Julia Collins was looking at her friend and asked, "If your statement is true, who do you think will do that? Did she offend anybody? "
She thinks for a second before replying to her, while Ezekiel is confused and worried about her condition. "Have you seen the face of the driver?" he asked them.
They both tried to recognize the face, but no one saw the face. "How about the car’s plate number?" he added.
"The police already investigated that but they said that it was a fake," Julia sadly stated.
"I don’t think that someone was trying to harm her, maybe she was just mistaken by someone else," he commented.
Li Na was outraged by his comment, which made it appear as though he didn't care about his wife's life "She is your wife! You should have been concerned about her safety, " she shouted as she sat on a bench far away from him, waiting for the doctor's co
Her husband’s face appears on her face as she opens her eyes. She evades his looks and asks, "Aren’t you leaving for work today?""If I did that, who would take care of you?" his husky voice echoed in her ears."Do you mean you'll look after me?" she asks naively."Yes, I do," he said softly into her ears."What do you want to do now? I will be your feet while you are injured, "he sweetly informed her."Bring me to the bathroom, I want to wash my teeth," she said, smirking slightly. "Let's go, I'll brush mine too," he said, carrying her on his back till they arrived at the restroom.He applied toothpaste to the brush and handed it to her. They each cleaned their teeth and gargled thereafter. He washes his face with soap and warm water. She notices him washing a towel, scrubbing soap into it, and then rinsing it. "What are you going to do wit
Bella touches his chest to stop him from kissing her, and she succeeds. "Wash my hair immediately," he hears her say, smirking at her irritated expression.He cleaned and dried her hair using a towel "Could you lend me your blower? Mine was shattered "She stated."Sure," he said as he reached for the hair blower in the drawer on top of the mirror. He saw a red lipstick mark on his sleeve through the reflection on the mirror.When he looked at her while holding the blower, he noticed that her gaze was fixed on his sleeve. "It's a—a," he said as he presented it to her."You don’t need to explain it to me, I trust you," It’s against her feelings to say it, but she accepted it. She accepted that she’s not the owner of his heart.He plugged in the blower and he wanted to dry his hair, but she took it from him, "I can do it on my own," she says.&nb
"Ezekiel’s POV"I've been caring for my wife for a week, and her injuries are starting to heal, but she's been giving me the silent treatment since we last talked about Gillian.I casually help her with her daily routines and that’s all. I didn’t initiate talking to her either. I was perplexed and outraged. She didn't ask if I was okay with it; instead, she made the decision on her own.What was she thinking? Can’t she tell me that Gillian likes me? That’s why she’s trying to be part of my life again? What should I do with my wife? I couldn’t even tell if she had feelings for me or not.
Gillian restrains herself from retaliating at Rosie. Rosie pulls her fingers from her hair as soon as she hears Ezekiel's booming voice, but Gillian has lost her wits and falls to the floor."What have you done, Rosie?" Everyone noticed how worried he was upon seeing her in that kind of state. He dashed to her and carried her on his arm."Si—sir, let me call an ambulance," Angeline nervously suggested."No need, let’s talk later, Rosie," Everyone watched him bring her out of the building."What have you done, Rosie?" Angeline worriedly asked her."She hit me first," she said to herself."How many times have I told you to stop teasing her?" Clarisse reprimanded her."I didn’t push her," she started to cry."Your tears can’t solve anything. Prepare for the worse since you already saw his sympathy
"Bella’s POV"Why did he bring me here? Did he want to boast about his romantic life in front of me? I needed to relax and pretend I didn't care about him.I almost fall out of my chair when he yelled at… Gillian? she ran out anxiously when he yelled at her. He gave me a stern look."Why are yougazing at me for?" I asked."Where did you go yesterday?" he inquired gravely.I furrowed my brows and flipped my gaze to the other, "Why are you monitoring me?""I am asking you," his tone is strong."I’m not your employee anymore and you can't boss me around," I folded my arms irritably."But I'm concerned about your safety; so, tell me, who is the man you met yesterday?" I lifted my left brow and looked at him. "Are you following me?!?" I exclaimed."I'm not," he s
"Gillian’s POV"I can’t believe that he let me eat alone just because he was saving Bella! I will not let her take away the man I love. I will not let her be so close to him. I need to make a plan to make him stay with me and choose me.I came closer to the glass window and stared at my reflection. I shouldn’t be treated as a second option. I went out, bringing the tray into the pantry, washing it carefully. I glanced at my back when I saw a shadow coming in. There she went!It was Rosie. I smirk and continue washing the dishes. Try to mock me again and you’ll see.I observed she quietly made a cup of coffee and turned around as if she didn’t see me."Hey, what’s wrong with you?" I grabbed her arm to stop her. She looked at me and faced me."You’re here! I didn’t see you," she acted surprised.
