‘Who could it be?’ Kristel panicked.Noah had told her how good the neighborhood was, and even it was a highly secured apartment! But why did someone attack her the first day she moved in?“Hmmm! ...”She wants to scream for help. Trying to remove the hand covering her mouth, but to no avail. The man was firm. She only gets free after a few struggles, exerting all her strength, reaching the man’s face to scratch him. Wasting no time, she steps forward and reaches for the door handle. She was about to input the code, then noticed…‘It was already open!?’ Kristel screamed inwardly. The door is auto-unlocked, meaning the man who assaulted her is able to open it. ‘Why did he know the security code at my door?’She regretted not changing it right away when she moved in. Putting aside her mistake, Kristel pondered whether to enter her apartment or run toward Noah’s suite and ask for help. But the man pinned her to the wall before she could do anything.“You!” The man kicked her apartment do
It’s been half an hour, and the man hasn’t left her bedroom yet.“Such a nuisance! I need to unpack!”Kristel rose from the sofa and marched toward her bedroom, knocking on the door. When no one responded, she pressed her ear on the door and listened. But she couldn’t hear anything.She felt so ridiculous that she, the owner of this home, was kicked out of her bedroom!“Hey! Don’t tell me you plan to sleep in my house. What the heck! Go home to your own house!”She was tempted to bang the door loudly until the man inside got irritated with the noise. However, she must avoid making extreme noise, fearing that Noah will hear the happenings in her suite.Kristel is pacing back and forth in the living room when she is interrupted by the doorbell sound.“Could it be Noah? Did he hear me when I shouted?”She doubts Noah can hear that. She barely heard anything from her bedroom. Therefore, the soundproofing is excellent.Kristel strode toward the door and checked the monitor. To her surprise
She wanted to separate ways with Galvin in peace. But given Fiona’s character, she discerned it was impossible.Whereas Galvin also makes things difficult for her after he appears last night.If things keep this way, she wouldn’t be bothered in the future. No matter what happens, from here on, other things or people shouldn’t matter to her anymore.She must care about the child’s bright future in her belly, and she will take action by getting employed soon.Determined to pave her way, Kristel got up from the sofa and went to the kitchen, fixing herself a breakfast. She was grateful that Noah had lent her some of his groceries.While frying bacon, sunny-side eggs, and toasting some bread, she preheats a mug of fresh milk, then mixed vegetables and fruit salad.After eating breakfast, she lounged on her recliner chair on the balcony, leisurely browsing the internet, hoping to find exciting news about the latest fashion trend.Soon, her eyes glimmered when several wedding themes appeared
Is she still in love with Galvin?She would be lying if she said she didn’t anymore.It was the feeling that had already rooted inside her heart. However, she is taking steps to move on, and Galvin is doing that too. Meaning her love is only going to waste if she continues hoping he’d return her love.It was crystal clear that her love was unrequited.“You don’t need to answer that... I’m sorry if I am such a nosy.” Noah apologized, then attempted to change the topic.Kristel shook her head. After some thought, she meets Noah’s gaze and answers his question.“Whether I’m still in love with him or not. We’ve already ended our marriage. The two of us are free to do whatever we would like in our life.”She didn’t mention that she has no plan to start a new relationship, as she doesn’t need to declare or announce her entire life to others.Instead, she must focus on nurturing the baby in her womb and creating a name in the design industry.That was one of her initial plans. Although Galvi
KRISTEL’S POVTwo days ago, she finally received a response from L&M Co., where she submitted her drafts. Kristel makes a lot of preparations. Today, she wear a lovely dress and slip into a four-inch shoe. After wearing the four-inch high heels, her height became six feet and three inches. Then she put on her beret and placed a beige cashmere coat around her shoulders.Today is her interview with the director of the company. She looked forward to meeting her; thus, she put much effort into looking presentable in front of her boss.The moment she entered the company entrance door, the employees and clients lounging in the lobby were mesmerized by her beauty.Kristel smiled at them. With what she did, their hearts skipped a beat, and they felt their knees went weak.‘Where did this angel come from?’“Is she a model in our company?”“I’m not sure. Maybe she is, since the companies we cooperated with often sent their models to us to have their fittings or pictorials.”“She’s so pretty. Bu
PEARSON VILLAEliza and Hector were relaxing in their gazebo, sipping tea after having a delicious lunch prepared by the former, when a taxi pulled over in front of their villa.The couple heard when the gate creaked as someone opened it.“Do we have a guest today?” Hector asked his wife, and Eliza shook her head.“No. I didn’t expect anyone today, nor did anyone notify me they were coming for a visit. ”Every time her friends visited her, they would call or text her ahead of time.Then their curiosity soon answered when the head maidservant approached them, carrying a box of sweet desserts from their favorite Pastry Store.Eliza recognized the box and got excited when she had already guessed who their visitor was.Kristel appeared in their line of sight shortly after, but their daughter was on the phone. Thus, Eliza suppressed her pleasure in approaching her daughter.When Kristel hung up the call and looked at them with a sweet smile on her lips, Eliza didn’t wait for her to get clo
“That’s good, honey. You can do whatever you want. Remember that your dad and I are always supporting your decision. Although I felt sad that your marriage with Galvin didn’t go well. However, it is not worth staying in a loveless marriage.”Kristel pursed her lips into a grateful smile. She cuddled her dad and felt his fatherly warmth. She just realized that she missed her parents too much.A year ago, she was the happiest girl in the world when Galvin proposed and his parents also liked her as their daughter-in-law.Thus, she pays no heed to why she could marry their son, and her parents also knew nothing about the agreement she signed.So when she told them she was marrying Galvin because she had feelings for him, they supported her decision, even though they feared she was too young to marry. Although their parents knew each other, they didn’t see their children were actually close and going on a date.Eventually, she was now a divorcee and even got pregnant. She wondered what her
The restaurant had a luxurious ambiance with its opulent interior design. To dine there, one must have a VIP membership. As a result, everyone looked stunning in their custom-made and designer clothes.Kristel and her parents fit right in tonight. The Pearsons may not be as rich as the Hudsons, but Hector always makes sure to spoil his wife and daughter.Therefore, even if Kristel had married someone like Galvin Hudson, he would never stop his daughter from separating from him. He would not allow this man to continue hurting his daughter.Now that he divorced Kristel because of his old flame, then his daughter deserves to find new happiness for herself.“I would not stop my daughter from dating someone new. But I won’t approve of anyone marrying my daughter but then divorcing her after he realizes he doesn’t love her.”Hector’s remarks caused his daughter’s cheeks to blush, also it touched her heart.‘Thank you, Dad.’ Kristel looked at her father with such gratitude. She knew her old
