"Mom, please stop searching for a lover. I don't want Fathe r's condition to deteriorate further due to your behavior. Ot herwise, I will destroy any relationship you have with any m an!" Chelsea admonished, giving a warning. She had lost c ount of how many warnings she had given, given the nume rous men her mother had approached for money, despite h er father's serious illness. "It's up to you, do whatever you want. I don't care anymore because I can't bear to live in poverty," the mother replied c almly, indifferent to Chelsea's feelings. "Fine, if that's what you want. I swear I will marry one of yo ur most meaningful lovers!" Chelsea promised her mother when the pain had taken over her.

Chelsea's excuse was an attempt to hide her nervousness and fear of failing to convince Carlos."In that case, I'll arrange a meeting between you and Vano.""When?" Chelsea asked."In an hour, I'll leave you at the cafe in front of this supermarket. I'll ask Vano to come and meet you there, and it's up to you how you approach him. If he agrees, you can move into my house tonight."Carlos grabbed another box of cereal. "Remember, if Vano refuses, you won't be able to stay in my house."Chelsea nodded, although she was puzzled about what reason to give. Nevertheless, she agreed to Carlos's suggestion.The sooner she lived in his house, the sooner she could carry out her revenge."Mom, can I go shopping with Uncle Carlos alone? I have something important to discuss with Indri before moving. I need to say g
9Chelsea arched one corner of her lips, observing her appearance this afternoon. Extremely beautiful and captivating, she was ready to embrace any plans Margareth had in store for her. She would also prepare to pretend to be a good daughter, devoted to her mother, in order to seize Carlos's wealth.Little did Margareth know that Chelsea would become a thorn in her side, slowly unraveling her."You're so beautiful," praised Margareth as she saw Chelsea emerge from her room. The girl looked truly stunning, dressed very differently from her usual style.Today, they were going to meet Carlos, so Margareth had bought a dress that perfectly suited Chelsea's body. This was to ensure that Carlos would later accept Chelsea as a potential daughter-in-law.When someone is as beautiful as this, no man could resist Chelsea's charm."Of course, beautiful, just like my mother," Chelsea complimented, seemingly completely on Margareth's side.In reality, she harbored intense resentment for the middle
8"So, what are you going to do after this?" Indri wiped the tears from Chelsea's cheeks. Though she couldn't chase away Chelsea's sadness, Indri's presence managed to provide some solace."I don't know, In.""It's okay not to know. But please don't do anything foolish. Your life is still long, and don't disappoint your father."Rubbing Chelsea's back, Indri continued, "Oh, by the way, was that Carlos earlier? What was he doing here?""I don't know. He said he came here out of his human nature. But I don't believe it. He can't be a good person.""Why do you feel that way?""Because he offered me a job and asked for money that...""Please find all the documents mentioned on this paper!"Both Chelsea and Indri turned their heads toward the voice that gave the order. They were both equally surprised to see who it was."I can't stay here for long. There are many things that need to be done, and I request your cooperation."Chelsea forced a smile. "Is it because you want to take care of th
7Chelsea awfully realized that her mother's indifference wasn't just shown during her father's life, as she considered him a burden.But Chelsea was wrong. Even after her father's passing, her mother still didn't care about him. So, when the funeral took place, Chelsea had to handle everything on her own. Fortunately, she had the check that Carlos had given her, which enabled her to settle and immediately pay off the hospital bills.Even though the surgery didn't happen, Chelsea still needed that money because she didn't have any siblings, and there was no help from her mother. She had to go through everything alone until her father's burial.At the hospital yesterday, Chelsea had wanted to demand answers from her mother since it was her actions that led to Tomas's illnesses.However, Chelsea realized that she had no power, so she decided to seek revenge in a different way. Not just any revenge, but one that her mother would truly feel. The pain had to be double the pain that her fat
6"Earlier, my motorcycle key fell and accidentally got kicked. It slid under Uncle's desk," Chelsea explained, rubbing her neck, hoping Carlos would believe her."Oh, I thought you were hiding from someone. If it's just about the motorcycle key, alright then. Please come in, let's discuss it inside!" Carlos invited Chelsea to enter first.He closed the door to his office again. He didn't want anyone to overhear their conversation since it was a private matter."So, how is it? Have you thought about your options? Do you want to be my sugar baby or my daughter-in-law?" Carlos repeated his question from yesterday, even though Chelsea had already mentioned that she needed a lot of money right now.Judging from Carlos's offer yesterday, he should know which offer would yield more money."I'll be your daughter-in-law, Uncle, and I'll do my best to seduce Vano. Luckily, Vano is my senior at campus, so it will be easy to get close to him."Carlos nodded. "A surprisingly fortunate coincidence
