“I'm sorry, Aiden, but I can't accept it," Catherine exclaimed, making Aiden frown.
"Cath-"
I'm not a doll; I have feelings. And I don't want to live with someone who doesn't even understand their own feelings. I may love you, but I don't need your pity.
Catherine moved from her seat and stood with her back to Aiden.
Like you said, I can't sell my happiness. Then I'll do it; I want to live happily," Catherine said quietly as tears rolled down her cheeks.
She deliberately turned her back to Aiden so he wouldn't see the tears falling down her cheeks.
I've had enough pain. Don't pity me anymore," she said in a trembling voice. Catherine looked up to hold back her unshed tears.
Regarding Jasmine, even without us getting married, the two of us can take care of her together. I won't forbid you from seeing Jasmine and bringing her to stay at your place. Aiden stared pensively at Catherine's back in front of him.
"I
Today, Jasmine came home from the hospital. Aiden drove Jasmine and Catherine to Catherine's house.Handsome Uncle, Mine is happy that Uncle keeps Mine company," exclaimed Mine, who sat at the back. Meanwhile, Catherine sat in the front, side by side with Aiden. "Really? Uncle is also very happy to be with mine," said Aiden, making Jasmine smile happily.Catherine glanced through the windscreen. Jasmine's face had never been so bright and cheerful before. Aiden really had a big effect on Jasmine.Realising that, Catherine felt even more guilty for mine. She should not have let her daughter suffer for so long and hidden all this.She then glanced at Aiden, who was focused on driving. She remembers Aiden's marriage proposal that seemed forced or because of Jasmine's wishes. Her heart ached, remembering that.Was she wrong to just want her love to be reciprocated and not pity? Why was it so hard to do that?Catherine sighed
Aiden took another sip of the drink in his glass, no matter how many glasses there were.The memories of Catherine and her words kept ringing in his head like a hammer that kept hitting his head and chest. It was so tight that he hit his chest repeatedly, which was very painful and tight. 'What have I done all this time? Why was I so stupid? Aiden thought to himself. 'I love her already, but this fear is holding me back.' 'I love Catherine...Shit!" cursed Aiden, taking another sip of his drink. His face was flushed, and he was already drunk. It felt like he wanted to let the liquid he was drinking burn his chest and himself.It was because of his stupidity that he realized one thing too late. And because of his deep sense of trauma, he continued to hurt the woman he loved.He was afraid of being hurt again, but instead he hurt others.Aiden remembered Evelyn's words about how he was the one who could
Aiden was now standing in front of Evelyn's apartment door. He pressed the room's bell.Soon the door opened and revealed Evelyn, who looked like she was getting ready for work."Aiden? What's wrong?" asked Eve, a little surprised to see Aiden in front of her."Eve, is Catherine with you? Aiden was to the point."Catherine? No! she exclaimed. "Maybe Catherine's at her house," Eve said."I was just at her house. And mine says Catherine hasn't been home since yesterday," she said."That's unusual. Did you guys fight again? Evelyn asked, making Aiden pensive."Maybe she's angry and upset with me. I was stupid and hurt her," Aiden sighed."When are you going to get along and be together? Eve said."I realised that I already loved her. Maybe it's been a long time," Aiden said, making Evelyn look at him with a hurt look. But she tried to suppress her own feelings."I'm sorry, Eve. I-""It's okay, Aiden. Evelyn lo
Aiden stood on the bridge, where he usually kept himself calm. The snow still faithfully rained down on the city of New York. The cold air pierced his bones and joints. But it had no effect on Aiden."Where are you, Cath? Aiden murmured, staring ahead.He could feel it now—the tightness of loss. The tightness of being left behind and the tightness of this longingA thousand times, he told himself that he had locked himself in those shackles.Evelyn was right. Catherine and Agneta were different, but it was clear that Catherine loved her. Whereas Agneta-?Even Aiden himself couldn't answer that. Agneta chose to be with him out of reciprocity, nothing more than that.How pathetic Aiden was. He couldn't even tell the difference between genuine love and reciprocation.Aiden let out a long breath as he rubbed his face, which felt cold and seemed to be frozen. He closed his eyes and felt the cold snow touch his face.He opened
