Lance woke up to the sound of the doorbell. At first, he was reluctant to answer, but then he was curious to know who was at the door at such an ungodly hour.He grumpily got off the bed and went to answer the door. He opened the door and blinked. "Rose?" His eyes fell on the bags with her. "what are you doing here with so many bags? It's not weekend yet.""You should have an idea already. I'm tired of Zade. He's not only annoying but selfish as well and very stingy. He has the money yet he wouldn't take care of me," she complained. "I see…" Lance trailed."I just hate him. He keeps making things harder for me. I can't take it anymore, which is why I've decided to leave him for good. I have been denying you because I thought something could happen between him and me. I wanted us to go back to the way it used to be, but with the money of course. I didn't plan to replay our stupid broken love here, but Zade is not even making things easy for me. I'm tired of putting up with him," she

Lance woke up to find Roselia already dressed. He rubbed his eyes sleepily and glanced at the clock. It was past 9 a.m."Where are you going this early?" He asked. "Early? I should be asking why you're still sleeping. Have you checked the time? It's almost ten," She told him. Lance groaned inwardly. Left to him, he would have slept in the whole day, but he had to keep up the charade. To avoid letting her know about the problem at the company, Lance resolved to play it cool and act like everything was normal, even though he was no longer CEO.Today was the meeting with the new chairman and Lance couldn't miss it for anything. He had so many questions regarding the new management and even researched for additional information.The meeting was by twelve which was why he was still in bed."I'll be going later, for now, I just want you to spend time with me," he replied."Right now?" He nodded. "Sorry babe, but I'm not sure that will be possible. My mom just called me to come home urgent

"Lance? You're back so early?" Roselia gasped. His eyes narrowed at both of them. "What pregnancy? Are you pregnant with another man? Your ex-husband?" He asked. Roselia glanced at her mother. She didn't want to ruin her chances with Lance, but at the same time telling him the truth would cause damages. "I asked a question, damn it! Are you pregnant for Zade?""I… I… the thing is…""She's not pregnant, okay. It was just a ploy to keep her beside Zade while he was with Elizabeth. She is not pregnant, alright? There is no need to be angry," Mrs Harper interrupted her. Lance's furious expression remained the same. It was then he realized that both he and Zade had been nothing but prawns in their quest for wealth. She pretended to be pregnant to trap Zade while she clung to him like he was the love of her life. All in all, she'd been nothing but a gold digger. He already had a hint about it and he was ready to overlook it, but this pregnancy issue coupled with the conspiracy at the

"I can't do it," she blurted as soon as he answered the call. The line was silent for the next five minutes."Lance? Can you hear me? Why are you silent?" Her voice cracked. A ball of nerves formed in her throat as she waited for him to reply."Lance? Lance…""Stop calling my name, I'm not fucking deaf!" He snapped and she shuddered. Another minute of silence followed. Her heart hammered against her as she waited for him to speak again. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead and without realizing it, she'd held her breath. "I knew you choosing me was too good to be true. You just needed to see Zade to realize your true feelings for him, right? It's all good."Lance's dismissal of the case was surprising. Roselua knew better than to rejoice. Surely the man had some sort of backup plan and she needed to buy Zade time to get his things and get out of the freaking country."Remember I chose you, right? It wasn't a rash decision or anything. You are the man I want to be with. I do not har

Several thoughts ran through Roaelia's mind at once. She wasn't a fool to think that Zade would run just because Lance set his house on fire. If anything, it would trigger him to fight back and she wasn't certain Zade could withstand Lance.Another thing was that the man whom she was made to believe was paralyzed lwalked into her room and carried her out in the middle of a fire. The same man took her to an ambulance without any form of struggle. As she sat across the ambulance, staring at him while the nurses bandaged the wound on his back. Although he avoided eye contact with her, she could see him burning with rage. Her own anger stirred from within her.Just as he stood up to leave, she ran after him and blocked him, ready to unleash her own fury."Get out of my way," he growled and she shoved him."No, I won't! Tell me, what right do you have to be angry? All you've ever done since I met you was lie to me. You lie about being jobless, you lie about being poor and the next yo
