow shook her head, "In that case, I have nothing more to say. The divorce agreement will be sent to you along with my lawyers letter." Willow had no strength to entangle with these people anymore, and the pain in her abdomen was getting more and more severe. But as soon as she turned to leave, Ira grabbed her wrist.

"Divorce? Ha, Willow, I think youve wanted to divorce me for a long time, right? How cant wait to throw yourself into his, Ethan Rivers arms?"

Willow looked at Ira in shock, "Me and Ethan Rivers? Ira, I think youre out of your mind!"

"Im out of my mind?" Ira viciously grabbed Willows hand and pulled her in front of him, "Everyone in York City knows North Willow, South Ethan Rivers, you two are everyones golden couple, a perfect match. Everyone looks at me, thinking Im a poor man wearing a green hat all day!"

"Ira, listen. Since you saved me seven years ago, Ive decided to love only you for my life, I..."

"Save you? Willow, are you crazy! The one who saved you back then wasnt me, it was Ethan Rivers!"

If theres anything that can really break Willow today, its Iras words. Willow never thought she would do such a stupid thing. She and Ethan Rivers were engaged back then, but after the accident, she thought Ethan Rivers had given up on her, so she not only broke off her engagement with Ethan Rivers but also has been competing with the Rivers family for so many years.

Willow shook her head, her eyes a little lost, "No way, when I woke up that year, I saw you clearly, how could it be Ethan Rivers? No way, I have to go and ask him clearly..."

Willow struggled to break free from Iras arms, and Ira was obviously angered by her actions. His expression became more and more hateful. Willow struggled fiercely, and he lost control for a moment, throwing her onto the bedside table.

The sharp corner of the table stabbed her abdomen, and Willow curled up in pain.

Ira obviously didnt expect this to happen. He stood there in a panic for a moment. Angie was the first to react to the situation. She quickly walked to Iras side, "What do we do now, should I call an ambulance?"

Ira didnt speak. Angie stamped her foot in anxiety and was about to take out her phone, but she didnt expect Ira to slap the phone out of Angies hand. Angie stood there in shock, looking at him in disbelief.

"We cant, we cant make that call. Even if shes an empty shell, we all know her的手段. If the child in her belly is gone because of me, she will definitely retaliate against me, and she wont be merciful!" Ira looked at the large pool of blood flowing from Willows legs and suddenly calmed down.

Iras gaze was tightly locked on Willow. She was already in too much pain to speak, but her eyes were full of pleading. This was the first time Ira saw her look at someone like this, "I cant leave her. If shes dead, the whole Thompson Enterprises will naturally become mine."
