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
…Despite searching through every nook and cranny of the city, Liam couldn't get his hands on a single clue to prove Joye's assumption right.More specifically, the rumors flying around the city.If Haley was alive, who was that woman he'd seen lifeless on the hospital’s bed?The resemblance was uncanny, and it just didn't make sense.If she was alive, would her family have buried her?The rumors started from the funeral and nobody knew who started the rumors.Probably the paparazzi who wanted to drive network to their website.Nobody knew of her identity until after her death.And apart from the rumor that she was still alive, there were other strange rumors that her family had a hand in her death.It all didn't make sense.Nobody should believe everything the media said.“Uhm, Mr. Nash-” A gentle tap on the table brought him back to the present.Liam returned his attention to the man sitting across from him. “- I hope everything's alright,” The man added. Liam shook his head.If
…Why would he take her away?She'd only spent a night.Wasn't that journey too tiresome for a little girl?How could he be so cruel?Why?Despite all the reasons he'd given her, Haley couldn't bring herself to believe any of them.No reason was strong enough for him to take her away. She'd looked forward to meeting her baby,But then, he just had to crush her happiness by sending her away behind her back.“Still mad at me?” He came inside the room, his tall frame towering behind her. Haley didn't move or glance at him. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she fiddled with the little hair clip in her hands… the only reminder of Lannie.“I said I'm sorry…” He sat beside her, sighing heavily. “It has been three days already… let it go.”Let it go?How could she let it go?Wasn't Lannie their child?Why would he treat a little girl that way? Haley shifted away from him, inching closer to the bed’s headboard. “Come on, we're the only two people in this house,” he said helplessly. “I'll die
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
…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
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.
~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
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
