“Rose, do you think Aaron is still alive? Is it possible?” Alex put down his cutlery and looked at Rose. Suddenly he was no longer in the mood to eat.“I sincerely hope so. I just couldn’t understand the whole thing. Who sent the message to Darren, anyway?” Rose leaned against the back of her seat and tapped her slender fingers on the table.“I don’t know. Darren said the message was from the number he didn’t recognize. He was still trying to track down the message’s origin.” Back then, Hallie took Aaron away and tossed him to the ocean in front of Darren and Areiza. There was no way that he could survive.‘But could someone have intervened and saved Aaron? Who could that person be? Was it the same one who sent Darren the message? But could he or she possibly want with Darren after keeping Aaron hidden for a whole year?’ These questions were like a puzzle that Rose and Alex could not wait to solve.“We should start with some acquaintances,” Rose mumbled.“Acquaintances? Who do you mea
After Selena left in a hurry, Rose paid for the bill before leaving the cafe. And just as she walked out of the door, she ran into Hannah.Seemingly ignoring her, she walked past her and entered the king’s cafe. It was obvious she didn’t recognize who she was. Rose stopped in her tracks and looked at her back. A thought drawn on her, ‘Hannah is Hallie’s mother. Does she have anything to do with Aaron’s death? If Aaron is still alive, maybe she is the one who hid Aaron in the secret!’Rose’s hut was telling her that this guess was correct, so she decided to follow Hannah with the thought that perhaps she might be able to find some useful clues.Soon, Hannah comes out of the cafe. A black Santana stopped in front of her, and she got in.Rose started her car and followed her secretly. After a while the black Santana drove into a community. Rose got out of the car, intending to follow her in. However, the security guard stopped her, so all she could do was follow Hannah’s car with her gaz
When Areiza came out of the bathroom, she found Tia looking at her smartphone, eyes wide as saucers. Out of curiosity, she asked, “What are you looking at?”Tia looked at her; her face had turned pale as she said, “Rosy told me to tell you that she and Kenny dug up Hallie’s grave at midnight yesterday and found that Hallie’s coffin was empty.”Areiza’s heart skipped a beat and she exclaimed inwardly, ‘How is it empty? Is that damn murderer Hallie is still alive?’With a blank stare, Areiza looked at Tia and asked, “So, you have been communicating with Rosy behind my back!”“Yes, and I’m sorry about that Areiza. I forgot to tell you,” Tia put her phone away, lowering her gaze, feeling guilty.Just then her phone rang again. It sounded particularly ominous amidst their silence. Tia looked at her, too afraid to look at her phone.“Just go ahead,” Areiza said calmly.She then took out her phone from her pocket and read the contents of the message. The following second, her eyes almost pop
Kenny had been following her on these past few days. She stayed home all day, every day, and only went out for grocery shopping. So, far, he had gotten nothing useful.Feeling a bit defeated and useless, he reported to Darren.Darren ordered, “Find a way to sneak into Hannah’s house tonight and look for more clues.”“Yes, sir.”Kenny decided to get someone to help, so he called Rosy, “Rosy, I need your help with something. I will pick you up at 10:00 o’clock tonight.”“What’s up?”“We will do something big tonight?”“Alright then, I’ll see you tonight.”After hanging up with Rosy, Kenny went home to get some rest so that he would be fully charged for tonight’s mission. At 10:00, he arrived at Rosy’s doorstep. She was waiting for him at the door. Her long black hair was tied up into a ponytail. She was dressed in simple clothes and a pair of black boots. She was looking around vigilantly with her beautiful eyes. Seeing his car, she walked towards him.When Kenny got out of the car, she
Ellison called Hannah and asked her to meet her him at the cafe today. He had been waiting for a long while, but she still had not arrived. Just when he was about to dial her number, the door of the cafe opened. Hannah walked in with an inexplicable expression. Her hair was in a mess, and she looked like little panicky. She strode over to him the instant she saw him.“What happened?” Ellison asked with concern.“Someone broke into my house yesterday,” Hannah answered with a heavy breath. It seemed that she was still in a state of shock.“What? Who was it?” A dreadful feeling washed over him upon hearing her response.“I don’t know. I have no cameras in my house. When I woke up in the morning, I found that many things in my house had been moved. That person must have rummaged through my house while I was sleeping. I was scare shitless.”“Is there anything missing?”“Only my old phone. Still, I am scared. What if it happens again and this time they will do something worse.” Hannah patte
Kenny and Rosy managed to catch Ava.“Ava’s child is just the same age as Aaron. When Aaron disappeared, someone took her child away as well. Chances are, the child who fell into the sea was not Aaron!” Rosy grabbed Kenny’s hand and hoped that this would be the case.Kenny nodded at her and replied, “Ellison has also admitted that he conspired with Hannah to kill Ava’s child.At long last, the truth had come to light. Aaron was still much more alive. Kenny and Rosy both have a sigh of relief. But right now, Darren was probably the happiest of all. Now that he was certain Aaron was still alive a storm seemed to be brewing in his eyes and an unfathomable emotion appeared on his face.Ever since his child died and Areiza left, he had been living like a soulless puppet. It was only at this moment that he finally returned to his old self.“Kenny, tell the elders in the family that Aaron is still alive?” said Darren.“I’m going to Kistap to bring Aaron and Areiza back with me.”Darren’s for
