With haste, Hailey ran upstairs to drive Hazel out of the house. She doesn't care if Williams would attempt to punch her because of this.
All Hailey needed was for Hazel to leave her husband alone. Why should she chase after someone's husband? Are there no other handsome-looking men out there?
Why then must it be Williams?
Immediately, Hailey got to the door, she attempted to open the door as she held the doorknob.
Just when she was about to twist the doorknob, she froze at what was echoing in her ears.
“What! I hope it isn't what I'm thinking,” she muttered and gently placed her ear on the door.
To her greatest surprise, the noise coming out from the room informed her about what was happening inside there.
They were already having affairs on her matrimonial bed.
Just after she noticed this, she became lifeless and weak. Her grip on the doorknob suddenly loosened.
If someone told her that Williams would one day do such a thing to her, she wouldn't have believed it.
She so much trusted and loved Williams to the point that she never saw his mistakes, even if he did any.
This was the same man who promised to be with her in all circumstances until death does them part.
How everything suddenly changed overnight is what she was still pondering.
No, Williams can't just say he divorced her just because of that lady. He might have been planning to do this beforehand.
Hailey engaged in her second version of weeping. Her entire body was shaking. She was limbless and confused.
Hailey turned around and rested her back against the door. She slowly slipped down until her butts touched the ground and her back remained on the door.
She was bitterly sobbing as though she lost a loved one.
Unfortunately, Hailey was thinking of how she would return to her parents and beg them for mercy.
Would they even allow her to step her feet into their house, talk more of giving her their listening ears?
It would be hard because she disobeyed them. She was seriously warned not to marry Williams, but she wouldn't listen.
The worst thing was that, since she married Williams, she blacklisted all her family members' phone numbers.
This proved that she hasn't heard nor visited them in the past few years since she married Williams.
Hailey sprawled on the floor as she cried her heart out.
Unfortunately, Williams and Hazel, who were inside the bedroom, weren't hearing her cries because their attention was focused on what they were doing.
Hailey couldn't tell how she was feeling at the moment. It was as if the entire world hated her. Her life was a mess at the moment.
Even though she sprawled at the door sobbing, she could still hear the sound coming out from inside the bedroom.
The more the noise displayed in her ears, the more hurtful she gets.
Hailey couldn't endure it. She used the last strength in her and stood with continued sobbing.
She sniffed and wiped away the tears on her face with the back of her hands.
Hailey dragged her feet to the visitors' room to sleep there. It was already night and she needed to rest.
She was exhausted because of the birthday party she attended.
However, the housemaid wasn't aware of what was going on between her boss and her madam.
On the other hand, the gatekeeper was aware of the divorce paper, but he wasn't aware of what was currently happening.
Immediately Hailey managed and reached the visitors' room door, she held the doorknob with trembling hands.
She stiffened and gazed at the door as she was lost in thoughts.
“Hailey, you are trash and a fool!” she cursed herself. “You deserve everything that is happening in your life right now. Yes, you deserve it,” she added before she furiously twisted the doorknob and opened the door.
As soon as she entered the room, she slammed the door behind her and locked it inside to avoid disturbance from anyone, especially her maid.
Her maid would be sorrowful if she discovered what Hailey was passing through. She so much likes and respects Hailey like her biological elder sister.
Hailey gestured towards the bed as she paused with her weeping.
“Tears won't solve the issue at hand, Hailey. So better save your tears because you might need them some days. Just think of the best thing to do currently.” She encouraged herself with her arms crossed above her chest as she stood in one position and fixed her gaze on the bed.
She took a few more steps towards the bed and sat on it with her arms still folded over her chest.
“This is the highest level of wickedness, Williams. H-how will you do such a thing to someone like me without sympathy? You will pay for the pain you made me pass through. I can never forgive you. Not even in my next life.”
She spat out angrily as if Williams was listening to her.
However, amidst these thoughts, something popped up in her mind.
“I think the best way to punish him is to poison his meal, so he can die. I would rather not see his annoying face again. I hate him to the core. He is a devil.”
Just after mumbling those words through gritted teeth, she stood up and chuckled.
“You will be shocked by tomorrow morning, Williams. I will get rid of you. Never would you see tomorrow noon. I don't care if I will be thrown into prison after this. All I want is for you to die and leave this planet and never to be remembered again.”
Hailey was outraged that she couldn't even tell what she was talking about.
Anger can make one say what he or she can't do in real life.
However, judging from how angry Hailey appears, one can easily tell that she meant what she was talking about.
How will one feel after being betrayed by someone you so much cherish and sacrifice everything you have just to help them?
Hateful, right?
The only thing Hailey's mind was telling her presently was to murder someone, and nothing more.
Nonetheless, she was a hundred percent ready to follow her mind.
Williams doesn't deserve to live…!
