Becky’s mind filled with questions as the security man called out to her.

“The big boss upstairs wants to see you,” he announced to the hearing of everyone.

Her heart raced. “What could this be about? Am I in trouble? Did I break a company policy by arguing with their staff in the building? Why does he want to see me?”

She was lost in thought until Diana’s voice jolted her back to reality.

“I’ll be waiting for you outside. Please, don’t speak arrogantly to the overall boss,” Diana cautioned.

Diana knew Becky well. Normally, she was calm and avoided confrontation, but today had been different. Becky’s words had been uncharacteristic—a response to the injustice her friend had faced.

All eyes followed Becky as she approached the waiting security guard. Though Michelle felt embarrassed by Becky's action, her real triumph was the firing of Diana. With her fiancé’s help, she succeeded in having her permanently removed from the company.

As Becky passed, Michelle turned to the other staff, “

  • Please! Marry Me Again    Chapter 34 - Your dad is dying.

    Becky wished the floor would open and swallow her as she opened the door. Her heart pounded until she realized the man standing before her was a stranger. She let out a relieved sigh. She still suspected that Mr. Amos Wright must have sent someone, remembering his words when she was in her office: "I don’t take ‘no’ for an answer." She was sure that men like him were relentless, the type who wouldn’t stop until they got what they wanted. As these thoughts filled her mind, the man before her said something that unexpectedly put her at ease.“Where is Diana?” the man asked. He was short, wearing a striped shirt, with a noticeable scar on the side of his head, and pleasant fragrance emanating from him. Becky, gripping the door, turned slightly toward the sitting room, her entire body blocking the entrance.“Someone’s looking for you,” Becky called.Diana rose from her chair, the TV remote in hand, and walked toward the door.“Good evening, sir,” Diana greeted with a tone of familiarity.

  • Please! Marry Me Again    Chapter 35 - House Arrest

    “If I had known, I would have told Diana to follow me here. To see for herself, what was happening.”This was Becky’s greatest regret as she stepped into her father’s house after a long day trip. Leaving Diana’s house, she had rushed to grab a cab straight to the airport, carrying only a small black bag. The manner of her departure had been hurried and undetectable. Becky’s mother had never pulled a stunt like this before. Even her envious sister, Manni, was now by her father’s side. Becky wondered if Manni loved the theatrics of the situation or simply relished the opportunity to be in the center of attention. Had they been on better terms, Manni might have tipped her off about the truth.“Why was I so confident that nothing like this would ever happen to me?” Becky thought, a bitter taste forming in her mouth. Her flight had been paid for, and a special cab was waiting for her at the airport in her parents’ city.“Which hospital?” Becky asked the moment she slid into the car as she

  • Please! Marry Me Again    Chapter 36- No evidence, no leaving

    Becky emptied her bag onto the bed, the contents spilling out in a scattered mess. Her hands sifted through the pile with increasing urgency.“Where is it?” she muttered, her voice full of frustration. No matter how thoroughly she searched, the object she sought wasn’t there. With a deep sigh, she reached for her phone, intending to call Diana. Her finger hovered over the dial button, but she hesitated and ended the call before it could connect.“How will I even explain this to Diana if she asks?” she whispered to herself, anxiety rising up in her chest.She glanced at the clock—it was already 7 p.m. Before she could think further, a knock on her door startled her.“Becky, open up. Dinner is ready,” her mother called gently from the other side.“I’m not hungry,” Becky replied at once, with a feeling of anger.“Please, open the door,” her mother said again, knocking lightly.“Please, just leave me alone,” Becky said again.After a pause, she heard her mother’s footsteps retreating. “If

  • Please! Marry Me Again    Chapter 37- Only the address is correct

    It was early morning, and Mr. Alexander sat in the back seat of his car alongside his personal assistant, Mr. Tom. The car was halfway to the office when Tom broke the silence.“Sir, Mrs. Darlington has sent the address you requested.”Alexander said nothing in return. A few minutes ago, they had been speaking freely, but at the mention of the address, Alexander had withdrawn into himself. Tom, knowing his boss well, immediately refrained from saying more.The silence lingered until Alexander unexpectedly broke it.“I need a bunch of white roses,” he said coldly.Tom signaled the driver, prompting a change in direction. Moments later, the car pulled up to a small grocery store. Tom, dressed in his black suit, stepped out and hurried inside. It didn’t take long before he emerged with a carefully selected bunch of white roses.“Here they are, sir,” Tom said as he climbed back into the car.“Take me to the cemetery where my wife is buried.”Tom’s eyes briefly widened in surprise. It was

