To exact revenge on his prodigal fiancé, she was hired as his Executive Secretary. Although they look the same, Belle and Vernice are two different people.
In her entanglement with the childish CEO, Belle learned about her true self. She unveiled the secret of who she was and who she should be.
The continuous arguments draw them closer to one another, until love blooms. However, there’s a third and fourth party involved.
Both are determined to make Belle’s life a living hell just to shoo her away from the young heir. One’s reason is love and the other is money.
In the middle of all the schemes, Tristan got into an accident and developed amnesia. Unfortunately, she only forgot about Belle.
According to people, what the mind forgets, the heart remembers, will it be the same for the lovers? Or will it be the cartoon-themed underwear that will bring them back together?

Chapter: Chapter 86On their bed and while lying on Tristan’s arm, Belle recalled the invitation she got earlier. She forgot to mention it to the man over dinner and even after.“Love, I got a cruise invitation,” she started. “I’m sure you have one too. Are you going?”Although sleepy, Tristan forced himself to respond. “I am, I know the organizer. He’s a good friend of mine. You should go too.”“Can we go together?”“I have a meeting that day and I don’t know what time it will end. The cruise will leave at eight but you have to be there by six for the program. You can go first. I’ll ask Marco to drive you there.”“Alright then. You look very tired love, go ahead and sleep.”Belle planted a kiss on the man’s forehead before squeezing closer to him. Minutes later, they were both taken to dreamland.A few more days later and the day of the cruise came. Just like what they talked about, Belle went ahead. He’ll meet Tristan there.Surprisingly, when she boarded the yacht docked at the Bree Port, no one was t

Chapter: Chapter 85When Tristan and Jacob arrived at the hospital, Belle’s attending physician told them that the woman had been moved to a hospital in Dale. This was the request of the patient, according to him.Upon hearing that, Tristan instructed Jacob to call the company’s pilot and prepare the private jet. They have to reach Dale as soon as possible.Fortunately, they didn’t take that long to reach the hospital where Belle’s confined. Jacob did the honor of approaching the nurse’s station to ask where the woman’s room was.When Tristan found out that Belle was staying in a ward, he ordered Jacob to move her to a private room. And there he spent all his time taking care of her.“What happened to her?” Lydia asked.Tristan was a bit startled as he didn’t hear anyone opening the door. He stopped wiping Belle’s arm and placed the towel back in the basin.He sat on the chair next to Belle’s bed, and let out a sigh, before facing Belle’s adopted parents. “I’m really sorry about this,” he started.The yo

Chapter: ChapterTristan dropped Belle off at her company. She was about to enter after greeting the guard when someone called her. She immediately turned around and, to her horror, it was Esme and she was holding a gun.“Finally, we’ve met! I’ve been trying to see you for days!” Esme sneered.“Put the gun down Madam!” the guard shouted, walking over in front of Belle to protect her.However, instead of following the guard’s order, she shoots him. The guard immediately dropped right in front of Belle and it freaked her out.“What are you doing?” she screamed, but Esme just smiled at her. The crazy woman gestured for her to go in and Belle quickly followed.When they reached her office, Esme locked the door and pushed Belle to her table. “I still can’t believe that you’re alive…” she whispered.Belle wanted to say something but no voice would come out of her. She’s been inhaling and exhaling since they got in, but it won’t calm her nerves.Esme made her sit on her swivel chair, while she was pacing bac

Chapter: Chapter 83It was already bright and shiny when the police finished their investigation. Belle feels like her head is not attached to her neck. Everyone else looked like they were floating."According to the investigation, the guard said that a woman in her late 40s entered the village saying she was a visitor to Luisa Villa," the investigator stated.“Why did he let her in? He didn’t even ask for identification?” Frederick asked irritatedly.“Actually Mr. De Clarion, he did, but what’s weird is that he received a call from someone claiming that the woman should be allowed in. The person who called introduced himself as the butler of the family, John.”Frederick looked at John and so was the rest of the people in the living room. The man raised both hands and spoke, “I have nothing to do with that call.”The police nodded at him, “We believe that Sir, we checked your background and we found out that you’ve been serving the De Clarions for almost four decades already. In addition, you do not have

