After leaving the Hill House, Darren got into his car and shut the door. The words “died with her unborn child” were a huge mystery that couldn’t get out of his mind. Areiza was never a person to talk nonsense. ‘What happened a year ago that made her live without even saying goodbye to her three children?’He guessed the back of his mind, but he eventually set it aside. He was too scared to think about it. It scared him to his core that once he found out what happened here ago, he would not deserve the right to ask Areiza for forgiveness.Darren leaned against the back of his seat and pinched the bridge of his nose. His thoughts and worries had been doing a horrible number on his heart and nerves.At that moment, his phone rang and broke the silence in the car. Darren picked up right away without looking at the screen. Then he heard Jason’s anxious voice come through the phone, “Darren, Alex has been in a car accident!”“What? Is he all right?” Darren asked in shock.“No. The doctor s
Areiza put on a mask and a baseball cap and then changed into a set of unisex clothes. When she was finally satisfied with her disguise, she went to the hospital to see Jennifer. Because it was already evening, there were fewer visitors and nurses, so it was easy to sneak into her ward.When she opened the door. She immediately saw her lying on the bed. She had not seen her for days. Thankfully, she looked much better now. Without a word, Areiza took off her mask and cap and made her way to her bed.“Areiza, my child!” Jennifer sat up in excitement. It was apparent that she was happy to see her as her pale face flushed in delight.Areiza bent over and held her sit-up. With tears welling up in her eyes, she grabbed her hand and said, Areiza, I know it’s you.”Areiza patted her hand comfortingly and said, “Please calm down!”“It’s okay. How are you? I don’t mind if you don’t want to admit that you are Areiza. Just promise me that you have been taking care of yourself.”Areiza’s heart ac
Areiza left the hospital in low spirits. Every time she closed her eyes, the photos of her three children came in front of her eyes. After seeing those photos, she became more determined to take them back.In the evening, she went to a bar to get a drink and took Elena with her. Not long after she sat down, Darren appeared out of nowhere. He walked over to them and pulled out an empty chair beside her. He casually set his jacket on the back of the chair and sat down.“What a bad luck!” Areiza murdered under her breath.Pretending not to hear her, Darren smiled at her and said, “Fancy seeing you here, Areiza. Let me buy you a drink. Would you like to bear a cocktail?”“Why are you sitting at our table? Who told you that you could sit with us?” Areiza glared at him.The smile on Darren’s face slowly faded. He pursed his lips and kept silent for a long time. “I knew you went to the hospital to see Grandma today. You still care about her, don’t you?” Darren said and looked at her with con
Darren woke up from the nightmare. In his dream, he was chasing after Areiza, but no matter how fast he ran, she only got further and further away from him. He couldn’t catch up with her. Fear and despair overwhelmed him and made it difficult for him to breathe.Suddenly, his phone rang. Kenny called and said that he had gotten some news about Rose. After hanging up the phone, Darren immediately drove to the hospital to see Alex.When he opened the door and entered the ward, Alex was awake. However, he didn’t turn his head when he came in. He just continued to look at the ceiling with his eyes brimming with pain.“Hey, buddy. How are you feeling?” Darren said, walking over to his bedside.Alex didn’t respond. He just kept his eyes fixed upward.Looking at him, Darren found that he had lost a significant amount of weight, and he just lay there like a soulless husk of a man. The doctors did everything in their power to save Alex's life. Sadly, he might still never be able to walk again.
Areiza finally came back to her office after a tedious meeting with the executives. There, she sat on her swivel chair wearily. Unfortunately, her work was not yet over, so she turned her computer on to deal with the other things.As soon as she turned on her computer, a dialogue box popped on the screen. She had received three e-mails. She clicked on it and found that emails were, to be honest, invitation letters.One of from Darren, another was from Dylan and the last was from a stranger named Simon Felix. They were all inviting her to the auction of the land on the east bank with them.‘Who was this Simon anyway?’ She thought.Then, something suddenly occurs to her. Just a few days ago, Edward told her that he wanted to introduce a young man to her. The man he was referring to was his old friend’s son, whose name was Simon.At the time, Areiza thought Edward was not serious, so she just agreed perfunctorily. It turned out that he meant what he said. She didn’t know whether to laugh
When Areiza finally got out of the bar, she found Elena waiting for her at the door. Elena walked up to her, looked at her up and down, and asked, “Are you okay?”Areiza nodded, “I’m fine.”“I just saw Adam being taken away by the police. Do you think he’s going to get back at your future?”Areiza flashed a big smile and said, “I doubt it. He can barely keep his head above water now.”“That’s good.” Elena put her hand over her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.After getting in the car, Areiza suddenly thought about the three invitations she had gotten. After thinking for a while she sent an email to Simon. “Thank you for your invitation, Mr. Felix. I would love for you to be my escort.”Simon replied quickly. “Thank you for your response, Miss Wilson. It had be my honor to attend the auction with a beautiful lady like you. I look forward to our first meeting.”After that, Areiza put her phone aside. Feeling dizzy because of the wine, she leaned against her seat and closed her eyes
As soon as Rose reached the first floor, she saw Daisy sitting on the sofa. The woman was always well dressed, no matter where she was. She turned to look at her and said, “I heared that your sweetheart was in car accident. Is that true?”Rose frowned and looked at her fiercely.“If you are smart, you are going to give up on Alex and sees the chance to beat Ethan. A wise woman always know when to cut her losses.” Daisy said in a tone that made Rose want to slap her.Rose averted her gaze, hoping to hide the raging anger that would surely reflect in her eyes. She walked to the cattle and pulled two mugs. She made two cups of tea and laced one of them with something.“Do you do you think I’m the same as you? That once the man goes useless on me, I just discard him without hesitation.” Rose raised an eyebrow and handed the laced cup of tea to Daisy.She took the cup willingly. “Did Ethan say anything to you recently?” Daisy asked, with the cup of tea in her hand.“He asked me to be his w
“It’s just me, baby. You are mine tonight.” Then came Daisy’s high-pitched moans and Ethan’s grunts of pleasure. The Moonlight shining in through the window illuminated their naked intertwined bodies.The aphrodisiac Rose dosed them with work very well. Watching the exciting scene unfold before her, Rose felt her heart settle into a calm that she had not experienced a long ago.The pinhole camera hidden at the head of the bed was recording everything. Her plan had succeeded.When Daisy and Ethan were finally done, she stepped out of the room behind the curtains. They were so exhausted that they had fallen asleep right away.‘Didn’t I tell you that I had made you pay for the pain you caused me, Ethan?’ Thinking that Rose took the camera away, left her bedroom, and disappeared into the night.****Daniel took the red-eye flight so he could get home early in the morning.As soon as he entered the house, the Butler came running to him with a look of utter shock. “Mr Murray, oh, what a cal
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
