In Love With You Chapter 81: Exposed (II)
On the way home, I was silent.I know that sooner or later, someone would learn my connection to the Golden Heirs and would end up knowing I am a Mackenzie. But I did not expect that I would be exposed during my first year. It was too soon.If my family learned that I am using the Mackenzie name's to get out of trouble, they would come to my door boasting. Especially Victoria.Words like 'I know you wouldn't be able to survive without the family name', or 'You are nothing without Mckenzie's surname' would surely come out of that woman's mouth.She would slap me with facts that I wouldn't be able to survive on my own and the only way for me to live was to come back to the family and follow the family's arrangement.I hated it. I have already escaped from the family's influence and living peacefully for now while they were invested in my sister. I planned to be quiet until I graduated. Once I am stable in my profession, I would change my surname and use my grandmother's surname and liv
In Love With You Chapter 82: Lit up a little
Kane and I went to school together. Although they were many eyes on me than usual, I am more at ease. Perhaps because I don't need to hide anymore. Kane and I ignored those eyes. We separated and meet again at lunch. I brought the girls with me. With more people around us at the table, we ate and converse louder, although Kane was just nodding quietly at the corner, the atmosphere was harmonious. My class ended earlier than Kane's. Since we have a deal to go home together after class, I waited for him while staying in the drawing room. The girls have something to do so they left first. We have the Still Life painting as our final exam this semester. I intended to finish it early than my classmates so I could focus on other subjects. While I was in the midst of painting, a senior knocked on the door and peek. "Goddess, someone is looking for you." "..." I am not really used to that endearment. I packed my tools and my bag. My initial thought it was Kane. But when I came out,
In Love With You Chapter 83: Sincere advice
Because of the sudden lawsuit, Kane's fans who harassed me before wanted to apologize so Kane could withdraw his lawsuit. However, Kane and I were stubborn. With the Cruz family's influence and connection, those stalkers and Michelle dropped out of school as punishment.With them out of my campus life, my school days become more peaceful. But don't look at the forum, that wall was a bit noisy and my incident hadn't calmed down there yet.I also received huge alimony from those who slander me. I gratefully accepted the money and focused on the upcoming exams.Eduardo's business trip was extended causing Layla to hang around in our team. Layla has a lot of free time on her hands, so I would bring her sometimes with me to the library while we review for the upcoming exam.The day of the exam arrived soon and ended quickly. The result was out and of course, I passed with flying colors.Layla sprawled on my bed as she cried. "I did my best. I study hard and review all the topics. Why....Wh
In Love With You Chapter 84: To figure it out
....But then, Kane turned over my expectation."You are sending her alone?!" I asked in shock as I watched Layla move her suitcase to the living room.Yesterday, after my little talk with Kane. I told Layla I won't be coming with her. Layla insisted on not going if I am not going, but I convinced her. I told her that Kane might be coming with her. After a bunch of excuses and explanations, Layla finally conceded.I really expected to see the two of them with their bags packed. But it was only Layla who came out into the living room with her suitcase.Kane leaned on the wall. He looked amused as he watched my shocked face."My mother's death anniversary is around the corner. Father usually took a vacation around this time. He planned to stay longer. So I'll be taking over his place. I'll be in the main company so I can't go overseas.""...." I was speechless.Kane chose his work over Layla?!Was he really the Kane I know?Layla put on her coat and made a beautiful turn. "How do I look
In Love With You Chapter 85: Second Threat
....Blood.There was red blood everywhere.That sticky red blood was on my seats, on the pedals, and on the steering wheel. The fishy smell was so strong that it made me nauseous.This bloody scene was hideous that I stepped back and tripped from shock.Nausea rose to my head. But fear overwhelmed me.The fear that someone could open my car so easily and pour this everywhere made me shiver.This bloody scene reminded me of the dead rabbit on our doorstep. Could it be sent by the same person?If I happen to arrive earlier, would I have met the culprit face to face?Or worst, if the culprit wanted to attack me personally, I would be harmed so easily.I could not help but shudder at that thought.I did not take a better look at what else was thrown in the car. I immediately took my phone and tremblingly dialed Kane's number.In my muddled head, Kane was the first person I could think of.Fortunately, Kane picked up the call after two rings.Before he could speak I stammered out to call
In Love With You Chapter 86: Strange Kane
The incident rattled me up and Kane's warm embrace made me almost lose strength. This made me more want to depend on him. If I don't have strong resolution and control, I might have dug up those buried feelings again and presented them to him.Fortunately, both my body and mind were tired. So I was sent to my room while he looked at me worriedly.My mind was a mess because of the culprit. I was exhausted from figuring out why it was happening to me until I fell asleep.My biological clock wakes me up in the early morning.When I went out, I saw Kane cooking breakfast.I was stunned.He didn't go to work?Kane saw me. He smiled, "I was about to wake you up. Let's have breakfast together."I went to the kitchen counter with messy hair. "You didn't go to work?""How can I go to work?" Kane muttered. He then added, "My father's assistant is capable. He could handle the company by himself. He doesn't need me.""...."Didn't he choose his important work over following Layla? He abandoned su
In Love With You Chapter 87: Result of the investigation
However, I don't know if Kane might have noticed that his words were affecting me, but he became worst.As if he were teasing me, his mouth became sweeter and his actions became even more ambiguous.For example now."Your posture is wrong. You should raise your arms more." Kane held my elbow and guided my arm to straighten up.Kane invited me to do the golden gym to do some exercises. He was a good coach and he helped me correct my posture. But...today he was standing too close!I could feel Kane's heat behind me. His warm palm that was holding my elbow slowly traveled to my wrist, making me stiffen.Kane's mellow voice sounded near my ears. It was like a sweet whisper that sent a shiver down my spine."Stretch it a bit more. Until you feel your shoulder aligning."He then helped me adjust my leg and let my knees bend at a right angle. He then moved behind me but his distance was still close to me. This posture seemed like he was hugging me.My heart thumped crazily.My back felt hot
In Love With You Chapter 88: Ambigious phase?
