Alex pulled away from the kiss, and tucked Bella under the bed covers, ensuring she was comfortable. Meanwhile, Bella could not sleep as she heard the loud thunders caused by lightning since it was about to rain.She grabbed Alex’s arm, stopping him from moving away from the bed, before she mumbled sweetly to him, “Stay with me.”“Yes, I will,” Alex replied, a smile widening his lips. He grabbed Bella’s palm and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of her palm.Siting on the bed, he heaved a sigh as he was exhausted. He shifted his gaze to Bella’s face. “I’m sure your husband loves you a lot, but you keep hurting him with your behavior...” He muttered, “though, it's fine, he forgives you.”“Forgive me?” Bella inquired, her eyes widening like she had been exposed. She sat on the bed hastily. “What are you talking about?” She whispered, before withdrawing her hand from Alex’s grip.“The business meeting in Valet Hotel was a lie, right? Well, I know that you are seeing other men,” Alex mu
“What?!” Alex exclaimed, scuttling to his feet involuntarily as the doctor’s statement rang in his mind.He paced to and fro in the room, trying to calm himself with what he heard. Immediately he became calm, he hastily turned to the doctor. “It can be treated, right?”“Yes, sir. It can,” the doctor responded, causing Alex to sigh in relief. He assumed that the condition was without a cure, but after the doctor assured him, he relaxed.“Although, he will be involved in a daily administration of the antidote by intravenous (IV) infusion.” “It’s fine. Start it right away,” Alex replied. The doctor shifted his gaze to the female nurse, Mary, then he continued. “Mary will be the one to deal with the daily administration while we hope for a good change in Mr. Rex’s health.”“That’s great! But next time something important occurs to Mr. Rex, inform me first,” Alex instructed.“Alright, sir,” the doctor nodded. He sprouted to his feet, bowed his head slightly, then he walked out of the room
“I will gladly reject you now!” Rita retorted angrily. She wriggled her hands from Thomas’s grip to get her hands released, but it didn't.Later, Thomas released her hands.“Why did you say that?” Thomas questioned cautiously. He paused, then he continued, “I mean, is there a man involved in all this-”“Yes, there is a man!” Rita exclaimed, interrupting him as she moved away from him.“I've found a better man who would cherish and love me. Not a man who would go to any means to become wealthy!” Rita uttered, causing Thomas to clench his fists tightly.Without hesitating, Thomas gripped her neck as he could not control his temper. “I'm doing every damn thing for us!”Meanwhile, Rita could not breathe as he gripped her neck and choked her. She could sense her life coming out of her. Just then, Thomas threw her off.Thud!She landed on the floor as she struggled to get on her feet. While struggling, she chuckled, replying to Thomas’s statement. “You are getting engaged to Fiona... for u

“Good!” Alex exclaimed. He was about to end the call until Doctor Ben cut in.“But-” the doctor voiced out. “Please allow Mary to continue administering the antidote to Mr. Rex before I get another nurse.”Alex nodded, considering his father’s health, since that was his main priority. He ended the call, shifting his gaze to Mary, whose lips were quivering since she didn't want to lose her job.Mary looked up. She caught Alex staring at her with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. She assumed that Alex reconsidered and had accepted her back to work.She swallowed constantly, expecting Alex to speak about her stay.“I spoke to Doctor Ben,” Alex began, looking at Rex and then at Mary, “But he mentioned that you can't leave yet until he finds a replacement, so you can stay here while he does that,” Alex uttered, causing Mary’s eyebrows to furrow.“Sir, I promised to work better! Why are you doing this?!” Mary shouted with frustration tinged in her voice. Holding his head back, Alex was surpris
With Alex possessing her desire, Bella would stick with him forever. “Happy anniversary?" Bella muttered, recalling Alex’s statement.“It's barely a month, and we are celebrating our friendship already?” She uttered, hitting him playfully. “Gosh, imposter... You are too much.” “But if I may ask, where did you get the money to buy this suit?” Bella questioned, and Alex stayed mute.He silently pulled a chair back, gesturing for her to sit, and she did. He sat next to her, and she muttered. “Is there something you are hiding from me? I mean... What is this all about?”“Well, it's our wedding anniversary, so I decided to prepare this since I’m very familiar with your taste,” Alex replied, smiling before he gazed at Bella’s face. She had sweat dripping from her forehead like she was anxious.Gently, she placed the bouquet of roses on the table and replied quickly. “Is this some kind of joke?! Did I ever tell you we were married?!" Bella yelled, assuming that he was an imposter.Swiftly,
“Please, don't tell me it's around ten thousand dollars. I’m worth more than that, you know,” Bella pouted, trying to make her face look like a cute little bunny, to persuade Alex to buy expensive jewelry next time.Alex, on the other hand, knew his wife’s tactics. So all he did was sigh as he was exhausted. ‘Why can't she just deactivate her desire for expensive things?’ Alex muttered to himself. Well, since he is not aware, Bella’s desire and love for money can never be deactivated! She is stuck with it like a magnet...“Bella, can we not talk about the jewelry price?” Alex uttered, causing Bella’s face to turn into a scowl.“Wait... Is this necklace a fake?” She inquired, pulling the necklace from her neck.“Bella...” Alex’s voice trailed off.Bella pushed the jewelry to the table, handing it over to Alex.“It’s fine. I know you are very selfish when it’s time to buy your wife a gift,” she uttered, her tone dripping with sadness.“Okay! How about we take some pictures?” Bella inqu
In a small restaurant, Thomas sat across the table with Mary.“So, what business do you have with Rita?” Thomas inquired. He leaned forward, causing Mary to furrow her eyebrows. She was surprised by the need for an urgent meeting and she became confused with Thomas’s statement.“Well, I have a lot of businesses with Rita, so I can't pick out the specific business you want me to talk about,” Mary replied, pouting her lips.She noticed the way Thomas tapped his fingers on the table rapidly. Just then, she sensed that he was curious about Rita’s secret, but she would not tell him about it unless he...“You can’t?” Thomas uttered. He smirked, leaning back in his chair.He knew Mary’s desire for money was extreme, so he directed his question to that.“Alright, how much money do you need to talk about it?” Thomas spoke, puffing his chest out.Instantly, Mary’s eyebrows shot up. “Money?!” she muttered to herself.Her palms became sweaty. She quickly wiped the sweat off on her sleeves befor
