Mandy glanced at Andrew with a perplexed expression on her face. Their eyes met as Andrew was looking at her as well.
Mandy could feel the coldness in his stare that made her more confused. It was only last night when he appeared to be a sweet and thoughtful husband. But now, why did she feel freezing cold the way he looked at her?
"Mandy, Megan will stay here from now on," Andrew announced, which made Mandy's forehead furrowed.
What's happening? She could not understand why Megan would stay in the mansion.
Megan let out a gentle smile. "Honey, where's my room? I'm excited to unpack my things." She mumbled lovingly as she clung her hands to Andrew's arm.
"Alright. I'll take you to your room." Andrew replied, then he led Megan to the stairs.
'What's going on? Did I hear it right? Honey? My room?' Mandy had so many questions in her mind.

Mandy stood up anxiously from her seat upon seeing Andrew glaring at her fiercely. She saw the raging flame in his eyes, and as soon as he saw her, he rushed in and held her shoulders harshly. "Do you know what you did?" Andrew asked with bitter resentment. An unexplained surge of anger passed through his heart at the thought that Mandy almost killed Megan. Mandyhad no idea of what he was saying. She answered tensely. "W-what do you mean?" "Megan was in the hospital because of you! Do you know that you almost killed her? Because she's allergic to spicy food!" Andrew yelled as his eyes bulged from their sockets. Mandy's eyes widened in shock. Her face turned pale as though her blood ran off her body. She didn't expect that her simple prank would cause harm to Megan. "I-I didn't mean it," Mandy replied in a trembling voice. "You didn't m
Andrew was wondering what Megan meant by her words. He couldn't just believe that there's a threat in Mandy's life. "What do you mean?" He asked furiously under his breath. "I guess you already knew that Janeth Collins didn’t die of illness." Megan had a hint when Andrew stated earlier that he got some information about her. She was certain that he was referring to it since she learned that he was secretly investigating Donna. Andrew looked at Megan coldly. He was not surprised to hear that from her. When he accused her earlier, he anxiously thought that it's somehow connected to Mandy's abduction. What shocked him was, Mandy's life was in danger as well. "Yes, and you have something to do with her death. I found that you have a connection with the private nurse we hired." He muttered bitterly. It was Megan who was in the picture sent by Patrick to him. Thus, he didn't
It's getting dark already. The lamp posts at the park started switching on consecutively. Mandy anxiously looked in the direction where the man was heading. However, the man suddenly disappeared. She looked around, searching every corner, but aside from a lot of people wandering around the park, there were several blind spots where he could go into hiding. Unexpectedly, the rain poured. Mandy hurriedly ran back to the car. She came across Nathan, who's going to bring an umbrella to protect her from the rain. "Thank you," Mandy uttered, and they quickly ran to the parking area. Then, Mandy immediately hopped in the car. Her clothes were slightly wet. She didn't mind it anyway. She was occupied by the man she bumped in earlier. "Madam, you might feel cold. Do you want me to drop by a clothing store for you to get a change? Nathan asked in concern. "No, I'm alr
Megan was aware that Andrew would be back anytime. Thus, she deliberately provoked Mandy when she heard footsteps coming in. Andrew strolled towards Mandy and grasped her arm harshly. There was a glint of malevolence in his eyes. "You promised me that you would apologize to Megan. But what's that, Mandy? Are you trying to fool me?" Andrew groaned with greeted teeth. Megan secretly sneered. "Andrew, it's alright. I know she's still mad at me for being your mistress. Perhaps she's afraid that I would replace her in your heart." Andrew glanced at Megan and then spoke again furiously at Mandy. "You know very well that there's no love between us. So you have nothing to worry about because, in the first place, you have no place in my heart." Then, he abruptly pushed her arm away and walked towards Megan. "I know," Mandy said in a low voice, almost fragile as if her hear
Charm was agitated, and she was determined to confront Andrew. She pulled Mandy with all her strength and walked towards the door. Mandy was forced to stand up, but she pulled back her arm an inch before Charm reached the doorknob. "Wait, Charm. Are you crazy? Do you even know who his mistress is?" Furious and flushed, Charm turned back to Mandy. "No, you are crazy! How could you just let that bitch live with you in the mansion? And yes, I think I know her. If my assumption is right, she's the one who's with your husband when he came here." Mandy sat back in her seat. "Yeah, you're really keen. Do you think I have the right to throw her out?" She asked a
Andrew stayed a little while on the balcony. Looking up at the blanket of stars that spread into the infinity of space. The faint crescent moon was glowing like a silvery claw in the night sky. He took a deep lungful of air before he went back to the room. He sat down on the bed beside Mandy with concealed emotions in his heart. He looked down at her with his well-crafted brown eyes, but it was difficult to read his expression in the dim light. Then, he caressed her delicate face with his warm hands. Mandy slowly moved her head to the side while her brows snapped together. "Mom," She mumbled softly. 'Everything will be fine. I promise that I will seek justice for the death of your mom. And we will live happily after all this chaos.' Andrew swore in his mind. Then, he lay down and hugged Mandy when he noticed that she was still shivering. Mandy felt like she was covered by a thickset fea
The time was ticking. Megan needed to execute her plan sooner or later. Megan went home early that day. She's aware that it was Mandy's day off. She would seize the opportunity to bully Mandy while Andrew was not home. When Megan opened the door, she instantly heard two female voices. They were happily conversing and laughing. She hurriedly stepped in and looked around the living room to see where the noise was coming from. Her eyes squinted with a flash of contempt when she found Mandy seated on the leather sofa with another woman whose back was facing her. She thought that it was one of Mandy's friends. "What's the fuss all about?" Megan yelled rudely as she crossed her arms in the middle o
When Anna Bradford left, Andrew went to the library. He came up with a decision after contemplating the best action to take. He called Patrick to arrange everything for him. And that night, he summoned Megan to the library. Late at night, Mandy was turning around the bed every minute, finding a proper position to sleep, but still, she couldn't sleep. She saw when Megan came out from the library with a sparkling smile on her lips. She was feeling anxious thinking of what Megan did in the library with Andrew. Eventually, Mandy got up from the bed and came out of her room to confront Andrew. She was treating her unjustly, so it's better if she made things clear between them.