After the conversation, we dispersed to take a rest.I took this chance to talk alone with Layla."Let's talk." I told her and went to my room.Layla took my hint and followed me.When she closed the door, I faced her."What's with you and Eduardo?"Layla made a face. "We haven't seen each other for almost two weeks and that's the first thing you want to ask?"I remained the expression on my face. Layla darted her eyes away from me and tried to avoid the topic. "Are you sure you are alright? No nightmares?""You asked that a few days ago.""...."Layla sighed. "I wouldn't be able to dodge this interrogation?""Not a chance."Layla pouted and sat on the bed. "There's nothing going on between us.""Really? But why did I see a shy Layla? You are like a maiden in love who is around her loved one.""When did I become shy?!"I just raised my brow.Layla covered her face. "There's nothing going on. It's just that...something happened."I become alarmed."What happened?" Did Eduardo shed off

In Love With You Chapter 148: Compensated Forever
After listening for an hour, I came to believe that Kane did really visit me in those times as he told me some of the things he was concerned with. It seemed that he bottled it all up. Kane pouted, "When I came to visit you, aside from the first few times, you don't look like you missed me. You are happy with them. Especially with that person named Hugh. You are being too close to him. Are you sure he doesn't have a crush on you? Whenever your group hang out, he was always there." "Because he is part of the group. Don't worry about Hugh, I think he has a crush on Lilac." "Your dormitory friend? But they looked like they hate each other." "Didn't we also start that way?" Kane chuckled, "Right. It only changed when you played Cupid." I could not help but smile at the memory. Wait.... I slapped Kane's arm. "You are changing the topic. I am still angry at you." Although I said that, there was no really no anger in my heart anymore. I just wanted to make it difficult for Kane for
In Love With You Chapter 147: Reunion
My consciousness started to stir as I felt someone wiping my face. The wet towel then wiped my neck, arms, and hands. Although I am already aware, my body was numb and I couldn't move. I wasn't in the mood to bother about it. The one who was wiping my hands and face was so gentle in his movements, that I slowly fell to sleep afterward.The grumbling in my stomach woke me up. But the dizziness made me groan.I felt a movement beside me. That person gently brushed the hair away from my face."Dizzy?" His gentle voice was familiar but the aching in my head made me muddle-headed to think bout it further.I muttered, "Head...hurts..."That person massaged my head and spoke in a low voice, "You should drink a hang-over medicine. Here...." That person's voice was low and magnetic. It calmed my heart immediately.With my eyes closed, the man lifted me up until I was able to sit up from the bed. The man grumbled as he helped me drink, "....Paul made me drink you again, right? That man never l
In Love With You Chapter 146: Breaking of the Golden Corp
When I disappeared that year, the Cruz family suddenly break ties with the Golden Corp. Then they began attacking the Mckenzie family. There was a huge case involved regarding the murder of Mrs. Cruz. When I first heard about it, I was shocked. According to Denise, the Mckenzie family was behind the accident which caused Mrs. Cruz and the unborn child to die. I put the pieces together and understood why Uncle Tristan used such methods to threaten us. Although it was a bit unfair that I am the one receiving the scare of his threats, I still felt bad about it. It turned out that the Mckenzie was more disgusting than I thought. I don't want to admit that I came from that family. My parents were actually the person who caused so much pain to Kane's family. After knowing the truth, my anger towards Uncle Tristan and Kane dissipated a lot. I had become more obedient as a hostage which in return, Uncle Tristan gave me a bit more freedom. He allowed me to socialize here and let me meet m
In Love With You Chapter 145: Three Years Later
Three years later.... Many friends and families of the graduates came to attend the graduation. I have become one of the elite students who graduated with flying colors. I looked around the hall looking for familiar figures. "Stella Mary, congratulations." My classmate, Hugh, with a thick Russian accent, came to congratulate me. He was one of the friends I made here at the university. "Thanks, Hugh. Did your family come?" "They will arrive later. You know how my family always comes late." I laughed at Hugh's answer. "Stella Mary! Congratulations! I know you will come out on top of your course!" One of my dorm mates, Jamie, hugged me. She put the flowers she brought into my hands. "Hey, don't huggle Stella on your own. My turn." Lilac, who came after Jamie, pushed the latter away and hugged me. Jamie and Lilac were both of my dorm mates for three years. We have become friends since then. It's been three years since I stayed at the university. I did not expect I would stay