  • Please! Marry Me Again    Chapter 38 - I left with good impression

    It was unimaginable! No one had expected it. Becky herself could hardly believe it. The appearance of such a staggering amount of money left her stunned. Her heart raced as she tapped the screen of her phone, rechecking to ensure she wasn’t dreaming. In her shock, the phone slipped from her hands and clattered to the floor. She quickly picked it up and turned to her father.“Dad, look at this,” she said, struggling to keep her voice calm, not to be overly excited over her own money. “This is the starting fund for my investment.”Her father frowned as he took the phone, squinting at the screen. “You have this much, and you never told us?”“How much is it?” her mother asked, noticing the disbelief on her husband’s face.“A whopping five hundred million dollars,” he muttered, his voice low but trembling with shock.“Are you sure? Or do you mean fifty million?” Manni, Becky’s younger sister, interrupted with a sarcastic edge.“No,” he replied, turning the phone toward her. “It’s five hund

  • Please! Marry Me Again    Chapter 39 - Finally opened up

    Becky was about to step out of the car when Diana grabbed her hand, pulling her back with urgency."Do you know what you're about to do?" Diana asked, as she acted like a friend who cares. "What kind of money do you even have to be coming here?"Becky turned to face her friend, her expression was firm, and then there were racing and conflicting thoughts in her mind."Becky," Diana pressed, "you don’t have this kind of money. And even if you did, shouldn’t you invest it or use it for something more meaningful? Look at me—I’m jobless, for heaven’s sake!"Becky exhaled deeply, trying to maintain her composure. "How many times do I have to tell you? I have a job for you. Just trust me, Diana. Let’s go inside, have a few glasses of wine, and then we can talk properly."Diana raised an eyebrow, her lips curving into a mocking smirk. "Since when did you start living like some fancy lady of leisure?"Becky hesitated, unsure whether to reveal everything or keep parts of her story hidden. Her g

  • Please! Marry Me Again    Chapter 40 - In the same hotel

    While driving back, Alexander sat silently in the car, his expression distant and heavy with emotion. Arthur, seated beside him, could sense the weight of Alexander’s mood, which seemed to dictate the atmosphere in the car.“Being so sad won’t do him any good, it will only worsen his situation.” Arthur thought to himself, searching for a way to break the silence. Before he could find the right words, Alexander spoke.“Will watching those video clips your men collected help with anything?” he asked abruptly.Arthur hesitated before replying. Turning to face Alexander, he carefully considered his words, mindful of how fragile Alexander had become during this difficult time of always thinking of his late wife.“As I said earlier, she’s gone. There’s no bringing her back. If you’re talking about meeting someone new, another wonderful lady, that’s possible. I would go to any lengths to find someone for you,” Arthur said gently.“I’m not interested in other women,” Alexander replied coldly.

    “Who…?” Becky paused as she heard the sound of male shoes retreating. “Who is there?” she asked again, her voice trembling because of the footsteps. The gradual retreat of the sound somewhat calmed her.“Maybe it’s one of the hotel staff. That is definitely not Diana’s footsteps,” she thought, her eyes fixed on the door as she adjusted her position on the bed. Even though the sound had faded, Becky couldn’t shake her fears. Whoever had been there had paused at the door, as if about to open it, before stopping and walking back.Some minutes later, softer footsteps approached. This time, Becky felt more at ease, certain it wasn’t the same person. The door creaked open.“What kept you so long?” Becky asked, trying to raise her voice without letting it carry beyond the room and she demonstrated her hands.“What, Becky? Did I take that much time?” Diana replied, walking towards her.“Were you the one who came earlier and almost opened the door?”“No. Someone tried to open the door?”“Yes.”

