*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*He appeared to be taken aback by my words and then he ran a hand through his hair.Not wanting to put up with him right now,I walked passed him and headed into the villa."I was waiting for you because I got you something."His voice came from behind me.Frowning,I turned out to face him and watched him bring out a small box.All of a sudden,a sense of nervousness washed over me.I couldn't help but swallow.I took a step back,instinctively,keeping a relatively safe distance between us."What…what is that?"Why would he get me something that kinda looked like a ring?I mean,that was a ring box,right?"I got you a diamond ring."He seemed a little impatient.My heart beat accelerated and I had no idea why I was so affected by him.I bit my lower lip,trying to remain calm."A ring?Why?""I wanted to give you a gift,you know,a quick recovery present.""I don't need it."I replied."Just take it.It's no big deal.""But I don't want it.""Why?""Because we're divorced and you have no re
*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
*CORA*I headed to my room after saying that to him.I knew of the consequences of not leaving.Alvin has been acting weird towards me and I didn't know how to feel about it.If I ever were to fall in love again,I felt it really shouldn't be him.He had a close relationship with Tristan.Not that I cared about Tristan's feelings but I felt it would be generally awkward for everyone.***************Watching Cora's receding figure,Alvin smirked and let out."You will be mine,Cora.Sooner or later."Then he brought out his cellphone and stared at the picture he had secretly took of her at the pavilion.In the picture,she was all smiles as she chatted with everyone.He sent the picture to Tristan and added a text.Alvin:See how beautiful Cora is when you're not around her.Alvin strongly felt that Tristan makes Cora unhappy.Afterall, which woman would be happy with her husband flaunting his lover everywhere.Alvin would never do that to Cora.He wished she could see how much he adores her.**
*TRISTAN*When I went to the company and saw Phoebe,I felt in a more sour mood."You look tired,are you okay?"She asked me."Why did you come here today?"I asked.She blinked."I…I…I'm learning from you,remember and we get to spend time toge…""You should go home.""Please,Tristan,my dad is really happy about me learning how to run a company.You know how much I've always wanted him to be proud of me."Sighing,I walked passed her and headed for my office.She knew better than to ask me any questions about my mood.If she did,I would've lashed out on her.But thankfully,she was a calm,reasonable and considerate woman.No wonder my mother likes her a lot.She was someone I could always control and I loved to always be in control of everyone and everything!Including myself and I hated to admit that I was losing control of myself right now.I couldn't stop thinking about Cora.How could she get together with Alvin?!Alvin of all people?!Even if I knew that he was a good person but he was my
I stared at the call wondering whether to pick or not.But then again,we were living under the same roof,I couldn't ignore him forever.I cleared my throat and picked up."What is it?"Without greeting or saying anything else,I went straight to the point."Cora,Cora,you really are something.I don't even know the right name to describe you."He sounded exasperated.I frowned."What is it this time?"He snorted."Now you're pretending.Well, continue pretending when I sue your friend for assault."That got me completely confused."Assault?My friend?""Stop fucking pretending!Didn't you send Dylan to hurt Phoebe?"My heart sank."What?!What happened?Is he alright?I hope you didn't hurt him?"Dylan might be a quite masculine man but I've never seen him throw hands,he might not know how to fight."Did I hurt him?"Tristan asked in a mocking tone."You sent your friend to hurt Phoebe so much that she's hospitalized but what you're worried about is if I hurt him?!""Hospitalized?"Dylan wouldn't do
