[Camari]Today was full of surprises! I'd never felt so happy and so scared at the same time. After successfully clearing Otis' name, I had to deal with the crazy woman who had her bodyguards’ pointing guns at us.Didn't she listen to Otis' report at the shareholders' meeting? The company was almost bankrupt. What did she want with the Haworth heirloom? As owners, the Haworth would have to pay for many losses with their assets. Homes, vehicles, and jewelry might have to be sold to cover the losses.Then what did she want to do with maintaining her son's position in Father's company? I couldn't understand. Haworth lost everything because of her foolish son!I thought I was going to die, so I apologized to everyone in my head. Fortunately, help came unexpectedly. I didn't care when Father met and talked with Dante. All I could think about was that our lives were intact."Thank goodness, we're all safe," I muttered in the elevator."Why do we have to go back to the office, ma'am? Mr. Hawo
The apartment lights didn't turn on automatically as they usually do when someone enters the room. But in the darkness, candles lit up the room. The candles lining the floor leading to the bedroom caught my attention.I turned to Otis. He smiled. I followed the candles' guidance to the room with the door open. The candles stopped not far from the bed. I saw a bouquet of red roses and some jewelry boxes on it."Otis, what is all this about?" I asked in confusion."I can't repay what you did yesterday with any money. So, I thought of a suitable gift for you. I know you got a lot of jewelry from Farrell, but you sold it when you divorced," he explained."I don't know what you like. But the shop assistant said this jewelry is favored by high society women. You'll be proud to wear it." He smiled.I smiled back. "You don't need to do this. I have plenty of jewelry from Father and enough to attend different events. Besides, I'm your wife. I'm obligated to help you in times of trouble."I took
[Camari]Marrying Otis was my best impulsive decision. He treated me like a queen with his sweet gesture and gave me everything I needed. I noticed my surroundings. The nursery he set up was cozy. Our son would feel right at home here.I rubbed my big belly. The child came at an unexpected time. I knew Otis was healthy, but I didn't expect my program to succeed this quickly. However, I'm happy with his arrival. I'd been looking forward to becoming a mother for a long time.Even though I had to feel the pain of morning sickness until the beginning of the second trimester, my whole body was sore and achy, and mood swings, I loved my son. I couldn't wait to meet and hug him."I knew you'd be here," Otis uttered.I lifted my head and saw him standing in the doorway. "Have you finished work?" I stood up and walked over to him."Sorry, I promised I wouldn't bring work home," he regretted."I understand. It's Haworth Inc.'s birthday soon. I'm glad everyone is enthusiastic about sharing their

[Camari]'I'm on my way home.'I smiled as I read the message from my husband. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. My blonde hair was neatly combed, and my face was clean without makeup. I wore a transparent nightgown, leaving nothing to the imagination. I couldn't afford to waste my chance tonight.I sprayed his favorite perfume on my neck and wrists. The delicate scent of red roses entered my nostrils. My cheeks flushed at the thought of our activities tonight. I chuckled, embarrassed by my wild imagination.I walked out of the walk-in closet to the bedroom and smiled at the red rose petals decorating the bed. My heart beat with happiness. Finally, after three years together, we had the perfect time for our first night.Hearing the door knock, I stood in front of it and smiled. "Come in." My heart was pounding excitedly."Good evening, Madam," the maid greeted, her eyes fixed downward. "Master awaits you in the reading room."I was disappointed to see it wasn't Farrell who knock
It was suddenly quiet on the other side, but I knew he was there and listening to me. We were still together. How dare he flaunt their relationship in public. I saw them, so I was sure our acquaintances might have witnessed the incident, too."Good, you know everything. Things will be easier now. Yes. Bella and I are getting married soon," he declared arrogantly. "We've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. So, stop ruining my plans. Sign the divorce papers and come to the court tomorrow.""Ruining your plans? Have you gone mad? You've ruined our marriage by cheating on my best friend!" I protested.He laughed. "Bella and I knew each other before we met, Camari. She was my first love, the one I wanted to marry. Listen. I never loved you."His words pierced my heart like a sharp sword. The pain made me unable to speak for a while. I even had to lean against the wall, realizing my legs failed to support my body."Y-your first love?" I stammered. "Th-then what am I?""Do you
Arriving at the hospital, I headed for the emergency room. Seeing that Mom wasn't there, I looked at my phone and found a new message from her. Dad was taken to the ICU. I rushed to meet her there. I was worried for my dad, causing my heart to beat rapidly."Camari!" called Mom frantically.I approached her and let her hug me tightly. "What happened, Mom?""The doctor said your dad had a heart attack. They've managed to help, but the critical period hasn't passed. He needs surgery immediately." She released her embrace and then looked at me with wet eyes. "Camari, the cost is huge.""What about insurance? Don't you have one?" I asked."Not with this type of surgery. I called the agent. He said they don't cover this surgery. You'd better call Farrell so he can help us," Mom urged.What surgery did Dad need that wasn't covered by health insurance? I was so angry. That insurance agent I knew well. He was so persistent in offering his product. Why would he throw up his hands when my parent
[Otis]The media massively reported Farrell's coronation as CEO of Haworth Incorporation. Relentless praise was heaped on the thirty-two-year-old man. Finally, Father could retire in peace.The big celebration was held on the third anniversary of his marriage to Camari. Father didn't hesitate to dig deep into his pockets to invite and entertain thousands of guests at a luxury hotel. I was the only one not invited.I turned off the television and walked to my bedroom. After bathing in the shower room, I headed for the sink. I climbed the small ladder provided to brush my teeth and shave. After getting dressed, I looked at my reflection in the mirror. If only I could choose the shape of my body.I looked away, unable to bear staring at myself for too long. After breakfast, I walked out of the apartment. Jasper was waiting and walked with me to the elevator. He was my driver, bodyguard, friend, and informant."Are we going to the office, sir?" he asked after buckling up."No. To my father
