"Are you really going to be like this again, Liam? Why did you always question me whenever I did something good for the company? The other day, you questioned me after I got ten project collaborations for Campbell. And now, you want to question me again about my microchip project?" She retorted calmly.

"It's not your project, isn't it? You stole it from someone," Liam accused her directly.

"Excuse me?" She chuckled in disbelief, looking at him with her eyes flaring with annoyance.

"Of course, it's my project! Do you think it's easy for me to find a group of engineers working on some potentially profitable microchip project? It wasn't easy and I worked hard to find it for our company so we didn't have to beg Aeroxx for their microchip like you did before. Are you a dog? Begging for their food as if Campbell aren't capable enough to have our very own microchip project?" She insulted his past action critically and that made Liam slightly offended.

He scoffed at her and shook his head in

    His eyes became reddened and he tried hard to hinder his tears from falling. His breath was getting heavy as he tried to mention his apology to her."I'm... sorry, Kathy. I'm so... sorry that you... had to go through that," he looked down only towards the table, feeling truly ashamed to even meet her gaze. He felt so bad for her. He felt horrible inside knowing Nora did all those things to her. He was there right beside Nora all this time. They lived in the same house, they went to work at the same company, so how could he not notice any of it? How could he not know anything about the scheme?"Please... I know I might sound shameless right now... But could you let it slide this time...?" Liam begged.He had a sudden thought about their father. That old man won't be able to accept this situation. If what Nora did get exposed, not just their father but the whole Campbell Corporation could fall to the ground. This was a high-profile crime and Nora was not messing with just anybody. It wa

    The next morning, Liam Campbell came to the office and saw a list of invitations on his desk. It was for the microchip launching event that would be held by the end of the week at Emerald Hotel. He scanned all the companies that were invited there and didn't see Castell Corporation or Aeroxx Corporation. His brows knitted, wondering why Castell was not invited. Amidst his thought, Nora suddenly entered his office without knocking."I won't invite Castell. They're only going to ruin the mood with their moody attitudes. That family don't like getting beaten," she said with no apparent reason as if she could read Liam's mind."How about Aeroxx Corporation?" Liam asked, seeming uninterested in the matter, but still asking just in case Kathleen was asked to attend the event later by their father."Aeroxx?" Nora burst out laughing."Yeah, Aeroxx. What about them?" Liam kept his serious gaze."Aeroxx had closed down, in case you forgot. There is no more company named Aeroxx in our country,"

    On the night of the launching event day, Aaron told Kathleen that he had an unexpected meeting at Castell Corporation. While Kathleen said she had promised to hang out with Tiara at the mall. Aaron left the house first, wearing his normal suit to work. Kathleen left half an hour after, wearing a navy blue evening dress. She tried to dress simple so she wouldn't attract any attention during the launching event later. The last thing she wanted was for her picture to be taken by some photographers while she was not aware and got posted online. If that happened, her true identity would be exposed and Aaron would know instantly. She also brought some spare clothes with her, casual ones for her to change after the event ended. That would be her clothes when she came home so Aaron won't suspect anything.Aaron was on his way to Emerald Hotel for the microchip launching event. He arrived there early, but he waited inside the car, still thinking whether he should go in or not. Somehow, after A

    Kathleen looked at Nora without saying a word. She was truly baffled to see how much Nora could pull up an act right now as if she never hurt her before. To be able to remain reserved and behaved like she was sinless, Nora was really such a terrifying person.Kathleen's mind slowly rolled back to the past when they were just young teenage girls. When Nora entered college to take a fashion design course, Kathleen had always looked up to her, having admired her sister and hoping that someday she could take the same course too. But her father had a different plan for her and she was forced to study business. Strangely, learning business was actually where her talent was. But the point was, back then Nora wasn't like this. She was not someone who would scheme on people. She loved helping her friends, especially those who studied fashion design together with her. 'What happened to you?' Kathleen wondered what was the reason that triggered Nora to change her attitude drastically. She was re

    Now that he looked at her face again, she really resembled Kathleen a lot. 'What's going on?' Aaron's heart started to beat fast."Yes, Jones. I'm not using Campbell as my surname to avoid conflict with Kenneth's relatives. We had a daughter together. You should really meet her. Kathy rarely socializes with people. She really needs to be more outgoing like Nora. Right, honey?" Victoria said."Yes. You should meet our daughter," Kenneth agreed and the couple turned around to beckon their daughter to come forward and meet Aaron.Kathleen gazed up when her father called her and she instantly looked his way only to notice that Aaron was right there, standing in front of her parents. His expression looked calm, yet his eyes showed it all. The ultimate surprise, the shocking truth. It was finally here, happening to both of them in such an unexpected situation."Kathy, what are you doing just standing there? Come here," Victoria pulled her daughter's hand and now Kathleen stood in between th

