CHAPTER 68

BEHIND BARS

“Mother, did you report her to the authorities?” Cynthia asked; her tone was evident of fear as her voice trembled.

Seeing the bitter gaze Amelia was throwing at them, she couldn't help but feel insecure for her life.

“I swear, I never reported her to anyone. In fact, I don't even know those people!” Elena claimed, feigning innocence with fake tears clinging to her lashes.

Amelia's vision began to turn blurry. Everything that had unfolded seemed like a dream to her.

“Mrs. Margaret shun, not her mother? Then where the hell did that woman pick her from? She couldn't stop herself from wailing. To discover that her true identity is unknown to her at such an age was something she had never imagined could happen.

She stood and watched in tears as her mother was bundled into the police van and taken away like a criminal.

Grey's feet became rooted to the spot he was standing. Everything was happening too fast for him to understand.

    CHAPTER 69HOW IT ALL HAPPENED Three decades ago, Margaret's happy life turned sour when she couldn't conceive after two years of marriage. Frustrated and depressed, she resolved to undergo all possible pregnancy aid methods but none was ever successful.She thought Mr. Ramson Shun had accepted the fate of a childless couple, until one day, when she returned from work and caught her husband in bed with her childhood friend.“Ramson! Betty!” She exclaimed, throwing her bag to the ground unconsciously with a throbbing heart that couldn't stand the sight of her unclad husband with another woman in bed.“How dare you badge into a closed room without knocking, Margaret! Even though we share the same room, you are supposed to know that I have private moments so you don't barge into the bedroom like that!” Ramson warned without remorse, ignoring the stream of tears flowing through her eyes. She stood at the door, speechless and too weak to react or make any moves.“Why are you being so diff

Lila felt a great urge to share this latest development, and the best person she could share this information with was no other person than Brian. Immediately, she went and stood at the mirror, having a full glance of her beauty, her face flushed with smiles.If she could be as beautiful as this, she wondered how excessively beautiful she'll look when she changes into something nice and wears makeup.As she finished staring at her elegant features which would not waste time to get any man yearning crazily for her, she grabbed her phone on the bedside table and placed a call across to Brian immediately.“Hey, Brian, are you home?” Lila asked; her tone was a clear evidence of her happy mood. Brian didn't need to ask, because he was familiar with that attitude of hers already.He knows what would come next if he dared to answer her with a ‘no.’“Not really. But I'll be home in the next fifteen

Besides, if it is Cynthia or any of her agents that is doing that, she has a good way of dealing with them.Grey smiled suggestively at her while he pulled the chair for her to sit. Without much waste of time, he signaled the waitress, and she showed up immediately to take their orders.After talking for a while as they ate and drank, Grey stirred up the main topic that had brought them to the dinner.“I'm sincerely sorry about everything that Cynthia did to you at the hospital. I mean, she should be happy that you saved my life and not the other way round,” Grey said apologetically, putting on a pitiful look.Lila sneered in her heart. To be honest, she was still mad at him for doing nothing when he saw Cynthia's violent reactions towards her. Sometimes, whenever she thinks of the incident, she regrets why she offered to save his life in the first place.“I don't

    CHAPTER 72BACK HOME The disappointment in Grey as he watched her sashay to the gate washed out immediately; she caught his eyes staring at her, and she decided to give him a flirtatious wink. After all that happened today, he was hopeful of a better experience on their next hangout.Definitely, he won't allow himself to be as stupid as today again.Even though his depression was slightly taken away, he was still feeling disgruntled that he couldn't take things to the next level. Sure, he's going for a private room the next time they plan for a hangout, because he won't let her get away just like she did today.“But, do you think that'll be enough for him?” Brian asked, smiling knowingly at Lila.“Of course, that should hold him for a while. My joy is that Cynthia would start dying of depression from now,” Lila answered as they both walked into her apartment.“I bet he was expecting more. But too bad, I ruined his plans with my call,” Brian said with a self satisfied smile. He had n

