"State your name," the Attorney of Clyde said as the woman who made Irish William's group feel a little bit uncomfortable as soon as she showed up."Merci," she stated, and she looked at Williams."Merci. Tell us what your work is," the lawyer said carefully."I am a hitman.""A hitman. Is that your main goal, the reason why you pretended to be a room attendant and went into Ms. Martinez's condo unit the other day and attempted to kill her?"The crowd gasped. The information wasn't leaked at all, and hearing about it that it was brought up, that the hitman has been arrested and is now sitting in front of everyone getting interrogated, shocked everyone.'"Yes," she said truthfully."You are a hitman which means your job is to kill people with your clients' orders. Who ordered you to assassinate Ms. Martinez? Are they in the courtroom right now?""Yes," she admitted strongly.Everyone gasped again. Clyde's circles looked at each other as if they already had an idea who she was talking a
"Don't ever leave her, Clyde!" Trisha warned them while they were in the parking lot with their guards.Just like they used to do, they checked each side first to make sure that nothing was wrong, including the cars in their circles.Clyde bid goodbye to the boys, who couldn’t even invite him to drink and celebrate winning the case because he wanted to be with Yvette."You think something is going on between the two?" Heron suddenly asked while they were watching how Clyde went to Yvette and started talking to her."She looked like Yvonne Smith from all angles. And Clyde was smitten by her when the Yvonne we think of is none other than Yvette. Clearly, he fell for Yvette while thinking that she was still his wife," Damon explained.Callan just looked at Yvette, who looked more serious-looking. He won’t deny the fact that he admires Yvonne, but when Yvonne showed up as Yvette, he liked the changes as well, which is probably what happened to Clyde as well."Yvette seems mad at him," Cal
It was an emotional moment while they were having dinner. Mrs. Smith had already calmed down while wiping her tears. Yvette was trying to control the tears earlier, but with her bloodshot eyes, Clyde could sense that she was still hurt."I'm really sorry for this trouble." Mrs. Smith said it apologetically as soon as she went back to her seat.Yvette shook her head to let her know that she wasn't blaming Clyde's mother for what happened to Yvonne.As their conversation deepened, Mrs. Smith started asking about Yvette's plans."I'm planning to leave the country, perhaps this month," she stated."Oh... I think that's what's best for you. Knowing what happened," Mrs. Smith said, looking at her son carefully.Mrs. Smith wanted to ask about them to clarify if they had already solved their issues with each other, but she didn't want to open it up and just wanted her son to handle it.Yvette doesn't want to stay for too long because she doesn't want to feel more pain every time she looks int
Clyde moved swiftly as he used his left hand to grip his pulse, dodged his head a little so it wouldn't fire at him, and used his knee for an attack as he pushed it to disarm his hand with the gun he was holding.Yvette bit its hand until the man groaned and she got free. The intruder and Clyde started fighting for the gun that dropped on the floor."Run! Now!" Clyde shouted at Yvette, who froze in front of them.She nodded and ran to the door as Clyde took the gun, but he got hovered over by the intruder on the ground and attempted to take it from him. The intruder punched the side of his stomach while Clyde locked his other leg using his legs so he wouldn't run so easily until his men came.The intruder tried to take the gun again, but because Clyde was gripping it to no avail, he controlled his hand as he positioned its barrel to face him, pointing his jaw.They're both using their full force just to make sure that the gun won't point at them. Clyde pulled it lower as he tried to k
When Clyde woke up and glanced his head to the side, the first thing he saw was Yvette's sleeping face.Clyde noticed how angelic she was when she wasn't awake because she wouldn't show how fierce her eyes were. He stared at her for a minute, admiring her calmness, which he was proud of.He would rather sacrifice himself and save her from danger than lose another life. She may not be his real wife, but the urge to protect her from everything is just too strong for Clyde.Yvette slowly opened her eyes and found Clyde's gaze locked on hers. She looked at him shamelessly.It was the most amusing part about Yvette for Clyde because she's fearless. She's not easily fazed by someone's presence. She's not easily shy. She would stare back as if she knew that it took a lot of courage to bend her."What are you staring at?" Yvette asked bluntly."I'm just amused that you sleep like an angel behind that demon girl I know," he said raspily.Yvette rolled her eyes and pulled herself up. Clyde pull
Clyde watched as Yvette marched into the entrance of the airport without even glancing a bit. He stood there, waiting for a final glance, to lock gazes with her for the last time, but she didn't.She left without even glancing back. She left with no word. She left as if she were leaving everything in the past.Right, Clyde. You know her hatred for you. She's still wounded from what happened to her twin, and you are the living scar that reminds her of what happened to her sister.This is the best for both of us. She needs to leave. She needs to start a new life. She needs to forget everything."We are keeping an eye on her, boss," the men he sent to keep an eye on her called after how many hours, marking that Yvette landed safely.It's the only thing that's important to him. He wanted her to live a normal life. He wanted her to continue the life she was used to, with no trace of the people who weren't part of her life in the first place.Clyde engaged himself in workouts. He's moving o