In Love With You Chapter 144: Separation
Snow was falling. As far as my eyes can see, the whole world was covered in a white blanket. Just where the heck am I? Am I in the north pole? I was unconscious the whole time. When I woke up, I was already in this small villa where snow was constantly falling. I bet I am in another country. Because there was no way it was snowing in the middle of summer. And the mountain of snow outside the window just tells me that I am in a cold country where snow was falling for a long time now. I hugged the thick overcoat and felt saddened by the fact that I am a hostage. "Young Miss. The adviser is here." Adviser? I moved my wheelchair and went to the study room. Fortunately, these people did not mistreat me even though my status was a hostage. They provided me with everything I need like food and clothing. But I couldn't get my phone or tablet back. Any kind of communication was cut off. The only people who were allowed to talk to me were these guards. Because I know that it was Uncle Tr
In Love With You Chapter 143: Murdered
Kane's eyes were bloodshot. "It is you who said to me that I should love only one woman who moved my heart. And it is Stella. I won't love anyone but her in this life. No matter if she was once a Mckenzie, I don't care. Even if you don't accept her, I will only love her. The Mckeznie? To hell with them. I don't care what you do to them. But you have to return Stella to me." Tristan's face turned dark as well. "You can love anyone but not her. She has a blood of a Mckenzie, a red-head-" "I don't care! I love her, Dad! To me, she is the woman I want to spend the rest of my life. If you can't accept that, then I won't force you. Just tell me where she is." "I can't. With her around, our fight with the Mckenzie will complicate you. You are already unstable. If she is by your side, it will affect your decision-" "I am not interested in fighting the Mckenzie. You can fight with them the way you want." "Kane...Are you saying you would rather choose that woman than our family?" Tristan
In Love With You Chapter 142: Revelation
..... "Master, I have received a call from Young Master Kane. He is on his way here." The head butler came to report to Tristan. The head butler felt uncomfortable for lying to his young master. But he couldn't disobey his Master's orders. Tristan was standing on the window looking at the bright moon above. He did not react to the head butler's report and just continue to stare at the dark sky. When the head butler thought that he would be dismissed, the man asked. "Has she arrived safely?" The head butler bowed and answered, "Yes, Master. The people there called me a few minutes ago that they have arrived at their accommodations." "How long is it until her legs will heal?" "It's about a month, Master." "Don't let her come out of that place then. Watch her closely. If she ever made contact with my son, changed the address. I don't care which country she lives." The head butler hesitated a bit. "Master...I know I am going out of line by asking this, but is it really alright
In Love With You Chapter 141: Someone High
"I don't believe it as well. So I dig deeper into this so we can prove that the Cruz empire is innocent. However...." "But what?" Kane asked in a heavy tone. "Things got more suspicious. The more I investigate the more I found their movement fit all the missing pieces in the puzzle. I think someone higher up in your company has control over all of this. " "...Send me the details." Kane was having difficulties accepting all of this. He wouldn't believe it as long as he see it with his own eyes. He could not accept that his own people would do this to the people close to him. A while later, he received an email from Eduardo. Kane printed all of them and was stunned when he read every page. If it was other people, they wouldn't be able to find out the involvement of Cruz Empire in this incident. They were meticulous enough and did not leave any traces. However, Eduardo was not an ordinary person. He has the means to dig up and his intelligence could find the minute flaws that the

They were the people who kept sending threats with fresh blood. They are the people who caused me to have an accident.Dread came to my whole being. I looked up at the thin middle-aged man with red eyes.Are they here to kill me?This was the first time I saw them in action. There was no doubt that they were here to harm me.I could not help but tear up.After battling with Mckenzie and persevering, I thought I could finally start a new life without being afraid anymore. But it looked like I could not do that anymore.I stared at the man with tears in my eyes, "Are you here to kill me then?"The thin middle-aged man just looked at me, "I want to. But if I do that, I am afraid it will drive my son insane. Like what happened to me."Huh?Son?Suddenly, the familiarity that kept nagging me found its missing piece. The deadpan face overlapped to the face of a handsome middle-aged gentleman."Uncle Tristan?" I asked in bewilderment."So you still recognize me, huh?"His words confirmed my