Her hands began to tremble.Is Cynthia doing this on purpose just to provoke her? Lila slouched to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of cold water to cool her fast-beating heart. She sneered as she looked at the multiple pictures Cynthia had sent to her.Fuck! That wasn't the result she was expecting. So that bitch and her husband still got along without a fight even after all the call snubbings and the pictures?She thought Grey and Cynthia were no longer a lovely couple, hoping that those pictures she asked Brian to take would facilitate the destruction of their family. But no, it seems like Grey was only trying to use and dump her while he goes back to his crazy wife afterwards. “That guy must be a jerk!” She cursed with bitterness

Wasn't she involved in a fatal accident that claimed her life?“Besides, why the coincidence? First, an anonymous number threatened her with exposing Jannell's identity, and now her mother is filled with fear and suspense that Lila is alive?” Cynthia thought to herself.Silence fell in the room for a while. Cynthia still couldn't get why her mother was panicking if Lila were truly alive. She's done nothing to her, right? After all, her death was a result of an accident!After a while of debating in her heart, trying to figure out the reason behind her mother's uneasiness but couldn't get any answer, Cynthia was forced to ask, “But wait, mother; how did you know and come to the conclusion that she's alive, and even if it happens to be like that, why the great panicking?” She demanded coldly, peering in

She couldn't stop blushing at the choice of seductive dress she chose.“Hey, hope you know that I'm going with you as well?” Brian asked as he stood behind her.“Oh my God! Brian, you almost startled me, you know,” she exclaimed, throwing her lipstick to the ground.Brian had left the other night for his house, and she can't remember discussing going along with him. But there he was at her back, fully dressed in his own captivating outfit already.“Brian, are you sure this is a good idea? I don't want Cynthia to feel bad. What if she only planned the dinner for one?” She asked calmly.Seeing the conflicting emotions outwardly displayed in her facial expression, Brian drew closer and held her from behind. “You know how much I don't trust those people, right?

And why did we even come to the hospital, by the way?” Little asked with an inquisitive look after they left the hospital.Without a second thought, Brian answered wittily.“Sure, he's a friend, and—I actually wanted to see a doctor friend of mine, but unfortunately, he seems not to be on duty today.” Brian explained, convincingly and confusingly, to the little boy at the same time.“But—I think I know that man somewhere. He has once been to our house,” Ethan added.“What? No way!” Brian answered with furrowed brows. His mind began to race that the boy might tell his mother about meeting with Grey at the hospital.“I know who you are talking about, but this one is entirely a different person. In fact, he just returned from overseas yesterday. Probably, I think it should just be a resemblance, okay?” Brian explained, and the boy nodded.“Remember, every individual in this life has a lookalike somewhere he or she doesn't even have

Sitting in the dining room while sipping a cup of tea, he heard a knock on his door. “Come in,” he said without hesitation, believing that it could be Lila, because most times she does pass by the house before she proceeds to her office, which is just a few miles away. “Lila, I thought…” he paused when he heard a masculine voice greeting. “You, what are you doing here?” Brian said with an agitating frown. “Calm down, man. I'm only here for peace, so no need for the violent attack.” Grey, he said softly as he moved closer. “Well, you have a nice apartment.” He said as he rolled his eyes around the corners of the room. “I know that already. Can you just go straight to the point? I've got a lot of things to do .” Brian said rudely. “Alright. The thing is… I'm here for a favor, which I need so desperately from you.” Grey mentioned and paused to take a deep breath. “I… I saw Lila with a

Don't worry, I'll explain everything to you once I'm done,” Lila said casually as she tried to avoid the little boy's question with a convincing peck on his cheek, but Ethan's smartness won't let him fall for her trick easily.“Come on, Ethan, have you forgotten that you have some homework to do? Let's get it done before your tutor comes.” Aunt Kendy convinced him when she saw the boy's hesitation to leave.“Answer my question, Lila. Whose son is he?” Grey insisted as his countenance began to turn unfriendly.“I don't owe you any explanations for the paternity of my son, Mr. Greyshun. Besides, where are your two daughters?” Lila responded with a straight face.Her hesitation made Grey's stomach churn. “Could it be that she was pregnant before the divorce?” he mouthed to himself. “Fine, I'll let that be. So what about the burning down of the warehouse? The condemnation of Cynthia's dress at the party? The cajoling of m

