*CORA*

"I'm Zoe.I'm Cora's good friend.You don't need to introduce yourself to me.I already know that you're the great Alvin Powell.I've seen you a lot on TV but I must admit that you're more handsome in real life."

I stared at Zoe in disbelief as she rattled on and on.

I felt embarrassed for her sake.

Alvin stared at me and smiled."Your friend is quite interesting."

Not knowing what he meant,I smiled back,awkwardly.

"Now that you've called your friend here.I have also called my friend,you won't mind,will you?"Alvin suddenly let out.

There was a flash of malice in his eyes.

Hearing that,I was stunned.

What friend did he call?

But seeing that Zoe was indeed here,I had no right to stop him from calling his friend as well.

"Of course.I don't mind."

He smiled at me again."I'm just kidding.I called no one.Let's have some drinks.I'm very happy to spend time with you beautiful ladies,it's an honor."He said slowly and drank up his wine,gracefully.

I saw Zoe also gulping down her wine while st

    *CORA*Seeing that Phoebe was about to cry,Tristan didn't say anything to Alvin or Zoe,instead,he shot at me."It seems you're recruiting people to hate Phoebe.You should come at me since I was the one involved with you.Stop attacking her."I tightened my grip on the glass,my fingertips turned white and the corners of my mouth wrinkled slightly.I snorted at him."You are the one who should stop attacking me."*********************Zoe felt speechless by the exchange.She instantly hated Phoebe.One could easily see that Phoebe was a bad person.Tristan on the other hand wasn't annoyed by how eloquent Cora had become.One could say that he was still finding it hard to adjust to this side of her.Afterall,for the three years that they were married, she had acted like a calm and submissive wife.The atmosphere was tensed,like a prelude to a storm.Phoebe tugged at Tristan's sleeve.She could see that Alvin had Cora's back and if this got more heated,she didn't want the two men to fight.Moreo

    *CORA*I do not know what Alvin was saying to him but he sure looked pissed.He was staring at me as if I had an affair with Alvin.Tristan was really a confused man and I was trying not to let his confusion drown me.Because why the heck was he acting as if he was jealous?!"Fuck you,Alvin."After hanging up the phone,his gaze fell on me."We should both calm down.We can live our own lives but we can't live separately for now.This divorce will have a great impact on my company and my position as president."He was so selfish!What I felt and what I wanted clearly wasn't important to him.Without saying a word,I was literally out of words to say to him.I was only filled with wonders as to why I ever fell for someone like him.I headed upstairs,wanting to be out of his presence.As I walked into my room,a room I thought I'd never come back to,I sighed,heavily and collapsed on the bed.I thought I would have nightmares but I didn't expect that I would have no dreams all night.I had qui

    *TRISTAN*Since she still wasn't waking up,I had no choice but to vent my anger on the doctor.I felt he wasn't doing his best!"You fucking quack!You said she's stressed but she should wake up by now.You said her condition isn't enough to leave her comatose so why hasn't she woken up yet?!I give you one more day,if she still doesn't wake up,then you can forget about being my doctor!"I was so at myself.At how angryI was.I didn't love Cora.So why was I so infuriated?Was it sympathy perhaps?It must be sympathy!Yeah, it was sympathy.I was still human afterall.I tried to comfort myself with these thoughts.Two days passed,but Cora still didn't wake up.I started contemplating on bringing doctors abroad to come examine her.I stood in front of the bed that she was lying in.I stared at her face.There was a deep frown on it like she was having a bad dream.Sometimes she looks calm and other times,troubled.Was she having a nightmare about me perhaps?Her long eyelashes covered her ey

