The Broken Ring: Rewriting the Illegitimate Heiress' Fate Chapter 55: Reminiscence: Cheers to Us
"Here""Thanks." I reached for the bottle and immediately drank it down. The moment the last drop went down my throat, my vision became hazy for a moment.Oh wow. Just how many have I drunk now? This is a first.There were several empty bottles lining up on top of the counter, as if someone just completely bulldozed the entire shelf in front of us.Yet, I wasn't the only one adding bottles to the pile. From my side, he chugged another beer down to the very last drop, exhaling a sigh as he dropped the empty glass.The pub he introduced was kind of isolated, thus there were only a handful of people inside, much to my delight.I don't want those fancy sharks seeing me like this."Hey, that's enough…"He tried to block my hand when I asked for another bottle. Clicking my tongue, I shoved his hand away."Nah. I need more. I still…ugh, my head's still aching…""You're a first time drinker, aren't you? A lightweight at that…The drink's making your head twitch…" I scoffed at his remark and to

"Ugh…" A painful throbbing in my head made me let go of the bottle in my hand.Shit. I drank too much. My eyes wandered to the pub. There were still a few people inside, either still drinking or have totally blacked out. I shook my head to try to ease off the dizziness currently impeding my vision.Yet, my blurry sight landed on that one girl lying down her head on top of the counter."Hey…wake up…" I hesitantly called, slowly shaking her shoulders, yet to no avail. She was totally out.Damn...Now, what?While I pondered on what to do next, she suddenly moved, now facing my direction. I didn't know why but my hand just…reached her, carefully bringing the loose strands covering her face off. The moment I got a clear look at her face, I froze.This girl…she's weeping…even in her sleep.Somehow, my chest constricted to reasons I couldn't fully comprehend.Do I take pity on this girl? To someone I just met a few times?Not once did I consider other women other than…Eri…as beautiful…But

"Ugh…" The moment I woke up, an intense pain in my head greeted me. Wait…where am I?With vision still blurry, I roamed my eyes around me. The room was dark. I thought it was still night but when I reached my phone, shock took over when the screen registered that it was already late afternoon.The heck…did I sleep all morning?I usually wake up early, but with the curtains blocking out the sunlight, I guess I wasn't aware of the time."You're awake?" Suddenly, the silence in the room where I was at broke with a woman's voice from the open door."Who…" I closed my eyes when another round of stinging pain hit my system. "Here. Drink this. It helps ease the hangover." I was busy massaging my throbbing temple when that woman slowly walked towards me, with a tray in hand. As she sat beside me and placed the metal tray on top of the bedside table, only then I managed to recognize her.That figure and this voice…its–"L-Lacey…?""Hi, Lia. It's been a while." She faced me with a smile. As s

The banging on the door kept persisting, causing me to be frozen in my place."Crap. Judging from that ballistic attitude, it's gotta be him." Alarmed, Lacey angrily stood up, checking if it was really him. I followed her, sticking my head from the bedroom door frame."Shit. Confirmed."How in the world did he find me so fast? Is he done making out with that woman? Tsk."I don't wanna face him, Lace…not now please." I pleaded in a thin voice. With this headache, no way would I want to see a glimpse of him. My head would break if I did.At this state, it'll be hard to act without suspicion."I understand, Lia but you need to prepare yourself. He's not gonna back down so easily, you know that." With crossed arms, Lacey warned, looking serious as she kept glaring at the direction of the door."I just need a little time to compose myself. My head is still ringing and seeing him will just make me go crazy." My vision is still blurry from the hangover. Lacey pondered on the plan for a mome

"LIA!" Rupert's voice was the first thing I heard when I entered the apartment. He rushed towards me, enclosing me in his arms."WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! I'M SO WORRIED!" He was shaking my shoulders when he pulled away. Lacey was right. He did look so messy unlike the last time I saw him. So messy that I would have thought he neither slept nor showered since I was gone.I decided to go back…in the evening since he came barging at Lacey's place, afraid that he'll get the cops to look for me. It'll be annoying to handle."I went to Lacey's place. We finally reconciled." I briefly spoke, wandering my sight elsewhere."Wait, you were there the whole time?! That woman…I went there in case I'd find you there but heck, she didn't say anything!" He was utterly baffled, frustrated, as if he was tricked. Heavy breaths staggered his chest, restraining himself from snapping in front of me."I was sleeping. She might've wanted some peace for me to rest.""Rest? What…" I'm sure he smelt it. The smell

