“How dare you, Justin? Why are you finding it difficult to understand the fact that I am your wife? You are married to me legally, don't you get it?” Patricia broke into tears as she threw the parcel at him.Actually, she had just gotten the parcel from the delivery man. It was the parcel her husband had sent to her stepsister.“She… She returned it, huh? Didn't she like the color? Does that mean that her leg got bigger, and it doesn't fit her?” Justin sprang up from the couch with his eyes widened.Patricia sniffed hard in heartbreak. “Excuse you?”“Why did she return it? Did you ask the delivery man?” He anxiously inquired.“Damn you, Justin! Damn you! I'm your wife, for goodness's sake. You just cheated on me by sending gifts to your ex-girlfriend who happens to be my stepsister, and you have the guts to ask me that?” Patricia cried out.Justin bowed his head. “I… I only sent a gift to her. Not like I've seen her for god-knows-how-long.” “Are you supposed to send a gift to your ex
“Aww…. Patricia, my darling. You have the cutest baby boy.” Her mother hugged her as the nurse carried the baby.Forcing a smile at her, Patricia replied. “Thank you, mom. Where's Justin, by the way?”“Oh, I only saw him when I arrived, but I couldn't find him later. I was told he paid the hospital bills, and left.” Claudia, her mother said.Upon hearing that, Patricia flashed back to the incident that happened before she went into labor. “Mom, may I ask you a question?”“What is it, baby? I can see bitterness in your eyes. Today is supposed to be the happiest day of your life, you just got yourself a sister.” Claudia held her hand.“Should I be happy? Should I really be happy after finding out that my husband is still seeing his ex?” Patricia sobbed.Claudia boiled in anger to see her lovely daughter so sad. “Pat, you shouldn't cry. You just gave birth, and the least of the things you need now is worrying.”“I'm trying not to get worried, but I just can't get over it. Mom, I just fou
“Your daughter?” Lisa's mother mocked.Valerie smirked with an affirmative nod. “You heard me. She's my daughter, and you have no right to bully her.”“How is that possible? The Audrey I know doesn't have a mother, you're an imposter. Or probably she hired her to pose as her mother.” Lisa scoffed.With that, Audrey shook her head with a calm smile. “Are you so blind that you can't see it? Is there anyone who doesn't have a mother?”Lisa glared at her, and turned swiftly to her mother. “Mommy, don't believe them. Throw them out of here. Audrey can get anything she wants, but there's no way I'm letting her and her imposter of a mother ruin the party.”“Isn't that what we call partiality? Everyone was told to come to this party with their mother, and just like every one of you, Audrey came with her mother, and you want to throw her out? What makes you so sure that I'm not her mother?” Valerie snapped.“Young woman, we all know that she doesn't have a mother.” Lisa's mother snapped.Tears
Valerie was wheeled to the emergency room on the stretcher. She was unconscious as they wheeled. “Sir, I'm sorry you can't get into the emergency room. Please stay in the lobby.” One of the nurses restricted him.President Ethan scratched his head, confused. Valerie was obviously poisoned, but who could have poisoned her? Thoughts kept running through his mind.Shortly, Susan rushed towards Ethan. She quickly grabbed his shirt, wailing sadly. “Where is Valerie? Where's my best friend?” “Oh! Thank goodness you're here, she's in the emergency room. The doctor has yet to tell me what's going on.” Ethan replied.Susan continued sobbing. “Tell me, what happened? Did she get into an accident? We spoke this morning, and she was hale and hearty.”“I really can't say. The only thing I know is that she rushed downstairs, vomiting blood.” He explained.“Blood? Oh, God! Why is this happening to my friend? I hope she's okay. I don't know what I would do if something happens to her.” They were s
“What?”Valerie struggled up from where she was seated. She felt like she didn't hear what the servant said. “Yes… yes… it's her.”Snorting in disbelief, Valerie continued. “That's not possible. Clara can never do that to me. Why would you be lying against her?” “Valerie, I think you should let her speak. We have to find out who poisoned you and why.” Ethan said as she sat down reluctantly.Valerie gulped. “I just don't believe this. I can't believe this. Clara and I are best of friends, there's no way she would have poisoned me, right?”Just then, the guards dragged Clara to where President Ethan and Valerie were. Pushing her to her feet, she panted heavily.“Tell them, Clara. Tell them that she's lying against you. I mean, you can't possibly be the one who wants me dead, right?” Valerie rushed to her and helped her up.Suddenly, Clara slapped her hand away and snorted. “Stop acting like you're my friend, you are nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing. How dare you pretend like you
Patricia walked downstairs, only to see the food she cooked herself and instructed the chef to serve her husband left untouched on the dining table.“Grace! Grace!!”The young lady rushed out of the kitchen, straight to the dining room. “Yes, ma'am.”“Why is the food still here? Didn't I instruct you to serve my husband the food before he leaves for work?” Patricia yelled at her.Grace shook her head. “Yes, ma'am. I served the food when he was still here, but he said he would rather not eat.”“What… What? Did you tell him that I was the one who prepared this food specially for him?” Patricia freaked out.“I did, ma'am. He was going to eat the food, but immediately I informed him that it was prepared by you, then he said he wasn't hungry.” Grace replied.Upon hearing what Grace said, Patricia clenched her fist in annoyance. Ever since she came back to the house with her child, Justin has been treating her coldly. Obviously, he was only nice to her because she was carrying his child.Te
Valerie couldn't get what Audrey had told her off her mind. Was she really in love with the almighty President Ethan Davison? That's not possible, right?She packed some snacks into her bag, absentmindedly, that she didn't realize when Susan walked into the room. “Wow! So many snacks! Is there a party ?”Still not paying attention, Valerie kept mute. Susan stared at her, and found out she was even listening to her. “Val! Val!! Are you listening?” Susan half yelled, smacking her out of her thoughts.Valerie flinched as she turned swiftly. “Uhm… Have you been there long?”“Of course, it's quite unfortunate that you weren't listening to me. I have been talking, young lady, and I was expecting your response.” Susan snorted, sitting on the bed beside her.Valerie breathed heavily. “I'm sorry. You were saying?”“Where's your mind at? You look absentminded.” Susan asked anxiously.Valerie gulped hard. “I don't know if you are the right person for me to ask this question. I think I should as
Valerie was still staring at him with furrowed eyebrows. What would her ex-boyfriend, who happened to be her sister's husband, be doing in her house?“What do you want, Justin? What are you doing here?” Valerie asked impatiently.He gulped hard and cleared his throat. “I came here to see you, Valerie. I want to know why you sent back the package that I sent for you as a present.”“Why are you making life difficult for me? Is it so difficult for you to understand? You are married for God's sake, Justin. Worst still, you're married to my sister. I've told you that you should stop sending me presents because I just want you to focus on your family and…” Valerie was still speaking, but Justin interrupted.“I don't have any family. You are the only family that I want, Valerie. Don't you understand? I was being deceived by your step-sister. I have no love for her because I never stopped loving you.” Justin replied.Trying hard to get a hold of herself, Valerie freaked out. “You never stoppe
