Episode 76LAURENThe next day, I woke up feeling refreshed and energetic.It was the first time since I got to Korean that I was able to wake up with a smile on my face and feeling energetic too. Most of the time, I always woke up with a frown on my face and feeling very tired or slow.I was always angry and mom always asked if I always woke up on the wrong side of the bed. But now, I felt free and happy. I stood up from the bed and went over to the window. It was a vvip room so, I get to stay alone in the big and spacious room all by myself.I went to the window and opened the blindfold. I opened the windows and the cold breeze swept through my face and blew my hair.I closed my eyes to feel the cold in my body."You are already awake?" I heard mom's voice as the door opened and closed."Mom, I told you to get enough sleep. It's bad enough that you do not get enough sleep here in the hospital and I told you to go home and get enough rest but you are here early again.Or tell me, di
Episode 77LESLIEI had a refreshing bath that morning after I woke up. I ate breakfast with Caden's grandparents. It was more like a feast as the table was filled with all kinds of food and drinks.I ate to my full and in the afternoon, I accompanied grandpa and grandma for a check up in the hospital. They did not want the doctor to come to the house. So instead, they went to the hospital.After the test and everything, they were prescribed some drugs to take. I told the chaffeur to drop me off and I waved goodbye to them.I got home by evening and Caden was not around. I turned on the TV and watched some funny tv shows.I laughed my ass out. I made sure that popcorn and coca-cola was by my side to chew on and drink.By night time, Caden was back and we both had dinner, it was a late night dinner because I had waited for Caden to come home before eating.We both retired to our bedroom after saying goodnight.I remembered that I gave Caden one of my novels to read and I wanted to read
Episode 78LESLIEI sighed and rolled to the other side of the bed but I could not feel anybody on the bed. With my eyes still closed, I used my hand to search for Caden beside me but I still could not feel him. I opened my eyes immediately and I found out that Caden was not on the bed."Caden?" I called out drowsily but I got no response.I got to the bathroom and knocked gently on the door but there still was no response and no sound of water running.I went downstairs and I heard sounds coming from the kitchen. I went there and found Caden eating an apple with the fridge opened."You are awake?" I called out him from behind the fridge and he got startled as the apple in his hand fell. It fell and it hit my leg."Ouch!" I winced in pain. I raised my leg up and groaned lightly.Caden quickly closed the opened fridge and looked at me properly. "Are you okay?" He asked softly. I was angry that he could even ask an obvious question with an obvious answer.I glared at him."Do I look o
Episode 79LESLIEThen, we went to an aquarium, I was the one who decided that we go there and Caden seem to have the same taste with me as he liked the aquarium too.We saw different types of fishes and other sea creatures. They were creatures that I had not seen before.When we were younger, Lauren and I visited the aquarium with our parents but she did not want to stay any longer.She could not bear the site of the animals in it being trapped. So, mom said we should leave.My own idea was not even welcomed and even though I liked being there, my parents refused since it was Lauren who said she did not want to stay.I remembered trying to bed Lauren that we should stay a little bit longer but she constantly shook her head and said no.So at the end, I did not get to see many creatures.Now that I was here again with Caden that also liked being here, it was exciting. And I saw the creatures that I could not get to see when I was younger."Look at that Octopus, it's looking at you." I
Episode 80LESLIE "Please excuse me." I told Caden without even looking at me. I picked up my phone and walked away.I dialed Lauren's number and it went through. She answered the call."Have you been watching me Lauren?" I yelled at her."Do you think you have the right to yell at me right now Leslie? Only I have the right to yell at you right now!" Lauren snapped back at me."Why are you doing this to me Lauren? I will never wish for your death and you know it. The pictures you saw, I do not know how to explain them.Truth is that, I have no explanations. They are true." I stated."No matter what Leslie, you will always be a fake and even if Caden finds out about you, you will be nothing but a mistress.I will always be his legal woman, do not forget that," Lauren said."I clearly told our parents that I did not want to do this but they pleaded with me no, they forced me to. Now, you blame me for everything that is yet to even happen.Don't worry, your fears would not happen. I kno
Chapter 81CADENI had so much fun with Lauren today and I wanted to do it again with her.The matching outfits that we wore looked so good on.It was a matching complete trouser and shirt. She wore the pink colour while I wore the blue colour of it.She packed her hair in a very neat ponytail. She looked like an high school teenage girl. She is young but she looked extremely young and cute that I could not stop staring at her.When she ate ice cream, I almost had the urge to wipe the one that smeared at the corner of her mouth.We ate dinner at a fancy resturant and ate desserts afterwards.We got home and she went to her room.“You can keep the food in the fridge, my wife and I will eat it tomorrow. We already ate dinner out, I’m sorry we did not let you know beforehand.” I told the chef.He already ate dinner out but because we did not inform him so he would not bother to cook dinner, we forgot.“Okay sir.” The chef replied and bowed lightly.I got to my room and took off my clothe
Chapter 82 CADEN I rubbed my eyes and yawned lightly. The room was bright and I had to squint my eyes a little. I sat on top of the bed and looked around the room and I was surprised to see Lauren by the window. She was opening the windows and curtains. I could not help but admire her. Just as I was busy staring at her, she turned to look at me and smiled. "Oh, you're finally awake," She said with a smile as she walked up to me. "Yeah. What are you doing?" I asked as I removed the duvet covering my body. She smirked and shook her head. "What does it looks like I'm doing?" She questioned. "Okay, I agree that I might have asked you a weird question." I chuckled instead. "I was just teasing you. It's morning and I'm opening the windows because of the sunlight." She told me, still smiling. That was when it dawned on me. "What time is it that the sun is up already?" I asked in panic. I guess Lauren saw the panic in my face because she chuckled. "There is nothing for you to be al
Chapter 83 LESLIE I rolled my eyes and walked away. I did not want to ask him what Lauren offered to him in exchange to spy me. We have money and connections and she could possibly buy anyone to her side without stress. And to think I'm being followed even outside my house is cringy and I have never for once felt that someone was following me. Now that I know, I will make sure to be very careful. And Caden and I relationship, will have to take a step backwards again. I certainly do not want to be caught in any feud. I got into the house and went to Caden's room. I knocked on the door but there was no response. I opened the door quietly and I saw him still sleeping soundly on the bed. He was not awake yet and it made me surprised. I went to the window and opened up the curtains and windows. After everything we discussed and Caden saying no to my request, it made me really mad. I got to my room and pulled off my clothes and went inside the bathtub and soaked myself inside the
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
