Chapter 104LESLIEI told Caden that I wanted to go get us some ice cream as I saw some students eating some.Just before I could even go to a reasonable distance, I noticed a smiling girl walking up to Caden. I frowned my face and quickly turned around and went up to them.I could see Caden smiling. He should smile only that way towards me, he shouldn't smile that cutely towards another girl, it's supposed to be only me who gets to see that smile."I'm sorry but..." Before Caden could complete his statement, I walked up to them and eyed the girl. I looked at her from up and down to her short skirt.She was pretty young and cute too but she definitely was not up to me though."Who are you?" I asked the girl and folded my arms underneath my boobs."Oh, you must be his junior sister," The girl said. And I felt like smacking the back of her head.Do I look like Caden? I mean, do we look alike to be seen as siblings?I was starting to get angry at the girl as I frowned at the young girl.
Chapter 105CADENI smiled as I rolled to the other side of the bed with my hand searching for Lauren with my eyes still closed.When I could not feel anybody beside me, I opened my eyes and Lauren was not there on the bed beside me.I did have the thought that maybe she was in the kitchen preparing a surprise breakfast like she sometimes does. But just as I was about to leave the room, my eyes caught with the sticky note on the bedstand table that the bedstand lamp was.I picked it up and it was Lauren's handwriting."Good morning hubby. By the time you are reading this, I would have already been on my way to South Korea to meet my twin sister. I did not want to wake you up from your sleep. You already made the preparations before hand so thanks to you, it would not be difficult for me.Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself. Remember you promised to give me a week's off when I'm ready to visit my sister, I'm ready to use it now.So, see you in a week's time. Don't miss me t
Chapter 106LESLIEThe next morning, I ate breakfast and got ready to leave for the hospital. I wore a simple and packed my hair up in a neat bun.Just then, there was a knock on the door. Who could it be this early?I went to the door and threw it opened. My mouth dropped in shock and my eyes widened in surprise as I saw Caden by the door smiling sweetly at me.What was he doing here this early? Apart from being early, what was he doing here?He did not call to even tell me about his trip to over here. We even spoke on the phone yesterday and he said nothing about coming over.He had asked of the hotel and the room I was in and I thought it was out of curiosity so, I told him.I did not know he was going to come here."I missed you so much." He smiled and covered the remaining space between us and hugged me tightly.I came out of my shock state and hugged him back. Then, I looked at the hallway and when I was sure that nobody had seen him, I dragged him into the room and closed the
Chapter 107LESLIEBeing sick and almost at death's door must have changed her a lot. Even though she looked pale, she still had a bright smile on her face.It was a sight that I thought I would never get to see."Thank you Leslie, you are the best. You don't know how I have been craving for this but mom wouldn't agree to get it for me," Lauren said and pouted her lips at mom.Mom shrugged her shoulders and looked away."Feeling guilty?" Lauren teased me."Don't be silly. It was for your own good." Mom replied and we laughed.I handed mom and box of chocolates I got for her."But you know you already brought enough yesterday." Mom smiled at me."I'm not complaining, am I?" I asked and shrugged my shoulders."Thank you." Mom beamed at me while I smiled.I helped Lauren unbox the cake and placed it on the table that was with the hospital bed. I helped her sit on the bed properly. I put a pillow at her back to support her back and make her comfortable."Thank you Leslie.""You are alway
Chapter 108LAUREN"Do you love him?" I suddenly blurted out the question when I could not condone them anymore.Caden and Leslie both turned to me.I was really angry that I did not bother to hide it in both my face and my tone."Huh? Why would you ask that?" Leslie stuttered nervously avoiding my gaze."It's just a question. He is your husband right? And I'm your sister? Don't I deserve to know if you love your husband just as much as you love him?" I asked her daringly.She seemed to hesitate. She opened her mouth to say something but she closed them back without answering.Caden was looking at her expectantly as if he was expecting her to blurt out yes to me immediately.But I know Leslie and she knows what she has done.She would not dare say she loves him in front of me.I stood up from the bed and slowly walked up to her. I stood closer to her that there was just an inch of space between us."You should not covet something that isn't yours. I have told you before Leslie that Ca
Chapter 109 LAUREN Minutes after Caden left, I came with the realization that Caden might not come to me. It occurred to me that he wasn't just pretending to be playing the good husband but the fact that he actually really loves Leslie. If that wasn't going to be the case, it's best I tell him the truth. I left the hospital room and described Caden and with the help of a nurse, I was able to go upstairs to meet Caden. Even though the nurse tried to stop me from leaving, I disagreed. She ended up wheeling me in a wheelchair. I got there and saw Caden and Leslie hugging and it made my blood boil with so much anger. I moved up to them while the nurse excused herself. They disengaged from the hug as soon as they saw me. "I have something to tell you." I blurted out rudely to Caden. He looked at me with a not-so friendly look at me. "What is it that you have to say?" He asked. I smirked and took in a deep breath. "The truth is that..." As I tried to say something, Caden's phone
