Kelsey was not sure how long she had been knocked out asleep.

It was a grating sore throat that had awakened her.

She felt as if something was clawing at her from the inside of her throat.

With that, she quickly shot up to find some water to drink.

When she entered the kitchen, she was surprised to see Yvonne boiling water inside.

“Hey Kels, you’re awake too.”

Yvonne had heard footsteps coming from behind her and when she turned around to see Kelsey, she greeted her with a warm, beaming smile.

Kelsey’s throat was so sore that she felt like she could cry from the pain. To avoid worrying Yvonne, she nodded curtly as if nothing was wrong.

It just so happened that the water had finished boiling as well.

Yvonne poured a cup for herself, then poured another cup for Kelsey.

Then, she turned around and handed the cup to her while cautioning, “Careful, it’s hot!”

Kelsey took the cup and coughed a few times.

Yvonne observed her pale complexion and asked in a concerned voice, “Are you

    Kelsey looked in the direction Yvonne was pointing at.Although there was some distance between them, she immediately recognized the man who stepped out of the car as well. It was unmistakably Tyler.“Please pull over!” she immediately beckoned to the driver.The driver did as he was told and pulled over by the roadside.Kelsey quickly paid the fare before stepping out of the car with Yvonne.As soon as they got out and looked in the same direction again, they noticed another woman getting out of Tyler’s car.She was holding onto Tyler's arm affectionately. Then, the pair walked into the club together.Kelsey was stunned by the sight and could not move for the longest time.For a moment, she doubted her vision.Meanwhile, Yvonne cried out exasperatedly, “Kels, why is Zara with Tyler?”Kelsey frowned.Even Yvonne recognized the woman who had gotten out of Tyler's car and was holding affectionately onto his arm. It was none other than Zara.Kelsey felt a sharp pain stabbing i

    The sight made Kelsey uncomfortable.Just last night, she had been sharing the bed with Tyler.Now, here he was holding another woman in his arms.“Mr. Lang, you have a very beautiful companion over there.” Seated across from Tyler was a man from a foreign land named Barton. He made the comment while casting a flirty look at Zara.Barton was the main reason Tyler attended the event tonight. He was a man of status, being the main contract partner and also involved in the mafia in another country.Tyler just smiled graciously upon hearing the compliment, he did not seem particularly bothered by the comment.On the contrary, Zara seemed upset.She had been wondering why Tyler would suddenly agree to meet her at all and even invite her to have dinner with him.As it turned out, it was only because he wanted her to accompany him to meet this perverted-looking man who came from far away.“Ms. Quest, I heard you are famous!” Barton turned to Zara with a look burning with curiosity.

    Kelsey’s entrance drew the attention of everyone in the room.As soon as she entered, she met the eyes of Tyler, who was sitting on the couch.The dim lighting in the room added an air of mysteriousness to his usual charming and handsome profile.He was holding a glass of red wine in his hand and swaying it gently.The moment he saw Barton's subordinate bringing Kelsey into the room, a wipe of shock appeared in his eyes for just a split second before it reverted to his usual stoic look.Zara was equally shocked and irritated.She did not expect Kelsey to look for Tyler so desperately that she would even show up here of all places.“Tyler…”Kelsey’s first thought upon meeting Tyler was to go to his side.However, Tab took her to Barton.He lowered himself toward Barton and whispered something in his ears.Barton then chuckled. “I see, the girl is here to see Mr. Lang!”There was an inscrutable look laced with meaning in his eyes as he said that.Tyler swiped a rather indiff

    Since the moment Kelsey stepped into the room, Tyler had barely paid any attention to her.It was as if she was just a stranger who had nothing to do with him.Even her survival meant nothing to her.Kelsey felt as though a heavy weight pressing down on her heart. She could not breathe and was slowly sinking into a depthless pit.Her vision was turning blurry with tears.How could Tyler be so merciless?Even when Tab had dragged her out of the room, her mind was still blank.She could not believe Tyler would do something like this to her.She thought about the things they did together last night. How did everything change so quickly after they had woken up after the act?Did Zara have something to do with this?She was so lost in her thoughts that she hardly noticed Tab aiming the gun at her forehead.“Since Mr. Lang claims that he doesn’t know you, good riddance,” Tab declared with a grim look in his eyes.Kelsey snapped back to her senses.She was horrified.“What are y