"What?" He innocently spoke. Yet, Rupert wasn't buying it."Why are you pulling up a chair beside my fiance?!" He rested his hand over the backrest of my chair, still facing his older brother with a piercing glare.Tsk. They're so damn noisy."Is there a problem? It's just a chair, chill." "There's plenty of chairs here. Pick somewhere else!" Rupert whined like a child. At least that's how it sounded in my ears. I could definitely hear the disappointed sighs from their father, yet he was too unbothered to interfere with their squabbling.Alex Kilmer flashed a confused expression, still with a playful tone. "Oh my…I just left for a while and suddenly, I became a stranger to my own house?"Both Rupert and his mother gasps at his remark, taken aback by the sudden clapback."That's not what I–""Are you perhaps thinking that I might steal your precious fiance?" In an instant, that innocent facade of his turned to a smirk, before his eyes trailed down to me. I pretended not to notice but

"Ms. Smith…?" The nurse who was busy checking up on the unconscious patient lying inside the VIP room was rattled, as the very same patient slowly opened her eyes."Wait for a second. I'll go call the doctor."Weak and recovering, the nurse hurried to get her doctor. It didn't take too long when a man wearing white robes came in, followed by another man who was waiting desperately for days for his future wife to regain consciousness."Lia! Thank god, you're awake! Doc, how's my fiance? Is she okay?" Completely frazzled, Rupert held Lia's hand gently. He kept looking back and forth at her and the doctor, who was busy checking her vitals along with the designated nurse of the VIP room."Well…she just woke so we can't be too sure, but for now, yes she's stable. She just needs further rest to fully recover. I'll be back to check up on her from time to time so please be at ease. She'll be okay." Rupert sighs in relief, before turning his gaze at the still-half awake Lia."Damn..Lia. I'm so

"Why didn't you protect her?" It was the first thing that Rupert heard the moment he entered the room. He just got back from talking to his mother, still stressed. Yet, seeing another person inside, he sighed in disbelief."Mitchell…""The doctor said about traumatic infliction…who did this to her? Was it your family?" Lacey spoke with gritted teeth, gaze fixated on Lianna who busied herself watching the scenery outside from the large, glass windows.She never uttered a word while they conversed, as if she's in her own, little world. Looking so lost, Lacey raged, especially when she confirmed her suspicions when he spoke."Unfortunately…yes." In an instant, Rupert felt…embarrassed. He assured Lacey he'd take care of her, yet this happened."Damn…I know your bitch of a mother is the culprit, right? That witch, how dare she! I've been holding back because it's your family and Lia's wish, but this…she just sentenced herself for torture for almost killing my sister!" Lacey wanted to burst

"Shit! I'm late!" Lianna exclaimed, followed by a series of shrieks and clumsy sprint to the bathroom. A bunch of curses echoed on the tiled walls, complaining about how she got quite a lengthy sleep. Too comfortable to earn her a hectic morning.It only took her a speedy few minutes to collect herself into a rather decent look before grabbing her messy things and dumping them in her bag."Hey. Where are you off this early in the morning?" Traversing down the staircase, her head tilted to the source of the sound.Sneaking a peek from the kitchen, Jasper's head popped up to meet her disheveled gaze."Oh Jasper, you're still here. Can I ride with you to the office? I forgot to set up the alarm and I'm seriously late." She pleaded while trying to grab hold of all the things she needed to bring. Both of her hands were busy and cluttered as it is, making her attention flying everywhere.However, Lianna raised her head once again when she realizes something."Wait…why are you not dressed? A

"Finally, that lasted far too long."Jasper breathes out a tired sigh, loosening down the black tie that seemed to choke out the living shit out of him for the entire afternoon."Good work today, Mr. Wayne. You've been quite impressive these past few months. So impressive, I almost thought you became a different person." The silence he was craving after a long, hectic meeting immediately was thrown out of the window when a familiar voice came up behind him."Mr. Lim. It's nothing to cause such high regards." Jasper plastered a fake smile as he turned to meet the middle-aged man exiting the board room after him.Despite the friendly word, his brows twitched at the sight of the shameless man who used to ridicule him in the past, now seemingly shining the widest smile he could offer."Humble, at that. Now that I'm seeing clearly, you're slowly resembling your father and elder siblings. I guess, it's in the blood no matter how one looks.""Maybe it is…" "Oh well. Enough of that. I'm curi