Chapter 110 LESLIE Mom got to where I stood and hit me several times at my back. "Ouch! Mom, that hurts!" I whined and rubbed where she hit me. "How could you let your sister move around carelessly in this state huh?" Mom asked me angrily. "First off, I did not let her leave and I did not know when she did either or I would have tried to disuade her. Second of all mom, is Lauren a kid? She should be able to take care of herself and besides, I'm the younger one here and she is the eldest. She should be looking out for me and not the other way round and I do understand that she is sick" I retorted angrily. Mom just stood and stared at me. She never would have thought that I would talk to her that way but she was being too much and I could not just hold it anymore. "You can leave. I will take care of your sister," Mom said. "I was just about leaving." I replied and angrily took my bag. "Make sure to remove that thought of telling Caden the truth from your head if you don't want
Chapter 111 LESLIE I yawned lightly and tried to turn but I noticed that I could not. I opened my eyes slowly and I discovered that I was in Caden’s arms. My face was on his chest while his arms were wrapped around me. We actually stayed in that position throughout the night. Then, I suddenly remembered what happened last night and my cheeks grew hot. I looked down at my body and I was naked under the sheets. I gasped and shut my eyes tightly. Caden was still sleeping. He suddenly stirred and my heart almost jumped out of my chest. But I breathed in a sigh of relief when he didn’t wake up. I removed his hand slowly from my body so I could quietly get up before he wakes up. I breathed out a sigh of relief as I successfully removed his hands from my body. I slowly made to come down from the bed but I was taken aback when Caden pulled me back to the bed. “Caden!” I squealed as I landed beside him on the bed. I tried to wrap the sheet up to my chest tightly. “Where are you goi
Chapter 142LESLIE Caden and I stared at each other with saying anything.“Hi.” Caden smiled at me.“Hi. It’s been a while.” I replied.“It’s been years already Leslie. It’s good to see you again and you look different too,” Caden said.I smiled and shrugged my shoulders.“Is he your son?” Caden asked as he looked at Miguel.I nodded my head.“Can we go somewhere and talk? Or can we set a date?” He asked. I thought about it for a while.“I’m free now. We can look for somewhere to sit and talk or maybe go to a restaurant. Anywhere it’s fine by me,” I said.“Let’s go to a restaurant, that would be better,” Caden said.Caden led the way while I held Miguel’s hand and trailed behind him.We got to the restaurant and sat down and I noticed that Caden’s eyes were on Miguel and his gaze wouldn’t leave Miguel.“Is Miguel, perhaps my son or are you married?” Caden asked. I noticed he was nervous.I chuckled softly.“I’m not married and yes, Miguel is your son. I conceived him the night of Chr
Chapter 141LAUREN “Calm down Lauren. Lower your voice,” She said and sighed.“I don’t need to reduce my voice because I know dad and mom are currently out of the country for a business trip and you are the only one around!” I snapped at her.“Okay. Back to what you said. I didn’t tell Caden anything. If there’s anything I told him, it is for him not to divorce you and try to love you. I’m not thinking of gritting back with him or anything.” She stated.I wanted to believe her but I just could not.“Can you prove what you just said?” I asked.“What do you mean?” She retorted.“How can you prove that you have no intention of getting together with Caden. How do you want me to believe you?” I asked with arms wrapped underneath my boobs.“Is that what you want?” She asked and I nodded my head.“If that’s what you want, I will leave. I will leave the country, if that is what will make you believe me and put your mind at rest, She said.“Are you serious right now? You are willing to cut ti
Chapter 140LESLIE I shook my head negatively.“I’m fine. I don’t need to go to the hospital.” I replied with a smile.Caden turned to look at me and his gaze had softened.“Why haven’t you come to beg my once to spare you and your family? Instead you plead with me not to abandon Lauren.” Caden asked.“I was never yours in the first place neither were you mine. I know my place and I stand by it. We did love each other and had beautiful moments together but it was all a lie because I wasn’t your real wife. I was nothing but a fake and substitute bride. I don’t want to ruin anything further than this,” I said.Caden nodded his head.“I’m the only one who should pay for this crime because I deceived you, lived with you and pretended to be who I was not. You have every right to feel angry and betrayed towards me.I know you will never trust me again but it’s okay.” I smiled.I just could not stop smiling at him.“I’m no longer angry, Leslie. I will drop the case against you. I have forg
Chapter 139CADEN During my drive back home, I thought about what happened in the hospital back in Korean.I could now understand why Lauren was acting clingy towards and why she kissed me and Leslie wasn’t mad then.It was because she knew Lauren was my real wife and not her.She knew she didn’t have any right to feel jealous.Every thing now made sense to me.I got home and I met Lauren in the sitting room.“You should get ready and go to your parents mansion.” Was the first thing I told Lauren the moment I saw her.She looked gobsmacked.“Didn’t you hear me?” I walked up close to her.She stood up from the couch and stood in front of me.“What are you talking about? Where did you go so early this morning? I woke up but I couldn’t find you, I called you but you wouldn’t pick up,” She said.“That’s not what I’m talking to about right now, Lauren!” I half yelled.I was really very angry. I never imagined that two sisters could think of deceiving me this way.It was just unacceptable.
