When the heart becomes overwhelmed by the weight of enduring every pain, it grows weary of its constant reactions.Witnessing Maria's desperate gaze, laden with expectations, Oryx's heart constricts, yet she refrains from succumbing to tears.Although her longing to embrace the child and let her emotions flow is powerful, Oryx refrains, not wanting to further burden Maria."Someone will cherish you, Maria! Perhaps it's not me, but someone will," she reassures softly, planting a gentle kiss on Maria's forehead before departing. Despite the child's loud sobs, Oryx's shattered heart resists forming any attachment.As Maria cries out, "Mommy, don't leave!" and rushes towards Oryx, fear of abandonment propelling her, their eyes lock just as Oryx steps into the elevator.Maria fixates on her mother's lips mouthing, "I'm sorry!"Oryx clenches her hem, her gaze shifting to Marquis sprinting towards the elevator, clutching his stomach.She completely decides to ignore both of them. Marquis wal
"Your inability to keep your daughter in check, letting her run off with another man right in front of us—this is the result of your parenting? Pathetic!"Mrs. Woodson's eyes bore into her daughter, Mrs. Turner, as she clenches her fists, doubting her daughter's claims of controlling her children. After returning home and learning the truth about Oryx's husband getting admitted into the hospital, The Woodson couple didn't waste another second to come here and investigate. But, by unfortunate coincidence, they witnessed Oryx getting in a car with another Man. "Mother, I don't believe--""Silence! How dare you defy your mother! Gwen, we raised you better than this failure!" Mr. Woodson's disappointment is palpable, echoing his frustration at their daughter's inability to manage her own child."Please, let's remain composed. Oryx's husband clarified that it was a misunderstanding, and the man she left with was simply a friend. If he's not concerned, we shouldn't pry into their affairs!
"Boss, I've identified him."Marquis shifts his attention to his assistant while skillfully tying Maria's hair when his assistant allows himself in the room with quiet steps. Since Oryx's leaving with Gallian, Marquis has devoted himself to caring for Maria, prioritizing her well-being over diving into the chaos of work and in pursuit of Oryx."I'll be right back, Maria. Play with your doll for a bit," Marquis tells her before focusing on his assistant's update."Who is he? He seems well aware of our objectives," Marquis asks with a firm tone."His name is Gallian, but surprisingly, his surname is a fabrication.""What do you mean? Who is he really?" he questions opening the study room's door."He's Graham Williamson, your cousin, the son of your father's step-sister." his assistant details."That's impossible. My father doesn't have a sister!""He does." Placing the photo of an old lady, his assistant settles on the couch. "This is Sarah Williamson, your grandpa's mistress and was se
Oryx glances at the toddler whom Gallian is feeding with his own hands. Although her heart was thumping against her, she didn't know that she would meet her child like this. But suspension never leaves her. Why is her child a girl when her parents tell her that she has a son? She wants to question Gallian because She has told him that their child is a boy, not a girl." She doesn't look like any of us. Who does she resemble?" She asks, walking towards them, her weak step doesn't create rhythm on the floor.Gallian who notices her keeping her distance from the kid, smiles bitterly, " She resembles my grandmother. That's why I gave her the name. Sarah!"" I see!" Oryx sits at the table, staring at the kid." I asked for a DNA test, Oryx! I know you are not convinced by my words. But as I said, this is your daughter. Her foster parents told her that your parents left her with them right after she was born!"" Oh! I wished she would be a boy!" Oryx smiles, caressing Sarah's head." What
Marquis!" Oryx twirls in a beautiful white wedding gown, veil and bouquet in hand, her face partially hidden. Marquis, captivated by her radiance, moves closer, the shimmering light blinding yet compelling him."Do I look beautiful?" Oryx's excitement bubbles. "I've always wanted to shop with you before our wedding. Can we kiss now or wait for the ceremony?""Oryx!" Marquis is torn. "I love you, but..." Oryx hiccups..." How could you hurt me like this? How could you take my precious friend from me? How could you -?"" Oryx! Please!" His voice cracks as Oryx breaks down. "I'm sorry! Please come back!""I'll never forgive you," Oryx sobs, turning to Gallian. "Let's get married!""No! You're mine," Marquis snaps, his emotions boiling over. "Nobody takes you from me!"But his eyes go to his stomach, only to find himself covered with blood and Oryx is holding a knife, " You don't deserve me. You should die!"In a sudden surge of rage which turns into heartbreak, Marquis reaches out, only
Her hand reaches for the doorknob, twisting it gently. A soft smile graces her face as she opens the door and finds Gallian standing before her door with a soft smile "Good morning, Gallian!"Oryx stands before Gallian, who has anticipated her skipping another meal, yet he is taken aback by her stunning appearance. She adorns a silk dress that hugs her figure with pride, her once straight hair now cascading in curls, and makeup accentuating her beauty."Ory... Oryx! Good morning. You look gorgeous!" Gallian blushes, surprised by her subtle makeup that he hasn't seen before."Good morning to you too. I'll be cooking today. What would you like for lunch, Gallian?"She smiles as if she doesn't have any worries, heading towards the kitchen, with Gallian following suit."You... You'll cook?" Gallian, enthralled by her tall figure and enticing curves, felt a rush of excitement."Why the surprise? I can handle more than one skill. Kill or Cook. Anyway, What's on your menu?""Anything you mak
