“Please! Don't ignore me!” I called out loudly. It was so hard to reach his quick steps that he seemed to be running away from me. “I guarantee you won't regret hearing this, Luke Davis. I'm the person you want to work with.”It works. Although it didn't take away the look of anger and disgust on that cold, handsome face, Luke Davis stopped his steps right in front of the already-lit elevator doors.“Who are you?” he asked, fierce. “I don't have time for a woman like you.”'Haha.' I laughed inwardly in horror. The rumors were true, Luke was a cruel man, as well as a psychopath. Before this, there had never been a man who seriously ignored my beauty, despite how annoying my true nature was.But Luke Davis was the first man to reject my existence. As if his heart was already dedicated to one woman.I reached inside my black leather bag, looking for something I thought was still in there. 'Come on, found it!' I squealed with delight. I handed the gold-plated business card to his face tha
The two of us deliberately let Mattheo get to the fifth floor first to meet Angel.Before Mattheo called the girl, Luke stepped in as the main character.The conversation we had arranged would make Mattheo feel depressed. And here, my role would triumph.When Mattheo is devastated by his wife, I will come as the god of help who reaches out to him. I'll make him fall into a mud pit, let him drown, and then rescue him.Even the craziest of men would not hold back tears, at the helping hand in the deepest hole he'd fallen into.I've been thinking of a plan like this for a long time. When manipulation, hatred, and false scenarios, nothing worked to keep them apart, then it was now their turn to finish it themselves.While waiting for my plan to go smoothly, I watched the grand event of my actors on a surveillance camera.Luke, Mattheo, and Belle, the three main characters in the script I had written, were now in my hands. All that's left is to wait for my man, Mattheo, to be destroyed, th
“Ouch!”He flicked my head a second time.“Our goal isn't prison bars, you idiot,” he said irritably. “I just want to hear your plan, what your strategy is going forward to keep those two away. If I like it, I'll help you.”“And if you don't like it?” I retorted.His head tilted towards me, his lips smirking, “I'll make you replace it with my plan.”‘Fuck.' I knew it. Robert couldn't possibly be that good at obeying me. In his common sense, he had his way of separating Mattheo and Belle.Both of them, whatever it was would benefit me simultaneously. The difference is, I don't want to be on the bad side of Mattheo's view! I intend to make him fall in love with me and forget about Belle.But what's the point if Mattheo hates me first? Considering how much of an asshole Robert was, it seemed that instead of making Mattheo fall in love, he would plan to make the Sinclair family hate me.“Alright. This is my plan, listen it,” I commanded taking his attention.From how I exploited Belle's c
Belle Kensington POVVVIP Room - Davis International Hospital CorporationSheet after sheet unfolds. The reader's mind wanders out of place. The grievances of the medical man are ignored. Not on hate, but on the unbearable euphoria in the chest.Deeply embedded, lush enough to make me never stop smiling since last night.“I know you're happy, but your health could suffer if you continue like this.” For the second time this morning alone, the book I was reading was snatched away by Luke's nurse.“You can have it after you finish your breakfast and lunch!” she scolded seriously. This time her anger is unbearable. Well, I can't blame her.Since waking up from the operating room, my appetite had been sapped by an immeasurable sense of happiness.“Alright alright. Is this all? I'll eat it all,” I said with my throat above the clouds.The nurse didn't move an inch from where she stood, her eyes fix
“N-no.” She was surprised by my question and then avoided it. “You are just very close to Sir Luke Davis.”Amusement tickled my stomach when I realized that's what she was talking about. “Really? I didn't realize. Is that how you see it?”The tiny little face nodded slowly. One incident she mentioned, was where she almost forgot how my face looked when I smiled. Before the wedding, he said I was a woman who was always cheap with a smile.“But when you knew Sir Mattheo, you never looked happy,” she said though her face was unable to look back at me. “But right now, you look so happy. It's so rare to see you smile without coercion. Which makes me happy for you.”“Happy? Sure,” I muttered, now reflecting on myself.What the girl said was not entirely wrong, but it was not entirely right either. I was happy with my marriage to Mattheo. Even when I knew it was just an arranged marriage to unite our companies, I was still happy because I could love him.Even though our marriage was just a t
