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 23 Axel sat in the living room, knitting a scarf and also watching the news. The news of Jackson Dream getting arrested had already been aired and everyone in the city now knows. But Axel was not bothered about that, although it was a bit surprising to him that Jackson Dream would be a drug dealer even though he appeared as a judge to everyone. He was only focused on the scarf he was knitting. He was hoping one day he would meet the Lady he met at the store the other day again and he would give the scarf to her. It was cold that day but she was not putting on a jacket neither was she using a scarfSo he wanted to gift her the scarf. Or maybe he could call her. He grabbed his phone to do so but Andrew and Jason walked in, discussing about something and laughing. "What are you watching? News?" Andrew asked as he grabbed the remote "It's the news about Jackson Dream. I can't believe he is a drug dealer" Jason scoffed "He looks totally normal on the outside. Turns out he
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 25Jenny stormed out of Colin's house in anger,She didn't know why she was madWas it because he got drunk and had to make her go through all the troubles of lifting him on the couch and all? orWas it because he mistook her for Marissa.Whichever one it was, all she knows is that she is mad at him.She turned on her car and drove down the street in a very high speed.While driving, she thought of never visiting him again, at least until he gets over Marissa.But a part of her felt like he need her.She stopped in front of a cafe to buy herself coffee.After buying the coffee, she was on her way out when her shoulder collided with her man's arm.She lifted her eyes and saw a familiar face."You?" She gasped, her face which showed anger a second again suddenly brightened up"Jenny" Axel called"Wow, you even know my name?" She jeered"Of course, you told me the last time we met. Are you here to get yourself a cup of coffee?" Axel inquired"Yeah. I already did" she showed him t
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 27"What are you guys doing here?" Axel opened the door.For some reasons, Marissa felt relieved he came at that moment.Having sex in a storage room was never part of her plan."Axel, why are you here?" Martin moved away from Marissa"That question should be directed at you" Axel replied rudely"I don't know what you want but get out, I am discussing something with my wife" Martin replied back with the same tone."I wonder what you are discussing while holding each other like that in this holy place" Axel opened the door widely and leaned on itMartin arched his browHoly place?Come onIt's just an empty storage room."I am sorry but can you at least leave us for some minutes" He requested but Axel was adamant and won't even move an inch"Why should I? This is my aunt's company and I work here. If someone must leave, it should be you" Axel gagged.Marissa was quiet.What could she possibly say?She also wants Martin to leave but Axel was being disrespectful too."Marissa, ca
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
Chapter 29"This story sounds familiar" he looked at herJenny smiled, happy that he finally realize the story is about them."That's right Colin" she tucked her hair behind her ear "The story is .....""It is from a drama" Colin laughed "Was it a Kdrama? Or Hollywood? I don't know but it is definitely from a drama"Jenny's smile turned to a glareShe was talking about them but he is talking about drama?"So? What happened in the end? Did they end up falling in love? Of course they would! It's always like that in dramas. Shits like this don't happen in real life" Colin said, still laughing."Shits?" Jenny mouthedSo to him, friends falling in love is shitShe sighed as she picked up her purse and stood up"Where are you going?" Colin blinked"Where else? I am going back home""What? Isn't it too early?" Colin pointed at the wall clock"I have a lot of things to do in Islington. When someone knocks on the door, don't open it" Jenny advised as she walked to the door"Alright. Come early
