Hailey was the eldest daughter of the George's family, a woman once famous for her beauty in Manila city. Three years ago, she married Nikolai Coke, the heir of the Coke's family, and became Mrs Coke.
Rumors had it that President Nikolai didn't want to marry her as at that time. But she did something that made Old Master Coke favour her, and so he forced President Nikolai to marry her.
However, rumors had it that after President Coke married her, he never went home again.
As it seemed, President Nikolai really disliked his his wife.
The secretary ushered Hailey into the office with a complicated look on her face.
Nikolai put down the documents in his hands and stared coldly at the woman who entered his office.
In tbe part three years since they got married, this woman rarely showed her face around him because she knew that he abhorred her.
But in the past few days, she had appeared before him too frequently. She either seduced him or beg him to eat noodles. Now, she even came to his company.
Did she admit that he didn't dare to roughen her up just because she's Mrs Coke?
"Nikolai...."
He heard the woman clear and emotionless voice. Then she handed him a document.
He cast a glare at it. When he saw the title on the documents, the look on his face quickly become astonished.
"This is a divorce settlement agreement, I have put down my signature..." Hailey said flatly, "Please keep your promise and design a wedding dress for me"
"Ptfff"
Nikolai chuckled with a look of mockery in his eyes.
"Hailey's George, I never promised to design a wedding dress for you"
"If you want a divorce, you must design a wedding dress for me" Hailey bit her lips and looked at the man's from expression. She begged, "Nikolai, I know you are busy and don't have enough time to spare... I don't ask for much. You just have to draw a draft. I can find someone else to make the wedding dress. I know that. I know that Agnes George has been waiting for too long. Don't you want to marry her sooner?" Hailey sneered.
"If you agree to the divorce terms, you will be free from the shackles of our marriage and you can finally be with the one you cherished the most!" Her voice sounded as if she was pleading.
Nikolai listened as he looked at the divorce settlement agreement with signature on it.
Her name, Hailey George was written boldly on the paper. It was undoubtedly her handwriting.
Once he added his signature, the divorce settlement would be finalized, and the marriage he had abhorred for the past three years would immediately come to an end!
However....
Didn't she refused to get a divorce? Why.....was she suddenly willing to sign the divorce papers now?
Nikokai tried to ignore the strange feelings in his heart. He frowned and looked at Hailey, whose face was still pale, "What trick are you trying to play?"
Hailey felt an ache in her heart.
To him, everything she did was part of a scheme...
Hailey held back her sadness and smiled.
"Nikolai, since you are not turning down my request, it means that you have agreed"
"So, it's a deal. Don't go back on your word "
And after she said that before Nikolai even responded, she turning immediately and walked out of the office. She seemed like she was gleeing from Nikolai. As if she was afraid that he would regret his decision.
Perhaps, it was because she left in a hurry. As soon as she stepped into the elevator, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach.
She walked out of the elevator slowly, holding onto the wall for support. Once the pain in her stomach eased a little, she picked her phone and called her mother.
"Mom, as you wished, I have signed the divorce settlement agreement "
"Good girl. Hailey my sensible daughter. Don't worry, Dad and Mom will make it up for....."
Listening to her mother's excited voice, Hailey hung up with indifference.
She had less than three months to live. In the next three months, she must live for herself....
She stepped out of the tower. The sunlight shone on her, dispelling the gloomy feeling within her.
However, as soon as she exited the tower, she saw Agnes coming towards her in her wheelchair.
Hailey watched her younger sister come towards her. Her gaze fell on her wrist. The skin looked intact and there was no scar on it.
"Hailey my sister, what are you looking at?" Agnes raised her wrist with a faint smile on her face.
"Last night, I just wanted to slice an apple with a knife. I didn't expect that Mom would think I want to commit suicide and send me to the hospital. I had a full check up and I was discharged today. Hailey, Mom still cares about me very much, don't you think so?"
It turned out that Agnes did not try to take her own life at all.
Their mother had deliberately told Hailey to divorce Nikokai.