    Barton's eyes would not stop wandering around Zara's neck while he showered her with praises.Zara felt goosebumps run across her body.At the end of the day, she was the daughter of the honored Quests.Nobody had ever cast such bold, perverted looks at her.If it was anyone else, she would have given them a few good slaps to put them in their place.However, she endured the disrespect tonight for Tyler’s sake.She strained a smile. “Thank you, you’re too kind!”“Mr. Lang, I’ll be very blunt with you, I have always wanted to have a beauty like her by my side. I was wondering if you would share her with me and let me have her for a few days? I assure you that I will personally see to it that our business deal is carried out without any hiccups.” Barton was very direct with what he wanted.He stared at Zara intently the entire time to the point where he was almost drooling.He would gladly give a decade of his lifespan just so he could have his way with such a beauty for just a

    A hostile look flickered in Tyler’s eyes. “Don’t you dare lay a finger on one of my people!”His voice was severe, intimidating, and tinted with rage.Barton was immediately irked by Tyler’s comment.He assumed that Tyler was referring to Zara.How dare Tyler go back on his original promise!He had given his word that he would let Barton have his way with Zara, but now he was going back on his word and even shot him!However, he understood he was now deep inside Tyler's territory and that he simply did not have enough manpower with him tonight. Furthermore, his most trustworthy subordinate, Tab, had not returned yet.If he confronted Tyler head-on, things were not going to turn out well for him.With this thought in mind, he gritted his teeth and did what he could to suppress the boiling anger inside him. Then, he signaled for his men to put down their guns.“It’s a misunderstanding, just a silly misunderstanding!”He cackled as if nothing was wrong.Then, he grabbed the win

    Yvonne smiled and nodded. “Yeah, I got up early today and went to the nearby wet market to buy some vegetables. Now we can eat at home instead!”Kelsey was very delighted to hear this. “That’s great! I get to taste your delicious cooking today!”Just like her, Yvonne was born a noble lady and had never had to trouble herself with trifle work like cooking. However, she started to learn to cook ever since she got together with Adam.Over the years, she had been insisting on cooking for Adam, and with that, her culinary skills continued to improve.“Go on and watch some TV in the living room, it’s going to take a while before lunch is ready.” Yvonne motioned.Kelsey shook her head and offered to help. “Let me help you in the kitchen.”Yvonne seemed concerned. “Don't you still have a cold running? You need to get some more rest, I can handle this by myself.”Ever since she married Adam, she had become very confident in her cooking skills.Sometimes, she would even make meals for Ad

    “How is that possible?”Kelsey shook her head without hesitation to shoot down the idea.An unwavering look gleamed in her eyes as she declared, “Tyler loves me with all his heart, I am sure of it.”Even though she ended up betraying him and marrying Cooper in her previous life, Tyler protected her until his death.He was even willing to die for her.Before her death, she finally realized which one of them, Tyler or Cooper, truly loved her.She was upset that she had spent her life loving the wrong person.She lost her life for nothing.Unexpectedly, God gave her a chance to be reborn.She must seize her one true love in this life.She had to start over with Tyler this time.She was going to make the most out of her life and stay away from the scumbag, Cooper.Yvonne was taken abackIt was rare to see Kelsey so certain about something.Perhaps the scene she witnessed last night of Tyler and Zara coming out of the club and leaving together was all some sort of misunderstan