  • Please! Marry Me Again    A Home of My Own

    Kathrine’s POVI felt so dizzy I might have collapsed if I hadn’t been sandwiched between Henry and Noah, their strong bodies holding me up. The kitten, tired of being squished, had climbed onto my shoulder, her tiny claws pricking my skin.Was this real? Had I slipped into some alternate reality? Maybe the almond milk my mom gave me had sent me into a coma, and this was all just a dream. Because who in the world gives their girlfriend a house for her nineteenth birthday?But it wasn’t the price tag or the extravagance of the gift that hit me the hardest. It was the understanding.Henry and Noah knew. They knew that for the past three and a half years, my life had been nothing but temporary, unstable, unreliable, and downright terrifying. When I lost my dad, I lost my home, my safety, my security. I’d followed my mom from one boyfriend’s place to another, always feeling like an unwanted third wheel, always at the mercy of strangers. I thought I’d built up a tough shell, that I was str

  • Please! Marry Me Again    The Unexpected Gift

    Kathrine’s POVI wasn’t expecting any more gifts from the Robert brothers. They’d already spoiled me with flowers, a fancy stainless steel water bottle, an incredible dinner on the gazebo, and those stunning rings. I couldn’t stop twisting the rings on my finger, just to remind myself this was real. This wasn’t some scene from one of my romance novels—this was my life.But when they drove me out to the waterfall, I almost melted. It was such a sweet, romantic gesture, taking me back to where it all kind of began. Okay, technically, it started at the Professor’s house, but our first real date was here, at the swimming hole under the man-made waterfall. That was the moment I started to believe I could actually be with both of them.When we arrived, there was a blanket laid out on the grass, scattered with rose petals. A vase of fresh flowers sat beside a white box tied with a big red bow. They sat facing me, their eyes full of anticipation, like they were waiting for something huge. It

  • Please! Marry Me Again    She’s so cute

    Henry’s povI woke up before the sun even started to rise, the sky still dark over the mountains. Kathrine was curled up next to me, our legs tangled together with Noah’s. My brother was on the other side of her, holding her close while she faced me. At some point during the night, we’d kicked off the blankets, but the three of us together kept the bed warm and cozy.When Noah and I planned her late birthday dinner, we never imagined it would end the way it did, with the most incredible, unforgettable night of my life. Maybe even our lives. I reached for her hand in the dark, my fingers brushing over the ring she now wore. She’d accepted it. She’d accepted us.Kathrine stirred, stretching with a soft groan. “Oh my God,” she mumbled, her voice still heavy with sleep. She threw a leg over mine and sighed. “I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus. No, make that two buses.”I smiled, brushing her hair back from her face. Even in the dim light, I could see how beautiful she looked. “I’m sorry,

  • Please! Marry Me Again    I could go anywhere I wanted

    Kathrine’s POVI should have done this a long time ago. Sliding behind the wheel of my new car, I gripped the steering wheel a little tighter than necessary, just to remind myself that it was real, this was real. The scent of pine-tree air freshener mixed with the sharp, chemical tang of whatever they used to polish the interior at the dealership. It wasn’t exactly pleasant, but it smelled like freedom. Like a fresh start.No more asking for permission. No more borrowing keys. No more waiting for some taxi driver to show up at his own pace. This was my car, and I could go anywhere I wanted, whenever I wanted.It should have been a good feeling, liberating, even but there was a dull ache gnawing at the back of my mind.My mother wasn’t speaking to me.Late last night, I’d heard her voice sharp and angry, drifting from the other end of the house. I couldn’t make out every word, but I didn’t have to. I knew exactly what the argument was about.She must have gone to Weah, her voice rising

