Kimberly chuckled a few times. She couldn't use foundation to conceal the scar at the corner of her lip and the bruise on her jaw.
"How do I work?" she muttered, feeling very annoyed. Kimberly smeared some blush on her face. "Maybe this will cover it."
The woman put on a mask over her mouth and nose. Then she grabbed her bag and left.
"Are you leaving already? Don't you want to have breakfast first?" Bill asked.
"Yes, Dad."
"Why are you wearing a mask? Are you sick?" Bill inquired, looking worried. "Does Dad need to call a doctor?"
"No need, Dad. I just have a mild cold. I'm already late so I'll have breakfast at the office. I'm off, Dad."
Kimberly quickly left the residence to avoid any more questions from Bill.
Kimberly got into her car. Maybe this time she will ask security to park her car. Kimberly started the engine and drove out of her yard.

The man stood by the roadside, holding the bridge's guardrail. His gaze was fixed on the vast ocean below the bridge."Argh, sucks!” someone shouted, disturbing Danial. The man turned to the source of the sound, and it turned out that Kimberly was not far from him, looking annoyed, eating ice cream, and carrying a bag of noisy ice cream. Danial initially looked at the woman in silence.The woman was seen occasionally wiping her tears while enjoying her ice cream. Danial could only smile at the woman's behavior.

Danial was pensive for a moment and recalled the events of a few moments ago.Kimberly looked very drunk. "I want to drink more; why is it gone?" she said when she saw her glass was empty."That's enough. You are very drunk," Danial said.With wide eyes and a hiccup, Kimberly responded, "No, I'm not at all drunk. Why don't we move to the club now? I think we can drink ourselves into unconsciousness there. We can also dance," she chuckled."I'm not interested. We should go home; I'll take you home," said Danial from his seat. Danial pulled Kimberly's arm until she st

Kimberly, who had calmed down, was now neatly dressed in her work clothes. She went down the steps of the stairs. Bill was already at the dining table."Morning, Dad," Kimberly greeted."Are you better?" Bill asked."Umm... yes," Kimberly replied, sitting down in her chair."The waiter claimed that a man escorted you home after drinking. He was neither Ertan nor Richard. So who is he?" Bill asked.Bil's question made Kimberly realize that these images were not dreams. Danial was really driving her home. "Kim?""Ah, that's my coworker at work, Dad," Kimberly replied, making Bill nod in understanding."You haven't had a drink in a long time. Is it because of Richard's and his family's problems that you're so overwhelmed that you're drunk?" Bill asked."It's not really because of that. I'm just trying to figure it out, Dad.""Daddy will probably talk to Yasa firs

Kimberly blinked her eyes repeatedly at Danial's words."Ma-meaning, marry you?" asked Kimberly with wide eyes."It wasn't you who said you wanted to marry me," Danial said."I... when?" Her mind flashed back to last night, when she had said that to Danial in a drunken state. "That..." Kimberly's face was already as red as a boiled crab. "Shit!" she muttered."Everything has happened and you have proposed to me despite wanting my help and money, so stop beating yourself up," Danial said."But marrying you..." "Why? It's just a contract marriage after all." "Contract marriage?" "Yes, what kind of marriage do you want. Besides, we are not suitable to live a married life full of love," said Danial, making Kimberly still silent.&nbs

Kimberly and Bill arrived at their home. Kim excused herself to go to her room first. But Bill took his time and invited Kimberly to talk in the living room. Kimberly obeyed her father, and now she sat on the sofa across from Bill, who was still sitting in his wheelchair."When we left earlier, Daddy didn't ask you many questions. Now please explain to Daddy: What exactly is the relationship between you and the head of the Gonemanus family? Isn't that man your boss now?" Bill asked, leaving Kimberly silent for a long time. She couldn't possibly tell the truth, but she also couldn't let her father find out about her relationship with Danial from the media."Umm... Dad, I'm actually in love with Danial. And we agreed to get married, so he helped me to pay all our debts to Richard's father, hoping that I would break my relationship with Richard," Kimberly explained."W-what did you say?" asked Bill in shock."I'm sorry, Dad. Richard was very abusive to me; h
