Edward~I was sitting in my office when Raymond knocked on the door and hurried inside.It was 9:00 a.m. I expected the news to leak out over the media and make a huge sound."Boss, we got it. All the sites shared the news of disrepute."Last night, I asked Dane to go for the first news and expose John and Elenore's intimacy. I didn't trust her to sign the divorce file. Their forbidden relationship after marriage was a huge blow.He handed me his iPad and I checked the trending topics. They got many views and shares.I promised not to hurt her but I never said I would forgive her."People expressed sympathy and empathy for you."Yeah, as a disabled man, my wife had been cheating on me and having affairs with my brother. Why should they not show pity?"Did he come to work today?"“Before I came here, I checked the management floor, and everyone was saying he left promptly.”I laughed cheerfully. I couldn't hide my enthusiasm."He might have gone to hold a press conference then go to th

Edward~My eyes caught a glimpse of John who came up to put on an act, wearing a seemingly innocent expression to buy sympathy.Pathetic *ssh*le!It turned my stomach to see his nasty face here."Grandpa! Here he is! I swear someone has set me up. You know about my current achievements...""Quiet!"Grandpa shouted then shot him a grave glare, squeezing his walking stick in his palm."Your recent behavior has yet to be reviewed. You have become ruthless in meeting your sister-in-law secretly.""I didn't..."He knocked his stick on the floor making John shut his mouth.Silence fell for a moment. Emily didn't dare to interfere but she blamed John for sticking around Elenore. She had once warned him she was a bad b*tch who would bring him constant trouble.Grandma's face was masked with irritation."Let him speak and defend himself. We can't just blame him."When Grandma took his side, Ed shot me a venomous glare.I was sitting composed and confident. I knew my grandfather hated panic."G

Olive~"How are you feeling, Olive?"Layla grabbed my hands as soon as she sat at the table.The coffee shop had a magnificent Christmas design and reminded me of what Ed said about spending time with me.Sigh! With the upcoming circumstances, I couldn't see him for the past few days.My eyes rolled on Mira and Huxley. I begged them to come together and at least enjoy their time."I'm trying to be calm. Are you still mad at me after realizing the truth? I'm a replacement."Her expression changed, and she smiled. Not furious at all. That day when I told her, she called me stupid and didn't call me for two days."No, we have known each other for years. I trust you. Sorry if I got angry. You are like a sister to me and your life matters more than anything to me. I'm sure there was a strong rational reason behind what you did. By the way, Edward loves you. Even though he didn't confess it, still I can feel it.""What about you? Could you get along with your family's wishes?""Not yet, I a

Olive~Today I went to borrow a few books from the library to work on my dissertation.It was the holidays, and I should have been enjoying it but as long as I couldn't fool around and have fun in public and be among my friends, it was better to warm my head with something I liked.Huxley carried the box and we entered the living room."You came back!""Why did you not call me?" I asked.Edward was already home, sitting in the living room with Tobin."Huxley told me you are in the library so I didn't want to interrupt you."I greeted them and sat next to him.Tobin smiled, "Congratulations!"For what?He stood up and didn't have his coffee. I looked at him blankly and then my eyes shifted to Mira who winked at me."You could stay for lunch!" I suggested."Maybe some other time, sister-in-law. I must go and find my deserted brother. He had become a workaholic not to go home and face our parents."I nodded and he left.I gazed at Edward and raised my brow."What is going on here? What w

Olive~The next day!Telling the news to Layla, she pleaded with me to meet her in our place. We weren't the type to hit the dance floor in a club to celebrate it. Our hubby was entirely different but lately, we couldn't go to the gym.Besides, her father was an insecure man who didn't allow her to attend places he didn't like.We booked a table before going there. Still, the holidays would end in two days, so it was hard to find a table in this popular coffee shop.Huxley drove me out and before we got there, he said, "Would you go shopping today?"I shook my head. The previous time we came out, he took me to a mall to buy a gift for Ed but this time I just wanted to share the joy with my best friend.The sky was partly cloudy and the streets were bustling. It felt good to sense the warmth of the sun.I could be a normal person today.Sitting at the table, we ordered our favorite snacks."Now tell me from scratch and don't miss a word. I'm so happy for you."Layla was cheerful. I was

Edward~As soon as Layla described the situation I just concluded that it was my brother.A torrent of fear and distress washed over my body. John might not hurt her but Elenore would.Sitting in the car, I called Kit."Kit, find and investigate where John is. He had kidnapped Olive.""h*ll! How could he p*ss that security?""She was not home. Huxley was with her.""I'll find their whereabouts."He hung up quickly and just when we left the parking lot, I received a message from John.My hand shivered to open the message box but as soon as I did, it was footage.I shouted and punched the dashboard when I saw they chained and hung her to the ceiling."Man, what happened, is she alive?"Dane paled when he saw my reaction.He snatched the phone from me and his eyes widened. They were tormenting Olive and it was a familiar scene for all of us. They did the same thing with Kathleen and then killed her.Dane sent the footage to Kit."I'll kill him,"I shouted.John sent another message to ma

