As soon as she heard Daniel’s voice in the lobby, she immediately left Kenneth and returned to her room as soon as possible. Once inside, she planned to take a shower, but then, Daniel suddenly entered. Fortunately, she managed to spray some perfume earlier."Hello, Baby," Daniel greeted her, attempting to kiss the inside of her cheek.Isabelle instinctively moved away from him. Kenneth and she had just made love, and she could still smell Kenneth's scent on her skin.“Hi. I’m sorry I had to excuse myself for a little bit. I feel like I needed a little nap,” she lied.“It seemed that you just woke up from your little nap, baby,” Daniel said.“That’s right. Let me take a quick shower then I will go downstairs as soon as I am done,” she told him and immediately left to go to the bathroom.Isabelle didn’t wait for his response and rushed toward the bathroom. She needed to wash away Kenneth's scent from her skin. After a quick shower, she changed into something more formal than her attire
There was nothing more to say. The affair had been discovered, and the next step was to finalize their divorce. Isabelle was not prepared to tell Daniel everything but he found out, thanks to her stupidity. After she confessed the affair with Kenneth, she thought Daniel would physically hurt her, but he didn’t. Instead, he left her alone in the room.Isabelle cried because, at one time, he was the man he loved so much, but his infidelity with other women made her into a bitter woman. Kenneth was a tool she used to avenge her broken pride and broken heart. She just didn’t expect to fall in love with Kenneth in the process.An hour later, she heard a knock. Assuming that it was Daniel, she immediately opened the door, but it was not Daniel but Kenneth. She was shocked to see him becoming bold as to visit her in the room she shared with Daniel.He appeared intoxicated, so Isabelle didn't bother expending her energy to send him away. Instead, she closed the door in his face, and the memor
Daniel had made a solemn promise to Isabelle, assuring her that they would embark on a journey to salvage their crumbling marriage. However, unbeknownst to Isabelle, the passage of time had transformed Daniel into a bitter and resentful man, harboring deep-seated animosity within his wounded heart.Despite Isabelle's valiant efforts to shield herself from the haunting presence of Kenneth, Daniel proved himself to be callous and unfeeling, relishing every opportunity to inflict guilt upon her for her past affair with Kenneth. With each passing day, he chipped away at her fragile spirit, extinguishing the flickering ember of hope that had dared to burn within her.Isabelle, burdened by the weight of her remorse and the relentless emotional torment inflicted upon her by her husband, could no longer bear the suffocating atmosphere of their loveless union. For the nth time, she asked him to just divorce her but Daniel wouldn’t allow it. In fact, he has taken precautions in order to corner
Isabelle's heart plummeted to the depths of despair when Daniel revealed the true nature of the pills he had shown to her before he was about to fuck her that night. As he extended his hand, offering her a small bottle, her eyes widened with a mix of shock and horror. The label on the bottle sent a chill down her spine—Erectile Dysfunction Medication.A surge of disbelief and revulsion coursed through Isabelle's veins. How could he stoop so low? The realization struck her with a forceful blow as if the ground beneath her feet had crumbled away, leaving her teetering on the edge of an abyss. Daniel's twisted plan unfolded before her eyes, and the pieces of his cruel puzzle fell into place. Desperation etched deep lines on Isabelle's face as she frantically tried to reach out to Daniel, to implore him to reconsider his reckless course of action."No, Daniel, you can't take those pills! It's dangerous, even life-threatening for you," she pleaded, her voice trembling with fear and urgency
Three months had slipped away, leaving Isabelle entangled in a labyrinth of irony and despair. As her laughter escaped her lips, it mingled with the bitter taste of disillusionment, echoing through the depths of her being.The delicate life growing within her womb served as a constant reminder of the tangled web of deceit and uncertainty that ensnared her. She was left questioning the very essence of her existence, and she was unable to discern the identity of the father who had planted the seed of life within her. The betrayal she had suffered.The weight of widowhood pressed down upon Isabelle's soul, and it was a relentless burden that she carried with stoic resolve. The once vibrant colors of her world had faded and were replaced by a somber palette of desolation and yearning. Each day was a painful reminder of what had been shattered and what could never be reclaimed.She yearned for a fresh beginning and a chance to rebuild the fragments of her shattered life and find solace ami
Accused of a grave act she did not commit, the weight of Isabelle's accusations crushed Sabrina's spirit, leaving her no choice but to sever the ties that once bound her to her husband, Kenneth. With a heavy heart and wounded soul, she sought solace and refuge within the comforting embrace of her loving family.Returning to the warmth of her childhood home, Sabrina found herself surrounded by the unwavering support of her parents. Their tender love and understanding arms wrapped around her, offering a sanctuary where she could begin to heal from the shattered fragments of her broken marriage.Within the familiar walls of the family abode, Sabrina found a haven where she could unburden her heart and share her deepest sorrows. Her parents, pillars of unwavering support, listened with compassion and empathy, their words of wisdom a soothing balm to her wounded soul.As Sabrina sought solace in the embrace of her family, she discovered that her closest confidante, Heather, had woven a web
