When William looked around the dining table and Juliette wasn't there, instead of being worried, he felt a strong urge to confront her. He called her twice and texted multiple times. But she was unreachable. Almost with a sour and bitter taste in his mouth, he somehow spent the party with his parents who actually pointed out how she neglected her duty as Daughter-in-law of the Fernandez family. After sending everyone away, William decided to grab some clothes from his room and now he walks in.The time has clicked on midnight, he can't stay over since Juliette will be all alone there. Hate or love, she is his responsibility, he must know his responsibility.After grabbing some comfortable clothes, he walks towards the bed to turn the table lamp off until his eyes shift on the bed. The purple-colored phone case gets his attention as well as his nerves to worry. Juliette's phone is always been here and she is nowhere to find.Checking the phone, he rushes downstairs. Didn't even bother
His eyes open when he finds the blanket over him is being pulled from behind. To ensure what is going on, he places his hand on the right side of the bed, feeling Juliette's emptiness on her side. However, his eyes slowly shift over Juliette who with closed eyes, crawls into the bed. Confused with her position, he turns to face her until he flinches when she opens her eyes." What... What the hell?" He says almost got scared of her sudden eyes open. After giving her a ten-minute cold shower, she fell asleep soundly. Since he was exhausted too, he fell asleep soon after. However seeing her staring at him like a ghost, he can't help but swallow. " Go... Go to your side!" He says trying to avert his eyes. It's awkward that her big eyes are on him without blinking.But his eyebrows raise, face expresses surprise when she moves his hand from his chest and rests her head on his chest. With a cute pout, she starts snoring softly soon after." What...?" He sighs heavily, spreading his hands
" Sign it! You are free!" Her quivering lips part away with disbelief, unable to look at the towering body that is standing before her eyes." Sign as soon as possible. Do you think you deserve someone like my brother?" " C'mon! You don't deserve anything. You should just free us from the curse. William deserves someone better, like her. An observant, talented and slim girl. Sign the divorce paper or-" She gasps waking up with sweat all over her body. She exhales, realizing what she experienced is nothing but a nightmare which is going to happen soon.When her eyes open, she smells a soft, appetizing and delicious scent coming from the kitchen. Her stomach grumbles reminding her that she hasn't had any food since yesterday afternoon. Wiping the sweat off, she sits up and gets off the bed.With slow steps, she walks out of the bedroom, finding William placing the salad on the plate while the meat stew is on the stove. They are giving away the deliciousness. After a long time, she want
The food he made is something that she ate without wasting a single grain. It's a once in millions of chance to happen even in her dream world where she is happy with him. She can't ruin, miss or skip such a chance. And thankfully, now she feels much better. Although William isn't home for some urgent matters, she waters the plants and collects some flowers for the living room. She doesn't have any idea that including Susan and her friends facing legal action for trying to hurt her and using weeds. All she knows is William has an important job to do.The evening soon falls, and the coldness increases with her temperature. She knew she would have the fever once again. Although William noticed because of last night, it's her regular occurrence. She always burns herself in a fever.Anyway, after spending the evening in the garden, enjoying the fresh air, she grabs the phone and the tray with an empty mug and heads towards the door until her eyes meet someone certain.William didn't tak
" What are you doing here?"Juliette scans her father who is standing before the door of their house. Her eyes flame up with rage but she has zero interest in showing off. She went to do groceries before coming home. So it's already late and William might have woken up already. She better make something before he gets angry with her. So, she just cuts to the chase and asks.Mr Anderson nervously looks at his daughter. His eyes are from here to there, unsettled. " It's a good morning, right? Did I come here early?" Juliette frowns narrowly before walking towards the door. Finding the door is locked, she realizes William might have gone to jog." Why are you here? How did you find this address?" She asks, grabbing the key from the mailbox where she puts the spare key." I know you are upset and... I know what we did... It's our fault. We shouldn't have neglected you and -"" What is done is done!" She speaks firmly... " You can't heal what you damaged."" Love! Listen to Dad. We are tr
The meeting will start in the afternoon. So they just check into the hotel room they booked for tonight. Right now, Juliette just comes out after having a quick shower and heads towards the mirror. Meanwhile, William who is rechecking the schedule for the meeting, looks at Juliette who is sitting on the stool before the dressing table. The droplets on her face, and the wet hair attached to her forehead, attract his attention. Unknowingly, he places the iPad on the bed, his eyes are on her, never leaving. In her towel, she looks so attractive to him, making him forget about the work he is doing. Although it didn't cross his mind that recently, he keeps losing himself in her every time she does something. All he feels is that he doesn't feel that stinging hatred inside his heart like he felt earlier in their marriage. Getting off the bed, William walks towards her silently. As she grabs the hair dryer to blow dry her hair, her eyes go to the hand which grabs the hair dryer, then to
" I have ordered the food, So please enjoy!" Taylor pushes a dish to Juliette while his eyes never leave her at all. Practically, he doesn't care about the relationship between William and Juliette." Thank you!" She smiles... " I know it's your favourite food. If we recall, my grandpa liked to catch seafood and we used to grill in our yard. Do you remember how much you liked squids?" Juliette nods, her mood is lightened up by his words. She was in heaven with her grandparents. William meanwhile is fuming and enraged. In this dinner, his existence is nothing but a mere obstacle for both of them. Juliette who used to be fully attentive to his meal, doesn't even look at him once.He grips his fork and grabs some salad from a plate across, but immediately he looks at the hand which stops him... " There is cashew in this salad. You can have mine!"Juliette exchanges their salad and starts talking to Taylor. Although their conversation is about her childhood memories she doesn't want to
" Can we meet? I will be waiting in the same restaurant!" Taylor speaks through the phone with Juliette who just woke up. They'll head back home at 10 am." Sure!" She replies, her eyes are usually blank and distant." Thanks, Juliette! I'll be there within five minutes with my lawyer so be there soon!"With Lawyer? Although she doesn't know what he wants to do with her and a lawyer, this time she wants to go against William's order to cross her line. After all, she is already a doll with strings attached. She doesn't have any way to run. But she will do anything to escape. Changing, she grabs a cab and leaves for the hotel when William is sleeping. Her exhausted heart doesn't want to get hurt anymore by asking permission from him.Anyway, soon the cab reaches the restaurant, she walks inside the restaurant where Taylor already has his seat with another man who is almost forty." Juliette! Come here. This is Lawyer Frankenstein. He was your grandparents' lawyer too!"She frowns. A l
