Clingy Love Chapter 59
If Mona remembered correctly, the newly appointed young boss was Raymond, the youngest son of the Rockwells— the retailer giant of general merchandise in Worchester City. He was also the most likely successor of the Rockwell family business. Mona had a good understanding of Raymond because the guy was close to Thaddeus. She would keep an eye out on reports of this young and charming heir whenever she read the finance page. Of course, Raymond must not know her since Thaddeus would never tell his friends about his less-than-desirable wife of a secret marriage. “I would like to introduce you to Starbright’s new boss – Raymond Rockwell. Please, everybody. A round of applause.” Amid the thundering reception around the office, some female colleagues eyeballed Raymon and clapped like a dolphin. The clapping gradually subsided when Ramond led his management team to a meeting room. “I can’t believe how young the new boss is.” “Not only is he young, he’s quite the looker too. I bet

Furious, Sasha bit her lower lip and glanced fleetingly at Raymond. Seeing that he showed no reaction, Sasha had no idea whether or not Raymond had read between the lines of her words. She embarrassedly lowered her head and fiddled with her freshly manicured crystal fingernails. Raymond narrowed his eyes at Mona. Although Mona had lost her memory and was sheltered all those years by Thaddeus, she had not lost her backbone. She was indeed her father’s daughter. “Come to my office. We have much to discuss.” Turning his head away, Raymond made his way toward the CEO’s office. Under everybody’s instructive eyes, Mona followed her new boss into the office. The crowd craned their necks and watched them leave before gathering around Sasha. “That was a bold move, Sasha. Why did you stand up and say that out of the blue?” Sasha saw herself as better than everyone else. “You won’t get it. I’ve always been vocal, and the good thing about being loud is that people will remember y

Raymond helplessly smiled and asked Mona, “Why can’t you work here because I know about you and Thaddeus?” “I will find it awkward.” Mona was truthful with her answer. Raymond gave a nod, showing understanding. “You can see it from a different perspective. Your relationship with Thaddeus can offer you a lot of conveniences. Personal feelings aside, I made a business decision to buy the company because of you.” “Me?” Mona was baffled. “Why?” “I see the business value in what you can do. I believe you will take Starbright to new heights.” Mona was taken aback for a moment before covering her laughter with a hand over her mouth. Oh, Raymond could stop with the jokes. She knew what she was made of more than anyone else. “That’s a good one, Mr. Rockwell. I appreciate it, but I doubt I’m up for the task.” With a smile, Mona got up to leave. “Don’t you want to prove them wrong?” Raymond said with a firm and solemn expression. “Thaddeus had you tamed and locked away from th

“No, Thad. Aren’t you divorced? Don’t tell me you have fallen for Mona.” “Absurd.” Before Raymond could say anything, Thaddeus hung up on the call. A disconnection dial tone ensued. “What the hell? He doesn’t want the girl anymore, and yet he forbids anyone to go after her.” It somewhat dreaded Raymond to feel Thaddeus’ wrath. As the witness to Thaddeus’ secret relationship with Mona, Raymond had always believed the marriage was with an ulterior intent. Besides, Thaddeus never forgot about the one that got away. The divorce only proved that he had no feelings for Mona. Raymond was not violating the bro code with what he was doing now. With that in mind, he put the phone down and dove into work. …“Thaddeus, who were you on the phone with? Did something bad happen?” Back in the hospital, Samantha looked at the absent-minded man with worry. It had been half an hour since Thaddeus returned from making a call, and he had been spacing out ever since. He did not listen t

Samantha’s call came as a surprise to Mona. Where did Samantha get her number from? “Ms. Mayers, to what do I owe this pleasure?” Samantha’s voice was soft and raspy. “Excuse me, Ms. Ortega, but can I ask something of you?” Mona was dumbstruck. Ask? It was unlike Samantha to be so humbled. Finding it strange, Mona grew wary. “Just get straight to the point, Ms. Mayers, and I’ll see whether I can be of any assistance.” “It’s simple, really. I’m sure you can do it, Ms. Ortega.” Samantha cut to the chase and quit beating around the bush. “I’ve been in the hospital lately, and Thaddeus has been there for me. Unfortunately, he has to travel back and forth because of you. He seems rather weary every time he comes back from yours. It breaks my heart.“Ms. Ortega, I know the divorce is only recent, and you are having a hard time, but can you stop putting him through that? I can’t bear to watch him care for you. My heart feels for him when we hold each other every night.” M

“What do you expect? I’ve packed my things. Did you think I was putting up an act?” The others exchanged looks, unable to hide the joy across their faces. Mona swept her gaze around the room and sighed. She was not Ms. Popular for sure. Apart from Luke, these people would be beating on drums and celebrating if she were to quit her job. All the more she should not leave. She needed to prove these people otherwise. Mona walked out the door as if she had a tail between her legs under the crowd’s gloating eyes. She had not gotten far when Raymond, in the back, called her name. “Mona, I’ll drive you since I’m heading out anyway.” Everybody turned their attention to Raymond. Mr. Rockwell sure was a friendly boss, looking out for his fired employees.Mona asked, “Where are you going?” “The convention center.” “It’s okay. We’re not going the same way. I’m heading in the opposite direction.” “It’s okay. It’s just a detour.” Raymond turned around and instructed his assi

