Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 2

As soon as Sharon finished speaking, Stanley turned to look at her and narrowed his eyes.

"What did you say?"

The man had a pair of fierce eyes with straight eyebrows. His prominent facial features gave an indescribably strong sense of oppression.

Holding the mug tightly, Sharon suddenly regretted saying it out loud. She swallowed and shook her head. "No, nothing. I didn't say anything."

She said those words because she thought he really liked Jewel.

The ringtone of a mobile phone suddenly rang. It was Stanley's phone.

When he bent down to take the mobile phone from the table, Sharon took a casual glance and saw the caller ID.

It was Jewel Russell.

Stanley answered, "Hello."

She didn't know what the person on the phone said, but Stanley's expression changed. "Stay at home. I'll be there right away."

After that, he ended the call and glanced at Sharon. "I have something to do. Have a good rest."

Sharon nodded repeatedly. "Go ahead. Don't let her wait too long."

Stanley threw a glance at her with his deep eyes.

"What was wrong?"

"Was there something wrong with her face?" she wondered.

The man sized her up as if he was analyzing her. The stare made Sharon feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, he pushed the door open and went out without saying anything.

Sharon heaved a long sigh.

She was free.

She was left alone in the bedroom. Without any restraint, she hummed a song and went to the bathroom to take a bath. Halfway through the bath, she immediately climbed out of the bathtub as if she had thought of something.

"What the f**k!"

She almost forgot to take the pills.

Birth control pills.

The man had ejaculated inside her. She didn't want to be pregnant before she finished her studies.

Only a few people knew that she was secretly married to Stanley.

It was Stanley's grandfather, Master Jones, who determined the marriage of her and Stanley. Sharon had the right to refuse, but the conditions given by the Jones Family were too good for her to refuse. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Her father was admitted to the hospital, and she needed a lot of money every month for his hospitalization. There was no one to help her except the Jones Family, hence, she had to agree to marry Stanley.

Her father's life depended on the Jones Family's financial support.

At Charming Hills Apartment.

After getting rid of the broken glass on the ground, Anthony Charles checked all the windows and door locks. After confirming that they were all safe, he came to the living room and said to the man standing on the balcony, "Mr. Jones, the surveillance and security devices have been installed."

Stanley nodded and said, "You can leave now."

Anthony left.

Jewel came to the balcony in a bathrobe and said softly, "Thank you for coming here so late. It was so scary just now. My fans have always been crazy, but I didn't expect that they would be so bold to break into my house!"

Stanley waved at her and said, "Come here."

Jewel was delighted and her heart fluttered. His facial features were deep and charming under the moonlight. She walked slowly to him and said," Stanley..."

Before she finished her words, her chin was lifted. "Did you ask reporters to take those photos on the news?"

His movements were gentle, but his words sent chills down Jewel's spine. "What did I tell you five years ago?"

Jewel's palms were sweaty. "You... you'll give me anything I want, but I can't cross your line."

This was what the man said to her five years ago.

This man was horribly powerful. In just three years, he used all kinds of resources to turn her from a nameless nobody into a big star.

Her current wealth, status, popularity, and everything were given by this man.
