“Yes, I did. I will pick it up later.” Kristel replied in a low voice.

Galvin darkened his face when he sensed Kristel’s dismissal tone. She sounded uninterested in furthering their conversation; thus, he threw his cutlery on the plate and got up sulkily.

Kristel ignored Galvin’s coldness, and she continued eating quietly. She thought Galvin had already left, but he walked up to her and said,

“I’ll pick you up in the store. I have an urgent meeting at the company.”

“Okay.”

She didn’t look up to meet his gaze; thus, his already foul mood had become graver, and his soreness was vented to the poor employees of Hudson Enterprises.

Cory was at wit’s end whenever the boss bellowed when someone entered his office to submit a proposal. He felt sorry for everyone, including himself. He reflected,

‘This has happened rarely in the past. But recently, the company has become the devil’s lair! The boss suddenly seemed like an awakened demon!’

The morning went by quickly.

Kristel waited at the store

    “Fiona, who’s that woman besides my cousin? I have never seen her before,” asked Mitch curiously. Her gaze lingers on Kristel, sizing her up from head to toe.Fiona’s gaze narrowed, casting a sidelong glance across the hall. She then replied to Mitch’s question. “Her name is Kristel Pearson. Haven’t you heard of her?”Mitch shook her head, then said honestly. “If she were from the upper class, I would have known, but I don’t remember her.”Fiona was elated to learn that not all Hudson family members knew about Galvin’s marriage to Kristel.This brought absolute joy to her heart. She mused, ‘I knew it! I’m still the only woman Galvin loves.’Fiona took this opportunity to slander Kristel. She has been raking her head, planning how she could blame the latter.Fiona adjusted her facial expression. She pretended as if she was aggrieved. She lowered her head and then squeezed some tears.Mitch noticed the changes in Fiona’s countenance. Sadness exhibited in her eyes as if she was in pain.

    Kristel was standing near the giant tower flower decorations in the back, and she would have to pass Mitch to leave since he was blocking her way out.“Excuse me.” She excuses herself and walks past the person to avoid unnecessary incidents.Mitch, however, spun around and caused their bodies to collide.Accident ensued. Mitch’s wine poured into Kristel’s dress. The deep red hue of the spilled wine instantaneously marred the pristine white fabric of her gown.“Oh, my god! I’m sorry, Miss... Let me help you clean your dress.”“There’s no need.” Kristel rejected her offer immediately and was ready to leave the scene. But Michelle holds her elbow, stopping her.“No! I will feel bad if I don’t take responsibility for staining your dress. My name is Michelle, by the way. I’m Galvin’s cousin, so I know the rooms in this mansion. I’ll accompany you to the washroom.”Kristel has spent considerable time exploring this mansion alongside Gloria, so she’s pretty familiar with it, too. She wanted

    It was excruciating. She buried her fingers in her upper arms, hoping it would give her enough warmth to stay conscious.The chill seeping into her bones that causes her body to shudder uncontrollably is nothing compared to the searing pain creeping into her heart as it crumbles her world.Galvin, displaying his affection for Fiona by using his body as a shield, is like a hundred daggers digging deep into her chest.Kristel lowered her head and stifled her sobs. She was already looking pitiful after she was pushed into the pool. Therefore, she would not let this incident make her look pathetic, being abandoned by a husband for an old flame.“You are asking me what’s the matter?”Kristel was about to turn around to leave the hall when Gloria’s thunderous roar echoed throughout the four corners. She raised her head and stared at the older lady adoringly. She could see that Gloria was too angry at how her face turned crimson red.In the past year, she never felt wrong when she was not in

    Kristel was somewhat surprised. She didn’t expect Galvin to stay. Also, there is a set of clean pajamas in his hand. Hence, she thought Galvin had left to coax Fiona after what had happened in the ballroom hall.With Fiona’s temperament, Kristel could picture her face seething with anger after receiving criticism at the party. The former has been behaving like the legal missus, and the disclosure of her identity tonight greatly impacted the former’s pride. It was like she was slapped on both sides of her face.“You’re still here?” Kristel isn’t sure if she must ask Galvin this question. The latter instantly frowned.“Where should I be?”Kristel didn’t retort. She doesn’t want to engage in another childish argument with Galvin. Ever since they agreed to the divorce—the peaceful contract marriage becomes chaotic, and their communication skills turn into a farce.“Give me the clothes. I’ll get dressed here.” Kristel tried to hide behind the door, but Galvin put in some strength, pushing