    Kathleen leaned her body against the wall, feeling weak out of a sudden. Her mind went blank. Liam held both her shoulders, facing her, saying something she couldn't care to hear. Everything around her slowly became inaudible and her body melted down like jelly. She fell from her footing and lay like she was about to crawl on the floor. "Kathy... Kathy..." She knew Liam was calling her but she felt like she was inside another dimension right now, couldn't engage with anything or anyone. It felt like in that dimension, it was only her there, lonely. "Get back to your sense! Stop crying! Aaron isn't worth it!" Liam yelled at her. It was fortunate enough that the music inside the banquet hall was loud and no one came out to the hallway at all. Yet, it didn't make Liam feel at ease. He still feared someone might see Kathleen breaking down like a person losing her mind. After a few seconds, she snapped back to reality and she glared at Liam instantly. She stood up and slapped his face ha

    "Give me a chance to explain," Kathleen begged again."I don't want to hear your explanation! You're a fucking liar! You ruined my life! You knew how important that microchip project was to me... You knew it was my way out from the Castell, my mother's way out from my despicable father! But you ruined our chances to have a new life! You ruined everything that I'd worked hard for! You're a fucking liar! A fucking snake! You heinous Campbell! I fucking hated you so much!""I... wanted... a way... out too..." she tried hard to speak with his hand on her neck. He began strangling her again. She almost went out of breath and she stopped struggling as she could feel oxygen wasn't able to enter her lungs anymore. She was about to faint but Aaron didn't want to give her a chance to rest. So when she was almost out, he pushed her body hard to the side until she fell roughly to the floor.Kathleen didn't have any energy to even stand on her feet. She managed to grab hold of her body using her e

    After leaving his house, Aaron drove straight to Majestic Palace Hotel and stayed at the royal suite for the night. He sat on the sofa in the living area in the middle of the room and stared at his surrounding. This was the place where it all started between him and Kathleen. This was the room where they had their first time making love after Kathleen got drugged by Rodney at Aeroxx's tenth anniversary party. This was also the place where he told her about his plan for the microchip project and how he wished to bring her to move abroad with his mother after the project is successfully launched. He also celebrated his early engagement plan with her in this room. Now that he reminisced back all those happy memories, he realized that Kathleen acted so well that he didn't even have the slightest suspicion about her. "It felt so real..." he mumbled alone. When he remembered what he did to Kathleen inside the house before, he slowly felt like he had become a monster. "That's not me... I'm

    "You must be the less popular Castell, you didn't seem to be able to find anyone to mingle with at this party," Liam approached Adrian Castell from behind. The man turned around instantly at his words and scoffed when he realized it was Liam."So did you. The only Campbell who got invited," Adrian jested back."I talked with Aaron a bit just now," Liam went to stand beside him and offered to clink their drink glasses together, as a sign of affinity. Adrian just went along with it and then they sipped on their drinks while staring at the exact same spot, Sandra and her friends."She probably going to be my sister-in-law in the future. So I ought to come to her birthday party and make peace with her," Adrian remarked."Are you sure? Has Aaron introduced her to your family?""Not yet. Actually, he didn't really seem to give much thought to dating this woman... I mean, he had his entire focus on the company development, I don't think he had the time to date around.""So, why do you think

    When Aaron left Sandra alone heartlessly, Seth Martin approached her. He took out a small velvet box from his suit and gave it to her. It looked like a ring box because it was small. Sandra thought it was a ring so she didn't dare to accept it."Just open it first," Seth said solemnly. He didn't put her birthday present on the gift table along with the other presents she got from her friends before. That was because he wanted to give it to her by himself.She took it carefully and glanced at Aaron that now stood so far away. The guy didn't seem to care about what she was doing. Sandra sighed heavily and opened the small box from Seth. There was a pair of pink crystal earrings inside."I thought it might match your personality. You always wore pink ballerina dress when you're teaching your students at the academy," Seth remarked."Thank you..." She replied slowly, showing almost no reaction after seeing the earrings. Her heart was still a bit disappointed that Aaron hadn't thought abou

    Instantly, the word 'marriage' came up in Liam's mind. 'Did he mean having a truce through marriage?' He wondered. Aaron turned around and was about to leave him alone."Regardless, you won't be able to get back with Kathy. She didn't use our family name. So, she would be out of the picture for the truce arrangement," Liam said to die our Aaron's expectation of having a chance to be with Kathleen again."Really? Then, there's still Nora. Let's see what Kathy would think seeing her ex-husband marrying her half-sister. Let's just be one big happy family," Aaron emphasized his last sentence purposely, to piss off Liam."So, you're going to just agree to marry someone who steal from you before and ruined your company despite having a girlfriend right now? Look at Sandra right there. She's all happy thinking you love her wholeheartedly. But here you are plotting revenge on my family through a marriage arrangement. You're really a heartless guy, Aaron.

