CHAPTER 70
I looked myself in the mirror while wearing the clothes that Farris gave to me. I frowned when I realized that these clothes doesn't suits me in anyway. It was a huge shirt and loose pants. I looked like a damn street dancer! And Farris told me that we're going to stroll around the place?
Farris went out of the bathroom wearing his robe. His hair is still wet from the shower. I glared at him the moment I saw him. He raised his brows at me and surveyed the clothes on me.
"Stop glaring at me," he said with a smirk on his lips. I frowned more. I can't believe that it's all making him amused!
"Do you think that these clothes you gave me are my kind of dresses?" I said with sarcasm. He chuckled and opened the closet to find himself a shirt.
"I don't have any girl's clothes inside my closet Millijay. It's only for a day anyway," he said. I stamp my feet and marched towards the bed to sit.
"I don't like this, Farris! People will see me i
CHAPTER 71WARNING: MATURE CONTENT!Like what we had plan yesterday we prepared going to the beach. Farris bought me a bikini and I just cover myself with see through dress.Farris was still preparing for our dinner when I went out of the beach. We will having night swimming! I saw the sun lounger with bonfire in the middle of it. Maybe Farris already prepared it for us when he went out earlier. I sat down in the sun lounger and lifted my eyes to the night sky. There's so many stars above and I can't help but to be amazed by them. The wind touched my skin as I watched the stars shined above.I always dream to be with Farris like this. Without problems and or any struggles. I will always wish for the night like this with him. And this days and nights with him will always be treasured in my mind, heart and soul.I was distracted by watching the stars when someone put a small table in front of us. I looked down and saw Farris placing the table with th
CHAPTER 72I won't ever forget that night with Farris. I can't help the wide smile stifling on my lips the whole time we traveled back towards the city. Farris was holding my hand while Tyron is driving the car on our way home.I rested my head on Farris shoulder and closed my eyes."You're sleepy?" He asked in a whisper. I smiled."You made me sleep late last night Farris," I said. He chuckled in his baritone and played my fingers intertwined with his."I'm sorry. I just can't get enough of you..." he whispered sensually. I chuckled and just rested comfortably on his shoulder. I feel like it was all a dream.The security guards of our gate opened up for Farris' car. The car stopped in front of the mansion. I turned to Farris when Tyron opened the door for us."You have to rest the whole day. I'll call you later," he said. I nodded but when I think about his meeting with his father I can't help but to ask my concern."What abou
CHAPTER 73I told him about my problems. I told him about my grandfather and my fights with mom. I told him all of it and I was like a child informing her parents and to ask for comfort.I was leaning on Farris' chest while in front of us is the sunset. The wind is touching our skin and making us feel fresh. Farris' arms are encircled around my waist while I am in his middle."Am I wrong Farris? Is it wrong? I know that mom is just worried about her father...but I feel like she already forget the evil things that grandpa did to my father!" I said."Your feelings are valid Millijay," he whispered. I sighed in relief. I know that in this world you can't move on without forgiveness but what if I am still not yet ready? Everything is still new to me. Everything are still painful to me."But why mom couldn't understand my side?" I asked."Because she wants you to forgive...""But I am not yet ready to forgive!" My tone went higher. He kiss
CHAPTER 74This is my first time that I get serious in my work. This project I am holding right now is about an advertisement for our new venture market. I have to think about an unique way to advertise this market.I checked the time and it was almost 5 in the afternoon. I turned off my phone earlier because Farris was been calling me. I know that any minute now I will just see Farris in my door. I am now thinking for an explanation if Farris would interrogate me. I have to explain to Farris my situation and to make him understand that this is the problem I have to solve on my own.I was in my deep thinking when the intercom rang."What?" I asked."Ma'am...someone is asking for you. It's Mr. Farris Carter," Jonathan said. I sighed. As expected."Let him in," I said.I sighed heavily as the door opened and there I saw Farris with his dark and serious face. He looks a bit mad and irritated."Farris!" I stood up and went to him t
CHAPTER 75"You know that it won't work right?" I asked back. His preposition is tempting. I really want to be with him alone. Without any problems and just happiness with him. I want all of that. He sighed as he heard my answer.He didn't say anything anymore and just gave me a hug. It makes me awake for the whole night. I want to make it up to Farris but...my responsibility for my dearest company makes me think twice. I don't want my auntie to interfere with our business. I know that she wants it now because she has nothing to do with grandpa anymore because grandpa's bank accounts is now in a delicate level. His company is also almost bankrupt. Auntie might be thinking that Hepburn is also in their mercy. I won't give up this company. Dad built it on his own strength and perseverance. I won't let that go to waste.Morning came next and I saw mom eating her breakfast in the dining. She is now wearing her formal attire. She was sipping her coffee when I sat dow