Hailey managed to sleep that night, but she couldn't sleep early until 1:00 AM, at midnight.She was planning to shock Williams that morning, but the opposite just happened, which Hailey never saw coming.A heavy knock came from the door, which made Hailey jump off her sleep. It was so loud and terrifying that she thought that arm robbers had come to kidnap her.“Hailey!” an angry, familiar voice echoed, which sent a shiver down her spine. She was lost about what was going on.Hailey was still feeling sleepy and dizzy because she didn't have enough sleep. And for this reason, she was yet to make sense of what was happening.“Who is there at the door?” Hailey asked with a low voice as she fixed her gaze on the door.“Come out here, you barren woman!” Williams' angry voice echoed.Immediately, he said that Hailey's face changed over time. She now knows who was at the door.She frowned and furiously went down from the bed. However, before she could gesture towards the door, she scanned a
“Please inform them that I have realized my mistake, and I'm here to apologize.” Hailey fell on her knees and pleaded with the gatekeeper to beg her parents to please come to her rescue.Just after her knees completely touched the sandy ground, that's when it dawned on her that she had sustained injuries on both of her knees.“Ahh…” she shrieked sorrowfully and quickly stood up to avoid causing the injuries to flow out more blood.“I'm sorry, madam, but I can't go in there to talk to your dad. He might end up slapping me. He doesn't look like someone ready to listen to your pleading. Just respect yourself and go away.” The gatekeeper explained to her as he attempted to close the gate, but Hailey quickly stopped him from doing so by protecting the gate from closing. “Please do not do this to me. Have you forgotten who I am? I'm your boss's first child.” she boldly spoke, thinking that she would scare the young man.“I don't care who you are to my boss. You have been disowned by him,
Meanwhile, Mrs. Amelia was happy because she would be able to see her grandchild before leaving the earth. But she wasn't aware that her son-in-law had divorced her daughter.“C-can I see her, please?” she pleaded with a smile curving her lips.“Sure, why not?” Dr. Derrick said,“ But she isn't awake.” he added before leading Mrs. Amelia inside the ward.Mrs. Amelia's smile never disappeared as she gestured towards her pregnant daughter, who was laying on the hospital bed.She stood above Hailey and gazed at her with continued smiles. Mrs. Amelia was delighted with the good news, which she was sure that Hailey wasn't aware about.“When will she wake up?” she curiously asked the doctor.“Hmm… A few minutes from now. So, I guess you should have a seat before she recovers.” Dr. Derrick responded with a calm voice, and Mrs. Amelia nodded in obedience.She was offered a seat by a nurse who was asked by Dr. Derrick to look after Hailey.After Mrs. Amelia sat down on the chair, Dr. Derrick smi
Tension filled the atmosphere, as both Hailey and her mom were still finding it hard to believe Dr. Derrick.On the other hand, Mrs. Amelia's driver and the nurse were busy smiling at the commotion without involving themselves in the scene because they had no idea what was happening.“Even if I'm pregnant with triplets, I don't need a man in my whole life again. No man should dare come anywhere closer to me, not even you, Derrick. All men are liars and devilish. True love doesn't exist anymore!”Hailey spoke through gritted teeth and stepped down from the sick bed. Everyone became dumbfounded, including Mrs. Amelia. She was amazed by Hailey's reactions because of what the doctor said.Hailey walked up to Dr. Derrick, inching her face closer to his as if she wanted to bite his nose off his face.“I don't regret dumping you, Derrick. I regret giving my heart to another b*tch, thinking that he loved me. Yes, I made a terrible mistake by allowing fake love to blindfold my eyes. I wish I k
As soon as Hailey and her mom stepped into the living room, Hailey froze at the door upon seeing her dad sitting on one of the couches and fixed his gaze on the wide television before him. He was listening to the current news.“What's wrong, Hailey?” Mrs. Amelia inquired after noticing Hailey's sudden pause.Instead of responding to her mom, she swallowed hard as she gazed at her father with fear.Just as she stood staring at her father without answering her Mom, Eric appeared from nowhere like a ghost.“Hailey,” he called out with a happy face as he rushed and hugged her.She squatted to his level and pecked his cheeks with continued smiles. “ I missed you, Eric,” said Hailey.“I missed you too, big sis,” Eric responded in a baby voice and smiled at his sister.However, Mr. Grayson pretended as if he wasn't aware of their presence. He continued listening to his news with his gaze fixed on the television, but his mood ha
Derrick was on his way home with a happy face. He couldn't believe he would meet Hailey again. But here they are, fate has helped them meet again.The only thing he needed currently was to work hard to win Hailey's heart, even though it would be tough.All he needed to do was to show her care and affection. He just needs to take things easy with Hailey, or else he would lose her.However, Derrick's greatest fear is if Hailey decides to make a U-turn to come back and claim Hailey. That's where the issue would start.He has to be fast, yet slow, with things if he wants to successfully win Hailey's heart and heal her wounds.Derrick was lost in thoughts as he drove on the expressway. Suddenly, Derrick spotted a car crossing his path without honking.He quickly applied the brake, but it was too late for him to stop his car because the other driver was already too close.Just as he had thought, his car crashed into the car in
