Sherly slept deeply after George tucked her to sleep. George saw how tired she was staying by his side, and even though he is happy for it, he still has no heart to let her suffer like that. Not only that, that woman even tried to ruin their day. He took his phone and dialed Sherly's father's number. He didn't want Sherly to stay in that mood, so it was better for her father to deal with it sooner. In the middle of the night, someone posted a video. It has only been an hour, but it has gone viral in no time. The video of Sherly and her surrogate, Marie, arguing in the hospital quickly went viral, garnering overwhelming support for Sherly. Who wouldn't? When they saw the caption, they thought it was Sherly, who is shamless, but who would have thought that it would be completely different? The ones who are shameless aren't the young ones, but the older ones! Viewers empathized with Sherly's plight and condemned Marie's behavior. Sherly's courage and dignity in the face of adversity
The man sighed as he received the call from Lilia. How long has it been since he has been working for her? It's been so long. Now, the contract is finally done. This is her last work for him. However, this is kind of too much for him. Killing a woman who posts no threats to her is too much. As the hired man approached Marie Arnold, his footsteps echoing softly in the dimly lit alleyway, he felt a familiar surge of adrenaline coursing through his veins. He had always been killing, and this is the same feeling he always feels whenever he is about to kill someone. He knew what he had been tasked to do, but as he drew closer to his target, he couldn't shake the nagging feeling of doubt that gnawed at the edges of his conscience.Marie Arnold stood before him, her eyes wide with fear, her trembling form illuminated by the faint glow of the streetlights above. Sensing his hesitation, she spoke, her voice barely above a whisper. "Please," she pleaded, her words trembling with desperation. "
Mr. Park's face sent a shiver down the spines of the other secretaries in the secretarial department. They have not yet seen Mr. Park in that dark face, and they know that something might have happened, and this is most likely related to the Montenegro family. That's right, whenever Mr. Park deals with other business, no matter how bad it is, he still has this calm and warm face. However, right now, he has a scary face that makes them shiver. "I'll get going," Mr. Park said to the other secretary in charge and left without waiting for their reply.Everyone inside the secretary department exchanged glances, and they could only sigh and wish that they wouldn't be implicated in it.As Mr. Park entered Hideous's office with a sense of urgency, his expression was grave as he approached his boss's desk. He wanted to confirm it first, but of course, he still has to tell his boss. "Sir, there's been a development," he began, his voice low and serious.Hearing those words, Hideous glanced up
As Hideous struggled to contain the storm of emotions raging within him, his mind raced with the weight of Marie's revelations. He and his whole family had always been waiting to have a girl in their family. When his surrogacy managed to make a girl, he was so happy. Now, this woman, who was the surrogate mother of his daughter, is telling him that all of the suffering that his daughter has been through is all because of his wife? All because of that woman? The thought of Lilia's callous betrayal filled him with a seething rage that threatened to consume him whole.This won't do. He won't let this happen and won't let her get away from it. Now that he has a very strong reason to divorce her, it won't be that hard. Even if it becomes public, he won't get hurt since everything he did was for his own daughter's sake."Make sure she's kept safe," Hideous growled, his voice low and dangerous as he addressed the police officers gathered around him. There is no room for mistakes. He won't le
After indicating everything that she needed to send to her father, she smiled, and she did not hesitate to send it to her father's email. Of course, she used her own underworld email. After all, it was more secure, and besides, she doesn't want to pose any danger to her father.Sherly's phone rang, and she saw her father's name on the caller's ID. Answering with a smile, she listened as he questioned how she obtained the information. Wow, how fast was her father contacting her? Maybe her father is waiting for her email. With a playful tone, Sherly replied, "Dad, a magician never reveals her secrets."Her teasing is different, so all that her father could do was chuckle, but his curiosity lingered. Sherly relented, explaining that it was a trade secret and leaving it at that. However, she quickly shifted the conversation to her strategy. Excitedly, she outlined her plan to set a trap for Joseph Santos.She explained everything to her father after she read that information. "All those
As Sherly scanned through the article on her phone, her classmates crowded around, their voices a cacophony of curiosity. She really had no idea about this. Maybe because it was just posted and she has no idea about it. It was because she hadn't been opening her phone. "Is it true, Sherly? Your parents are really getting divorced?" one of them asked, eyes wide with disbelief.Though she doesn't know about it happening right now, that does not mean that she wasn't aware of it. Sherly nodded, her throat tight. "Yeah, it's happening.""Wow, that's intense," another chimed in. "What caused it?" he asked again.Sherly hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal. She doesn't want them to know because her father hasn't given a statement about the reason yet. "Um, just... differences, I guess. They've been drifting apart for a while. I don't really know about that. Besides, I don't interfere with the adult's decision," she explains.The questions kept coming, each one digging deeper into Sherly
"Do you know this woman?" Hideous asked as he placed a picture flat in front of her.As Sherly confirmed her recognition of the woman, a tense silence enveloped the room. Hideous's brows furrowed deeply, his gaze piercing as he absorbed the implications of Elisia's involvement. Kyle's expression mirrored his father's, a mixture of concern and growing anger evident in his features. Keisley's jaw clenched, his fists tightening at his sides as a surge of frustration coursed through him."It's her," Sherly affirmed, nodding her head, her voice steady but tinged with frustration. "The same woman who tried to force me out of the university."Hideous's jaw tightened at the revelation, his mind swiftly connecting the dots between Elisia's vendetta against Sherly and the allegations now leveled against Keisley. At first, that woman only wanted to get close to Sherly so that she could get an advantage, but Sherly did not let her be close to her. Now, she saw Keisley and took a fancy on him, and
"No! Please, no!"One after another, I screamed and begged, but no one wanted to listen to me. The man on top of me just kept touching my body. Next, my tears started to fall, and I couldn't stand to scream because my throat was hurting.My eyes widened as I remembered one of the things in the past that I didn't want to remember the most. I took a deep breath and looked around.Right, I'm at the hotel. I had a night full of vigor last night. I looked around; the toys and condoms were scattered. I held my head and looked at the man beside me.I winced. I haven't slept after sex, I never let myself sleep with someone. Usually I leave after sex but now... and I didn't know how much I begged last night just so we would both stop. Sure, I love to play during sex, but last night, it was intense. I love it, though.I grabbed my throat, and I could feel the soreness of my voice. For sure, my voice was hoarse.My legs were still shaking, but I dragged myself out of bed and went to the bathroo
