Barbara closed the door behind her, and she wept like Dante was her boyfriend, she couldn't believe that she was crying over a boy she rented not that they were dating.She grabbed her laptop, she needed to mail Dante. She sighed when she realized that she didn't have Dante's email address."I hate all of you." She screamed, and Jeffrey tapped on her door."Babe, come out, I beg you, don't hurt yourself." Jeffrey pleaded behind the door, and Claudia walked towards Jeffrey. "Go home, I am sure the stubborn girl wouldn't open up for you, you shouldn't beat yourself so bad, it's not your fault."Jeffrey's heart sank, hearing that part, it's not his fault, who told Claudia it, not his fault, he is at fault, he used all those things against her because she trusted him too muchHe walked slowly to his car and sitting behind the wheel, he could practically see Dante's message, Barbara didn't get Dante's message even after she checked her mail, all thanks to Jeffrey, hacking her mail to delete
Kathleen's eyes bulge out, seeing where Barbara drove her to."Barbara, are you nut, why are we here?""I want to see him, I want to see him, I have to tell him the truth.""What truth?" Kathleen asked with worry, At that moment Dante was coming back to his condominium, he was frustrated that, he wanted time alone and his condominium was the Haven he was thinking of."Li Jun!" She called as she hurried to him, Dante wasn't expecting Barbara to show up here, not now. His gaze is cold, he is the way people describe him, the cold-hearted brutal CEO. Barbara couldn't care about his expression. "Li Jun..." Barbara wants to take his hand, but he takes a few steps back, causing her to miss his hand."What are you doing here?" His voice is colder."I am sorry." Kathleen looks at Barbara, Dante is the one that offended her not her, he is the one having bad intentions towards her. She shouldn't be the one apologizing like she is at fault."Barbara, stop apologizing to him, let's go." Kathleen gr
Barbara stands in front of her bathroom mirror, she is trying to figure out how stupid she has become, begging for a man's love."What difference am I from Jasmine? They are all right, begging for a man's love. pot calling kettle black." She scolded herself. "What has gotten over you? That you act shameless in front of that bastard, that son of a bitch."Her eyes were moist with tears, it started slowly, and her sobs became intense, as her pain wrenched her heart, she couldn't believe Dante would hurt her badly."Why did I get so stupid? So stupid that, I forget to guard my heart." She talks amid her tears, Calvin pulls the door to her room, and she is back in her room on her bed now.As soon as Calvin got the news of his daughter, he had to return, he had to protect her, she needed him now."Daughter!" Barbara ran from the bed to hug Calvin, but the man didn't bother to knock, he got her room keys as soon as he arrived at the mansion, and he was not going to let her ask him to go away
The next morning, Barbara was the first to wake up which is unlike her, she packed her stuff, and she wanted to go away, away from everything, the pain in her heart.She felt she was hurt seeing Derrick and Claudia in bed but that was just a little of her pain, Dante's betrayal is enough to make her go crazy, she is down but trying her best to be strong."You are leaving?" Hazel asked seeing her with bags."Yes, I have to go." Barbara's voice was low, yet clear like she hadn't cried herself through the night."Did your dad know about this?" Hazel asked."Yes, he permitted me to leave." Barbara takes a few step forward and then halt. "Thanks for loving me even if it's not genuine."Hazel's eyes darken, yet having a smiling face, it turns out that Claudia's plan worked a bit, if all these wouldn't happen Barbara would never leave and how Barbara could see through her all the time is one thing she can't figure out."I go on now.""Say me well to your grandfather." Barbara nodded walking b
Dante doesn't try to reach Barbara, he is back to his usual cold self, with less socializing and interaction. "Sir, you asked for the files of the newest investors." Secretary Maria asked, holding it. "Yes!" He pulled from her hand, waving his hand for her to leave, but she didn't move. "I also have something else to say." "Just discussed it with Jayden, whatever decision he arrived at, is fine by me." Secretary Maria sighed inwardly, making her way to Jayden, the young man understood Secretary Maria's gloomy face. "He didn't approve?" "He did not let me speak talk more of approving it, he said I should discuss it with you." "Fine, I will approve it but you will have to give us time to communicate your dismissal to HR, so they can put up an advert for a new secretary." "It's okay, I will miss you all." "We will miss you too, we should hold a party for you." "Really?" Secretary Maria smiled. "Don't worry, I will communicate this to you after I have discussed it wit
"It's fine, I am calm, so calm that I could tell that, you had something against me, do you think I made up those dramas in my life, so people with pity me?" "I didn't say so!" Kathleen tries to defend herself calmly. "No, that is what you said indirectly, you call me an attention seeker, it's fine, you crossed the line this time." "I am..." "Save it! I understand I am not welcome, you stop calling me and never show your face again to me since my concern is controlling you." Barbara ended the call, Kathleen sighed badly, she called Barbara back but then she didn't take the first, nor the second, the third time, Barbara picked up. "What is it?" Barbara yelled as she took the call. "Barbara! Are you ending our friendship? You are leaving me?" "Yes, you started it, you disappeared without letting me know and then you appeared giving me an attitude, I kept asking you what is it but you felt I was nosy, if we can't share personal issues then we are not friends. I have a lot of ha
Kathleen shakes her head, and Barbara's gaze becomes stronger. "He is one of the Torrence, the heir to the diamond jewelry." "That is good news, oops! he is not in love with you." "I could seduce him if there were no one in his life, he got a fiancee not even a girlfriend, he is in a serious relationship" "Oh no!" She hugged Kathleen, she must have gone through hell. 'I thought I would get over him, seeing him today, calling out to me, I remember how embarrassing it was, I didn't think he would recognize me." "He did!" "Yes, he recognized me, but I was too embarrassed to face him again, I felt cheap, even though he was calling out for me, I could see his worried face, maybe he loved me, I don't know." She sighed deeply. "I am sorry!" Barbara murmured, she couldn't believe that her friend was in pain, yet she was adding fuel to the fire, she caressed her friend's hair. "You should have been more careful." "How is it possible to be careful, When the heart is involved? How
Kathleen is sleeping peacefully, Barbara had to go on her morning workout, just jogging a few lanes, and she noticed someone was following her, she reduced her space and tried to be ready to attack if that was the case."Hi!""It's you?" Barbara said with a weak smile seeing the face of the man."Yep! Good morning!""What are you doing here?""Did your grandpa say no one else is allowed in the estate?" Barbara laughed."You shouldn't take my words to heart, I was only surprised to see you.""Oh! I have a business trip in this city, and while working in it, a little fitness for my body, will not be all bad.""Sure, let's go then." Gordon smiles inwardly, seeing that Barbara is not going to suspect him that much."The atmosphere is nice and conducive to recreation and fitness," Gordon comments seeing how far they have gone but Barbara is still not starting a conversation with him."Sure, Grandpa said they have a lot of beautiful places here in the city apart from Calvin's resorts""Reall
