“You are a strong woman. My best friend Susan is not so easily broken.” Clarabelle put her arm around Susan's shoulders, also looking out at the pool in front of her.Susan's cell phone rang again. The feeling of anger and sadness had not faded in Susan's heart, she also picked up a call from Lorenz."Susan, I need to meet you and speak with you." Lorenz's voice reached Susan's ear. Susan didn't answer. She didn't want to say anything."I know, you are mad at me. But I really need to talk to you.” Lorenz's voice was a little louder and his speech was pressed heavily."About what, sir?" Finally, Susan opened her mouth."We meet then I will explain to you." Lorenz refused to speak on the phone.“Huuffhh…” Susan clenched her fists, then exhaled heavily.“Just once, then you can make your move.” Lorenz's voice returned flat."Where? When?" Susan spoke flatly.“Hayden House, Mr. James's birthday. He asked me and you to come.” Lorenz's answer surprised Susan."What?" Susan straightened up,
Susan's heart was beating rapidly. She couldn't help it, Lorenz looked extremely handsome in her eyes. Faced so close, Susan honestly admitted, she was stunned. However, Susan steeled herself, she would not be weak to a man who did not expect her and lowered herself to such an extent.“You…” Lorenz looked intently at Susan.Susan looked up, studying every part of Lorenz's face. She must conquer the pounding heart and nervousness that increasingly dominates her chest.“I love you, Susan.”Those words… Susan stared at her suddenly, wide. Unknowingly she took two steps back."What?" she muttered reflexively."I do." Lorenz didn't move. His eyes were still on Susan's bead, who had not yet returned to her position, staring at Lorenz in disbelief.“I don't understand at all. You're a strange man." Susan was not happy with what Lorenz had to say. Her surprise was precise because she felt that Lorenz was playing her again.Susan snorted, then turned, preparing to leave Lorenz. Lorenz stepped
Clarabelle freezed, speechless. Hearing what Jordan said, Clarabelle felt her body tremble."Bitch..." she said softly. It was what Jordan mentioned earlier. It was what Jordan pinned on her. Was it really that bad when Jordan looked at Clarabelle?James also did not move from his position. He was still holding his cheeks that were hot from Jordan's slap.Hands cold and body feeling unsteady, Clarabelle looked straight at Jordan who disappeared into the gloom with haste and anger.James approached Clarabelle. “I am sorry … I am really sorry …”Clarabelle didn't answer. Clarabelle tears spilled from her eyes. Devastated, was how she felt. Why did there another misunderstanding happen? James and Jordan had just started on good terms, getting along a bit. Jordan had not fully forgiven James. He just put aside the resentment that had been piling up in his heart toward his brother. Good grief …And Susan, Clarabelle heard laughter in the distance from Susan and Lorenz. Clarabelle turned to
Jordan drove his car, speeding down the deserted streets. He couldn't hold his emotions anymore. The destination was only one, to the club. He wanted to release all the anger he felt. He was sure his friends must still be enjoying the night with the women they liked around them.When Jordan walked in, he went straight to the room he and his friends used to use. There, Warren and Louie were busy with their respective partners. But Ronald was nowhere to be seen."Hey! Mr. Hayden! Look, Guys!” Warren was shocked to see Jordan appear.Jordan sat across from Warren, grabbed the bottle on the table, and quickly downed half of it until it was low.“Wow! Jordan, what's wrong with you?” Louie quickly grabbed the bottle in Jordan's hand and pushed it away.The intimate event of two couples breaking up. They focused on Jordan who looked messed up.“How many months haven’t you been here? Suddenly, you are coming like a crazy man!” said Warren."Is Ellen here?" he asked. He glared at his two frien
Sheena looked at Jordan enchantingly. Handsome face, sharp eyes, and firm gaze. Inevitably, Jordan deserves to be called an incomparable playboy."I'm already ahead of you, Sir. I'm ready to do whatever you want." Sheena had not taken her eyes off Jordan. The man sat with his shirt open, but he had not removed it."It's not as easy as you think, Lady. If I want tonight, we can go crazy. But I'm a patient man. I still want to play around differently. Can you stand it, or do you prefer anyone else? Whatever,” Jordan said expressionlessly.That cool attitude made Sheena even more curious about Jordan. She leaned forward, pressed against the table in front of her, deliberately letting her body cover-up open."I will prove it, I can serve you, whatever you want." Sheena showed a passionate smile.Jordan laughed. But what appeared in his mind was Clarabelle's wistful face. A sad face that asked Jordan not to hurt her."Shall we begin, Mr. Hayden?" she asked."Give me a drink. I want to quen
"I don't know, Susan. I also do not know. But I might be able to speak to Mr. James.” Lorenz answered."Okay. I'll see if I might be able to talk to Jordan," Susan said. She disconnected Lorenz's call.Susan's heartbeat was fast. She had seen how Jordan got mad at employees. He could explode uncontrollably when he was really emotional. Susan had to be careful.Susan returned to her seat on the couch where she had been before. She pretended to be busy with her cell phone. She heard footsteps approaching."Lala?"She turned. "Hi, good morning, Mr. Hayden." Susan tried to smile at Jordan."Susan?" Jordan's face sank. He didn't expect to see Susan that early at his house. "You here?""Yes, sir. Today I have a business with Lala." Susan tried to stay calm, looking for a space to say something."I think she's already told you what happened." Jordan smiled bitterly. There was an annoying look there."You'd better talk to Lala. I'm sure you know her well. She really loves you. So …""Because
"Yes, I'm crazy. Too bad, you find out Jordan Hayden is a madman!” Jordan snapped, kicking the door. Susan and Clarabelle jumped in shock. "Lala, we better get going. You're not safe here." she stood. Clarabelle stood up too. “Susan, you get out of this house! I have business with my wife!” Jordan steps in. "I take her out with me." Susan took Clarabelle's hand. "You wanna come with her? You don't want to be loyal to the man you married?” Jordan looked at Clarabelle, sarcastically. Clarabelle's heart was pounding again. What did Jordan want from her? “If you leave this house, I can conclude what is your heart, you wanna be free from me. Then, you can come to your secret lover at any time, James Hayden, the proud son of Jaren and Ann-Mary, not as the troublemaker, Jordan Hayden. Great!" Jordan spoke again with a half scream. "Lala!" Susan tugged on Clarabelle's arm. "Go on, Susan." Clarabelle let go of Susan's hand. "No, you have to leave out of here." Susan looked at Clarabe
Clarabelle hadn't been anywhere for a week. As Jordan wanted, Clarabelle just stayed home. Jordan went to work early in the morning, and only one night did he come home. Smells of alcohol and various perfumes every day.Clarabelle was speechless. If she asked, Jordan would only get even angrier and cursed. Harsh and vicious words would be heard, making Clarabelle even sicker. Jordan asked Clarabelle to prepare whatever he needed, but Jordan didn't touch Clarabelle at all. Jordan even asked Clarabelle to sleep elsewhere and not in their room."I probably won't be coming home today. But just watch out, if I find out you're out of the house." Jordan was wearing a suit jacket which he draped over a chair in the room."Where are you going?" Clarabelle asked quietly. Her heart cut, even more, every time she remembered Jordan coming home late at night, even in the early morning, half drunk.“Do you need to know? What for?" Jordan looked cynical. "Do you wanna know who I'm going to have fun w
