Cinderella's love story Chapter 110 The bitter taste of love 3
Jaime also quickly walked to the front door as soon as she entered. Like before, he didn't say anything to her but just looked at her as if he were her master and she was the maid following him."Are you two back?" A voice greeted her as she walked through the door, taking off her shoes and putting them on the shelf. Vivian felt everything around her freeze as she saw her mother - Jaime's mother - standing before her. Sunken face, big round eyes smiling as if the sun never sets.Vivian finally looked at her with a blank mind, all kinds of emotions racing through her at the speed of a roller coaster. From abandonment to seeing her again as Jaime's mother. All the anger and despair that had followed her like a shadow over the years remained unforgotten.Vivian looked at her both angrily and wondering if the woman, like Jaime, mourned her death. However, Vivian had no reason for her mother to apologize because her mother believed it was not her fault that she died.She had nothing to apo

Vivian felt uncomfortable, maybe that was what made her angry that everything was part of Jaime's plan. Vivian had loved him as much as he loved her, he would admit that. He had been a fool and so had she. They are no different, two liars with a goal in mind.He can understand her anger to an equal extent because he was upset when he found out she cheated on him, but unlike two years ago, Vivian won't be able to walk out that door again.He turned around to follow her and hugged her from behind, forcing her to drop her suitcase. He then picked her up. Vivian struggled. He threw her onto the bed more roughly than intended. Vivian was dropped onto the mattress, he held her down while she tried to stand up.She pushed her hands up against him. In a constant struggle, he fought to keep her hands pinned down on either side of her head. Panting, she rolled her eyes at him.How she pursed her lips to bite back the anger made his heart pound against his chest. Whether angry or ignoring him, s

"What do you want to eat?" Jaime asked as he drove past a restaurant. He could see black smoke rising above Vivian's head. She's still upset with him. Without answering, Vivian looked out the window.Losing patience, he asked again. "I asked what do you want to eat?"Having a bad temper, Vivian turned to him angrily. "I don't want to eat. Why don't you ask yourself?"She doesn't have to be so rude if she's angry with him like he crossed a boundary or invaded her privacy.Impatient and angry with Vivian, he bought a loaf of bread, devoured it, and continued on his way.If she was at all curious about where they were going, she said nothing. He went to a construction site that was going to be a new shopping mall.He came to monitor the plans and to confirm whether workers were following safety measures.Gravel and rocks crunched under the tires as he put the car in park and got out. The air smelled of cement, sweat, metal, cranes, and heavy machinery.A mist of rough stones flowed into
Cinderella's love story Chapter 113 Nightmare 3
A long minute passed after he watched in horror as firefighters pulled an injured man out from underneath the rocks.Walking forward while losing his balance, he almost tripped when he discovered a girl kneeling in front of a man, tending to his wound. Her ponytail was loose and messy.Vivian wore a classic black and white shirt this morning...Jaime took a step forward but couldn't take him any further. He's scared. What if he's mistaken? What if this girl isn't his Vivian? He doesn't want to be disappointed."Vivian..." His frame trembled. "Vivian..." Swallowing, he called out louder. This time his voice came out more desperate. "Vivian."He noticed the girl turn to look at him. Through her messy hair and dusty face, she was still her, his Vivian.A sniffle escaped his lips. He felt relieved. Jaime almost cried and rushed forward as Vivian stood up.Jaime hugged her to assure himself that she was still alive. Then releasing her, he held her face between his hands, smiling tremblingl
Cinderella's love story Chapter 114 Nightmare 4
Vivian was surprised when she looked at her in the mirror. My hair is messy like I just fought with a cat. Sand dust still clung to her face, all from the wind that blew when the building collapsed. Clothes are torn. The expensive shirt is now wrinkled.No wonder everyone acts so exaggerated. Her feet hurt from wearing high heels that are not suitable for the built environment, which makes her feel exhausted.Quickly removing her clothes, she took a warm bath, got dressed, and walked out. Jaime did not enter the room, so she made herself comfortable on the bed.As she lay there in complete silence, she thought about how Jaime had called her name in utter fear, despairing at the thought of her buried beneath the sand."For the past two years, every hour of the day, do you know what I've done? I mourn for you. I grieve for you more than I grieve for my father."Did Jaime think she was going to die? Was he as scared as he was that day when he came to find her in the burning apartment com

“You should at least let me see you off,” Vivian said."Do not need." Jerry smiled. "Rest, we'll talk later.""Sure."They will not meet. Jaime makes sure of that. As soon as Jerry finishes his case, there will be a lot of other work lined up for him. Jaime asked Aiden to prepare everything in advance."I'll see you off," Jaime suggested and received a surprised look from Jerry. After saying goodbye to Vivian again, Jaime walked Jerry down the hallway toward the front door. "How was work? Not too much for you?""Are not." Jerry coldly replied. "Vivian wasn't at her apartment this morning. I was surprised when she said she was here."Jaime turned to face the lawyer as they reached the front door. "Of course, she's here."Jerry looked at him for a moment and then said. "I'm not sure what's going on between you two, but Vivian still has a lot to figure out.""I don't think she's someone you need to worry about so sincerely," Jaime said. "I won't hurt her if that's what you're thinking."