Trisha's eyes widened even more when the first thing Clyde did after knowing that Yvette left him a letter was to turn his back, take the key out of his pocket, and walk out of the condo unit hastily."Clyde!" she called and peeked her head out of the ajar door, but it was too late when he saw that Clyde was determined to leave."Where is he going?" Damon asked when he saw Clyde walking out hastily as well.Trisha glanced at her boyfriend with a worried face."I mentioned the letter...""What letter?" Clyde looked so confused and unaware."Yvette told me that before she left, she left a letter for him... and it's in their room, so... I think Clyde hasn't read it yet."Damon's confusion on his face slowly vanished as he slowly realized why Clyde was suddenly ready to leave."He must be very eager to read it. Tomorrow is his birthday, and he doesn't want to celebrate. I came here to drink." Damon shook his head as both of his hands rested on the side.Trisha's shoulder loosened. "He's s
Clyde needed to gulp down the entire bottle of wine just to process all the words he read in Yvette’s letter when he was stuck by each word that kept on playing in his mind no matter how much he wanted to push it so he could read the remaining messages.He poured himself another drink while his jaw was clenching. He can hear the loud thump in his chest, and he just wants to take it out.She... admitted that she’s in love with me? And she killed it because she knew that she shouldn’t.Damn it. Damn it, Yvette! Damn it! He needed to put the letter down as he stood and started walking back and forth. He can’t control the emotions that are taking over him. It was so much that his mind was screaming that he needed to book a ticket on his way to France just to talk to her in person, but he controlled himself because he knew that he would complicate things more.He held on to the barre of the transparent railings as he shut his eyes and crouched a bit. His jaw was clenching repeatedly. He w
It wasn't the first time that Yvette got some cravings that were out of this world, and they would always end up traveling just so she could eat the food she was craving.Other than that, her mood swings were the worst. Clyde could really tell that if their baby is a daughter, it might be a pain in the ass and feisty like her mom.But aside from those things, Yvette has the weirdest hormones; they could do it wherever they were, mostly in public places, because Yvette was just feeling it so Clyde really had to be so discreet and do everything just to give whatever she wanted. Clyde could really tell how wild Yvette was as a pregnant woman, but at the same time, he was so proud because it seemed like she was craving for him the most out of those foods she wanted in the middle of the night.Their wedding was approaching, as they were already choosing some guests for the distribution of the invitation cards."You're going to invite him? Really?" Clyde raised his brow as soon as he saw B
They had dinner that night together with Clyde's parents as they talked about the upcoming wedding day."Is it at the church? Or a beach wedding?" Mr. Smith asked.Clyde then looked at Yvette."I think I'm going to like the church," Yvette said, looking at Clyde, who nodded as well."And where? Here in Paris? Or in New York?""We both like to try it here first in Paris, then we could set another one in New York," Clyde answered."Oh wow. That's actually a nice idea. With different themes. It would be cute." Maybe before the baby comes out, and then after, so my grandchild would be there at the second wedding. It's a good transition, actually," Mrs. Smith said, smiling from ear to ear.Yvette might now shout how excited she was, but deep down, she was really looking forward to it. It was an unexpected plot twist happening in her life; she didn't plan on getting married knowing how independent she was, as she knew to herself she didn't want a man in her life.But it seems like life has
When tomorrow morning came, the first thing that welcomed their sight was Clyde's parents, who were already in front of the door of Yvette's penthouse.Clyde helped them with their things, as Mrs. Smith cannot take her eyes off Yvette. Yvette was kind of nervous because she knew his mother knew she was Yvette and not Yvonne, which she used to know.Mrs. Smith's eyes drifted to her hands as if she were trying to find some evidence, and there it was: the ring."Wow. I haven't really appreciated Paris this much. But wow. It's quite not bad, huh? It felt so peaceful and cozy," Mr. Smith commented as he looked out the window, seeing the Eiffel Tower as a view."Yvette is quite obsessed with Paris, Dad," Clyde said after putting their things in their own room, which is the guest room.Mr. Smith glanced at his son. "Now I slowly understand why you're obsessed with it too. You almost wanted to live here." He arched his brow.Clyde stifled his smile and looked at Yvette, who smiled a little to
