Chapter Thirty-Two: A Half Of MillionWhen Daphne got to his father's grave, she removed some leaves that had fallen from her tombstone. She put down the flower and lit the candle she was carrying. Daphne read the date he died."Your death anniversary is coming soon, Papa. How are you doing in heaven? Maybe you're watching over me, as well as Mama. Look what you've done! I married a person… the person who no one thinks that I fell in love with. Thank you, Papa. If it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't have seen or even met my one night stand. You really know him very well, that's why you entrusted me to him . I really hope Papa we have a happy ending."After a long drama and Daphne's story about the past events in her life, she said goodbye again to her father's grave. She got into the car and drove to the house of her Mom and her step father. She no longer called or texted her mother to notify her that she would be visiting. She just bought some fruits to welcome them.She didn't go
Chapter Thirty-Three: IndebtednessAfter she finished cleaning her Mother's wounds, she also fed her food because she hadn't eaten yet, then she gave her medicine. After that, her mother fell into a deep sleep. Daphne just watched her Mom while she's sleeping. She missed it. That is the truth.They have not been close since her childhood. Her sister Diane became her mother's favorite. Maybe because Diane looks like her while she looks like their father. She also can't blame her Mom because her Dad was very supportive and spoiled her, so they used to argue often just because of her.She thought of going around the house. That's simple but obviously lifeless. She set out to find Diane's room and she was not disappointed. She looked at every design of her room. Simple and yet aesthetic. She turned her gaze to the family picture on the small table. But more attention-grabbing is a photo where Diane is there and a woman who looks familiar to her.Both Diane and the woman were wearing a sex
Theo's eyes suddenly widened and his jaw literally dropped because of what he heard. He did not immediately process in his mind the said value. What the fvck? Half a million?Did Daphne do drugs so she needed that much money? Or maybe it's just another busy pastime? like gambling? But he never met Daphne that way so it was impossible."H-Hold on. Why is your debt so big? Is it really half a million?" he stammered.I'm not really surprised at the cost of half a million. It's just surprising, especially since he didn't ask Treyton for money, eh, his savings are bigger than mine."I'm not the one who got the loan. Mama, she's been a victim of scammers. The money she used came from a loan company. And she used it to invest in a business, but those animals just ran off Mama's money."Theo thought suddenly. "Daph, don't be mean, but I just want to know. Why don't you want Treyton to borrow money?"Daphne bowed. "I can't. If I'm ashamed of you, I'm three times ashamed of your brother. You kn
It seems like a long time ago when she rushed to prevent their marriage from going ahead. She even pushed him to Diane. Now she is almost jealous of every woman who looks at him.She's unbelievable.The elevator rang signaling that she was on the 10th floor. She walked down the hallway and there weren't many employees here. As far as he knew there were only a few Financial Managers and Treyton's female assistant.She went straight to Treyton's office and was immediately greeted by his assistant, Jessica. He already knew her that time so when she went inside, she immediately brought herbcoffee and cupcake."Mrs. Fuentevalle, do you want to order something?" Jessica asked.Dahne shook her head. "Nothing, Jessica. And then maybe you can just call me Daphne or Doctor Daphne?""Okay, M-Ma'am Daphne."She was about to walk out of the office when she remembered that Treyton didn't know she had come here. She needs to talk to her because she might update Treyton that she's headed here and tha
Chapter Thirty-Six: Where's The Half Of A Million?"Hey babe?" Treyton looked at the familiar voice and saw Diane walking towards him.He quickly frowned then stood up on the sofa. "What the fvck are you doing here?" he asked here.He is currently waiting for Mr. Desmond's assistant in his hotel room to return the design plan book of the building to be built."What do you think?" her silly smile flashed. "Mr. Desmond is sending it back," she said, holding out the booklet. "In fairness, you're not just good in bed, you've got amazing designs, ideas and you got a talent.""You can go now. I don't have time to listen to your praises."Diane was surprised by the words he uttered and felt annoyed. She didn't expect his cold treatment after they got together. It is true that his approach to her was planned, but he did not plan to love her. Everyone thinks she's stupid and a bitch but she doesn't care.When she succeeds in their plan, Treyton will definitely come to her and she will accept w
Chapter Thirty-Seven: AccusationEnri was nervous. He was afraid of his boss and that was the truth because he had seen him get angry once before. Seriously, and in an instant the former financial manager of Dream Builders lost his job."I-I'm sorry, because I didn't ask for your consent if I can verify what I found out. B-But, Mr. Fuentevalle, based on the bank yesterday at noon, money entered the bank account of your wife."Treyton grinned. "Wait a minute, what do you really want to point out? What if some money came into my wife's bank? Maybe it's her salary!""A-As what I've said, your wife was in your office yesterday with Jessica. And the amount of money that entered Ma'am Daphne's bank... I-It's half of a million, Mr. Fuentevalle."Treyton was suddenly silent. He was trying to remember if Daphne had said goodbye or mentioned that she was going to Dream Builders. But it's unfortunate that he remembered something because she didn't say anything. But why? Why didn't she say that?