"Bella’s POV"I got up early to avoid Ezekiel after last night. He forced me to tumble to the ground. I felt both ashamed and enraged at him. I gently placed my feet on the floor and turned around to see whether he was still sleeping peacefully, but he wasn't there. What happened to him?I searched the entire area, but he was nowhere to be seen. My gaze was drawn to the food on the table. Is he still preparing this for me? But where has the note gone? I looked underneath the plate and glassbut there was none.I am mad at him for not saving me yesterday, but I don’t know why I still expect him to be there for me whenever I need him.I ate the food he prepared because I was really hungry. I hadn’t eaten last night. I received a call from my mother-in-law."Hello, mom?""Bella, what did you prepare for Ezekiel today?" she asked.
"Bella’s POV"My heart is eaten by hatred, sorrow, and anger.It was already dark when the car broke down due to a long drive and too much heat. There are no signs of stars above and it is surrounded by total darkness. Leaning my body on my seat, watching the rainfall heavier as I let my tears continue to flow, I cried out loud and mourned till I released all the pain I felt, but it seems that the more I cry the more it hurts.It is a never-ending pain...My phone is ringing constantly. I'm out ofenergy to accept anyone's phone calls, and I don't like to talk to anyone. I just let it ring till they got tired of calling me, but they didn't want to stop, so I turned off my phone.I stayed in the car while it rained. Water from my soaked clothing was trickling on the floor. I was hugging my body to keep myself warm from the frost. After becoming tired of sobbing, my e

Everything feels like a dream… A roller coaster ride that is full of excitement. It is still vivid in my memories of how I struggle to fight for my dream, I am thinking every night about how I could end this misery, and I don’t know what to do after I finish my studies since business isn’t my passion. I realized that I wouldn’t get this far if I stay in my comfort zone and live my life following the rules. I am glad that I have the courage to take a small step. And I didn’t realize that the small step I took would finally change my entire life… and brought me to you. As I walk to it, I have decided to leave the shadow that’s obstructing me to aim for my biggest dream. I attempted to escape from the past but it keeps on haunting me and fate accompanies me to you. I have known a lot of people in a vast strange country to my eyes but you are one of t
“I think I found out why she’s being frustrated,” Julia stated. “What is it about?” Julia whispers to her what she’s thinking about their friend, Bella came back and is quietly seated. They stand beside her and curiously stared at her, “Bella. Would you mind telling us how long you are dating Ezekiel?” Li Na questioned her. She cocked her head to her friend as she stared at her furiously, “why do you want to know?” “We just want to know how long are you guys dating since you got back together,” Julia puts her hands on her waist while Bella is fanning herself with her hand. “Exactly! Also, we wanted to know when will you two getting married because you guys are getting older. You should hurry,” Li Na added. “Precisely! If I didn’t lie two years ago to him, I’m sure till now he’s still not making an action to chase you,” Julia stated.
