Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 118. An Experiment
…At DG Villa Estates, The Next Morning. Haley slipped on her shoes, yawning. She glanced at the wristwatch. If she hadn't overslept last night, she'd be at work right now.Last night was one of the most difficult nights she'd experienced.Convincing Lannie to return to the orphanage was the hardest task.Haley didn't know what Daryl told the little girl and she finally agreed to go,But, she had Daryl to thank for making it easy.Sigh! That cunning man, William Nash.Haley had a feeling Lannie would become a handful from now on.It was all due to Liam's fault who wouldn't mind his business.It took forever to tie up the straps of her shoes.Groaning, Haley almost gave up when the pins clicked into place.Then an unusual noise sounded outside the room. All the way from downstairs, Haley could hear that high-pitched voice. Standing up, she grabbed her handbag and left the bedroom. Downstairs,Camille sat on the couch, sipping an orange juice from a glass.Strange!Why was she here

Oh, no!Daryl came to a screeching halt before colliding with them.Awkwardness filled with tension hung in the air immediately.Haley cursed inside.Damnit!Not now!Daryl's appearance didn't bother her. The only thing that creeped her out was Camille's inquisitive nature. “Uhm… am I interrupting anything?” Scratching the back of his neck, Daryl glanced between them, smiling.Camille shook her head promptly, snapping out of her trance. She jumped in to answer Daryl's question. “No-no-no, you're not. What nice cookies you've got there!”She grabbed one and tasted it. “Mm. Yummy!”The awkward look on Daryl's face disappeared. He loosened up and laughed. “Well, thank you. I can give you more… if only Haley allows it.”“Oh, really?” Camille raised an inquisitive brow, throwing Haley a knowing look.“Haha! Very funny!” Haley grabbed the cookies from Daryl. “They look nice.”“They're all yours.”“More like ‘I’m all yours.’” Camille was whispering,But Haley heard what she said. She wa

As the woman left her car with the driver, they went on to check the side of the car which was grazed slightly.Her expression turned bitter immediately as she stomped towards Camille's car. “Who the hell is inside there?” Vera slapped the car's hood. “Come out here and see what nonsense you've done. Are you so stupid to drive so recklessly!?”Who the hell was driving recklessly among them?Haley was fortified.But she couldn't put it past Vera.She was obviously the troublemaker, and no doubt Camille's car sustained more damage.“Don't go out,” Camille ordered the driver. “I know how to handle her types.”Camille stomped out of the car, slamming the door. Haley's heart sank!Was she going to confront this evil woman, Vera?However, what her sister-in-law did left her speechless. Instead of walking up to Vera, Camille went to the car's booth and brought out a wrench,Then she shattered Vera's car's window with it!“Ahhhhh! You!” Vera screamed. “How dare you destroy my car!?”Anothe

…At DG Jewelry Corp.Liam sat in his office, staring at his wristwatch. Thirty minutes had passed. It had been a while since he sent that employee to get Haley…Why hadn't she returned yet?Was Haley not in the company?She might be snubbing him again. That woman!Was it because he gave her the go-ahead to rest for a few days? Ridiculous.She knew how important it was to not miss a single day of work.He could cut her salary and she could do nothing about it.Ten more minutes passed by. Now it had been forty minutes since Liam sent the employee.Maybe he should go down and take a look. But Haley liked treating him as a stranger in the employees' presence.Well, it wasn't like Liam cared either. Finally!A soft knock came on the door. That employee had returned. “What took you so long?” Liam gave her a displeased look, glancing behind her to see if Haley was with her.The employee came back alone, however.Where the hell was Haley? “Ehm, Mr. Nash… I- I was waiting for Haley

Desmond Nash was so enraged that he paced back and forth and punched the wall several times. His knuckles were bruised, but the middle-aged man didn't seem to care. His murderous look was enough to make one tremble on their toes.His deadly aura made the driver cower in a corner, while Leah hid behind Liam's back. Liam couldn't help but reprimand Haley in his mind, seeing his father like this. “Dad, calm down,” he murmured. How could he think of killing Haley?That troublemaker was present there, but she didn't put her hands in the fight. The fight was only between his mother and Camille Woods. Haley shouldn't be involved. “By the way!” His father yelled. “Why are you standing here instead of ransacking the city for that filthy girl and teaching her a lesson!?”“You have to put an end to this, Will.” Leah butted in. “Haley's fond of using Camille Woods to bully others. Remember what happened at the beauty parlor.”Liam had almost forgotten about that event. At the beauty parlo

