She gave him her heart and he crushed it to pieces. If chasing love was a crime, she'd spend countless years in jail. Haley gave her whole to William Nash, sacrificing everything she had, with his happiness her only goal. His indifference never bothered her, until one night, he told her the coldest words. “Haley Nash, don't overstep your limits. I'll never have children with you. Don't forget how you plotted to marry me in the first place!” To him, all her action was a pretentious lie. Stuck in his past relationship with his Ex, he'd rather be with a woman who resembled his Ex than cherish his wife. His betrayal was the last straw. Haley let go, gathering the broken pieces of her heart. However, When she disappeared from his life, his once vibrant home, boasting of love, turned into a graveyard, and a deep scar he never knew existed opened up in his heart. Damnit! Did he mess up?
View MoreHaley followed his gaze, checking out the skimpy clothes she wore.The lacey nightwear barely concealed anything, revealing all there was to see. Urgh!She should have gone for a normal shirt and shorts.But in the fit of hunger, the thought about it fled her mind, until-Returning her gaze to his, Haley gulped, taking a cautious step back.Was he this super mad just because she wore something revealing?How the hell did it concern him anyway? “Get changed!” He snapped, pointing behind him to the stairs.The heck! What did she do wrong again?Infuriated by his actions, Haley balled her fists.Right. She was doing her best to make this dumb man understand that she wasn't in the wrong, yet, he kept giving her a hard time. If ordering her around was his way of intimidation, then he'd failed big time. From the deadly look in his eyes, Haley shuddered instead…But she maintained a brave front, lifting her chin and meeting his gaze. “As you wish!”Slowly, she curled her fingers around
Driven by curiosity and hoping that her mind was just being dramatic, Haley followed them upstairs.When she arrived in the hallway, they were already out of sight.But she heard voices… from the master's bedroom.Slowing down her footsteps, Haley's heart beat with discomfort as she approached the door. “Hey, keep still…” She laughed. “I promise it won't hurt.”“Who told you I'm scared?”“You eyes.”“Oh, really?” He laughed. “Watch me-”“No!” The lady's gasp echoed. Then she sighed. “You're so unbelievable, Will… allow a professional to apply it instead.”“It's no biggie. I'm done.”Done?Done with what?Haley pursed her lips, wishing she could disconnect her hearing from her heart.Why were they laughing together?She never knew that grumpy man knew how to laugh,And she couldn't remain here and continue eavesdropping,She had to see what was going on in there.Liam might catch her, so what?Pushing the door open, Haley stepped inside the room. Behold, Liam sat on the bed, facing t
Frowning, Liam focused his attention on his food.Whatever she was up to, he wouldn't fall for it. Fine!If he finished eating, he'd personally throw her out.And Joye would have to receive an earful for setting this up. Haley wouldn't be able to get in here unnoticed without the assistant's help. She must have been here even before he stepped into this house.From the simple blouse and shorts she wore, she must have changed into this after arriving here.“So here it goes…” She cleared her throat, dragging his attention. “W- When I woke up on the Island, Liam-”“I didn't permit you to speak!” Liam grumbled, throwing her a glare.Listening to more lies would only ruin his appetite.Even now, he didn't have much desire to finish the food or linger here.The more he stared at her face, the more that image of her and his brother replayed in his mind.Hell, she might force him to do something they'd both regret!“Well, eat up…” She shrugged, feigning carelessness, although the sparkle o
…His heart tightened, threatening to burst inside his chest. Why did she have to come back, fuelling this agony in his heart?Just when he'd thought he could live with the hate, carrying it to his grave,She came back with that docile front, threatening to break down his defenses. Like a whirlwind, she returned and upended his not-so-perfect world.Then she never came back!It had been three days since she came to see him in the hospital…Three days since the thoughts of her intensified in his head.Now he could see nothing or no one else but her- both awake and inside his dreams and nightmares.“Something seems to be bothering you, Boss.” Sitting beside him in the backseat of the car, the assistant glanced up from the tablet in his hands. Then he added, “Don't worry… we'll soon get there. That spot must be hurting.”The pain from the spot where he'd been stabbed was nothing in comparison with the hurt in his heart.He couldn't even tell if that spot ached.The only source of pain
