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 89: Do you want me to see kissing her?
There was a moment of silence in the car."So she did." Eduardo said after a while with a firm tone."..."How could he able to tell that with only a bit of silence from me?"What else did she say?" He asked.Why would I tell you?I controlled my expression and lied, "She did not tell me anything. This is the first time I heard that." I should not give him a heads-up or any sort of help.If Eduardo learned that Layla talked about that kiss with me and learned of her response, it would give huge confidence to Eduardo.So I shouldn't tell him anything.Eduardo laughed. But his laughter was cold, a bit sarcastic."I don't understand why you hate me."My heart skipped a beat. Did he notice something?"I don't hate you." "You dislike me." Eduardo corrected his words. "Why are you betting on Kane, not me? Isn't it because you dislike me?"As expected, he already noticed it.Eduardo was being straightforward. He wanted to get an answer from me.After all, as Layla's best friend I could also
In Love With You Chapter 90: Which Kane
***I could tell that Kane was angry with me since then. But he did not stop cooking breakfast for me or sending me to school. He just...did not talk to me unless it was necessary.This cold shoulder was making me uncomfortable and uneasy.I really don't understand why he was angry. Was it because I become noisy and interfered in his matters again?But I was giving him honest advice. Because anytime, Eduardo would fully trap Layla in his claws. And I am afraid he would never let her go.I gave him my concern despite saying things I don't really want to explicitly say. So why he should be angry at me?During this cold war, I attended school and work on comics at the same time while wondering about that question from time to time. I finished the draft of the first five chapters of Wayne's comics. When the weekend comes, I made an appointment with Wayne. But the problem was, who to bring with me.The last incident taught me a lesson to never bring down my guard. I should not be alone d
In Love With You Chapter 91: Did what asked
The two also saw us. Layla's eyes turned wide. She immediately hid the basket she was holding. "...."It's too late though. I saw it was full of art tools.But what does she need it for?"....You guys here?" Layla asked an obvious question. She also seemed to realize she asked something dumb so she changed her words, trying to explain. "My job is needing me to buy some art tools." She explained even though I am not asking yet.I glanced at Eduardo whose face was calm. The boss was standing beside her, what kind of job was she making up now?"I see. I am buying tools too. Are you guys about to leave?" I just let it go.Layla sighed in relief that I did not insist on exposing her lies. "We are done. But we can wait for you guys."This was good news. I don't need to bother Kane to wait for me anymore. I turned to Kane. "I'll be with Layla and Eduardo. If you have something to do, you can leave now.""I don't have anything to do."Did he wish to accompany us?Then leaned down on me and
In Love With You Chapter 92: Drunk talk
Did what I ask for?My heart skipped a beat.What does he mean by that?An image of him hugging and kissing Layla came to mind.Did he really do that?!I looked at the text message. My blood turned cold.I told him to use a distraction that was equivalent to what was keeping Layla's mind to Eduardo. And that was to be intimate with Layla.But did Kane really do that?My fingers shook as I thought of the possibility that Kane and Layla were intimate now. A lot of images came into my mind that was so painful and hurtful for me to see.I took the glass that was intended for Paul to drink and drank it in one go.I felt the alcohol burn my throat and my stomach. But I couldn't care less. I wanted to numb myself and stop thinking about those images.This was what I suggested to him after all. I know that I would be bitter about it but I still chose to tell him.I am the one who caused this. I am the one who pushed him for it.The girls and Paul were shocked that I drank alcohol one after an
In Love With You Chapter 93: Happy or Disappointed
My alarm went off and the heaviness in my head worsened. I woke up feeling groggy and thirsty. I flail my arms around until I reached my phone. After I turned off the alarm, I tried to sit up but my head hurt so much and my body was heavy. My throat burned and I feel like vomiting. Enduring this nauseating feeling, I stand up to get some water. However, I stopped when I saw a glass of water on my bedside table.Without thinking much, I drank it.When the water quenched my thirst, I wondered if Layla had left this for me.Does she know that I drank myself to death?I don't remember putting water on my bedside table. Yesterday, I drank a whole bunch and--My eyes suddenly went wide.Suddenly, memories of the night came to my mind.I was bawling my eyes out as I drank alcohol like water. Then without any filter, I poured out my feelings and vent my frustration while badmouthing Kane.I covered my mouth in shock when I realized that I have said out loud the feelings that I never dared to

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
In Love With You Chapter 140: Culprit
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
