What would you do if, on the day of your wedding, someone unexpectedly showed up not to congratulate you but rather to interrupt this very special day of yours? Gavin had been looking forward to this momentous occasion, but unfortunately, it was ruined by the lies of an unknown woman. Worse yet, she claimed to be pregnant and that Gavin was the father of the child she was carrying. The marriage he dreamed of was all but ruined. The woman who was to be his bride began to despise him and ultimately abandoned him at the altar. His family, almost disowned him and was fuming mad at what happened. As well as the people closest to him, they all hated him. Then, the woman who had ruined his wedding day suddenly vanished like a mere bubble. This was the catalyst for everything that had happened. It may appear to be a hopeless situation, but unfortunately, that is what transpired in Gavin's life. Things went from bad to worse. After some time had passed, Gavin was taken aback when he ran into her again. The woman that he had always looked forward to talking to. The same woman who, many years ago, made the announcement in front of the church that she was expecting his child. What steps ought to be taken? And how can Gavin exact revenge on the woman who destroyed his life when it was during this time that he found the love of his life?

Chapter 1

PROLOGUE

Shantelle

"Is it written in the stars that I will succumb to this illness and die? If that is the way that fate brought for me, then do I have no other option but to wait until the day that I pass away?”

When I got the news from the doctor earlier about my condition, this was the first thing that went through my head.

But as soon as the images of my younger siblings popped into my head, I quickly pushed that idea out of my mind.

While I was forcing those unfavourable thoughts out of my head, I told myself that I should not think that way because my siblings are counting on me, and because of that, I need to be strong.

Even though a pleasant breeze was blowing in my direction and touching my face, I was unable to settle down and enjoy the moment. 

Because there were so many trees surrounding the location where I am right now, the wind was very strong. I made the decision to clear my head, so I went to this park that is close to the hospital.

If I were to tell my siblings that I am sick and could die because of my illness, I have a feeling that we would all start crying. 

How could I possibly tell them that their older sister was sick and would pass away in the near future?

When the results of the various tests that I had to go through were finally out, the doctor got in touch with me right away. 

As soon as I arrived at the hospital, the attending physician briefed me on my condition, which caused me to come dangerously close to passing out. 

I have been diagnosed with cervical cancer. 

It was curable, but it wasn't for people who were in my financial situation and couldn't afford the treatment or the operation.

The operation requires a significant amount of money, which I do not currently possess, and the salary that I earned was insufficient to ensure that we had enough money to live on. 

When our parents were killed in an airplane accident three years ago, I was the only person on whom the rest of my siblings could rely for support. 

Therefore, I will not be able to pass away calmly in the knowledge that there are special people in this world for whom I would be leaving this world because they feel that I should not die.

I should do everything in my will to stay alive. 

But the question is, is it really possible for me to avoid passing away from cancer? 

Where can I get the money?

People have always died young at some point in history, but I just couldn't bring myself to accept the fact that I'm going to be one of those people. 

I still have a lot of work to do, and I have a responsibility to provide for my siblings for as long as I am able to.

I raised my left arm and placed it on my head in order to shield my eyes from the glaring light that was emanating from the sun. 

Should I have known better and not gone to the hospital? 

The tests cost me money, but they did not provide the results that I was hoping for. 

At least I am now ready for whatever is going to happen to me in the future.

When I realized that there was no point in continuing to think about what I ought to do to get out of my predicament, I stood up and made the decision to go home.

All that was required of me was to make the most of the time I had by making productive use of it, and then I should get started planning and saving money for the future of my siblings.

My daydreaming was abruptly brought back to reality when I collided with something—or should I say someone?

‘Nurse…’

When I was in the hospital, Nurse Peighton was the one who assisted me.

I mumbled an apology and tried to get out of her way as quickly as possible, but when she started talking, my feet just stopped moving.

"I am aware of what is taking place with you. I was wondering if you could spare a minute or two to talk to me." According to Nurse Peighton.

I joined her on the bench and remarked, "I suppose there's no harm in hearing you out." We both smiled, at each other.

"After the doctor informed you of the results of your test, you went silent for an entire minute and did not ask any questions pertaining to your treatment. You didn't waste any time and just said your goodbyes before leaving."

She paused for a short while, but I maintained my silence throughout the pause.

She continued, "I figured out that your problem is the money you will need for the operation, and I could help you with that,” she said.

