Arabella Rivera was having mixed emotions when Serenity Rivera started to recount what happened.

John wasn’t doing well in the Grant family back then. He had fallen out with Zach Grant and was often repressed by Shia Grant after entering Grant Group.

How could he think of giving Arabella a good life as his wife when he hadn’t sorted his out yet?

At the same time, Serenity received 10% of Rivera Group from Benjamin for her birthday. It was no mystery to anyone by then that Serenity would be the one to inherit Rivera Group.

Marrying Serenity would mean that he would also have the backing of the Rivera group to strengthen his position in Grant Group. With that in mind, John proposed a fake marriage to Serenity.

It took Serenity three days of careful thought before agreeing.

She had two reasons for doing so. The first was that she had always been envious of John and Arabella’s beautiful love that lasted for more than ten years. The second was due to her love life.

    He entered the bathroom but could no longer see her figure clearly through the matte glass. He could only see the fog inside.He frowned and pushed open the bathroom door. He was shocked to feel the hot air. Then, he took two steps forward to turn off the shower. His face was frighteningly dark. “What are you doing?”Arabella didn’t feel embarrassed as she looked at him blankly.Daniel’s gaze turned cold when he saw the large patch of red on her skin.Even though the bathroom was filled with steam, her face was as pale as a sheet of paper.He took the towel and wrapped it around her, then carried her out of the bathroom and threw her on the bed angrily.The bed was very soft, so the fall did not hurt. Before she could react, a black shadow pressed down on her.He placed one hand on her side. The other hand was embedded in her chin. His warm voice was filled with suppressed anger. “Why did you hurt yourself?” When she met his sharp gaze, her dark eyes focused and her gaze gradually bec

    Daniel did not stop as he continued walking while buttoning up his coat.When Daniel returned to South Bay, the family doctor had just arrived. The two of them drove into the villa one after the other.Mrs. Winstead heard the sound of cars arriving and came down the stairs. When she saw Daniel return, she was so shocked that her mouth was half open. “Young…Young Master!”“How’s she doing now?” Daniel rushed upstairs.“Her fever is getting worse.” Mrs. Winstead and the family doctor quickly followed.Daniel pushed the bedroom door open and walked closer to take a look.

His actions were especially serious and careful.After a few minutes, Daniel remove

    “How is she?” asked Daniel rather indifferently.“She just had her lunch and is still reading a book,” said Mrs. Winstead as she glanced upstairs.Daniel replied with an ‘OK’ and hung up without saying anything else.Mrs. Winstead was a little confused when she heard the immediate dead tone coming from the receiver. She did not know why Daniel called.After giving it some thought, she realized that it was her answer and not his question that mattered.He just wanted to know if Arabella had eaten and what she was up to.She remembered how Young Master had taken care of Young Madam yesterday when the latter had a fever. It was obvious to her that Young Master cared about Young Madam.She poured a glass of water and brought it up to the second floor. She knocked on the bedroom door and Arabella’s gentle voice came from inside. “Come in.”She pushed the door open and walked in. Then, she placed the glass of water beside Arabella’s hand.

    He hummed faintly and paused for a moment before saying, “You don’t have to wait for me next time I’m late.”The two fell silent again.Recalling the perfume she had smelled on his clothes, she turned around and faced him. Looking at his broad back, her chest felt heavy and uncomfortable. Suddenly, she reached out and hugged his waist. “I’m cold.”Daniel froze for a moment. Then, he turned around and pulled her into his embrace. “Go to sleep,” said he in a low and gentle voice.Arabella snuggled in his embrace, but he did not hug her tighter or react in any other way. She rubbed against his chest again and he said with a whisper, “Don’t mess around.” However, he did not make any further moves.He was not interested in her at all.If a person’s desire was satisfied, he would be indifferent to any other woman.Thinking of the woman’s perfume on his clothes, she felt even more upset as if something was gripping her tightly, and she spasmed.She removed her hand from his chest and turned

    In the Beginning The airport was as busy as usual, and a sweet female voice could be heard reporting the flight numbers over the broadcast.Upon the arrival of a flight from California to the Philippines, the passengers walked out of the arrival hall like a swarm of bees.A slim girl walked out of the corridor while dragging her luggage out. She was wearing a T-shirt, which had words printed on it, as well as a pair of dark blue pencil jeans. Her naturally wavy hair was also tied up into a ponytail.She had pale skin and was very tall and slender. Moreover, she had a pure and peaceful demeanor that made her stand out among the crowd.Once Mr. Ramil Oliveros, who came to welcome her at the airport, saw her, he immediately went forward to take the luggage from her. “Miss Arabella Rivera,” greeted Mr. Ramil.Arabella Rivera scanned her surroundings and realized that Mr. Ramil was the only one who had come to fetch her at the airport. She could not help but curl her lips up in ridicule.