CHAPTER 76I was so fuming mad when I entered my room. I feel like exploding in so much frustration and anger. Aside from being so mad about this I am so disappointed that mom chose this path. She literally forget me, my dad, all of it. Because she wanted to fix her family so much she can sacrifice me in order to be successful for it. And I can't believe that she can do that. I can believe that she can forget me.All I think about was protecting her...but she's doing the wrong way that makes my heart hurting.I swallowed hard as I opened my closet and searched for my luggage. My tears really wants to flow but I am trying so hard to stop it from falling. I don't want to cry. It will be just a waste of time.I put some of my clothes inside, especially the formal clothes. After packing my things I opened my door to leave but I saw mom standing in front of my door. I baled my fist and looked away. I was about to walk past her when she held my wrist to stop me
CHAPTER 77I tried so hard to act normal in front of Farris when we have our breakfast. I smiled and laughed normally with him but deep inside me I am fuming. I can't wait to face mom and talk to her."Farris..." I called him while he is in the middle of driving. We're on our way towards the Carter's but I have other plans for today."What is it?" He asked. I looked at him and saw his perfectly angled jaw."I want to visit mom. Can I? I'll go back this afternoon, I promise." I said. He looked at me but his eyes go back in front immediately because he's driving."Is there a problem?" He asked. I stopped and bit my lower lip. I can't believe that he can quickly sense if I have problems or not. Am I too obvious?"No. I just want to talk mom," I said. He stopped the car in the Hepburn's building. I waved at him goodbye before entering the hall. When the elevator opened in the right floor I saw Jonathan busy with his works. I walked towards him a
CHAPTER 78Under the white sheets over the bed Farris was embracing me so tight while I can't keep my eyes from the ring on my finger. I can't believe I am wearing it right now. I can't believe that Farris is now going to marry me. Damn! I am so happy I could flip over this bed because of being grateful and happy!"You keep staring at your finger..." he told me. I chuckled and lifted my eyes on him."Because it has the ring you gave me. I still can't believe that I am your fiance now," I said happily. He chuckled and hugged me tighter. I stifled a smile and hugged him back. I am very sure of him. He is the only man I can trust with my whole life. He is the man I want to spend my whole life with. If he isn't the man then I wouldn't marry in this lifetime. It will always be him."Really? Then why didn't you answer me immediately? You looked unsure Millijay," his tone was suspicious. I laughed and pinched his cheek. He immediately glared at me and pulled dow
EPILOGUE (The last part)"Damn! Where is she?" I said frustratingly as I search for Millijay. I opened the last door and saw the rope scattered into the ground. There's also a chair in the middle of the room. My heart beat louder."Millijay...was here," I slowly said. I roamed around my eyes in all the corners of the room."Let's go!" I shouted and run outside. Damn! Millijay is gone but I am sure that she was here! She was there in that room!"Is there a back door here?" I asked. Damn! I don't know why but why are my hands so cold?"I saw that door earlier," Tyron said and guided me towards that door. Without further ado I ran outside that door and tall trees and tall grass welcomed me. I gritted my teeth as I saw a drop of blood in one of the grass."It's Millijay's blood," I said grittily. Damn it! She escaped? Damn it! Darn it! Why is it so fucking messy? I know that she should've escape but...why does it have to be now? No
EPILOGUE (Part 3)FARRIS GABRIEL CARTERShe finally accepted me again. Hearing her words that she wants me too is like a heaven to me. It makes me feel at ease. It makes me at peace and having her in my arms is a resting place for me."When will you getting married Farris? You're not getting any younger," Dad told me one fine afternoon when I visit his office. I sat down on his chair and stared at my phone. I visit dad's office because Millijay went to her mother's office. I don't want to work alone in my office. It was like I am already used to have Millijay by my side while I am working."Tss..." I just snorted and closed my eyes. I am getting suspiscious with Millijay's actions nowadays. I know that she have problems with her mother but she doesn't want to talk it out with me. She always want to keep it to herself."I suggest you buy a ring already. Millijay is also in her age to marry..." dad tried again."