Chapter: Chapter 82The past days and weeks have been peaceful for everyone. Joyce was locked up and there was no news about Esme either.Seeing that it’s safe to go back to work, Belle and Tristan decide to resume their posts, Him as CEO of De Clarion Empire and her as CEO of Sweet Sue.All is well for them or that was what they thought.Little did they know, someone was watching all their moves. Someone was hoping to take revenge on them, all of them.A week after Belle came back to the company, she received a package with a dead rat inside. It also came with a note that says ‘You’re next.’Instead of taking it seriously, she decided to just have it thrown away. She also ordered the guard not to receive any packages, unless he knew who they came from.After one more week and three more packages with warning notes, it stopped. To not cause any worry, Belle decided not to tell Tristan about it.However, on her way home one night, as soon as she turned left to the next street, she saw one of the homes in

Chapter: Chapter 81Everyone was surprised to see Lawrence Williams. No one expected him to show up at the De Clarion Villa.“Dad!” Belle exclaimed before rushing to her father. “How are you?”Ignoring his daughter, Lawrence turned to Frederick first. “I apologize for coming without notice. I just wanted to check on my daughter,” he explained.“That’s not a problem,” the old De Clarion responded. “Please sit down.”As soon as they had settled down, Lawrence turned to his daughter. “What were you saying earlier? What did Esme do last night?”Belle, Tristan, and Jacob repeated the story for Lawrence to hear. After learning everything, the man started bawling and no one stopped him.Everyone in the living room let him pour out his emotions. They understood what he was going through, they understood his pain.When Lawrence calmed down, he apologized again for the scene he had just caused. Then again, he was forgiven right away.“I don’t understand why she keeps doing things she’s not supposed to do. I try my

Chapter: Chapter 26 – The Witch’s Visit“What are you saying?” Maxine was startled as Sean suddenly yelled at her. “Are you out of your mind? Have you forgotten that you married me because you need to pay for your crime?”“Don’t yell! I’m not deaf! Besides, even if we’re divorced, I’d still work for L’Amour. You could still see me. You can still avenge your brother’s death all you want!”Sean’s face darkened. That was his plan, to divorce Maxine once he found Ruth. But her words roared like thunder, and he rattled.“There’s no way I’ll let that happen. Even if you die, there’s no way I’d divorce you!”Chills crept down Maxine’s spine. But it was not because of what he said, but because of how he said it. To her, it sounded like a threat.“Well, I was just making a suggestion. It doesn’t really matter to me whether we divorce or not. But it will surely be a problem for Ruth.”Sean was in a trance for a moment. He couldn’t help but think of what she said. However, for an unknown reason, he can’t seem to swallow it.“I’ll go o

Chapter: Chapter 25 – She’s PregnantSean went straight to the parking lot after leaving the doctor’s office. He stopped next to a car, and without any warning, he punched it.“Hey! Calm down! What happened?” Elo asked. He and Martha looked anxious while waiting for Sean to come out.“She’s two months pregnant,” he announced.Elo smacked his forehead, and Martha gasped. They were both in a trance for several seconds. Not one of them could talk.Mustering courage, Martha asked, “How was her child?”Sean and Elo glared at her, but she had no intention of taking back her question. She was worried about Maxine, and not one of them could stop her from asking.“I don’t know yet,” Sean sighed. “They’re moving her to a private room.” Martha nodded, and Sean noticed that a tear escaped her eye. “Why?”“I’m just worried for her. Not one of us knew of her situation. I don’t think she even knew she was pregnant.”Elo looked up, his forehead creased. “How did you know?”“She hasn’t told me about it,” Sean chuckled at the absurdity of

Chapter: Chapter 24 – The ConsequenceAfter dinner, Rob volunteered to take Maxine home, but she refused. It was not because she didn’t want him to do it, but because she didn’t want him to find out she was living with Sean. Instead of Rob, it was Elo who brought her home.She headed straight to the kitchen to grab a drink. She didn’t know that a grim shadow followed her. After that, she headed to her room and coaxed herself to sleep.Not knowing how long it had been since she dozed off, Maxine heard movements outside her room. With just an eye open, she checked the phone gifted to her by Elo. It was 3 AM.Instead of going out to check, she pulled her blanket to her head and tried to resume her sleep. But she was startled when her door flew open, and the lights turned on.“You just got home?” Maxine asked. She was surprised to see Sean still wearing his suit in the wee hours. His tie was loose, and his hair was a mess. “Where have you been?” She asked again when he didn’t respond.To her surprise, Sean grabbed her arm and