    After he hung up the call, Johnny Gravidez remained silent for a while before calling the office line, which was answered by his assistant. After the call was connected, he said, “Book a dinner appointment with President Garcia of Zenith Group.”Alfred replied, “Yes, President Gravidez.”The President’s office was located on the 28th floor. Standing in front of the curtained window, Johnny was wearing a white blouse and had his sleeves folded up, showing off his muscular arms.He clearly remembered that evening when Arabella left three years ago. She destroyed all of their photos and threw away everything that was related to him. Her determined tone of voice was filled with hatred.“Johnny Gravidez, let’s hope that we will never meet again in this life.”He closed his eyes and gently mumbled, “Arabella…”Arabella sat in the backseat with her eyes closed. It was not until Mr. Ramil had told her that they had arrived that she opened her eyes.Mr. Ramil got down from the car and opened t

    This was the first time she’d met eyes with him in three years, but she quickly shifted her gaze from him.Her eyes still looked as dark and clear as ever. However, he could no longer see the love in her eyes. What was left was just indifference and calmness.His heart suddenly felt very empty, and his gaze also darkened.“Arabella, Mom and Dad went to Auckland to fetch Grandpa, so there isn’t anyone at home right now. How about you stay here for the time being?” Arabella had the presence of a big sister and was always thinking about her well-being. “At least I can take care of you here. Besides, you have been through too much overseas.”She clearly knew that Arabella and John had a past together, and yet, she still wanted to take her in. If it weren’t because Arabella had always loved and protected her, Arabella would have suspected that she was trying to humiliate her.Although Serenity had a good reputation among the rich as she had outstanding looks and a generous and gentle perso

    She walked towards Serenity and looked at the child in her embrace.Eva Grant’s skin was snowy white and tender like a doll’s. Her pinkish cheeks were chubby, and her black eyes were round. She looked very cute.The mist under her eyes gradually disappeared as she reached out and touched the child’s cheeks. It was smooth like an egg with the shell removed, and so chubby.This was his daughter, Eva Grant.By giving his child the name Eva Grant, did it mean that Serenity and the child were his one and only?John suddenly spoke. “The name is not derived from ever. We just thought it’d be a pretty nickname for Evangeline.”She froze and bitterly smiled. Regardless of which name it was, it could not change the current outcome.He had a wife and a child whose name was Eva Grant. This replaced the daughter they had once imagined together.Arabella realized that Serenity was not herself, yet she could not be bothered with her as she said in a frantic tone, “John, Eva is having a stomachache.”

    Serenity looked at the calendar on her desk and her fingers swiped across the numbers on it. Today’s date was circled, marked because she had a business banquet to attend.“Let’s have dinner together after work tomorrow,” said she after a while.Lunch break was coming to an end and it was time to go to work. Francesca passed a document to Arabella and asked her to send it to the president’s office. arabella happened to have something to ask him, so she took the document and went to the office. She raised her hand to knock on the door.When the man’s deep voice allowed her entry, Arabella pushed the door open and entered. The man had just come out of the lounge next door and had not officially entered work.Arabella placed the documents on his desk, turned around, and looked at Daniel who was fixing his tie. “The day after we registered our marriage, did you invest two hundred million in Rivera Group?”“Mmhmm.” Daniel remained calm.After dinner, Daniel went to the study room while Ara

    Company lunch time commenced at noon, and Julia was not an unreasonable person, which was why she suggested 12.10 p.m. to factor in the travel time of taking the elevator and walking over.After all, Julia came from a scholarly family.She called the waiter over who handed her the menu. She pushed it across the table to Arabella. “Take a look and order whatever you want to eat.”Arabella knew very well that Julia did not ask her out for a meal. She handed the menu to the waiter. “Give me a glass of lemonade. I don’t need anything else.”“Pregnant people should drink ‘that’ to be healthy,” said Julia.Arabella was surprised and eventually said to the waiter, “A glass of plain water instead.”After the waiter left, Julia Silver looked at Arabella with a serious gaze. “Ms. Arabella, I’m sure you know why I’ve invited you out today.”“Madam, if you have anything to say, just say it,” said Arabella calmly.“Leave Daniel after you gave birth. I’ll compensate you fairly,” said Julia.Althoug

    Since he was about to lose, Benjamin heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Arabella’s words. No matter what, he was still an elder. How could he lose face in front of a junior? Hence, he said, “Since that’s the case, let’s go eat.”Daniel knew what he was thinking but he kept it to himself and simply smiled in agreement. The three walked out of the chess room. Coincidentally, John came back from outside with a pomegranate in his hand.She had just said that she had gone to pick pomegranates. Now that John had also returned with a pomegranate, what would others think?Serenity was playing with Eva Grant so she didn’t notice this.Helena’s expression turned ugly for a moment and Benjamin Rivera glared coldly at Arabella, the warning in his eyes obvious.Arabella looked at Daniel next to her.

    Arabella and Mrs. Winstead were watching television in the living room when they heard a sound coming from the entrance. They turned around and saw Daniel. They went up to him with a smile and Arabella said, “You’re back so early.”Usually, there would be other activities after the meal, so she had expected him back around ten o’clock at the latest. Now, it was not even 930 p.m. yet.Daniel took off his suit jacket and Arabella took it to hang it up for him. She leaned closer to him and sniffed his shirt. The smell of alcohol was not strong. It seemed like he did not drink much.Daniel could not help but laugh when he saw her behavior. “I’m afraid of sleeping in the guest room, so I didn’t dare to drink too much.”Arabella scoffed. “The weather has been cold recently and the blankets are thin so, it’s right for you to have this awareness.”Arabella was very beautiful when she smiled. Her pupils were black and clear, like the clear autumn sky.He touched her cheek. He had just returned