Olive~I opened my eyes to see the world still swaying overhead.My body ached, and I couldn't remember what happened to me."Oh, God! Olive, are you up?"Edward!His face was just like the man who used to bother me. I squeezed my eyelids and swallowed.What was going on?"How many days have I been unconscious?""Two days. I was scared. They hit your head."He held my hand but as soon as the numbness faded in my fingers, slowly, I snatched my hand from his.I scowled when the scattered memories went riot in my head and added a sharp pain to my skull. The headache wouldn't go away.His face held a mixed feeling of concern and relief.He was talking to me but I couldn't recognize the meaning easily. The whistle won the battle in my head.I was struggling to remember what occurred to me.That day in the coffee shop, a man came to me. Huxley rushed forward and made a distance between us. Two women were fighting and causing chaos. He took us to the parking lot, mentioning that my father wa

Elenore~That b*tch survived again. My father was furious when he came to pick me up from the police station but no longer did I care what he wanted.He warned me that next time he wouldn't save me if I got caught hurting Olive.This plan failed and Kit took us to the police station. He claimed that we were lucky his sister-in-law begged them not to kill both of us.Making sure his influence in the police station worked well, we spent a night under arrest, and the next morning, Fredrick Johnson arrived with my father.They were angry bulls that unleashed to beat us.They spent a significant amount of money to bail us out.And I couldn't swallow this defeat. That fu*king rascal was one of the most handsome men I had come across.Not just that, but that wench Layla attacked me and no one punished or stopped her.I tossed the bear doll in my hand to the wall. My mother came to my room and reprimanded me."Elenore! You better stop getting yourself in trouble. Your father can't pay huge co

Olive~The next day, I woke up early and took a shower with Edward. When he was drying my hair with the towel, I grabbed his hand and asked him to sit down."What do you think, should I go and see her?"He shrugged, "If you ask my opinion, they were cruel to you."He paused and kissed my knuckles, "But if you don't see her now, it remains your biggest regret. You'll be thinking about it constantly."I nodded, "Would you come with me?""Of course, you are not in a situation to be alone."I cupped his face and kissed him as hard as I could. As we parted, he smiled, "Then we should get ready now. Give me that *ssh*le's number. I'll call him."I laughed! Was he talking about Arvin? He wasn't a bad person, poor guy.Giving him the phone number, I got dressed and we were ready to leave when Mira caught us in the living room."What about your breakfast?"Mira asked us."We will eat outside!"Ed replied and we got out. An hour later, we met Arvin in front of the hospital."She had a bad night

Kit~I took the last sip of my drink and tapped on Tobin's shoulder."Party is over for us. Time to give some lessons to John!"I peeked at John who was talking to a few of his friends. He was entirely distracted when I approached Elenore.Near her ear, I whispered, "Let's talk in the parking lot!""What for?"I winked at her, "Speaking my heart to you!"I gave her a seductive grin, one of those I rarely offered someone with. She was unnerving and troublesome. As Ed indicated, we could not let her off this easily.I rushed to the parking lot of the hotel. The engagement party was growing hotter and no one paid attention to our absence.Everyone's attention was on the music group we invited.As I expected, my trick toiled on her. It wasn't a surprise. She liked powerful men and it didn't cost me much to lure her.I walked out of the dark, leaning on my car.She smiled and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear."Well, what is the word of your heart?"Tobin appeared behind her, shak

Edward~It took me two days to come back to a stable condition. During that time, Olive didn't leave my side. I was elated she had become more cautious.She didn't leave my side at all and was supposed to read books and take good care of me. Seeing this side of her made me even more fall over my heels for her.I couldn't wait for the day I could walk again. But there was something that bothered me a lot.I was not sure whether to ask her or not. I was terrified to say something she didn't like and anger her. Losing her could not take any place in my dish.I was tired of losing people and being disappointed.However, I took the bitter pill and swallowed it, asking her about the reason why she freaked out and left me."Olive, stop m*ssaging my legs, they are much better now.""You were groaning in pain last night. I must keep doing these till you become able to walk and sleep better.""Then just give me your ears."She nodded. She looked even more stunning than before."I'm all ears, do

