During her car ride back to her condo, Cleo was busy thinking about Luke and the woman. ‘Luke said she is his business partner, it means Lily knew about her. I’ll ask her!’ She thought As soon as she arrived at her condo, she went to her bedroom and put her belongings. She took her phone and made a call to Lilian.
“Hi Lily,”
“I wonder if you want to grab lunch with me tomorrow? There’s something I wanna talk about,”
“Alright! I’ll see you at Nobu Downtown. Night!”
Cleo went silent, she regretted not asking directly, why need to wait till tomorrow. She tried her luck by going to Google, typed ‘Lucas Miller business’. After going into one to another article, she retyped it
“How’s the meeting?” Lily quickly asked as soon as William opened their bedroom doorWilliam smiled, he walked to the bed where Lily laid on, he sat on the edge of the bed. “It went well! In a short period, I got many new contracts. Thanks to Luke for helping me with this!”“But, more importantly, thanks to you honey. You help my family. I am so grateful to have you!” William added as he landed a kiss on Lily’s forehead“I’m happy! This is good for us, hopefully your new business goes well, so we don’t need to depend on Luke anymore.”‘No way! I’ll make Luke pour, pour and pour all his wealth to you, to us! With that I’ll be back stronger and people won’t mock the
‘Luke, I’m pregnant!’‘Luke, I’m pregnant!’‘Luke, I’m pregnant!’That’s words keep playing on Luke’s head.‘How come she got pregnant?’‘She was on birth control. I always use condoms too. Except one night, the night that I don’t even remember clearly’‘Is she trying to trap me?’‘Oh no! What I’ve thought…..’ Luke quickly got rid of his thoughtsIt’s been weeks since he heard those words for the first time from Cleo. He was
‘Honey, I love you!’ Stephanie saw Martin’s message on the phone. It was sent half an hour ago. She was spending time with the twins in the garden and didn’t notice Martin sent a message.‘Why did he send me a text like this?’ She was wonderingShe decided to press a call button and waited for Martin to answer her call. However, Martin didn’t pick up. She suddenly felt uneasy. She tried to call him again and he didn’t pick up. Then, she decided to call Jacob and strange, he also didn’t pick it up.‘What happened?’She tried again to call them and still no answer, then she decided to call Nathan and ask for help to track them. Hours had passed and Stephanie became more worried. She was abo
Yoan stood near the window. He stared deeply at the police report on the table. He recalled the time Martin made a call to him.‘Do you remember your promise to take care of Stephanie?’‘I might ask you to fulfil it sooner than I expect!’Yoan thoughts wandered, he was curious, Martin said that as if he knew something would happen to him. Again, Yoan remembered what Martin had said before, ‘Wild world, where we’re living on’ and somehow he thought maybe it isn’t just a normal car accident.‘How if it is a murder attempt?’‘Should I investigate it more?’‘Should I tell Nathan and Rei abo
News about Martin’s death was everywhere and became headlines in major newspapers. Furthermore it affects the stock market and brings shock to his company. After Stephanie and Yoan made a press release and announced herself as the successor, the company stock fell drastically. The market is skeptical of Stephanie’s ability to handle Martin’s empire. Stephanie went back to SF with Yoan directly, she tried to avoid talking with Luke.“Don’t go!” Liam said and his words brought back Luke from his daydream“You seem to know me well!” Luke said sarcastically“Luke, your wedding date is right in the corner. Seriously, Cleo doesn’t deserve this!”Luke sighed, then Liam added “I know you&rs
I put my bag on the table and sat on the clean bed. My hand trails the empty bed. I remembered sweet memories of me and Martin spending time here, cuddling, making out and making love. It feels like it just happened yesterday, the truth is, he has already gone for a long time. I didn’t want to count it, I just told myself he was gone long enough until my tears dried.Earlier, I thought it was just a bad dream, but unfortunately it is the reality I have to face. I spent day by day waiting at home, hoping Martin would show up in front of me, but the longer I waited, the more it felt like I was daydreaming a lot. Everyone around me tried to stay strong, life must go on, while what I want is just a shoulder so I can put my head there and cry my heart out. ‘Why can I be a weak person for once? Why?’ But you know Stephanie, you have to let go of the thought about it cause the world has no
I slowly opened my eyes and what I saw in front of me was Cleo, Lily and Stephanie were fighting.“Why did you keep silent, bitch?” Lily shouted at Stephanie“Now, as your husband is dead, you want to steal another's husband?” Lily added“She is pregnant with Luke’s child, you should leave him alone! Stay away from my brother!!!”Lily was about to push away Stephanie from my side, but then my hand was able to catch her. She was surprised to look at me, so did Lily and Cleo.“Luke….” Stephanie's soft voice called me. I smiled at her as my hand squeezed her hand“Step aside, bitch!” Lily was s
“Has William arrived?” Lily asked her servant as soon as entered her house“Sir hasn’t come back madam,”She took her phone and made a call to William. “Where are you? Are you still working?”“Oh, you’re home? I thought you'd stay in SF. I went out with some friends at a bar. I’ll go home soon then,” William told Lily“Okay! I’ll be waiting,” Lily said shortly and end the callLily quickly went to the bathroom, taking a shower. Meanwhile on the other side, William got up from the bed. He walked to the bathroom, cleaning himself after having sex with Addy.“You’ll leave
