Became A Queen After divorce

She moved so lightly, yet he still noticed…

After being caught, Cheyenne didn’t feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she confidently said, “I didn’t steal a kiss. I did it openly. You’re my husband, so nothing I do to you is too much! Am I right?”

Her proud words reached Kelvin’s ears, making him laugh heartily. “Of course, you’re right.”

Kelvin always belonged to Cheyenne!

The harmonious and sweet atmosphere between the couple lasted until dinner time when it changed.

The man sat on the blanket with a sorrowful expression, unable to accept that the shells he had collected had turned into a dish.

“Can’t these really be made into a necklace?” he asked, glancing at the pile of shells in the trash, feeling tempted to try.

Cheyenne placed a clam in his bowl and ate with relish. “Give it up. It’s more practical to eat them. Try the stir-fried clams I made.”

Kelvin was disappointed that their crafting project wasn’t completed. However, he had helped by passing a bowl while Cheyenne cooked, so it could be considered as cooking together, right? In this way, his day wasn’t entirely wasted.

In a private villa in Taswya, the European-style decor was luxurious, with golden ornaments everywhere showcasing the owner’s wealth.

When the Filipino maid entered to serve tea, she saw a woman lying on the floor and felt a pang of pity. Unfortunately, as a powerless servant, she couldn’t help her.

“Young master… the coffee is here.”

“Leave! You’re an eyesore.”

“Yes, yes…”

The maid hurriedly left with the empty tray, but not before casting a curious glance at the woman.

Ruth was dressed in a revealing black and white maid outfit, the hem barely covering her hips. Her exposed thighs were covered in bruises and burn marks.

Lord Parker treated her like a dog, chaining her neck to the wall, restricting her movement to the hall. When hungry, he threw leftovers on the floor for her; when thirsty, she drank from the fish tank.

This time was no different. After taking a sip of coffee and finding it not to his taste, his face darkened with anger. “It’s too hot.”

Ruth trembled with fear upon hearing this, knowing she was in trouble again. As expected, Lord Parker yanked the chain to summon her. “My dog, come blow on my coffee.”

“Yes.”

As a “dog,” she had to adopt a dog’s posture. Ruth crawled on all fours to his feet and knelt down. Carefully picking up the coffee cup, she blew on it gently. Even as her fingers turned red from the heat of the ceramic cup, she didn’t dare let go. Blowing softly, tears welled up in her eyes but she didn’t cry.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“Master… the coffee is ready. Please enjoy.”

Ruth respectfully offered the coffee with both hands, holding it aloft for a long time without any response from Lord Parker. Curiosity got the better of her, and she glanced up to meet his intense gaze. Startled, her hands shook, spilling some coffee.

“Tsk tsk, you dare waste the coffee I bought at great expense? What? Do you want to drink it too?”

“No, no, I wouldn’t dare.”

“You don’t want to drink? Is it because you think the coffee tastes bad or because you think I’m treating you poorly?”

With disdain, he lifted her chin with his shoe, forcing her to look at him. Ruth’s face turned pale, her fragile appearance only fueling his sadistic tendencies.

“Wretch! Speak! Do you want a beating?”

As he spoke, he reached to unbuckle his belt.

“No, no! I want to drink it. The master’s coffee smells wonderful; I like it very much.”

She desperately wanted to avoid the pain of being whipped again; each beating left her feeling as if her bones were splitting apart.

Lord Parker was pleased with her obedience and smirked. “Good dog. Here, this coffee is your reward!”

He maliciously knocked over the cup, spilling its contents on the floor, then forced Ruth’s head down to lick it up.

Humiliation and resentment…

Ruth’s tears had long dried up. To survive, what did it matter if she acted like a dog?

She closed her eyes and slowly extended her tongue. “Delicious. Thank you for your reward, Master!”

“Good girl. Now your master has something even better for you.”

“Yes.”

…

After venting his anger, Lord Parker kicked Ruth away and quickly put his pants back on. Still unsatisfied and increasingly frustrated, he grabbed Ruth and slapped her twice before kicking her in the stomach.

“You useless dog! Wouldn’t it be better if I replaced you with the lady of the Gilliam family?”

“Please master, don’t hit me… I’ll try harder.”

More bruises appeared on Ruth’s body; she could no longer feel pain and instinctively begged for mercy.

“No need. I’m not interested in you anymore.”

“Do you want freedom?”

His words reignited a flicker of hope in Ruth’s heart; her eyes lit up instantly. She licked her dry lips.

“I do!”

Desperately!

The next moment, Lord Parker threw a phone in front of her and laughed coldly like a demon. “Then call Pearl now! If you can lure her here to take your place as my dog, I’ll set you free.”

“Let Pearl… take my place…”

His words struck a chord with Ruth; she was deeply tempted.

“Yes! She’s the one who ruined me; shouldn’t Pearl bear the main responsibility? You are just my punching bag.”

Lord Parker coaxed her gently. In reality, he didn’t need to try hard; this woman already harbored intense jealousy.

Jealousy is the root of all evil.

She would definitely agree to his terms, wouldn’t she?

Indeed, Ruth picked up the phone without hesitation. “Okay, I agree.”

For nothing else but to let Pearl experience what it felt like to be bullied!

Weren’t they best friends?

Meanwhile, Pearl left Red Maple Villa with Sasha; today she would personally see Giana and Esteban off.

At the bustling station, Pearl’s beautiful appearance drew many admiring glances; coupled with Sasha by her side, their striking looks earned them the nickname “fairy mother and daughter.” People mistakenly thought Sasha was her daughter.

Sasha was also reluctant to part with Esteban; she had visited him every day recently. The sudden farewell was too much for young Sasha to bear without tears.