At afternoon..." Hello, Good Afternoon, Can I buy some flowers?"Holding Sarah's hand, Oryx enters a local flower shop. After getting out of the penthouse, one thing she has realized is where she is now, she can't find a way back home without someone who knows about this place well. And It's confirmed that Gallian actually trapped her here. She was so heartbroken about the situation that she didn't care about it. Now, after getting out of the penthouse, she finds herself in an unknown place. This is not in her city at all. Her surroundings are unknown even everything including the road. She was never been here before. Anyway, her attention goes to a skinny boy, doing his homework or something like that. Probably eight or nine years old. " Hello, What kind of flowers are they? Where are your parents?"Oryx asks, noticing the boy is literally ignoring her words.However, her attention goes to the door when from the backdoor a person enters with a sweet smile. " I am really sorry, Mi
*......I heard absence can make the heart fonder. I know that the misunderstanding is really big and happened so fast that I couldn't even find time to explain. Is she with him? He is a liar, I wonder if she falls for him. But this is not the problem here... I... I just want to confirm myself... I think I truly... Truly love her. I miss her so much!Will she return if I ask her to? Maybe, No. She knows what she feels. Maybe till now, she has always moved on and hated me to death...*Marquis buries his head in the piles of documents. After that article was released, his company faced the worst situation. Neither he can concentrate on finding Oryx nor he can concentrate on his work.Getting rejected by the all companies, Marquis is now hopelessly standing before his company, collapsing..." Boss. I have collected the information about Sarah Williamson. And everything about her offspring!" " They're all true. We can't do anything, can we?"Marquis, who always stands on his unbreakable f
" I brought you some fruits. You should eat more healthy!"Mr Williamson places a basket of fresh fruits. All of them are Mrs Williamson's favourite fruits. Today is visiting day and Mr Williamson like another week, didn't forget to visit his wife." Why are you here? I told you not to come here anymore!" Mrs Williamson hangs her head down, pinching her nails while avoiding his eye contact." Today is your son's wedding. They are trying to start afresh. Although they don't remember you anymore, they don't feel any emptiness thankfully." " Are you trying to mock me?" Mrs Williamson hisses, eyes are filled with tears." Yes. Because you deserve more than just mocking. You should know, that you are nothing but the worst memory in our lives."" Enough! Leave! I didn't ask you to come here and nag. Don't come to visit me anymore!" Mrs Williamson yells, almost grabbing the basket to throw. But she stops seeing her husband's cold and emotionless face." I will visit. Until you take your las
Marquis buries his face on his wife's chest who fell asleep while hugging a book. Her scent drives him crazy, but it gives him the feeling of home. His only place where he can find himself, he discovers himself every day." You are back," Oryx opens her eyes slightly, running her fingers through his hair. " Yes. Mrs Williamson! I am back!" He kisses her cleavage and grins. " What did Dad say? Will he move in?" " With a condition! Of course!" " What condition? Is he okay? He must be stressed!" " He wants us to get married again!" Marquis laughs slightly, "Getting married? Why? We are already married!"" He wants us to get married with full of love. This time, with a confirmed happy ending. Don't you want to?" Oryx's smile disappears as she remembers about their wedding. It was enough hard for her to keep on. But she did." I am sorry!" Marquis notices her expression and immediately apologizes." No. Don't be. Let's do this. Let's get re-married. This time, you must kiss me and
" You sure?" Marquis's eyes widen in surprise..." I am..." she grins." No. Really? Are you sure you want to work with me?"" Am I not suitable for your com-?"Oryx's eyes shut with a smash against her soft lips. Marquis gives her a quick but passionate kiss before cupping her face..." I will make you my personal assistant. You will always be in front of my eyes, safe and sound. I will be able to protect you from everyone. You will -"Oryx blinks her eyes, trying to understand the summary of his words... " So for my safety, you asked me to quit my job!" Marquis pauses momentarily before rubbing his nape, " I am thinking of giving the responsibility to Vasquez and the Government. So that I can keep us away from the trouble. I want my kids to grow up in a quiet and peaceful place. Maria went through the same situation twice. They're kids. It will hurt them and give them nightmares! So-"" I understand!" Oryx smiles, " That's why I have been thinking about the same situation."" Are y