If only she could die so easily.If only committing suicide wasn't a crime. If Liam didn't like her, what's the point of living?Haley had just found a new purpose in life, why would she just sit and watch her happiness slip away?Liam was just angry at her.If he didn't like her, would he have done all those commendable acts while she wasn't here?Would he have helped her family build back the company at the expense of losing a huge fortune in his family's company? She'd heard him and her family didn't get along,Yet, he did something so kind…If it wasn't because of her, why would he do that? Andrew stared at her, taking in her disheveled disappearance, the helplessness in his eyes echoing in his tone, “Let’s get out of here.”He held the car's door open and Haley got inside.Yes, she was going to receive an earful again. Like she wasn't supposed to be here,And she was supposed to let go since he no longer wanted her. But why?She'd thought her family would support her, howeve
~Divorced!That single word shattered her heart, the reality hard and devastating.Wasn't there a way to reverse it? It could be canceled, right?If she hadn't heard stories about how he'd become in her absence, she would believe he was her greatest enemy.If she hadn't heard that he'd literally run crazy because she wasn't here, Haley would believe he hated her. She'd pulled many stunts before she got to see him. Gaining entrance into the Nash Mansion was the hardest.She was advised not to go there, yet she did.The vile woman who slapped her and warned her to stay away from her son didn't even faze her.What Daryl made her do must have hurt a lot of people.Only Grandma Lily was kind enough to understand the story.Liam was still mad at her.If only she'd have her memories back to remember the right way to coax him.Haley didn't know how she left the ward, and she ended up sitting outside on the waiting chair.She couldn't bear his deadly look full of hate. She couldn't afford
Right! He should have thought about that right from the start.That would even save the guy who stabbed him the trouble.What's the point of living anymore?He'd still remain the unluckiest man…Lisa exchanged glances with Joye, her eyes wary and sad.Then she composed herself, retaining the gentle smile on her face. “This is the funniest joke of the century.”“Hahahaha! You're right!” Joye laughed along. “The Boss is surely funny.”Then they carried on with the discussion of where to transfer him to. Liam couldn't believe they were ignoring his request.They thought it was a joke?Fine!He was capable enough to carry out the job himself. “Will, you'll need to eat a lot these days because your medications are strong…” Lisa advised. “I'll make sure the kitchen staff prepare the healthiest meal for you-”“But Boss doesn't like hospital food-” Joye interrupted her. “Can I bring him food from-”“No.” Lisa glanced at the assistant helplessly. “The hospital food is the best at the moment.
…Why did she cheat on him?Was his feelings insignificant?Was it a toy she could play with as she pleased? Imagine his sleepless nights.Imagine him almost running crazy because of her demise.If a woman could fake her own death to be with a man, didn't she love him more than her own life? Neither he nor Harry Lawson stood a chance. She'd only used Harry as a cover. Daryl was the person she truly loved… His own brother!Liam should have realized that Daryl wouldn't give up easily.Haley rejecting him that night was also a lie.The two had already made this plan right from the beginning,And he was the fool who blindly acted along in their game.If fate hadn't driven him to that orphanage, would he have known the truth?He'd still be fooling himself, assuming he was the heroic husband who couldn't get over the death of his wife.“Mr. Nash- Sir…” A gentle tap on his shoulder pulled him out of oblivion. Liam squinted, adjusting his vision to the light.“Damnit, you're wasted-” Th
Cheating with his brother?What did he mean?And why did he look so alike with Daryl- her husband?What was this strange feeling in her heart?“Speechless, huh?” He pinned her down with a hard glare that made her shudder. “You never thought I'd ever find you or anyone else in such a situation.”Then he laughed, a bitter chuckle that squeezed her heart. “You could even fake your own death to be with him. Is that how much you love him?” Everything he said troubled and unsettled her heart.Why would she fake her own death?Who exactly was he?Why did he look as if she'd picked up a knife and stabbed his chest? The guy beside her moved.This time, he was widely awake.Sitting on the bed, Daryl's gaze darted from her to his brother, his eyes wide, his expression paling like an ash. “Oh, shit! How the hell did you find this place!!!”His question fell on deaf ears.The man ignored Daryl's exclamation, retaining a blank look.Then he turned towards the door and snapped his fingers.In the
