Joana couldn't believe what she was doing right now. She was sitting in her car parked in front of a restaurant looking out the window. Like someone who has nothing to do. In fact, there was a meeting scheduled with a client about thirty minutes from now.A few moments ago, Joana accidentally caught Bill walking along with Miranda from behind. Feeling curious, Joana followed the two people secretly. For some reason, there was a feeling of displeasure in Joana's heart seeing Bill interact with his ex-wife again, especially when Bill seemed to open the car door for Miranda. Joana's feelings were getting hotter to see it.Therefore, Joana impulsively got into her own car and drove the vehicle to follow where Bill and Miranda went. Until finally, the stalking ended in front of a restaurant. Apparently Bill invited his ex-wife to have lunch together. Of course, this made Joana's feelings even more uncertain."I must be crazy," Joana muttered as she closed her eyes for a moment. Why would s
Although the day had passed, Joana was still feeling very uncomfortable. The memory of Bill walking hand in hand with Miranda kept flashing in her head. Joana was jealous, it was inevitable. Although Joana tried as much as possible to think sane and prioritize logic, but still her feelings dominated."Mom, today we have an important meeting with one of our overseas clients. It's scheduled in an hour. Mr. Bill will be accompanying you," Joana's secretary informed her.Joana nodded in understanding. She remembered the meeting and had asked Bill to accompany her long ago. However, yesterday's events had made her a little reluctant to meet with Bill. At least, until the turmoil in her chest subsided a bit.If today's client wasn't one of the most important clients, Joana might have asked her secretary to postpone the meeting. But she couldn't do that since there was a big project to be discussed with the client."Are you okay, ma'am? Your face seems a little pale?" Joana's secretary asked
Bill was stunned when he realized that the other day Joana saw him leaving with Miranda. He had to wonder, could Joana's sudden change in attitude in the past few days be because of that? Did Joana think that Bill was back in a relationship with Miranda?But even if that was the case, why did Joana have to keep her distance like now? Bill still didn't quite understand the situation. He wanted to assume that Joana had the same feelings as him, but he was afraid of thinking wrong. However, despite all that, it might be a good idea if Bill explained to Joana that he no longer had any relationship with Miranda. "Jo, when I get back from work, I'd like to stop by your apartment," Bill said when they finished their meeting outside.Joana who was walking immediately stopped her steps and turned to Bill with a surprised look on her face."What's the need?" asked Joana in a flat tone, even though she actually felt very happy."I have something to talk to you about and it's very personal, so i
Bill's eyes slowly blinked so that he could feel the dazzling light of the lamp penetrating his vision. The man then closed his eyes again with a slightly furrowed brow, enduring the dizziness that was currently so prevalent.Bill groaned. There was something odd about it. His mouth was sore and his voice was stifled. When he opened his eyes again, he realized that his current condition was very poor. Bill was now in an unfamiliar room with his body tied to a chair and his mouth gagged with a cloth.The heart's intention was to scream for help, but what came out of Bill's gagged mouth was again only a stifled moan like before."Oh, you're awake." A masked man then came and approached Bill. Followed by another man who also wore a mask.Bill squinted his eyes slightly at the two men. Now he fully understood the situation he was facing. He was being kidnapped, for whatever reason. "You must be wondering why we tied you up like this, right?" One of the masked men asked Bill, as if he kne
"What are you doing?" The masked man looked annoyed that Bill had made the floor dirty with broken glass.Reluctantly, the masked man cleaned up the broken glass scattered on the floor.Once again, Bill attempted to speak although what came out of his mouth remained an incoherent moan."Gosh, you're so chatty. Don't test your patience because it's not a good thing. You'd better not throw a tantrum," the masked man grumbled as he sat back down.Bill finally gave up. He leaned his head in annoyance and made no attempt to speak again. After all, if he was going to be fed later, surely the gag would be removed, right?Not long after, the other masked man returned with a plastic bag in his hand."Here's the food. You feed him!" the masked man exclaimed to his friend on guard as he placed the plastic bag on the table.The seated masked man got up and opened Bill's mouth gag. Instantly Bill felt completely relieved. He took several deep breaths through his mouth."I'm not going to scream lik
The next day, Bill was taken away by two masked men who kept him overnight, blindfolded. He was directed to get into a car and did not know where to go. The distance traveled was apparently quite far although Bill did not know the exact distance. What was clear was that the man had fallen asleep before finally arriving at a place.When Bill opened his blindfold, the first thing he saw was a small house surrounded by very dense trees. It seemed that now he was in the middle of the forest, very far from the city center."Come on, get in!" One of the masked men carrying Bill pushed Bill into the small house, then closed the door from the outside and locked it. Bill was locked in a house that was only the size of his apartment bedroom."As long as the DNA test results aren't in, you stay here. Don't try to escape if you want to survive. There's CCTV inside recording everything you do, so we'll know what you're up to." Bill could hear the warning voice echoing in the room. There seemed to
Joana ate her breakfast this morning with no appetite. She munched on her homemade toast while daydreaming. Her mind wandered back and forth, wondering where Bill was at the moment.Yesterday Joana had felt happy when Bill said he would come to her apartment room. Although she didn't know what Bill wanted to talk to her about, Joana thought they could clarify the relationship. Joana had even prepared a special dinner for Bill. Unfortunately, Bill didn't show up until midnight. He couldn't even be reached.At first, Joana felt upset. She thought maybe Bill was with Miranda and had forgotten about the appointment. But then, Joana doubted her own thoughts. She knew that Bill was not the type of person who would break a promise on purpose. Even if he failed to come to Joana's apartment room to see Miranda, Bill would at least give her the news.Joana had contacted Lee, Ginna and also Ronie, but they were all not with Bill, nor did they know where Bill was. Until finally, Joana was despera
Anne and Miranda finally sat down at a bus stop. Joana chose to stand behind the two women so she could hear their conversation clearly."How annoying! Cold weather like this, the bus doesn't come." Anne grumbled resentfully. The middle-aged woman seemed to be rubbing her own arms from the cold. The temperature was dropping as it was already winter."Never mind, ma'am. Stop nagging." Miranda responded to her mother's nagging."Don't tell me to shut up! I'm still annoyed with you. How could you spend all your precious things to give to that jerk Alan! Stupidly, you couldn't get Bill to come back to you!" Anne said loudly."Mom! Stop babbling nonsense. This is a public place." Miranda replied in a low tone, but her voice sounded furious.Joana who heard Anne's words frowned slightly. She was about to jump to conclusions, but tried to hear more to understand more."How can I not keep babbling, Miranda? You can't even take Bill's heart. Bill is so easy to persuade," Anne said."Bill has c
