It's already past ten in the evening, and her employer walked to her, “Kendra, it’s been late. You can go home now. Thank you so much for helping me these days.”
“That’s all right. I'm so grateful you accepted me to have this part-time job. I have to go now,”
"Okay, take care,"
Kendra walked out of the pastry shop and smiled happily. She earned hundreds of dollars these days. Though it was not much, Kendra was satisfied. At least, she was close to her success.
Kendra looked up to the sky and noticed it was so late. She had been back too late for days. Lendon didn’t find it yesterday. Kendra hoped that he was still busy today.
When the taxi approached the forest, the driver stopp
Following him, she immediately called his attention, “Give me back my amulet. It’s important to me,” “Fasten your seatbelt.” Michael ignored Kendra’s words and was about to start his car. “I said give my amulet back,” Kendra repeated impatiently. It’s the only thing that left her from someone, not totally her mother. Suddenly, Michael got close to Kendra and stared at her. They were so close that Kendra got nervous. What did Michael want to do? Did he want to kiss her? How should she push him away? Thoughts ran through her head, and her heart started beating faster. When Michael was about to kiss Kendra, he suddenly fastened her seatbelt for her. Her reaction amused him
As Lendon and Kendra walked out of Michael’s apartment together, he held her hand tightly, looking like he’s afraid she will run away. After Lendon and Kendra got outside the apartment, Curtis called Kendra’s attention.“Miss Miller.” Curtis bowed his head and signaled Kendra to pay attention to him.“What’s wrong?” Confused, Kendra stopped and turned to Curtis.“What happened between you and Michael Baker?” Curtis lowered his voice. When Curtis found this place, he didn’t tell Lendon the truth, afraid that it will cause another trouble, but he needed to figure everything out clearly before they got to the castle.Kendra looked at Curtis confusedly, she doesn’t understand why he should ask her.
All her worries earlier were gone as she saw Michael’s polite treatment towards her daughter. During lunch, Marga and Jane chatted with each other happily. However, Michael and Bianca rarely glanced at each other as they seemed to feel awkward. They just sat there quietly and barely talked.After a while, Michael couldn’t stand the atmosphere anymore. He found an excuse and walked out of the box.As soon as Michael left, Jane held Bianca’s hand and said, “Bianca, Michael is always cool. Please don’t blame him. You are his fiancée. You can be more enthusiastic, honey,”Bianca smiled and nodded obediently. The truth is, she was upset that Michael didn’t bother to chat with her nor ask something about her.“Bianca
She looked back at Curtis, mind filled with doubt.“What?” Kendra asked. She somehow had a bad feeling.Surely, Curtis gave Kendra a car key and said, “We don’t prepare ingredients for you. You have to buy them yourself. Here’s the car key.”“What?” Kendra yelled and couldn't believe how people inside this castle treated her. Curtis was not kidding, obviously. Lendon was really an asshole.Kendra clenched her fists and kept silent for a while. Then, she grabbed the key and asked, “When will he come back? I assume I still have enough time to prepare his food,”“Mr. Martin has an important meeting today. He will be back before 8.” Curtis calmly
People who saw Lendon's fierce outburst got silent. One of the police wanted to stop Lendon, but his bodyguards stopped him immediately.A police officer who clearly recognized Lendon just murmured, “He is Lendon Martin. The renowned duke of this country,”Everyone stood still and didn’t dare to move.Lendon took his coat off and sneered, “I admire your courage. How dare you hurt her? You hurt my woman, you’re courting death,” He kicked the man’s belly heavily.Hit by the strong kick, the man screamed and curled himself on the floor.“What are you doing? Stop it!” Kendra quickly stood in the middle to stop Lendon's cruel act. They were in the police station now. What if th
The following day, Kendra had recovered, but she still felt panic when she thought about what happened yesterday. If it were not for Lendon's help, the man wouldn’t have let her go. As for the 10 thousand dollars that Lendon had paid that man, added worry to Kendra. Though Lendon didn’t mention it, she must pay him back. What was worse, she also broke Lendon’s Porsche. A sudden headache came to her.“What should I do?” Kendra screamed inside the bathroom. It seemed that she owed Lendon more and more every day. When could she leave here?“Miss Miller.” A maidservant called her from outside.It was the weekend, and Kendra needed to work.Kendra washed her face and walked out of the bathroom.
A sweet smile filled her pretty face, “Yes.” Kendra proudly said.Looking at her proud reaction, Lendon teased her, “They are so ugly.” He waited for her response after a while.Kendra felt frustrated immediately and lowered her head without saying a word.Lendon wanted to burst into laughter, but he’s in the mood to tease her. He picked a cake up and tried carefully. After a while, he said, “It tastes fine.”“Really?” Looking so adorable, she can’t help but felt happy hearing his comment.“I don’t believe that you made it,” Lendon added, still pretending not to be impressed with her cooking skill.
The atmosphere inside the dining room was dense and tension rose. Finally, Bianca told Kendra to sit down. They talked and laughed just like before. But, of course, Kendra was just listening quietly.“Kendra, where do you stay these days? Why don’t you call me?” Marga smiled and asked. She even served Kendra some food personally.“I live with my friend.” Kendra stared at her plate, hesitation was written on her face. She didn’t want to tell the truth. But, obviously, they were up to something. She was aware of how they wanted to humiliate her, including her own father.“You should move back. I misunderstood you last time. Forget what I said. Anyway, we are family here.” Marga chimed, trying to act like a real mother, but her action made Kendra want to vomit.
