If my world is a novel, probably I am the villainess in his life. Or a side character being an obstacle to him. Will he ever understand that someone like me has loved him unconditionally? He won't...His smile isn't for me. That lovely stare isn't for me, that forming fist isn't for me.I look towards the direction which is causing this physical reaction within him.A beautiful woman. No. She isn't more than me. Right now, the only thing I can be honest. Probably I am jealous. But my eyes don't find her beautiful.Well, aren't all female leads a little clumsy and stupid-looking? She looks fine wearing that T-shirt and jeans. She has a normal look, an unbothered expression. Is this his type?My desperate eyes are on her. Why are they trying to find something bad? I don't want to hurt anyone of them for my selfishness." Come here. I have been waiting for you!"I look at him. No, I looked at him with little surprise. That's a beautiful smile. The voice seems to change more than it was
Children are the most likeable beings because they don't have any idea what's going on in this cold, dry and painful world. They are pure and simple. Simple things can bring the brightest smile to their face. And I envy them. If I could be happy with the simplest thing I have.But...What do I actually have? Nothing. When I turn back and look at the moments of my life, I find nothing. A simple life everyone deserves but me. Every inch of me still shakes with terror, questioning me, shouldn't we run away? Shouldn't we find our happiness?But where is the happiness that people talk about? All I can see is that they are struggling, with bad thoughts or good thoughts. Someone is jealous of someone's success, someone is unhappy with a successful life.Nowhere to be found happiness is a word of the reasons for the beginning of thousands of nightmares. I want to be happy, so let's do it. But after being successful to do it finely, no, I need more, let's do it...We aren't satisfied. But Betw
" Come to the hospital and do your job. We will go abroad for a medical seminar. We won't be able to get time for a blood transfusion!"My morning started with the cold, stern and dry words of my mother who has been showing audacity all of my life. And, they don't regret that. They will never. About Transfusion! It's our family secret. To whom I should donate my blood... Well, I shouldn't think of it as a donation. My blood doesn't belong to me. Very precisely, I am a blood bank to my family. My O+ Blood is more expensive than their entire properties, not to me, but to them. Still, I am the hopeless one. I can use them using my blood. But, I can't. Because they have something more expensive than the blood I have. My entire world. For which, I can destroy the world, I can kill my parents, I can leave Marquis or can sacrifice myself.I chose to sacrifice myself." I will be there at ten!" I said, giving a nonchalant shrug. I know what I have to do. It doesn't matter to me if they are
" You stayed behind because you are afraid that I will hurt that precious person, Isn't it? Dad"The human heart can be fickle. Anyway, can change their minds. Sipping my favourite black coffee, I look at my father who is calmly sharing the table in the hospital cafeteria with me. A rare scene in my life, spending time with them is something I can only imagine." It doesn't matter. I wanted to make sure you give your blood on time!" What a liar! He knows I can read his expression, still bothering to lie." How is your life there? Does Marquis treat you well?" Did I hear it right? I look at my father with widened eyes. Did he just ask that? What a joke! " Do you wish someone to treat me like a queen when you all treated me like nonsense? Isn't it too selfish?"Don't act like a father who loves his daughter. You don't deserve to be called a father." Oryx! I think you should try harder. Marquis's father isn't -"Stop! Don't spoil my mood early this morning. " I hope Father will st
Although I didn't realize how it happened. Now I remember that Maria was in my room in the first place. At that moment I should have realized that my room was unlocked. It was weird, to be honest. Why would she place lots of chocolate in my drawers? She could have given them to me directly." Why aren't you sleeping?" Maria snuggles as she speaks. This girl is really observant. Should I say she is like her father? Today's action has proved it wrong. The Marquis I first met is too different from today's Marquis. It can't be his twin brother. Not all life is like romantic fantasy lol. I wish it was. He was really observant. Because of my work, I had to spend some time outside at night before meeting him next. Although I put makeup on, he could understand that I was tired. He has an unusually charming look and a very warm smile that he doesn't wear often. When we first met, he looked pure and perfect. His eyes were shooting stars with thousands of emotions. As If he let his emotions
" A family dinner? You two are supposed to be on a business trip, aren't you?" I question my Mom who just called me to attend a family dinner with them. Aren't they on so important business trip? Where did their business trip go?" Why are you questioning a lot? What I said just do it. We will be waiting in your grandpa's restaurant!" Listening to my mom's voice, it's like they are cooking something behind me. Pretty sure, they will force us to do something crazy.But...It seems like I can spend a few minutes alone with him. Despite we fight or argue with each other. Still, I can't forget him. Anyway, Let's not get swayed by this outdated arranged marriage. Loving him is one-sided. And, the marriage doesn't have its value.I hear the call being disconnected and a sharp inhale escapes from me. I shouldn't move that much. Seems like I have to wear a full-length sleeve dress today. It's hot outside. Hope to see myself in solid shape." Ma'am! Master is here!" Turning back, I find Mar
She was supposed not to be lost...That one sentence seems to have added more pain to my heart. I am responsible for every single action. I take my responsibility more seriously than others. However, watching the girl I am supposed to protect has been missing for the last ten minutes, my blood rushes inside my brain.I will go crazy any moment." No sign of her walking away from this store? Not even in any CCTV camera footage?"My silent, cold, and calm voice sends a message into Ben's brain. He needs backup before something happens. Or he will witness the destructive storm right here. " Calm down. I will find her within half an hour. Trust me!"He assures, his fingers intensely dialing the emergency number. He needs urgent backups.I scan the area, repeatedly, making sure a single hint doesn't get away from my sight.Imagining the footsteps of Maria when I walk slowly toward the door. According to the footage, Maria's eye direction was left side of the door. She was looking at some
Marquis's P.O.V..." Let's get divorced...!" When Oryx slammed the divorce papers on the table, I looked up, as I closed my laptop. Her eyes are red-rimmed, her puffy eyes are unsettled and somehow welled up. The stern expression on her face didn't go well as she always kept a soft gesture whenever we met. Yes, her declaring her love for me wasn't a joke, I am sure about it. On top of that, I am guilty of doing everything to her. She deserves my apology but my plan will be in vain if I apologize. " You said you want two years!" I ask, lifting the papers from the table. She had already prepared for divorce a long time ago. The preparation date for the paperwork is the day after our wedding. Did she know that we won't make it?" I don't need. I realize loving is nothing but a waste of time. I better sleep around with someone else instead of waiting for my husband who has another woman in the same house living with me!" She speaks in a calm and unbothered expression. Her sharp tone
" 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
