“Oh, Simon, I missed you so much.” I listened as Jenna muttered in her sleep and I felt as if my heart was shattering as I stared at her.I was taken aback, stunned but I couldn’t possibly allow my pain to get the best of me as I stared at Jenna’s sleeping figure on his bed.Hearing her mention another man’s name just after we had finished having sex was a little too much for me but I only managed to smile wryly and covered her up with my blanket.I held off my pain as my smile grew wider and I slightly kissed Jenna’s forehead before getting out of the bed and leaving the room.I know very well that Jenna had a first love, a man she loved so much that she would never think of betraying him, called Simon and I also knew that she never loved me but it still hurts.It hurts to be with someone who doesn’t acknowledge you.A knot tightened deep in my stomach and I felt as if someone had driven a really sharp knife through my heart, leaving it there and letting me bleed out.Gently, I close

Simon’s face turned pale, his palm started letting out so much sweat as he tried to think of something to say.A huge part of me felt like I already knew the reason he left, being with Jenna at that moment of her coma was a pain and so he took the easy way out.He ran away.“And what exactly is your business with that?” Simon quickly said defensively as he looked around nervously and I couldn’t help but manage a small smile.“It’s none of my business,” I responded coolly, “I just want to know why you ran away when you claim you love her, it just doesn’t make any sense.” I added.Simon stiffened, I could see and hear his teeth gritting as he glared at me with blazing eyes, “that’s because my sisters forbade me to get close to Jenna and forced me to go abroad.”“I would never have left Jenna because she’s the love of my life, I lost my chance to marry her and that’s why she ended up with a pauper like you but now that I’m back, she’s mine.” Simon finished.I didn’t say anything, I only

Blowing open the trash bag, I watched as Lisa’s eyes beamed with so much happiness and even though there was an underlying disgust, I was sure that she felt happy.She had probably been waiting for a chance to humiliate me like this and now that she has gotten it, a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.“Poor, useless bastards like you have no right using a branded suitcase.” She sneered as she wrapped her arms around her chest but I didn’t say anything.My teeth gritted, the humiliation was clawing at me like talons, reminding me time and time again that all these while, I was nothing to the Nelson family.I was only a tool for them to let out all of their frustrations on and as much as it hurts deep in my heart, I endured it all since I was going to be leaving very soon.The sound of an approaching footsteps caused me to lift up my head and that was when I saw that Jenna had walked into my room.Shoving all of my pain aside, I let out a cynical smile as I shook my head and the t

“Wh— What? What’s going on? I’m not—”“It’s an honor to finally meet you, young master.” The old man interrupted before I could finish talking.He bowed in front of me and I couldn’t help but feel like I’d been thrown into a world of dreams. All my life, I’ve never had someone bow to me before.Even back in Jenna’s house, the maids and servants never respected. They spoke to me like I was nothing but a trash bag, they treated me even worse.Seeing this gentleman bow in front of me made me both shocked, confused and utterly uncomfortable.“Who are you and please don’t bow to me.” I quickly said, the words rushing out of my mouth as if I had something incredibly hot burning my mouth.“I have to bow to you, young master, you’re my master,” the man said politely as he finally raised his head and placed his hand on his chest.“My name is Alfred Weston, I'm a butler of the Cavendish family and your sister has put me in charge of looking after Mrs. Winkle here.” He explained.There they go a

The butler soon came inside the living room to join me and when he clapped his hands, lots of maids came outside and my jaw dropped.“Welcome, Young Master Zade.” They all said in unison as they bowed in front of me. My heart thumped, I had no idea what to do with so much fame.These people are bowing to me, showing me so much respect than I’m usually used to and it’s all happening so fast that I was starting to feel dizzy.“They’ll show you to your room and make sure that you’re settling in well.” Alfred said and before I could say anything, one of the maids was already inviting me.Two of the maids led me up the stairs and there I realized that there was another sitting room but it was a more private one and was only used by the family.There was also a private swimming pool and a private lounge that none of the maids are allowed to enter and soon, I was led to a really big room.It was the biggest bedroom of all the bedrooms that the maids had shown me, it had a king size bed and i