“You who never cared about me, don't have the luxury to say bad things about him!” In the end, my emotions broke out of control.I struggled in vain not to look pitiful in front of him. Why was it so hard? I just wanted to look strong in front of Mattheo, even if it was just once!But that man, now my husband, was the reason for every tear I shed. Now that I had my happiness, and he was ruining it too?“How long will you torture me?” I bit my lip until it bled, my voice filled with agony. “Did you ever once ask about my health, my baby? You weren't even present when I was almost killed by someone!”“YOU NEVER SAID THAT!”We all fell silent. The room was silent. The three lives standing in it gasped at how loud the voice of the man yelling at me was.My tears seemed to be stopped instantly by the screech of his voice. His breathing was ragged, and his frail-looking body was covered in hot sweat
Mattheo Sinclair's POVBelle's POV finishes hereI knew it. Ever since the incident at the apartment, Belle's view of me has changed.The severity of our marriage problems was another thing. No matter how hard, our problems were only related to the two of us as internal parties.However, since the incident in the apartment, I felt that there was another party interfering with our problems. The result was a misunderstanding. My view and her view were different. We talked while discussing unrelated things.I felt that the reason why Belle was angry with me, refusing my invitation to meet, was because she didn't know I had come that night.“I came that night, Belle,” I said not playing around. “Don't tell me, you also forgot about your call asking me to come help you immediately.”“What? How could I forget!?” She barked at my words. “How could you say such a thin
When everyone's attention was drawn to the incoming group of guards, I took the opportunity to carry Belle out of her room.“Ack! Miss Belle!” Angel belatedly noticed her disappearance one second after I ran away.I deliberately took the hallway with the most crowded crowd, so that the guards chasing me would lose track of me even more.Clasping Belle's IV bottle to the back of my neck, I used all the strength in my legs to run away as fast as I could.“Stupid Mattheo! Stupid! Stupid!” Belle raged in my arms. The weak punches of her two hands, attacking my chest, rebelled to be released.“I told you I don't want to talk to you! Are you deaf!?” she started crying with both hands that kept hitting me.My guilt came to the surface. Usually, my compassion never appeared even if she was crying her eyes out under my feet.This time, my legs stopped on their own. Her sad face made my heart feel tight, tigh
Belle's POV“Nggg~” Raven whined in tears when I separated him from his soft pillow. Not much different from her brother, Christ, who had already cried when his deep sleep was awakened. I really couldn't bear to wake them up in their unhealthy state.'However, Mattheo is already in Japan. It's only a matter of time until he finds the location of this hospital and my nightmare will come true.' I reminded myself not to let my guard down for a second in this critical situation.“Forgive your mother, my dear. I'm sorry.” I repeatedly apologized to my two babies who had to become victims of their parents' problems. I had to do this now or never.While Robert was still talking to someone on his phone, while the hospital was still too quiet for the guards to find me. Once again, I had to leave everything behind for my two babies. I'm not sure I would have survived if I hadn't hurried now.As soon as I found out Mattheo had reached Japan, the stitches in my stomach were excruciating. My stoma
Natalia’s POVI never expected to get a surprise like this, Mattheo's coming to the hospital and seeing me alone had managed to make my heart beat.I never imagined that Mattheo would even give me another surprise that was even more shocking than the previous one, not only did it make me do heart exercises, but it almost made my heart fall out of place because I was so surprised to see Mattheo in front of my eyes when I was just a few steps away from getting into the car.It was even more shocking that he was waiting for me there, like he already knew what I was going to do after this. Mattheo, he couldn't possibly know that I was going to leave and escape through the back door of the hospital and he couldn't possibly know that I kept a car in the backyard of this hospital either, right?''So, what are you going to say again this time? What are you going to explain about everything that has happened this time, where are you going and what made you decide to escape from this hospital?'
Natalia’s POVWho would have thought, a few moments after the phone call with Ragen had been disconnected, the doctor came back into the hospital room and he again checked my condition, which was still lying weakly on the hospital bed even though it had been assisted by drugs and also an IV tube that was still attached to my wrist.I will not waste this good opportunity. I will ask the doctor if I can get out of the hospital right now, so that I can meet Mommy Ragen without getting suspicion from anyone, including Mattheo if he finds me out there again.Unfortunately what I hoped for didn't really come true, the doctor stuck to his decision of not allowing me to be discharged from the hospital. My body that was still weak and not fully healthy was used as an excuse to keep me here.But I also can't stay here like this, I have to go and see Ragen before she does something much worse, she could tell Mattheo and twist the facts so that Mattheo only hates me.No, I can't let that happen!
