He had gone to the hospital to see him yesterday and immediately he told him that he was getting his marriage registered today, he was so happy. He even looked like he had gotten a lot better since that incident. Monroe rolled his eyes. He won't fall for this woman's tricks. "What nonsense are you talking about? You are the one who wanted to get married so badly! You said to get it done and over with! We were supposed to meet in front of registry today. I kept calling you but you wouldn't pick up. I had to come here!" Monroe said.He was really starting to get frustrated. What does this woman think that she is doing right now? Is she playing some kind of tricks on him? She is the one who couldn't wait to get married to him! He looked at her well now. She was wearing only a nightgown. Was she still sleeping? Monroe looked away from her at once. "Go get dressed. I really don't have time to waste standing around here with you. Like you said, we are both busy people. We should get this do
Just as she said, Lena drove Brenda to Monroe's house. But she left as soon as she dropped her off. Brenda entered the house. It wasn't locked at all. Maybe he left it open for her? Anyway thieves won't be able to get in here anyway. The place is a highly guarded Villa with heavily guarded estates in it. This kind of property, it must be worth millions.Brenda entered the house and sat on the sofa. There was no one else in the house. Brenda decided to wait for him, soon, she fell asleep on the sofa.When Monroe got home, it was already late. Very late. Immediately he entered the house, he saw the woman sleeping on the couch sleeping. Subconsciously, Monroe moved closer to her.Now that he was looking at her, she looked more and more like that girl. Seeing her sleeping face like this, if she had not told him those things herself, he would have been convinced that she was her.He reached out his hand and touched her face. But her eyes snapped open at once. "What are you doing?" She aske
Monroe scoffed. Love? As if that is ever going to happen between him and Lorena. He won't even fall in love with her. In this life, he has already given all of his love to that girl. As long as it's not her, he won't be able to fall in love with someone else."What nonsense are you talking about? Are you saying that you came back because you heard that I got married?" Monroe asked him.Ryder rolled his eyes. "Of course I did! Do you know how shocked I was when I heard that you were going to get married? And then yesterday, I saw the news about you getting married! Of course I have to come back and see for myself! Your grandfather tried so hard to get you married but you refused because of that girl. So, have you completely forgotten about her now?" Ryder asked Monroe.He really felt sorry for his friend. He has spent so much time looking for and waiting for one person. Like his grandfather, Ryder did not believe that she was alive. It's already been so long, and according to what M
Rita looked at Brenda. Does she even know what she is talking about? Clearly she does not know who Monroe Hakon is. That is why she thinks that it's going to be easy for her to fool the man. "You have got to be kidding me Brenda.""Do you really not know who Monroe Hakon is? He is the CEO of Helian Group! The cold and ruthless CEO of Helain Group! He has never let go of anyone who tried to get in his way.""Once he finds that you dared to do something like this to him, he won't let you go at all. Why did you do this? Of all the people that you could choose to play Monroe Hakon?! Don't you really know who that man is? Do you think that he's someone that you will be able to fool? Once he finds out that you are not the person that he was supposed to marry, he definitely won't let you go at all!""You won't be able to live an easy life from now on. I really don't want you to get hurt Brenda. I think that you should stop this now while you still can. Don't get hurt Brenda." Rita said.