5"There's a burst blood vessel in his head that needs to be addressed immediately, requiring a blood transfusion and surgery as soon as possible," a man dressed in all white explained to Chelsea after examining Tomas."The surgery needs to be done soon, Doctor?" Chelsea inquired, repeating the information."Correct, and to proceed with the surgery, you must register first. You'll also need to sign a consent form for the surgical procedure before it's performed. Additionally, you'll need to pay half of the total cost upfront since Mr. Tomas doesn't have any insurance or similar health coverage."Chelsea nodded slowly. "Approximately, how much is the upfront payment?" she asked weakly, although she couldn't really question this because she was aware that she didn't have the funds to bring her father to the operating table."Around $10,000 in total. $5,000 for the upfront payment, which includes blood and medications up until the completion of the surgery."Chelsea tried to keep her fac
Chelsea slumped onto the bed, tossing her bag in any direction. She was truly frustrated with herself at the moment, recalling the recent events she had gone through with Carlos.Chelsea also despised and disgusted herself for willingly selling herself to that man. Several times she cursed herself and apologized to her father for her foolishness. If only Carlos hadn't stopped her earlier, she wouldn't be at home right now, but under the covers catering to all of Carlos's desires.However, the man had been kind enough to give her time to reconsider. Whether to become a sugar baby or a daughter-in-law."Indri, what should I do?" Chelsea sighed as Indri answered her call."What now?" Indri asked. "You come back from a date and instead of sharing good news, you're complaining like this. Why? Is Carlos not as handsome as his photo or...""No, it's not that. Carlos actually looks even more handsome and youthful in person.""Well, if he looks better than his photo, that's a good thing. It me
Chelsea sat in front of her vanity table, gazing at her swollen face that had just stopped crying. Witnessing and hearing her parents' arguments, which always seemed to fill her days, was taking its toll on her. Life was becoming more complicated by the day.Chelsea closed her eyes, the echoes of her mother's shouts replaying in her mind."I don't care anymore, Tomas. You have to divorce me right now!" Margareth, her mother, demanded a divorce from her father. She couldn't bear to continue living a life of poverty like this.Meanwhile, Chelsea had been working tirelessly to help support her mother's presence. It wasn't that Chelsea was afraid of her mother leaving home, but she didn't want the woman who was so beloved by her father to go, which would only worsen Tomas's condition. Margareth had been Chelsea's father's main source of support and encouragement all this time. Chelsea didn't quite understand why."I can't give you a divorce yet," Tomas whispered, still hoping to salvage h
But if she didn't show up, she wouldn't be able to reel Carlos in for a meeting. Chelsea was weighing her options on how to save her parents' marriage and fund her father's medical treatment."Yeah, Dad, what is it?" Chelsea greeted at the other end of the call as her phone rang. Her father was calling her.“C-chelsea …”"Hello, Dad. What's up?""Can you come home, dear?""I'll be home soon, Dad!" Chelsea hurriedly ended the call. No need for many questions; her father's heavy and intermittent voice could explain the situation at home.Chelsea rushed to the parking lot, riding her old scooter to leave the café area and catch up with her father. Unbeknownst to her, her actions had negative consequences on her job. Despite only having worked at the café for a month, she had somehow managed to leave without seeking permission from the café's management.This resulted in a stream of complaints from her co-workers as Chelsea left suddenly, especially since her break time had already ended.
Chelsea let out a soft sigh. Her lips pursed, and she stirred the cold mochaccino in the tall glass. She seemed to be discussing her parents with her friend, Indri.Taking advantage of their lunch break, Chelsea used the time to seek advice. It was something she always did when her mother was caught having another affair, again!"Cheating again?" Indri interjected, leaning back in her chair. She seemed weary of Chelsea's recurring issues. She was tired of dealing with the problems Chelsea faced, and tired of trying to prevent her friend's mother from seeking another lover.Even though Chelsea's father was still alive, albeit in poor health, their family had been struggling since then. Financial difficulties, her father's declining health, and her mother's infidelity had started to affect their household. It began with dwindling finances, Chelsea's father's worsening health, and her mother's affair, driven by her desire to find a wealthy man to satisfy her socialite aspirations.Accust...