    In the same week, Liam suddenly got an invitation to go to a birthday party at a local clubhouse owned by Castell Corporation, The Heritage. He felt odd about it because he didn't know who the person celebrating the birthday was. It was actually Sandra Wilson.A few months after Kathleen left, Aaron got back together with Sandra. He did it out of frustration, trying to find a way out of his feelings for Kathleen. The relationship went well but he never go intimate with Sandra. He still kept his boundary with her despite people starting to notice their relationship. In fact, he never made any special announcement or declaration saying that Sandra was his new partner. They were just together casually.On a Tuesday night, he held a surprise birthday party for Sandra. It was her thirtieth birthday party and Aaron invited all her friends and his friends too. Even Liam was included in the invitation. Certainly, Aaron deliberately did that to show Liam how well he moved on from his past marr

    Rodney just shook his head as a response and all the policemen left his private room, giving him some privacy to rest. He was about to lie down on the bed again but his phone rang. He took it out from his suit that was placed on the bedside table, thinking that it might be a call from his family. But when he checked the caller ID, it was Nora Campbell."Fuck you! I'm not going to fucking answer that," he cursed alone while just throwing the phone back on his suit. He didn't dare to answer the call because it might be a test from Liam. Who knows what kind of trouble he might get into again if he answers the call from Nora? He had promised Liam last night that he won't bother Nora nor Kathleen again so from this moment forward, he had obstinately decided to never be in contact with any of the women at least for a few months.***"Are you sure about this?" Liam was on the phone with Kathleen. It had been two months since she left the country."Yeah... I think it would be better this way.

    He saw Liam staring at him with some kind of menacing expression. Rodney got an instant reaction of trying to escape the room. He stood up and went after the door, but Liam was faster to block the exit."Not so fast..." Liam said with a sinister laugh."You just arrived..." he added and pushed Rodney's chest, making the man sit down again."I... I... I think I can't be too long here. I'm sure my parents won't let me stay out too late," Rodney stuttered in his words, trying to find some excuse to escape."Oh... come on Rodney. We're of the same age. I'm sure you could find some better excuse than that," Liam replied snickeringly."Why do you want to meet up with me anyway? We aren't that close. If this is about Kathy, I swear I never bother her anymore after she broke the engagement. I really never bother or pester her anymore. I swear," Rodney begged to be spare as Liam leaned his body closer to him and his collar was grabbed."You should have walked away silently after Kathy found y

    "What did you say? What's his name again?" The man seemed in a state of disbelief. He wished that he just heard it wrongly."Aaron Castell," but Luffy repeated the same name.Liam was speechless. He glanced at his stepmother and the woman could see from his expression that something was wrong."Why?" She asked in anxiousness."Aaron came," Liam murmured to her in an almost inaudible voice."Sir?" Luffy was still in the line, waiting for the next order from Liam."Don't let him in. I'm coming there," Liam said and put down the phone.Victoria wanted to follow him out of the house but he told her to just stay inside. She was not in a stable condition right now and he feared she might lash out at Aaron for hurting Kathleen before. He didn't want the situation to get worse as their family were already enemies with the Castell.Aaron stood beside his car that stopped right in front of the main gate of Campbell's manor. He was waiting for the gate to be opened but the guard said he was not

    "It's Aaron."The answer Liam gave made her sigh heavily. She felt like she wanted to berate Kathleen for making such a major decision without discussing it with her. Aaron Castell was the only legitimate heir of Castell Corporation. Even though that young man was not yet in charge of the company right now, everyone knew he would be the one who would replace Edward Castell to take control of Castell Corporation later. In short, Aaron was not someone that anyone would want to mess with. Now her daughter had been associated closely with that man, even to the extent of having married together. If Kenneth knew about this, Victoria was sure her husband would surely accuse Kathleen of trying to betray Campbell Corporation."This is bad. Don't tell your dad about this. I don't want the other Campbell to pick on Kathleen again. Are you sure they had really divorced? Why did they divorce? Wait... during the microchip launching event... we did introduce Kathy to Aaron. Did he not know that she

    Later that evening when it was time to clock out from work, Aaron received a call from Detective Leon. He didn't hope to get much news about Kathleen that soon because he just hired the investigator this morning."Mr Castell, I'd check and saw your wife's car driving around the city about three days ago in the morning. And then later that day she parked in front of a hotel, I'm guessing she stayed there for a day. The next day, her car was seen driving into the Campbell's manor. And it never gets out from there until today. I think she's probably there inside that residential," Detective Leon explained through the phone.Aaron was silent to hear that information. But a smirk slowly appeared on his face. 'So, you're not that innocent after all. In the end, you returned to your vile family again,' he muttered internally, slightly having his mind assuming the bad about Kathleen again. He felt a bit disappointed that she left him before, thinking that maybe he was wrong. But after the det