*CORA*I turned to face Phoebe."Can't you just leave me alone for one sec?"I asked her."Stay away from Tristan.I want you out of his life or else,I'll continue making things hard for you and your friend."I smirked."I really have no business with Tristan anymore.He's the one who's still keeping me in his house.I really planned to stay away from him but you really crossed the line for messing with my friend today so because of that,I'm going to take Tristan back!"I decided to purposely hit her soft spot.Phoebe lashed out."You won't dare!You can't love him as much as I do.I love him and I will do anything to remain in his life.You're just an ant to me,Cora and if you test me,I'm going to crush you."Annoyed by her attitude,I sneered."You're smaller than an ant to me because you just keep acting so small and worthless.Why are you always worried that Tristan will leave you?If you continue making trouble for me,then I'll give you exactly what you deserve."With that,I walked out of the
The look of ecstasy on his face was almost enough to cause her another explosive orgasm.She let her hands slide around and cup the hard,tight cheeks of his ass and she squeezed and kneaded as she licked and sucked.He was moaning now, running his hands through her hair.She loved it.She kept it up until she felt his cock pulse in her mouth, growing and hardening even more before he groaned."Cora…wait…I..I wanna come inside of you."He breathed and she slowly took her mouth away from him.He reached down and lifted her up with seemingly little effort and he positioned her properly on the bed.He leaned above her,supporting his weight with his forearms.He brought her legs up and wrapped them around his waist while her hands got busy again exploring his body and clutching onto his big shoulders.She arched her hips up further in a silent plea,desperately wanting to be filled by him.She felt him slid his cock slid into her,just few inches.As he penetrated her slowly, his eyes were ho
Noah called to sincerely let Cora know of how badly Tristan had missed her and how remorseful he was about everything.Cora was filled with mixed feelings.Had he truly given up on her?She didn't want him to.There had been many times in the past two months when they had been sitting or standing so close to each other.She was missing him today,more than usual.Should she go see him?But going to see him technically means she was accepting him.Was she ready to?She loved Tristan.Her feelings for him had never changed and she really wanted to start all over again with him.By evening,she made up her mind to take a chance on him.Getting to his knock,she knocked on the door.It opened up to reveal Tristan's tall figure."Cora,what are you…?"Before he could complete that,she stood on her toes and pressed her lips against his.She felt his whole body stilled and he didn't move a muscle as she kissed him.Why wasn't he kissing her back.She moved back a bit to see a shocked look on her
Zoe and Noah invited their two best friends,Cora and Tristan who also happened to be ex-couple.They needed the two of them to discuss their wedding plans as they were the chief bridesmaid and best man,respectively.Tristan and Cora were civil at the meeting.They didn't argue,they barely even spoke to each other.But Noah and Zoe could see them stealing glances at each other.It was obvious that they both wanted each other.After the meeting,Cora left first.Noah saw Tristan to his car."With how much you love Cora,I can't believe you're yet to get her back."Tristan shrugged,helplessly."I gave up.""You what?""I know I deeply wronged her but I apologize and begged countlessly,I even crossed the line by losing control of myself.I've done everything I can think of,Noah.I think it's best I respect what she wants."At that moment,Tristan's s mind was in a mess, as if a lot of memorries upwelled in his mind.Noah didn't know what to say abhors.Tristan waved his hand and got on the car.
