Kirsten bit her lower lip to stop herself from sobbing. To shield her eyes from seeing the image of the two from the side mirror, she cast her gaze down her lap. “Take me to Horizon Residences,” Kirsten said. Not in the position to speak about the situation, Tony swallowed his words and just gave Kirsten a sympathetic gaze. He was wondering how she could cope with the situation. Tony noticed the familiar car tailing them and surreptitiously reduced his speed. As they stopped at a red light and waited for the green light, the rear passenger door opened and a man in a gray suit slid into the car. At once Kirsten scooted further to the other end of the car avoiding Matthew. Chuckling, he reached out and pulled her in his warm embrace as she tried to open the car door. But, Tony had locked it to avoid an accident. “Let go!” Kirsten forcefully said moving erratically out of his hold. “Careful, you are pregnant, wife,” Matthew placed his hand over her stomach, stopping her from m

She eagerly waited for Gillian and Knox to appear, but her smile faded when she saw Lucille coming. Nevertheless, there was a lingering smile plastered on her face all because of her brother, Gavin. Kirsten had a good impression about the kid and held no aversion towards him. “How are you doing now?” Lucille said gently but Kirsten could not feel her sincerity. Unlike Gillian, even without words and only her gaze, she could feel how she loved her. Nevertheless, she did not act rude to her. Though she had abandoned her, she still gave her life. “I’m good,” Kirsten answered with a small voice and then looked at her brother. Her eyes reddened looking at him and took a sharp breath to stop herself from shedding tears. “How are you, Gavin?” Kirsten asked with a little tremor in her voice. “I’m fine, thank you for asking,” Gavin answered shyly. Kirsten wished their circumstances were different. The complicated relationship between them was making it difficult for Kirsten to show

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.

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.

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
