Kate had suspected nothing had changed in her marriage to Nicholas since Kimberly's departure. Nicholas did laugh at her, smiled, paid attention as usual but at certain times –especially at night- Nicholas would spend hours in Kimberly's room which he had partly converted into his son's room. Nicholas had hoped that Kimberly would be willing to stay there so that the house would hear a baby's cry. Nicholas didn't realize that the man's pretense was making Kate even more tormented.Beep! A motorcycle horn made Kate turn her head, who had wandered off."Max, you almost surprised me." Kate muttered thinly. Kate wiped her tears that seeped down her cheeks without realizing it."You look very gloomy, Mrs. Nicholas. Did you know I've been watching you from the bookstore? Where are you going? Do you like the beach?” Max gave him a succession of questions.Kate was flustered. The woman didn't realize she was walking towards the lighthouse. Even though since her anger towards Leon, Kate really
Kate bit her lip while Nicholas forced a smile. "Let's find another topic!""What about Neil? Didn't you say you'd meet him after discussing business matters at Neist?" Kate complied with Nicholas' request to find another topic that would not make them both hurt each other.Nicholas waved his hand in embarrassment. "I don't understand what he's thinking. I mean, I've heard the explanation from Neil. He told me, He's not dating Raquel. He just wanted to help the girl and take advantage of the situation so my mom wouldn't worry about him.""So?" Kate knew there were some things Nicholas hadn't worked out.“Then…” Nicholas grinned."Did you call Zevanya to give her an understanding?"Nicholas smiled even wider. Kate could tell that her husband had chosen the worse way. “I can't think of calling Zevanya who is too far from Niest. Kate, I have a limit to my patience. Moreover, I was not in a happy state. So, I punched him almost slamming him against the wall to keep him sane but Alex stopp
Half of his orange juice was left in his hand as someone sat next to him. Oriental-faced man, thick eyebrows, curly eyelashes looked at him with interest. Raquel snorted thinly. is there no other human being in this world who considers him an ordinary human being. She really wished she could just let herself sink into her solitude a bit without anyone disturbing her.“My name is Samuel Abraham. You can call me Sam, Samuel. But love or honey is more than good.” The man smirked at the end of his sentence.Raquel wanted to push the man hard but when the man fully introduced himself, Raquel fell silent. His body shivered. Cold sweat began to break out of his body. Raquel tried her best to maintain a normal expression."Are you listening to me?" Sam raised his eyebrows. His hands were still hanging down waiting for Raquel to return his handshake.“Raquel Estera.” Raquel wished her voice wasn't shaking. At least, the man didn't know he was facing his fear. Sam smiled taking the hand intendi
“Raquel, are you all right?” Raquel groaned at everyone who bullied her. After breaking free from a man named Samuel, Raquel is interrupted by Skylar. The man kept calling her, making Raquel finally give up on answering the call from the man."Stop interrupting, Mr. irritating!" Raquel grumbled."I just want to know how you are."Raquel exhaled. "I'm okay.""You look like you're in a rush to get out of the party? is Mr. Abraham did something to you? The gossip magazines were talking about you this morning.” Raquel immediately rolled her eyes in exasperation. Raquel hoped the gossip magazines didn't say anything bad about her. "Do you know him?""Of course. Daphne is his aunt. You must know Daphne and Gabriel Neil's relationship." Raquel answered origin. Just something that made Skylar stop suspecting him."Are you sure? Gossip magazines say different things about you guys.”“one hundred percent sure.” Raquel looked at gossip magazines. The woman immediately dropped her jaw seeing the
Kate's brow furrowed as she glanced at Max's name on her cell phone. It was unusual for the man to call her especially using a video call. Kate wiped away the tears that remained on her cheeks and then scrolled up the blue icon. But it wasn't Max on the screen but Michella's pale face.“Kate, when are you coming to see me? I miss you” Michella's sluggish voice coupled with Michella's tears made Kate's blood ripple. In addition, Kate saw an impus tube in one of the hands of the little boy who was still setting foot in the elementary school."Michelle, are you sick?" he asked."Acute appendicitis," said Max, who this time answered Kate's question. "I apologize. I don't want to disturb you but he keeps whining when he finds out that I'm back in touch with you again,” added Max while stroking his sister's head affectionately even though Max's statement was not sad."it's okay, Max. you shouldn't say like that. Michelle, I'll see you soon. Wait a few more minutes.” As soon as the call was
“Even a businessman can be more loser than a mobster. I'm not forcing you to come with me." Leon muttered thinly leaving Kate. Kate gently rubbed Michella's head and kissed Max's sister's forehead briefly. "I'll visit you tomorrow, Kate." Kate whispered in the sound of sleep. After she said goodbye to Max with a greeting for Mom and Daniel, Kate caught up with Leon who walked a few steps ahead of her.Leon was silent the whole way and Kate felt herself too inappropriate to curse at the man once again. they are already busy with the anger that is in each other. Making peace with Leon wasn't his plan even though his heart really wanted to. Leon walked down the street but not towards Kate's house but towards Kate's father's office. The woman frowned."Why did you bring me to this place?"Leon was silent until he stopped his motorbike on a bridge not far from the bend. Leon dragged her down towards a slope adjacent to the river. There are rocks near there and lies a monument. Until that s
Skylar still couldn't believe he was treated so harshly by his father's brother. The man who had always looked warm and always smiled kindly at him before. Skylar dragged his feet from Jacob's house feeling shattered. Skylar stepped next to a luxurious apartment. His clothes were a little soaked and dirty, but Skylar had the courage to come to the extravagant party that was taking place.The party was a birthday party for Cassie Wayne, Skylar' girlfriend. Cassie is Joshua Wayne's daughter, one of the richest conglomerates in the city. Cassie's father is an investor who often invests in large companies. Apart from that, Joshua Wayne also has several other very profitable businesses such as fashion and hotels.Skylar and Cassie have been dating for seven years. They're even engaged. Skylar and Cassie are in the process of preparing for their wedding but are forced to stop when Skylar' father becomes ill.Cassie's house looked lively. The woman is having her birthday party. Skylar should
Kate visits her parents' house to make Mr. Taylor looked at his daughter with a frown. Kate rarely visited after she married Nicholas."Kate, I miss you." Mr. Taylor hugged his daughter.Kate didn't smile brightly at her father. The woman looked at her father with a sad look. Mr. Taylor frowned. "Kate, why are you looking at me like that.""I was just wondering if I really knew you, Dad.""Is Nicholas having an affair again?" Mr. Taylor asked something else that made Kate gasp."I didn't visit you to discuss Nicholas." Kate pulled her father's hand away. The woman took out a ring box from her bag. "Do you remember someone who once loved me named Fabian, Daddy?"Mr. Taylor was silent for a few moments. "I'm not sure. But that name sounds familiar."Kate smiled wryly. "He's the mobster you investigated for me because he suddenly disappeared.""I remember." Mr. Taylor chuckled lightly. "Why are you bringing up that guy, Kate? Isn't he an asshole with no conscience.""I just found out tha
