Chapter: CHAPTER 202YVONNEThe next morning, I woke up with a terrible headache. I already forgot most of what happened after finishing the bottle of tequila."Ugh," I grunted as I rolled out of bed. I barely slept last night but I still needed to wake up early to go to work. Dragging my feet to the bathroom, I went under the cold shower to wake my senses up.Selene was still sleeping soundly when I finished. I went to the kitchen in just my bathrobe to whip up a quick breakfast for us. To my dismay, my refrigerator was almost empty. I needed to go to the supermarket later. Luckily, I found a few strips of bacon in the freezer and still a few pieces of eggs left.I popped some bread into the toaster while I fry the bacon and eggs. I checked the pantry, waiting for the bacon to cook to take note of things I needed to restock.After I was done cooking, I set everything on the table and then proceeded to change into my work clothes. I pulled up a pair of stretchable pinstriped dress pants. Then I put on a s

Chapter: CHAPTER 201YVONNEI don't know how I ended up in my unit with Selene after work. She insisted on coming with me, and now we share a bottle of tequila.What's even worse is as we both progressively got drunk, I found myself telling her everything from the beginning Everything. I told her how Vlad bought me from the ring, how he turned me into a completely different person and made me his wife."But our marriage wasn't real," I muttered bitterly after drinking from my glass."It was just a marriage for convenience. I was his contract wife," I added while pouring myself another glassful of tequila."And that woman we saw with him in the restaurant," I scoffed while motioning my hand in the air. "That was his real wife.""Real wife?" Selene frowned. She stared at me with disbelief written all over her face. "Are you drunk?" she snapped."Not yet!" I growled. "I'm not drunk! That's his real wife! She came back from the dead after years!"I stopped talking to drink."I thought we already shared somet

Chapter: CHAPTER 200VLADIMIR"I can't..." I didn't realize I said it out loud until it was too late. I felt Riva freeze. She stared at me as if I had done something despicable.But her expression was quickly replaced by that of hurt and betrayal. A wave of guilt washed over me, but this was out of my control.I glanced at my damned useless cock which remained flaccid all this time despite Riva's attempts to rouse my desire."W-what's wrong?" her broken voice interrupted my trail of thoughts. "Don't you want me anymore?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper."No!" I hurriedly exclaimed. "It's not like that."She stared at me confusedly while I couldn't meet her piercing gaze."Then why?" she sniffed. "Why do I feel like you haven't missed me after all those years?!""Vlad, I fought for this," she stood up and walked in front of me.I picked up her clothes but she just brushed me off when I tried to cover her up."I never gave up. I held onto the hopes that we would be together again after everything," h

Chapter: CHAPTER 199VLADIMIRFucking unbelievable!I was left standing in front of the building where she lives now, staring at the slowly disappearing car of that shrink. I gritted my teeth.I had the urge to follow them and slam my car against his. I took a deep breath to calm myself down. I shook my head.It's not worth it.I went back to my car and started driving back to the city. What am I even doing here?Again?! I could keep fooling myself. I could keep on making excuses, but who am I kidding?My knuckles turned white as I gripped the steering wheel harder. I kept driving in circles, not knowing where to go. My mind is a jumbled mess. I think I know what's going on but I find it hard to swallow the truth. It can't be right.No. I can't be in love with her.Riva, she's the one I love. I mourned her for years when I thought she was gone. I never stopped loving her. She remained in my heart even after she passed."Riva?" I called her name when I got into our house. I came here after realizing I mus

Chapter: CHAPTER 198YVONNE I shouldn't assume that he's here for me, should I? I sighed exasperatedly. He'd already robbed me of a good night's sleep. I won't let myself in another torture by sitting beside him in an enclosed space. I'd rather walk to the shelter! So, I pretended I didn't see him and walked straight to Phil's car but before I could reach it, I felt a hard hand grabbing my elbow. "Yvonne," Vlad grumbled behind me. "Oh!" I exclaimed when I turned to look at him. "Vlad! What are you doing here?" I should be given an award. I can say my acting is flawless, but he doesn't seem to buy it. The deep crease between his brows told me he's not taking my bullshit. "Get in," he said in a low but threatening voice while motioning to his car. "Is there a problem?" I heard Phil ask. Shit. "Uhm, sorry, Vlad," I pulled my arm away from his hold. "I already agreed to go with him." Before he could protest, I hurriedly hopped into Phil's car. He looked at me for a while before glancing at Vladimir

Chapter: CHAPTER 197YVONNEWhat was that all about?Vladimir was long gone but I found myself still staring at the door he walked out of. Why is he suddenly asking about the kidnapping? And wait a damn minute, did he just tell me the woman who gave birth to me is now in jail?Did he... Did he do it for me? A tiny voice at the back of my head asked, but I quickly brushed it off, not wanting to entertain such a stupid idea."Why would he do it for me?" I muttered while taking a seat.He's clearly looking for answers for himself. That must be the reason why.It seems like Leon wasn't the only one who was after him. It wasn't surprising given his wealth and status. Not to add his underground activities. I may not know the details of that part of his life but what I'd seen was enough to conclude how dangerous that is.I sighed.The conversation with Vlad seemed to drain my energy. It kept going on inside my head like a broken record."Did I miss anything?" I asked while staring at my ceiling.I should go to s