Soon their car entered the mountainous area, and it looked deserted, and the roads were so rocky.Ah, damn that, Robert. He brought Catherine here! Aiden shouted, clenching his fists. He felt like he wanted to immediately punch Robert's face to pieces."We'll park the car here. It's still quite far from here. But if we use our car, we'll raise their suspicions," Harry's men shouted.They all got out of the car and walked on foot without leaving any traces or arousing suspicion.---After traveling quite far. They saw a large building. More precisely, a building for the manufacture of something And seen a few people guarding outside the building."What now?" Aiden asked."We'll keep an eye out here first. Some of my men will be barging in on every side," Harry explained."By the way, can you defend yourself?" asked Harry, looking at Aiden."Are you underestimating me?" cried Aiden, looking annoyed that Harry had underesti
A doctor is attending to Catherine. Aiden was standing outside the emergency room. With the assistance of the police, Harry was tracing Robert's whereabouts and securing the animals that Robert had captured.Aiden was seen sitting in a chair on the side of the door to the room. His gaze wandered forward. Fragments of the events of a few hours ago flashed through his head again. When Catherine protects herself and sacrifices her own life.I love you, Aiden.Those words rang in Aiden's ears and felt so suffocating."You need to get back to health, Cat." Aiden muttered, rubbing his face angrily.Not long after, a doctor came out of the examination room. He asked Aiden to follow him to his room."How is Catherine? Aiden asked when he sat in the chair opposite the doctor.Aiden looked so worried, and there was fear in his sharp eyes. The doctor seemed to take a deep breath as he adjusted the position of the glasses he was wearing."How?" Aiden asked very quietly. "He's fine, isn't he?""Mi
Snow is still falling faithfully in the city of New York.The cold air is so piercing to the skin. Someone seemed to be staring out the window. Staring at the snowflakes falling down. His gaze was blank."The air is very cold! shouted someone putting a coat on the body of a person sitting in a wheelchair.That person was Catherine, who sat quietly without saying much in the wheelchair. When he wakes up, he must recognize the fact that he is paralyzed. The second time, he could not move. According to the doctor, this will not last long. Catherine just needs regular therapy."Thank you," said Catherine to someone who was none other than Aiden.Currently, Catherine is still being treated in the hospital. And Aiden faithfully accompanies him. But after realizing this, Catherine didn't say much and chose to remain silent."You need anything? Aiden asked."No."Aiden was used to getting cold and flat calls from Catherine, but he didn't leave her. In fact, he still paid attention to Catherine
Catherine is seen working with her laptop on the gurney. Aiden was still sitting and watching her. Actually, Catherine had finished her work, which was just checking some reports. But he felt nervous and awkward being stared at like that by Aiden. Feeling embarrassed, Catherine finally looked at Aiden."Do you really have nothing to do? Why are you still here?" cried Catherine."What's wrong if I'm here? You yourself know that I'm no longer working," Aiden said casually.Aiden was used to being kicked out of Catherine's house. This isn't the first time."Then do whatever you want; why do you have to stay here all the time?" said Catherine."Because I have activities here. It's different when I sleep in the apartment. So it's better to be here, right? Besides, if I'm not here, who do you want to be with? Aiden exclaimed."I'm used to being alone.""Really. Then why, yesterday, when I went to see Mine, you were at a loss and contacted E
