Fear washed down her face, leaving her skin looking pale like someone who lacked blood, or a person who had been sick for a long period of time.After many trials, she finally recognized the voice. It was Stephanie, Jayden's ex-girlfriend.She could not say a word, her voice suddenly ceased. It was as though the wind blew past her swept her hair to its rhythm, and took away her voice.There were several questions she wanted to ask her, and many things she wanted to say, but her voice failed her. Just when she found the voice to speak, Jayden was behind her. She didn't even hear his footsteps, nor did she feel his presence.She quickly hung up, staring at him in shock, as though she had seen a ghost. She was glad that she was left speechless, else Jayden would have caught her because what she wanted to tell Stephanie would have exposed her.He would have questioned her, and she was not sure if she could hide it from him again. She determined in her heart that if Jayden asked her again

It didn't seem like Jayden wanted to bring Carina to meet his father, so Fernando decided to come to see her himself.He didn't inform anyone of his coming, so it was quite surprising that she ran out of the house to meet them. However, it warmed his heart to see her run towards him like a little child, coming to welcome his father."Yes, sir. My name is Carina Bartholomew," she introduced, stretching her hand for a handshake.Fernando, however, drew her in for a hug. He was so happy for the woman Jayden found—beautiful, humble, and respectful.Lukas turned to the other side of the car, where they stood.Carina recognized him, but she was not quite sure of the place she met him. All she knew was that she had seen him before."Good morning, sir," she greeted, wearing a smile on her face."Hello, Carina. It's nice to see you again," he said, "we met at the company some days after you started working there," he added, seeing that she was finding it difficult to remember him."Oh! I was

Carina was happy that she was able to convince Jayden to do the marriage soon, with the help of her father-in-law.After they left, she went to meet Jayden in his room to fulfill her part of the promise. When she went in, Jayden was lying on the bed, busying his fingers on the phone. He glanced at the door and saw her standing there.He kept on doing what he was doing until she was close to him. "Are you okay?" He asked, not looking away from his phone.She sat beside him on the bed with a serious expression."Can we talk, please?" She requested, and he peered an inquisitive stare at her. She looked serious, and he wondered what she wanted to talk about. He sat up, keeping his phone away."What's the problem?" He questioned, sitting upright with a worried look."I know you don't like talking about this, but I just want you to—""It's about him, isn't it?" He said, already looking uninterested in whatever she had to say.She knew he would act this way, so she quickly placed her hand

Sonia had gotten a call from Alex last night, inquiring about their discussion. She hated to lie to Alex, and she knew that she sucked a lot at lying.Since it was over a phone call, she was able to lie to him, because she didn't have to look at his face.He didn't believe her, so he said he would meet her at CR Restaurant, so they could talk. It didn't make sense to him that what he heard that night kept leading him on to what Jayden told him.Sonia took out her phone and called Alex. She was panicking, seeing that Carina was a few miles away from her, talking to a stranger."Hello, where are you?" She said, immediately he answered the phone."I'm at the parking—""Don't park the car, drive out now. I'll meet you in front of the restaurant," she replied sharply, rushing out of the restaurant to wait for Alex.She kept her eyes on Carina, and she was about to enter the vehicle, following the stranger.Alex stopped right in front of Sonia, who jumped in immediately, without a care to

The audience gasped in shock. Just a while ago, he was the happiest groom, who could not wait to see his bride, and now, he was calling off the wedding.He didn't pay attention to the murmurings coming from the people. He stepped down, slowly walking towards Carina.Each step he took closer to her made her feel like she was meeting her doom. She glanced at the envelope in his hand, it looked like the same envelope she saw yesterday when she met Nathan."Jay, please, I can explain," she muttered, trying hard to calm him down, but the rage in his eyes didn't seem to become tender.Rather, it seemed like her plea made him more furious. Just a couple of steps away from her, he stopped. His eyes never left her, as though she was going to disappear if he even blinked an eye."You suddenly want to explain now, hm?" He started, "Explain what, exactly? That you are not a virgin? That you lied to me? Or, that you had an ugly past which you hid from me in the guise of being a good woman!" He hu