The welcome party thrown in honor of Sabrina Hart's return became an extravagant affair that exceeded all expectations. The event attracted the attention of numerous media outlets, eager to document the life of Brandon Hart’s daughter. The buzz surrounding her arrival reached a fever pitch as journalists and photographers clamored to capture every moment.Among the plethora of articles and photographs that flooded the media landscape, one publication managed to capture a particularly striking image—one that would soon become the talk of the town.The photograph featured Sabrina, exuding an air of confidence and grace, standing alongside her adorable daughter, Scarlet. The enchanting duo seemed inseparable and their bond radiated from the captured moment. Then, rumors started about the identity of Scarlet’s father.In the photograph, Sabrina's eyes sparkled with a mix of pride and joy, as if all the challenges she had faced were mere stepping stones on her path to happiness. Scarlet,
After they finished eating, Sabrina bid Meghan farewell because she wanted to take a stroll. Scarlet was still asleep, and the nanny was with her to watch over the child.mc39"I'll be back soon," Sabrina promised, assuring Meghan that she would return quickly."Take your time, Sabrina. I want to sleep for a bit, even if it's just for a short while," Meghan said.Sabrina smiled and nodded because she understood Meghan's situation. She had heard about Stonewick before but she never got the chance to visit the place. Caden Lockwood was also a friend of Brandon Hart. The place was really full of surprises just like what was mentioned in the magazine.The thick clouds covered the sunlight, providing the perfect opportunity to frolic in the sea. She hugged herself as a strong and slightly cold breeze blew by the shoreline of the most famous resort in Stonewick. She felt a twinge of envy as she walked alone, without someone to hold hands with.She regretted not bringing her cell phone becau
Despite having consumed a lot, Sabrina's face still lingered in his mind. She had a strong sense of pride, so he knew how much she restrained herself from crying in front of him.During the time they spent together, he had gotten to know her well, and he was certain she was still awake. He glanced at his watch and realized it was almost midnight. Kenneth contemplated as he stared at his cellphone, wanting to call Sabrina since earlier.He wanted to seek advice from friends who had happy love lives but he hesitated. It was already late at night, so he was sure they were asleep. He had tried to convince himself several times that what he did was for the sake of both of them, but he didn't want to hurt Sabrina. When he handed her Scarlet's passbook earlier, she couldn't hide the tremor in her voice from him.Whenever he was with Sabrina, he never felt bored. There were times when she was mischievous, and there were times when she was overly serious. Despite the fluctuations in her mood,
She felt deeply hurt when Kenneth didn't even look at her before leaving without saying goodbye. Was their conversation earlier just a joke? The way he acted, it was as if they didn't even know each other. She stood up and followed him, but suddenly hesitated, so she decided to call him instead. While waiting for Kenneth to answer her call, she felt extremely nervous."So that's it then?" she asked anxiously."Yes," was the only response from him.Sabrina couldn't help but think of going back inside to bid farewell to her assistant. Didn't he know how difficult it was for her to set aside her pride? She waited for a few seconds for his response, but he just said "yes"? My god! She might turn into a criminal on Meghan's resort opening day. She hopped on her scooter and quickly started it. When she arrived home, she rushed inside. Her mother greeted her with a furrowed brow."Mom, where's Scarlet?" She should have been looking for Kenneth, but she felt embarrassed in front of her mother
Kenneth attempted to talk to Sabrina again, but she firmly rejected his plea. He had no choice but to be content with watching her from a distance. He sighed several times as he reflected on his actions towards Sabrina, wincing as he realized that it was unlikely he would be given another chance. Perhaps if he had restrained himself a few days earlier, they wouldn't have reached this point of separation."Excuse me, sir."His reflection on the past was interrupted when a woman suddenly appeared in front of him. Before acknowledging the woman, who probably just wanted to get his number, he glanced back at Sabrina and his jaw dropped when he saw her sweetly smiling at a guest."Sir, this is for you," the woman said.Kenneth accepted what the woman gave him and opened it. His forehead furrowed deeper as he read the contents of the letter, and his expression changed for a brief moment."What's this?" he asked the woman as he approached her."Don't you know how to read? It's clear what I w