Thaddeus’ apathetic face with eerie vibes gave Raymond the creeps. Was Thaddeus… jealous?! Raymond was surprised by the possibility. There was no way of drawing jealousy out of a stoic man like Thaddeus. Besides, did he and Mona not split up? Unable to read his friend, Raymond got into Thaddeus’ Bentley with him. Thaddeus put on a pair of sunshades that covered most of his face. The sunglasses only added tension along his facial lines. Before stepping on the accelerator, Thaddeus curtly told Raymond, “Buckle up.”With Thaddeus flooring the throttle, Raymond jerked forward toward the front seats and rammed into Thaddeus’ arm. “Thad, are you trying to kill me? Slow down, will you?” Thaddeus took a sidelong glance at Raymond, who was holding onto Thaddeus’ arm for his dear life, and hissed through clenched teeth, “Get away from me.” “Ah, sorry about that.” Raymond moved his butt back on his seat and fastened his seat belt. Raymond took a gulp and heaved relief when Th

It would be a marvel if Mr. Dreamboat, popular among the socialites and ladies of Worchester City, was dumped by a woman in the end. Thaddeus pulled a grim look. He had never been the butt of a joke. Since this concerned the pride of a man, Thaddeus was quick to deny it. “No way. I asked for the divorce.” Raymond waved his arm. “I knew it. You only married Mona out of revenge. You gave your heart to the one that got away, didn’t you? The way I see it, you and Mona are a ruthless bunch. Mona, especially, is unattached and carefree.” Thaddeus turned his head and fixated on Raymond who just shrugged and smiled. “You don’t love her, and yet you were with her for years. She harbored many secrets while playing her role with you. She doesn’t seem in distress after your divorce. It’s like she’s unaffected. She’s still shooting commercials and raising her children like nothing ever happened. Any other women would be bawling their eyes out and threatening suicide.” Clutching onto th

Clingy Love Chapter 999
The couple was tired after a time of bonding, and they lay on the wicker chair, closing their eyes before slipping into dreamland. Sometime later, Thaddeus felt a chill and opened his eyes. His T-shirt was wet, and Bobby and Millie were spraying water at him with water guns. The youngest child was nearby too in her stroller. She suckled on a pacifier and watched the bustle. “Where’s your mommy?” Thaddeus shuffled his hair and looked around, searching for Mona. “Freeze, Daddy. We have held Mommy captive. Surrender yourself to us.” Acting like the boss, Millie pointed her massive water gun at her daddy. Thaddeus had indulged his eldest daughter so much that the girl would only have things her way. Nevertheless, Thaddeus played along since it was only a game. He knew his children well. Millie took after Mona and was shrewd. Still, Millie would be on her best behavior when in public. “Hurry up and surrender, Daddy. Put your hands up, and we will release Mommy.” Millie poked

It was a cooling breeze for the Summer as flowers bloomed in the garden of Fontaine Residence. Mona rested on a wicker chair under the wine arbor, holding in hand the latest issue of the weekly design magazine, with her face on the cover. In the photo, she held a trophy up on the stage of a design competition, standing out amidst the radiant background. Since the birth of her youngest, Mona took a month off for rest before picking up her passion again and returning to the world of design. Recently, she won first place in an international design competition and found fame. Mona was happy with her life and enjoyed the rich and peaceful state of things. She had time to herself for once during the weekend, so she found a quiet spot to enjoy time alone while the kids had a nap. The sunlight shone over Mona through the leaves, basking her in warmth. She let out a yawn and closed her eyes for a nap. Thaddeus walked out of the house and saw the woman enjoying the moment of bliss. The t

“Mommy, did the baby kick you today?” Millie wobbled her way over and placed her hand on Mona’s belly. She could feel the baby stirring inside her mommy’s stomach. Millie was pleasantly surprised. “The baby kicked me! Mommy, is the baby swimming inside your belly?” “Yeah. The baby is kicking.” Mona affectionately caressed her belly. The fetus had been kicking and rolling a lot more lately, so she could not get much sleep. The tall and strong man drew near and looked tenderly at Mona. His husky voice lingered in Mona’s ear. “Weren’t you craving strawberries? I placed an order, and the fruit is being airlifted here as we speak. It’ll arrive tonight.” “Yay.” Mona was gleeful. Since the beginning of her pregnancy, she had become quite fussy and craved the strangest food. She wanted caviar from Japan, cookies from France, and strawberries from the highlands. Anything she asked for would be transported fresh to the house the next day.The man had taken good care of her during her en

