"Sorry, Fiona. I have come late to see Billy," Stephen apologized as he stood in front of Fiona. He was about to invite her into the Billy's room."Perhaps another time. I was hoping to have lunch. Would you like to join me?" Fiona suggested, hoping to avoid any tension that could arise from her being in the same room as Alex and Stephen."Okay," Stephen agreed without hesitation.Before they left, Stephen noticed Alex's annoyance at seeing Fiona with him. He decided to hold Fiona's hand, hoping to calm her. Stephen thought, feeling the warmth of Fiona's hand in his."Don't tell me you're taking Fiona to a roadside stall," Alex sneered, feeling angry that Stephen had taken her away from him."Bastard! Wait for my revenge!" Alex fumed inwardly.As they walked down the corridor holding hands, Stephen asked, "Where do you want to eat?""It's up to you," Fiona replied, not wanting to burden him with her favorite elite restaurant."Okay, then I'll choose," Stephen said.They hailed a taxi a
Stephen's words brought a smile to Fiona's face. She had just realized that the blond man before her was wise. She ignored Juanita Mosley and continued her conversation with Stephen."Honey, what do you think of a man who legally robs his woman? Even though he already gets pleasure in bed, he still asks his woman to pay for his necessities of life!" Juanita's voice was clear to Fiona and Stephen.Juanita had assumed that Fiona would pay for a sumptuous lunch at the Magnificent Emarlad restaurant. Meanwhile, she considered Stephen a weak man who relied on his wife's wealth. The man in the black suit before Juanita smiled with authority. His handsomeness and charm captivated Juanita's heart, making her believe that she had found a better partner than Fiona."I think only bastards do stuff like that!" Fernando Avery said with a smug expression."You're right, honey! I'm grateful to have you! You're rich and handsome! It suits my fine taste!" Juanita glanced over at Fiona's table, but Fio
"By the way, this lemon tart with meringue and raspberry coulis tastes really good!" Stephen said as he cut into the lemon tart and took a bite. “I agree. Even though it's not the most expensive dessert here, I always buy this tart when I have the opportunity to visit this place," Fiona smiled at Stephen, who was enjoying his dessert. While eating and chatting, Fiona secretly watched Stephen. Despite the fact that he was wearing his usual plain white t-shirt, he looked different in this Magnificent Emerald Emerald restaurant. Ever since he first came, the way he acted and ate his food was so classy, as if he were born into a wealthy family. "Oh my God! What are you thinking?" Fiona thought to herself. "Don't dream, Fiona! No rich man works as a beach cleaner or lives with his in-laws because he doesn't have enough money to rent a house." Fiona took a deep breath. Although she was disappointed because she knew her imagination couldn't come true, she was still happy because Stephen
Stephen was surprised to see the serious look on Fiona's face. He had never seen her argue so boldly before. Likewise, Juanita clearly felt slapped by Fiona's words."Wow!" Stephen muttered, trying his best to hold back his laughter as Juanita's face turned red."Shut up! You're a sex-worshiping woman! Willing to give anything to a useless man for sex!" Juanita was annoyed and left Stephen's table for hers.The eyes of all the customers were fixed on Fiona, but she didn't care. In fact, Fiona and Stephen knew better than anyone else that they hadn't even had sex since their nine months of marriage.Juanita cursed angrily, "Bastard!"Arriving at her table, Juanita grabbed her cell phone and searched for Fernando's name. She called her boyfriend many times, but there was no answer at all.Annoyed, Juanita sighed as she leaned back in her chair, her gaze returning to Fiona and Stephen's table. Surprisingly, they both looked very happy while eating the lemon tart with meringue and raspberr
Juanita's eyes were scanning the room in search of Fernando. Her heart raced with anticipation, but as the minutes passed, her hope began to dwindle. Suddenly, Stephen's voice broke through her thoughts, jolting her out of her reverie. At first, she was stunned by his audacious request, her mind trying to process what he had just said.A sense of anger and frustration began to boil inside her as she realized that Stephen was trying to humiliate her in front of Fiona. She had already been looking down on Stephen, and now he was trying to push her even further. But despite her growing rage, Juanita was determined not to give him the satisfaction."What the hell are you talking about?" Juanita burst out laughing, but her laughter was tinged with malice. Her eyes sparkled with mirth, but her tone was cruel."Fiona, your husband has a gift for comedy! He's hilarious!" Juanita continued laughing, mocking Stephen openly.Fiona, who had been oblivious to Stephen's plan, watched him with curios
As Juanita became increasingly intoxicated, her behavior became increasingly erratic. She would burst into tears after bouts of uproarious laughter, and people looked at her with pity."I will kill you, Fernando!" Juanita exclaimed, throwing a bottle of alcohol, creating a dangerous disturbance in the restaurant.A well-built security guard approached Juanita, who was still laughing but had tears in her eyes. "Good afternoon, Miss. It appears that you are heavily intoxicated and require some assistance," he spoke softly and politely.The security guard's presence caught Juanita's attention. He was quite handsome with neatly combed, short black hair and smelled of citrus."You must be my savior prince!" Juanita said, gazing at the security guard with admiration and gratitude."You are my destiny!" she exclaimed, approaching him, but the security guard remained calm.With the remnants of her consciousness, Juanita remembered to pay the restaurant bill, but she had no money. She then had
"Excuse me, Sir. Is it okay for that reckless woman to just let go? She spoke bad about you." asked Grant Burnett, surprised.Stephen smiled faintly. "It's fine, she's already been punished for her actions. I don't think she can live without money!"For a woman who relied on wealthy men, humiliation and poverty were cruel punishments."I apologize for this unpleasant incident." Grant said regretfully."No problem, Grant. You and your subordinates did your best." Stephen smiled briefly before bidding farewell and making his way towards Fiona's table."What did you talk to the restaurant manager about?" Fiona inquired curiously when Stephen rejoined her."Just the usual pleasantries." Stephen smiled warmly at Fiona, who looked at him in surprise. Fiona still couldn't believe that Stephen could speak so casually with the Magnificent Emerald restaurant manager."Did he belittle you?" Fiona asked, still with an astonished expression.However, Fiona's question made Stephen chuckle. "Not ever
After spending what felt like an eternity in the sterile hospital room, Billy was overjoyed to finally leave the premises. His heart was filled with gratitude as he entered his home and saw his family eagerly waiting to greet him. They had all been worried sick for him, but now, they could finally relax.As soon as Billy was seated in his wheelchair, his older brother Aiden couldn't contain his excitement and exclaimed, "Thank God, finally Billy is back in our midst! Hopefully this togetherness will never be torn apart." His eyes were shining with happiness, and his infectious smile spread to everyone in the room.Angela, Billy's girlfriend, leaned in closer to him and held his hand. "I'm just so glad you're home, Billy. We missed you," she said, her voice full of tenderness.Billy couldn't help but feel grateful for all the love and support he had received from his family. "Thank you. Without the support from all of you, I wouldn't be here now," he said, his voice filled with emotion.