"Oh would you look at that…the blind girl finally has minions following her. An upgrade, is it?" Eridessa glanced at Seria, who froze in nervousness. Her hands holding the cards visibly shaking.Despite the smiling face, Seria knows that the newly arrived woman is someone who's up to no good."Weren't you listening back then? The blind girl is no longer blind. Might that be you? Can't you see we're having fun for ourselves?" Lianna lazily looks at her, ticking her off with the unexpected attitude."How rude, Lianna. I was just catching up with you…" Despite her remark, Lianna still caught on to the grit."Here I am wondering where you went after the wedding? Oh! Was it the honeymoon? Tsk. My bad. I was also busy with mine so it slipped my mind. Congratulations on your wedding, Mrs. Kilmer. I heard you had a SPECTACULAR ceremony. I'm jealous." Lianna didn't know where she got the courage to speak such sharp words but she did, like it's a natural thing to do."Is it me or you look quite

Losing count of all the time passed, Lianna sighs heavily as she lazily slumps towards her desk. This was the first time she felt so drained and tired going back and forth outside of her comfort zone.For someone who spent most of her life in the vicinity of her home, this was a new chapter of her. A new accomplishment, not as Lianna Smith or Kilmer, but as Lianna Callis Kreisler Wayne.Yet, her new identity and status has its limits. With the challenge of building an entertainment agency from the ground, a lot of things emerged to be settled. Despite being declared an heir and a wife of a powerful man, Lianna hasn't proven herself, hence the people she had met were quite wary in involving themselves with her for business relations. In the eyes of such wealthy businessmen, she was just a newborn.She was discouraged at first, yet, the pressure that was building gave her a boost to cease the sulking and step up her game. Despite the countless rejections to hire a talent, she remained p

"You're back too early." Chairman Leo greeted Lianna when she entered his main office.She trailed her eyes to the entire space before walking towards his table at the very front. She still couldn't get used to how beautiful the interiors in this office were."I need to be prepared. Anyways, what should I do?" Lianna asked. A week after they got back from their trip, she was to officially report to the office, hence marching inside the building with nervousness. A lot of people were watching her every move and it's taking her all not to collapse in anxiety from their intense stares.'Geez…back then, I didn't have to worry about such attention.' She muttered to herself."Here. Read it." He pulled a folder from one of the drawers and lent it to her. Confusion instantly came over her when she read the details inside."An entertainment branch? From what I remember, the Kreisler family doesn't dwell in that type of industry." Before the wedding, she underwent training under him for a shor

"Greetings. You've arrived." As soon as they reached the parking lot, they were met with a few, black suited men."Lance…how're you doing?" Jasper calls out the man in front, seemingly leading the other men with him. With his usual, black outfit, Lance bows before responding."Doing good sir." He answered briefly. Lianna then calls him next. It's been a while since she saw her stoic guard again."Hello, sir Romero. Good to see you again.""You too, Madam. I see you're doing well." He flashes a reserved smile."Yup. I had a great time." She spoke joyfully, returning the smile she received.Meanwhile, Jasper twitches his brows. His eyes switched between the two, who were currently exchanging greetings."We have finished loading the luggage, so–" before Lance could continue, Jasper cut him off."Actually, Lance. Give me the keys." He spoke, his palm suspended in the air, waiting."Pardon?""Ride with Taylor this time. I'll drive the both of us." When he responded, he turned to Lianna. Se

The past month was fun. After that talk by the beach, Lianna and Jasper got to know more about each other. As his friend said before they departed to the island, they had the entire half of the island for themselves, that included first dibs to the natural reserves and tourist spots that were yet to be opened to the public.There was awkwardness in the air at first, but after a few days, slowly and steadily, they forged a friendship above their contractual relationship.Both Lianna and Jasper temporarily forgot about everything and enjoyed each other's company. They couldn't hide the excitement within them, realizing that they made another genuine friend after their small circle.And just like always, their time alone ended in a flash…so as it seemed for them."I request everyone aboard to please sit back and wear your seatbelts, as we are nearing for landing." The captain announced in the intercom from the cockpit. The two who were busy passing time playing chess hurried to sit back

“A penny of your thoughts?” Upon hearing a mellow voice, Lianna turned. With the cold wind putting his hair in disarray, Jasper walked towards her, wearing a simple polo shirt and pants, paired with casual slippers. Gazing at his face, Lianna thought of the drastic, physical change of his body, comparing how he looked when they first met. If she didn’t know any better, he might’ve looked like someone else.“Jasper…are you feeling okay?”“Yeah. Sorry, I wasn't able to join you for most of the afternoon.” he spoke in a shy apology. Thinking how he just straight up collapsed, the moment his body touched the soft bed, embarrassment filled his system.Despite their agreement, they were still a married couple. Newlyweds, at that. As a husband, the first thing he did was to sleep right in and left his wife to wander for herself. Lianna saw right through him, catching up with his internal dilemma. “It's fine. I've got a lot of free time wandering around. The place is gorgeous.” It was the