"Aiden stopped by to give this to you." Vivian put the file down on the table. She looked at him once and then walked past, planning to spend the rest of her time in the room sleeping since she didn't bring any books. Maybe she'll spend the whole morning playing games."Vivian," Jaime called. "Can't you sit down with me for a moment?"She turned to look at him but her attention fell on the gate outside when the bell rang. She doesn't know who came or whether Aiden came back because he forgot to say something.Vivian was about to move towards the door when Jaime stood up and stopped her, saying that he would open the gate. A familiar deep voice greeted Jaime in the doorway before a pair of twins entered. Vivian's eyes widened, confused when she saw the children.A male voice laughed happily. "When I said I was coming to your house, they were so excited.""Come in." Jaime invited and closed the door.Vivian raised her head from the children when that deep voice called her name. "Vivian?

As he struggled to calm the sudden emotions that were spreading throughout his body, Jaime watched his friend leave. He doesn't want anyone to see him like that, acting like a child and throwing a tantrum because the girl he likes doesn't return his feelings."Did you ask why she gets angry with you?" Clinton calmly asked after Jaime remained silent."Because I put that lawyer in the lowest position in my firm," Jaime said. "I interrupted their lives, I pulled her away from him.""Did she say that?"Suddenly embarrassed, Jaime remained silent. Those were all his assumptions, but, he believed them to be correct. There is no other reasonable explanation for Vivian's behavior towards him.Meeting again after two years, she contacted him because of Jerry and then also Jerry. During the conversations, she also reminded Jerry, it was never him."You said you argued with her, and you regret it." Clinton reminded. "Do you remember? You've told me so many times about it, I don't think I'll eve

5 months later...The road she traveled over the years was full of rocks. Vivian doesn't understand why small things turn into such great things. Life is a circle, she ran a big circle and finally returned to the starting point.She learned that with perseverance, one can go further and that weightless dreams can take flight one day. When the road is long and dark, it means the end is near, there will be light at the end of the road.All we need to do is put in effort and courage, no one can get out of their dark path without scars.That's difficult. Her heart is small and scared but the fear is less now than before.Vivian finds it funny how dramatic and difficult situations have happened to her and Jaime. However, in the end, they somehow remained together hand in hand.She couldn't know if they were soul mates in existence, but she believed that deep down, they had built an eternal bond somewhere from the beginning. That bond remains even after two years apart.She was happy that J

"Wait." Jaime quickly pulled Vivian back as soon as she opened the bedroom door.The bags hanging from her arms collided with each other. She asked with irritation. "What's up?""Close your eyes. Don't open them until I tell you to."Vivian snorted. "Is this some trick from that stupid book Clinton lent you?"His eyes became warm. "Of course not." Even though that's a lie. This was a cliché idea he read from a chapter in a book Clinton gave him: How to Surprise a Woman.Vivian closed her eyes.“Did you close your eyes?” He leaned forward to check."Yes." She nodded. Grabbing her shoulder, he led her into the room, gently closing the door behind him. Turning on the light, he led her toward the bathroom and stopped right in the doorway."OK, you can open your eyes." He said and smiled with satisfaction when Vivian saw rose petals floating on the bathtub. The scent of lavender and rosemary flows from lit candles placed around the rim of the tub.Vivian smiled impressed. "Are you serious?

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Vivian sobbed and pulled her mother close as if if she loosened her grip, she might lose her again.It's been a long time since she touched her mother's hair, smelled her scent, or hugged her tightly. All the regrets and pain shattered in that moment, nothing was more important than this moment. "Mom."Their reunion was spent crying and apologizing. Tears fell from all the hurt they had carried over the years. Each tear carries a different story every time it falls.There hasn't been a day since their father passed away that their small family of three has felt so complete."Look at you two." Her mother cried, stroking both of her children. The fact that they survived without their mother's warm hands, she said in a hoarse voice. "You two have grown up very well. My children.""I brought my daughter. Do you want to meet her?" Hodja asked. Picking up baby Esther from the ground, he gave the baby to Mrs. Maggie. "Esther, this is your grandmother. It's your gra
Cinderella's love story Chapter 136 My closest family 2
Vivian stayed at Hodja's house, hiding there for a few days until she calmed down and thought things through, but she felt like she was causing trouble for his small family. They are happy. She couldn't go to Jerry's house, so her brother's house was the last thing on her mind.First thing in the morning, Aiden called to let her know she didn't have to go to Jaime's office anymore, and instead she could work with Jerry.The past few days, burying herself in work had helped take other thoughts from her mind, but returning to the solace of Hodja's apartment was completely different. The room was very quiet.She lay on the cold bed and couldn't sleep. When she has nothing to do, she often walks around the apartment, stopping to look out the window.For a week, she let her mind wander and her heart rest for a while. Personal space helps clear any blockages in her mind. The fog began to gradually dissipate, and she could almost breathe normally again. Her chest is not too heavy.All that w

