Chapter 36"That must be her," Miles muttered and walked over to where the lady was seated. "Excuse me... I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. I was stuck in a traffic jam," Miles apologized as she pulled out a chair and sat across from her. Miles couldn't help but admit that she was a beauty. An elegant lady with a beautiful oval-shaped face, long brown hair, charming blue big eyes, flawless skin, thick eyebrows, and finally a sexy body. She was everything his type."And you are?" The young lady who was in her late twenties however pulled a surprise expression as she stared back at Miles cluelessly while waiting for an explanation."Oh... My name is...""I don't care about your name. Do I know you from anywhere?" The lady raised an alarm as she slammed her hands on the table, demanding the attention of every other person in the restaurant, and of course, she got the attention she demanded. "Aren't you...""You pervert! How dare you dirty thing approach? You've got some guts," The lad
Chapter 37"Let's cut to the chase," Sonia demanded as she sat elegantly."Pardon my manners. What would you like to have?" She asked him, and he shook his head."Don't worry, I'm fine,""Alright... So, I will go straight to the point..." Sonia paused and tucked her hair behind her ear."Our marriage is built solely on favor, so it won't contain any affection. My dad told me that we'll be married for one year, and after then, we can get a divorce..." Sonia paused and sighed."Nothing is going to change. We are only going to be husband and wife in paper, and not in reality. This is no-sex marriage, so don't expect something intimacy from me..." Sonia paused and leaned forward."One more thing... While we are together, you are free to be with other women or if you have someone you like, but don't make it public. I wouldn't want anyone seeing my husband frolicking around with another woman in public. It's going to affect my reputation, and I don't want unnecessary internet drama," Sonia
Chapter 38"Who are you? I'm curious to know..." James demanded with desperation."Is that why you called me here?" Miles scoffed as he reclined on the chair and rolled his eyes."Not really... I'm just curious to know who you are. Mr. Mario had never helped anyone before... He has never treated me like this for any reason before, and to think that he is doing this because of you. Just who are you?" James asked again."I presumed you asked to see me because of what happened, right?" Miles leaned forward and asked, his lips laced with a smirk."Hmm... But...""I don't have much time to spare you, Mr. I have other important things to do. I will go straight to the point, so listen to me..." Miles paused and exhaled briefly. He had a lot to say to this bastard, but he didn't want him to suspect anything, so he could only hold back."You should reflect on your actions. Apologize to the people you have wronged, return the money you took from innocent people, and stop bullying people. Only t
Chapter 39Miles walked over to her door, and just when he was about to knock on the door, he paused as he heard her voice from inside."I'm still trying, doctor... I'm trying to raise the money. Please don't let my mom die. She is the only one I have left," Miles's eyebrows knitted together, confused about what was happening. "What's wrong with her Mom?" He mumbled."I will raise the money. Just give me some more time, please," Her teary voice sounded from inside the room again.Miles reached for the doorknob of her door, but stopped and changed his mind."Maybe I should talk to her tomorrow," He concluded and walked away.Miles slumped on his bed tiredly as soon as he walked inside his room. Many thoughts ran through his mind, and he couldn't help but ask himself what was wrong with Ashley."I'll find out about it tomorrow," With that in mind, he stood up from the bed, stripped out of his dress, and walked inside his bathroom with only his shorts on.Miles stood under the shower, n
Chapter 40Miles alighted from the car along with Ashley as soon as the cab they boarded pulled over in front of the hospital."You have not paid, Mr," The cabby called Miles's attention when he turned to leave, and Miles walked back to him."I'm sorry," Miles apologized as he took out a hundred-dollar note and gave it to the cabby. He turned immediately and hurried away even as the cabby was calling his attention to come back for his change.Ashley had already walked into the hospital, so Miles walked in also and spotted her walking toward the elevator. He hurried after her and they took the elevator to the third floor where Ashley's Mom was admitted.Ashley hurried out of the elevator as soon as the elevator rolled open on the third floor, and Miles did the same.Ashley's heart pounded hard against her chest as she walked briskly down the walkway with fear written all over her, while Miles trailed behind her. She finally pushed the door to one of the wards open and barged inside. "
Chapter 41"I have something to attend to. I will come check up on you later," Miles said to Ashley before he left the hospital to go meet up with Mr. Ace who had called him yesterday that they should meet later.His phone started to ring as he stood at the side of the road minutes later while waiting for a cab, and he checked to see that it was Mr. Ace's assistant, Bryant. He quickly swiped the answer button and held the phone to his ear."Sir, the surgeon has been contacted and he'll be available in a few hours. I have filed a lawsuit against Doctor Henry for sexual harassment and his hospital will be closed down in three days," The corner of Miles's lips twitched into a smirk as he stared into space."Do you need me to do anything else, Sir?" Came the masculine voice again."I want Mrs Carter to be transferred from the hospital immediately," Miles said on the phone."Yes, Boss. She will be taken away from the hospital as soon as the surgeon arrives," Came the masculine voice."Good
Chapter 42Tears streamed down Ashley's cheeks as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her heart wrenched painfully and she could only wish she had other means to save her Mom and not open her legs for that doctor, but what could she possibly do?"Don't cry, Ashley. You need to do everything to save your Mom. You can't give up on her," She said to herself as she took a deep breath and closed her eyes, trying to see the positive side of this no matter how difficult it seemed to be.She lazily reached for her phone and unlocked it. The address Doctor Henry had sent to her earlier was still displayed on the screen. It was in a hotel."Don't let it bother you, Ashley. You just need to be obedient, and your Mom will be fine. As long as she'll be fine, anything is worth sacrificing to save her," She whispered as she wiped her tears. After a little touch on her make-up, she finally left her room.She paused when she got into the living room and found Miles seated on the chair."You ar
Chapter 43Sonia Frost POVI had no idea if I should be happy after a successful live video or if I should be sad. Putting on a smile every day while hurting inside is really draining, but what could I do? My life wasn't a bed of roses, so I should embrace it as it comes, right?I picked up my phone and unlocked it as I sat in front of the mirror. My heart bled and throbbed with pain as I stared at my picture with Lewis. If that didn't happen, we were supposed to be married by now. We would've been living a happy life by now if that horrible incident didn't come up, and as much as I was sad about the disappointment, I was also grateful that it didn't happen after we got married. I would've been stuck with him forever, and who knows, maybe I would've died before my appointed time.The sound of my ringing phone caught my attention, and I rolled my eyes when I checked the caller and found that it was my Dad."Come over to the mansion and let's have dinner tonight. Come with your fiance,"