Anne was worried about seeing Kendra like this.Kendra smiled and nodded. She had some porridge and asked confusedly. “It is strange. I just looked at the mirror and found there is a scar around my neck. How did this happen?”Hearing Kendra’s words, a strange look came over Anne’s face immediately. She felt restless and looked away.Kendra seemed to notice something and asked, “Ann, what’s up?”“Miss Miller, I don’t know if I should tell you something.” Anne hesitated. She was not sure if she should say that.“It’s fine. What is it?” Kendra tried to convince Anne.“Your scar is….&rdquo
Tonight is another passionate night for them.It was cool the next morning. Kendra got tired and slept in Lendon’s arms last night. Suddenly, she felt cold and woke up.Lendon was still asleep. Kendra looked down and saw her body naked, covered with red marks. Lendon got the whole quilt with him. Damn! He didn’t leave her a quilt at all!Kendra coughed and rubbed her nose.Lendon woke up and looked at Kendra blankly. “What’s up?” He asked.“It’s cold.” Kendra glared at Lendon and took the quilt. She coughed again.“Did you catch a cold?” Lendon held Kendra and asked. He just woke up, so his voice sounded sexy this e
She couldn’t help but praise him. Indeed, the barbecue tasted good. She wanted to have more.Kendra went back to Lendon and stared at him. Her mouth was even watering. “Lendon…”“No,” Lendon said as soon as Kendra spoke. He knew what she wanted, but he smiled and said, “You can’t take more.”“But I am hungry.” Kendra blinked her eyes and complained like a child. She even pouted her lips.Lendon suddenly got excited. Did Kendra know that she could turn him on easily?“I am almost done. Do you want to eat them?” Lendon stared at Kendra and began to tease her.Kendra nodded quickly.
Startled, Kendra turned the app off immediately and asked, “Who is that?”“Miss Miller, Mr. Martin is ready. He is waiting for you downstairs.” A maid’s voice rang outside her door.Kendra took a deep breath and recalled that she agreed to go camping with Lendon today. She coughed and said, “Okay, I know,” Kendra looked at her phone and sighed.She had to listen to the recording next time. So Kendra went downstairs and got in the car.This time, Lendon and her would go alone.Curtis chose the place for them. He said it has beautiful scenery.Kendra looked outside the window and was lost in thought. She wondered what Marga would say n
Kendra tried to control her temper. She lowered her head and remained silent. She tried her best not to burst into anger.“Mom, calm down. Kendra just comes to see dad. No matter what happened, she is my sister.” Bianca argued with her mother.“Shut up! Bianca, go back to your room.” Marga shouted.“Mom!” Bianca tried to say something again, but Marga blocked her.“I said go to your room!” Marga glared at her daughter, her eyes blazing with anger.Bianca has no reason to stay. She gave a quick glance to Kendra, and her eyes were full of sympathy. After Bianca left, Marga glanced at Kendra and told her maid, “Go to the storage room and bring the garbage that we&
She remained silent and couldn’t find words to say. She was overwhelmed by Anne’s revelation. If this was true, she needed to give justice to her mom.“Miss Miller, do you remember that after Mrs. Miller passed away, Mr. Miller sent you to your’ grandparents’. As a matter of fact, he didn’t intend to bring you back. However, Mrs. Miller’s testament had your name, so he had no other choice but to take you back.” Anne told her, staring at her with sadness.“What?” Kendra raised her head and stared back at Anne, “How do you know that?” Kendra couldn’t really accept the truth.“All Mrs. Miller’s servants knew the truth. Marga argued with Mr. Miller for days about whether they should bring you back or not. But at the end, they
He deepened his kissed and held Kendra in his arms tightly. Lendon didn’t stop until he was satisfied. The hot water in the tub became cold gradually. After a long time, Lendon finally let Kendra go, and they walked out of the bathroom.They had dinner in their room tonight since Kendra couldn’t walk properly. She could only sit on the bed. Lendon was with her all the time. He didn’t allow her to do anything and insisted on feeding her.“Lendon, I can help myself.” Kendra tried to persuade him.She was not a disabled person at all, but he kept treating her like one.“No.” Lendon refused, “Oh, by the way, I sent Anne to the hospital already.” he suddenly uttered.
Half an hour later, several cars passed Kendra one by one, and she could only walk as slowly as possible. She knew she couldn’t walk back. It was impossible. What should she do? Kendra thought for a while and tried to get help from passing cars, but none of them stopped to let her in. Kendra had to continue to walk. She didn’t expect that anyone would help her. Soon, her ankles got swollen.“Shit!” Kendra cursed and sat down on the road. As she took her phone out and wondered who she could call, a car stopped in front of her. Kendra raised her head and saw Lendon put the window down and stare at her.Looking at his face, Kendra felt so angry. Why did he come back?“Miss Miller, please get in.” Curtis got off and invited her. He walked to her and wanted to help her stand up.
Suddenly she was shocked to hear Anne’s words. Kendra felt confused.“If it were not for her scheme, I wouldn’t have left. I thought she just wanted to fire some old employees, but it turned out that she intended to get rid of Mrs. Miller and you, one by one.” Anne’s face turned gloomy, and she gritted her teeth.“What are you talking about, Anne? I don’t understand.” Anne’s words added more confusion to Kendra. What really happened in the past? She was still naive in those younger days, clueless about the things that had happened.“Miss Miller, it was not an accident. Someone planned it.” Anne stared at Kendra, an apparent anger filling her voice.“What?!” Kendra asked shockingly.
