Rowena's suggestion had Randall thinking. Two hours passed, and he had finished a whole pack of cigarettes.

It had happened before. Rowena had sacrificed her marriage for Johnny. Four years later, Rowena was pimping herself out for him. She asked for a divorce in a month. It seemed that she could not wait to leave Randall.

Recalling his past, Randall clenched his fists and slammed them into his shower mirror.

Half an hour later, he walked up to Rowena's room. He stood at her door, ready to knock, but the door creaked open just as he lifted his hand.

'She knew I would come.'

He pushed the door open to see Rowena sitting on the bed, reading.

Rowena was wearing a light blue dressing gown with her hair down, looking as if she had just showered not too long ago. Randall could smell the tantalizing scents of her shampoo and shower gel.

His dream of four years was about to come true.

He sat down on the bed and reached for Rowena's hand, but she avoided him under the guise of putting her boo

    Yaacob went for a drink with Randall after dropping Nancy off at university.Yaacob knew that Randall was in a bad mood since he was drinking at that time of day. He put his work aside to keep Randall company. "What is it? You shouldn't feel like this after last night," Yaacob said.Randall put down his glass and looked at his friend. "You know about what happened between me and Rowena last night?""I guessed. There was only one way you would let Johnny go."It annoyed Randall that Yaacob was right.Fortunately, Yaacob and Randall were best friends. Otherwise, Randall would have kept an eye on Yaacob due to his ability to anticipate Randall's emotions. Randall did not hide anything from Yaacob because of their friendship."There's also something else. She wants to divorce me in a month.""Well, that's not so bad. I suppose you would rather spend the last month being intimate with her than have her keep you at arm's length forever." Yaacob saw the bright side of things and tried to com

    Xander motioned for Anna to join him. "Come here. Why are you hiding behind her? Have you two been making secret plans in the washroom?"Anna was startled by Xander's look; she could not stop shaking her head. "No. No secrets."Nancy almost rolled her eyes. 'Didn't I tell her to hide her feelings? She must not have heard me. Or maybe she did hear me, but her lousy brain can't keep up.'Fortunately, Xander never paid much attention to Anna. He could not care less about her, even if he noticed that something was wrong.Anna, on the other hand, was behaving like an unhappy wife who had just been scolded by her husband. She hung her head low like a deflated balloon and went to Xander as she was told."Your dad just called. He told us to go home early tonight, but I said we have a movie date after dinner," Xander explained.Anna's eyes lit up. "Movie date?""Yeah. I got the eight p.m. tickets. Let's go. It's about to start!""Wait for me. I need to go get my bag.""Ugh! You're so annoying."

    The next day, Lucy wore a luminous, champagne-colored gown to her birthday party. She walked down the stairs holding Julian's arm. They looked good together. Who would have thought that they had been fighting the night before?Nancy wore a pale blue organza gown. She tried to keep a low profile, but her captivating curves and stunning features made that difficult. The party had just started, and there were already a few men asking for her company.The birthday party looked more like a college alumni gathering.Most of Lucy's friends lived abroad, so they had never met Nancy.

He asked, "Are you enjoying yourself tonight?"Nancy was quite happy, but she insisted she was not. "This is nothing compared to the events I attended when I was a celebrity.

    "No, I was the one who contacted Lucy. I can't really get out much, considering my current circumstances. So I could only pass my time on the new phone that you gave me," Ain explained rather embarrassedly.She was nearly bored to death, as she spent all her time alone in the hospital ward, going through with the treatment as prescribed by her doctor. Ever since Yaacob arranged for her to be transferred to another hospital, he no longer visited her, even when her condition worsened.The only way Ain could learn about Yaacob was to login to Facebook and Instagram. However, Yaacob barely used social media, and even when he did post something, it was related to Getson Corporation.Ain found Lucy through the comments and likes on those posts."Yaacob, if I remember correctly, Lucy used to follow you around, showing up wherever you go. I didn't expect her to marry into your family too. How come it feels as if you guys are estranged?" asked Ain curiously."It's nothing. Rest, Ain. I'l

    When Nancy walked up to Lucy, a maid who was in charge of the present accepted the gift and passed it to Lucy. Lucy quickly took it over from the maid and treated Nancy as though she was invisible. She asked Yaacob, who was behind Nancy, "Yaacob, I remembered you gave me a wonderful pearl necklace last year and a pair of earrings the year before that. What did you give me this year?"Yaacob replied, "I have been busy lately. Nancy is the one who picked out your present. She, as a woman, has better taste than me, and she understands your liking too."Once Lucy found out Nancy was the one who picked the gift, she lost her interest in the gift immediately. When she was about to return the gift to the maid, Julian appeared with a plate of half-eaten black forest cake. He set his eyes on the gift and was very curious about what he could have gotten for Lucy."What did they give you?" Julian asked.That was a question for Lucy, but he was standing beside Nancy when he said it. It felt as

This time, Randall flexed his financial might again. He pulled out a wad of cash from his wallet and put it on the counter. "Boss, we want an entire floor.""Sir, do you want one room or two?""The whole floor!"Hearing what Randall said, Rowena looked at him in amazement. "Why so many rooms?""Have you forgotten how bad the soundproofing is here?" Randall replied.Rowena was speechless.The hotel owner was a veteran of this. He immediately put the money into the counter drawer and said, "Okay, I'll give you a key to a room on the third floor. I'll go knock on every door to clear the floor out right now.

    "How absurd!"Randall's words were not meant to demean her. He just felt that it was too dangerous for the child to be there.Rowena, however, felt like she was being blamed for no reason."Why are you in a restaurant with this girl in the middle of the night?" Rowena asked Randall.Randall did not answer. He walked forward to help secure Dorothy before he took the dangerous weapon off her hands."Rowena, you should bring Sandy back for now."Rowena did not move."It's too dangerous for the both of you to be here. Listen to me!" Randall told her.Rowena did not respond. Instead, it was Dorothy who spoke: "Mr. Smith, why do you think she can just come and go as she pleases? I already told my subordinates that not even a fly is allowed out."Even though Rowena had been captured, she knew that they would not be able to walk free if anything happened to her so the man would not touch her so easily."Mrs. Browning, you just wanted to talk with me."Dorothy really liked talking to

    Dorothy and Randall found themselves in a standoff. Suddenly, a hushed report from her subordinate reached Dorothy's ears. "Someone's outside, claiming to have information on Mr. Randall.""Who? Could it be that Yaacob has returned earlier than expected?" Dorothy, determined to prevail over Randall that night, insisted, "Don't let him in; I can't believe he would just barge in!""It's not Mr. Randall. It's a woman, accompanied by a child." The subordinate hesitated before providing more details.Rowena, who had given birth just four months ago, had swiftly regained her pre-pregnancy figure.