TWO MONTHS LATER...It was Valentine's Day and the grand opening of Meghan's resort. The entire staff, especially those from the kitchen and reception, were busy. Meanwhile, Sabrina was sitting calmly near the main entrance of the resort. Her gift shop wasn't officially open yet because she didn't want to coincide with Meghan's opening. However, they decided to set up a small table near the entrance, and every guest of the resort would receive a little gift from her shop.Sabrina wasn't really at a loss because Meghan provided the flowers for free. It was for the resort's opening, after all. She only had to make an effort, and even the supplies came from Meghan. It was also a form of free promotion for her gift shop."Congrats, Meghan," she greeted the woman, who looked bossy in her red dress. The resort had a gold theme like her house, but Meghan chose to wear a red dress, probably to make it easier for her staff to find her."Thank you, Sabrina. Wait, something seems different about
The next morning, Margaret woke up early and approached Meghan and Sabrina. Last night, she was disturbed by their loud noise while she was sleeping. She felt compelled to go downstairs and check what was going on and why Meghan and Sabrina were making so much noise."You're acting like children!" Margaret shouted at the two girls who, if they hadn't surpassed the age on the calendar, wouldn't be so unruly."It's just a game, Mom!" Sabrina replied. "Do you want me to go crazy with sadness?""Stop talking back to me, Sabrina! What do you mean by going crazy with sadness? Fix your life, or I'll be forced to let Brandon straighten you out!""Mom, we're not children anymore for you to scold us like this. We just wanted to have fun, so we played last night. What's wrong with that?"Margaret realized that Sabrina was right. It was just a game, and she shouldn't be worried. But she had read that most people who spend too much time on online games are either bored or deeply depressed."There
Meghan had suggested before that she should try signing up for dating sites to find someone more suitable than Kenneth. She opened her Tinder account and was surprised to see that she was repeatedly asked for a password. She must have entered it incorrectly, even though she used the same password for everything.She took a deep breath before repeating the signing-up process. However, browsing through potential men near her seemed discouraging. Because within six months, she had probably tried all the dating sites and she grew tired of searching for a man who could surpass Kenneth, so she decided to go back to the files related to her business idea."Hello, Meghan," she said when the woman answered on the other line. "Don't you still have vacant space in your resort? If you haven't found a tenant yet, I'll take it. Just prepare the contract of lease and hand it over to the lawyer," she said."Are you sure about that?""Yep! After I eat, I'll go to the city hall to personally process t
Due to Kenneth's departure, Sabrina completely lost herself. She was always in a daze, and in fact, she had neglected Scarlet for several days. Perhaps if she had listened to the man, he wouldn't have left. Maybe if she had immediately believed that he didn't deceive her, their planned marriage would have pushed through."Aren't you going to stop anymore?" Margaret angrily asked Sabrina, who had been crying and worrying for several days.Sabrina burst into even louder sobs because as time went on, she missed Alexander even more. "I can't contact him anymore, Mom.""You pushed his patience to the limit, Sabrina. What if your wedding had pushed through, and you were still like this? You didn't want to listen to him," Margaret blamed Sabrina, but after a moment, she regretted it. "I'm sorry, but you have to endure the pain of losing him.""I can't live without him," Sabrina replied, wiping her tears and slowly making a decision. She would search for Kenneth and bring him to the altar, ev
Upon hearing those words from the woman, it felt like she had killed him and buried him alive. It was far from his imagination that their relationship would be destroyed. If it weren't for Isabelle meddling in his life again, Sabrina's perception of him wouldn't have changed.Kenneth assumed that Sabrina's anger towards him would only be temporary, but he didn't expect that she would also ignore him at home. She moved to a different room, and every time they crossed paths, she wouldn't acknowledge him. One morning, while he was heading to the kitchen to eat, he encountered Sabrina near the staircase, so he blocked her way."Can we talk?""Oh, so you're still here," Sabrina said flatly, and the man was clearly surprised by her words.Kenneth was taken aback by the woman's statement. What did she want him to do? Leave and abandon Scarlet? "Wherever you are, I'm there too," Kenneth said.Sabrina sighed and tried to slip past Kenneth, but when he stood his ground, she kicked his leg. "Get
After Kenneth left, Sabrina wiped away her tears. She didn't like crying in front of other people. Getting angry, yes, but crying where someone could see? She had never done that in her entire life, but earlier she struggled to hold herself back. It was difficult for her to remain brave even though she wanted to just die.As she lay on the bed, her tears continued to flow, and no matter how hard she tried to stop them, she couldn't. She wanted to sleep to forget everything, but sleep seemed elusive for Sabrina. She tried closing her eyes, but she kept seeing images of Kenneth with another woman.Even though he denied it multiple times, she still didn't believe him. It was obvious from the pictures that the two of them were happy together. Kenneth even had his arm around his mistress. He said the pictures were taken a long time ago but she didn’t believe him.If she weren't pregnant, she would have confronted the woman and dragged her on the street. The thought crossed her mind as she
