Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim by Dream Fish

Nigel never expected Angela to be this determined—at the very least, her perseverance was commendable.

By the time Dexter arrived, Angela was already battered and bruised. With clenched teeth, she desperately tried to fight back, but she was blocked time and time again. It was downright tragic to watch.

"Dexter, you have to talk some sense into her!" Fiona pleaded anxiously.

Watching Angela get knocked down over and over again made her wince just from witnessing it.

Dexter's face was dark with frustration. He stared intently at the bruised Angela on the training ground, unable to vent his anger and frustration.

What right did he have to stop her? The more he tried to talk sense into her, the more stubborn she became, and the more she would deliberately go against him. She didn't even see herself as a woman anymore-she was acting like a lunatic. "Why would I do that? Let her suffer." Dexter scoffed coldly, turning away.

At first, everyone around Angela tried to dissuade her from this reckless endeavor, believing it to be an impossible challenge.

But over time, they realized that Angela's determination was unwavering. No matter how many times she got knocked down, she would always struggle back to her feet. It was almost obsessive.