Chapter Thirty-Eight: InnocentThe Doctor came out of the emergency room and they all listened to what he said. Fortunately, their father only passed out due to intense anger. All the laboratory resuqlts are fine and it has been brought to the private room."T-Treyton, can we talk?" Daphne asked nervously.But she couldn't avoid talking to her husband even more and she could see that he was constantly avoiding her. Now she had the courage to face him. They were the only ones left inside their Daddy's room and their Mommy left to buy food so now they are the ones watching.Treyton sighed then looked at Daphne. He shook his head and turned to face it and stared at it for a long time. He didn't know if he should be angry or if he should tell the real problem the Dream Builders were facing."What do you want to talk about?" Treyton asked and the annoyance in his voice was unmistakable.Daphne didn't expect that to be his response. She's off guard. Shee seemed helpless, no words coming out
Chapter Thirty-Nine: Super Ryder••• Daphne's Point Of View.I quickly ran out of the room after apologizing to Treyton. He actually hurt me! Like he did before! I had no idea at first why he seemed to be angry with me since we met at the hospital. I didn't even know he was coming, then this surprise?"Daph, what happened? Why are you crying?" Theo asked when he met me."N-Nothing, your brother and I just argued."I was surprised when Theo suddenly grabbed my hand."Did he hurt you?" There is anger in Theo's voice and appearance. "I know it's normal for married couples to argue or fight, but it's a different story when he hurts you!""B-Because Theo, he's accusing me of stealing half a million from Dream Builders. Y-You know I can't do that!""Of course I do, because the money you borrowed came from me! Then you should explain! Wait, I will talk to him--""I can't! No, don't. W-We'll only fight more if he finds out that I came close to you. You know how much he hates you. I don't want
Chapter Fifty-Three: Comeback To LifeDaphne walks down the long hallway but there is nothing in the area. All he sees around him is pure light. That's why he was restless and looked at what he was going through.Where am I? What kind of place is this?He looked at his clothes. The color of the dress she is wearing is white. He did not understand what was happening. He was the only one here and he didn't know why he was here.Later he continued walking even though he thought it was endless. Until he could see a lump. Even though he was afraid, he took courage and continued walking. He saw here a man with his hand outstretched in front of him.He immediately frowned until he was surprised to recognize who it was."P-Papa... Papa?" he was shocked and confused when he called here.Tears welled up in his eyes."How is my Princess?" His father replied with a smile."It's you, Papa!" he quickly ran and immediately hugged his Papa.But he immediately broke away from the embrace when he remem
Chapter Fifty-Two: Ace Card••• Daphne"I-I have to go home. M-Maybe my husband is waiting for me," I removed the serum that was attached to me and saw it bleed a little, but I didn't care.All I could think about was that I had to go home. I need to see Treyton. I need to fix things between the two of us."Sister Daphne, what are you doing? You need to rest first and one more thing, we haven't talked to the Doctor about the follow up of your condition," said Daphne, and her voice showed concern."I-I'm a doctor, so I know I'm fine. I-I'm going home, Diane. I'm sure Treyton is worried about me. He's waiting for me to come home."I pushed Diane slightly to get out."But you're not okay-"I didn't wait for him to finish speaking and quickly left the room. I left the hospital immediately. But Theo immediately blocked me. His forehead was furrowed and he seemed surprised at what he was doing."Where are you going, Daph? Are you feeling all right?" he asked while looking at my wrist where t
Chapter Fifty-One: Fake Love?The next day, Daphne woke up early to prepare something for Treyton to eat. After she finished cooking she went up to the room and was surprised when Treyton was dressed and ready to go. She thought of a mischief and immediately came to Treyton and kissed him but she was surprised when he suddenly hugged her and she almost fell."What are you doing?" Treyton asked him annoyed."W-What's the problem, Love?" he looks like he's going to cry.Treyton quickly walked out of the room and Daphne immediately followed."E-Eat first, I cooked.""I'll just eat at the office."Daphne did not hesitate and immediately blocked Treyton as soon as he stepped down the barrier. He could no longer ignore what was happening to them now. It's hard for him to predict because of what Treyton is making him feel."Eat first, please."Daphne saw Treyton's eyes widen and walked over to the dinning table and sat down there. He smiled and somehow fulfilled his wish to eat together now.