There was no expression on Hailey's face and there was a faint smile on her lips, "Congratulations, then for you can finally become someone lawfully wife instead of a home wrecker"
Hearing the word, "Homewrecker" Agnes expression suddenly become grim.
Her beautiful face contorted with anger, "My dear sister, haven't you heard? In a love triangle, the person who is not loved is the homewrecker! I'm just trying to take back what belongs to me!"
Her utter shamelessness made Hailey to Hurst out laughing out loud.
For a long time, Agnes has successfully fooled everyone with her weak and delicate appearance including the man who was smart enough to rule the world of business ------
Nikolai Coke!
"Agnes, I never owe you anything. Stop playing the victim in front of me" The look on Hailey's face was cold, and she stared at Agnes with such an emotionless face, "Also, I you have done too many awful deeds, you will have to pay the price someday. That's exactly what happened to your legs. Am I right?"
"Hailey!! You bitch!" Agnes screamed.
Recalling the fear and pain she har gone through when she fell down from the stairs years ago, Agnes could no longer hold back her anger. She raised the glass in her hand and threw the water in it at Hailey.
A glass of water splashed unto Hailey and she was soaked all through.
She took a cold look at Agnes, turned around and went into the building to ask for a jug of water. Then she strode to Agnes and poured the entire jug of water on Agnes.
"Aaahhh!;!"
Agnes screamed. She wanted to lunge forward and pull Hailey's hair, but her legs could barely budge. All she could do was sit there and let Hailey jeep pouring water on her.
"Agnes George, I tolerated our mother because she gave birth to me and raised me. I tolerated Nikolai Coke because he is my husband. Who do you think you are?"
Hailey stared at her coldly.
"We are no longer sisters ever since years ago when you tried to set me up, but fell off the stairs instead. From now on, I won't tolerate you "
As soon. As she finished, a shadow suddenly loomed over.
Someone shove Hailey on the shoulder. She was caught off guarded and fell to the floor on her bum.
"Nikolai!!"

Also this is a new book and there would be two updates everyday, excluding Sundays..
Thank you so much for reading my book,
Next update will come so soon.
Agnes cried as she panted and threw herself into Nikolai's arm. Nikolai lifted her in his arm and glared at Hailey, who was sitting on tbe floor with disgust. This woman was wicked as always! Earlier on, he even pitied her and thought of designing a wedding dress for her. How could he be so stupid? "Hack...H..ackk..." Hailey covered her mouth immediately. She was afraid she would cough out some blood, so she covered her mouth tightly. There was a sudden pain in her lower abdomen, and she felt something warm gush out of her private part. Her face turned pale in horror. She grabbed the hem of Nikolai's pant and said, "Nikolai, hurry up, take me to the hospital...." She had vomited blood before, but now, even her lower abdomen began to bleed. Was she going to die soon? She was ready for death, but it still came too fast. Did it mean that she would never get to see the wedding dress Nikolai design for her? She refused to accept that. No, she must hold on till the day she put on tbe
The pain in Hailey's abdomen gradually subsided. She got up from tbe ground while holding the walls for support. She looked at the tower, which was a skyscraper Just like the tall building, Nikolai Coke was beyond her reach.All her wildest fantasy and unforgettable memories were reduced to rubble after being married to him for three years. Fortunately for her, everything was coming to an end soon ...Hailey was in a daze when she hailed a taxi. She wanted to go to the hospital for a medical check up, but she was afraid that she would receive more bad news.Eventually, Hailey went home. She was utterly exhausted and she fell asleep the instant she layed on the bed. By the time she woke up, it was already dusk. She took a shower and changed her clothes, which write stained with blood. Then she went downstairs to pour water for herself only to find out that tbe light in the study were on.The warm yellow light trickled down from the door gap, and she thought she was hallucinating. Sh
