The next day, Liana woke up only to become a shadow of herself. She sat up tiredly, her eyes meeting with her alarm which she had set to wake her up early but to her surprise, she had slept past the time."It's noon already?" She exclaimed, dashing out of the bed as he headed towards the washroom only to find Richard coming out of the bathroom half naked. Liana was stunned to see the manly physique of her husband, the way water dropped from his hair and his hard chest made her drool. Richard noticed her hard gaze on his as he let out a low laugh. "Pttf! You're gonna leave a hole in my chest if you don't stop staring.""Huh?" She blinked twice to jolt herself back to reality. "Oh! When the you come back and where did you sleep last night?""Why do you wanna know about my whereabouts? I slept here." Richard said running his fingers through his silky inky black hair.Liana couldn't focus on what he was saying as she was distracted by his appearance. She had to turn around, clenching her
Liana's eyes shook in disbelief when she found photos of her kissing Larry, recalling that moment, she found out it was the day she asked her to choose between his money and that of Chris. "Fuck, someone took these photos of us? But how?" She bit her fingers, tapping them on her table nervously as she continued staring at the pictures.She found another photo of her following Larry from behind. "This supposed to be the reverse, that guy was tailing me." She yelled, hitting her fist on her table.The buzzing sound of her phone disrupted her angry state as she checked the caller ID but it was an unknown caller. Answering the phone, a familiar voice resounded in her ears making her crumble the pictures in her hands. "You, bloody bastard.""Hey, what's with the swears?" Larry sounded so pitiful over the phone making her want to curse him more.Does he not know about the pictures? Secret camera? Why was the photo on her desk anyway? Did Richard happen to...? What!? No way! She thought, for
"I guess you just be enjoying your stay here," Chris said as he plucked a rose from the garden, hiding it behind his back as he faced his asian step-grandmother.Yue Wang was enjoying Chris's company as they walked around the garden, her blonde hair following the rhythm of the breeze as she inhaled the fresh scent of the flowers. "I like it here. This place seems to be more lively than my father's house in China."Chris chuckled. "You made this place more lively. You see, I was alone here until you came.""What about the cold and hefty guy? I mean...""Coldie?" Yue Wang let out hysterical laughter at the mention of Coldie's name. "What sort of name is that?" She laughed.Chris's gaze was locked on her face as he couldn't help but laugh at her sense of humor. "I know right, but grandfather gave him that name. His actual name is Cosmos.""Oh, I see. Doesn't Cosmos keep you company?" Chris shook his head, "He doesn't, he's cold as an ice block but now that you're here, I guess I won't
During the cool evening, Liana continued pacing back and forth in the sitting room. The brown envelope and divorce paper were still in her hands as her maid announced dinner being served but Liana refused to eat. The maid out of worry tried to force her mistress to eat but Liana yelled at her and stormed out of the house, driving to a place only she knew about and that place was the bar.Larry was enjoying his drink when he heard the bell ring as he turned around and saw Liana examining everywhere, he guessed she was probably looking for him and waved at her as a signal."There he is." She gritted her teeth as she walked up to him, throwing the photos in his face and the divorce papers on his table. "Happy now?"Larry raised his brow at her as he took the photos, glancing at them nonchalantly. "You think I was the one who hired a stalker to take the photos?"Liana scoffed, folding her arms. "No, my husband did that instead and you see, he wants a divorce." She said gesturing him to lo
Tension hung in the air as the duo on the bridge kept gazing deep into each other's eyes, lost for words at the moment. Liana found awkward they were together even without making any final discussion about them working together or not and before she could say anything, Larry pulled her in for a kiss, grabbing her waist as he devoured her lips, crashing his lips against her as she held his back, tilting her head, savoring the kisses.After some seconds, Liana pulled out from the kisses, his blue-like eyes, lingering deep into her soul as she found him more mysterious. "Don't look at me like that," Liana said, clearing her throat as she released herself from his embrace, clearing her throat as she tucked her hair behind her ears nervously."How am I looking at you?" He said appearing in front of her as he held her chin firmly, stealing a kiss from her before walking away.A blush crept up her cheeks as she felt hot even when it was windy. Seeing him walking away from her, she yelled an
After a week, the chairman still didn't come home making Yue Wang worried to the core. She kept pestering Coldie to give the chairman a call but the latter bluntly told her that the chairman wouldn't want to be disturbed while he was away."But Christopher's accession as the CEO of RIC CORPORATION is in two days." Yue Wang said worriedly."I know that ma'am, and the chairman will handle it anyhow he can please don't be worried. He's fine." Coldie said before leaving her presence.Yue Wang sat on the couch with a long-expression on her face. Chris was passing by, eating an apple with another in his hand."Perfect timing." He muttered to himself as a satisfactory look was plastered on his face but disappeared immediately after he found out she was sitting all alone sulking away in sadness. Chris hurriedly walked up to her sitting beside her as he tried to find out what was with her dad's mood. "What's wrong, Miss Yue?"Yue noticed his presence and wiped the tears from her eyes, forcing
Both Larry and Liana were having the best of time together and Liana felt less lonely as she had already found someone she shared a common goal with. Larry effortlessly made her feel comfortable around him and he saved her from time to time when she was in trouble and when she felt lonely not without getting a reward from her Liana didn't mind since granting him the reward was what she loved most.Larry got to know the kind of person Liana was, open-minded and insecure, and greed and selfishness were something that wasn't far from noticing but he had to put that aside since using her would help her accomplish his goals. The thoughts about signing the divorce papers started lingering in her mind as she was sitting all alone in the dining room after her maid had cleared the table. Her eyes were fixed on the divorce papers in front of her a she thought solely whether to sign them or not. She still felt Richard was still her husband and thought maybe he didn't think it through before ask
Richard paid for the drinks they had and ordered a cab for his colleagues as he headed back to his car, a reminisce of the man's face lingered in his mind as he opened the piece of paper to read its contents. He was almost startled to death as the paper seemed to be a bloody note, written with blood that was a threat for him to stay far from Liana and the only person he suspected to have written this was the man Liana was seeing behind his back which made his desires for the divorce grow even more as he made withheld his urge and dialed Liana's number which she answered without haste."Oh my god, Richard you lied about changing your number. I've been having sleepless...""Have you signed the divorce papers?" He asked, cutting her words short from her mouth.Liana hesitated. Does this mean he wants a divorce? "Richard I don't want you to regret this later on that's why I'm still hanging onto it."Richard let out a low laugh. "Your useless boyfriend threatened me to stay away from you u