Rita was just coming out of the hospital after spending some time taking care of Brenda's grandmother.Then all of a sudden, a flashy looking car pulled up in front of herFor a second, Rita thought that the car was going to hit her but then it stopped in front of her. Rita stood her ground, waiting to give whoever was in that car a good cursing but when the owner of the car came out, her mouth dropped. What is this person doing here? "How have you been Rita?" Ryan asked. Rita's mouth fell open when she saw this person. Just what the hell is going on here right now? When did this person get back from wherever he was? Wait, why did he even come back? Is he about to cause trouble again? As far as Rita was concerned this man represented only one thing and that was trouble. "You....you...what are you doing here?" Rita asked..Ryan smiles, it was a sweet smile, but anyone who knew him knew just how dangerous that smile on his face was. "What do you mean? I came back because this i
Monroe looked at Brenda again.Something kept telling him that she wasn't lying and that she was telling the truth.Maybe it was because she mentioned that her grandmother was sick and she did it to save her life? He was suddenly feeling sorry for her. He knew how it felt to lose a family member. Back then, even with all the money that they had, his parents still passed away. He could not save them. The only family that he had left was his grandfather and he was ready to do anything...even get married to save his life. So he understood what she was probably feeling. The fear of losing a family member. His instinct kept telling him that she was telling him the truth. She really did not know anything and that she was just used. But he still wanted to confirm. He wanted to make sure that she wasn't lying to him. "How am I supposed to believe you right now? You tell me that you've never met Lorena before and that you are only doing this because of your grandmother. How do I kno
Brenda however, decided not to talk about that. It doesn't matter anyway. Whether she judges her or not.It would be fine. She would just be one of the many people who decided to think whatever they want of her anyway. "Lorena....that woman has a twisted mind.""As young as Eighteen, she was already twisted. Back then, I was slowly starting to make a name for myself in the entertainment industry and she was a newcomer. I was quite popular then and she was this pretty and naive newcomer. "She had a minor role in a drama where I was the main lead. And because everyone else was bullying her, I tried hard to protect her, since she did not know much but it turns out that I was the one who did not know much" Brenda said. She thought back to what happened five years ago. Lorena was playing a minor role as her younger sister in the drama and she actually used that to get close to her and pave a way for herself in the entertainment industry. Brenda knew that the entertainment industry c
Emelda was getting tired watching her pitiful act.Does Lucy think that she doesn't have better things to do? How dare she try to put on an act in front of her? She repeated what Gerald had asked her earlier. "Since when did Davinc and I need someone like you to defend us?"Lucy was starting to panic. She wasn't able to get Emelda's pity. How is she going to convince her now?"But she insulted you in public! And she did the same to Davinc too! In public! Why should you let her go? You should teach her a lesson!" Lucy said..Emelda really wanted to laugh. Is she trying to put ideas in her head right now? Does Lucy think that she is something that she can manipulate?"I'll take care of Vida on my own. I really don't need the help of someone like you to do that for me. You could not even do anything to her just now, what can you do to her? I really don't have time to waste on someone like you" Emelda said. She was done listening to Lucy.She turned and started to walk away. But Lu
"Yes, CEO Davinc, you dont need to let that kind of woman affect you... She's..." Reina did not get to finish her words before Davinc pushed her away directly and because Reina wasn't expecting the push, she fell to the ground with a loud thud. However, no one cared about her and no one cared to check if she was okay or not. Their eyes were all focused on Davinc who seemed that he has been pissed off right now. He glanced at Reina like he was looking at dirt. "Stay away from me. You disgust me!" Davinc said. Originally, he did not have any opinion of this woman. After all, he had seen lots of women who under the guise of a secretary are the mistresses of their bosses. He had seen it so much that he had already grown numb to it. He did not care about it at all! But seeing how this woman has been so rude to Vida since she walked in, coupled with the things that Vida had said earlier.He hated this disgusting woman right now! Reina looked like she was about to cry but the man who
Davinc first looked at Vida who was still as polite as ever. She did not even turn to look when a woman was handed over to him like that.Does she not care about him at all? The fact that Vida has already moved on from him and doesn't care about whatever he does makes Davinc angry. He hated the fact that she did not seem to care. He wants to make her feel terrible, but it seems that nothing is working. He looked at Reina and smiled at her. "Come over here," he said. The woman was overjoyed. She thought that he will tell her to scram, but he told her to come! The Davinc is interested in her! She glanced at Vida who had a cold look and distant look on her face. In her heart, she sneered. Does she think that she will be able to attract the man just because she acts like this? She is dreaming! Reina walked directly to where Vida was sitting and shoved her away as she sat next to Davinc. Vida was a bit annoyed that the woman just shoved her away rudely but as usual, she did not sho
"Why are you looking at me?""Do you know how to drive?" Davinc asked. Vida mechanically nodded her head. A Classmate had dragged her along to take driving lessons while she was in high school. Of course, she can drive. "Then drive then! You aren't expecting your boss to drive you right?" Davinc asked with a sneer on his face. Vida sighed in her heart. She was already cursing Davinc over and over again in her mind. It is just driving a car. He should have told her if he wants her to drive the car! Why does he keep acting as if he is on his period?If he doesn't want to see her, then he can just let her go. He can even fire her and make sure that she doesn't work for this company again. Vida was sure that everything will be perfect that way. Why does he insist on torturing her and himself? It can't be that Davinc is a masochist now right? Davinc's words broke into her thoughts. "What are you daydreaming about now? Aren't you going to drive? Do you want us to be late? Can you take