When Hailey woke up, it was already the next day. She looked at the empty sitting room and suddenly sat on the sofa. She quickly ran upstairs towards the study. She pushed the door opened to the study only to see a cup of unfinished coffee and a trash can filled with discarded papers. She knelt on the ground, poured out the discarded paper and unfolded them one by one. Each piece of paper contain a sketch of wedding dress. Some of them were half completed. Some had a veil.... As it turned out, everything that happened last night was not a dream. Nikolai was indeed designing the perfect wedding dress she dreamt of. Hailey smiled and put the discarded papers into the drawer of her own desk, as though there are her own treasure. When she was about to close the drawer, she saw a document in there. The smile on her face gradually became sorrowful. It was the document that her company had filled for it's company market stock. By Her is a jewelry design company that she founded. It had
Agnes held unto a corner of the design draft, and the look on her face was sullen. "When you married Nikolai, you didn't have a wedding dress or a wedding. You can't blame it on me. It's your own problem you can't win his love. Why are you trying to snatch the draft from me? Let go of it!"Hailey was clasping another corner of the design draft in her hand. She felt a sharp ache in her heart.This wedding dress belongs to her!It was the wedding dress she dreamed of since she was a child!Nikolai was the one who promised to design it for her!Why....why did the wedding dress become Agnes belonging all of a sudden? Her parents, her wedding dress and even her husband had become Agnes's! Seeing that Hailey refused to let go, Agnes burst out in rage."Hailey, since you were young, you have always competed with me for everything. You wanted to win the attention of mom and dad. You wanted to run the George's family business, and you want Nikolai's love. Now, you even want to steal the wedd
Hailey refused to check into the hospital. The child inside her has just starting to have heatbeats. She didn't want it to smell the pungent smell of the disinfectant inside the hospital everyday. Even if she was in such in an awful condition, she wanted to provide the best prenatal care for her child. Hailey parked her car at the front of the mansion. When she was about to get out of the car with the drugs Sky prescribed for her to relieve the symptoms of her illness, she saw that the lights in the house were on. She looked at the yard and saw a black car in there. Nikolai who had never returned home in the past three years had come back again. There was a faint smile on Hailey's lips. She tossed the medicine container onto the driver's seat, opened the car door and stepped out of the vehicle. "You're back? " Nikolai's grim voice startled Hailey a bit. As it appeared Nikolai was waiting for her to appear home. But then she would have been ecstatic. She would gawk at the man sh
"Nikolai Coke, let me go!" Fear flashed in Hailey's eyes. She knew that Nikolai was not interested in her sexually or romantically. Otherwise he wouldn't have let her untouched even though they have been married for three years. She even had to drug him in other to make him sleep with her. But why was he so violent now? Was he trying to rape her just because he suspect that she is having an affair? "Nikolai, stop it!" Hailey's voice was trembling. "We are already divorced. You can't touch me" Her words made Nikolai become rough and more violent. In other to win his love, this woman would stop at nothing and she eventually became Mrs Coke. But now, she would definitely stop at nothing, just so she could get a divorce and be with her lover. Nikolai was so furious that he had completely lost his mind. He tore Hailey's skirt, unbuckled his belt and hurriedly climbed on her. Hailey covered her abdomen and tried her best to escape, but Nikolai managed to catch her and hold her dow
Agnes sat in her wheelchair at the front door. She glared at Hailey with a venomous gaze and saw something on her neck, which were obviously....Hickey! Agnes eyes fixed on the hickeys. Her gaze was as intense as the laser's beam, as if it could bore a hole on Hailey. When Agnes had that Nikolai had arrived at the mansion, she hurried over because she was worried that Hailey would seduce Nikolai again. As it turned out, she arrived way too late!She gnashed her teeth together with hatred and said, "Hailey George! How could you get so shameless? You've already divorced Nikolai, yet you still have sex with him!""Whatever happens between Nikolai and me is none of your business, homewrecker! "Hailey stared at her, "No matter how shameless I am, I won't be romantically entangled with a married man. Agnes George, as your older sister, I kindly remind you that you will pay for your evil deeds in one way or the order. A good example is your paralyzed legs!"Agnes was purple rage, "I'm pa