    *CORA*In my swimsuit and with my hair tied casually behind my ears,I got off the boat gently and reached out my hand to hold Zoe.We had caught four fishes in total,half a pot of crayfish and 5 big crabs.Dylan smiled and said."This should be enough for the barbecue tonight."I nodded,trying my best to be excited about it.I used to love seafood very much,but recently,I felt pungent when smelling the taste of seafood.Besides, my menstrual period was abnormal.Maybe it was because I was too depressed that I have entered menopause ahead of time.I wanted to laughed at that though.I was only in my twenties.Oh God.My thoughts were all over the place.But still,my period was late by two weeks.I shouldn't be worried, right?It wasn't like…No.I didn't want to think about*************Nightfell and we were at the side of the resort.Alvin was in charge of the barbecue and he told us stories about how he was always in charge of barbecues each time his family had a party.He boasted about

    As soon as Tristan saw Alvin and Cora conversing in the hall,he frowned deeply and walked up to her,grabbing her by the arm.He gave Alvin a warning look and then tugged Cora away."How many times will I tell you to stop fooling around with other men?"Cora glared at him."You came here with Phoebe but I'm the one fooling around?"Tristan looked embarrassed. This was not the Cora he knew."Cora." It had been a long time since Tristan called her that calmly.Cora's heart was throbbing. This dangerous man was so terrible that she could be moved by his one word.Raising her head,she had a charming face. She wasn't expecting what Tristan would say next."As long as you behave well and don't cause me any trouble, I will give you a large sum of compensation after our divorce is announced." He looked gentle, but his words were chilling.Compensation! It turned out that no matter what, their relation was a deal. There was no need to pretend."Okay, I understand."

    *CORA*When I opened the door, I looked up at the living room and saw that Phoebe was sitting on the leather sofa as if she was waiting for me.There was no sign of Winnie.Maybe she had gone to bed.Afterall,it was so late.Raising my eyebrows, I thought something bad was going to happen.I didn't want to talk to Phoebe so I went straight to the second floor.As soon as I was about to take the first step upstairs.I heard Phoebe's voice."Cora,thank you so much for your understanding,today.You didn't say anything to hurt Tristan and I."I rolled my eyes and turned around."Even if I'm in dire straits.I won't do anything unscrupulous like you."Phoebe frowned and let out in an angry voice."Stop pretending.You're so downcast yet you're acting so proud.Do you even know what's going on with you?Don't you understand ‘find shelter under other's roof'?"Hearing that,I was stunned.There was an indescribable indifference in my eyes."Well, we're the same.Don't you live under other people's roof

    Without saying anything,Cora started the engine. The restaurant was not far away from his supermarket, so they arrive there soon.Dylan got off the car and stood at the roadside. "Drive slowly when you go back, Sara."Cora nodded.She had always knew that Dylan was so considerate.He watched Cora drive away until she was out of sight. Then he went to the supermarket which was being decorated.Dylan took the packaged food to the construction workers hadn't eaten yet, so after handing it to them,He left. Several workers exclaimed that the food was delicious.He was in a good mood today. Unexpectedly, when he came to the supermarket, he met Cora. The two had stayed together for a long time. Dylan could not help recalling the blush on Cora's face. Her side face, Her beautiful curve., She was so beautiful.Cora had to go to the company. She hadn't been there the whole morning, and there were a lot of documents waiting for her to review.As soon as she arrived at the company, her assistant t

    *TRISTAN*"She did that purposely."Phoebe let out."Did what?""Pretended as if she was about to vomit.She definitely implied that you and I are disgusting."I sighed."Let's just eat and go to work."I didn't want to deal with Cora right now.Even if I felt her behavior was very exaggerated,I didn't find it enough to argue with him.Part of the reason why Phoebe was in this house was because I wanted to get a reaction from Cora.I wanted to see if she never ever considered me as her husband and so far,it seemed she didn't.She was okay with Phoebe's presence in this house.When Cora walked into the dining room,I noticed how pale she was.She might not be pretending afterall."Are you okay?"Yeah.I didn't mean to interrupt you two's breakfast.You can go on without me."With that,she walked off.Was she sick?**************CORA*The more I smelled oil,the worse I felt.I didn't want to have greasy food.I came to a conclusion to go to the hospital to get checked up once I was chanced.Befor