After Williams's car was fixed, they left the mechanic shop and headed to Hazel's father's mansion.Yes, Hazel was a billionaire's daughter, who was madly in love with Williams since the day they met at a stadium.On that fateful day, her father took everyone in the family to go watch a live football game competition. Williams and Hazel met. Even after discovering that Williams's parents were poor, Hazel continued loving him. It wasn't because Williams was paying her bills, but she never cared because she was drunk with his love.A poor man's son who always finds true love despite his unfaithfulness. The truth is that Hazel was the first lady he dated. A lady who never bothered about the background he came from.The reason was that many billionaires' sons had approached her claiming to love her, but it was all fake. As soon as they use her, they dump her.Hazel encountered this from four young billionaire chi
“Dad, Mom, this is unfair and unacceptable. Why should you arrange my marriage with someone I have never met? I won't and will never marry him.” Hazel spat angrily.“But why, if I may ask?” her Mom demanded.“Because my heart belongs to someone else and not a stranger I'm seeing for the first time.” Hazel furiously announced as she glared at the three young, handsome men sitting on the couches.“Who is this young man whom your heart belongs to? And why is it that we don't know him, Hazel?” Hazel's dad, Mr. Remington, inquired with skeptical brows.“Yes, you don't know him, that's why he's here to introduce himself,” said Hazel as she pointed at Williams.Immediately after she said that, her parents took their gazes to Williams, who quickly averted his gaze away after noticing that Mr. Remington and his wife were trying to look in his direction.Hazel's parents intensely stared at Williams for a few minutes as they tried to captur
Hailey stood silent for a long time, pondering what to tell Williams, so he could free her. They gazed at each other and remained in that position for what seemed like ages as the atmosphere became suffocated for Hailey.“Are you serious about what you are saying?” she finally asked with a low voice, her eyes wide open with astonishment.“Of course, yes. Do I appear like someone who is joking? I guess I'm not dressing like a joker, Hailey.” he smirked.She shook her head and said, “You must be kidding me, Williams. Here are the keys, take them, so I can move out of this place. I have forgiven you for breaking my heart into a thousand pieces. But just because I forgave you doesn't mean I will accept you back as my husband. I don't need any man in my life again, no matter how wealthy the man is. You betrayed me, Williams.”“Come on, Hailey. No one is above mistakes. We all make mistakes, so please take that as a mistake. Or are you trying
After a week of looking after her ex-husband in the hospital, Williams was discharged when the medical doctor was convinced that his health level had improved.Using her car, Hailey asked her chauffeur to drive Williams to the apartment he rented. Just as they halted in front of the apartment, a lady approached them after she spotted him coming out as he was helped by one of Hailey's two guards.Although she knew that her life was in danger, she didn't go out with her convoy, rather, she asked only two of her guards to follow her. Her chauffeur and the head guard.“Good day, madam,” the lady greeted Hailey with a friendly smile.“Good day, and how are you doing?” Hailey responded as she tried to think if she knew her somewhere, but she couldn't recall seeing such a face before.Upon seeing that Hailey was pondering more than she should, the lady said, “My name is Ariana, and I'm Williams's neighbor. It has been a while since I last saw him, that's why I'm here to see him, madam.”“Ohh,
Nancy couldn't tell whether she should smile or not. She couldn't believe that the Derrick she knew in her childhood was the same Derrick she had been mingling with for a long time without noticing it.Conversely, Derrick was also lost in thoughts as he wondered if what his Mom said was true.Within minutes, Mrs. Dorothy came back with an old picture in her hand, with a smile plastered on her face.“Here,” Mrs. Dorothy placed the medium size picture before them. She said, "There are two families in the picture. My husband, me, and Derrick. The other family was standing with Nancy and her parents. Can any of you remember this picture?”They lifted their heads and gazed at each other skeptically, trying to recall everything, but they couldn't because it had been ages since the picture was snapped.Aside from that, they were still kids.“No, I can't recall anything. However, I could only recall that I had a good childhood friend who was a girl. I can't remember anything more than that.” D