    CHAPTER 89 IS THAT MAN MY FATHER? “Where is she?” Grey asked with a disgruntled look. “W—where is who?” Aunt Kendy replied wittily, putting up a look of confusion on her face. “Where is Lila, ma'am Kendy? Stop pretending as if you don't know what I'm talking about!” Grey retorted, his voice rising to a higher pitch at every word she uttered. “Look, Mr. Grey, I still don't know what you are talking about. Have you started going insane? How can you barge into my house and start asking me questions about the same woman you betrayed and sent to her early grave?” Aunt Kendy ranted, threatening to call the police on him if he didn't disappear from her door. Her words sent a chill down his spine. Instantly, a wave of guilt blew over him. Every day of his life since the departure of Lila, he had been secretly living with that guilt of being the root cause of her death. Even though he never loved her, Cynthia has been unable to fill that space that she left. “Oh, are you still stan

I almost got caught! You need to be more careful next time, Lila!” She scolded herself.The ride back to the Shun's mansion lasted for thirty minutes. As soon as they approached the parking lot, Grey's phone began to ring.When he checked the caller ID, he wasted no time in picking it up.Mark's brows slightly furrowed in confusion. For the long time he had known Grey, he had never seen him pick a call from a strange number on that particular phone.“Hey, what's up?” He said that as soon as he picked up the call.“Were you able to trace her?” Her? he asked, his voice filled with curiosity.“Yes, boss. I'll send you pictures of her address now. I don't think that lady is who she made people believe she is.” Th

Thanks for the payment.” The voice of the man echoed from the voice note he sent to her.Lila stretched her body as she stumbled out of the bed.In a nick of time, all the dramas that had been happening lately involving the Shun family flooded her head, and she couldn't keep away from smiling.She stood at the large mirror hung on the wall and smiled at how far she had gone with her revenge. Even though she had spent a lot to convince the shareholders to withdraw their shares, it is nothing compared to the accomplishment of her goal.Seeing Grey's face wrapped up with frustration was one thing that gave her the utmost joy.Without hesitation, she drew near the bedside table and grabbed her phone to place a call.“Hey, how's she doing? Is she still breathing?” She asked as soon as the person on the other end of the phone picked up.“Yes,

Marching towards the conference room, his mind kept racing, conceiving different thoughts regarding the urgent meeting. When he entered, all the members were seated with their faces tight up in a frown. From their expression, he can tell that the urgent meeting must have been arranged due to a pressing ugly event. “Good morning, everyone. I'm sorry for coming late,” he said apologetically as he sat down while his secretary stood beside him. “You don't need to apologize, Mr. Grey. We were the ones that organized the meeting without your consent, so we should be the ones apologizing instead,” one of the men said courtly. “Alright. So to what do I owe this important invitation from my dear shareholders? Please, I'll love it if we can conclude the meeting on time so I can get back to the bunch of work on my table.” Grey said with a polite tone as he rolled his

Immediately, he hopped into his car and headed straight to the rehabilitation center. Since the day Cynthia was taken there, he had never bothered stepping his feet there to pay her a visit. “What the hell is going on?” he rambled inwardly after waiting at the reception for more than thirty minutes since when the nurse promised to inform him. Cynthia has a visitor. “What do we do, doctor? You know how powerful this man is; I'm afraid he might sue us in court if he learns that his wife had escaped!” The nurse explained in panic. “Give me a minute,” ’the doctor said and left with confidence. “D—doctor, is everything okay?

Is this person crazy?” He mumbled to himself furiously when the number kept calling persistently.I think I need to warn whoever is doing this nonsense!” He mumbled and picked up the call with fury when the number called for the twentieth time.“Are you crazy or something?
