Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 188. Critical Condition
… What now?Would his mother not rest until she managed to destroy herself? Whenever she wanted to bully Haley, something bad always happened to her.Wasn't it high time she realized that the heavens were probably punishing her for Haley's innocence?As Liam drove down to the hospital, a mist of anger and fear clouded his mind. After seeing his father's message, he'd completely lost it. More than twice, he almost got into a head-on collision.Vera was just recovering from her previous injuries.Would she render herself handicapped for real this time? “Mr. Nash, thank goodness you arrived early. She's in the ICU!” A nurse came rushing to him the moment he entered the hospital.She was the same nurse who had taken care of his mother previously. “Is she in danger?” Liam said with bated breath. From the nurse's expression, was that question even necessary?It was a car accident for goodness sake, not a simple fall. “I'm sorry, Mr. Nash.” The nurse shook her head. “She's in a criti

The beeping sound from the vital machine began fading gradually, awakening a new layer of anxiety in him. His gaze snapped to the machine, raw fear clutching at his chest. Liam sprang to his feet. “M- Mr. Nash, I- I think we're losing her!” The nurse's exclamation was unnecessary. Liam could understand what was happening. No…“Quick! CPR- she needs immediate CPR- no, where's the device!!!” The nurse ran around in circles,While Liam's mind swirled in confusion, the sound from the machine, now rapid, fuelling his frustration.“W- We have to wheel her back to the emergency room!” The nurse went on. Liam stood immobilized, frozen in place, his limbs unable to move an inch. Staring at the nurse muttering rapid words to herself, every single hope in his heart vanished. To think that she was the only nurse present. What the hell were the others doing?However,The constant footsteps from the hallway outside and the screaming and yelling meant there were other patients in a similar

…Clink. Clink. Clink.The atmosphere inside the dining room was stale, the tension foreboding. Curling her toes and feigning calmness, Haley lowered her head to focus on her food.Starkly aware of the two intense gazes on her, however, her appetite was nowhere to be found.She just wanted to get out of here.Even better, she wanted them to say something.Or even scold her.Yet, her parents only watched her…Until her mother decided to break the silence. “To what do we owe this honor?” Haley gulped. Yeah… it was indeed an honor that she finally decided to join them for breakfast. “Haley Woods, hope I'm not seeing wrong.” Her father cleared his throat. Haley didn't dare look up.Not because she was afraid to.But because she was afraid she might spill something that she'd regret later. To say she was mad at her parents was an understatement.The couple who wanted to force her into an arranged marriage despite knowing she didn't want it.An awkward silence hung in the atmosphere

Harry appeared normal, but there may be a defect in his brain. Was that reason sound enough?Because Daryl's action hurt his pride, he wanted to teach him a lesson through her. How ridiculous! “Hey, don't start thinking bad of me…” Smiling, he shifted close to her. Haley shifted away, throwing him a warning glare. Think bad of him?She thought the worse of him. A normal grown-up adult wouldn't play such a silly trick.“It's childish, you know…”“I know…” He agreed, not looking a bit apologetic. “But somebody needs to know that messing with a Lawson means battle.”Urgh!What was with these families thinking so highly of themselves.Sometimes, Haley would wish she was never born into any of these socialites families.They appeared to be more civiliazed but were actually bunch of arrogant folks who loved holding grudges.For goodness sake, since when did swallowing insults become a crime?“To top it all, I like you, Haley…” Harry went on. “Considering the benefits we'll bring to ea

…His mind must be tricking him.That voice…Her face.Why did she act as if she didn't recognize him?Was it even her?Wasn't it somebody else?Well, her surname… her eyes…Leah shared a great resemblance with Lisa,However, Lisa was different.Liam mustn't be mistaken.That was definitely her. But, Dr. Lawson…Since when did she become a Doctor? Sitting on the couch inside the hospital’s VIP room, Liam was so engrossed in his thoughts.His phone had been ringing beside him, but he failed to notice,Until the nurse brought his attention to it. He didn't even know when the nurse entered.“Mr. Nash, I hope everything is okay,” the nurse asked, concern etched on her expression. “As you can see, Mrs. Nash is responding rapidly to treatment. Her life is out of danger, she might even wake up today.”Liam was no longer worried about his mother's well-being.Her heartbeat was now stable and the nurse was right. She was responding to treatment. Three days had passed already.Three days ev

Lisa. That was definitely her voice. Liam's hand halted mid-air, the thought of knocking fleeting his mind. Listening to those two voices, their words echoed in his mind. “Raymond, you know that's not what I'm talking about.” Lisa's voice, calm and collected could hardly be heard.However, the man sounded angry. “Whatever it is has something to do with William Nash. Quit it, Lisa.”Liam walked away.He no longer needed to investigate why Lisa didn't want to see him. He'd been suspicious but his assumption turned out to be correct. She'd been avoiding him intentionally.Her conversation with that man…Dr. Jeff. Were they engaged?He did mention something about a wedding, right? What a revelation!On his way back to the VIP Ward, Liam's phone rang again. He didn't need to glance at the screen to know who was calling. After all, he hadn't finished speaking with his assistant yet when he noticed the sneaky nurse. He brought out the phone from his pocket and answered it.Expect

…At The Woods Mansion. Haley found herself on the balcony again, her unwavering gaze fixed on the same spot. Suddenly, it was daylight. That black car stood there, shimmering under the sunlight.Then it zoomed off-Damn! What was wrong with her? Slapping her forehead, Haley pulled her mind off the imagination.If only it had been just an imagination.Something told her that the car belonged to Liam. Her mind was a hundred percent sure it was him. The cold night wind swept past, sending goosebumps across her skin. Hugging herself, Haley shuddered slightly. She was supposed to be in bed, curled under the blankets.What was she doing standing here, staring at the starless sky?Or maybe she wasn't just out to watch the stars.He might come… Urgh! One week!One week was too short to execute her plans. She'd have to have an extra backup to escape her parents’ trap.Harry's trap.If they'd prolonged the wedding a bit, she'd be more prepared.But one week…Running away was no long

…The Next Day. Liam couldn't wait for the dawn to break. The sky was still dark, the chilly morning air clouding the atmosphere. At this time, there weren't many cars on the road yet,But,He couldn't wait. He couldn't wait to have his questions answered.Last night had been one of the hardest. He didn't catch a wink, anticipating the morning to come. Where to go first?The hospital or her home? There was a high chance that his mother's life could be in danger. Liam couldn't leave her by herself in the hospital.And yet, he couldn't ignore what he heard last night. He had to reconfirm.After a few seconds of contemplating, he took the route that led to the city's outskirts, driving into a neighborhood that housed many residential buildings. Funny how he was driving down this area again. He'd frequented it in the past and it almost became a second home.But it had been five years since he came here last. Nothing had changed. Not even the buildings structure. Slowly, that

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