Areiza was lulling her babies to sleep when suddenly her phone rang. In fear that the sound would wake the kids up, she immediately reached out to check it. Someone had sent her a message on Facebook. She clicked on the notification to see who it was, but it was anonymous. However, she knew that it was Darren. He didn’t even change his screen name and profile picture. She turned her phone off without even answering his message, and then turned around and lay on the bed. The Twins were sleeping soundly in the crib next to her. They were almost holding hands and their sound faces were flushed. The sight of them made her heart melt.But the more Areiza looked at them, the more she saw that they resembled someone. That person was the most outstanding work of God. His dashing eyebrows and starry eyes looked very similar, if not identical to the Twins.****The next morning, Areiza awoke to Dylan gently nudging her.“Areiza, I have an appointment with Darren later this day. I’m afraid you h
Areiza was wiping her clothes blankly beside the sink, thinking of how to escape from this place as soon as possible. All of a sudden, she saw Darren walking towards her from the mirror. Frightened, she turned around and stammered, “This is the ladies room. Please leave…”Ignoring her, Darren walked closer to her with a faint smile on his lips, “The lady's room is inside. This is just a shared sink for people to wash their hands!”“What do you think you are doing here? I’m warning you not to do something stupid. Behave yourself!” His sudden appearance here did not have crossed her mind, and it made her panic.Having sensed her intention to escape, Darren blocked his path and said, “Areiza, I just want to talk to you properly.”“I have nothing to say to a stranger. Sorry, but my husband is still waiting for me.” Areiza wanted to walk past him, but he wouldn’t give her a chance and he forced her into a corner.Seeing that she could not get rid of him, she was forced to shout at him, “Wh
Darren carried Charlotte to the suite upstairs of the hotel near the church, where the reception was held. Inside, he placed Charlotte on the bed while he sat on the edge of the bed and said, “When are you planning to open your eyes?”Charlotte kept her eyes closed and held her breath nervously, not daring to open her eyes.“Well, it’s good things you that you don’t want to wake up!”Before Charlotte could even begin to understand what he meant, she felt his warm breath seep into the skin on her face. Charlotte opened her eyes and met Darren’s deep-set smiling gaze. His face was inches away from her and he was about to kiss her. Fortunately, he stopped the second she opened her eyes.Seeing his smile made Charlotte excited. “You know that I just pretending?”Darren didn’t answer the questions. “Were you aware that I was outside at the time?”Charlotte couldn’t respond to his query, so she just looked at him blankly. She had won the bet. At first, Charlotte just hoped that Stella could
Today was Peter and Anna’s wedding day.Darren came to the villa early in the morning to pick up Charlotte. However, Charlotte didn’t want to show up with him in the same place.“Charlotte, if you don’t want to see news about us breaking up tomorrow morning, then you had better come with me.”Even if their relationship was on the verge of breaking right now, the truth remained that the public still saw them as a loving couple. Though Charlotte was uncomfortable about the idea, she had no choice but to go to the party with Darren.When they entered the banquet hall, Darren wrapped his arm around her waist and pressed her body against her.The fabric of Charlotte's dress was thin, so when his palm landed on her waist, Charlotte’s body temperature rose and she felt her blood coursing through her veins.All the other guests at the wedding looked at them with envy. Teasing and sighing at how sweet they were.Charlotte was so embarrassed that she turned to him and said, “Let me go, will you
Peter was right behind the door when he saw Stella badgering Darren. He watched as Darren pushed her away and ran after Charlotte.Stella fell to the ground, but she got up held onto Darren’s lap, and continued begging regardless of how humiliating her act was.“Darren, where are you going? Don’t go! Please.”“Let me go,” Darren growled. In an act of desperation, Stella shook her head, held on to him, and refused to let go. She was no longer the proud woman she once was.“Darren, I’m begging you. Just give me a chance to be with you!”Finally losing his patience, Darren pushed her away from him and stopped her before she could latch him again.“Stella, you have no idea why I’m letting you show your face to me. It’s not because you are my friend, nor it’s because I want to keep some sort of connection to you.”“Then why?” Stella asked with tears in her eyes.Peter didn’t hear what Darren said in the end. He saw how despair consumed Stella and it showed on her face. She fell on her knee