"Hold on just a second, you are willing to spend your money on someone you didn't know, really? But why?" I inquired while my eyes clearly conveyed my confusion.

"You are this hospital’s patient, and my father was the owner of the hospital. Let’s say, it’s a part of good deed, but in general, I would not do something like this to our patients.”

“It’s not free either. You will be charged for it, despite the fact that it wasn’t your idea in the first place. It would mean a lot to me if you could help me out with this. Think of the money that I will give you as compensation for the favour that you will do for me.”

"You are in need of financial assistance, and so am I. I mean, I need someone’s help. This has no negative consequences for anyone involved. Your lives will be extended if you receive treatment, and you won't have to worry about pointless matters once you've reached that point. To help me out, all I ask is that you perform one simple task. So, what are your thoughts on that? Are you willing to take it?" 

When I looked into her eyes, I could tell that she was being very serious about what she was saying.

If your life was on the line, nobody would take you up on this offer.

Because I need to live for a longer period of time and I don't believe an opportunity like this will arise again, I shouldn't waste time hesitating.

"Alright, Nurse Peighton, I'll take your offer. I will do the task, in exchange of my treatment. Thank you very much." 

I wanted to show her that I was on the same page as she was, so I extended my hand to her. She accepted it and gave each of us a firm shake on the hand.

"In that case, everything should be fine. I will send you a text message with the time and location of our meeting tomorrow. My allotment of time is nearly up. See you."

After tapping me on the shoulder, she stood up and headed back to the hospital.

I was able to discover hope, and now I will do anything in my power to preserve it.

I got her message as soon as I got home, which was at three in the afternoon at the restaurant just behind the hospital. 

Although the time was the same, the location was different.

It's fine, but I hope there isn't anything that can be argued against, and it might take a long time to discuss her favor if it does happen to come up....

I went to the cafe earlier than necessary in order to wait for Ms. Peighton, but I didn't think that she would be there before the appointed time as well.

As she entered the room, she greeted me and asked, "Hello, did I make you wait?"

"No, you didn't. I just got here early, so I won't make you wait for me any longer than necessary."

"Let me first get us some coffee and then I'll tell you what favor you have to do for me."

"Oh, there's no need to place an order for me. I'm okay."

She insisted, "Don't worry, it's on me," and then went to the counter to pay for it.

When she got back, she briefed me on the task I was supposed to be working on, and what she said completely blew my mind.

I questioned her about the matter because it was possible that I might had just misunderstood what had been said, but she responded without any hesitance.

The conversation came to an end after a few minutes of me being instructed on what I ought to do. 

At first, I had some reservations about this, but ultimately, I came to accept it. 

Even if it were not illegal, it would not have been the right thing to do, it was all wong, in my opinion.

"Shantelle, are you having any second thoughts about this?" I raised my chin and turned to face her direction of travel.

"You shouldn't. I mean, you don’t have to, as no one will lend you money knowing that you are having trouble making ends meet, especially considering that I am willing to pay you back for it. Do exactly as I have instructed."

"But…"

"If you decline this offer, think of the consequences sooner or later. You will not be treated, and when you pass away, it will be your siblings, not you, who will bear the consequences of this decision. Have you thought about allowing that to happen, Ms. Clarkson?”

She was absolutely right, and if something were to happen to me, my family would be the ones to suffer, not me. 

I really hope that doesn't happen, but even if it does, I don't think I'd be able to handle that job.

"You have absolutely nothing to be concerned about at all. After you have completed the task, I will hand over the necessary sum of money to you. I'll assist you in evacuating this location so that no one can identify you and search for you,” She continued her efforts to persuade me and said.

"Okay."

"So, are you going to do it?"

I nodded and said, "Yes, I'll do it but just only this time, and you should keep your promise.”

Despite the fact that I was still having second thoughts, but I didn't have a choice because I was in the position where I couldn't back out.

"That's fantastic news, by the way. This is a one-time favor, and once you've finished your work, I'll hand over the money to you."

"Here, take it. You are going to wear them for tomorrow." 

She handed me two boxes for the event, and all I could do was cross my fingers and hope that nothing untoward would occur.

Before we went our separate ways, she refreshed my memory on what I needed to do once more. 

I also made certain that I had a complete comprehension of everything that she required of me.

The favor she was asking for was not simple to perform, not because it was challenging, but rather because it was unethical regardless of the motivation behind it.