Chapter Fifty: Diane Is Pregnant"D-Do we have a problem, Love?" Daphne asked as Treyton adjusted his suit.He has been ignoring her for almost two weeks since he came home from Cebu. Not even looking or glimpsing can do it. And Daphne is hurt because Treyton seems to be avoiding her."Nothing." he replied without looking at her.Treyton took the suitcase and left the room. It's going to the company now. He didn't understand why it was like this. Why does Treyton seem cold to her and she's damn hurting right now. He wondered if he had done something wrong. Or if he said something bad.He just took it for granted that day. He thought that maybe Treyton was just tired, and had a lot of projects. That's why he just focused on his work at the hospital. But he will not lose his buoyancy while working.And she's fucking aware of that.He couldn't tell Izzy because he knew that he was also facing something now. Claude was broken hearted and that man never showed up again. As Daphne walked tow
Chapter Forty-Nine: Sex DrugsTreyton went straight to the Enchanted Bar. He didn't call his friends anymore because for him he had to face it alone. Why is he still? Of all people in the world, really? Why did he witness his Daddy's cheating?He's now fucking useless for his wife. He had hurt her before. And he was afraid to tell it all. Especially about his conditon. Turns out he can't give Daphne a whole family. It turns out that he can't make his parents Grandpa and Grandma.It is no longer about the inheritance. This is about him. About his condition of not knowing how to treat it. Will he ever recover? He thinks it's not anymore, and he doesn't want Daphne to suffer with him.Daphne deserves many men. He is no longer in their little fingers. Daphne deserves to be happy and have a whole family. And he is not the one who can give it."Hey there, Louis!"Treyton suddenly looked at the familiar voice. It's Mindy. When he's at the bar, he just calls him Louis, when he's at work, he c
Chapter Forty-Eight: His Conditon Is Back"Mr. Fuentevalle, are you okay?" Enri asked, because he could sense his Boss's seeming anxiety.Treyton nodded in surprise. "Yes, I'm pretty fine," Treyton lied.Enri left even though he was still paying attention to his Boss that it was not okay. When Enri disappeared, Treyton sighed. He has been in Cebu for four days and is currently looking at the lot to build the house and preparing the list of materials. He's with Enri while Storm is with Daphne. He left her to watch over her while he was away.Right now he can't understand himself. It was as if his mind was haunting him about his strange feelings. He tried to make love with Daphne before he left, but heck! He felt nothing and felt that it was worse than before.His masculinity seems numb."Treyton, come with us, we booked lunch for us," said Dale, one of the architects with him.A fake smile appeared on Treyton's lips then he shook his head."Thanks, Dale. But I still have something impo
Chapter Forty-Seven: What If?••• Treyton"Love, open this fucking door! You can't do this to me! Please, open this door!" I shouted at the front door of our house.I went home to pick him up from the bar and then the same thing happened? What did my stupid friend do? Of course, if Daphne doesn't let me in, I'm really going to get that gag. I just froze because of annoyance."Get out of here! I don't want to see the look on your face! I told you, go with your womanizer friend! You womanizers!" I heard Daphne shout back.Well, that's based on my past."Love, why did I feel sorry? I have changed! And one more thing, I had nothing to do with what Claude did!""If you don't present Claude to me we won't get along!"I suddenly frowned. I really sympathize?"What the heck? Are you serious, love?""I'm fucking serious, Treyton! I'm going to teach that friend of yours a lesson when we meet!"I just shook my head and quickly got into my car. That claude really belongs to me. With so many girls
Chapter Forty-Six: Izzy's FUBU••• DaphneThe next day I felt the pain in my whole body. I can't remember how many rounds we did last night. We have become too impulsive ourselves. I'm not sorry because it's my present to him, but shocks me! It's really painful.I looked around but Treyton was gone. When I looked at the clock, my mouth almost dropped. Is it already 1 pm? Oh my god, it's already noon! I noticed a letter on the mini table near the bed. That was from Treyton."I left early because there is a new project in Cebu. Hindu I woke you up because I know you are tired. Call Storm if you need anything, don't forget to eat. I love you. - Your husband never runs out of energy. *smile emoticon *The last thing I wrote made me smile. Yes, indeed! I don't think my husband runs out of energy. Last night was the longest and most we did. My stripper show seemed really effective, and I laughed again.I just forced myself to stand up and went to the shower room. I soaked there for a few ho
Chapter Forty-Five: Birthday Show [Warning! SPG +18]"Can you lower your voice? She might be hearing you or maybe someone heard what you say! Damn it!" Treyton slammed his palm on the table.Treyton's Daddy grinned and shook his head as he watched his son seem to be stuck in a difficult situation. He's not a bad father, he just wants Treyton to be strong and stand on his own feet, his own decision without thinking about the people who are manipulating his life. It's simple as that, but seeing his son now, he still can't tell if Treyton can do it.He knew he had done something wrong before and he didn't know what effect it had on Treyton. He agreed to the deal so he wouldn't make the mistake he made before. He loves his son very much, but fate is playful because he fell in love with two women and he became a bad boy.And he regrets what he did, but the damage is done, and Theo is the result."What we talked about is almost over, and it seems like Daphne is not yet pregnant. Have you two