"Why do you want to be my mother now? Why should I call you mother, when you're not there for me or for Hodja, why?" Bitterness filled Vivian's heart. "I don't even know you. Jaime has considered you his biological mother for half his life, more so than Hodja and I. So how do I call you mother?"Vivian's eyebrows furrowed as she looked toward her mother for an answer, but she said nothing. Breathing out a light breath, Vivian turned away to wipe away her tears."If you were there when Hodja almost died twice, I would have knelt and admitted my mistake." Vivian declared. "But you weren't there. Others can proudly say that their mothers raised them well, but Hodja and I couldn't have that happiness. I raised him in your place. I also support myself. We never lived like other people. Waking up to my mother's breakfast, we never had that breakfast.""If I could go back in time, I want to experience that once. I missed that so much that when I finally ate your food, it just made me angry a

Everything would have gone according to Jaime's plan perfectly if he hadn't mentioned her mother. Vivian's blood boiled. She doesn't want to listen. She doesn't want to.Pulling the blanket over her head, she tried to fall asleep.The next morning, she woke up to the smell of delicious food. Jaime was cooking in the kitchen. "Come and eat quickly." He said as she walked in from the bathroom.They ate quietly like strangers. That's so sad. They had come so far, having been together for less than two years apart. Their relationship is so fragile that even the slightest touch will shatter it.Stealthily glancing at Jaime, Vivian found that she didn't know what to say. Is it her fault that they are like this? Because she was too stubborn, too stubborn because she had been in the dark for too long?Because she can't come to terms with her feelings for Jaime or admit them out loud?Is cowardice driving her life so she doesn't want to hear anything from him?That's right, it's her fault, she
Cinderella's love story Chapter 133 Continuing on the old path 5
Everything was hazy in memory, the argument two years ago had fatefully ended what they had. Remembering why Vivian left him is an even bigger task than plotting to get her back.Jaime leaned forward and ruffled his hair with both hands, frustration evident. Was it the heat of the moment that made Vivian pack her suitcase that night?He can't remember. What he remembered after watching Vivian leave was standing here in this room with anger welling up in a way he had never felt before.He doesn't care if she comes back or not. Jaime regrets that. He should care, because that's what means the most to him right now.That night if he had chased Vivian right after she left, maybe they wouldn't be here constantly arguing. Raising his head from his hands, he thought. Once she left, it seemed like she had no plans to return.He ate lunch and dinner in solitude hoping Vivian would return to eat with him, even if they ate in silence better than without her.If he hadn't rushed to talk to her th

When Vivian returned, she walked into the bathroom, Jaime knew that she would be stiff with anger despite the wonderful night they had had. It's better to give her some space to blow things up, like his mother suggested.Closing his eyes to return to dreamland, he prayed that Vivian would not leave him again.After cleaning up the messy clothes scattered on the floor, he took a shower and walked out. There were no plans for today, so he didn't know what Vivian would do. Mrs. Maggie and Juke have not returned from their trip yet, only the two of them are at home.Since meeting Vivian again after two years, he's begun to learn about her temperament, adapting to it, to a degree he never had when they first knew each other.When angry, she will bite and fight back easily, making him nervous or, most annoyingly, ignoring him. Today she will be angry because he won't let her continue last night's unfinished story.Jaime couldn't figure out how he was going to fight her. He just knew they ne

His excitement increased when he felt that Vivian temporarily stopped resisting. Quickly pulling down her shirt, he smelled her scent and kissed her shoulder. He had been waiting for this.The joy that Vivian kept for him for two years. She owes him. All he could think about was carrying her to bed and claiming her as his own.Retrieving her wet lips, he inserted his tongue into her mouth, groping until his fingers rested on her thighs. He caressed her white calves, pulling her forward to get even closer.Jaime desired her slowly. He wanted to taste every part of her to be reminded of her innocence. The girl's embarrassment about undressing in front of him swept across his mind. He'd be damned if he let her get away after tonight.Releasing her lips, Jaime breathed into her mouth, their lips barely brushing each other. His whole body was aroused, he was using all his energy to satisfy his desire. Turning off the light, he picked her up and walked towards the bed.Vivian's body is attr