Chapter 138LESLIE “Sir Caden is here.” A maid came to inform us.We heard the doorbell and told one of the maids to get the door since we were eating.Rose joined us for breakfast because she came to pick dad up but she came right about when we were eating.Mom asked for her plate to be placed so, Rose joined us.“You can continue eating. I will attend to him.” I told my parents and stood up from the chair. I places the chair properly and went to the sitting room.Caden didn’t look too please to see me or rather, he didn’t look like happy at all.“Good morning. What brings you here this early morning?” I asked with a confused look.“You are Leslie right?” Caden asked.I looked at him confused. Why was he asking me?“Yes, I am.” I replied.“You were the one I got married to and lived with for the past year right?” Caden asked again.At that moment, I was taken aback and felt so stunned. I was dumbfounded and speechless.I was so surprised.Different kind of emotions that I could not
Chapter 137CADEN “Babe? I mean, sir.” Lauren walked up to me with a smile and handed me some files.I took the files and went through them before signing them.I handed them back to her.“Thank you.” She smiled and held them closely to her chest.“Do you want to perhaps go on a date with me later?” She asked with a smile.I looked at her and smiled.“Sure. We could go after closing hour right?” I replied.“Yes!” She squealed excitedly. She ran up to me and placed in a quick peck on my lips.Then she skipped happily out of the house.I looked at her and laughed. “She’s cute.”I went back to my laptop and continued what I was doing.After our date, we went home. It was Lauren who made the reservation and it was a nice Italian restaurant that we haven’t been to before.We got home and it was Lauren who was the first to go to the bathroom.While waiting for her, I fell asleep. I don’t know for how long I slept, but I opened my eyes slowly and my eyes met with Lauren’s nude.It was the
Chapter 136LESLIE As I was about to wear my shoes, I stopped what I was doing and thought about what I was actually doing.“What are you doing?” I asked myself.Why should I run over to Lauren just because she called me?What if Caden catches us? And even if she doesn’t cook the meal, Caden wouldn’t say anything and he wouldn’t suspect a thing either.It’s been more than a month since she went to him as his wife and he hasn’t noticed anything, at least not to start to question her about her identity.I took my phone and called her.“Are you already on your way?” She asked immediately she answered the call.“Why don’t you call Caden and tell him you won’t be able to cook the food because you are feeling sick? Or rather, you can order the food and make it look as if you cooked the food.” I told her.“Are you crazy Leslie? What the hell are you saying?” She yelled at me.“I don’t think I can come over and help you with what you want,” I said.“What? You can’t come? It’s our family’s li
Chapter 135PAULINE "You haven't been answering my call or replying my texts," I said with a scoff."But I did answer your call. What do you want from me?" Tessa replied from the other side of the phone."You know the stuff we talked about before? That I would prove that the girl married to your boss is actually the person I know." I told her with a smirk."That was a long time ago. I thought you already forgot about it like I did. Whether she is not the right person or not, I don't care anymore.I almost went to jail. Caden told me it was because his wife pleaded with him not to do any of that and the case was dropped." She replied and I heard her take in a deep breath."I left the country months ago because I couldn't get any contract with any company because my reputation was already ruined. I just got back because I came to do some stuffs. I will be going back very soon again.So, don't you contact me again. You should forget about it because no matter what, Caden won't divorce h
Chapter 134LESLIE"Hello Rose." I smiled as I answered the phone.It was late already and I was surprised that Rose called since it has been quite a while since we last spoke."You totally forgot about me." I added with a pout."I didn't, Leslie. I've been quite busy and your dad gave me a week off to go on a vacation and I gladly accepted it," She said."Really? No wonder you didn't come spend new year with us like you normally do." I sighed and my shoulders dropped."Yeah, I needed the rest and fun," Rose said."Where did you go for your vacation?" I asked her. There was a short silence from the other end and it made me curious."Hawaii." Rose replied. I stood up from my bed and placed my palm on my mouth and gasped."So, that is the reason you were hesitant about telling me huh? I thought we promised each other to go together when we both have the free time?How could you betray me Rose?" I faked a sob sound."I'm sorry Leslie, I thought you would be busy with having fun with Cade
