LESLIE

"So, how have you been Lauren?" I asked my middle school best friend with a smile.

"I have been good, you know. Just there." She replied and sipped from her coffee.

"Ah! This is refreshing. Just the way I want it." She breathed out with a smile after sipping the coffee.

"I heard they make good coffee and I decided we should have one here too." I told her. I took a sip from mine and nodded my head, as if approving the taste.

"That was thoughtful of you." She smiled at me.

"What about you? How have you been? How is marriage life treating you? How did you meet your husband too?" Lauren asked in a rush.

"Calm down Lauren, slow down on the questions, will you?" I laughed.

"I'm sorry. I felt very excited, that's all." She chuckled.

"I know you are dying to ask many questions as it has been years we last saw each other," I said. She nodded her head in agreement. "You are right." She replied.

"Well, to be honest with you, I'm actually Leslie." I told her the truth in a low w

I want to feel your dick buried inside of me, I really want you Caden," She said in a sultry voice as she advanced towards me more.She pushed me on the bed and hurriedly took off her shirt, leaving her with just her bra. I turned my face away not to stare at her body."What do you think you are doing? Get off me before I push you!" I yelled at her as she climbed my body and started to undo my belt."Don't pretend like you don't want me, I know you do, just like I do." She smiled.I held her wrist and made to push her but the door opened and Lauren walked in on us.The things she held in her hand fell and her eyes popped out in shock. She stared at us for a while before turning back and running out of the room.I quickly pushed her away from her body and got down from the bed. "Lauren! Lauren!" I called after my wife but she did not stop walking."Let me explain okay?

I told him simply. I finally put in everything and zipped my luggage."Leaving? To where? Are you leaving the marriage or you are leaving to go back to New York?" Caden asked."Both of them. You are quite quick witted. You will hear from my lawyer soon." I told him.I took my luggage and left without turning back to look at him."Lauren please let us talk this out huh? Please." Caden ran up to me and held my hand that was on my luggage.I looked down at his hand on mine and glared back at him. He understood what I meant and he quickly removed his hand from mine."I have nothing to say to you and I do not want any explanation either. I saw enough." I replied.Caden did not say anything but just ran his hand through his hair.I opened the door and left. I took the next plane available to New Yo

    Chapter 26CADENI only watched as Lauren left. I was just too dumbfounded to say anything. "Both of them. You are quite quick witted. You will hear from my lawyer soon." Those words rang in my head over and over again. I could not get those words she said out of my head, it was as if what she told me was stuck in my head.Why did she not believe me? I thought we were close enough to trust each other. Even if we did not marry for love, we were at least legally married couple.There was no marriage contract between us either. How can she call our barely one month old marriage quit?I thought we liked each other to bear each other and believe each other but it seems I was wrong.Only I felt that way."This won't do!" I told myself as I stopped pacing. I could not sit as I kept pacing around the room with different thoughts flooding in my head.I brought out my phone from my pocket and called Lauren but it was not available.I texted her but she did not reply back. I was seriously confu

I thought to myself that I needed to look good.I know I'm handsome but I needed to look even more handsome that Lauren would not be able to resist, she would have no choice but to at least listen to my explanation.I was excited too to see her. Sleeping alone in the cold suite made me realized how much I missed her. Even if we sleep very far apart from each other on the bed, it was still better than not having her on the bed at all.I missed her presence too.I took a cold shower. I could not help but smile as I scrubbed my body. I felt happy that I was going to see her, I did not know why but I felt optimistic too.It felt like I already knew her answer because of the call I made to her mother. I know she would have spoken to Lauren already and convinced her on my behalf.I got ready and styled my hair.

Lauren seem to know him and it made me worried.From what I was told, there was no man in Lauren's life.But with the way they both stared at each other, I could tell something was going on;like they knew each other.It was five minutes already but it felt like forever and Lauren was not back.I stood up from the couch and slowly walked outside but I could not find her. I heard some voices and I decided to follow it, I eventually found myself behind the gate.And I happened to overhear their conversations."Anyway, Leslie is not home. You can leave now." Lauren told him."But I still can't believe you are not Leslie. Are you sure you are married and not lying just to send me away?" The guy asked with a smirk and moved closer to Lauren. I fisted my hand in a ball but I did not move from where I was.I

You are one of our top stars in this industry and we do not want to have any reason to terminate the contract." Chester, Caden's secretary told me."Alright, it won't happen again." I grumbled under my breathe. I stared at my well polished nails and blow air on them for no reason and stared at them in pride."The CEO would be returning to the office very soon and I think he is coming with his wife. She might work with him here in the company." Her told them and I immediately removed my gaze from my nails to look at him."What? Are you serious right now?" I gasped in shock.No way! This is not happening. I'm not going to let it happen. She can't have him in the office and still have him in the office. She can be with him in the house while I get to be with him in the office.I do not want her in the company."Let's wait and see this Monday and see what happens. But please get your acts t

I sighed and looked at mom."You know, I was just staring outside as usual to feed my eyes at the beautiful serene. You went to see the doctor right? What was it about?" I asked mom."Oh, that? I went to check up on the guy that saved your life. He is in a stable condition but he is still sleeping because of the sedatives he was given. And I also went to pay for his hospital bills." Mom explained with a small smile."Really mom? Wow, that's a relief. I have been so worried that I could not even sleep properly." I took in a deep breath with my hand on my chest."I know, right? I was worried too. And I heard no one has come to visit him since he was brought into the hospital. I wonder if he does not have a family that is worried about him," Mom said and sighed.I felt pity for him and also felt bad. What I did not understand was why he sav

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

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.

    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

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.

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?