    Kelsey and Rosette discussed the specifics of auditioning for Adrienne’s new film’s costume design role.As the time neared noon, Kelsey glanced at her phone. Tyler had not replied to her text message. It was nearly time for Susan’s birthday celebration at St. Gill’s. Kelsey decided to go ahead to St. Gill’s. While on the way, she gave Charlie a call to inform that Tyler would not be available for the celebration. Charlie’s voice reflected his disappointment. “What’s this? Why can’t Tyler make it?” Kelsey bit the bullet and explained, “I haven’t been able to reach him.” “I thought Tyler adored you. Why couldn’t you get in touch with him? Did you upset him?” Charlie grilled her. Kelsey refuted, “Things have been going well for us, thanks for asking. He has an emergency today.” Her bond with Tyler could not be stronger. Heck, they nearly went all the way this morning. The nerve of her father to put her down. Charlie was furious. “I knew I couldn’t count on you.” He

    Kelsey frowned. “What are you up to now?” She doubted Charlie was so nice to want the family to be together for her grandmother, Susan’s birthday. It was probably an excuse to get close to Tyler. Since Charlie got together with Megan, Kelsey could count on her finger the number of times he had been to the nursing home to visit Susan. Kelsey could not remember the last time Charlie celebrated Susan’s birthday. Charlie could not even remember Susan’s birthdate. Yet, Charlie was so kind to throw her a party. Kelsey could only suspect that Charlie had ulterior motives. “How can you say that about me, Kelsey? I’m your father. Am I wrong to throw your grandmother a birthday party?” Charlie reprimanded. Kelsey was skeptical. “You’re not wrong, but…” It was uncertain whether he had Susan’s interest at heart. “But what?” Charlie asked. He started blaming himself. “I know that I listened to Megan and neglected you and Mom. I’ve gotten rid of her. Now, I just want to be a go

    With a predatory glint in his eyes, Tyler pressed his lips against Kelsey’s.“I’ll take your silence as your consent.” “Hang on!” Kelsey pushed him away. She meant business since it was about his sleepwalking last night. “I have a question.” “What is it?” Tyler asked in a raspy voice, his lips still lingering across her skin. His hands eagerly pulled her gown off her. “Do you sleepwalk?” Kelsey asked. Tyler paused, his eyes bearing a weight of emotions. Kelsey knew she was right on the money. Tyler had known about his sleepwalking. “Did you know you were sleepwalking last night?” Kelsey said while fixating earnestly on him. She was more concerned about his health. Tyler seemed healthy. Yet, he wandered off in a sleeping state. Judging by Tyler’s response, it was not his first rodeo. Generally speaking, sleepwalking was associated with trauma or unresolved issues. Kelsey suspected that Tyler had been through some kind of trauma, or something in his past wa

    Tyler opened his eyes abruptly. Bare and dominant, he loomed above Kelsey while his penetrating gaze looked deep into her soul.Lost in the heat of his kiss, Kelsey opened her eyes in confusion at his sudden pause. She met his profound gaze. Kelsey’s heart skipped a beat. Her breath hitched. She stared at the man towering over her in disbelief, her eyes bulging. Tyler was awake. He examined her, his eyes scouring every inch of her body. Once he was certain that it was Kelsey, Tyler was relieved. “I’m home, babe,” he uttered with a sigh of relief. Feeling assured, he closed his eyes and rested his head on her shoulder. He filled his lungs with her familiar scent. Kelsey was taken aback, but her head gradually cleared. She thought that Tyler would not stop their little bed activity. However, Tyler stayed in the same position for a while. His steady breathing came soon after. He fell asleep. Kelsey was in disbelief. Since he wanted her so badly, Kelsey ass

    Worried, Kelsey followed Tyler in case he hurt himself or fell off the stairs. He was not in a conscious state after all. Kelsey would not be so abrupt as to wake him from his sleepwalking. She was aware that waking a sleepwalker could lead to shock or other health problems.Kelsey stuck close behind Tyler and made sure he got up the stairs safely. Tyler returned to their bedroom and lay on the bed. Kelsey drew close for a look. The soft moonlight streamed through the French windows, casting a hazy glow over his defined face.Tyler lay there motionlessly, his eyes closed.Kelsey watched him sleep tenderly. For a moment, she drooled over him. However, she quickly frowned at the smell of alcohol on Tyler. Kelsey went to open the window to let in some airflow, dispersing the fumes of liquor. She then picked out a fresh pair of pajamas from the closet for Tyler.Tyler would need a change of briefs too. However, Kelsey’s cheeks burned when she pulled his brief draw