Chapter: Chapter 23 – The Fifth WheelWhen Maxine stepped into her office, she felt peace. A lot had happened to her in a single day. One more, and she would burst into annoyance.But fate has its ways. Moreso if it was in the mood to upset you. So Maxine’s peace was disturbed when Sean and Ruth showed up.The woman was not content with just checking the area. She wanted to check every nook and cranny. So she opened the door to Maxine’s office.“Hi!” That annoying voice shot Maxine’s blood to her head, and she automatically scowled. “We just finished touring the building. We’re about to go out for dinner. Join us!” Ruth bragged, and Maxine felt offended.She glared at Sean, but the man looked away. “That’s nice. Enjoy! I’m not hungry. I can just eat at home.”Ruth smirked. Maxine was starting to annoy her with how she subtly turned her down. But she was happy when Sean didn’t introduce the woman as his wife.“Honey, we’re having dinner tonight, right?” Ruth asked, and like a robot, Sean nodded. “Let’s invite Elo and Maxin

Chapter: Chapter 22 – Ruth RobbinsAs soon as Maxine stepped inside Sean’s office, the pungent smell of a woman’s perfume hit her nose. She wanted to throw up but held it in as she did not want to embarrass herself in front of the guest.“Sit down,” Sean ordered. Maxine and Elo sat on the couch by the wall. The woman in neon sat on the other couch in front of them. Then Sean sat on the single-seater in between. “This is Elo, my best friend. He’s the Executive Director for L’Amour,” Elo nodded at the woman, who in return smiled at him. Then Sean gestured to Maxine, “This is Maxine Winther, the Creative Director.”Elo looked at Sean. He could not believe Sean did not tell the woman that Maxine was his wife. Then again, when he looked at Maxine, she didn’t seem to care.But then the woman in front of them pulled down her glasses and looked closely, “Maxine? Maxine Winther?” she repeated.Maxine creased her forehead and nodded, but she was startled when the woman started screaming and jumping. Her overgrown boobs and thick

Chapter: Chapter 21 – A Man from Her Past“What does Maxine have to do with Rob Winford?” Sean roared as soon as he entered the office. Everyone was startled, and even the room reverberated.“What do you mean?” Elo asked, curious as to why his friend was fuming mad.“Winford came for her. How did they know each other?”“Didn’t you introduce her to him during the opening?”Sean shook his head, slapping the table and startling the assistants again. He looked at both women, asked them to leave, and sat on the couch in front of his friend. “Didn’t she tell you anything?”“No.”“First, it was Mendoza. Now, it’s Winford! What’s with the girl? What’s with these men? Are they blind?”Elo laughed. But when he saw Sean glaring at him, he straightened his face. “What is wrong with you?! You’re acting like a jealous teenager.”“You wish!”“Admit it, Sean Hartmann. You’ve fallen for the woman you used to call a stripper!”“There’s no way that would happen. Not in your wildest dream! I’d even bet Hartmann Group!”“Yeah, alright. Deny it al

Chapter: Chapter 64Lyken’s POV“Baby, what do you want for breakfast?” I asked when I noticed that she was already awake.We’ve already moved to our new house. I had this built two years ago, then two weeks before the wedding, I prepared it for us to move in right after the wedding.“Fried rice and salted egg,” she said as she rolled to her stomach.“Ok then, I’ll ask Lucy to prepare it,” then I stood up, kissed her forehead, and hugged her.“Ew! You smell bad!” she exclaimed as she pushed me away.I creased my forehead, and she looked disgusted. “I… I smell bad?” I asked in disbelief, and she nodded. “Baby, I just took a bath! I’m even wearing the perfume you gifted me!”“Ly, you stink! Go and bathe again!”I scratch the back of my head. I felt embarrassed, but I couldn’t stop myself from chuckling. ‘Is this because of her pregnancy?’To not ruin her mood, I quickly head to the bathroom to wash off the smell of perfume. That’s probably it.Jada waited for me, and when I returned, we went downstairs tog