Now, the next day after closing from the office, Derrick didn't go directly to the winter hospital to check on Williams, rather, he took Nancy to his house.On arriving home, Derrick hastily dropped from the car, he walked around to the other side and romantically opened the car door for Nancy to come out.“Welcome to my house, Nancy,” he said with a wide smile as he dramatically bowed to her.“Thank you, Dr. Derrick.” Nancy appreciated him with a wide smile on her face.“My pleasure,” he muttered and gently closed the car door.Derrick led her into the house, as Nancy majestically walked behind him like a princess, perhaps a bride.“Once more, welcome to my house, Nancy.” he bowed to her again as he opened the entrance for Nancy to enter the lounge.She smiled at him and held her purse in front of her with her two hands.Just as they stepped into the lounge, Mimi, Derrick's younger sister, sighted them, and she hastily jumped off the couch and ran to her big brother with her arms wid
Just as Williams recognized the person standing by the door, his heartbeat skipped in seconds.However, Hailey's back was still against the door because she never bothered to check who it was, as what Williams was telling her was making her heartthrob.“Williams,” Derrick finally called out and gestured towards them with a fake calm expression on his face.“Hey, Hailey,” said Derrick as he came closer to her.“Hey, Williams. You are here…” Hailey nodded as she was still contemplating if she should bring Justin, her son, to see his father.She never wanted anything like a ‘relationship’ to join her with any man again, but Justin was becoming a barrier to the promise she made to herself, which she wasn't willing to break.“Yeah, I just heard from the officer, so I decided to come to check on Williams and know how he is doing.” he responded and then asked, “Where are you going? It seems like you were about to go out?”“Yeah-yeah, I was. I want to go and get some food for Williams. If I'm
In a hospital called Winter Hospital, Williams slowly opened his eyes, his head throbbing with pain. His vision was blurry, and it took him a moment to adjust to the light. His eyes began to focus, he realized he was lying in a hospital bed. He looked down at his chest, where he saw a large bandage covering a wound.“Where am I?” he croaked, his throat dry and sore. He scanned the room, trying to figure out where he was and what happened that he ended up there.Suddenly, a woman opened the door and entered, causing Williams to turn his gaze to the door.Immediately the lady entered, Williams repeated the same question he asked earlier,“ Where am I?”“You're in the hospital," she responded and gestured towards him with a slight smile displayed on her face.Williams struggled to remember what happened, but then, the woman standing beside the hospital bed took his attention, causing his head to hurt.“H-Hailey?” Williams muttered as he attended to sit up.“Hey, don't do that, Williams.
“What's wrong, Dr. Derrick? You have been moody since you arrived at the office. Couldn't you get the contract you told me about? Or is it about that so-called lady you always tell me about?” Nancy asked Derrick a thousand and one question within one breath.Derrick was in his lab coat, sitting on his office chair with his hands resting on the table before him, as hospital files and equipment played with his sight on the table.Derrick shut his eyes and angrily bit his lower lip, and remained in that position for a few minutes.However, Nancy already knew that since the day Hailey was brought to the hospital by her Mom, Derrick's behaviors had changed.Occasionally, he looks moody. Perhaps because Hailey might have annoyed him. Another time, he looks happy because Hailey did what he was pleased with.This made Nancy grin at him, wondering if Derrick was moody because of Hailey, his so-called ex-girlfriend.“You are not responding. What's wrong?” she asked once more with a worrisome fa
“What are you doing in my house? And who told you my address, huh? Why should you enter my house without my permission?” Nancy yelled at the young man as she motioned towards him through gritted teeth.“Pardon me for coming to your house without informing you. However, I can explain how I got your house address.” the young man responded with a calm voice.“What's your name again?” Nancy croaked as she frowned at him.“Emmett. My name is Emmett,” he said repeatedly.“Good,” Nancy muttered,“ kindly walk out of my father's house, Emmett, before I lose my cold…”“What's happening here?” Nancy Mom, who was descending the staircase, interrupted.With haste, Nancy averted her gaze away from Emmett to her Mom.“Mom,” Nancy angrily called out,“ why should you welcome a stranger into our house, and yet you let him sit in the living room alone? What if he stole something and escaped with it?”“Hey, Nancy. I'm not a thief, please. Why should I think of stealing your property?” Emmett smirked.“I d
“Sh*t!” Nancy, who was a nurse in the hospital where Derrick was working, cursed through gritted teeth as she paced up and down the uncompleted building.“This is your first assignment and you guys failed me despite the huge amount of money I gave you.``Nancy grimaced at the bulky four young men standing in front of her with guns in their hands, and hidden knives around their waist.“Forgive me, ma'am. I didn't lose the target. It's just that a certain young man spotted me when I was about to shoot, and he saved her from the bullets, causing him to be the victim. There was no way I could aim at her the second time because her guards were already aware of the gunshot. I was left with no choice but to escape for my life.” one of the young, bulky men explained with an apologetic expression.Now, Nancy, the lady who was crushing on Derrick, found out that Derrick was also trying to date Hailey, who was already a single Mom.However, another young man was also crushing on Nancy, and he conf