  • Please! Marry Me Again    I want to sleep with her tonight

    Noah’s PovEven though Kathrine was trying to hide it, I could see she was upset. When I got to the dojo, she was already there. She had taken off her jacket, put on boxing gloves, and was hitting the heavy bag hard. She wasn’t just practicing, she was putting all her strength into every punch and kick. I could almost feel the force of her hits. Her face was red, her breath was sharp with each strike, and sweat was running down her neck.It was impressive and attractive, but also a little scary.I wouldn’t want to be that bag, but that wasn’t what worried me. It was the way she was fighting, so intense, so focused, so fierce. It was like she was fighting for her life. Or maybe she was punishing herself.After what Henry told me about her meeting with her mom, I thought it might be a mix of both. I wasn’t sure if I should stop her or let her keep going. Since we were in the dojo and she was higher-ranked than me, I felt unsure of what to do.Luckily, Clement noticed something was wrong

  • Please! Marry Me Again    I need to know

    Kathrine’s Pov“Time to face the executioner,” I muttered under my breath as I opened the door and headed downstairs to confront my mother. My purse was slung over one shoulder, and I could hear the keys to my new car jingling inside, almost as if they were taunting me. I kept my face calm and composed, but inside, my stomach was churning with nerves. I had no idea how my mother was going to react, and I really didn’t want Henry to witness it if she completely lost it.I found her pacing back and forth between the living room and the kitchen. She had kicked off her heels by the back door and I mean kicked. One of them had flown halfway across the room. Her hair, which had been neatly tied up, was now loose and floating around her flushed face. Her pupils were tiny pinpoints, and she was shaking with anger. She was furious, and it showed in every movement.I took a deep breath, trying to detach myself from her emotional state. It wasn’t easy. Her stress and anxiety felt like invisible

  • Please! Marry Me Again    You bought a car?

    Kathrine's povBuying my own car might have been a little impulsive, but I didn’t regret it. Well, not entirely. The process wasn’t exactly smooth, though. I had to visit three different dealerships before I found a salesman who actually took me seriously. The first one looked me straight in the eye and told me to come back with my parents. Can you believe that? The second one laughed in my face when I said I wasn’t interested in financing and planned to pay in cash. It was frustrating, to say the least. But at the third dealership, I finally found a guy who treated me like an adult. We talked about the pros and cons of different cars within my budget, and after some back-and-forth, I settled on a modest, older Toyota with low mileage. It wasn’t flashy, but it was reliable and affordable.I paid for the car in full and drove it off the lot, feeling a mix of pride and guilt. This was my first car, and it should’ve been a happy moment, but instead, I couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling in

  • Please! Marry Me Again    How much longer?

    Henry’s POV“How much longer?” I barked into the phone, my patience hanging by a thread.“We’ll wrap up by Tuesday,” said Guy Wilson, the contractor I hired to handle the asbestos cleanup at the old factory. “After that, you’ve got to wait at least 48 hours for the air to clear. Honestly, with a job this big, I’d give it a full week before we run the final tests to make sure it’s safe.”I rubbed my eyes, frustration gnawing at me. A week shouldn’t feel like a lifetime, but with the chaos at home, it felt like an eternity.I always knew Kathrine’s mom wouldn’t be on board with us, but I didn’t expect her to go full attack mode. The way she tore into Kathrine was disgusting, shaming her, calling her awful names. It made me sick.That morning at breakfast, Clara dropped the bomb. “You’re grounded,” she announced, her tone dripping with superiority. “And you’re not touching your car. Got it?”Kathrine didn’t even blink. She just raised an eyebrow, squeezed a lemon into her water bottle li

  • Please! Marry Me Again    The outsider

    Kathrine's POVThis wasn’t going to blow over. I could feel it in my bones, like the ache of a storm before it hits. The tension in the house was thick enough to cut with a knife, and I knew it was only a matter of time before everything came crashing down. Unless I walked away from whatever this thing was between the Robert brothers and me, my mom and Weah would keep pushing. And I’d be the one caught in the crossfire.I was the odd one out here. The outsider. The girl who didn’t belong in the Robert’ world. And honestly, I could see why my mom was so uncomfortable. Weah, her professor boyfriend, was all about appearances. He was the kind of guy who ironed his socks and probably had a spreadsheet for his grocery list. I could practically see him breaking things off with her if I caused too much of a scene. The thought made my stomach twist.Even if I ignored my mom and Weah, this thing with the twins was a risk. A huge one. Relationships were messy enough, but with two brothers? It w
