One year later, Areiza returned to her home country. “Have you prepared a birthday gift for Riana?” She asked, looking at her bodyguard, Elena, who was standing behind her. She had just gotten off the plane.“Yes, Miss Wilson, it’s already in the car.” Elena said in a respectful tone. Areiza gave her satisfied nod.That moment her phone rang. Looking at it, she saw Ria’s number flashing on the screen and immediately answered it.“Hello, Areiza?”“What’s the matter? Just spill it, I’m in a hurry,” she said with a smile.“Darren has been looking for you ever since you left. He is very serious about getting back together with you,” Ria informed.At the mention of his name, Areiza could not help but sneer in her heart. “If he’s willing to spend $100 million for an appointment, then I might consider meeting him! But I would never get back to gather with him. Moreover, Darren already had new girlfriend, Riana. I heard that they were very intimate and often show their affection in the public
“Have you found out where she is? Where has she gone?” Darren anxiously asked Kenny. After checking the surveillance camera, he found that a bunch of luxury cars had picked up Areiza.“Sir, she is heading to the west coast,” Kenny replied respectfully.“Get me the surveillance of the west coast at once.”“Sir, the road there is under construction, so the surveillance cameras in the area have been turned off,” Kenny answered with an embarrassed look.“Then where was she last seen?”“The last surveillance picture of her was taken near the west coast’s ecological park, which is not far from the Venzor Group’s of subsidiary company.”“Kenny, we will head there at once,” Unable to contain his excitement, Darren stood up, ready to find her. He had finally found her after a year.“But sir… Today’s Miss Hill’s birthday. Didn’t you promise her that you would attend her birthday party at the Palace Hotel?” However, looking at his cold eyes Kenny’s voice became lower.“Okay, Sir. I will go and g
“Areiza, you are… you are back?” Raina struggled in disbelief when she saw Areiza. Her face went white as she looked as though she had seen a ghost.At this moment, Elena stepped forward and introduced her to Raina, “This is Miss Wilson!”With her eyes wide in shock, Raina pointed at Areiza and asked incredulously, “What? Miss Wilson? She can’t be miss Wilson!”“It’s true. She is Charlotte Wilson, the only child of Miss Edward Wilson.” Elena proudly announced her identity to everyone.As soon as she finished picking the crowd burst into an uproar.“Oh my god, I can’t believe that she is the child of the legendary president of Wilson group. This is the first time she had shown up in public!”“I never expected Miss Wilson to be this beautiful!”“Are you all blind? She is obviously Areiza Kensley. How could she be the daughter of the president of the Wilson Group?”“What? She is Areiza? Then that would mean that she is Mr. Venzor’s ex-wife?”Areiza said nothing. She just stood there calm
“What? You slapped him?” Raina looked at Areiza with wide eyes and continued, “Why did you hit my fiance?”“I’m sorry. I didn’t know he was your fiance when I slapped him.” Areiza cast a playful glance at Darren and flashed him a mocking smile, saying, “Through, he was a rouge at that time. I didn’t know he was famous, Mr. Venzor. I’m so sorry.”Darren didn’t say anything, he just stared at her silently.Raina’s face darkened as she said, “What are you talking about? How could you mistake Darren for a rogue?”At that time, Areiza started narrating what had happened, “Mr. Venzor suddenly grabbed my hand and refused to let me go. To be honest, I thought he was harassing me. Now come to think about it, he had probably mistaken for me that Areiza woman you are talking about.” Areiza said as smiled apologetically at Darren and shrugged.“I totally misunderstood you. So, did you stop me at the airport to get even with the woman you were looking for?” Areiza paused for a moment before she si
If it was in the past, Areiza would have been moved by Darren’s sweet words. But now, the only thing she felt was disgust. She suppressed the hatred in her eyes and scoffed, “Oh, I see. You are the husband of the woman who abandoned her husband and children. No wonder she divorced you. It must have been pain in the ass to be your wife.”Dejection flashed across Darren’s face, but Areiza pretended not to see it. “It’s amazing to see that you have your new girlfriend when you have just divorced.” She leaned against the car and looked at him with mockery.Darren’s face went white as a sheet and he said, “Areiza, Raina, and I are not in a relationship.”“Mr. Venzor, you don’t have to explain anything to me. It’s your personal life, after all. It has nothing to do with me. I just happened to hear that your ex-wife look like me, so I could not help but ask about her. You don’t mind, do you? Anyway, I have important things to do. See you around.”Darren’s face turned gloomier and this made h
“Sped up and lose the car behind us,” Areiza barked at the driver.The driver was very experienced. He sped up, but he was still able to ensure that they ran steadily. Halfway to their destination, the driver said, “Miss Wilson, the car behind us, is gone. It seems it suddenly turned a corner.”Areiza looks back. Sure enough, no one was following them anymore. She breathed a sigh of relief, but deep in her heart, she couldn’t have felt a bit disappointed. Suddenly, she felt an acute pain in her waist and she gasped.Elena looked at her and quickly asked, “Are you okay Charlotte? You just turn white as paper!”“I’m fine. It’s just a little discomfort in my waist area. It happens all the time. Don’t worry.”She had been suffering from the pain since her miscarriage. The doctor said that it was a sequel to the miscarriage and that she had to rest whenever she could and not push herself too hard. Every time she had the pain, she hated Darren and Raina more. Her hatred for them was what ha
The pain coming from her waist gradually disappeared. But Areiza still looked haggard. She looked at Jennifer’s ward number before leaving the hospital in silence.In the car, she called Edward. “Dad, can you tell Hugo that I want his help right now. I heard that Christine isn’t feeling well.” As Areiza leaned against the seat, she felt powerless.Even though she hated Darren with every fiber of her being, she could never ignore the fact that Jennifer was ill. She had always treated her as though she was her granddaughter. Thus, when she heard she was ill, she felt anxious. Her sudden departure must have been hard for Jennifer. And she had no choice at that time.Elena could tell what was on her mind, so she patted her in an attempt to comfort her. “Jennifer is a good person. You said that she has always been kind to you, right? God will bless her. She will recover soon!”“I agree. Jennifer is a strong and gentle woman,” Areiza concurred, putting on a smile. Jennifer’s loving appearan
The Sky was overcast, and a thunderstorm was brewing. Darren stood in front of the window and lit a cigarette. The smell of nicotine calmed his nerves and alleviated his searing headache. All of a sudden, his phone rang. He immediately picked it up and answered the call.“How’s it going? Have you found out anything?” He asked Kenny without beating around the bush.“Sir, Miss Wilson’s identity is indeed suspicious,” Kenny answered at once.Darren’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. “Send me the information. I will read it myself. Then I want you to look into what happened to Areiza when she “died.” Examine her medical records, if you must,” Darren ordered sternly. As soon as finished speaking, he hung up the call without waiting for Kenny to reply.Darren put his phone aside, then checked her email to carefully read the file Kenny had sent. According to the investigation, Charlotte was Edward Wilson’s only child. She was arrogant at dominating, the exact opposite of Areiza. Charl
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
