Eight years ago, Emilia was the one who sent her husband off on the train headed for the battlefield!
However, three days later, because of her father's greed for stealing money from the company, their entire family got kicked out.
This was not all. She was pregnant at that time, and the company decided to place a ban on her. It prevented other companies from hiring her.
In just one night, she turned from Miss Davis, the goddess of the business world in Colorado, to a beggar who lived on the street.
But then, she did not lose hope!
In order to wait for the man to return with victory from Indiana, she took in all the insults and humiliation.
It didn't matter if she lost her only income. With her huge belly, she picked up trash in order to pay for milk powders for her little girl who was about to be born.
Things only got worse for them. They might be broke, but they could still make a living. However, because her daughter got sick, the entire family became devastated.
Just when she was devastated, George Johnson, who had been eyeing her because of her looks, gave a 'helping hand'.
The only thing that she had to do was to put on short dresses like the rest of the girls and work as a waitress in the Blue Sea Entertainment Club.
Although she knew that George Johnson was up to no good, this job that she was most ashamed of did bring her the money she needed.
During those times, there had been more than once when this monster tried to get her and tempted her into doing things that are out of line, she always managed to escape it by threatening to kill herself.
"B….boss, let me pour you a glass of wine!"
She still had to force a smile on her face!
If her man was still alive, wouldn't it be great?
However, it had already been eight years, but she heard nothing from him. Was he still alive?
She was about to break!
She couldn't take this anymore!
"Wine?"
"That won't be necessary!"
George Johnson was filled with rage, and he scoffed, "Sit here!"
He must get his hands on Emilia and let out all of the anger inside him!
"Ahhhhhh….."
Emilia bit her lips. She couldn't reject him; so, she spoke gently, "You….you are my boss, and I work for you. There's a difference in our positions. I should stand to show my respect for your status!"
Since when did she become such a fake person?
She was deathly afraid but she still had to be respectful!
Life had indeed forced her to turn into someone she hated most.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAH..."
George Johnson stood up and teased her, "Indeed, Miss Davis. You are an experienced one who knows how to use pretty words!
"You're right. I am your boss, and you are just my b*tch!
"Now, I am telling you to sit down!"
He wanted to break Emilia's pride that was still buried deep inside.
In fact, Emilia had the thought of turning around and leaving.
However, when she thought of her daughter, she lost all courage to run.
"I told you to sit!
"Do you think that you're still the almighty Miss Davis? The goddess loved by everyone in Colorado?!"
George Johnson's face looked hideous as he screamed, "Finish this drink, and I will give you 10 thousand immediately!
"Is that enough?"
"That little sh*t has to go to the hospital soon, right?
"You are her mother after all!"
The drink had been spiked!
Although this was the worst thing he could do, he only cared about getting this woman. It was still better than the both of them staring at each other!
After all, he wasn't a gentleman anyways!
George Johnson only had the drop-dead figure in his eyes but the only thing that Emilia could see was the stack of cash that could prolong Olivia's life!
As she thought about it, her body trembled. In the end, she decided to give up on her ego and sat on the couch!
But, she still kept her distance from George Johnson. Then, Emilia's long, skinny finger reached toward the glass of red wine.
She was still struggling hard deep inside!
"Are you still thinking about that man?!
"He is already dead!
"As long as you promise to send the little b*tch to the orphanage and marry me, I will give you a million dollars so that you can save that wild child's life!
George Johnson had an evil laugh hanging on his face as he continued insulting Emilia, "What do you think?"
Each word that came out of his mouth was like a sharp knife driven into Emilia's heart.
She felt lost!
Oliver Walker...
Did something really happen to him?
The man once promised that as soon as the battle finished, he would spend the rest of his life with her!
"No!!!!!"
Then, her husband's face appeared in her mind, and Emilia stood up immediately. She was firm as she screamed, "He is a hero who fought for the country. A strong, sturdy man. He would not have died!"
Perhaps to the others, she was a tough woman.
But, who would have thought that it was all a lie?
She was only a woman after all!
Oliver Walker's promise was the only reason why she was willing to withstand all these humiliations. It was how she survived until today!
How…..how could he lie to her?
"Hahahahahaha..."
George Johnson laughed out loud, "If he isn't dead, where is he now?
"When you were cornered by Davis, where was he?
"When you were picking up trash while you were pregnant, where was he?
"When that little sh*t got sick and needed money for the surgery, where was he?"
All of these were true!
All of his words were like knives being thrust into Emilia and the strong facade that she had built around her soft heart!
She was about to lose it!
She can't do this anymore!
She just wanted to cry out loud!
Emilia did not know what to say. She felt lost, and her body turned weak. It caused her to fall onto the couch. She had no more energy left in her.
"Just take this, and your daughter will be able to live!"
George Johnson had an evil look in his eyes. He picked up the glass and tempted Emilia with it, "One glass of wine would bring you 10 thousand dollars!"
"You should think about it carefully!"
One glass of wine!
Ten thousand dollars!
As long as she got this money, she would be able to pay for Olivia's stay at the hospital.
There were tears in Emilia's beautiful eyes. Her hands were shaking, and she swallowed all of her pride.
This was for her little girl. She…..
She had already run out of choices!
"Drink it!"
"Quickly!"
"As long as you finish it, you will get ten thousand!"
"..."
Emilia's mind went blank and there was only one voice in her head that made it impossible for her to turn down such a tempting offer.
She picked up the glass and slowly brought it to her mouth...
As he looked at the scene unfold, George Johnson's smile grew deeper. With this glass of wine, even the woman with the strongest will would soon become his toy within 10 minutes!
Boom – –
Right at that moment, the door of the VIP room was kicked open!
Oliver Walker's eyes turned cold when he saw what happened inside the room.
This room was located on the highest floor, a private space for George Johnson, so there were no guards outside, and it also explained why no one saw Oliver Walker!
"WHO?!"
George Johnson turned around and shouted, "Do you want to ... die?!"
Then, his eyes met with Oliver Walker and he immediately felt frightened!
This devil…..how did he get here?
"Hubby..."
On the other hand, the woman who was about to drink the wine, couldn't control her emotions any longer!
The longing!
The excitement!
The resentment!
...
There was a mix of emotions, but all of them exploded at the same time as tears rolled down her cheeks!
She had been waiting for 8 long years!
Just when she was about to lose herself, this man who promised that he would come back to her after the battle and spend the rest of his life with her…..
Had finally returned!
