Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 98. A Greenhouse That Glowed
Where she belonged?It couldn't be that damned place he called his home, right?No!No way!The dread alone, added to the intense ache in Haley's stomach, was enough to drag her into unconsciousness.And when she opened her eyes, something bizarre happened.Where was the ache in her stomach?Why was she in this familiar bedroom? For a few seconds, Haley couldn't recall how she got here.She sat on the king-sized bed, hugging her supposedly aching abdomen which seemed all normal now. That was weird.She checked out the dress she was wearing… Still the same blue dress Daryl bought for her. Then her eyes scanned the enormous bedroom. At the sight of no one, Haley let out a relieved sigh. Damn. That crazy man.Thank goodness he wasn't on the bed with her. Where was he by the way?And what time was it?The clock on the bedside table read midnight and Haley shuddered.How was she going to escape at this time of the night?But she couldn't remain here.She couldn't wait until morning fo
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 99. A Trap
As if propelled by an invisible force, Haley's feet changed directions, transporting her to the place.The more she approached, the lighter her heart,And the wider the sudden awe gleaming in her chest.Who did this to her garden?Haley planted her palms on the glass walls, peering inside. Not only was it groomed, fashioned, and decorated, it was also illuminated with artificial lights that would keep the plants alive at night.Whose job was this?Lana was bad at gardening, she wouldn't pull this stunt even if she took a crash course in decorating and gardening.To have a proper view, Haley pushed the glass door open and wandered inside. The fruits were robust and the vegetables were glowing. She squatted to touch one of the bouncy red tomatoes, when-“You like it?”Liam's voice jolted her yet again.The energy to scream departed her, rendering her body weak, immobilized by the shock. Haley sighed.Maybe Liam's intention for bringing her here was to give her a heart attack.She ro
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 100. Her Heart Desire
Great!Just great!Why hadn't she seen this coming?Was this supposed to be a surprise for her?Clearly, Liam wanted to show her something and it was now in front of her.Why else would he agree she come to this guestroom?The sight of Leah lying on the huge bed, dressed so provocatively in what she termed as nightwear, awoken Haley's irritation. She scoffed and turned to leave,Then-“Ahhh! You again!” Haley crashed into the man leaning by the door frame, watching her intently. On his lips was an almost invisible smile. “Would you prefer the master bedroom instead?”Scumbag!Stupid!Bottling in her rage, Haley pushed him out of her way. “William Nash, what exactly do you want from me?”“Spend the night.”Haley narrowed her eyes. She wasn't gonna buy that. “Say it now before I leave. I no longer care about those dogs!”The resolve in Haley's voice scared even her. She couldn't overpower those dogs, but she was more concerned with leaving. How could she sleep here when Liam's mi
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 101. Poisoning Their Food
Daryl stood outside the gates, holding the leashes of the three huge dogs.One dog lunged at him but ended up nozzling his face on his chest. Another dog did the same, and the last dog was simply pulling at the edges of his pants.Haley blinked, left in disbelief.At first, she'd been afraid the dogs were attacking Daryl. It turned out Daryl was only playing with these ferocious animals.Pulling herself together, Haley recovered from the shock. How long had he been standing outside?It mustn't be that Daryl slept here, right? “Daryl-” Haley called his attention, causing him to turn around.The moment his gaze landed on her, his eyes lit up. “You’re out finally. My wait has been worth it.”Huh, really? “Since when did you come?” She voiced out her thoughts.Daryl gave her that careless smile again, a sign that he was about to say something her mind couldn't take.“I spent five hours at least…” He chuckled. “Taming these big boys.”Haley's heart sank. Her assumption was right.Dar
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 102. Fighting Leah's Battles
…After learning of the food poisoning, not only did Haley hate that man more… but she also dreaded him more.She'd underestimated Liam again. Imagine the intense ache in her stomach last night. Imagine her almost thinking Liam was her savior who must have given her something to stop the stomach ache.To ward off those wary thoughts, Haley must go to work to clear her mind. Although confronting Liam would worsen things, she would just avoid him as best as she could.A Separation Agreement!He wished!As Haley stepped inside the company, she brought out her phone and dialed her brother. “Time to execute your plan.”“Why the rush? Have you signed the divorce?”“Liam wants to sign a Separation Agreement instead,” Haley replied, rolling her eyes at that thought.Andrew cursed under his breath. For a few seconds, he didn't say anything.Then his voice sounded. “Hang in there. I'll take care of everything.”“Thanks, Bro.”Haley hung up just in time to step out of the elevator, and into
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 103. Grow Old Waiting
Haley stilled. Panic gripping her heart, she dreaded to turn around and come face to face with the person.She hoped it was a part of her imagination.That voice wasn't real.'Crystal.’No one knew her by that name in this company. That voice… it almost resembled Liam's. The footsteps didn't stop until they stopped in front of her. Cole! Haley shouldn't be relieved, yet she was. In Cole's hand were her tablet and notebook.“You found them.”“If I was hiding this huge secret, I would be careful.” Cole handed the devices to her, smiling.Yeah. Haley had been reckless.But she went to Liam's office yesterday intending to come back to her cubicle. She couldn't predict how things would turn out.Still, she should have been careful. Now someone knew her secret.“Now I know why this company cherishes you,” Cole went on. “At first, I thought you got in through your looks. So you're the mysterious Crystal.”Haley sighed and found a place to sit. “Can you keep it a secret?”If words got

…She was foolish enough to not read the terms in the agreement.Well, it was her loss, not his.Liam went back to his office. For the first time after several weeks, he was a bit satisfied, his mind finally at ease.The Separation Agreement would be enough to tame her. In the meantime, he'd show her who was the Boss.And now that this problem was taken care of, it was time to solve another one.Sitting on his chair, Liam brought out his phone and dialed Joye.At the first ring, his assistant answered the phone. “I'm on my way, Sir. It's the traffic-”“Go back to the company,” Liam instructed. “Meet the manager of the HR Department and arrange more jobs for Daryl.”The sound of Joye's car taking a reverse sounded through the phone. Then came his confused voice. “This decision is sudden, Sir. He might be inexperienced-”“Who cares?” Liam murmured. “Just do it.”The only thing Liam cared about was putting his meddling brother in his place. Daryl wasn't busy enough that was why he ha
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 105. Haley's Secret
His blood boiled and his vision saw nothing but red. Extremely enraged, he fixed the cafè with a piercing gaze that could crumble the building. What was Haley doing in this place?Who was this man?Why were they meeting secretly at this time of the day?What the hell is between them?“Mr. Nash-”“Pull over,” Liam instructed the driver.His phone kept on ringing, but he didn't care whoever it was. His mind consumed with thoughts of tearing someone apart, he wouldn't spare his time for anything else. Once the driver parked the car in a corner, Liam grabbed a magazine from the compartment and came out. He entered the cafè, hiding his face behind the magazine. On a table nearby, Haley sat across from the middle-aged man. They ordered cupcakes and coffee. Did Haley get herself a sugar daddy?Was he one of the men she got money from?The thought made Liam grip the magazine, almost crumbling it in his hands. He ordered the same thing, coffee and cupcake, perking up his ears to listen