“Its fine. Rose and I share a birthday. Charlotte is a good friend with her, so I’m sure she will be willing to celebrate her birthday.” Stella said firmly.At that moment, Dora crap out by Stella so well-informed. ‘And she is so adamant on getting her hands on Darren.’The more Dora thought about it, the more she sensed something was amiss.As soon as Dora got home, she told Charlotte everything that Stella asked her to do.Charlotte pondered for a moment and said, “You should ask him directly. He can make decisions on his own.”“Aren’t you worried that rumors would circulate if he attended her birthday party?”“He probably won’t go,” Charlotte replied after some consideration.Dora nodded in agreement.The next morning, Dora asked Darren for his opinion. He just looked at her, and asked, “What did Charlotte say?”“She said that it’s up to you,” Dora answered.“Up to me?” Darren frowned in confusion.“Yes, but she also said that he probably won’t go,” Dora added.“Is that so? I will
“But I can’t stand it anymore, baby! Just let me fuck you, okay?” Darren lifted her chin with his finger and begins sucking on the tip of her tongue.Everything he did felt so good that Charlotte eventually gave in. He began caressing her tits, rubbing her nipples, and then pulling them. Soon, Darren loosened his grip on them. Charlotte’s breasts jiggled and bounced after he let them go.“Ugh,” A moan escaped Charlotte’s mouth, completely arousing Darren. He pressed his body against Charlotte. Thereafter, Charlotte felt he is huge manhood rubbing against her vagina. As Darren kept moving, Charlotte's desire grew, and she could no longer think of anything else.“Charlotte, can I?” Darren pressed his manhood against her, making her wetter by the second.“Darren, I want It. Give it to me.” Charlotte had no strength to hold back his neck. She wanted to grab something, but all she could do was to randomly wave her hands in the air.“What do you want me to give you baby? Tell me.” Darren be
After the meal, Darren touched Charlotte's forehead to check her temperature again and pulled her out of the Starlight restaurant.“Come with me to my office.”“But I wanna go home and rest,” Charlotte complained.“Well, you can sleep inside my office, too. Come on!” Darren put his hand on her shoulder and gently pushed her to his car.When Charlotte got into the car, she was about to fasten her seat belt, but then Darren leaned into it and fastened it for her. The tenderness in his eyes made Charlotte blush.Darren then cupped her cheeks, smiled at her, and leaned closer to her face. “Kiss me!” he said.“Huh?”Just before Charlotte could gather her composure, he lifted her chin and kissed her lips. Charlotte held her breath nervously too anxious to make any noise.It was already lunchtime, so many people were coming and going outside the place. Their car park was visible to many people. Passerby could easily spot them if they would look at them.Charlotte didn’t want other people wat
Because of how he reacted, the doctor felt tense and uncertain about what to do.Charlotte's face palmed and said to the doctor, “Honestly, I am feeling alright already. I’m sure I will get better after taking the antipyretic injections. Thank you, doctor!”The doctor nodded with a smile and left the room.Once he was gone, Darren sat back in his chair and directed his attention back to Charlotte. “You really can’t take your eyes off a handsome man when you see one, can you?”“What are you talking about? I was not looking at him.”He was so angry that he was practically snarling at Charlotte. “Are you not attracted to me anymore, Charlotte?”The look of jealousy and frustration on his face was amusing. He looks so childish!Once Charlotte's infusion was done, Darren held her out of the hospital while holding her wrist. By the time they reached the gate, their fingers were already interlocked. Charlotte’s heart felt a sense of comfort and warmth as she held his hand with him.After the
For a long time, Anna I stood frozen on the spot with her hand hovering above the door.Eventually, she dropped her hand with a sigh. She found a corner by the porch and curled up in it to cry her eyes out. the crowd.After a long time, Charlotte came back and was surprised to see her at the door. “Anna?”Anna looked up at her, her cheeks red with embarrassment. It was indeed abrupt for him to come here, but she had nowhere else to go. “Charlotte, can you take me in for one night?” She wiped the tears on her face and asked brazenly.Charlotte gaped at her for a few seconds before walking up to her. She held her hand and took it. “Come in!” Charlotte said.Charlotte asked the maid to cook some soup and bought it for her.Seeing the steaming hot soup in front of her, Anna felt the warmth and acceptance of the family, which was also something she earned for most. Anna picked up the bowl and felt a lump in her throat.Charlotte’s three kids sat opposite and looked at Anna curiously. Anna
Stella called Peter out of the blue and asked him to come to the bar where she was and keep her company.During her drunken speech, she broke into sobs several times.When Peter hung up the phone, he hesitated for a while but eventually decided to drive to the bar.Judging by Stella’s near-incoherent speech, she was very drunk. Not only that, she was a drunk woman in a bar alone. The number of things that could happen was too high for Peter to even contemplate.When Peter got there, he saw many empty bottles on her table. Stella was in the process of pouring more wine when Peter walked up to her and confiscated the bottle.“You have enough to drink!”With tears streaming down her face, Stella turned to look at him in disappointment. “Why are you here?”“Who else could it be if it were not for me?” Peter asked him confused.“I don’t want you. I want Darren.” And all of a sudden, Stella grabbed his shirt and looked up at him with hatred and determination.Her reaction pissed Peter off a
