AIDEN

"How is the collaboration going with Ace Enterprise going? Were you able to secure a contract with them?" Dad asked.

I stood in front of his desk as he rolled on his swivel chair and clicked his pen.

I sighed and almost rolled my eyes but I held myself from doing so or dad will get angry and start nitpicking at everything and that is the last thing I want.

"I'm still trying my best to convince them and increase the the contract to what they would like." I replied.

"So, you haven't been able to come to a conclusion yet? I gave you this project a month ago and there has not been any progress at all? I thought you would have been done with the crucial part and moved onto the project proper," Dad said.

He looked disappointed.

"I will try my best, give me more time...sir." I stated calmly. I was almost pleading with him in a desperate tone but I wanted to still hold onto my pride.

"Caden would not take this much time if I were to hand over this project to him. Caden has a

    Chapter 126LESLIEWhen we got to grandma's house, Caden's grandparents were happy to see us.His father and his brother, Aiden were also around.I greeted them, I greeted Aiden too but I tried my best to avoid him after that.He always had this look on his face whenever he stared at me and it made me uncomfortable. And Caden wasn't here with me.I was at the garden while the maids served dinner inside.I decided to look around the garden before I went inside.Just then, I heard footsteps behind me.I turned around swiftly and I came face to face Aiden.I made to leave but Aiden gripped me by my wrist."Let go! You're hurting me!" I snapped at him and removed my hand from his grip."You will have no choice but to come to me when I show you something about Caden. Your high shoulders that you carry about will go down," Aiden said with a taunting smirk."What are you talking about?" I asked him. I was starting to get curious."Come closer." He told me. I rolled my eyes and stood where I

    Chapter 127AIDENAfter dinner, I followed dad to his study room."Dad, I have something to show you that will intrigue you," I said to dad as soon as we got into the room.Dad sat on his chair and wore his glasses."What is it about? The project you are working on?" Dad asked.I almost rolled my eyes at him. Everytime he had something to talk about, it was only about work, work, work and if I was doing well."No, not that. It's about Caden." I replied with a smirk.Dad balanced his glasses at the bridge of his nose and looked at me.He looked interested now.I went to him and showed him the video of Caden with two naked guys on his bed."This was when Caden was twenty years old. Caden is actually gay and that was why he immediately agreed to the marriage of the Rons family eldest daughter to hide his sexuality.Look, it's been months since he got married but his wife isn't still pregnant. I'm pretty sure he hasn't touched her since they got married." I explained.Dad sighed and didn'

    Chapter 128LESLIE "What did you and father talk about? You look moody." I spoke up when Caden wouldn't say anything as we waited in the sitting room as the maids packaged our food for us to take back home under grandma's order."It's nothing serious. You don't have to mind me." Caden replied.I didn't want to force any conversation so I let him be."Please look after Ivy, she can be a brat sometimes," Grandpa said with a smile as we were about to leave."You don't have to worry about Ivy, grandpa. She is a sweetheart." I smiled."Grandpa, you don't have to badmouth me when I'm here," Ivy said with a pout and locked her arms with grandpa. Grandpa looked at her and laughed."Bye grandpa, bye grandma." I waved goodbye at them.And they waved back at us. The maids helped to put the food in the car.Since Caden came alone with his car, he said he was going to go back that way.I disagreed because I noticed he was distracted. He didn't look like his mind was here, I was afraid that someth

Just as I was about to head up back upstairs, the doorbell rang.I wiped my sleepy eyes and went to the door.I wasn't expecting anyone. I opened the door and my jaw dropped and my sleepy eyes were cleared.Lauren stood there in front of the door with a smile on her face and a luggage in her hand."Lau... Lauren?" My voice trembled."Hi sister." She waved at me lightly.I closed the door and pulled her outside lightly."What do you think you are doing here Lauren?" I whispered at her as I looked around to be sure that no one was looking at us."What do you mean? I'm back to where I belong." She replied with a dead kill eye roll."That's not what I mean. First, you said you were

I thought I had slept for long.My eyes went back to my phone and I sighed. I did not get the chance to return the phone to Lauren.My eyes widened in surprise when I realized again about what was supposed to happen today.Caden and I were supposed to do some baking and I didn't inform Lauren about it and she doesn't even know how to bake or cook.She is definitely going to be in a dilemma.I took my jacket from the bed and hurriedly stood up from my bed. I was not going to allow her get caught and put us in trouble.Just as I stepped out of my room, I almost bumped into mom."Mom? What are you doing here?" I asked."Lauren called me and she wants you in Caden's house." Mom told me."Huh? To do what?" I was confused. Lauren was asking of me?"I don't know. She said it's an emergency and yo

I straightened my hair and let it fall down my shoulders.When I got downstairs, mom tried asking me questions but I ignored her.I took my car keys from where I used to keep it. I went to the garage and my car was still there and it was dusty.I told one of the janitors to wash the car as I wanted to go out with it.When he was done washing the car, I got in and drove off.I parked my car a little far away from Caden's building.I tip toed to the door and just as I was about to open the door, the door opened and I came face to face to Caden.My breathe hitched as he stared at me."Lauren?" He called with surprise."You were just inside. How come?" He looked totally surprised."You still can't tell us apart at this point?" Lauren came up to us. Caden turned to look at Lauren and then back at me."This is my sister, Leslie." Lauren introduced with a smile. Caden's gaze could not leave mine as he kept staring at me, his whol

I rolled my eyes at her.I sat on top of my bed and crossed my legs."It doesn't matter, I would still come in." She shrugged her shoulders nonchalant."What do you want?" I asked with a sigh."You don't have to sigh in front of me just because you don't want me here," Lauren said angrily."I'm sorry." I rolled my eyes."I came to ask you a question that I have been wanting to ask you since I arrived." Lauren started."Okay?""You and Caden...have you slept with Caden?" She asked me and I raised my eyebrows at her."We do sleep on the same bed." I replied her."You know that is not what I mean Leslie! I'm asking if you have had sex with Caden. Have you two had sex?" Lauren yelled the question right at my face.I was startled and tongue-tied. I definitely knew that a day would come when she will ask me this question and I have pla

    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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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?"