Vida suddenly looked up at Davinc. She was smiling so sweetly at him. For a second, Davinc was blinded by her smile. He was sure that his heart must have skipped more than a beat. "I thought the same too. You are so handsome and rich. There's no way that you'll still be thinking about me. If you want a secretary there are lots of qualified women who are fit to do the job....why do you need me? You can just let me go to the design department. That way you won't have to see me and I won't be an eyesore to you" Vida said. She was still smiling sweetly. Davinc's brain went blank before he registered the meaning of the words that she had said. It turns out that Vida has tricked him! Good, very good! Vida has learned how to trap people with her words! What else has she learned in these seven years? He wanted to know! "I see that you've learned to use your words well in seven years," Davinc said. "Thanks for the compliment sir," Vida said. She was still smiling. "Compliment your h
Davinc raised his eyes and looked at Emelda lazily.Davinc's gaze made Emelda's heart skip a beat.There was a tingling feeling in her best but Emelda did not allow herself to think about it. She did not want to think about those feelings at all! The truth was, Emelda's heart wasn't made of stone. Being the fiance of such an excellent man for seven years, it wasn't her heart wasn't moved over the years. But experience had taught her that the man's heart will never belong to her. She did not want to be the loser in this game so she forced herself not to care about him. The Davinc looked at Emelda lazily and said, "since you are such a wonderful actress, I'm anticipation your guidance!" Emelda thought that her heart had gone numb over the years and that this man won't be able to hurt her ever again but it turned out that she was wrong. His words still affected her.She looked at him weirdly for a few seconds but then she pulled her eyes away from him. No matter what, she still ha
Seven Years Later -She ran outside to meet the woman outside. "where's my mom?" She demanded. "I'm sorry Vida. It's too late. I already sent her to the mortuary!" Lisa said. Vida felt her legs go weak, then she crashed to the ground. Mortuary....mortuary....her mother is dead?!Vida stood in front of her mother's grave. She had a smile plastered on her face. She was trying her best not to cry. Seven years had already passed just like that. Just like that, it was the seventh year since she got the news of her mother's death. The world had changed so much in seven years. She felt like she was the only one who was still stuck in the same place.Vida placed the fresh white lollies on her mother's grave. "Mom, how have you been doing on that side? Sometimes, I wish that you would hate me. I know that you can't bear to hate me but I'm a terrible daughter. How did I not know that you were sick? Why did I leave for school? Why did I leave you alone?" Vida asked. This was the thing th
The Davinc was glaring at his father. "What are you trying to do dad?" He asked. He could already tell that something was going on. His father was trying to keep him back on purpose. They already know that Vida is here. And they are targeting Vida! Davinc's eyes were red. He did not know what his father is going to do to Alexa but he knew that it won't be anything good. His father is someone who will go to extreme lengths to get what he wants. He doesn't care who he has to hurt as long as he can get what he wants. Davinc's father looked at the time. He smirked happily. By now, Esther would have already done what she wants to do. She did not tell him what exactly she is going to do and he did not ask either. As long as it can break up this puppy love of Davinc, then he is all for it. He won't let his son lose his head just because of some puppy love in high school. He smirked victoriously when he saw the look on Davinc's face. "Did you think that you will be able to keep that
Emelda was doing makeup and Esther was on the phone with someone. "Is everything prepared?" She asked the person on the phone. It was obvious that they were familiar with each other. "Yes. Davinc and the girl already arrived. They are at the hotel just opposite the banquet hall" the person reported. "Alright. Just make sure to get the girl away without anyone noticing. Remember, make it seem as if she is the one who left on her own. You must not make a mistake. Don't hurt her. She can't get hurt. Do it well" Esther said and ended the call."You don't need to worry now Emelda. Nothing will go wrong with your engagement" Emelda said. There was a sinister look on her face. "But mom....are you just going to let her go after the engagement is over?" Emelda asked.It wasn't her mother's style to let someone whom she perceived as a threat go. She would not have wanted to ruin Vida then. "Emelda....what do you think will have more effect? Hurting Vida and having Davinc find out that it w
"You don't need to worry about Vida. Anyway, I no longer have my son with me. I'll just take it that I gained a daughter from all of this. I'm sure that she'll recover from this" Lisa said in between sobs. It wasn't clear if she was trying to reassure herself or the person that was lying on the bed."Thanks a lot...in my next life, I'll be your friend!" Vida and Davinc had already started dating. The both of them were so high profile in their relationship that everyone knew about it. Of course, they were people who wanted to pass out from anger but there was nothing that they could do about it After the threats that Davinc had issued, they knew better than to cause trouble for Vida. The only thing that they could do was to stay away from her and not talk to her. Besides Cynthia and Lily, no one else talked to Vida. But Vida did not care at all. As long as they did not bully her, she was fine with it. It was good enough that they did not come to ask for trouble. That was already
