Chapter 208: Implications and Departures.

"You know..." sighed Brian as he saw Emma, who stared at them with disdain." When you don't talk about the devil, he shows up anyway, doesn't he?" he asked seriously.

The twins, in turn, got up and went downstairs together, barely noticing that the Leblanc brothers followed them while smiling and chatting.

"What are they talking about?" whispered Brian. Then, they subtly approached when the twins sat at a table in the cafeteria and stealthily listened.

"You shouldn't think about it, it was right to throw those coats away at that moment. Besides... Think about it, do men like them have anything good to offer? You saw, they attract the attention of all women all the time." she commented with disgust.

"But isn't that a good thing?" asked Brian, whispering, astonished.

"True, you know, men like that are after every woman they can find. There's no value in that, and I say this because they kept staring at us the whole time. We're nothing but toys,

    Chapter 1 Agreements and Lies.Mr. Leblanc is on the phone, anxious in a heated conversation with a Campbell, one of the most influential men in the state. He could have been one of the most influential men himself if it weren't for the Leblanc family, the family to which Elizabeth belongs—the only family considered the most powerful and influential in the city."I just ask for a little more patience," pleaded Zeus Leblanc, concerned."You said we should marry when she turned eighteen, but four years have passed since then. How can you expect me to wait so long? You're not keeping the agreement you promised me. Is this something the Leblanc family does?""Mr. Campbell, I know we've made you wait longer than usual, but... our daughter has been struggling a lot with the idea of marriage. I want her to accept it willingly. Elizabeth has become a remarkable woman whom you won't regret marrying."Campbell sighed heavily, showing dissatisfaction."I'm a mature man..." He smiled casually. "I

Why aren't you responding to any of my messages? I'm heading to the college to meet you," she warned impatiently.But Taylor wasn't at the college, and a woman picked up his phone, reading the message and stifling a laugh before tossing the phone to the other side of the bed."Who was it?" Taylor asked disinterestedly, lying relaxed on the bed."Your screwed-up girlfriend," she mocked. "I don't know how you manage a relationship with her. She has nothing to offer. You haven't even been intimate.""Yeah..." He lamented sarcastically."When will you break up?" she asked, sitting at the edge of the bed, showing disinterest."Soon. I don't want any connection with her since I fell in love with you. After all, she's nobody compared to you.""But... even if she doesn't give you anything, you've spent so m

    Chapter 3:"A Stranger Known""Hey!" Taylor shouted in a way that startled her, but there was a hint of regret in his eyes."She tried to hurt me!" Emma accused while portraying herself as a victim. He moved toward Emma and saw the nail mark on Elizabeth's face."How dare you!?" He returned to face her angrily."She's the mistress, not me! How can you still defend her? Everything you said... all our vows..." she asked tearfully, still seated on the floor.Taylor smiled somewhat bitterly as he looked at the ceiling with skepticism. Then, he directed a disgusted look toward Elizabeth."You... I just wanted to use you, I wanted you to surrender to me, and then I'd leave you."Elizabeth was speechless, petrified as she stared at him."Four years? Just for that?""No!" He chuckled discreetly. "Also out of pity, and... besides, you were pretty. Guys still desired you even in those rags..." He lowered his gaze, assessing her clothes, realizing they were different. "Even looking disgusting an

She spotted the thief who got startled and ran off because of Richard."You should be more careful, what are you doing by the roadside?" He asked, walking towards her.Elizabeth stood up but fell to the ground while trying to step back, landing on the grass."What do you want?" She asked, startled, her vision still blurry as she wiped away tears."You're so careless." He grumbled, holding her wrist to help her up." What are you doing in a place like this?"Who are you?" She growled, moving away, alarmed."Damn it..." He muttered inaudibly, backing away from her." You study at Elêusis campus, right?He swallowed, trying to disguise his posture, but she eyed him suspiciously, never having seen that man before."Who are you?"I'm one of the contributors to that place.She furrowed her brow, puzzled, as s

    Chapter 5. Agreement between their parents. Elizabeth stayed silent for a few minutes, observing while Richard uncomfortably cleared his throat, maintaining a distant look and an upright posture as he stared out the car window. "Come on! Everyone has their own problems!" She shouted furiously, trying to open the door. "The car is locked." He informed calmly. "Let me out, I will never marry you! I hate these rich people who think they can have everything and treat us however they want just because they have a lot of money. "I didn't say anything offensive to you; I just gave you the chance of a lifetime. You could live well for the rest of your life; any poor girl like you would accept it. "Oh, please! As if this day hadn't been bad enough already. "Accept the agreement and have the life every girl dreams of. "Do you think things work like that? Does everyone think that way?" She asked, trembling lips and a sad look." I don't want to be forced to marry anyone. What's wrong with

    chapter 6: Destined It was nighttime, and Elizabeth's father was in his office with his wife, who was pacing back and forth anxiously. "Do you think she saw it?" She asked anxiously. "I showed her, the investigator said she entered while they were still there. "And the elder Campbell? Is he still available for the marriage? "Despite Richard being a sought-after man, and he rarely shows up for this, he wouldn't find a wife so quickly. He's so calculating and meticulous; he wouldn't choose just any woman, even to throw us off and make me keep my word. "You don't know if he really hasn't found someone; if I were you, I wouldn't count on that man's coldness. He might just want to use any woman when it comes to such an important matter. "Not that man, he's not that type. "Well... what's the deadline, at least? "Actually, I hope Elizabeth decides tomorrow. I want her to be able to marry before her brothers go to the United States; they won't think about going until they're sure thei