Olive~The next day, I couldn't sit by and ignore what was going on in the ICU. Layla hadn't come to visit me since this morning, and I refused to eat unless they let me see how Edward's condition was.It was around noon when Layla came inside and scowled at me."Have you not eaten?"I shook my head."I lost my relish. They do not let me see him.""You can't go inside the room. His lungs have been infected and you are not still in a perfect condition. We must take care of him.""Have you moved here because of us?"She bobbed her head, "Half of the day here and the other half in the central hospital. I'm an exception but this is temporary."I tried to blink my tears away but it kept coming."Hey, hey! Don't do this!"She approached and held my hand, her expression saddened."I'm worried. I won't go inside, just behind the gl*ss, please!"She let out a heavy breath and tapped on my hand."Only a few minutes, you know the rules."She nodded and helped me to get down the bed.She held my

I struggled to open the seat belt. And the car was drowning. My heart hurt and my lungs lacked air.I was losing consciousness when I felt a hand on my shoulder.The surroundings around me reversed. A chubby cute little boy grabbed my hand."Mommy! This way!"We began to run in the garden, it was a warm delightful sunny day. Suddenly, everything swayed into the wild waters, the boy was floating, and I struggled to hold his hand."Don't let go!"I shouted but his hand slipped and he drifted further and farther away.I screamed desperately, begging for help.I blinked and opened my eyes, masculine arms wrapped around me and pulled me up. They lifted me above the water's surface.~Edward~Her car fell into the water and I didn't hesitate, pulling over there I jumped down. Losing her was nothing I could bear.The car was drowned when I reached her and unbuckled the seat belt. I felt my lungs running out of air and pulled her out, swimming up, I pushed her up with all my might.If one of

Edward~Lately, my hands were tied. I was looking for Gregory and his influences when I heard Interpol had arrested them. I used my connections to talk with Maya's attorney in a restaurant."Why would they arrest Maya?""Are you going to help her out?"I shook my head, "If she had killed her boyfriend, why should I do that at all?""It was your wife who sent her to jail! She plotted against her and Maya won't forgive this."My head grew numb! Olive? How did she realize this? How did she manage? She couldn't be alone."Then I must thank her! I was about to trust Maya again. Besides, I want you to send a message to Mason."The attorney frowned, "We don't seek war!""Neither do I want that. Just tell him to restrain his people. If something happens to Kit again, I will burn this world, let alone his community."I menaced and he just looked at me. I got what I wanted. I needed to hear this from Olive and possibly Dane. She couldn't gather information about Maya and Gregory alone so the br

Elenore~John was sucking on my breasts. He returned last night and after greeting his grandfather, he asked to visit me in a hotel."Why did you disappear?"I breathed, gasping!He moaned and hushed me. Half an hour later, we plunged into the mattress and he dragged me close to his chest."I realized Maya failed to do the job!"I burst into laughter."How long have you known about her?"He kissed my shoulder, it tingled my skin."Last year, I saw her father in a meeting in the US. He asked me whether I could gain the CEO position. I said if I gained it, would he invest in our company? He revealed his interest."My mood soured after hearing it, "To get what in exchange?""He *ssumed I would marry his daughter!""And you would have accepted only to burn Ed's *ss!""Nope! I knew about her secrets and how dangerous she was. She killed a man to gain his wealth."My back chilled and I turned around to face him."Are you fu*king serious?"He nodded and his fingers brushed on my curves."Yup

Olive~"He has no idea that whore is tempted to kill his best friend! How can he keep his affairs with her!"My heart was broken. I felt my eyes getting warm and stopped my brain from overthinking.The next day, I was sitting in the garden when he came to me. He reached his hand out to pull the blanket upper on my shoulder when I dodged."Are you going to meet your grandpa?"My voice was cold but I tried not to make him suspicious."Yes, I am; it is cold, are you not going inside?""It is getting warm, I'm fine."He kneeled before me, putting on the same disgusting soft act."Do you need anything?""Yes, not to see your face every second!"I swallowed. I lied! Deeply, I wish we had known each other in some other way. Even though it couldn't change his desires! His heart belonged to the people in the past.He stood up and kissed my head, "I'll be back late. Make sure you eat well."I ignored him but peeked to see if he left.I jumped on my feet and stormed inside."Layla and I are goin

Maya~"Where are you, Elenore? Are you ignoring me?"I have been calling you since yesterday."I heard the news, she is pregnant! But how can you be sure that’s Edward's child?"This b*tch told me Olive was a virgin and now giving me a conceivable reason.She has changed!"You say that you have no interest in helping me, don't you?""Listen, she is pregnant. He won't give up on her. Just stop bothering yourself and wasting time."I hung up immediately, punching the table in front of me. The coffee spilled out of the cup. I looked outside of the window.I have been staying in this hotel to make sure the house I would step in was going to be his."I won't lose to a stupid girl. He wants to be with her, so I let him leave this world but not now.."I was about to dial Gregory's number when an unknown phone number appeared on my screen."Let's see each other.""Olive?""Yes, I want to talk to you.""I'll send you the location."So serious! She hung up, and I was astonished. My fingers numb