Agnes was not a fool. She looked at the hickeys on Hailey's neck and face, which had turned pale due to nausea and said incredulously, "Bitch, you're indeed pregnant. Do you think that Nikolai will change his mind if he finds out? Nikolai hates you and he will hate the child inside of you. He will never take you back!"Hailey knew better than anyone else how much Nikolai did not want her to carry his child.Hailey pressed her lips together and put her hand on her lower abdomen.Agnes stared at her lower abdomen and her eyes was filled with rage.She had never even been intimate with Nikolai, yet Hailey was pregnant with his child.She would not tolerate the thought of other women giving birth to Nikolai's children.Even if Nikolai hated that child, she did not want the bitch, Hailey George to keep the child either!Agnes could no longer control the rage. She got up and lunged at Hailey.She started punching Hailey's abdomen without mercy.Hailey did not expect Agnes to suddenly go ber
The fiasco started by Asher ended after Shirley ruined her own vocal cord.Hailey knew that she had done the best she could since she had sent people to take care of Asher. At this moment, the most important thing for her was to live her own life.******* ********"Zaney, honey, your momma is pregnant...you will have a little sibling soon, okay" Mrs Coke was the first to whisper into Zane's ears."Yahhhhh, grandma" Zane grinned. He rushed to hug Hailey, his little hands wrapped around Hailey's hips as he nuzzled her nose against Hailey's belly.Mrs Coke smiled.Nikolai thanked Doc Cyril and walked out of the office, Mrs Coke was the one who held Hailey while Nikolai had Zaney in his arms.It was indeed a beautiful sight!The most beautiful scene Nikolai had ever imagined••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••2months After....These past two months were the best for Hailey. She had a good reconciliation with her father and her lost Angie, Angie got serious mental issues and even the doctors c
After taking Hailey out of the national registration department, Nikolai did not bring her home directly, he drove her straight to the hospital.Although Asher said that pill would only make Hailey lose her voice temporarily and had no other side effects, Nikolai was still worried.Besides, Hailey had been kidnapped by Prince Peter. He did not know if they had hurt her, so he had to let the doctor check her carefully before he could be rest assured.When she got in the car and found that it was not the way home, Hailey still could not utter a word.She could only sit in the shotgun seat and keep waving her hand at Nikolai who was driving to show thar except for her voice she was very healthy without any discomfort.But how could Nikolai listen to her? He only told her that she should take a rest in the car first and then drive her to the hospital for an examination before taking her to a good meal.Hailey was annoyed but she couldn't say anything. She could only stare at Nikolai and c
"No, Hailey, don't listen to her nonsense,I really didn't so it."Asher was very anxious at the moment. He tried to hold Hailey's hand but Nikolai beat him to it.Nikolai's pulled Hailey into his embrace. His tone was cold and indifferent as he said, "Let's not discuss the matter of framing me for the time being. However, if Hailey is unable to say anything, what did you do to her?"In the beginning, Hailey gave him no reply, making Nikolai assume that she was disappointed in him.But since Shirley came, Hailey looked agitated yet she still remained silent which made Nikolai feel suspicious.He was completely sure that Hailey was drugged. When Asher started explaining yo Hailey, she dud not even question him. She simply had a flustered and disappointed look in her eyes.Nikolai knew Hailey well. He knew that it was not Hailey's true reactions unless she could not speak at all.Hailey who had been protected tightly in Nikolai's embrace sighed helplessly. She looked at Asher with deeper
The four of them met in a private room in the private club. A man who looked like Doug sat at the head of the table without saying a word. He had quiet a bit of imposing manner. That was the George's family second uncle- Hayes George. "Hayes, I'm here with my two children." Doug frowned. During those years, that brother of his had been in noy much contact with him and his brothers all the time. He did not expect that they would meet in such a way. Hayes George glanced a both zephira and Doug coldly. When he looked at Hailey, he said coldly, "Hailey right? You'd better not show off your ability given that you're young. Even if you've just entered the company, you should still act sensibly" The incident about Nikolai of the Cokes family and Hailey of the Georges cooperation had been discussed vehemently in the upper class in Manila city. Everyone knew that Nikolai had used a great sum of money to gain a beauty's affection. If it was not for Nikolai's powerful tactics and the support
