Shortly after, the car came to a stop a short distance from them. Ron stepped out of the car; he was by himself. He held an umbrella in hand and walked toward the villa. Upon reaching the front door, he looked around suspiciously before pushing the door open. Someone had been waiting inside for him the entire time. The moment he pushed the door open, a woman was revealed. She excitedly threw herself into Ron’s arms as soon as the door was opened. The two behaved like a pair of a couple that had been reunited after an indeterminable length of separation. It was as if they were mimicking the scenes commonly seen in romantic movies. It would have made for a wonderful scene if not for Ron’s bulging belly and unsightly appearance. Stalking from a short distance, Sherry and Lisa watched as Ron kissed the young woman in his arms, then went into the house with his arms wrapped around her. Sherry felt a wave of chill and goosebumps crawling on her skin. She turned to Lisa and
One of Anne’s bodyguards came charging in and promptly helped Anne up from the ground. Ron was going to continue charging Anne but wisely took a step back when he saw the bodyguard stepping up to defend her. Anne pressed a hand over her stomach and groaned in pain. Her voice was a hoarse rattle as she said, "Ron...you kicked me...you dare kick me for a woman like her..." Ron spoke with utter detest, “Don’t you dare insult her! She’s nothing like a foul woman like you! I would have dumped you a million years ago if not for your wealth and status!" Such a hateful declaration came as a shock to Anne. Ron would have given anything to punch her right in the face, but the rational part of his mind prevented him from acting on impulse. After all, she was the esteemed madam of the Sagers and held a majority of the shares of the corporation. He swallowed his rage and put on a benevolent act to save face. “Here’s what I propose: I will be willing to forgive you if you let go of
She picked herself off the ground and crawled over to Anne where she began to beg, “Mrs. Sager, it’s all my fault. Blame it all on me. I never should have fallen in love with Ron. I never should have been together with him in the first place. If you’re going to punish someone, let it be me, but please, please have mercy on my children and Ron!” Inside the car, Lisa scoffed with stark disdain, “She's fallen in love with Ron? As if anybody would believe that.” Sherry held her tongue. This ex-secretary of Ron was truly something. Her tearful outburst incited Ron further, so his hatred for Anne had grown to an unprecedented degree. If he could, he would have killed Anne with his bare hands right then and there. “Willow, get up!" He shouted as he approached the mistress hastily. The mistress was drenched in tears by this point. She collapsed weakly in his arms and whimpered, “Ron, I don't want to lose my children. I don't want anything to happen to you..." Ron embraced h
Outside the villa, Ron was just about to choke the life out of Anne when a crew of large bodyguards surrounded him. He was visibly jolted. Before he could react to the situation, he heard someone speak in a low, commanding voice, “Take the girl.” The person speaking was referring to Willow, Ron’s ex-secretary mistress. The bodyguards sprang to the task immediately and apprehended her. Willow cried out, her voice filled with panic, “Ron, help!” Carl commanded sharply, “Strangle her.” The bodyguard complied. Blood rushed to Willow’s face as the bodyguard wrapped his arms around her neck. She began to whimper helplessly as she stared at Ron with her eyes widened. Carl stepped forward, stopping between Willow and Ron. He glanced at Anne who was near passing out by this point. Then, he smiled tauntingly and asked, “Ron, why don’t we find out who can finish the job faster?” Ron was horrified and furious. He roared, "Carl! Let Willow go!" Carl tucked his hands in
"Ron is the only one who would believe that you love him.” Carl took a step back. He wore an amused look on his face the entire time but it was clear that there was nothing but stark disdain in his eyes as he looked at the mistress. "Don't look at me like that. I’ve seen countless types of women and you’re the type that I hate the most.” Willow froze and did not know how to respond. Carl ignored her, then he turned around and went toward the parking lot. Anne had brought the two children to her car. Ron, on the other hand, was carried into Carl’s car. Two of his bodyguards carried him and shoved him into the backseat. Carl was not in any particular hurry to leave. As he slowly approached his car, he shot a casual glance at a stationary vehicle parked nearby. He made eye contact with Sherry through the car windows. He winked at her. Sherry jerked backward. With that, Carl got into his car. Soon, both his car and Anne's drove out of the compound. After
Sherry wore a quiet frown. She briskly opened the door and stepped inside the house with Caprice in her arms. John followed her into the house with the food in hand. He placed the container on the table and opened it, releasing the aroma of the food into the house. He turned to Sherry and repeated the same thing. “Caprice ordered these for you, come on and eat.” Caprice urged her to eat as well. “Mommy, it’s very tasty, come on and eat it!” Sherry hesitated briefly, then she approached with Caprice still in her arms. John noticed her apprehension and immediately stepped away from the dining table and retreated to the couch in the living room. Sherry sat down at the dining table with Caprice on her lap. It was a gourmet meal with a vast variety of seafood, chicken, and pork ribs. Aside from that, Caprice even ordered drinks and dessert that she knew her mother would like. The food was mouth-watering. Even though Caprice already ate, she still gulped when sh
Sherry woke up at the crack of dawn before the alarm went off. She woke up with an irritable feeling in her chest. The accumulated emotions from yesterday had carried over. She got out of bed, showered, and dressed as usual. When Caprice woke up, she helped Caprice shower and helped her dress as well. With that, she led Caprice outside. John was already waiting for them by the entrance as usual. When he noticed the pair stepping out of the house, he greeted them with a warm and charming smile, "Morning." ‘Morning my *ss!’ Sherry shot an unnecessarily rude glare at him, then she continued trotting away without acknowledging him. John grimaced and followed. They went to Caprice’s favorite breakfast place. Sherry sat down and put Caprice on her lap. John went to order food for them before joining them at the table. “You look like you’re in a bad mood. Did you not sleep well last night?" he asked innocently. Caprice made a look at him, sensing that he
Without Ron, Aiden, and Caden around, there was a marked improvement in terms of work efficiency throughout the company. This improvement was not only seen in Sherry’s department but in other departments as well. Lisa and Carl rarely showed up over the next few days as they were busy dealing with the aftermath of the scandal. Sherry only saw Lisa once over the next two days and never saw Carl at all. Fortunately, the details of the two projects he signed on had been worked out. The departments were coordinating as they should and things were progressing smoothly. Sherry returned to her usual routine. She would go to work every day and return home on time where she would spend time with Caprice before they went to bed. She hardly paid any attention to John. This evening, Sherry left the office as usual after she finished up her work for the day. She drove past several junctions and swerved into the apartment compound where she lived. After she got out of the car, sh
