A long line of men in black suit stepped out of their respective cars and formed a neat formation at the front of the restaurant. Everyone was gawking at them as they were the center of attention. People began to whisper and gossip. A young man wearing a luxurious glittery jacket approached the restaurant where Ria and Thomas stood. Soon, another man older than the first came over to Ria. "Aaron, Benedict," Ria's voice was soft. It felt so surreal seeing all her three brothers come to pick her up. They all doted on her and adored her. "Hello, little Ria, grandpa wants to see you," Benedict said. Ria haven't seen her brothers for years. They looked very differently to her now - matured, more handsome, strong and trustworthy. She nodded. She missed grandpa too. "It's about time you return to where you belong and take back what you left five years ago," Benedict said. "I hope you are doing well, sister. Geez, you looked like you've seen a ghost! Come with us for a makeover!" Aaron ex
She came home from her lowly paid job and made her way through the glass doors of a magnificent large mansion. One would think that she was a maid or housekeeper judging from the way she was dressed. But who would know that she was actually the wife of the master who owns the mansion and a large amount of properties and businesses? She quietly made her way upstairs to get change. It had been a hectic day for her. Just as she opened the door to her room, she saw a figure sitting in her chair, looking solemn and arrogant. Sunlight poured in from the window, casting an angelic light on his handsome side profile. He looked up at her when she stepped through the door. Had he come to see after many days? She felt excited. He had repeatedly told her that he was busy and had no time to spend with her. They had been married for a long time, however, he never treated her like she was his wife. He stood up and sauntered over to her. He raised his arm....Bang! Ria stared at the papers that
"You won't have to worry about your life in the future. I will give you a house and five million dollars as a compensation fee for wasting your youth," he pushed another document towards her. Ria turned to him, forcing herself to smile. Compensation fee? So that's what he actually thought of their marriage. Wasting her youth? He called it as wasting her youth!? She devoted herself to him and this family yet all she got in return was heartaches and pains. She clutched the pen so tight that it almost snapped in her grip. She stared at the papers for some time. Wyatt was getting impatient by every second. Just as he was about to push her to do it faster, his assistant rushed in with news. "Sir, she's here, waiting for you to pick her up. I think she is jetlagged," the assistant looked anxious. "Okay. Let's hurry. I don't want her to feel terrible after her long flight," Wyatt rushed out of the room, leaving Ria alone. He was very worried for Hailee. Hailee has always been weak since
Wyatt was helping Hailee out of the car when his father came home. Hailee leaned against him weakly, her small hands encircled around his strong arm. His father saw the loving couple and his expression immediately changed. He shook his head and sighed before he enter the mansion. Wyatt and Hailee noticed that he was displeased with the fact that he brought home his lover. "Wyatt, I'm afraid your grandfather will get mad again if he sees me. Why don't I stay inside a nearby hotel instead?" Hailee's gentle voice made Wyatt's heart ache. He refused to let her feel wronged again. This time, he was very determined to protect and make her his wife no matter what his grandfather and father might say. "Hailee, don't worry about that. I'll give him an explanation," he took both her hands and gave them an affectionate squeeze. "But Wyatt," she called his name affectionately. "I feel very bad if I accidentally upset Miss Ria. I'm afraid or might cause some misunderstand and your father doesn
"She's gone? Oh, that's wonderful!" Ally exclaimed. Earlier that day, she had insulted Ria and watched her stomp off, probably in shame. She had never expected Ria to talked back to her but it seems that those words she said earlier were empty threats. Ally was confident that Ria couldn't do any harm to her. She thought that the dumb street girl would go and cry herself dry in the kitchen or her room. Who knew that she actually abandoned her luggage and left through the back door?! Ally wanted to laugh and thank the heavens for giving her such a wonderful gift. That girl was good as gone and she hoped for her to stay that way forever. Ria shall never step for into this family ever again. Ria was an eyesore to her family of billionaires! Ally had never bothered to hide her disdain and contempt for Ria. Everyone in the family were on both mother and daughter's side when it comes to Ria. Ria was often bullied and picked on for every single little thing she did wrong. Wyatt's mother an
It was raining cats and dogs as Ria made her way out the back door. Not to mention how cold the weather has become. She wanted to minimize the chances of bumping into her ex husband's lover. She did not want to see nor meet the woman her ex husband loved so much. It was like slapping herself in the face. She had literally thrown away her luggage after the pair of sinister mother and daughter insulted and humiliated her. She even talked back to them, fed up with their heartless taunts. She realized that she didn't need anything from the Earlson family. She was on all her own. Before she divorce her husband and left, Gloria and Ally made sure to laugh and mock her. Ria wanted to laugh at her foolishness. What did she expected from him? Love? His care? His smiles? Or his gentleness like how he treated his lover? He had never treated her like how he treated Hailee. She thought she could make his cold heart warm with sincerity, but it seemed that she had overestimated herself."Don't th
After the man had assisted Ria into her car, she was given some hot chocolate to warm up herself. The driver noted that he couldn't bring a frail woman home to his master, so he had to do his best to serve her. Ria sat in the back seat, wrapped with a thick warm blanket. She was hiccuping and sniffing although tears no longer poured from her eyes. A few rain drops beat against the window as the driver sped off. The rain was starting to slow down. Occasionally, the driver would glance at the mirror to check on her, worry etched across his fair and handsome face. Her empty and lifeless eyes made the driver's heart squeezed in on itself. He felt pity and pained seeing her so abused and neglected. Ria didn't know when she fall asleep but when she woke up and rubbed the grogginess out of her eyes, she saw that it was no longer night. They had been driving the entire night. Now, the beautiful rays from the sun above shone through the car. She took a deep breathe, feeling the calm atmosp
Ria looked up at him, concerned etched across her beautiful pale skin. The man slowly approached her. He took her hands in his and said, "How have you been doing?""I'm fine," she lied. But he detected that lie immediately. Nate moved back to give the siblings some time together. "Don't lie. I know everything," his gentle voice made Ria open up. She threw her arms around his waist and cried once again into his shoulders. Her tears stained his expensive suit but he didn't care. Nothing was more important than his sister. After a while of crying, Ria wiped her tears and runny nose with the handkerchief he gave her. Then he pushed the object into her hand. She raised her head to look at him, puzzled at his actions. "This...." "Throw it," he said gently. His eyes were full of concern for his sister. Seeing her suffer so much at the hands of her bastard husband made his blood boil. He couldn't wait to return home with her and give her all the love she deserves. She deserved so much mor