…At DG Villa Estates.After a whole day of chaos, they were finally home. Driving around the city wasn't easy, but the worst experience was the strenuous activities they had to undergo at the hospital. Haley's fears came true. They didn't even get to do shopping all because of that huge drama. The Mall's parking lot suddenly turned into a battlefield, her sister-in-law ended up in the hospital, in fact. “Ouch! Be careful!” Camille yelped as Haley carefully helped her sit on the couch. With one hand cuddling her huge bump, and the other hand holding her waist, her expression twisted, her eyes red as sweat poured down her forehead. One would think Camille was in labor. Haley couldn't even imagine the kind of pain she must be going through.“Haley, my waist- it's gonna break!”“Of course…” Haley chided softly. “Why would you fight with Vera Nash?”The troublesome woman was very strong. It was a miracle that Camille was able to defeat her. Apart from that,One of Vera's bodygua

Haley's ears must be playing tricks on her.Why would Liam go to the mansion to humiliate her parents?Why couldn't he have a private meeting with them?Was he so mad that he couldn't wait?Damn that man!!!It's no wonder the couple were mad at Camille.Liam shaming them in public must have caused that.Who knew what those onlookers were saying?They could jump to any conclusions.They could label Camille with bad words.Because, the all-mighty William Nash was there, they wouldn't dare say that Vera Nash was at fault too.In such a situation, wasn't a pregnant woman supposed to be pitied the most?Vera started it by the way!“No- No- No, you don't mean it.” At her brother's last words, Camille shook her head in disbelief, tears gathering in her eyes. “They're not angry-”“They are, Camille.” Andrew softened his voice, the rage in his eyes fading.But Camille's fear was evident.No longer was she screaming and angry,Her expression shifting from disbelief to fear, she cowered into And

~Stepping out of his car, Liam's eyes swept across the place before they settled on the mini Villa ahead.Was Daryl out of his mind?Why would he move into this kind of place?Apart from being very far from the company, this neighborhood was near the city's outskirts.Was Liam's Intel even correct that his brother had moved in here?But Daryl's assistant would never lie to him.That could cost the guy his job.Well, he'd rot here for all Liam cared.If it wasn't for Haley's sake, Liam wouldn't even come.As his brother kept rejecting his calls, Liam had to come in person.Something told him Daryl knew where Haley was hiding.If Liam couldn't coax the truth out of him, he'd force him to spill it. Throwing a final glance across the vast empty neighborhood, Liam stepped forward and pressed the doorbell.No reply.Was Daryl not home?He pressed it again, and still no answer.Well, if Liam didn't get a reply for the third time, he'd have to conclude no one was living here.Probably,Dary

Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 224. Epilogue
…~ One Year Later ~When others saw the bright sun of the morning, she could only see the orange sun, gradually fading, giving way to darkness. When there was a storm, people looked forward to the peace and calmness after it, while she only foresaw many more storms looming ahead. She should have been more pessimistic than this,Then she could have at least saved one life. If she hadn't been a coward, hoping that crazy guy would have a little mercy, she wouldn't have fallen for his lies. She'd take the gunshot instead.But no,She'd trusted him… that was her biggest mistake.Daryl’s cruelty had been beyond saving. Helping him lure Liam to the occasion was her biggest regret. Maybe… just maybe- if she'd been brave enough, Liam wouldn't have-“Mrs. Nash, sorry to interrupt you!” The secretary barged into the office, snapping her out of her thoughts. “The Stakeholders' meeting will commence in the next three minutes. Do you need my help getting ready?”Haley sighed. Right, the meeti
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 223. His Biggest Regret
What gibberish was he sputtering?How did he even manage to sneak into the Villa?How did he manage to overpower the bodyguards?After Daryl’s last words, he hung up, leaving Liam wondering what the hell that crazy boy was up to again.He mustn't be serious about marrying Haley. Apart from being illegal, it didn't make any sense. What stupid judge would get them married without the consent of one party?Daryl was only trying to irritate him.“Sir, is he telling the truth?” Joye who had probably heard the conversation because Daryl's voice was too loud, blinked rapidly. “Is he going to get married to Madam?”Liam chuckled.That was impossible.Haley would not even agree. “I think this is serious, Sir…” Joye exclaimed. “Your brother is up to no good. Let's go and see.”Of course, Liam was going there.If it meant finding that crazy boy there, why wouldn't he go?Daryl was playing with fire.Kidnapping Haley from the Villa was already a gruesome offense? On his command, the driver tu
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 222. His Sister-in-law
…Was this it?Was this the end of the family's reputation? The same questions kept resonating in Liam's mind all day. The company's stocks were crumbling again,Some of the shareholders were pulling out their investments,And the employees were all in a frenzy.Watching the Nash Empire crumble right before his eyes was something he never dreamt about.He'd never for once seen this happening in any of his nightmares.Liam thought he'd left no loose ends. Every source the news would get leaked out, he'd already blocked it.How then did his brother lay his hands on this crucial secret? How the hell did Daryl even escape from the police custody? “He shouldn't have left the city yet, Mr. Nash…” The Police Chief assured him, “We are going to find him before the day ends.”The day was already ending.All Liam wanted was for all this to be over. He'd left the Villa without informing Haley. He could only imagine her anxiety at the moment. Joye reported to him that she called and she d
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 221. Their Reputation
Haley waited at the dining table patiently, her gaze traveling to the doorway now and then. Liam and his assistant must be discussing something important, probably related to work. Well, was it so secretive that they had to discuss it outside?She glanced at the clock.Thirty minutes later, they weren't back yet. Now her mind was troubled.What was taking them so long?What were they even discussing?Liam didn't even wear proper clothing, wouldn't he catch a cold outside? Tapping her fingers impatiently on the desk, Haley stood up. She headed outside the building, looking forward to seeing Liam and his assistant.To her surprise, they weren't there.Even the assistant’s car was gone if he came with any.What was happening?Did they sneak out of the Villa?If not, how could she not have heard any sound?To confirm her thoughts, Haley strode to the security man. “It's too early and cold, Madam… what are you doing outside?” Was the first thing the concerned young man asked. Haley
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 220. The Healing Kiss
That explained it all. Was she just lucky or were the heavens by her side? Staring into his eyes, she saw nothing but genuine affection.The affection she'd been searching for ever since she returned. Her instincts never lied, and the feeling was strong.Liam loved her.He never hated her.He was only mad because of the misunderstanding.“But you gave me a hard time, huh.” Haley poked at his chest, pouting. However, Liam laughed lightheartedly, taking her wrists in his hands. “Believe me, I didn't.”Right.He'd planned to do worse. If she hadn't summoned the courage, speaking like a crazy person last night, convinced she was speaking to the air, he'd still regard her as his enemy.Her craziness paid off, and-“I'm sorry.” Drawing her close by wrapping both arms around her waist, his expression turned sullen. “I shouldn't have treated you that way.”Indeed, she'd been almost broken beyond repair.Amidst the despair, she marveled at where she got the courage to chase him. “If I fo
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 219. Heard Everything
On entering the living room, however, the woman came to a screeching halt, her eyes popping out of their sockets.Her lips parted like a fish’s, and pointing a trembling finger forward, she shouted, “You, this silly girl! Why're you with my son!?”Haley's heart dropped to her stomach.Damnit!For some reason, this woman hated her to the core. Even when she visited the mansion, the woman had hollered at and hit her. Wondering what she did wrong, she'd tried to apologize which only intensified her cruel actions towards her. Liam's mother didn't like her.Did she offend her in the past? “I thought you were hitting it off with Lisa already!” She faced Liam. “What are you doing with this wayward psychotic girl? Do you want me to die of a heart attack, Son!?”As she scolded Liam, the bodyguards dropped the boxes and left. Instinctively, Haley found herself shrinking behind him, hiding her presence.As if caught red-handed in an offensive act, she trembled on her toes, grabbing his arm
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 218. Tried To Kill Him
Haley paused.Then she pulled away with a sigh.Was she supposed to be mad at his words? Did she have the right to?He'd claimed not to love her anymore, but he just touched her.Liam's words might be partially correct. Even though he no longer loved her, at least he was still attracted to her. Lust and love…“You mean desire?” She stared at him, hope igniting a spark in her heart.“Call it what you like…” Liam turned his back to her. “It doesn't change anything.”But it might change a lot.The inkling was strong, fuelling her persistence. Haley didn't even know why she was smiling when she should be broken-hearted at the moment.‘Patience is key.’She'd soon have Liam wrapped around her fingers,But what happened a while ago wouldn't repeat itself. Not unless his wound healed. With a last glance at his back, she got down from the bed and headed inside the bathroom.She washed up the blood stains from the shirt and blew it dry with the hair dryer she found. Many minutes later, s
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 217. Still Loved Her!
Haley 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
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 216. Hurting Her!
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