Somehow crawling his heavy body, he walks into the house where he found his heaven on earth. Closing the door, his exhausted eyes scan the house. Within three seconds, the footsteps rhythmically create a beautiful forever familiar melody. Someone will bring a glass of juice from the refrigerator and speak..." You are home! I asked the Chef to prepare something less fatty today for you. Have the juice and take a quick shower. We will have dinner together!"However...It's not happening today. Nobody comes, the woman with grey hair, with lots of smiling lines or creases on her forehead, doesn't create a melody in the stairwells. Mr Williamson exhales sharply, his shoulder drops as he throws himself on the couch. Before his eyes, his heavenly beautiful family is no more. The woman who he showered with love doesn't exist anymore." Master! I prepared the bath." The butler speaks..." Carlan! You have been with Madam Williamson most of the time. Didn't you know she gave birth to two chil
" I... I am sorry!" Mrs Williamson whispers constantly, her eyes are on Marquis who stands with no emotions and feelings for her situation. " I... I thought -" she tried to speak but...Mr Williamson holds her hands, gently stroking the back of her hand... "You had a long time to think about everything. Thinking about trusting my words and taking a secret paternity test to clear your doubts? But, Love! You chose to keep ignorant. You used my family's worst history. You even used that horrific situation that my parents had to go through. You knew that Sarah was nothing but a servant. Yet you tried to destroy everything. But... Honey! Have you ever turned and seen that everything that you wanted to destroy is actually your handmade family? You were the one working hard on the company, you raised Marquis in the best way possible and it's you who were supposed to get the best position as a grandmother. Is it worth keeping hatred towards your own family?"" I... I am sorry!"" Some matter
" Sonya!!!" Mr Williamson roars, his eyes filled with tears for the first time in his life after marrying the woman of his life." Are you out of mind? Do you know what you are talking about?" His voice cracks and his throat gets heavier." I know, perfectly. And, you, The rude, arrogant Marquis Williamson, I am not your mother-"" ENOUGH!!!! SONYA! NO MORE NONSENSE. JUST ENOUGH!" Mr Williamson shuts her mouth, almost raising his hand. " You will regret it if you do another stupid thing!" Mr Williamson softens his voice, " So don't do something crazy!" he pleads." You can't hide the truth forever. If you didn't kill my family and my lover, I would have a great family with my Love of life and my only son, Graham. I wouldn't have to plan everything to kill you and your family. So, I don't regret doing this."Marquis, whose world is already splitting apart, looks at his father for an explanation. He wants to know the reason for everything before he sends both of them to hell. He must t
His eyes are on the red light, forever frozen, nothing can interrupt the stoned body which has lost its movements. William already informed me that the kids will be alright after they go through the therapy as soon as possible. Marquis just nodded silently, his heart was with his wife who he couldn't see right now even if he wanted to.Nobody told him exactly what happened to Oryx. So, the more time is ticking, the more overthinking, and all of the fear and anxiety bestowed upon him, make him momentarily freeze on his spot.His weak knees don't support him to walk near the door. Leaning his back against the wall, he keeps sitting on the floor, his eyes are on the light above the room." Marquis! Son! Are you alright?" Mr Williamson rushes to his son and crouches down. His eyebrows raise with Surprise, feeling the vibration of his son's body. Marquis is trembling violently." Son! What just happened?" Pulling his son into his arms, Mr. Williamson confusedly stares at the name of the
" Mom?" His voice doesn't reach out to the individual who pushed his wife, right before his eyes. His throat feels the pressure of swallowing pain, the mother who he loved and trusted more than anyone is now standing before his eyes, proudly after pushing his wife.His shaky knees move, but his attention goes to Gallian, who is limping and blood is oozing out of his forehead, moves to his mother, with the knife. Subconsciously, his hand raises, " Mother! Watch-"" Thank you for coming in the right time, Mom. She is really strong."Now his entire world collapses, his enemy just called his mother, Mom?Unable to understand what is happening, his shaky pupils watch Gallian holding the gun, pointing to Oryx who is in the pool of blood." I should call Marquis to come here. You finish her before he reaches!"Mrs Williamson grabs her phone and speaks to Gallian whose finger reaches the trigger.The moment, his mother presses the dial, the moment his phone rings, the same moment two sounds
After leaving with Rachel Doe, Marquis has yet to reach home. They are on their way to his house which is far away from Mr. Doe's residence and what creates trouble more for them is the road is surrounded by a large field of Hays. However, it doesn't take as much time as much as it is taking right now. " Both routes are blocked. Boss!" William suspects something is wrong and on both sides of the road, there are two accidents on two roads. That's why too coincidental to believe. This is the only place where the high way divided into two roads, one goes to the city and the other is the VIP area where all the rich people reside. " William! Send our people to clean the road, ASAP!" Marquis grits frustratedly. He must arrive at his house before something happens.William gets out of the car, calling his team to gather around the area. Meanwhile, Rachel scoffs, enjoying the view, " What a great lover and father! Look at your sweat! My Man surely will be happy to see you in this positi
