Amused, Kirsten asked with a grin, “Do you really want to know?”
She got curious on how he would react upon hearing the things he had done.
“I don’t want to repeat my mistake,” Matthew replied seriously.
“Because you were so good to me, I fell in love with you despite knowing that we would get divorce after a year. After you came back from Hawaii for a two week business trip, you confessed your love for me. And the divorce didn’t happen even after our contract was over.” Kirste paused for a while before resuming.
“However, my mom who had no idea that I was her daughter told me that you didn’t love me because I was just a pawn to prot
In the middle of the party, Kirsten looked for her parents. She was worried as they were nowhere to be found in the garden. Stepping inside the mansion, she saw her parents' back. Lucille was stroking Victor’s back gently as they were in a serious talk. Eaten up by worry, Kirsten hastened her pace. When she was close by, she asked. “Is dad not feeling well?” Simultaneously, in surprise, Victor and Lucille pivoted and looked at their daughter. “Your best friend, how did you meet her?” Victor asked, tinged with excitement. “She was my schoolmate when I was in primary school, I’m one year ahead of her. Why?” “Do you know her background?” “She came from a poor family, just like me, she too had to work multiple part time jobs to finish studies, but her case was more difficult because both her parents were sickly so she stopped her studies and worked full time so they would be in better health. But her sacrifice was wasted as both her parents died in an accident.” “Did she mention if
Despite Kirsten’s words of assurance, Sherry still felt heavy. Their food had been served and for the first time in their entire friendship, the two ate without exchanging words as both were absorbed in their own thoughts. After giving much thought about it, Sherry opened her mouth right away when she was done with her meal. “Last month, dad’s sister came to see me. She told me that I was just an adopted child.” The photo of Anya holding a baby girl which they made her believe to be her photo when she was a day old was actually Anya and Morgan's true daughter. The child was not in a good condition so she stayed in the hospital but the child died after a week. After the news of the child’s death, Morgan didn’t know what to do because he couldn’t tell his wife. Anya had a weak constitution and he couldn’t risk her health. He hid the child’s death for a week but soon Anya began to ask why the child wasn't discharged yet. One night, going home after work, he saw a small box under the l
Inside Victor’s study, Kirsten and Sherry were sitting side by side on the couch and across from them were Victor and Lucille while Xenia was seated on the single sofa chair. Her eyes were glued at her spitting image, her heart leaping. No wonder she didn’t feel anything at Victoria when she held her in her arms.“This is the result of the paternity test.” Victor passed the envelope to Sherry. Looking at the result, Kirsten hugged Sherry. “You are my sister!”Taken by surprise, Sherry couldn’t react for a while. Kirsten shook her and happily said, “Did you hear me, you are my sister!”Sherry blinked her eyes, tears rolling down her cheeks. “I’m happy, we’re sisters!”
“My love, I am going to meet a client tonight at Duke’s Table in the Westin Hotel.” Kirsten said to Matthew over the phone. “Alright, I’ll call mom to let Mark stay with her. I also have a meeting tonight.” Matthew answered. They exchanged sweet nothings over the phone before they finally terminated the call. Getting ready, Kirsten picked up her handbag. Kirsten arrived at the restaurant but her client was not there yet. A waiter came near and asked, “Do you want to order now, madam?” “Give me an orange juice for now.” Kirsten said while she looked at her wristwatch. The waiter came back with an orange juice. “Thanks.” She took a sip on the orange juice. “If she doesn't show up after I drink this orange juice, I’ll leave.” Kirsten called the waiter and settled her bill. When her card was returned to her. Kirsten got up and left the restaurant. By the time she arrived in front of the elevator, she felt dizzy. She opened and closed her eyes in a rapid succession to ward off the d
Matthew looked up and said tenderly, “Don’t come down, I’ll go there.”“I’ll get going, Mr Roosevelt.” Matthew nodded and climbed the stairs while his eyes were locked at Kirsten’s teary eyes.Soon as he stood before her, she encircled his waist with her arms. “I want to be there when they investigate the perpetrator.”Matthew didn’t refuse. Facing it would show to whoever wanted to harm them that they did not succeed.“That’s my woman. You are very brave.” Matthew stroked her hair gently.“Your love is my strength,” Kirsten said whi
It was a new thing for James to see a young lady who paid no attention to her appearance just to make a child stop crying. He was really impressed.Out of many people in the airport, why did she run into James? Donna felt a piercing pain in her heart, seeing the little girl in James’s arms. This woke up Donna from her dream. She and James were impossible, he has his own family. She should forget him. A product of a broken family herself, she didn’t want to be a homewrecker.To ward off the awkwardness, Donna said, “You have a cute daughter.”“Thanks!” James replied with a smile. Should this smile had been given to her before, Donna would be very happy. The fact that he was already married, Donna felt like his smile was a
Uneasiness filled James' chest while looking at Donna’s figure getting further and further as she took steps forward. Involuntary, he took steps towards the woman walking away. Before he could stop his impulse, he found himself already walking side by side with her. “Miss, what’s your name?” Abruptly, Donna stopped walking but Hunter did not stop. Donna didn’t want him to get loose again and had tied the leash around her hand. Hunter was a huge Tibetan Mastiff, when he didn’t stop and kept walking, Donna’s hand was pulled and lost her balance. James quickly reached out to stop the fall but Hunter, who was uncharacteristically naughty at that time, ran. This caused Donna’s arm to be tugged forcefully sending both her and James onto the ground. Accidentally, Donna’s lips settled on James’ neck as she laid on top of him. The amount of heat coursing through her face was enough to turn Donna’s face crimson red. Sensing that he could no longer move. Hunter stopped and looked back.
A man helping tuck a woman’s hair behind her ear was a sign he had some sort of feeling for her. Confident that she was able to bewitch James, she relaxed even when she caught James stealing glances at the woman on the other table.Not until the time James drove her home. Nelly was about to leave a kiss on James' cheek when he avoided it.“You are an excellent woman and I, on the other hand, is a single father. You deserve a better man.”Standing face to face with the man who had put an end to her expectation last night, Nelly couldn’t help but feel resentful with the woman beside him. The woman’s small hand was wrapped in James’ big hand.Donna shuddered a