    Kelsey returned to the villa she shared with Tyler. She intended to tell Tyler how her day with her best friend had gone. Charles was somehow caught in the crossfire. Yvonne’s mother-in-law accused her of having an affair with Charles which did a number to his reputation. Kelsey wanted to ask Tyler about his opinion on returning Charles’ favor. Since Charles was Tyler’s childhood friend, Tyler must know him best. However, Tyler had business plans to attend to, so he would not be home for dinner.Kelsey was alone in the upstairs bedroom, occupied with all related matters involving her new business venture. Since Kelsey and Rosette were going to audition to design costumes for Adrienne’s new film, Kelsey felt it was essential to study the genre of the new film and Adrienne’s past fashion choices. Time passed. By the time Kelsey shut her laptop, it was eleven at night. Rising to her feet, she stretched and walked out of the bedroom. Kelsey was on her way downstairs

    “I’m sorry, Kelsey. I’m sorry to ruin lunch,” Yvonne murmured. Kelsey put her arm around her shoulder. “Why are you apologizing to me? Charles told me what he needed me for. It’s okay to skip lunch.” She paused and looked at Yvonne, her head tilted. “But Yvonne, you seem to have changed.” “How so?” Yvonne asked with a raised brow. “You’ve become composed and cunning now.” Kelsey said with admiration, “But it’s a good thing. I don’t want you to be Adam and his family’s doormat. You didn’t marry him to be his slave.” Yvonne curled her lips. “I’ve been through a lot, but I’ve learned a lot too. I had to learn from my mistakes.” She used to walk on eggshells around her husband and mother-in-law. She gave them too much leeway, and they walked all over her. In the future, Yvonne would not be so dumb as to let others hurt her again. She needed to stand up for herself. … Kelsey dropped Yvonne back home. Before, Yvonne would cry to Kelsey for hours after Agatha humiliated

    “Didn’t you hear what Yvonne said? She’ll go ahead with the divorce. She doesn’t want to stick around until you take everything from her.” Kelsey snapped an angry look at Agatha. “Your son is the one with an affair. Don’t put this on Yvonne. Save your breath for your son. Yvonne is the victim. Who are you to accuse her?” Kelsey could not stand Agatha. Agatha placed herself above others and used Yvonne as a punching bag. Charles tipped the restaurant manager the wink. The restaurant manager led a security team to Agatha. “This is a public place, not your playground. Please leave now.” Agatha was humiliated to be thrown out of the premises. Instead of breaking down and apologizing, Yvonne calmly agreed to the divorce. Agatha did not see it coming. She needed to talk to her son. Clearly, Agatha had to find new ways to keep Yvonne in line. “Hmph! In that case, I should ask your parents if they know about their daughter filing for divorce,” Agatha said. In Agatha’s opi

    Agatha’s son, Adam, was the one who had an affair. Yet, Agatha made Adam out to be the victim instead. Yvonne became the wicked woman who cheated on Adam. Kelsey racked her brain to think of ways to prove Yvonne’s innocence. Yvonne broke her silence.“Tell me. What are you trying to achieve?” Agatha’s big fuss was met with Yvonne’s nonchalant reply. For a moment, Agatha was in a daze. In the past, Agatha often berated Yvonne until the latter had no choice but to apologize. Agatha had always kept Yvonne in line through aggressive methods. Yet now, Yvonne asked her what she wanted to do. Instead of having a meltdown, Yvonne carried herself with ease. Agatha narrowed her eyes and said bitterly, “We pride ourselves on our decency. We can’t put up with your cheating. Just finalize the divorce and get out of my family. I don’t want to carry your shame.” She glared at Yvonne in disdain. “Fine.” Yvonne readily agreed. Yvonne understood that Agatha was a pro at throwi