Renata anxiously awaited the man, who the doctor was treating separately. After waiting a few minutes, he came out with the doctor and saw his jacket tucked in his arm, with his left arm bandaged."It's finished?" she asked."Already. Just being fried is not a serious wound. Next time, be careful. There are a lot of thieves around," he said."Thank you very much, Master.""Bastian," he said."Oh yes, Mr. Bastian. I am Renata, and this is my sister-in-law," said Renata."Angela," said Angela, shaking hands with Bastian."You already helped me earlier; how can I repay your help?" she asked."If we meet again, I will collect it," said Bastian, showing his charming smile."I must leave immediately."Renata wanted to speak again, but Bastian had already left the place."Ah, why did he leave so quickly, even though I haven't gotten his cellphone number yet?" Renata said it with a red face."You like it?" asked Angela, who had only been paying attention."His face is handsome, and the look i
Regan, Angela, and Renata have arrived in Denpasar, Bali. They were picked up by someone who brought them to a pavilion near Seminyak Bali Beach in Badung."Wow!" Angela exclaimed, seeing the pavilion close to the beach. So luxurious. Several maids greeted their arrival and immediately carried their cases."Well, how are you, my nephew?" That exclamation made Regan, Angela, and Renata look at the source of the sound. There were several people following a middle-aged man with glasses on his nose."Uncle Key," Regan said, shaking hands with the man who was Davero's father's confidant. "How are you, Roy?""Tsk, thanks to Bang Regan, I'm not doing my course work and overtime," Roy replied, making Regan smile a little.Roy is the son of Key, and he is a very reliable hacker. Even though he is still 20 years old and is currently completing his studies at a university in Bali,."Uncle twins. Where's Uncle Kay?" Renata asked, shaking the man."He's on business. It will come later," said Key.
Angela went down the stairs. When he woke up, Regan was not there beside him. Angela walked towards the kitchen, where Agneta was busy cooking with the household assistant there."Are you awake, son?" asked Agneta with a motherly smile."Yes Bun. Erm, did you see Regan?" she asked."He's jogging, usually to the upper area," explained Agneta, making Angela nod in understanding."Sit down. Mother will make hot tea for you," said Agneta.Ah, no need to bother, Bun.""It does not matter. Sit down," said Agneta, and Angela could only obey while playing on her cellphone, where she was chatting with Rita."Drink," said Agneta, who now took a seat opposite Angela."Thank you, Bun.""Equally love. How was your sleep? rest well?"Yes, Bun, it's quite cool and comfortable here," said Angela."I'm grateful.""Emm Renata is not visible. Is he out?" she asked."Yes. Today is his first day doing COAS," explained Agneta.Oh, Renata is doing koas here." Angela thought she'd be doing koas in London bec
Angela nodded in understanding. Angela only got to know the Regan family when they got married. Aunt Devara is the twin of Regan's father, Davero. Dan Devara is the mother of Calvin, who serves as GM at Regan's company.The car stopped in front of the villa's courtyard, where everyone welcomed them.Angela and Regan both got out of the car."Sis Angela…" Renata first hugged Angela very happily.Then Angela shook hands and hugged Agneta and Devara. Angela shook hands with Dave and also with Kevin, who is Devara's husband.They immediately invited Angela to enter the villa and escorted them both to Regan's room."This is your room," Angela said, looking around. There was a window made of glass, and inside was a miniature Batman with various poses."You like Batman?" asked Angela, approaching the window."Yes, since I was little, I liked to collect them," said Regan, who walked over to Angela and hugged her from behind. Regan kissed Angela's long neck in front of him."Regan…""I missed
Angela was enjoying soaking in soapy water and a massage with aromatherapy in the Jacuzzi. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the treatment.He gasped in surprise when someone joined him. Angela opened her eyes, and her gaze immediately met the sharp eyes of someone who was in front of her at close range."You're not asking me," he said, making Angela smile."You're sleeping," Angela said.Regan kissed Angela on the lips and took a seat beside her. He brought Angela to sit in front of him and let him rest her head on his broad chest. They enjoyed being together by playing with the soap bubbles that filled the Jacuzzi.Neither of them spoke; they both enjoyed each other's company.***Regan and Angela welcomed Ansel there with his colleagues by helicopter."Wow, the faces of the newlyweds are so bright," teased Ansel, who was now standing in front of Regan, who was embracing Angela casually."You really suck at the little cat's juices. So many red marks," he teased when he saw Angela's nec
