When Stanley heard that it was about Roxanne, he unlocked his phone immediately. But what he saw next made his eyes turn bloodshot with rage.
In the video, a bodyguard, ignoring Roxanne’s struggles, had buried his head in her chest, as if… he were suckling on her breasts.
That was what Macy meant by helping her with lactation?
A tidal wave of regret and pain engulfed him.
Damn it! He had no idea what kind of suffering Roxanne was going through at the time, and he had
even used the video to threaten her.
“That bitch Macy! She must’ve planned to release this video all along, so Rox’s reputation would be
ruined! How dare she!”
Stanley clenched his fists tightly, feeling as if his heart were bleeding.
When Patrick heard Macy’s name, he immediately spoke up, “Mr. Frey, we’ve already arranged for the video to be taken down right away. As for Macy, do we need to teach her a lesson?”
Stanley looked up. “Find ten homeless men, and have them take turns helping with her lactation. Remember to film it. I want her to experience the same agony Rox went through!”
As soon as the words left his lips, he slapped himself across the face two more times.
He couldn’t even begin to imagine how hopeless Roxanne must’ve felt, and how much she must’ve
hated him.
As if wanting to punish himself, he played the video over and over again, watching Roxanne’s initial struggle give way to the hollow emptiness of despair in her eyes. Suddenly, he coughed up a large
mouthful of blood.
Besides Macy, he was the one who had pushed Roxanne into the abyss.
He knew exactly how severe Roxanne’s germophobia was, and yet he had believed Macy back then and allowed the bodyguard to violate Roxanne like that.
His stomach churned, and suddenly, his vision went black, and he collapsed,
In his dreams, he returned to the days when he and Roxanne were dating. Back then, when he had been too busy with work to eat, she would personally cook meals that looked incredibly appetizing, then deliver them to his office herself. She would even watch him, making sure he ate every bite.
Stanley struggled to wake up. His Roxanne was as resilient as a weed. There was no way she could possibly be dead.
But in the next second, he recalled how he had made his bodyguard drag her out of the hospital to

search for the baby right after she had just given birth, and how badly she had been injured after getting kidnapped.
What if… What if his negligence had led to Roxanne’s death? He would have to live in pain and regret for the rest of his life. The regret and heartache were all driving him to the brink of insanity.
He had always scoffed at all gods and religions, but now, he found himself praying at various monasteries and churches, begging the gods to keep Roxanne safe, even if it meant trading his own
life for hers.
After three days and three nights of searching, Stanley collapsed in a church. Only then did Louis and Sapphire hear the news.
When they found Macy locked in the room, her upper body was bare, her chest bruised and swollen,
and the rest of her clothes in disarray. She was also on the verge of starvation. Their hearts broke for this youngest daughter–in–law of theirs, and even more so for Stanley.
All of this was because of that bitch, Roxanne. Sapphire seethed in silence, thinking that Roxanne had better stay hidden, or the Frey family would be sure she died a miserable death.
Just as Louis mobilized his connections to continue the search for Roxanne, they received devastating news from the doctor–Stanley, their pride and joy, had been diagnosed with male infertility.
