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 Fourthy: Who's The Thief?••• Daphne's Point Of View.I got out of Ryder's car while looking at him. The truth is I'm really scared. But I also thought that do I really need to hide this issue? Nope. Especially if I didn't actually do it."Go," Ryder whispered. "He's a psycho but a good man."I swallowed. I slowly walked towards the door of the house. Treyton kept staring at me and I saw him nod at his friend. I didn't even bother to stop in front of it and instead I continued to enter the house."Love, can we talk?" Treyton's voice was so gentle that I stopped.I heard his footsteps coming towards me so I quickly walked towards the second floor and our room. I will not listen to him as he does not listen to me. I was hurt, he must feel what I felt too."Daphne, wait!" he screamed after.I continued and took my suitcase then I went to the walk in closet. I took all my clothes and put them in the suitcase. Treyton entered the room in shock."Fvck! What are you doing?" every tim
