Matthew opened the car door and said, “Get in the car!”

Overjoyed that she wasn’t ignored by Matthew, Vanessa hurriedly entered the car.

“Drive!” Matthew barked.

“Where to sir?” Tony asked in confusion. They were supposed to pick the missus in the hospital. Did his boss plan to introduce his ex - girlfriend to his wife? He had not seen Vanessa all these years and her sudden appearance confused him.

“Just drive and don’t stop until I say so.” Matthew barked, Vanessa who was brimming with happiness felt the chill crept in her heart.

Matthew lifted the privacy partition but did not turn it into opaque as he didn’t want Tony to have a wrong idea.

“How many times, I told you not to waste your time on me? There’s no more hope for us, no matter what you do. This is my last warning to you, Vanessa. I will completely make your family lose everything. And you have to say goodbye to the life you are enjoying.”

“Are there really no chances for us to get back together?” Vanessa asked softly.

    In the middle of the dinner, Kirsten caught sight of Vanessa from afar. Having noticed that Kirsten was looking elsewhere, Matthew asked with a frown. “Who are you looking at?” “The woman I met this afternoon. She told me that her boyfriend, in order to protect her, got engaged to a woman his family had chosen for him.” A noticeable repulsion flashed in her eyes which was not lost on him. Realizing the similarity of the story to his, Matthew turned his head and looked at the direction Kirsten was looking at and saw Vanessa. “Call of nature,” Matthew said while he stood. In a haste he headed to the restroom and called the bodyguards following them discreetly and barked an instruction. Seeing that Vanessa was in panic when intercepted by two men in black suits, Kirsten went over to check what was happening. “I don’t know you, why would I come with you!” Vanessa answered sharply, trying to push her way out of the men but they held her arms. “Hey, what are you doing to her?” Kirsten

    Lucille nodded her head, took back the check and left without a back glance. Gillian sighed and went to pay, after which she hailed a cab to their new apartment. Inferring that the environment and surroundings of their previous apartment wasn’t safe, Matthew managed to persuade Gillian to move into this new and luxury apartment that was near Knox’s school. It was a six bedroom apartment, equipped with a huge living room and kitchen hence, Kirsten urged Klaire and her husband, Wilson to move in with Gillian and Knox. Again under Matthew’s persuasion the couple moved in with Gillian. And then he gave Klaire and Wilson a job in one of his company subsidiaries just one bus ride away from the apartment. One by one Gillian put away the items she bought in the supermarket. Just as she finished with her task, Knox arrived from school. Knox was startled when Gillian hugged him tightly and kissed his cheeks. The last time Gillian hugged and kissed him like this was before the surgery. “W

    Matthew’s handsome face morphed into a terrifying look as his eyes caught sight of the pale looking woman standing by the bedside obviously in shock.Then his eyes switched to the old man lying on the hospital bed. “If you are done punishing my wife. Arrange someone to look after you.” He walked towards Kirsten, then held her hand. “You’re tired of looking after him the entire day.” “Who informed you?” Kirsten asked. “Still don't know, wife?” Matthew gently pinched her cheek. “Ninjas!” Kirsten called the men stealthy guarding them, Ninjas. “Let’s go,” Matthew pulled her gently but she remained in her place. “You still wanted to look after him?” Matthew asked, raising a brow. “No, I wouldn’t dare stay another second. I’m afraid my presence would only cause grandpa’s health to deteriorate. But make sure that someone will take care of him.”“Alright,” Matthew nodded and went outside to make a call. A cleaner came in a minute after the couple went out. Caring for a cranky old man

    Kirsten’s lips twitched. She wanted to ask what his son and daughter - in law were doing, but held her peace. “You're unwilling, aren't you?” Norman said, sneering. Kirsten smiled and said, “I will handle the discharge procedure, grandpa.” Norman was sleeping when Don arrived in the hospital. “Thank you, madam. No one could stand the temper of the old sir except you.” Don said quietly. Kirsten responded with a giggle. “The doctor gave a go signal that it’s alright to take him home. Anyway, I have to go.” In the corridor, Kirsten was surprised to meet James. Her heart constricted looking at the man who shed a few pounds, looking thinner. But the man still looked handsome and could turn heads. “James?” Looking into her best friend’s eyes, Kirsten could see grief surrounding him. “What happened?” She held his hand and took him to the nearby bench. “Dad, dad… he’s dead.” Though he shed no tears, his sorrow bled in his voice. Wordlessly, Kirsten consoled James, holding

    “Shut up!” James hollered. “You know nothing!” James darted his gaze to his bodyguard and barked. “Take her home.” At once two bodyguards dragged Jenny out of the funeral home. “Pathetic, you are pathetic, James! Loving a hooker like her," Jenny yelled while pointing her finger at Kirsten. “Stop right there!” Matthew had enough. He wouldn’t let Kirsten humiliated. “Apologize to my wife.” Matthew ordered. Jenny was stunned at the revelation but her stubbornness and pride made her callous. She would never apologize to her. “Over my dead body! I will never apologize to a whore. She's a nobody, a woman who sells her body." “Then, see you in court,” Matthew's countenance gave a hint of the brewing tempest. “What’s happening here?” Graciella Lincoln heard Matthew as she stepped into the hall. “Mr Roosevelt!” Graciella smiled at him. In their circle everyone knew who Matthew Roosevelt was and it’s impossible for her not to recognize him. But when her eyes settled on the woman in