"I don't have time now, but once a decision is made, I'll meet you," he warned dryly. "I hope we can meet soon; I know I'll be the right person you're looking for." She stepped back and left, heading toward the group of friends awaiting her. "Not at all…" She sighed indifferently, keeping her gaze in the opposite direction, remembering Eliza. "I don't know what's happening for her to be on my mind like this," he thought, lost in thought. Elizabeth and her friend Gaby were on the campus field where students gathered to sit on the grass. She tried once again to hold back the tears, though it was almost impossible. "When will you stop coming here? I know it hurts you, so…" "I… I just need to see, see until it hurts so much that I wish for death, but instead of killing me, I'll end his life!" She exclaimed fiercely. "Your mind is hard to understan

    Chapter 207: A Pregnant Woman in a Scorpion NestShe rested her head on those wooden planks, holding her belly, thinking she would be alone at that moment. Besides the risk she was taking by being in an old house in a forest, it was obvious that there were insects and wild animals around. So, she tried to stay still, even more so when she saw an unpleasant insect just inches away, making her spine tingle. After all, how many more were there? She closed her eyes in terror. It seemed that under that house had become a shelter for scorpions. So, she even tried not to breathe, even with panic.At such a critical moment, she truly thought she was going to die, until she heard the door of that old house open abruptly."Oh Heavens... He never fails..." she sighed in relief."Stay still!" Richard asserted upon seeing the scorpions crawling over Elizabeth."Save me... Please..." she pleaded, holding her breath."It's okay... Just don't move." he said, keeping calm and carefully removing the sc

    Chapter 206: A Dangerous and Relaxed WalkElizabeth was already nine months pregnant, and with each passing day, she became more anxious. It wasn't because she eagerly awaited the moment to see her daughter, but rather because, after months in that mansion, even with so much entertainment, she was eager and longing to go out and take her last walk alone.The twins were wandering around the mansion's premises, and as usual, they always went to see Elizabeth."You can come in," announced Elizabeth when the twins knocked on the door."Are you going somewhere?" the girls asked, a bit confused to see her already dressed and drying her hair."I'm thinking of making a brief visit to an old place," she said thoughtfully."You're not thinking of visiting someone, are you?" Kemilly asked suspiciously."What are you talking about?" Elizabeth asked, confused."We heard that Taylor is paralyzed, unable to move anything from the waist down. It's a pity for someone so young and handsome.""Why would

    Chapter 205: Visiting my former marriageDuring that same period, Taylor was now living with his mother. She took him to her home, even though it was a simple place. Now he had to accept that this was his fate, being completely ignored by his father, who didn't even visit him. Coralie now sat daily in a chair in front of Taylor's bed and dedicated herself to feeding him."Do you know I can feed myself, right? Why do you keep doing this?" Taylor asked, annoyed."And I want to take care of my son, as I never could before," she grumbled as he refused to eat."You don't have to, just leave and let me die. We can't even live in this place, no money, no life, nothing. That bastard who claims to be my father only defends his own interests.""I'm here. Besides, I know how to get money, so don't worry.""How?""Let's just say I made a great friend, even when I was practicing evil," she smiled tenderly. "At least she says she never made a mistake when she chose to trust me.""I abandoned you. S

The girls talked to their guardians and asked for permission to go with Elizabeth."How come Elizabeth asked you two to go with her?" Richard asked skeptically."Actually, we asked her. We believe we can learn more from someone like her.""Did she say where she's going?"The girls shook their heads negatively."No, actually she said she didn't want you to know.""What am I to her? Is she always going to be avoiding me? Does she think it's fair while dragging my daughter everywhere?" he grumbled annoyed, leaving the twins confused."What do you mean? But if it was your son, why did you let Taylor bother her so much?"At that moment, Richard averted his gaze, showing shame."At first, he implied that baby was

Rayssa asked, leaning on Richard's arm as he escorted her."You can be sure, just the two of us was a bit lonely.""I heard she married that man, now that I'm back, I'll have to face a divorce while her marriage will be annulled," she sighed thoughtfully."Indeed, it seems our family has a karma related to marriage annulment.""Why? Speaking of which... Elizabeth is your wife, right? Why didn't you bring her?""It's a long story, actually, a story so far-fetched it might take days to know it all," he suddenly commented, remembering the time he was kidnapped.He smiled awkwardly at the thought that it was his grandfather who did that; he was now sure that Rayssa and Aloury's encounter was more dramatic than expected, filled with Aloury's remorse and regret, now that she was lucid. She had awakened from

Emile nodded in agreement to what Kemilly indicated by looking towards the grand entrance, then turned to his sister."Let's take you, since you can't walk...""No!" Kemilly asserted, using all her strength, pulling her sister and running into the hospital, leaving the two men stunned."What's going on?" Brian asked, furrowing his brow as he watched the girls struggling to run."Interesting, I expected them to jump into our arms instead of running past us..." "Oh... I guess we're quite presumptuous, but perhaps there are really tough women out there in the world," Brian commented, interrupting his brother and suppressing a laugh."Did they make it seem like a game?" Ryuk asked, sliding his thumb over his chin with a light smile, much like Brian.The twins ran to Elizabeth's room, finding her things already packed, feeling disappointed to see her leaving."You're leaving wi

Don't keep rejecting me..." he tried to hold her hand, but she pulled away."Excuse me," Eliza entered the room, interrupting the conversation."I'll let you two talk..." Richard announced, albeit unwillingly."Why are you treating him like this?" Eliza asked, concerned."Because he's stubborn. Clearly, he's doing this out of pity. He wants to accept this child not because he loves me or loves this child, but because he feels sorry for everything I've been through. But the truth is, I've realized that nothing happened between me and Taylor.""What do you mean?" Eliza asked, intereste