Simply completing this task is all that is required of me; after that, I will no longer be responsible for anything.

"Sister! Shantelle? You’re home already?" My younger sister, Vienne, spoke to me.

I was unaware that I had already arrived at our home until it was pointed out to me.

My mind was preoccupied with the things that I had discussed with the nurse.

Since yesterday, and really ever since I first learned about my condition, I've been doing a lot of thinking.

"Yeah, do you need anything?" After clearing my thoughts, I turned my attention to her.

“Actually, yes, we need to pay the tuition fee as soon as possible for both mine and Cristopher's classes because, if we don't, both of us will be expelled from the school.”

"Okay, I understand. You do not need to be concerned about it, and you should direct your attention solely to your studies because I will manage your finances."

I suppose there wasn't any way to go back now. 

I had already come to terms with it, so there was nothing I could do about the many what-if questions that kept running through my head. 

Because we are in desperate need of funds, I have decided to take on this position.

I really hope that tomorrow goes smoothly for me.

CHAPTER 1: Her Will To Live
ShantelleWhen the priest began speaking, I knew it was my cue to enter the scene. I was nervous, but the fact that that I will live longer outweighed my fears and worries.‘I had to do this, for my family!’ I silently mumbled as I took a deep breath and strolled my way inside."Gavin Adams! Stop! Don’t do this to me! Stop this wedding, now!" As soon as I entered the hallway, I let out a shout and everyone inside immediately turned their attention to me. Shock was evident in their faces.My focus shifted to the front of the room, and fixed my eyes on the groom, and with his bride."Gavin, you know that I am pregnant. And you're the father of this child! Yet, you wanted to get married to someone else? How could you do this to me?"I pretended that I was becoming weaker, but that wasn't entirely true. I really was weakening. The anxiety was really draining my strength, and I couldn't do anything about it.I really hoped that they wouldn't figure out that I was just making things up.P

CHAPTER 2: A New Life
ShantelleYears later…"I hope you had a good morning, Shantelle. I have compiled both your agenda for the day as well as the list of appointments that I have set up for you below.” When she spoke, Cara was courteous. It just so happened that she was my friend from work, and she offered to be my secretary at the office.I said, "Allow me to take a quick look," and when I checked the paper, I found that I was correct. I saw his name again. Gavin Adams.I have no idea what's going on with him, but after these many years, there is no way that we will ever cross paths again."Have you already emailed Mr. Adams about our meeting schedule with him?" I asked her."Not just yet, because you assured me that you would check it first before we set our meeting with our customers," she said.As I handed her the paper, I said, "Then, replace our schedule with another client." I then walked away."Pardon? Will this be the third time you blow off your appointment with this client?”She questioned

CHAPTER 3: Haunted by The Past
ShantelleAfter work, Vienne called me and requested that we go home together.I usually stayed at the office for thirty minutes or more, but she asked me to take her somewhere. She appeared to be close to the building.Vienne was already standing beside my car when I arrived at the parking lot. I didn't want to buy anything unnecessary, such as this car, but it was convenient for work and easy to get to."What brings you here?" I asked her as I was about to take a step back. The university where she was studying was a long distance away."My friends and I went to the newly opened bake shop in this neighborhood. We tried it because someone said their pastries were good." She responded."And it turned out to be ideal. I purchased some for the three of you,” she explained as she held up the box she was holding.When we arrived home, Aunt Trina greeted us, and I noticed that Cristopher had not yet arrived."Auntie, I'll be in my room for the time being. I need to go over something, pl

CHAPTER 4: Too Early To Have Fun
Shantelle"Are the items we need already prepared?" I informed my team.We're meeting with our soon-to-be business partner at the last minute. Even if Gavin requested a cooperation, we must exhibit all that the Star Food Company has to offer in order to secure their favor.If we succeed today, we will have a great chance since our firm will be renowned after Gavin's business is thriving in Standford."Yeah, we're ready. All of the paperwork have been reviewed and finalized. We're ready to go,” Cara said.I was grateful to have Cara by my side. She was a wonderful friend and co-worker of mine. I didn't think I'd make it through the day.I eventually decided to address the suggestion with the team the day after Dani asked me to a party. Everyone gave the same response. We should not pass up this opportunity without giving it a go.I had no idea Gavin's Adams Enterprise was well-known in Standford, much alone here in Kensington.Gavin's business was a nice find.

