Chapter 111: You can't abandon your family.
While she was sleeping, Elsie had a nightmare. She was walking on an empty street covered with dried leaves and flowers. It was dark and scary, with the sounds of waves not very far away. She heard a voice call out to her: "Elsie!"
Out of fear, her heart raced faster in her chest. She turned to run in the opposite direction of the voice. Something strange happened.
She found herself instead running towards the voice; it felt as if her legs no longer took commands from her. Her legs ran towards the voice, stepping on broken glass and muddled leaves. There was a house at the end of the trail, covered with snow.
"Snow? How is that possible?" she muttered to herself, finally stopping in front of the house. It was made
Chapter 112: Don't cry, you look uglyUpon arriving at the parking lot, Elcilia hurriedly concealed herself behind a pillar, her chest heaving with distress. It felt as though her heart had been ripped from her very being."Cilia, why are you crying?" Chase Scott asked with concern as he approached Elcilia. He had heard someone sobbing and came to comfort the person. Clad in a black suit, he looked handsome as always.Wiping her tears fiercely, Elcilia shook her head. "I am not," she replied defiantly, her voice laced with a hint of irritation."Okay," he sighed, looking away, then confessed, "I am pregnant." Chase acted all innocent as he took a step forward, a mischievous glint in his eyes.Confusion etched Elcilia's face, and she cocked her head, clearly perplexed by his unexpected st
Chapter 113:Elsie, I will kill you the second I get out! "I am a fan of your products, ma'am, not your personality. Don't make things hard on yourself," the officer ordered with a smile. "Give me the flask." In order to keep the peace, Trix handed over the flask. She shot an apologetic look to her mother, but Dahlia was fuming. She threw out her fingers, wishing she could claw at the officer's face. She yelled angrily, "I will kill you. Come close. I will scrape the skin off your ugly face." Instantly, Trixson's stomach sank. She panicked and begged, "Mom, stop your threats. You are in the station." If Dahlia continued with her antics, she might get new charges. Trixson was only trying to prevent that.
Chapter 114: You charged Dahlia for assault Back in the beach house. Aiden stepped into the bedroom, his eyes searching the room for someone. He caught a gaze of her walking out of the bathroom. "You charged Dahlia for assault?" Aiden asked, his surprise evident on his face. He got the information from Chase. At this time, Elsie came out from taking a bath draped in a towel, another used to wipe her hair. She tossed her hair, dabbing the water off as she replied. "Yes, I did." "Why didn't you inform me?" Aiden questioned, sounding pissed. They had been on their honeymoon for three days now, and she had not bothered to tell him about it. "Huh," Elsie res
Chapter 115: "Don't you love me anymore?" "How long have you had this? I remember giving this to a homeless man. I thought he must have pawned it," Elsie inquired, her face beaming with joy. It was the ring. The ring she had been searching for.Her heart raced from excitement.Drifting her gaze on the ring, her smile grew bigger. She had given it away after she found out he was cheating on her. Elsie had spent a lot of time and energy searching for this ring. When it was right under her nose. "He did," Aiden admitted softly. "The shop he sold it to contacted me after they had arrested him, thinking he had stolen it. You see, this ring was tailor-made for you. It had my trademark on it and was one of a kind," Aiden explai
Chapter 116: You can run away with your lover Realization dawned on her face, and she pushed him. Her face was distraught as she inquired, in almost a whisper, "Don't you love me anymore?" Rather than providing answers to her questions, Aiden bent to pick up the towel and draped it around her shoulders, looking away. "Get dressed, Elsie. We need to talk." "About what?" She grabbed his arms, tugging on them in anger. "What is it about?" Aiden attempted to caress her cheek, but she pushed his hand away. "Don't touch me!" His face contorting in agony, he walked out of the room. "I'm sorry." Left to her despair, Elsie felt loss and devastation. She wrapped herself with the towel, tears filling up her caramel-colored eyes. "What should I do now? I don't want to hear what he wants to say," Elsie sobbed, clasping her palm over her mouth. Uncertainty clouded her mind, and she was stuck with fear biting her heart. Looking at her reflection, Elsie watched the
Chapter 117: I hate him. Her vision blurred, and the room began to spin, a kaleidoscope of colors whirling around her. She stumbled, her legs trembling beneath her like jelly. Her mind was a jumble of fragmented thoughts, each one screaming for attention like a siren. _Aiden killed my mother._ _Aiden is responsible for my brother's death._ _He lied to me for years._ _He married me out of guilt._ _He doesn't love me._ _I hate him._ Then, everything went black. Flashback____ The rain drizzled so faintly that one could barely see it if not focused. Only the drops on one's skin could remind one of its presence. A younger Elsie of only nineteen arrived at the Scott mansion. Clad in black jeans and a white tucked-in shirt which was stained with mud, including sections of her head. "Sweet Jesus!" Aunt Paulina exclaimed upon seeing Elsie. She clasped her hand over her mouth. "Set her a shower," she instructed one of the servants. "Good
Chapter 118: You have lost the right to call me that Aiden's question pulled Elsie back from her daze. She had lost consciousness, only to find herself back in the Morbida Mansion, sleeping in their bedroom. A sense of nostalgia overcame her. Slowly, she redirected her gaze to Aiden. In only a short time, he had aged. His eyes appeared exhausted, and the stubble on his chin made him appear older. Elsie's heart clenched upon seeing him. His face contorted in agony; Aiden did not look like his normal confident self. It made her sad. However, memories of what had taken place on the island played back like a TV montage. Soon, tears blurred her eyes, and she blinked them away. Without tossing a glance at Aiden, Elsie implored, sounding cold, and distant, "When did we get back?" Clearing his throat, Aiden said simply, his eyes portraying his regret, "You fainted and knocked yourself out. You have been asleep for three days." "Three days," Elsie recited, as though try
Chapter 119: Will you cry if Iet go? Elcilia sat at the small table, reading the comments of the anxious readers who were awaiting the reveal of the actress acting as 'Phine Asong'. The company had announced the reveal to happen within a week. Readers who had read the book beforehand were awaiting excitedly, even though they had their own image formed in their heads. It was a strange yet sweet thing that came along with reading a book. You imagine how the character in your head looks like, per the description. Still, everyone has their own image, some might be similar and not. It might even divert from the image the author had in mind, the cover might be the call for some. Now, the company's comment section was raining with comments from fans. "@Briellieluv: Can't wait. Phine is my favori
