Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 199. Remember Their Love
…It was a place unlike the one she'd ever seen before. Fresh, calm, and bright… an atmosphere unrivaled by any kind of serenity.In this place, her steady heartbeat brimmed with contentment, her whole being blending in with the peaceful background. Amidst the contentment, however, a feeling of longing lingered. Her heart longed for so many answers.Who was she?How did she get here?And how did she end up with him?As Haley sat on the balcony, across the vast ocean ahead, those questions reverberated in her mind.The questions that had been haunting her for God knew how long.Was it right from the time she opened her eyes and found herself in this place?For that was when her life truly began.Whatever had happened before that was but a blurred blend of memories fragmented and scattered. “You love hanging out here, huh?” His voice, filled with laughter and love, chuckled from behind her. Haley didn't need to turn to know who it was.She kept her eyes on the ocean, supporting he
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 200. The Euphoric Feeling
Of all the stories he'd told her,Of all the sad news, this was the most devastating.Her own family did this to her.How?Why?Was her love for him enough to make them abandon and try to kill her?This information was too hard to digest. It disoriented her thoughts and puzzled her mind.Did her family disapprove of them?Did she love him so much?Who was he?Who was she?“I'm sorry.” Daryl dropped the frying pan and turned off the stove, his voice heavy with sadness. “I shouldn't have mentioned that now.”He pulled her to her feet and hugged her. “Don't cry, huh?”Was she crying?Was she supposed to cry? But Haley couldn't control her tears as they rolled down her cheeks.She'd asked him so many questions and he'd answered each of them.This was the only question she hadn't asked him yet.It never crossed her mind in fact… how she ended up like this.So it was her family.The family she'd longed every day to at least know who they were.“I'm so sorry…” Daryl kept on murmuring an ap
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 201. Losing His Mind
…Amongst all the calamities he'd gone through before and those that were coming, this was the greatest.The hardest to cope with. He'd never for a split second thought he could lose her.Liam never saw this great calamity coming.Like a whirlwind, it came and swept away all his existence.His happiness and dreams…Funny how they all went away with her.Would he ever be healed from this heartbreak?Would he be able to?Liam had hoped it was a prank.He'd prayed Haley was playing another trick on him.However, it was the end of their story and the beginning of lifelong loneliness full of haunting memories. “Mr. Nash, here are your schedules for today.”The secretary’s voice broke him free of the confines of his thoughts, pulling him back to the reality he dreaded the most.Ana seemed to love barging in unannounced recently.Or probably he'd always failed to hear her knock. “Where's Joye?” Liam frowned, glancing at the tablet in her hands. The assistant was supposed to bring this to
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 202. Make Him Forget Haley
What was she doing here?Frowning, Liam glanced from her to his mother.If he wasn't mistaken, Lisa just came out of his parents’ quarters.And to think that she was wearing casual home clothes.“Mrs. Nash. It's okay… She went on, coaxing his mother. “Let's go in or you might catch a cold.”The woman sighed and let go of him. Obediently, she followed Lisa back into the house.Puzzled about what was going on, Liam stood there without any plans of following them inside. A servant walked past and he stopped her. “When did she come?”“You mean Ms. Lawson, Young Master?”Liam nodded to her question.What was Lisa doing in his family's home?Since when did she and his mother become close?“Ms. Lawson came here three days ago. When your mother's illness acted up, she rushed here in the middle of the night.”That night, Liam hadn't been himself.Just like many other nights ever since he lost Haley.He'd gotten several missed calls from the servants as well as Lisa. So it was about his mothe
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 203. Something Strange
Lisa looked down, her lips stretching into a small smile. “Mrs. Nash, this is a huge request you asked for.”“I know!” Vera stroked her hair. “But you're so good to me. I know you'll make a perfect wife for Will. At first glance, you're unlike Leah who's a traitor and two-faced. You're genuinely kind at heart, Lisa… Please accept my request.”Lisa kept her head lowered, staring at her hands. Glancing from the girl to his mother, Liam couldn't believe his ears.Would the woman never stop until she saw to his or her room?She'd pushed Leah onto him and now she wanted to repeat the same thing. If the woman hadn't claimed that Leah saved her life, Liam would never have noticed her. No doubt, saving his mother's life was a well-orchestrated strategy by both his father and Leah to get her close to the family and get rid of his mother someday. “Come on, Dear…” When Lisa did not reply, Vera went on. “I know you have a thing for my son. Consider this as your chance of becoming the new Mrs.
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 204. Her Boyfriend
…At The Island.She'd been sitting on the lounging chair since morning.She'd lost count of the number of coconut milk she'd drunk to keep herself from getting hungry. Except for the yacht captain fishing in the sea, nobody else was in sight.Boredom and loneliness consumed her, but in its wake was the anticipation of when he'd come back. This was the first time he'd left her side ever since she woke up.It felt strange at first, and even now Haley was uncomfortable.However, she'd also been anticipating today for three days now. “Why don't you join me, Miss…” The yacht captain called out, his voice carried by the breeze. “You appear lonely over there.”Haley shook her head, waving with a smile. Of all the instructions Daryl had given her, he'd made it clear that this was the most important.She wasn't allowed to speak with strangers. “I can teach you fishing!” He yelled out again. Fishing?Whatever he was doing outside there fascinated her,But the big wide sea ahead terrified
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 205. Leaving The Island
Strangely, the headache went away the moment it came, however, leaving a strong impact that had her swaying backward.In the next second, she lay on the floor still hugging the little girl.“Are you alright, Mummy?” Frowning a bit, Lannie touched her forehead.Was Haley alright?This sudden headache came out of nowhere.Was it a part of her illness?Or was it a sign that she was recovering? “I- I’m fine.” She got up, trying to put on her best smile. Daryl was already on their side, the worried look on his face worse than that of Lannie. He squatted beside her and touched her forehead. “Is everything okay?”Haley nodded. What happened to her just now was beyond explanation.How was she going to put it in a way that he'd understand?Was this a positive improvement or a negative one?Daryl withdrew his hand, giving her a cautious look as if he didn't believe her. But then, his expression transformed into that of a radiant smile. “I've fulfilled my promise, right?”Haley chuckled. “S
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 206. Sent Back
His answer came out harsh and sharp, jostling her.Why couldn't they go with Lannie?Were they supposed to leave her here alone with no one but that crazy yacht captain?“Damnit!” A look of regret flashed in his eyes and he cursed under his breath.Daryl came forward and embraced her. “Sorry if I scared you.”Indeed, she'd been terrified to the bones. This side of him, although he only showed it for a second, scared her.It almost reminded her of a particular person frowning and snapping at her.Who was that person though?Why was her heart racing? “I'm sorry…” Daryl repeated, murmuring against her hair. Gradually, she calmed down, her heartbeat steadying.Haley returned the embrace, wrapping her arms around him. “Why isn't Lannie coming with us?”“The journey will wear her out.”“She's gonna feel lonely-”“I know.” He sighed. “But we're not gonna take long… we'll be back in a jiffy.”“Really?”“I'll also hire someone to look after her while we're gone,” Daryl added, his assurance