Regan called someone. Through his cell phone. The body and the bomb had been wrapped in a large plastic bag and kept outside the house.Angela brought a cup of coffee for Regan and kept it on the table."Hello Roy.""….""I have a job for you.""….""Hack again, a subsidiary of Maettheree; lower the share price; let it drop," Regan said with a grin."….""Just do it."Regan hung up on him. Angela was still staring at Regan in confusion."Why?" Regan asked, raising an eyebrow."You want to destroy someone's company?" asked Angela, quite surprised, and Regan just chuckled."This is a new subsidiary company. At least a few million dollars in loss," Regan answered lightly."That's not bad," Angela said, making Regan chuckle again."That's payback for him, who has disturbed our honeymoon. Come sit down; let's watch an exciting show," Regan said, patting the sofa beside him.Angela took a seat beside Regan. They both looked at the laptop screen in front of them."Gosh, there are so many peo
BritainBenneit was reading some of the reports that Aluna had given him at the office. Soon there was a knock on the door."Enter…"Gilberd appeared there. Seeing Gilberd's presence, Aluna said goodbye and left Benneit's room."What is it?" asked Benneit as Gilberd took a seat across from Benneit."I've managed to find out who Fergus's supporters are," Gilberd said, and Benneit listened seriously."This really can't be taken lightly.""Who?""Mr. Julian from Switzerland." Benneit fell silent after hearing Gilberd's narrative. Mr. Julian is a big beacon for Britain and a big competitor for Gonemanus. Julian was no one else either; the man was Benneit and Dave's college friend. Something happened in the past between his family and the Wiratama family."Ben-?""Send some guards to the island where Regan and Angela are on their honeymoon. I'm afraid Julian will send assassins to their place," Benneit said, to which Gilberd nodded."I have to tell Dave.""So far, I haven't seen any movem
After breakfast, Angela ran to Regan, who was on the beach."I'm ready," Angela said, making Regan turn around, and he was quite surprised to see Angela wearing a sexy bikini with a thin cloth tied around her waist."Where are you going wearing clothes like that?" Regan asked, looking at his wife, who looked seductive. Black glasses perched on her head, and her hair was in beautiful, loose waves."I want to swim, like you promised yesterday. Today we didn't swim because it was fun playing on a speed boat," said Angela, turning her face red."Are there no other clothes?" she asked."Come on, Regan. At first, I didn't want to wear a swim suit.""What?" Regan looked irritated."He he… I knew you would be furious; that's why I put on this bikini. After all, it's just the two of us on this island.""Okay. I'll let you this time," Regan said, making Angela nod happily.They boarded the speed boat, and Regan returned to driving it."Regan, I want to ride it," Angela said.Regan pulled Angela
That morning, Angela woke up first and left Regan, who was still asleep. He plans to cook breakfast for both of them. Angela turned on music from her cell phone and started preparing all the ingredients to make breakfast. He also took out flour to make bread.Angela started working on it and got flour stuck to her cheeks. Somehow it stuck to her face, maybe because Angela was too passionate about cooking.Regan came out of the room wearing only boxer shorts and shirtless. He saw his wife so engrossed in dancing and singing along with the song. Regan smiled at Angela's adorable behavior. Angela is seen wearing Regan's oversized white shirt, where the arms are folded up to the elbows. Her long hair was rolled up to reveal her slender neck.Angela was seen mixing the dough in a fairly large place. He squealed in surprise when strong hands hugged him from behind and joined in stirring the dough with sensual movements as if to provoke Angela."Already up?" she asked."Hmmm…" Regan snorted