“No. I won’t let myself go.” The man huffed heavily after finishing his sit-ups. Then, he rolled out of bed and got changed in the walk-in closet. Mona stared at the man’s well-toned back, gasping at his body upkeep. People would probably have a hard time believing he was a father of three. With that in mind, Mona became aware of a potential threat. She got up and drew close to the man. “You’re responsible for taking care of the baby once the child is born.” Thaddeus straightened his tie. “Alright. I can do that. I want to be present in the baby’s life and your pregnancy. You should rest at home once your belly gets bigger. I’ll handle Bobby and Millie’s school run, okay?” The man pinched Mona’s face dotingly. “Now you’re talking. Are you heading out?” Mona got up on her tiptoes to brush off the dust from his shoulders. “Yeah. I need to sort out a lot of paperwork.” “I wrote down notes of the meeting I attended on your behalf a few days ago.” Mona walked out to retrieve a

Thaddeus was in the hospital for a week before he was discharged. The election day for the successor of the Fontaine Group was two weeks later, but Thaddeus had not made a full recovery in his legs. He remained in a wheelchair and persisted in his daily physiotherapy. Mona had a room freed up in Fontaine Residence for Thaddeus’ rehabilitation. A specialized doctor would come around the house every day to help Thaddeus with his recovery. Thaddeus was a strong man to fight through the pain in his physiotherapy sessions. That day, Mona watched as the workers hung a decorative painting on the wall in the hallway. She ordered paintings of her preference and had them shipped from abroad. Mona instructed the workers to put it up, not paying attention to the wobbly painting that had been hung behind her. The painting was about to hit her from the back. Thaddeus was exiting the rehabilitation room when he caught sight of the danger. Getting up from his wheelchair, Thaddeus took large stri

The few pictures of Mona and Victor at the height of a tussle gave the impression that they were having an intimate moment. Thaddeus went through the photos with a look of disdain. “So you stood there and pretended to take pictures of me to show me these? You set my wife up with another man to tell me she was cheating on me?” It was not hard to guess the game the paparazzi were playing, but who was he trying to fool? The man was dumbstruck, as it never occurred to him that Thaddeus could see through him. It had taken the three of them to come up with the idea. However, it had not taken much for Thaddeus to foil their plan. Mona let out a relieved smile. She thought that Thaddeus would be furious at the look of the pictures and had prepared herself to give a long explanation. She was surprised that Thaddeus quickly saw through the attempt to drive them apart. Their relationship was solid, and no one could come between them. Mona thought to herself with glee when she took

Mona stood in front of Thaddeus, blocking his face as she confronted the paparazzi who took their picture. “Hand over the camera!” “There’s nothing in the camera. Besides, it’s my personal property. Why should I give it to you?” “You clearly took a picture of my husband. You have some nerve to say there’s nothing.” Mona grabbed the man by the wrist and lifted her foot to kick. Thaddeus grabbed her wrist to stop her. “You’re pregnant. Think about the child.” Thaddeus pulled Mona back, leaving himself exposed to the paparazzi. “Why do you want to photograph me? Do you want to see me in a wheelchair? Take a picture then.” Thaddeus pulled a straight face. His nonchalant gaze spoke of intimidation. Dumbstruck, the paparazzi looked at Thaddeus’ legs and smiled dryly. “What happened to your legs, Mr. Fontaine?” Thaddeus did not answer. However, his dark eyes flicked chillingly as he looked murderously at the paparazzi. Even in a wheelchair, Thaddeus did not have to say anythi
Clingy Love Chapter 992
With the help of the two caretakers, Thaddeus sat in the wheelchair. He had overcome his emotions and pulled himself together. His mind was clear as he sorted out what he should do next. Thaddeus called the assistant into the room and laid out the following plan. “I won’t attend any media interviews before the election, but I won’t disappear from the public eye either. I don’t want to give the press something to talk about. My wife will represent me. Going forward, whatever she says or does will be considered my own. She has the authority to attend all corporate conferences, big or small.” Mona dropped her jaw in shock. She was to attend company meetings and speak on his behalf. It was trying to make the impossible happen. On second thought, Thaddeus must have his reasons to do so. She had the confidence to do a good job anyway. The assistant took note of everything Thaddeus said. The Fontaine Group was about to choose its next leader, and with Thaddeus still in recovery, the

“It’s okay. That’s normal after surgery. The doctor gave me a heads-up. Since it’s a brain operation, you might have damage to the motor nerve. With the help of physiotherapy, you’ll be back to running in no time.” Mona consoled Thaddeus. Thaddeus lifted his hands and gave Mona a gentle push. “Leave.” Mona froze. She looked at the man who was fine a second ago, not knowing what to do. “Can you leave? I need some time alone,” Fixing his gaze on Mona, Thaddeus spoke callously. “Okay. I’ll be right outside if you need me.” It dawned on Mona why the man was persistent in driving her away. He did not want her to see him at his worst. In a way, he was trying to protect his pride and dignity as a man. However, they were a married couple. Mona would never turn her back on him. Mona could understand the man’s vulnerability and his feelings at the moment. Hence, she said nothing and quietly left the ward to give Thaddeus the time and space to sort his emotions. Instead of doing n
