Nora stared at her stepdaughter with pity.After a while,she made up her mind and gave a bank card to Daphne.

Jacob hadn’t been able to freeze this account because it had been for her retirement savings.

Daphne held the card in her hand and burst into tears.

“I’ll take it but just for now.I’ll replace this morning and I’ll make our lives better again.”Daphne promised,tearfully.

She felt she had brought bad luck to her family for ever being involved with Jacob.

“I have a small apartment in the suburb.Though it’s old and small,I can live there for now.Just focus on winning your father’s case,okay?”Nora said.

Daphne sniffed and nodded.

When Nora was discharged from the hospital,Daphne took her to the apartment she rented after they lost their house.

It was a 60-square-meter two bedroom unit that was located in an old,dilapidated apartment complex.The decoration was simple and shabby,a stark contrast to their former comfortable residence.

Nora looked around and settled down on the lumpy so

    When it was time to get off work,Griffin received several dinner invitations.He refused them all and drove straight to a certain restaurant.At 8 o'clock in the evening, the place was packed, and while they dined,Daphne played the piano.Tonight, she was wearing a grey off-shoulder dress. Her long brown hair hung loosely at her waist, swaying slightly as her fingers danced over the keys.In a word, she was captivating.After looking at her through the window for about ten minutes,Griffin finally got out of the car, pushed the restaurant door open, and walked in.He ordered some food and listened while Daphne played the piano leisurely.While waiting for his food, he noticed that some men accosted her from time to time. He figured that they were also attracted to her.Daphne refused them all politely.During her break, one of the restaurant staff handed Daphne a business card."Atty.Griffin Reyes, Reyes Law Firm."Daphne froze. Sure enough, when she turned around, she met Griffin’s ga

    Daphne took a deep breath and forced herself to stay calm.She said to Lucia, "Please don't come to me anymore. I'm not married, and I don't know anything about weddings. Besides, we're not really friends."Lucia, however, was always spoiled growing up and had never been refused.So she kept pestering Daphne, hell-bent on figuring out why the pretty lady didn't like her.Daphne ignored her and walked into an alleyway, but Lucia still followed her.Daphne rubbed her aching temples, realizing that Lucia wouldn't leave her alone. With clenched fists, she turned around, fully intending to drive Lucia away, but the next second, her eyes went as wide as saucers.A man crept up behind Lucia and knocked her out from behind."It's her! I'm sure this is Jacob’s fiancee! Now we can ransom her off! Jacob will definitely give us the money if we hold his fiancee hostage!""Wait, there's another woman here. Get her! Don't let her get away! Maybe she's also valuable."Before Daphne could scream, a sa

    Griffin worriedly looked down and stared at her pale face.She leaned against his chest and said,weakly.”I’m…my head feels so heavy.”Griffin figured that the men might have hit her on the head so he swiftly placed her in his car and drove her to the nearest hospital.Lying in the back seat,Daphne felt extremely dizzy.Her stomach churned,and she wanted to throw up so badly.Griffin drove the car with one hand and dialed a number with the other.“Dr Paul.It’s me Griffin.My friend needs your help.She might’ve suffered a concussion…okay…I’ll be there in ten minutes.”After putting the phone down,Griffin looked at Daphne in the rearview mirror and asked.“How do you feel?”With her eyes closed,Daphne managed to bit out.”Terrible.”Seeing her like this made Griffin feel terrible as well.“We’ll be at the hospital soon,”He said in a low,comforting voice.Despite the nauseating dizziness,Daphne caught the subtle gentleness in Griffin’s tone.She didn’t expect that a man like him would be so

    Daphne was on a bad mood to notice the secretary’s presence but when the delicious aroma of the food wafted her nostrils,her stomach grumbled.She thanked the secretary and excitedly opened the food container.Daphne salivated seeing the delicious looking chicken soup.She glanced at Griffin and felt touched.Even if he was doing this to keep a close eye on her or not,she still felt so grateful to be taken care off.Staring at him,Daphne thanked him from the bottom of her heart.“Mr Reyes,thank you for everything you’ve done for me today.”With his long legs crossed,Griffin was busy dealing with work on his phone.Without looking up,he said.“You’re welcome,Miss Howard.But I can’t really accept your gratitude,afterall,you think I did this all because I have an ulterior motive.”Daphne paused,the spoon of soup hanging midair.She lowered her head.”I’m sorry for saying that.”She apologized,humbly.Griffin tore his gaze away from his phone and looked at her.Daphne stared back,their eyes l

    The next day,Daphne woke up very early.To her surprise,she found a delicate square velvet box nestled beside her pillow.She felt confused as she opened the box.Inside laid a dazzling diamond ring in classic Tiffany fashion.The main diamond was the biggest Daphne had ever seen.She pursed her lips.It didn’t take long for her to guess who had sent it.She found it so upsetting.After Jacob had abandoned her in that warehouse so she would get raped and killed by thugs,he had the nerves to send her a ring?!Just as she was about to get a nurse to send it back to him,the door swung open,suddenly.Jacob strode in and found Daphne staring at the diamond ring.“You’re finally awake.Do you like it?”He asked,tenderly.Daphne shut the box and glared at him.“I would have loved it if it was from someone else but knowing that it’s from you,the sight of this ring is disgusting and I don’t want it.”She stared at him,indifferently.It was like she was talking to a stranger because now she felt she

    Jacob drove to an antiquated apartment complex.He had once called this place home for a span of two years and the security guard still retained vivid recollections of him. As his vehicle rolled into the premises, the guard extended a warm welcome, exclaiming, "Sir Jacob,welcome.”Jacob acknowledged the greeting with a stoic nod.Ascending the stairs, he unlocked a door, revealing an apartment spanning approximately 80 square meters, brimming with cherished memories of his time with Daphne.During that period, his company teetered on the precipice of bankruptcy. The members of his family dwelled within this aging apartment, where Jacob’s mother would haggle at the market in pursuit of food that was about to go bad—because that was all they could afford.Times were arduous indeed.Considering his sense of self-worth, Daphne would frequently grace his presence, preparing meals for him and discreetly offering him financial assistance.What a naive woman she was!She believed Jacob loved

    Soon,Daphne fell asleep,basking in the warmth of his arms.Griffin shifted his head a bit so he could stare at the body on top of him.She was so lovely.Oh how he wish it wasn’t so complicated to be with her.Daphne woke up to something poking at her.Her eyes widened when she realized what it was.His manhood was erect and had made a huge tent in his trousers.Since she was lying against him,she couldn’t help but feel it pressed against her.She bit her lip,nervously,not knowing whether to move on not.In the confines of the car,Griffin knew she was feeling him and he just smiled watching her turn into a blushing mess.In a hoarse voice,Daphne asked.“What time is it?”Griffin’s warm breath caressed her skin as he whispered in her ear.“It’s past 2:am.I could take you home now if you want.”Daphne remained,motionless.As much as feeling his erection made her nervous,it also aroused her,greatly and she wanted to keep feeling it.Suddenly,a chuckle escape Griffin’s lips.He gently cupped h