Chapter: Chapter 63It’s been two weeks since Lyken proposed, and now, they’re getting married. Yes, today is that day, and Jada could say she’s more than excited.Everyone thought it would take them a few months to walk down the aisle, but when Lyken said it was in two weeks, Jada agreed. There’s no reason not to.‘He loves me, and I feel the same for him. Why should we drag? In all honesty, I've never felt this happy before. Not since Lyken became my boyfriend.’When Jada and Lyken broke up, she thought they couldn’t fix things between them. But thanks to the power of forgiveness, they are where they are now.Just as Demi Moore said, ‘The things people do to each other, they remember. If they stay together, it's not because they forget. It's because they forgive.’And Jada agrees with her. Whether she likes it or not, what happened between Lyken and her will be forever part of their history. That’s something they can’t just erase.However, instead of seeing it as an obstacle, they should see it as a le

Chapter: Chapter 62Jada was startled when she heard Honey yelling. She wanted to stop her, but she was in full warrior mode, so she didn’t bother.“Hey! Hey, you! Stand up, bitch!” Honey called off the woman as she pulled her arm.The girl sat up, rubbed her eyes, and tried to recognize who was the woman that was harassing her. “Who are you?” she even asked.The blonde girl was about to speak again, but Honey’s palm flew across her face. “You don’t have to know! What you need to do now is to get out of that bed,” Honey continued.When the woman didn’t move, Honey grabbed her by the hair and dragged her out of bed. The blanket covering her fell to the floor, and Jada was relieved when she saw that she was still wearing her bra and pants.“What the fuck is wrong with you?” She screamed as she struggled to stand up. “How dare you hurt me?”Honey slapped her again. She was trying to help the girl get her senses back. The girl with blonde hair touched her face and screamed when she saw bloodstain on her fin

Chapter: Chapter 61The next day, Jada woke up past lunchtime. It was a Sunday. When she stepped out of her room, Jada saw their friends in the living room. Everyone’s there except for Lyken.“Hi, Ja,” Kobe greeted. “Lyken had to go with his parents to visit his grandparents. But I’m meeting him tonight. We’re talking to a client about a new project. But don’t worry, it won’t get in the way of your wedding.”Jada nodded at him as she sat on the couch. Steve sat next to Jada, reaching for her hand and giving it a light squeeze. “What happened to you guys?” he asked.She lets out a sigh and starts telling them everything. They were all just listening, sighing from time to time.“You just have to talk calmly,” Kobe suggested. Jada nodded at him, and he smiled. “There’s nothing the two of you can’t fix. Compared to what you went through before, this is nothing.”“Exactly! Just stay calm when you talk, both of you! The last time you did, you were at each other’s throats. Of course, nothing good will come out

Chapter: Chapter 60Lyken felt his body stiffen when he heard what Jada said. Instead of explaining herself and apologizing for what she did, she asked him to leave.‘She’s unbelievable!’Jada quietly stood up, faced her closet, and pulled out a pair of pajamas. She started taking her clothes, one by one. She even ripped the fishnet off her body.She stopped her from what she was doing, holding both her wrists down. “What’s wrong with you?” Lyken sneered.She looked straight into his eyes, and Lyken wanted to back down. He saw how cold she was looking at him. ‘What’s happening to her?’“What else do you want me to do? I was considering quitting my career after marrying you because you said you don’t like it when I go out there, dressed up with almost nothing, and other men see me. I allow you to choose my outfit so we won’t argue about anything. Now, what else do you want?” she screamed, tears starting to flow down her cheeks.Lyken heard movements from behind him, it was Honey and the pinks, but he igno

Kobe led him to the couch and made him sit right in the middle. “Now you wait for the gifts,” he chuckled.Steve passed a glass of whiskey to him. Lyken took a sip and waited until he heard the music playing.‘Showtime!’The spotlight turned to the center of the floor, where two girls stood back to back. Then they turned to face each other. They started kissing before pushing each other away. Then they started walking toward Lyken.He didn’t like the idea of hiring strippers. They’re good for the eyes, but that was it. However, Steve and Robin decided to hire two strippers for the guests.They even told Jada about it, and she