Natalia’s POV''Mattheo, can I talk to you outside? There's something I want to talk to you about,'' Robert said which made me turn my head, wondering to myself what Robert was going to talk to Mattheo about?Was he going to say something very important that I shouldn't know so Robert asked Mattheo to leave?Shit, why can't my brain think properly? Even if Robert asked Mattheo to talk outside together, I was sure that Robert wouldn't tell the truth. Yes, he is also the one who has always helped me, if what I hid from Mattheo was revealed, it would also drag his name and Robert would not do that, I'm sure.Never mind, I should just trust him for now. Trying to convince myself that Robert will definitely not do anything wrong, he must have thought about it and considered it carefully before doing something.''Talking together? What do you want to tell me, is there something important?''Robert without hesitation immediately nodded to confirm what Mattheo had questioned, confirming that
Natalia’s POV''Why does your face look so pale after seeing me? Your reaction is so exaggerated, it's like you're seeing a ghost.'' Mattheo mocking me again while I was still trying to convince myself that what I was seeing was real, that Mattheo's presence in front of my eyes was not a hallucination due to the effects of the medicine I had taken.But his coming to the hospital and visiting me was real.He was really in front of me and was even looking at me intently, my palms were getting wet when I saw the way Mattheo was looking at me. With my nerves getting the better of me, I tried to act casual despite the fact that my heart was almost out of place.I'm afraid that Mattheo knows the truth about me, I'm afraid that he knows what I'm hiding from him, and I'm also afraid that Mattheo knows what makes me here now.This stress that I'm feeling, I'm sure it has something to do with Mommy Ragen's request that told and forced me to follow her will, assist her to seize custody of both M
Natalia’s POVI never thought that things would never go as smoothly as Mommy Ragen wanted, the process of taking custody of the child that she wanted was not as easy as imagined.'There was too much drama to be done, too many lies that needed to be prepared in order to get everything that Mommy Ragen wanted.'However, the fire of desire that has been burning so big inside her makes she completely unadvised in any way, she still imposes her will and insists on doing everything possible so that her goal can be achieved immediately.Even I could only stay silent and pensive staring in disbelief at her in front of there who was still talking to the Lawyer to discuss what they would do next so that the custody of Belle's two children could fall into the hands of her grandmother who was none other than Ragen.I did not expect that her ambition to control all the assets inherited to the two babies would make her desperate to do anything, even to the point of trying to seize the custody of B
Ragen’s POV''Robert, no matter what happens. I hope you will keep your mouth shut from everyone, I don't want all this to leak out to others and put me in danger. Mommy would immediately suspect me if what she is planning to do is leaked to others, you want to help me right?''Robert immediately nodded his head, agreeing to what Natalia said to hide everything he knew. To keep everyone's mouth shut so that what was happening here wouldn't leak out.''Of course, you don't have to worry about me leaking it. I will definitely keep my mouth shut with everything that has happened, just relax.'' he reassured Natalia and managed to make her smile with relief, at least Robert could be trusted for now.''That's good, for the time being, we should hide everything that happened from everyone, especially Mattheo, he shouldn't know what his mother is planning. I myself am also reluctant to get involved with that oldman madness, I don't know what the end will be, but I can guess that things will d
Ragen’s POVFrom where I was sitting, I could see Natalia shaking her head, looking very distrustful of me who dared to go against the law to get what I wanted.Of course I dare because it's not the law that I will fight against that I have in mind, but the property that will belong to Belle's two children that will also belong to me if I manage to get custody of the two children.Whatever she thinks, I don't care what she thinks here either, I'm not asking for her opinion. But I'm just forcing her and the lawyer in front of me right now to do what I want.Yes, not just the lawyer. But Natalia must also comply with what I want, whatever I tell her, she must obey!''Why are you shaking your head like that, Natalia? What are you thinking?'' I asked her, furious too because more and more Natalia seemed very out of line with my mindset.''Nothing, Mom. Just.. I think I need to go to the restroom first, You just continue the conversation with Mr. lawyer.''Natalia immediately rose to her f
Ragen’s POV''Natalia, I only asked you to accompany me to the legal counsel. Why are you so scared of being found out by Mattheo? After all as long as we keep quiet and don't tell anyone then it will all be safe right, or do you really want me to do something to you first so that you will listen to what I say and make you want to obey my orders?''I stared at Natalia's two eyeballs so intently, giving off an intimidating aura that was so strong as to pressure Natalia and make her give up on her initial decision to refuse my orders.“Please, I can’t do this,” She’s still rejecting me.“You certainly know what I mean, Natalia. It's not a difficult thing to influence Mattheo to hate you by bringing up his children's names, I can do that if you continue to refuse me. Ah, how about I tell Mattheo that you secretly want to harm his children?''Natalia looked surprised when I suddenly turned my head to look at her, I also saw her body jumped up when I suddenly turned my head and looked at h
