Chapter 95CADENI groaned lightly in discomfort as my head was hurting.Something cold was placed on my head and I managed to squint my eyes opened. I saw a blurry vision of what looked like Lauren looking all worried.I was sick and I could barely see properly.I yawned lightly and rolled to the other side of the bed and I was met with the sleeping Lauren who was not actually on the bed.She was sitting on a small stool while her head was placed on the bed, one of her hand held mine.It was so touching to see her like that. She looked so tired and it finally occured to me that she had taken care of me throughout the night when I suddenly broke down with a fever.I removed the duvet from my body and quietly came down from the bed.I went to where she was and squatted before her. I brushed aside the hair covering her face.I stayed in that position as I admired her. She is one of the nicest person I know.I feel bad to have put her in this condition when she was supposed to be having
Chapter 96LESLIEI went to the church and it was a bit far from the house. Caden accompanied me when I told him I needed to pray for Lauren's successful surgery.He didn't think twice before agreeing to follow me. We both went to church and I went straight to the altar.I knelt down and covered my hair. With my hands clasped together, I looked straight to the statue of Jesus in the altar and closed my eyes.I prayed earnestly in my heart and hoped that Lauren would be fine and the surgery would be successful and she would not be sick again.Caden knelt beside me too and I could tell that he was praying too.When I was done pouring out my whole heart to God, I did the sign of the cross and stood up.I met Caden already seated waiting for me."Are you through?" Caden asked as I walked towards him."Yes, I am." I managed to say and nodded my head."You don't have to worry too much okay? Your sister would be fine, I can assure you that." Caden told me as he tried to lift my down spirit.
Chapter 97LAURENI opened my heavy eyes slowly and my head felt light headed."Have you come to? Are you okay? Do you recognize me? Do you feel any pain?" I heard the familiar worried voice of mom bombarding me with questions even before I could open my eyes properly.I closed my eyes and opened them again.I tried saying something but I could not as my throat felt dried."You don't have to say anything okay? I will go get the doctor," Mom said and I heard the open and close.I guess she already went to call the doctor.LESLIE"Come on, let's go before we get late," He said to me and led the way while I walked side by side with him.We got to the office just in time and it was a bit surprising.Well, there wasn't any traffic on the way and the road was a bit free that it made the drive to the company easier and faster.Caden did not bother dropping his bag as he left immediately with Chester.He was late for his own appointment and I felt bad that I was the reason. I got settled in f
Chapter 98LESLIE Caden and I got back to the company. I parked the car while Caden waited for me. He held my hand as we both walked into the company.I looked at him and then to our entwined hands. I tried removing my hand from his but he held onto it tightly which made me smile.I thought he was just going to let me have my way by not holding onto my hand.I grinned and held his hand properly too. Just the little act he did made me to shake off the doubts I had about him getting tired of me already.He probably was tired from all the work.We got to work immediately we got to the office. I ran errands, did some photocopying and handed him some files that needed his signature.Chester was also helping out. When he looked at me, I would give him a small appreciative smile because I disturbed him a lot.He was really helpful. He and Caden talked about stuffs that I did not know. Well, I was on my desk while they were on Caden’s desk.Caden working is the most sexiest part of him I li
Chapter 99LESLIEI looked down and I gasped at how huge he was down there.“Ah!” I gasped and looked up at Caden who was embarrassed.He helped me stand up properly and quickly picked up his towel and wrapped it back around his waist.I ran to the bathroom without meeting his gaze. My heart thumped loudly against my chest and my face went hot.I tried to calm my hot face and shake off the image I had just seen but nothing was working.I pulled off my clothes and stayed under the running cold water.My face finally went back to it’s normal temperature.When I was done bathing, I met Caden already dressed and seated at the edge of the bed.I avoided his gaze as I went to the dressing room. I got dressed there and went back to the room and Caden was still in that position.I went to my dressing table and picked up my hair dryer.Suddenly, I felt a cold hand brushed past my hand. I shivered at the touch.“Give to me, I will help you,” Caden said from behind.I did not say anything but ga
Chapter 100CADENAfter the hot and steamy sex Lauren and I had, we were both exhausted. I laid down heavily beside her on the bed.She could barely move her body. I cuddled her closely to my body and used the duvet to cover her naked body.In that state, I kissed Lauren's cheek and I whispered lovingly at her; "Thank you for making me your first, I love you so much."She stirred gently and snuggled deeper into my body.I was happy that I was her first. I know it did hurt her but with time, it wouldn't hurt so much again.Carefully, I came down from the bed and went into the bathroom. I had my bath and wore clean clothes.I carried Lauren as gently and carefully as I could and placed her on the couch in the room. I removed the blood stained bed sheet and placed new ones on the bed.When I was done, I carried her back to the bed just the same way I carried her out of the bed.She stirred a little but she went back to sleep. It was obvious that she was very tired.I got under the cover
Chapter 101LAUREN"How are you feeling Lauren?" Mom asked as soon as I opened my eyes. I nodded my head lightly."I'm better now mom. Can I please get a glass of water?" I asked as I tried to sit on the bed.The caregiver that mom assigned to assist her rushed to my side and helped me sit up.The stress of taking care of me has taken a toll up on mom and I felt thankful and sorry towards her.She left her life in the US and came all the way here with me to take care of me. It's been months already and mom has never complained or showed any tiredness.The caregiver she got, I had to really persuade her to hire one so as to reduce the stress load on her.Mom was adamant at first saying she could take care of me and she can never get tired of taking care of me, but I did really persuade before she gave in.She finally agreed and hired a caregiver. It was not like we could not afford a caregiver, no, we could hire as many as we could.But I don't know why mom was being stubborn and stres
Chapter 102LESLIEI walked dazily to my car and as I drove off, tears rolled down my cheeks.I was too caught up in my emotions yesterday that I forgot what I had done.I wiped my tears but they would not stop pouring.I slept with my twin sister's husband when she just came out from the hands of death.What kind of a person am I?How could I even think of betraying Lauren like this?I think it was time I left and she came back to her rightful place before things gets out of hand.I got to the company and to my office."Where did you go? Where have you been? I have been so worried about you." Caden worriedly said.I looked at him and did not say anything.I brushed past him and went to my desk. Just as I got to my desk, I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen.I winced lightly and held my stomach.The pain came again and I could not help but wince loudly this time around.Caden ran up to me and held my shoulders."Lauren, what is it? Are you okay?" He asked worriedly."I...don't...know." I
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
