"Mr. Vance Lawrence?" exclaimed Kimberly at the sight of a middle-aged man with long, messy graying hair.For some reason, seeing the condition of the man in front of her like that, Kimberly's solar plexus felt very painful. A drop of unbidden tears escaped from her eyes. The woman hurriedly turned away while wiping her tears.Vance walked up to Kimberly with a confused look."Who are you?" asked the man who had just sat down opposite Kimberly."Good afternoon, Mr. Vance. I'm Kimberly; I'm the lawyer who will be handling your case," Kimberly handed Vance her business card.The man accepted it, then looked at the business card."Why do you want to work on my case, which has been closed from five years ago?" asked Vance, looking at Kimberly with a confused look."I feel that your case is unfinished. So, Mr. Vance, are you willing to agree to have your case reopened? I'm filing an appeal with the prosecutor's office for your case.""You will lose. And it would be a loss to take on my case
Ertan had just delivered Kimberly to her home. "I'm leaving right away. I have work to do; just say hello to Uncle Billy," Ertan said. "Okay." Ertan's car left Kimberly's yard. When he left the gate, Danial was about to turn in. Ertan didn't realize the car driver in front of him was Danial. The car continued to drive. Although Ertan didn't know it was Danial, Danial knew that the car that had just left the gate of Kimberly's house was Ertan's car. After Ertan's car left, Danial stepped back on the gas and drove into the yard.Kimberly, who was about to enter her house, stopped her movement when she saw the arrival of an SUV that was familiar to her. Kimberly was still standing where she was waiting for the master to get out of his car. Soon, the man got out of the car and walked over to the woman who was still standing in front of him. "Dan? Did you drive yourself here?" asked Kimberly who knew that Danial had a me
Kimberly just returned to her room. She saw Danial's empty room; she knew Danial was busy building his new project. Tomorrow is the groundbreaking ceremony.Kimberly sat pensively in her chair. She looked at the paper containing the full address of Arabella's house.Kimberly thought about how to get there without Ben following.She looked towards the secretary's room, and an idea popped into her head. Maybe she could go with one of the secretaries there to outwit Ben.Kimberly took her cell phone and texted Sally to go home together. She wanted to follow Sally to the intersection. Thankfully, Sally didn't ask many questions and said yes immediately.This time, Danial would probably be home late at night. And Kimberly can go to Arabella's place. ***"Where are you going? Why are you riding with me?" asked Sally when they were in her car."Actually, I wanted to buy something for Dan. It's a surprise; if we invite the family driver, we'll get caught," Kimberly explained.Once a
The woman again picked up the watch pendant with the beautiful ruby. She opened the round clock. At the bottom was a clock chart, and on top was a photograph. A picture of the family, Vance, Arabella, and a woman Kimberly was unfamiliar with."Is this woman Arabella's mother?" he muttered.Afraid that it was getting late, Kimberly also put the pendant into her bag and walked out of the room.Kimberly headed towards the office Vance was referring to. But she stopped in her tracks when she saw a large picture hanging on the wall.The people in the picture are Vance, Arabella, Aldric, and a beautiful woman who is different from the one in the pendant."Are Arabella and Aldric's moms different?" muttered Kimberly when she saw that the middle-aged woman in the frame resembled Alfred.It turns out that there are a lot of secrets in this family. And somehow Kimberly is getting more and more curious.She looked at the picture in front of her for a long time. Kimberly hurried into Vance's offi
Kimberly had just arrived at the Gonemanus mansion in a rather alarming condition. Her clothes were dirty and she had a cut on one knee that was bleeding.Danial was standing in front of the entrance, trying to contact someone. The man was walking back and forth there.Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man turned his head. Danial saw the figure of Kimberly, who stood under the snow that rained down on the woman's body.Wordlessly, Danial took wide strides towards Kimberly. Kimberly tightened her grip on the strap of her sling bag nervously, even moving backwards for fear of Danial getting angry with her.But Kimberly didn't expect it. The man pulled Kimberly's body into his warm embrace. His right hand was behind her head and the other on her back."Where have you been? I was so worried about you," Danial whispered.And for some reason, hearing that, Kimberly's heart warmed up; she wanted to cry out of emotion. She thought Danial would scold her again. It turned out that the man loo
Kimberly and Danial were back at the mansion after the grueling groundbreaking ceremony. Activity after activity took place during the event.Arriving in the room, Danial immediately lay down on the bed. Kimberly walked over to the man; she saw Danial had closed his eyes.Kimberly took off the shoes that Danial was wearing and kept them near the laundry basket. She then helped take off Danial's suit.Kimberly successfully untied the tie that Danial had still attached to his shirt after removing his suit. "Umm..."Kimberly saw that Danial's face was very pale. With great concern, Kimberly touched Danial's forehead and it was true, Danial's body temperature had increased."You have a fever?" muttered Kimberly."It is cold," Danial murmured, keeping his eyes closed.Kimberly saw that the man's body was shivering, but his body temperature was so high that he was secreting cold sweat."I'll get Om Bastian," Kimberly said as she was about to leave but Danial held her wrist."Don't
Date: 25/January/20...After less than ten days of Mom and I living in a small rented house, she collapsed. And it turned out that Mom had advanced breast cancer. I was frantic at that time; I didn't know what to do or who to ask for help.At that time, I went to my father's house. There was only Aldric, the son of Melisa, Father's new wife. Although I'm unsure of the exact date of your marriage to Melisa, it is certain that they now reside in the home that my mother and I once called home. The house that holds so many beautiful memories. Memories that I thought would always be like that without changing.Aldric asked me to come in; I refused. I wanted to see Dad, but he was away with Melisa. I was about to leave, but Aldric grabbed my arm and almost harassed me. I was furious and hit him with the strength I had. He grabbed me and said he would never let me go. I ran with tattered clothes because of Aldric. I ran through the snowfall because it was winter without
Arabella FlashbackAfter Mrs. Arabella's funeral, the woman was devastated. She didn't leave the cemetery a single step. It was raining heavily, and she was still sitting before her mother's grave.Until someone came and shaded her small body that was already shivering violently.The figure crouched down beside Arabella's body, hugging her knees."Son, go home with Daddy," said the figure, making Arabella turn her head towards the man. The man she adored was her first love but that was then. After he cheated on her and left her and her mother, only hatred grew in her heart."Go away," muttered Arabella, looking at Vance with a sharp gaze and puffy from crying."Son, it's not what you think. Come home with Daddy, and Daddy will explain everything." "Go..." Arabella stood up from her seat and walked backwards. "Go away! It's all because of you. My mom died because of you, all because of you!" she shouted hysterically uncontrollably.Vance stood up from his position. "You misun