    Kristel followed Galvin’s line of sight. A fluttering emotion flashed in her eyes upon seeing Fiona standing behind Katherine. Tears welled in her eyes as if she had caught her husband red-handed for cheating.‘What is she up to?’ Kristel was impressed by Fiona’s thick face in hanging out in the mansion after the humiliation she experienced in the ballroom. She wondered why nobody made her leave, although Gloria held animosity towards her.Anyway, she shouldn’t be surprised. Everyone probably regards Fiona on behalf of Galvin because he was the next head of the family once both the elder Hudsons left this world.Then, no one will prevent him from marrying Fiona. Once he marries her, Fiona’s status can no longer be questioned.Kristel felt sad at this thought. Heartbroken that tonight was the last night she created memories with Galvin, she pulled the bedsheet and wrapped her body with it. She went to the bathroom and washed up.Galvin was no longer in the bedroom when she got out. ‘Pr

    Kristel followed the voice that called out her name. Soon, a dazzling red Ferrari stopped before her, and a handsome driver spoke.“Do you want to follow them?”Kristel was hesitant about whether she would accept the offer.Catching the reluctance in her eyes, the man smiled and persuaded her. “Don’t worry. I’m going there to visit my parents. So we have the same destination.”Just then, Kristel remembered who the man was. He was Dave, one of Galvin’s best friends, whose real estate industry known him as Director David Claymore.Just recently, he had phoned her to pick up the drunk Galvin at the Bar, and he indeed mentioned the accident his parents had encountered.Since they were going to the same place, Kristel opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. After she buckled up, Dave drove the car out of the Hudson mansion.As Dave drove to the hospital, he kept looking at his passenger. He had come across the rumors online and felt empathy toward Kristel.Galvin knew Kristel ha

    Seeing how Kristel cried, Gloria squeezed the former’s hand.“Kristel, this is all my fault. I should not have forced my grandson to marry you just because I like you so much. I did hope Galvin would forget that bitch and fall in love with you. But my grandson is too blind!”Kristel, flabbergasted, stared at the older lady, not knowing if she should laugh or cry. She sniffed, wiping her eyes dry, saying, “Grandma, please don’t stress yourself because of us, okay? Galvin and I were both adults. We will end things in peace.”Gloria felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this. She asked, “Are you not happy staying with him? This is only a minor incident. I believe it is only a misunderstanding. If you talk this over, maybe the two of you don’t need to get a divorce.”Kristel beheld the older lady with a warm look. “Grandma, to be honest, it would not make me and Galvin happy to remain married when his heart doesn’t belong to me….”Gloria understood what Kristel wanted to convey.

    Galvin remained motionless before the elevator, although its doors had already shut. Kristel had left long ago, but her scornful voice still echoed in his ears, bringing discomfort to his heart.“Mr. Hudson, please be reminded that most of those images posted online were the private property of Hudson Enterprise. They were records and proof of your negotiations with them. From what I am seeing, you must hold a meeting with your IT team and discuss why someone released those photos, which were edited to use for malicious reasons. Should you give them an earful scolding for not giving you a satisfying job of providing you with the best security system in your company? It looks like you better improve your system or hire new ones!”Galvin clenched his jaw, and his gray eyes narrowed when Kristel pursed her lips and tugged the corner. Those red lips are always inviting him to claim them.The atmosphere is tense. He swallowed, then averted his eyes, pretending something caught his attentio

    Three days later…“Kristel—”“Leila? Is that you?”“Yes, Kristel. How do you feel?”“Why are you here?” She’s trying to figure out where she is.“Silly. I am not just a doctor. I was your best friend and your child’s godmother!”“So we are, too!”At the door, her two friends named Lorraine entered the ward and rushed toward her, circling her bed.“Then my baby was alive.” Kristel caresses her belly. She was relieved that her child was safe. She stifled, then said, “You guys... Am I back in Brooke City now?”“I haven’t permitted you to travel home yet. You need a few more days of rest. Otherwise, you might have a sign of miscarriage.”“Oh, then I’m still in Paris… How about the competition? How many days have I been in a coma?” Kristel looked around. She

    “What do you mean by that?” asked Fiona. “Wait, you are…”Fiona hadn’t recognized Henri because he always wore glasses and a black wig when he appeared to the public. But around Kristel, he hides nothing; instead, he casually shows his appearance.“I have long known that you were my cousin’s puppet,” said Henri. “It appears you had no idea of my family’s conflict.”“I don’t care! That doesn’t matter anymore.”Fiona is stubborn. Henri could see that.“You should be careful what you wish for, Fiona.” He grinned, then his smile disappeared as he added, “My patience with you is wearing thin.”Fiona is such a wicked woman. She had done so many tricks to frame Kristel. Fiona would have succeeded if he hadn’t assigned someone to watch over her. And he hates Galvin for how dumb he is. He never approves of him as Kristel&rsqu