Cora had planned to turn a blind eye to it, but to her surprise, she found that after Alvin got in the car, Phoebe also got in. The two hypocritical people got on the same car unexpectedly.By the time she came back to her senses and realized that she should take some photos,Alvin's car had already started.Cora glanced at the amount of oil, it was impossible for her to drive beyond several kilometers. Besides, she was not that fond of gossips. However, it reminded her of Tristan. Even though they had been divorced, she couldn't leave him to suffer. What's more, Alvin was not a kind person. What if Phoebe suffered losses? At the thought of this, Cora's heart skipped a beat. If Phoebe was drugged by Alvin, Tristan would be pained at the knowledge of it.Cora stopped her car beside the street and hailed a taxi to follow behind Alvin's car. Luckily, she was quick enough not to lose him.She had thought of different possibilities for their destination, but it turned out that Alvin was jus
But Cora knew it was not that simple. It was obviously a bloody farewell. Something must have been brewing behind Tristan's abnormal behavior. Was it because of Phoebe?Was he going to stop pursuing and go back to Phoebe who was always available to him?In that case, Cora would look down upon Tristan.For so many years, Tristan still didn't know her. How pathetic it was.She was out of breath because of crying. She had never cried like this in front of him. Whether it was because of what happened today or because they wouldn't see each other in the future, Cora didn't care. What she cared about was that Tristan was in front of her, but she couldn't express her inner feelings at all.Cora could do nothing but cry.Zoe saw this scene through the French window of her house. Standing behind her, Noah held Zoe in his arms and said softly,"Good things never come easy. Don't worry."Zoe nodded, but she was still worried. It was so embarrassi
"You don't have to do this. I said I would set you free. Don't be nervous."Tristan said slowly. At this moment, he wanted to smoke a cigarette, but he held it back.Raising her head, Cora was surprised to see the sadness in his eyes. 'How could he have such a melancholy look? It must be an illusion!'She calmed herself down and said in self-mockery, "I didn't expect that my divorce led to their marriage. Actually, you and I both are the matchmaker for them. You have made a great contribution."Tristan was not interested in arguing with Cora. He felt tired today. In the past, he saw arguing with Cora as a kind of pleasure, but now he realized that it was not pleasure but harm.The gap between men's and women's thoughts was not small. Until now, Tristan only knew that there was a gap, but he didn't know where it was. He just felt that he was tired, even though he had suffered less than Cora"Let bygones be bygones. Start over and pursue your own happ
Zoe's mother glanced at her father John as if she was blaming him for being too straightforward. She tried to mediate, "Her father means to ask if you have any plan after marriage?"Taking a sip of abalone soup, Noah looked up at Zoe. Although Zoe had never asked him, she still hoped to hear his plan.Noah's words were clearly heard by everyone present."Take over the family business and make it stronger. It would be best if it could develop into a leading industry. And have two children. If Zoe think that two children are too many, we can only have one. And then take care of child in love and harmony.If Zoe wishes to continue working or wants to stay home,I am completely fine with any choice she makes and I'll always stand by her every step of the way.I will love and take care of her until we're old and grey."Noah didn't feel ashamed to say so in front of all people. He didn't want to make unrealistic promises. All he wanted was to be with Zoe.Tristan s
Zoe was very happy to see Noah's parents, but she hesitated whether she should call Tristan this time. It was reasonable for her to call Tristan. After all, he was Noah's good friend. Since she had called Cora who would be her bridesmaid, if she didn't call Tristan, Noah would have other thoughts.If Tristan was also invited, would Cora feel uncomfortable? She didn't want anyone of her guests to feel unhappy. Especially at such an important occasion.Zoe thought for a while and decided to ask for Cora's opinion. After all, Cora was the key to the problem, and Zoe naturally hoped that she could be happy. If Corawas unhappy, she might not be in the mood to meet Noah's parents.Zoe got out of her phone and quickly sent a message to her.Zoe: Cora, let me ask you something.Cora: What's up? Go straight to the point.Is anything wrong?Zoe was pleasantly surprised to see the prompt reply. She felt warm in her heart. Whether it was friendship or lo
Phoebe made an inspection tour around the jewelry store. She was very attentive on her business, and the shop was finally running normally.Sure enough, where there is a will, there is a way. As a girl who was situated in business field since an early age,Phoebe knew how to run business even if she had no experience. As soon as she took over the jewelry store, she successfully ran the business on the right track. If time could travel backward, maybe she would be interested in learning business as her major.Hearing the familiar ringtone, Phoebe took the phone from the table listlessly, wondering who was calling. The moment she saw the caller ID, she couldn't suppress her ecstasy. It was Tristan!After clearing her throat, she calmly pressed the answer key. "Hello, Tristan.""Phoebe, I shouldn't have blamed you for what happened last time. I should have trusted you. Would you like to come to meet up this weekend and we could have a talk. I also have someone to introduce to you."Tristan
