Arvin~I let out a series of sighs and didn't even notice the waiter standing next to me."Sir, I'm here to take your order!!"“Sir!”His voice jolted me. I smiled, grabbed the menu, and ordered.My mind was spinning over the girl I saw yesterday.Many years have p*ssed since I met Nara! She might have changed a lot!But she resembled her.I looked outside of the coffee shop, I came back from abroad last year, and perhaps I missed her so much that my mind tricked me with the girl I came across yesterday. My investigations always ended futile.My eyes tracked the p*ssing people and suddenly I bolted up when I caught a glimpse of the gold butterfly necklace. It belonged to my grandmother, and I knew it very well.I gave Nara a gold necklace and another wooden one. I curved the wooden one myself and when my mother saw it, she said it was not that valuable. She mentioned Nara saved my life, and I must be more appreciative. She gave me her necklace but Nara liked the wooden one more so I g
Elenore~"Why are you late? I must see Edward's Grandmother."I sat at the table. My cheeks blushed, but she didn't seem very happy."What is that on your face? She has returned, and as I discovered she has no intention to leave. Does it cheer you up?"I shrugged and picked up the chopsticks. She ordered seafood. Having a few bites of our dinner, I grinned. This girl was too rich. Her father was certainly a promising man to hand her such a huge amount of money. She was messing around with Edward while it would lead to nowhere, to a void."Let's eat first."I began to eat with a good relish. I could use this whore to anger Edward and Olive.She ate some and then put down her fork."I have no appetite."I chewed the bite and when I was stuffed, I smirked at her."Don't give up! They didn't see you with your butler.""But they were suspected and my cousin severed his tie with me. He said I shouldn't have hurt Kit."I shook my head, "You should have not hurt his best friend. They are like
Olive~In the evening, I was preparing myself to meet the supervisor, tomorrow. She was famous for being strict. It didn't matter how small your mistake was unless it could put someone in misery, you should be cautious or bear punishment.All my emotions mingled and twisted my stomach."Why are you anxious?"I put down the notes I had taken already and looked at Mira."Well, despite spending so much time in different hospitals this one makes me worried.""Why?"She put down the cup of coffee. Taking a sip, I couldn't bear it. I just wanted to puke it out.Rushing to the restroom, I spat it out and placed my palm on my belly. Why was I so nervous? Could it be my hormones or anger?My period cycle was close, perhaps it was the reason.Going outside, I met a shady Mira, smiling."Did you vomit?"I tilted my head, "Not exactly!""But the coffee taste disgusted you!""Somehow! It is my hormones, don't worry."She nodded and giggled.My phone rang, and she left the room.Picking up the call
Edward~Sitting in the car, I called Raymond."Arrange a meeting with Arvin Davidson! Make sure my wife doesn't realize it."I hung up and looked outside. Arvin was a gentleman and not my enemy but a formidable opponent. Besides, I didn't know what his affair was with Olive. I had indulged myself in many troubles already and must be careful about this one. I didn't want to hurt him.Driving to the hospital, Simon and my men greeted me."Could you find the invaders?""Not them but we found the boys you were looking for. Tobin doesn't cooperate, are you going to extract information from them?""Yes, bring them all to the barn. The one who aimed to kill my brother should die. I'll see you in the barn tomorrow."He nodded and walked away.I hurried to his room and was surprised to see Dane."Where is your brother?""Are you still on bad terms with me?"I sighed and drew a hand in my hair."You should be on my side, should you not?""Side? Do you find us on different sides? What I don't ge
Edward~He burst out in laughter, “You are too confident Mr. Johnson but you are not God.”I clenched my fists to subside my anger. He found it comfortable to continue! What a brave man he was! It was as if he went through the death door and came back just like I did. It was as though I was looking at my own reflection."I'm here to marry the woman I promised. If you are here to ask me to step back, I won't unless she asks me to! Her heart matters to me, not your will, Mr. Johnson."He stated firmly, his voice had no hint of fear and doubt.My rival was treacherous, indeed."Wow, so you say I can't make her happy, and you are the only one capable?""She didn't look happy! Have you ever asked her about her true family and her mother? How much do you know about her hobbies and what she likes? If you care at all.""Of course, I know more than you do!"But I was a bit panicked. He didn't lie. I didn't know much about her favorite activities and whatever she wanted."I want you to stop mee
Olive~Mira came to the garden while holding the package in her hand.I smiled at her, "Did you buy me gifts?"She flustered, "I can't say; you might find a gift but I guess you must check this."I tilted my head and grabbed it, "You know that I'm angry with him because he seized the job I wished for.""I know. It is from me, not him. Considering your latest condition, I decided to buy this."I opened it and my eyes widened."Mira! Pregnancy kit?"She bobbed her head, "You have the signs, love. Your face has changed, your mood has changed, your diet has changed, and it has been two months since your last period cycle!"I bit my lower lip. I had no plan for carrying a child! But Edward had unprotected s*x with me a few times or could it be that the morning-after pills didn't work properly? Or I missed one!Before giving it a few more thoughts, my phone rang and distracted me."Excuse me, Mira! Let's talk about this later."I walked back inside and answered the phone call, it was Arvin.
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
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
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.