EPILOGUE (Part 2)FARRIS GABRIEL CARTERBeing on the top wasn't easy. You always have to be smart and looking wise for the others so they won't look down on you. It is lucky for me that I am the only heir of one of the huge companies in the country and even the world. I must say that I lived this life easily but to remain on that top wasn't easy. Dad must stay late at night so that he can work and managed the company. He always have to go business trip to strengthen the company and expand its wealth.Dad sacrificed everything to be on the top and for everyone to respect us. I grew up with the thinking that I will be like my dad someday because my future is already pre-determined. I will be the future Chairman of that company and will continue our empire and wealth until the next generation.That's why when I found Lauren Hill after I build my own name and own company I thought it is also my obligation as a man to marry someone even though
EPILOGUE (Part 1)FARRIS GABRIEL CARTERI gritted my teeth as I heard Millijay's mom crying on the other line giving me the news that Millijay is gone. I baled my fist as I stared at my office door. I was busy connecting with the police so that Jenny Martinez will be caught so I had to warn Millijay and her mother to stay in the house. I gritted my teeth."Damn it!" I hit the table in front of me. If something happened to Millijay I will fucking kill all the people who are involved with this."Sir...the police are already searching for her-""Give me the keys Tyron," I cut him off. My anger are over to the roof that I can flip this table in front of me any minute now."Here..." he put down the keys on the table so I stood up and got the keys. I will fucking find Millijay on my own. I can't just sit here and wait for the news! Damn it!"Sir...I just want you to know that there's someone is watching you through the snip
CHAPTER 80.2I opened my eyes and unfamiliar place filled my eyes. My vision was still blurry but I can feel my hands and foot tied together."You're now awake..." a familiar voice of a woman filled my ears. And when my vision get clearer I saw auntie with her elegant black dress while holding a cigarette on her finger."Where...am I?!" I shouted as hatred crawl my system. I'm gonna kill her! Damn her!"You're in a place that even the young Carter won't find you," she said with her usual evil voice. I gritted my teeth and glared at her. If a glare can kill her she probably dead by now!"Damn you! Let go of me!" I shouted and squirmed my body. She smirked."Not until your fiance handled me the money I asked of him," she said. My eyes widened. I blinked twice. So...Farris already knew that I was abducted?! Darn it!"You evil bitch! I'm gonna fucking kill you asshole-" I stopped when she pointed a gun towards me. I was stunned and shocke
CHAPTER 80.1My heart is beating loudly while I am inside of the taxi. I can't text Ben to fetch me anymore because I have to be fast. I am now going to our house hoping that mom was there. I can't let auntie ruin us.Jonathan Hill. I thought he was a good guy. I thought that he can be trusted. I didn't know that he will betray us like this. But...how did he knew my auntie? I didn't know. I just know that they are now accomplice. Maybe it's because of money. I sighed and turned off my phone for the meantime."Thank you!" I paid the driver and hurriedly walked towards the mansion. The security guards open the gate for me. I was breathing heavily when I entered the mansion. I checked the dining if mom was there but there's no one there. So I decided to go upstairs and checked her room but she also wasn't there. Damn! Where is she?"Ma'am? Are you searching for something?" A maid approached me. I sighed and nodded quickly."Is mom here? Did she come h
CHAPTER 79"It's good that you both decide to marry. We've been expecting the both of you to get married before this year ends?" Chairman Adamson started while the maids are preparing the foods for us. My eyes lifted to auntie and she was just serious the whole time."We didn't started to plan yet dad. We'll talk about it," Farris said and took a gaze on me. I am not mad with Farris but I am not in the mood to look at him. I felt betrayed in some ways. I don't want auntie here. She wasn't supposed to be here. She is not my family!"I hope it will be sooner..." Chairman Adamson chuckled lightly. I smiled at him to ease my tension. I don't want to make him feel that I am uncomfortable."Are you surprise that your mother and auntie is here? I contacted them after Farris told me that you both wanted a dinner with me and told me that you're both engage now. I hope you won't take it the wrong way?" Chairman Adamson said.So...Farris really didn't know a