"At first, I didn’t believe in love at first sight but when I met you, I believe in everything even the pigs don’t actually fly." He chuckled, his hands were shaking while he was reading the vow in front of everyone. "Also, I don’t plan on getting married, but the moment you stepped into my life, my world spin around and my plans had magically changed as if God had given me an angel to lighten my worthless existence. Now that I have you in my life, I promise to hold your hand tightly even if a disaster comes to break us apart; I will continue to stand by you and defend you. I love you now, tomorrow, and every day, Li Na."Bella can’t help herself from crying after hearing his pledge, as if she’s the one getting married at that moment. Her ex-spouse offers her a tissue. Her ex-husband hands her a tissue. She took it and turned around, brushing her tears away as the priest asked the pair to kiss.They gathered at
Julia joyfully rushed to the door to see Bella, but she was shocked and her grin vanished when she saw Amanda and Ezekiel being very sweet and laughing with each other. She shifted her gaze across the road and saw Bella Chen, who had just gotten out of her vehicle. Her grin returned as she saw her friend turning back and preparing to flee. "BELLA!!!" She shouted aloud her name, causing the two to turn around and gaze behind them.She is wearing a white shirt beneath her long-sleeved sky blue coat, which is paired with a sky blue mini-skirt, and flat shoes. Her foot is still bandaged, and her curly hair is disheveled as if she brushed it with her finger.
"Callista?!!" Felicity and the models called out her name, seeing her prostrated on the ground. Her barefoot were badly injured and bleeding. They rushed up to the distraught designer, who was sobbing uncontrollably. Ezekiel's staff and brother saw how he abandoned her on the side of the road. Matthew saw how hurt she was just like his brother years ago when he was forced to sign the divorce papers. He witnessed how Ezekiel was wasted, intoxicated, and tormented. It was the most heartbreaking incident that her colleagues witnessed. She was always happy, reserved, and mysterious when they were in France, but when she stepped off the plane in New York, she became unstable and emotional. "What happened to you? How did you get the wound on your left foot?" Felicity worriedly asked. "And where are your shoes?" Zoe wondered. Her tears streamed down her cheeks in torrents. Her body shook unsteadily
The Paris Fashion models, together with their most prestigious designer, have arrived at the venue and are preparing all the things they need for the fashion show. While Felicity is talking with the system and lighting technician, Ezekiel and his team have also arrived. They are invited to watch the fashion show."Mr. Wright, we’ve met again," When Felicity greets him, he nods at her. He had no idea why she greeted him till he remembered that they had already met before at the hotel.Some of the visitors invited to the event are the reporters. They are sitting in the front row while the audience is sitting at the bottom, and others are standing, like Ezekiel, who was observing from the corner. "I can’t wait to see Miss Callista," he heard the teenager say as they wen
Felicity seemed to notice Callista being silent the whole journey all the way to the hotel. "How are you feeling, Callista?" She inquires."I'm... alright," she simply replied.Felicity gave the medicine to her when they reached their room. "You have to take it wherever you go.""Thank you," she accepted the medicine. She laid down her body on the bed, trying to go back to sleep, but her mind was in trouble. Her thoughts keep on thinking about him and keep on asking herself how he is doing now, turning her body back and forth, but her eyes are wide awake while everybody is already asleep. She turns on the music playlist on her phone as she plugs an earphone into her ears. She listened to the songs till her eyes got tired and closed on their own."Ezekiel! I’m sorry for leaving you before. I realized that I love you after a long time of being separated from you. Can you give me a chance to b
The W Design Studio has received a new project from an international client, which will be hosted in New York City. Their client requested a fashion stage four feet wide and two-thirds the length of the space. They also went through the specifics with them. Ezekiel intended to delegate the project to his employees, but when he heard that Callista would be the one to utilize the venue, he took on the task himself. They have given months to finish the project and the customer will notify them when they arrive in NYC and use it. He also offered a sound and light system to their package even though it is not included. The studio had been very busy doing the project. Ezekiel wanted it to be perfect to impress their customer and make it more suitable for the designer’s idea because he is also a fan of Callista and wanted to have a short conversation with the designer.