    As Kirsten and Matthew made their way further into the hall, Graciella, while talking to one of Lincoln's family friends, caught sight of them. "Excuse me for a while, I'll come back in a bit," she said and strode off to Matthew and Kirsten after the person nodded. Though feeling embittered, Graciella wore a smile on her face. "Mr Roosevelt… " Graciella paused for a moment and continued despite the niggling feeling she had. "Mrs Roosevelt." As though they had talked about it, in synchrony, Matthew nodded their head and said, "Mrs Lincoln." The exchange between them was watched by the people inside the hall. Following Graciella's lead, Matthew and Kirsten took the front seat and then left them, seemingly restless. The people who had witnessed the whole fiasco the night before began to rethink if Jenny's statement was true. "Looking for him?" Matthew's jealous voice rang in her ears when her eyes scanned the place looking for James. Like a child caught stealing a candy,

    The car was dark but Matthew could sense the apprehension coming from Kirsten. He leaned and said in a low voice. “If you aren’t ready to conceive yet, I won’t force you.” Kirsten was still young and he was not in a hurry to have a child. They have to strengthen their bond before welcoming a child together. Significantly, Kirsten's highly strung body relaxed in his arms. “Thank you, Matthew.” When they came back home after a two week holiday in Norway, Kirsten was occupied with many cases while Matthew was expanding overseas and was always on business trips. She and Matthew barely spent time together except during the nights when sleeping together. This went on for nearly two months. One evening after a tiring work, as Kirsten was dragging her exhausted body into the penthouse, Matthew was rushing towards her. Kirsten was taken aback at the urgency in his face. “Something’s wrong?” She grabbed Matthew’s wrist to stop him. “I have to go for a business trip,” Matthew kissed

    After being discharged from the hospital, Kirsten and Matthew flew back home. The time she was confined in the hospital, Kirsten was able to think about her relationship with Matthew. What a fool she was. To begin with, she and Matthew entered a year-long contract marriage. Why didn’t she thoroughly think about Matthew’s behavior towards Monalisa? He married her not to make Monalisa jealous. Lucille was right; she was just a chess piece in the hand of Matthew, protecting his beloved. It wasn’t surprising he was such a legendary tycoon, he was a prodigy at manipulating a situation to his advantage and this was a classic example. At the thought of being played, Kirsten wanted to get revenge. “Here for breakfast?” His voice was casual, light even but his eyes roamed over her small figure almost hungrily, taking in every single detail of her face and figure which is getting rounder because of her pregnancy. They had been living past each other for nearly one month, with Kirsten de

He loves me and would never hurt me.” James lovingly looked down at the petite woman in his arms. “I won’t allow anyone to bully my woman, including her brother.” “Lovey dovey!” Kirsten mutter of amusement blossomed into an enormous belly laugh. The two women were affected by Kirsten infectious laughter and started to laugh with her, leaving the two men watching their own woman blushed as they laughed. At the end of their laughter, the corners of the three women’s eyes were stained with tears.

    Five days had passed since Matthew left but Kirsten hadn’t received a call or message from him. She attempted to call but the line was always busy. The mounting pressure of getting substantial evidence to exonerate her mom and the doubt floating in her mind was taking their toll on Kirsten's emotional and physical health. Good thing that Mark was there to cheer his mother up, alleviating the anxiety she was feeling. She had the feeling that what happened years ago was going to happen again. Was this history repeating itself? The following day, as usual, Kirsten made a little progress and was frustrated that she couldn’t get evidence to prove that someone impersonated her mom. She believed her mom had not met Gustaff apart from the day of Mark’s birthday party. Nevertheless, she had to present concrete evidence to refute the allegation against Lucille. To have some breather, Kirsten left the study to the garden, and strolled. After some time, she went back as she stepped into the man

    Before the sun set, Matthew’s car stopped at the courtyard. He was held up and didn’t manage to come home as planned because of some company matters. Upon informing her that he can’t keep her company, though Kirsten didn’t make it difficult for him, he heard the disappointment in her tone. Eager to see Kirsten, Matthew opened the car door, not wasting a moment. With large steps, he walked to the mansion. Gemma had just come out of the study at the time Matthew arrived at the door of the study. “How is she?” Matthew asked quietly. “She hadn’t stopped working since after she took a stroll after lunch,” Gemma informed him, Matthew nodded, holding the door handle, with a click he pushed the door. Absorbed in her work, Kirsten didn’t hear the clicking sound and kept her eyes trained on the screen of her MacBook. From where he stood, he could see her side profile. Silently he watched her with a smile hovering his lips. Matthew cleared his throat to get her attention and Kirsten whiske

    Caught between a rock and a hard place, Kirsten massaged her temple. She didn’t want to disappoint her half sister but her mom needed her too. What should she do? “Where are you now?” Kirsten asked and let out a sigh. Discussing such a crucial thing with her sister over the phone felt not right for her. She decided to talk to her in person. “Just disembarked from the plane,” Sherry answered, sighing. “I will head to the police and see Gustaff.” “Come and see me after you speak with Gustaff.” Fatigue laced Kirsten’s voice as she spoke but Sherry did not notice it because she was preoccupied with Gustaff’s matter. “Alright, I’ll see you then,” Sherry said and slid the end call button. Without being asked, Matthew drew Kirsten to him and had her prop her body on his hard chest and surrounded her in his arms. “Take a nap. I will wake you up when we’re home,” Matthew whispered in her ear and pressed his lips on her temple. “Mm,” humming, she shut her eyes though she had no plan on ta