Austin compromised. Seeing that, Hailey looked cold but she did not push him. She said, "Then let's deal with Xyla first. Although Xyla is a member of our design apartment she has been in the company for five years. During this period of time, she has been using other's design drafts. Thus time around she has brought trouble to our George's cooperation. I decided to dismiss her. Do you have any opinions?" Even if she could not deal with Austin directly, she still had a way to deal with Xyla. In addition, that was a good opportunity. Since zephira had a soft personality as her sister, Hailey must be tough in the company and show her strength to others. Thus, others would not think that they were easy to be bullied and do the same thing as Austin again. The others witnessed how Hailey acted in a slick manner and suppressed Austin in a reasonable manner. Now that she had said something more, the others would only be convinced by her. So they said one after another, "I don't have any o
Reinvigoration - the most perfect work of art would always go through twists and turns.The signature was the name of the cooperation between the Xavier family and George's cooperation.Mer champ looked at Xyla in disbelief. When did the design department hand in such a design draft to the Xavier family? How come he dud not know anything about that?Xyla did not bring her cell phone to that conference room. At that time, she began to panic when she saw Mr champs expressionBefore she could ask, Hailey looked at Xyla with a smile and instructed. "Take this pen drive and insert it to the computer over there"Xyla had a plan in her mind, so Hailey must have her own purpose in doing so. Otherwise why would Hailey hide such a thing from the design department? Hence she did not obey Hailey's order for a long time.Hailey raised her eyebrows but she did not lose her temper. She inserted the pen drive into the computer and turned on the audio software. A woman's voice appeared on the screen.
Angie had taken the medicine for sobering up before she drank the wine, which was all to make Xyla lower her vigilance and disguise.Xyla replied directly, "Do what? Does anyone know that I plagiarized? Think about it. I have to thank you for providing me with the design drafts. Otherwise, why would I be sitting in my current position and ruin that damn Yona reputation?""I'm telling you! If you're smart, you should rely on mr. You'd better hand over the design drafts to me obediently. When Hailey is driven out of the company tomorrow, I will be the manage. I will not pursue the matter that you betrayed me."Upon hearing that, Angie frowned slightly. How could Xyla accurately explain that she would drive Hailey out of the company during the following day? Angie could not help but ask, "Why did you say that?"Xyla was almost fully drunk because if the alcohol so she did not reply to that anymore. "Haha..."She fell asleep with her head tilted.Angie stopped the recording and sent the a
When Xyla was going downstairs, although she was still not feeling well, there was a hint of joy on her face. But she only left after she thought of what he told her. He claimed that Hailey did not provide any design which the Xavier family was satisfied with. And when she thought about Angie, she had a plan in her mind.In tbe past few days, she did not see any work of Angie, but who knee if Angie had cooperation with Hailey in private?Her heart was filled with schemes. Angie's appearance had long disrupted her state of mind.Upon entering the office, Xyla suddenly heard Hailey's voice."In order to welcome Angie, I will treat you to dinner today. Let's have a meal"As soon as the manager spoke, everyone naturally agreed.Xyla smirked. Unexpectedly, someone gave her a chance just when she had a scheme in her mind.Angie was a lightweight drinker. She would say anything after drinking a few glasses of wine.When it was time to get off work, she silently tidied up the design paper on
After that day, Hailey's relationship with Nikolai was improved rapidly.Nikolai began to contact Hailey rapidly by using the communication tool though he was an introvert. He mostly greeted Hailey good morning but Hailey was quite warmed to that.She had to admit that she felt something for Nikolai again.But as for how the relationship between the two of them would develop in the future, she still had some hesitation. The past was still deep pain for her, and when she thought about that, she was grieved.She could not have more contact with him for the sake of the hurt Zaney had suffered.Yes, that was it. Now, she still had cooperation with him because of the project of the diamond factory. She could not just fall with him directly.She thought that she might need some timr to figure out what she was thinking.Hailey was in a dilemma, but the daily work had exposed her heart which wavered constantly.On several occasions, she forgave Yvonne's careless mistake and carefully helped h
