"So, when next will you see Rob?" Chloe asked all of a sudden and Hailey's heart skipped a beat. Memories of what occurred last time returned to her senses and she shuddered. "Chloe, you can't inform Rob again whenever I visit the mansion, okay?" She said quickly. Chloe made a confused noise and asked, "Why." Hailey sighed and summarized everything to her. "So, you see... We can't get him into trouble. It was a narrow escape, I don't want to try something as dangerous as that again." Chloe went silent for a while. "Was it that serious?" She asked and Hailey nodded an answer. "Does it mean brother-in-law got jealous?" "What jealousy?" Hailey scoffed. Kendrick was just acting based on his ego and making her feel miserable. "Rob spoke with me. He told me that he missed you," Chloe went on. "I think he's restless, Hailey. You should find a way to see him." "You know I can't." Hailey smiled sadly. "Please tell him not to be mad. I also wish I could find a way. But I can't." Chlo
"M–Madam, please calm down." The maid sat her down and tried to comfort her. But Hailey was pissed off this time. What if Sharon tainted her babies with her stupid attitude? Her eyes went to her plants and she got up and started caressing them. "From now on, I don't want her to come here," She said to the maids and they all nodded. She took in a long drag of air and breathed out her pent-up anger. She was only here for her babies, Sharon was too small to make her feel down. Her eyes wandered around the place. Her plants were all large and robust. And all riped to be cooked. Hailey had made sure they only received water and had tended to them with utmost care and patience. She couldn't wait to pick them all to the diner. She was going to make sure her customers were served food made from the most delicious and freshest vegetables. *****After taking one day off from the diner, Hailey wasn't as energized as she wanted. First, she had to deal with Sharon's indirect criticisms dur
"Chillax girl. I can't believe you're this scared of him." Afraid of Kendrick? Hailey scoffed. Well, he scared her sometimes but she wasn't afraid of him. The only thing she was afraid of was his cunningness. And then, whenever he got angry. Her body shuddered at the thought of his angry face. And Kara's laughter pulled her back to reality. "Tsk tsk tsk, get a hold of yourself, girl." Kara held her shoulders. "I'm sure he's not as bad as you think." "You won't get it." And Hailey didn't care to explain to her friend. She didn't think Kendrick was bad, she had seen it with her own eyes. "Hailey, are you sure it's not that pregnancy thing?" Kara gave her a thoughtful look. "You know, about some women hating their husbands whenever they were pregnant?" Hailey wanted to deny it. She never even liked Kendrick before. In fact, they never met each other until she got pregnant. She picked up the glass and drank her juice instead. And Kara stared at her looking amused. "Take it easy,
But the Butler took her by surprise by holding her back. "M–Madam, since you're still here, why don't you go upstairs and take some rest? I'm very sure you need it." He even tried to pull her upstairs and Hailey's frown deepened. The Butler was hiding something from her. Hailey was so sure. And was he trying to stop her from going out? What was out there that he didn't want her to see?Before they could reach the stairs, she pried her hand from his and took a step back. "Madam, please listen to me. Master would not want you to go out this early." His words didn't even make sense to Hailey. All she could see was the fear in his eyes. And his expression sent her heart racing. Whatever the Butler was trying to hide from her, Hailey was a hundred percent certain that she was not going to like it. She didn't see any reason why Kendrick wouldn't want her to go out. She hadn't gotten into any trouble with him. She could swear to that. "Madam, listen. Please go upstairs." He came forwa
She hadn't caused any trouble for a long time. However, what if she did?He didn't linger on his thoughts and instantly dismissed the meeting, which left the employees all the more baffled. Kendrick had already left his chair by the time he was tapping into one of the messages. And when he got a glimpse of its content, he left for the parking lot in no time. The bodyguards followed him and they were soon back in the mansion.But the place was quiet, so quiet. When he left his car, there was no servant in sight. Even a bird's sound couldn't be heard. The phone was still in his hand and he strode toward the large door. But something made him halt in his track when his foot touched the tile. His eyes followed the red liquid on the floor and his heart stopped beating for a second. Many things. Many scenarios played inside his head. The phone dropped from his hand and he sprinted inside the house. The Butler appeared in his sight when he got to the leaving room and it didn't take hi
She had been crying. "Hailey." He moved forward but she took a hasty step back. "Don't you dare touch me!" Hailey held out her hand and put a great distance from him. Kendrick paused and dropped his hand. "Remember what the doctor said, Hailey. You can't let yourself be overwhelmed with—""Emotions. I get it!" Hailey yelled. "That is all you know how to say. I shouldn't get mad when you're so keen on provoking me. That isn't enough for you, but you have to bring that sluty girl here to make my life hell. Well, I'm only human. And I have the right to be mad!!!" Fresh tears streamed down her face and Kendrick was lost for words again. "Hailey." He moved forward but knew better not to get too close to her. "Sharon is weak and naive. You can't give in to her. Don't worry, I'll get her to apologize.""I don't want her damn apology. I just want her out of this place." Hailey wiped at her tears. "I've already had enough putting up with you. I can't stand her I'm fed up." "She's not g
When Hailey stared into the mirror, her eyes looked dead and her skin appeared paler than normal. She dried her hair carefully and made sure each strand was dry. Then she picked simple home clothes. She couldn't go to the diner today. Not in this state. She doubted if she could even step a foot out of this room. She never wanted to lay eyes on that evil girl again. But her stomach grumbled once more and the hunger in her increased. She had spent a great deal of time in the closet and a sigh left her lips. When she stepped out into the bedroom, knocks suddenly came from the door and she halted. Was it Kendrick? She hoped not. She just wanted to pass this day peacefully. Because apart from him, no one came near this bedroom. Unless it was a maid. Or the Butler. Hopefully, her last assumptions were right. She could handle seeing the maids or the Butler at this moment. Even though she was slightly mad at them for stopping her, well, they had at least prevented her from murdering som
But the maid had told her that no one was at home. She avoided his gaze then her eyes went to Sharon who sat on a separate couch. Her right arm was wrapped in a thick hospital gauze. And she had her head lowered.Hailey's gaze returned to Kendrick. And when she stared into his eyes, he looked furious. However, his gaze was not directed at her. Her hands fisted her dress and she glanced to her side to see the maid scurrying away. She remained standing until Kendrick looked in her direction. His eyes changed with a different emotion, it didn't pass Hailey. He looked worried, genuinely concerned. "Come." Kendrick patted the space beside him on the couch. But Hailey remained unmoving. His words from earlier came flooding her senses and she had the urge to turn back and strode away. His gaze held hers for some seconds. And she finally moved. Whatever he had to say again, she had no choice but to listen. Even Sharon was here. She only wished they wouldn't add more salt to her injury.
