William appeared just in time to catch Cecelia as she fell. The stranger’s expression shifted abruptly when he saw William, desperately trying to conceal the fear in his eyes but to no avail. “Brother…” William glared coldly at this ‘brother’. “Cyrus Sandler. Do not challenge my limits!” Cyrus was his stepbrother, the very man who saved Cecelia before. They had a complicated relationship, Cyrus and William, and the latter would do anything if it meant Cecelia would be safe from being
Though Zachary’s sentence was left unfinished, William had already gotten the gist of it. Yet… In his arms, Cecelia’s looked more nauseated by the minute, her skin paled with sickliness and discomfort. William contemplated as he watched her with a complicated look in his eyes. Unbeknownst to the thoughts in William’s head, Zachary teased, “Don’t tell me nothing’d gone between both of you yet, William. And here I thought that this tree of yours finally popped its cherries.” The fact that Wi
’It’s so painful, my whole body is in pain as if I’ve been severely injured.’ The pain was so unbearable that Cecelia’s teeth chattered and she inhaled some cold air.She rubbed her aching neck and opened her eyes.“Sigh, why do I feel so tired even in my sleep?”Cecelia mumbled as she got up from bed, not realizing something was amiss until she started looking for her clothes but could not find them anywhere. That was when she realized...‘The room is unfamiliar, the bed is unfamiliar, ever
Cecelia did not understand why was she feeling so angry. The thought of William treating another woman the way he treated her made her heart suffered as if a large boulder was stuck inside.As a regular woman, the most she could afford was to buy him some clothes. He would then do all the house chores and wash her feet for her. The woman who owns the luxury car would be able to give him more. So he would even kneel at that woman?!Imaginations of that scene appeared in Cecelia’s mind and she s
Cecelia was running very fast, and she ended up bumping into another girl who’s speed rivaled hers.“I’m sorry. It was unintentional. Are you alright?” Cecelia politely apologized.The other girl was not as good-tempered as Cecelia. Not only did she not apologize, but she also ignored Cecelia’s apology.She shot a death glare at Cecelia and chided, “You didn’t bring your eyes along when you came out this morning? Can’t you even walk properly? What a brainless lunatic!”“...”‘What’s going o
William’s dark eyes narrowed. “Who told you?”Natalie’s gaze flickered. “What do you mean who told me? Nobody. You didn’t come home for a long time, so I investigated on my own. By the way, you’re a cheeky one brother. How could you get married in a flash so secretly? I thought it was some beautiful fairy that had trapped my brother with a spell. Turns out it was just a little girl that’s younger than me!”In actual fact, William could tell who was the one that had leaked the news even though
‘Hmph. I don’t want your hand that just touched another woman to touch mine!’Cecelia marched forward. William knew that she was angry and understood that she must have misunderstood the situation. However, he had no intention of explaining himself. He followed her from behind until they reached the car that had been long waiting for them.When William saw Cecelia that was about to walk past the car, he once again grabbed her hand.Cecelia was like a cat that had been triggered as she spat, “
For the next few days, Cecelia did not see William.William merely sent her a text that he would be away on a work trip.Only then did Cecelia realize that she had no idea what William worked as in 2S?As for her job, she asked Linda about it. Linda told her that she had been hired as a clerk. Fortunately, she was the chosen lucky staff and did not have much work. She merely needed to type a few simple documents at work each day.At that time, she was only bothered about being happy and forg