    “Don’t move! Stay where you are!” the man warned when Henri took a few steps closer. “I said do not move!”The man spoke in a foreign language. But Henri didn’t listen to him. He could understand him and spoke the same language.“Dare to shoot me?” Henri challenges him. Thus, the man was forced to pull the trigger and make a warning shot. He aimed the gun at the ground.Kristel sank her body and hid behind Galvin when the loud bang from a handgun echoed. She subconsciously placed her arms around her belly—her way of protecting the child in her womb.The man couldn’t dare to aim the handgun at Henri.“Mr. Laurent, please move aside.”“My cousin sent you here, right?”“Sir, you don’t want to be involved in this incident.”Henri sneers. “You almost killed me!”“Sir, we didn’t know you were here as we

    Kristel cannot jump from the second floor down to the first floor. She would not think twice about doing that if she weren’t pregnant. However, she doesn’t want to harm the fetus in her belly.“Henri, I won’t jump!”“Don’t worry, Kristel. We don’t need to do that.”“But who are we supposed to get down—” Kristel coughed after inhaling the smoke from the door. The fire is slowly coming into the bedroom. Seeing this, Kristel was in fright. “Henri!”“Calm down, Kristel, and just cover your nose, okay? I’ll go down first, then jump when I’m on the ground.”“What?”“I’ll catch you.”“No!” She doubted Henri’s strength. Although he is pretty fit for a designer, she worries she is too heavy now. It will be difficult for Henri to keep her from the ground.“Trust me, Kristel!&rdq

    Somewhere in the province of France…The following day, Kristel worked on her entry. She finished drafting her designs; now, she is sewing the white gown.It didn’t take long for her to finish working on the upper dress. She followed to work on the skirt using floral embroidery lace fabric when a car pulled over at the entrance.Kristel took only a little care of who it was. She need not be concerned if it was the chauffeur Galvin sent for her. The chauffeur can wait until she finishes and returns to Paris.She was immersed in drafting the veil, inspired by the flowers and leaves she picked out in the meadow. Hence, she didn’t hear the door creak when someone pushed it open.“Hello, Miss Pearson.”Kristel looked up and distinguished the person who came into her bedroom.“You are…” Her eyes widened upon recognizing the man. “Mr. Laurent!”“I’m here not to

    Fiona’s mouth agape. For a moment, she stared at her phone screen blankly. She already posted the photos she snapped of her and Galvin. Thus, she was debating whether to delete it before everyone saw it.But with the wicked thought brewing in her head, she just let it become public, hoping it would reach Kristel; thus, she would think Galvin chose her.Therefore, she must stop the illusion of getting back together with him.“Galvin...”“I said I am driving Fiona.”There’s firmness in his voice this time. Fiona’s persistence somehow disgusts him.On the contrary, it didn’t make Fiona happy when he kept rejecting her attempts to seduce him. Even so, the woman fails to notice his disgust.“You can continue driving while I can give you a head... How’s that?”Fiona smiled sweetly, ignoring the warning in Galvin’s tone.Galvin, on the other hand, felt disg

    “Galvin, what is the meaning of this?”The person, none other than Fiona, asked with tears in her eyes and an accusing tone. Galvin was taken aback for a moment but then heaved a long sigh.Kristel, who heard this, looked at the man with anticipation of his reply to Fiona. She tried to read the emotion flashing in his eyes but could not fathom it.She honestly hoped that Galvin would choose her. She still has this stupid desire in her heart, thinking she can love Galvin more than Fiona, who does nothing but betray him.Fiona has never been faithful to Galvin. All Fiona did is to become the center of attention. And because she is the most popular girl in the Academy, it is a man’s pride to have such a girl by his side, and Galvin is the most outstanding male student in that same school.Everyone would tell them how perfect a couple they were and the two were a match made in heaven.Every male and female had that jealousy in

    Kristel placed her hand on Galvin’s broad chest, pushing him to no avail.Instead, Galvin gathered her wrists and pinned them above her head. He used his body to prevent her from struggling. Despite the difference in their strength, Kristel put up a fight. However, he didn’t let her free from his grasp.“Galvin!” Kristel screamed. Feeling conflicted, she couldn’t control the beat in her heart when Galvin’s lips brushed her ear and the side of her face while his hands explored her body. “What are you doing? Let me go! Hmmm…”All the words that formed in her tongue could not be expressed but disappeared without a trace under his passionate kiss.His lips are like wine, intoxicating and addicting, while he thinks of hers like honey: sweet and delicious.
