“Who is that?” I curiously asked after seeing his phone vibrated and unregistered number appeared on his phone.

He quickly shook his head. “Nothing, it was just a prank call.”

My brows frowned and so I answered it by myself, Frank stopped me but he wasn’t successful to do it. I listened from the other line and finally heard the voice.

“Selin Johnson?”

I let out a deep sigh, it was Sena my best friend. I gasped and tried to cover my mouth so she would not hear any words coming from me.

“Look, Selin. I just want to say I’m sorry because I left you alone. I heard what happened and believe me I wanted to help you that time but Demir threatened me if I did.”

My eyes widened after hearing it from my bestfriend. I have so many questions in my head but I just want to keep it to myself from now on.

“I’ve heard about Mr. Johnson and I am sorry for your lost once again. I hope you moved on and your baby must be very happy to see you every day smiling.”

Tears suddenly fell on my cheeks and

I knew it and I always felt it from him because he was the reason why I felt important once again in my life. the reason why I should move forward and keep fighting.“No, don’t worry once I arrive there I’ll inform you as soon as possible.

    Grace parked her car a few kilometres away from their home. She looked at herself from the mirror and put more concealer on her swollen eyes.“I should have put more so Frank won’t ask me questions about this.”She sighed deeply before she started the engine and the guard quickly opened the gate for her. She gave them the keys to park the car.“Is Frank here?”“No, Ma’am.”Grace nodded and walked straight to the house. She looked around and felt empty but she felt tired today even though she did not do anything tiring. Of course before she headed to the bedroom she walked to her baby’s room.“I met your dad, he seemed not fine but I hope he’ll move on soon.”The she looked up to the ceiling and fan herself to stop crying. But she could not because every time she would avoid it there was circumstances that made them cross together their path.“I’ll do my promise to you baby.”Then, she went straight to the shower room as she could not control her emotion and took her pills immediately.

It has been a couple of weeks and Demir was still on it’s way on making it possible to be both in good side.“Mr. Krumpus we have to make a solution as soon as possible before the company collapse and went to nothing but debt in the end.”One of the board members said but Demir was just staring at the table and did not answer. Many of the investors were waiting for an answer but they did not get anything. Instead he just let himself heard everything from his investors so he could end it with a solution. “We will create a tv commercial so it will convince the public that our service will not just full of shit! We will show them

    Frank arrived at the place and he immediately get off from the car and walked toward Selin’s car. He let out a heavy sighed staring at her inside the car peacefully sleeping.He gently knocked on the door and sparingly smiled after Selin saw her.“What do you want?” Selin asked sarcastically and was not opening the door.Frank held her hand but Selin immediately pulled it back and folded her arms. She was not staring at him because for her it was just a waste of time talking to him.“I don’t want to talk to you and I don’t want to see you either.” her sight were on the front view and was not even looking to him. Flashes of memory being on her mind and that made her even annoyed.“Please, I came here to apologize and fix everything that I have done to you. I am sorry Selin.” he said in a low tone of his voice.“I am tired and has no sleep Frank, please just give me more time to figure everything but for now I just want to be alone.” she lightly shook her head and was about to close the

    “Why are you up so late? I told you I’ll be home late.”Demir untied his polo shirt and did not even look at Laura who was sitting right next to him.“I could smell the liquor from you, is that a way of meeting with investors?” Laura asked suspiciously.He caressed his nape and felt the heaviness from his stomach. “Will stop this argument again, Laura?”“How will I be able to stop if you keep doing this every time that you will be at home?!” she folded her arms and tried to be calm on this situation because she wanted to speak out straight on her feelings.“Try not to think much so you won’t act like that right?” Demir answered sarcastically. He felt tired from work and the fact that he thought he would achieve that peacefulness inside their home was certainly wrong.Then, Laura threw the photos in front of him and that made Demir check the pictures that widened his eyes but he quickly recovered from that reaction so Laura would not misinterpret about it.“Since when are you seeing t

    “Are you sure you are coming with nme?”Frank looked at Selin and all he could see was a fighter and a changed woman who was willing to take everything in one hand.Selin nodded. “Of course besides I am not yet done hunting him.”Frank chuckled. “You already caged him and I know he was so crazy to you.”“That’s not enough. I want to ruin him just like what he did to me. I will not give him any chances to be with his loved ones anymore.” She smiled and bit her lower lip. “You’ll see he’ll be crazier on me that no medication can cure it.”It has been weeks had passed and Frank and Selin were now in good relationship again. They never had a chance to deeply apologize to one another but as they showed their loved to each other made another impact to both of them.Selin stepped out from the car after they parked at the parking lot.

I know but I have to understand some protocols that doctors gave me and now that I could drive at least on my own. I would like to be somewhere else today.“Frapuccino for Mrs. Miller.”My attention was caught after hearing my name. I smiled at the barista who served my order and looked away with the great surroundings.I could not stop thinking on how would I work on all my plans for Demir. I sighed heavily, I want him to suffer the way I was in the moment when we both lost my daughter.“Babe, I decided not to go to the office today. I have important things to do outside the office.”Frank did not see my message but I am certain that he would see it soon. I knew him well so worries might painted his face after reading it.I typed another message but this time it wasn’t about my husband b

But, why? I should not feel this kind of guilt where in fact he’s the one who should feel more guilt than me.“Selin,” he mumbled.I looked at him even more after I heard my name from him. I was not expecting this. It was just not normal for me but every time he mentioned my name it was like more perfect than ever.Immediately I took off my sweater and added it on top of him just to keep him warm.“You are the most stupid man I ever knew!”“You let yourself be wet even though you know that you wi

It did not move nor react to what I said. The police quickly took me away from her then I saw the pool of blood around her. I tried to resist from dragging me away from her because I want to check on her. My tears suddenly fell and I realized that she caught the bullet that was supposed for me. “Grace get up!” I shouted and as the police pulled me away from the scene I did not know what happened to her. Trials after trials of defending myself from being guilty about the case that the people filled against me and I stayed silent and speak only if the judge asked me to say any word. I did not mind being in jailed but Harry was there and he even helped me to find a public attorney which made my heart full but in the end the ewe both found out that it was Frank Miller who created everything. “Wh

I looked away from the thought that he might caught me being awkward and all but it surprised me to see him lied down on the couch and was catching his breath while he closed his eyes.“What happened? Did he do this to you?! His men?!” I asked him a couple of times but he remain silent and did not even say any single word.I walked closer to him and realized that his body temperature was quite high.“Oh shit! You are having fever!” then, I quickly ran toward the bedroom and as memories flashes through my mind I strongly shook my head because this was not the right to time to remember it.I searched every single drawers and cabinets in our old room and finally I found the first aid kit that he always kept away from me.“Here take this, you need to lower down your body temperature,” I explained to him.Good thing I found one and so when I was about to leave him, I felt his hand covered mine.“Don

It’s you.” then he put down his pen on the table and went back to Demir. “What are you doing? And who is that for?” “Look at these babe, Demir Krumpus brought you flowers, can you believe that?”Demir was laughing at him and saw Grace was massaging her temples.“Frank stop it!”Frank continued laughing while staring at Demir. He could not believe that Demir would be like this.“I couldn’t believe that you still have the guts to be here with us and giving flowers to my wife was too much.” his tone suddenly change into serious one.“Leave him alone,” Grace said just to stop her husband from humiliating Demir.

Awkwardness, the only thing that they both felt right now.“Take care of yourself, Mrs. Miller,”“I do, it’s just that I have so many things to do because of the backlogs and lapses happened during your time in Krumpus.”Demir let out a heavy sighed, “Do you need a hand with those documents?