"Let's get back together, Mandy," Andrew mumbled as he stared down at Mandy. Mandy smirked as she removed Andrew's arms from her waist. "I already told you that I don't want to get back to you." "Don't you want to give our son a complete family?" Andrew asked. "Don't use my son for your personal interest, Mr. Bradford." Mandy retorted. Andrew's brows creased. "It's not for my personal interest." Mandy c
After breakfast, Apollo excitedly waited for his dad on the veranda. He was seated on the steel chair, looking at the gate from time to time. However, it's been thirty minutes already, but Andrew hadn't arrived. "Mom, why isn't daddy coming yet?" Apollo asked his mom with gloomy eyes. He was thinking if his dad was really not coming. Mandy crouched before her son and held both of his shoulders. "He's on the way already, sweetheart." She mumbled and gave him an assuring smile even though deep inside, she was disappointed with Andrew. It's the first time that he would meet his son, but he's late.
"NO!" Mandy hardly denied it. She hated Andrew to the core. She would not let him know that Apollo was his son. Suddenly, Lucas Cruise came and greeted Andrew. "Mr. Bradford, I'm pleased to see you here." Andrew shook hands with Mr. Cruise. "Mr. Cruise, I was glad to finally meet you." He uttered with a warm smile. Lucas Cruise and Andrew have ongoing communication. He secretly called Andrew when he learned that another group of men defended Mandy from the attack during her stay in the Philippines. He was certain that it was him. Although they hadn'
Two weeks later. The preparation for the development of Amanda Island started. Mr. Brown couldn't accept that Mandy would be the top investor for the project. Thus he doubled his investment after the Investor Dinner Party. "Mr. Brown, what do you think of the blueprints?" Andrew asked after their first collaboration meeting. According to the drawings, they planned to build loft garden villas for the guests who wanted privacy, like newly-wed couples to spend their honeymoons. There would also be a two-story hotel to accommodate exclusive guests for mini gatherings, team buildings, weddings, and the like. "It's great! I believe this island will be famous worldwide." Mr. Brown responded enthusias
Mandy was so anxious while waiting for the doctor to come out of the operating room. Marco lost a lot of blood and needed immediate surgery as the bullet hit his spine. After a while, Andrew arrived and immediately looked for Mandy. After he learned what happened earlier, he rushed to the hospital. He was so worried about Mandy. "Thank God you're fine," Andrew mumbled as he hugged Mandy. Mandy pushed him. "Do I look fine? Marco is in the operating room because of me." She muttered as tears welled up in her eyes. She was blaming herself for what happened. If she insisted not to proceed with their itinerary that day, it would not happen to Marco.
“No!” Mandy screamed as she opened her eyes and found that she was in her room. Her body had soaked with her own sweat.She sighed. She’s thankful that it’s only a nightmare. However, she couldn’t go back to sleep. She checked the time. It's two in the morning. She felt thirsty, so she got up from the bed and went to the kitchen to drink.Since it's too early, she went back to her room and tried to get more sleep, but her heart was still beating so fast. Hence, she tried to calm down using the breathing app on her phone. After ten minutes, she closed her eyes again as she started to feel sleepy again.Just a few minutes later, she
Andrew included the private island on the list of locations that he wanted to develop. He thought that it's about time to give that wonderful island the chance to be recognized in the whole world. Nonetheless, he would still maintain its exclusivity for a family vacation and not be open to the public. Obviously, Andrew loved and valued the island so much. He treasured and cherished all his moments together with Mandy there. He also used to go there every year on the exact date of their honeymoon to celebrate the memories. Fortunately, he saved all their pictures together as a remembrance of that wonderful part of his life. After fifteen minutes, the names of the investors willing to invest appeared on the screen. Megan and Mr. Brown were shocked when Mandy's name appeared to b
Mandy could see how the attackers stepped backward to escape. But it's too late. Her bodyguards quickly seized them all. It was the plan. They would start to cut off the tails of the enemy. And to do that, they need to catch the accomplices, for them to confess everything, including all the illegal activities of Mr. Brown. For the past five years, they barely got information about Mr. Brown's illegal activities. He was very cautious with all the people he would trust. Thus, they came up with the plan to strike first. They need to know everything about the enemy and expose their true colors. Moreover, they need to get back the wealth that Mr. Brown stole from Lucas Cruise. Mandy was aware that there were still spies lurking in the dark. She was certain t
Mandy glanced at Marco, who was busy on his phone. She walked to the balcony and continued to talk to her son. She explained that his wish was not as easy as he imagined. However, Apollo was insistent. Mandy had no choice but to promise that on his seventh birthday, she would grant his wish. Luckily, Apollo finally accepted it. Then, she talked to her dad for a while before she hung up the call. In the evening, Mandy and Marco went out of their suite for dinner. They chose the seafood restaurant nearby as Mandy was craving seafood since she was not able to eat last night. "What do you like?" Marco asked Mandy. They were sitting beside each other while looking at the menu.
