Chapter 22Colin placed two glass cups on the table in his living room and poured wine in both while Marissa watched"You are full of surprises Colin" Marissa scoffed"Same with you. From spying on me and now barging into my house, you just keep surprising me" Colin glanced at her and dropped the bottle of wine before taking a seat"Fine. I sent a spy because I was so damn curious about you" Marissa grabbed her own cup of wine and took a sip"Curious about what?""I mean, you claimed to be a poor orphan when I first met you but now you have a house, a car and I heard you have been visiting expensive restaurants" Marissa dropped the cup of wine back on the table "And you even served me a very expensive wine""So?" Colin raised his brow"So I am curious to know where you have been getting this money, have you been lying to me all these while? Who exactly are you?" Marissa asked with a poker faceColin was mute for a whileProbably thinking of an answerHe can't tell her who he really i

Chapter 24Marissa took a cab back home, this time her mother's house, not martin's."Miss Marissa?" The maids greeted and also, they were surprised to see her back home.They thought she won't be visiting for sometime now that she is married and living with martin.She sat on the couch and rested her back as she was served a cup of wine."Marissa!!" Catherine yelled in excitement and ran to hug her.The noise made Andrew and Jason run out of their rooms."Marissa? Why are you here?" Jason asked"What do you mean why? This is my home after all" Marissa replied politely."That's right. It's so good to see you after many days, how is your new home?" Andrew asked as he and Jason also sat on the couch."It is so crazy. I am always bored since I am not allowed to go to work, the only thing I do is the house chores which can be exhausting sometimes" Marissa complained."So have you tried discussing this with Martin? How about you tell him to hire some maids" Catherine suggested"I would lov

Chapter 26 "Colin?" He heard a familiar voice. He looked up and saw his mother-in-law standing in front of him with folded arms "Mother". His jaw dropped. It really isn't his day Why in the world did he have to bump into her "Wait a minute....." Mrs Williams checked him out from head to toe"Are you really Colin?" Great!She is doubting if he is really Colin Maybe he could use that opportunityHe could deny he isn't Colin and run away "No, I am not Colin" he denied "Do you take me a for a fool or what?" Mrs Williams smirked "Why are you coming from that restaurant? You didn't get a job here, did you?" "No..." "Of course you didn't. We already made sure no one in this city employs you" Mrs Williams interrupted but still needed a good answer. Why in the world was he coming out from an expensive restaurant? "Well....that's just because, I...urm..." Colin stuttered Even though he moved out of her house and he divorced her daughter She still looked terrifying to him "Is

Chapter 28 "Let go of him" she pushed martin away with all the strength in her and held Colin who was slowly losing consciousness. "What is wrong with you?" She glared at martin "I told you to go home, didn't I?" Martin yelled back at her "So you can do this? You were strangling him" Marissa was furious Colin finally regained his consciousness, coughing "Jeez. I almost died" he heaved a sigh of relief Thankful he is still alive "Jenny are you okay?" He asked Jenny who looked startled ever since Martin pushed her away "Yeah, I am fine" she regained back her voice "I can sue him for attempted murder, right?" Colin asked and Jenny nod as a reply"How many years will he use in prison?" "under section 1(1) of the Criminal Attempts Act 1981, attempted murder is an indictable offence which carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment, the same as the mandatory sentence for murder" Jenny explained "You heard that, right?" Colin turned to Martin "I might as well make you spend th

Said Emerald, taking off her shoes Of course, he isn't.It's an obvious question even Emerald knows the answer to"When are you leaving?" Colin folded his arms"I leave anytime I want to" Emerald replied "Where is my room?" She asked but Colin gave no reply"Nevermind. I will look for it myself""You can't just come here the way you like""Why can't I? The house is mine too""Says who?"