Their wedding preparation is now ongoing. Clyde has never left Yvette's side, even though her stomach isn't that big yet. And Yvette, who seems so clingy to Clyde, can't last a minute apart from him as well."Phew, lovebirds. I could really tell that you two are so madly in love with each other," Damon commented as soon as he went in with Trisha in the safe. They were planning to meet up for the food tasting to be served on the wedding day, and Yvette wanted to have Clyde by her side.Trisha giggled when she saw that even their hands were intertwined. It was so unusual to see the coldhearted and heartless Yvette, who's being lovey-dovey to her fiancé.Damon and Trisha took a seat as they both looked at their hands intertwined. And Trisha, who wanted to make a satire out of it, put her hand on Damon's hand as well, and they intertwined it.Clyde shook his head, but there was a playful smile kissing his lips. They were just interrupted when the cakes were already served.Clyde took a sm
After Clyde found out that Yvette was pregnant, he was three times more careful. Even the speed didn’t reach forty, and he would glance at her from time to time while his other hand rested on the side of her leg, as if she couldn't stand a chance of being away from him."I’m kind of worried. Aren’t you planning to rest working? You have your team. And most of your brands have a manager to handle it. You should just stay at home, you know," he encouraged as if only Yvette would just stop moving just to focus on herself."It’s just weeks, Clyde, you paranoid. And my work wasn’t that heavy to handle. I just attend invites, review the sales, make new designs... that’s all. Though it’s quite loaded every day, it’s bearable. It’s not something that requires rest because I’m having fun with those too.”"Or I’ll have a year's leave from the company to be with you all the time?" he suggested carefully, as he really looked determined to be with her."Stop it. I can handle myself as a pregnant w
Yvette’s eyes widened. For the longest time that she has been with Melissa, she didn’t see it coming. She always looked up to her like a mentor, someone whom she wanted to be when she reached her forties or fifties. She inspires her on so many levels that she’s one of the reasons she stayed in the field of fashion design, as she wanted to pursue it so badly despite the obstacles she has faced in the past.And even though she received some hate because of her decision, she will never regret that she found Melissa during those years. She will never regret that she took a risk, despite how heavy the journey would be.For the years of being with her, she has always been thankful to her, and sometimes she thinks she wasn’t thankful enough for telling it to her, for always including her in her success, for showing it to her, because Yvette believes how much Melissa deserves the world, and she wanted to give everything to her.It was the kind of relationship she unexpectedly found—a kind of
Since the day that Yvette and Clyde were seen together in public, the two have always been a hot topic on the internet and got trending on social media platforms, while they continued dating at their own pace without getting worried that someone would take photos of them while they were dating outside.It became their daily routine. Clyde would sometimes fly out to Paris, as he would spend time with Yvette on days that he missed her, and would fly back to New York to manage his work, knowing that he’s been a target by some of the business tycoons lately because his name was just too sparking on the internet for being married to one of the most successful young billionaires herself, Yvette Smith, the CEO of Yvette, which was now boosting.There was a lot of trying to bring them down, posting negativity against them together, and throwing rocks at Yvette for being Clyde’s wife.How could you marry the husband of your twin in the past? You’ve fought her case and even confessed on televis
Clyde woke up next to Yvette. And as soon as his eyes saw Yvette, who was peacefully sleeping beside him, he suddenly felt at ease.He pulled her naked body closer and kissed the top of her head as Yvette unconsciously snuggled against him.Clyde smiled and rested his hand around her small waist while he started drawing lazy circles against her back.It was the life that Clyde had built in his mind for a long time as soon as he acknowledged that he fell in love with the woman whom he thought his wife was.And now that she was back in his arms, as he fully acknowledged who she was and as he had already memorized every detail about her, he doesn't want to let her go anymore. He is willing to sacrifice everything just to have a life with Yvette.Yvette slowly opened her eyes until she saw him looking at her. Clyde crouched a bit and planted a kiss on her lips."Mornin’," he said with an accent."Morning...” Yvette greeted back in a slurry voice.Damn, how sexy that voice is!His hand was
Clyde was shocked that it was Yvette who was insisting on a photo with them, reasoning that it was because of the Eiffel Tower, but he knew it was because Clyde pointed out he wanted photos with her.Clyde took the phone out of her hand and cleared his throat as he clicked the camera and put it at the front as they both looked at the camera.Clyde’s eyes went to Yvette.Damn. She’s my wife, right?She cleared her throat and tried to focus as he clicked the camera. Yvette rested her elbow on the table, her chin resting on her palm as she smiled a bit. Clyde looked at him and smiled too.Clyde wasn’t in himself while taking photos because he was mesmerized by her beauty. For the first time, they have photos that weren’t forced at all.She’s in love with me. Damn…After taking photos, Clyde took out his phone and didn’t miss passing it to his phone.They have a nice dinner while talking about random things, away from the negativity that’s trying to snap them both, as Yvette wanted to jus
