"The lover knows the yearning best, the seducer knows the perpetual wanting for the best. Love makes people foolish, but without love life is impossible."
Riley was almost at the door before he could gather himself. He glances up at her. The woman who was pretending to be ruthless to him was trembling. He could see her. Her eyes. Eyes that we're red. Those eyes that she had were covered with sunglasses with minimum to no need for it.
"Wait for a second, honey." She stops. But it doesn't turn around.
"I am one of those people who will do anything to get what I love. Whether it's a car, or you. WE ARE NOT GETTING THAT DIVORCE THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. DO YOU HEAR ME? WE ARE NOT GETTING A DIVORCE." The words fly out of his mouth before he even has a chance to think of them through-his mouth has somehow di
"I can't live without you, '' is a lie. Nobody has oxygen packets."It had been two weeks since Riley visited Christian at his house and he couldn't stop thinking about how to get her to vindicate him.Occasionally he would just loiter outside her office until she would appear, and when she does. He will admit his guilt but she would never throw a glance at him. She would just walk away by his side and avoid him like he was unseen. No matter how considerably he tried to stop her by coming in front of her. She would zigzag by him. Few days when he couldn't make it to her office, because of the workload he had to deal with in his office. He will go to her parent's bungalow and wait for her the whole night outside their beautiful villa. Unsurprisingly, he never rang their doorbell. His father's words were still fresh in his mind, "Some wounds heal with time
"I wish I could tell you, that sometimes your love for someone is much higher than your trust, their betrayal." [Riley]Riley pushed her dark, shaggy hair away from her alluring brown eyes. She had fathomed that he could respond like that.She sighed and walked two steps toward him. She blurted out, "Oh. I hope you do find her.""You hope so. Well, thanks to you honey. I found her."Christian was jealous so he snatched her hand that was in the grasp of Stuart away from him. He pulled her gently towards his side. Riley didn't even get the chance to protest, she was a little flabbergasted by his words. And Before she knew it, she was behind him. Facing his muscular back. He was wearing a long brown overcoat that was wet for some reason. Looking at his wet coat, she scolded him to change it or he might catch a cold, but she didn't. They weren't on good terms now. And it's not her business whether he will be sick or not.
"The pain you feel from the loss of a loved one can be cured in the world. So don't lose hope." [Christian Evercast]Christian walks with one hand in his pocket and a few maids following behind him on the staircase. He halts for a second noticing Riley's presence and then walks down. "I seem to remember Christian, you forged a fake identity to marry me, so you can't force me back here. I will file a case against you, and we will see who dares to touch my father's business."The assistant behind Christian gasps. 'Our sir failed to win the mistress's heart despite living with her for almost a year. But she is crazy to refuse his kindness.'Christian stops in front of her staring at her boldly like a general who has just won a great victory and doesn't give a dang about what bad things she says about him.He smiles blandly at Riley who gives him a threatening look. Her beautiful brown eyes looked fierce and int
"Love people so much. That is when they lose you. They have to find you in other people." [Christian]The moment his words ended, the camera persons focused their camera on Riley. One out of them shouted, "Hey if I guess it right, you are the daughter of Mr. Brown? Aren't you?""If what you said is correct, isn't she the woman who married a beggar and left her family fortune for him?" Another one inquired.The journalists all began to shout all questions at once. It was the opposite of what they were informed. They only got the information that The billionaire Christian Evercast would like to declare openly his wife. "Then does that mean you divorced your beggar husband? And got married to Mr. Evercast?"The entire room was in chaos."I…." Riley threw a glare in the direction of Christian. This man practically threw her in the mud. She didn't know what to say to that if she agreed that meant Christian had to admit he was the beggar. If she told them the truth, she wouldn't have any
"Your parents will always have your back." [Riley]"Christian Evercast, How dare you scam my daughter?" Mr. Brown pointed at Christian with his finger as he trembled with anger. He wishes he could tear the man into pieces. He broke his princess's heart.Christian stands silently in the corner, too ashamed to say anything.Riley looks at her father with a pleading gaze but he returns her gaze challenging her to say one word for him. So she keeps silent. Christian was frozen on the spot too embarrassed to say anything to defend himself. But he threw Riley a glance seemingly accusing her as if she should be the one to defend him."Dad…..There are journalists inside, why don't we come tomorrow to teach this man a lesson?" Riley says to her father who was approaching Christian slowly as if to instill fear in the man."Journalists? Why?" Stephen stopped and looked at her daughter questioningly."Dad, I will explain everything to you in detail, we need to go away now. Or there will be a grea
"Let a man show you how much he wants you. Before choosing him." [Riley]Christian smiles at Riley and stares at her provokingly. She frowns. She wants to know what he did that led her father to forgive him so easily. After all, Her father might get angry easily but to come out of it was almost impossible for him. But yesterday he returned two hours later and then said she should give her husband a chance. After all, he protected her from the accident before and never did anything wrong other than one lie. He also told her how foolish men in love are. How foolish he was. What she couldn't understand was why her father's behavior had changed so suddenly to the extent that he said, 'I should give him a chance to prove his love for me.'"Is it true Cynthia that you accidentally pushed him down the stairs yesterday?" She asks Cynthia who looked too prim and proper to be in their home. Maybe he called her from his office directly.She turns to Christian in astonishment. He shrugs his shou
"Love is companionship. A person who could be your best companion will be the person who loves you unconditionally." [Ifveen]*******A black limousine stops in front of the door of the seven-star hotel named Victoria Milan. Riley looked out of the window and observed how royal entrance looked and it stood out. It makes Riley realize how showy the businessmen's parties are. And that makes her feel a little anxious."Remind me why I am here again?" She asks the man sitting beside her.Looking all dashing and handsome in a grey Armani suit. Since his secret was out and clear, he didn't bother to use the face mask his plastic surgeon had prepared for him. Before he used to wear cheap clothes and somehow managed to keep his handsome face balanced. But now that he was wearing awesome quality clothes, he looked out outstanding. Someone Riley would never believe will love her wholeheartedly."For me honey. You might have to attend these banquets now that the world knows I have such a beautif
"Friendship is extremely precious. But sometimes those who are so precious to you will do you the worst way possible. So beware of your friends!" [Ifveen]*******It's been three days since they attended the banquet together. But the media was still obsessed with them. Making new stories about them every day. Their pictures went viral on Twitter and people were using their pictures and making new stories every day. The woman named Athanasia was also mapped together. So there were various types of speculations in the media. "Love rival of Riley Brown". "Christian's Childhood sweetheart." were some of the catchy titles she read, and there were many stories cooked. Starting with how Christian was lovey-dovey with the other woman while his jealous wife stood by his side.but by the third day, it was all wiped out from newspapers. A few publishing houses were shut down in a day. The mere fact made Riley uncomfortable. Christian was someone no one should mess with!There was a knock on the