CHAPTER 5: The Table Is On Him
ShantelleIt's been a week since my firm met with Gavin, but I've received no feedback. Every day, I had multiple meetings with various customers, but I never heard from Adams Enterprise.“That man, really.”I was irritated because I believed we were missing, which was why they stopped contacting us. Gavin was the first to reject our proposition, and he should be the last.I couldn't believe him; it was his idea, yet he dared to fully reject us. I really wished we hadn't agreed to offer our proposition to them."Hi ladies, how have you been?" It was Dani.I gave her a quick look before returning to what I was doing."How did your idea with Adams Enterprise work out? Did you reach an agreement?" she said, her eyes bright with joy.On the contrary, I stopped writing and vented my rage once again.Cara tapped Dani on the shoulder and said she shouldn't bring it up since it was irritating me when others questioned me about it."It's all right, Cara. She has a right to know," I explained

CHAPTER 6: Unexpected Interaction
ShantelleI stroked the temples of my head to relieve the ache. I couldn't sleep since I'd been conducting a lot of study and testing for Mrs. Thompson. I knew I wasn't alone in this, but I wanted to do it first-hand.I've always been like this when I've had new customers or when the client expected me to manage everything on my own. Star Food has recently received a large number of appointments and bids as a result of our regular customers' recommendation. That is why we sought out extra researchers to assist us in catering to all of our clientele."Remember to eat on schedule and take breaks if you want to continue working. If you didn't, you may become ill again." Aunt Trina's worry was directed at me."Thank you, and I'm looking after myself. You should not be concerned. My doctor said that the cancer cells were fully eradicated. Thank you so much for all you've done for us." I kissed Auntie's cheeks and said my goodbyes.I went to my office and collected all of the documents I

CHAPTER 7: The Taste Of Revenge
GavinI instantly followed her as she turned her back on me. I couldn't help but feel furious with her, even though I noticed a glitter of tears in her eyes. I wanted her to pay for what she had done to me.I thought I'd forgotten everything that had occurred, but as I caught a sight of her, all the anguish I'd gone through surged back, and I was filled with wrath once again.Everything came apart when my beloved Loisa fled our wedding due of that woman. Loisa, like my father, had lost faith in me.…."Loisa! Let's speak about it. Everything is a misconception. I will never, ever cheat on you!" I yelled angrily outside their home."Loisa, please! Please give me a chance. We can go through this together!" I shouted it aloud, but it was her father who confronted me with a pistol."Bastard, get out of here before I murder you! What do you expect when you injure my daughter? To easily forgive you? That’s bullshit!" While pointing the pistol, her father informed me."Please, Dad! It was a

CHAPTER 8: Karma is A Bitch
ShantelleGavin obstructed my path and refused to allow me return to my room. So there I was, being dragged to the bar by that dude. It was already late in the evening, so people continued arriving to this pub, and it grew more vibrant and crazy.I wore simply a thin blue dress since I never expected to be drawn by someone I didn't want to see.It was difficult to navigate the mob, and I had no idea where we were heading. My arm had already become red from Gavin's tight grip, as if he was afraid I would be out of sight, but it was real. ‘Fuck this guy! He’s really gone mad!’ I tried to move his hand away, but he wouldn't budge.When he realized it, he grabbed me and pushed me into him. He merely let go of my arm to hug my waist and murmur into my ear."Stop fighting, Ms. Clarkson, you can't get away from me anymore. Never, not even in your dreams. So bear with it!" I couldn't find myself against his words since his voice was so velvety.I've gone to a few bars. I got accustomed to

CHAPTER 9: Her, First… Kiss?
ShantelleI can’t believe he just did that. That was my, first kiss."How could you?" I shouted, putting my fingers to my mouth.I couldn't imagine it would be my first kiss with that man. I never saw me losing to Gavin. I was not the sort of person who would casually kiss someone, thus I had never been kissed since I didn't even have a partner.“What? That was only a kiss," he laughed as he look into my lips again."Since you are not my lover, you have no right to kiss me. Why in the world would you do that?" I couldn't stop cursing him."Oh, honey. Remember what you said before? We made love for, not only for a night, but more than enough that I couldn’t remember. That’s what you said when you interrupted my wedding, and you even want me to recall what occurred between us," he grinned."Maybe that kiss would help me remember how we made it, right? Did we do it twice or once? I'm sorry, I can't really recall," he added, delighted by our conversation."You already know it was a lie,
