Elizabeth was speechless on the weird gesture of her ex-husband. She didn't know what inside Charles' mind because this all never happened when they were still married. He was always drunk whenever he was taking her in. Those times were still very clear to her. The times that she was suffering in silence and cried in silence while Charles was on her side. Those times she tried to bear all the pain because she had hope that she could save their marriage. She never experienced this gentleness from him back then. She was quietly staring at him until they finally got back inside his office and started to wear the clothes that they were wearing earlier. There was silence that was between them until they were done putting all their clothes on. She was sitting on the couch staring at nowhere. She couldn't find the right words to utter while Charles was busy reheating the water in the electric kettle. Something just happened to her and ex-husband. What happened to her? Did she just
They both came out of the Jones building and headed to Charles' car. He opened the car door for her and then he immediately turned around to ride on the driver's seat. Just after a while, they were already heading out of the Jones Holders premises. "Can you give me the address of your place?" Charles suddenly asked as soon as they were on the highway. Her eyebrows were drawn together and then suddenly remembered. "You know where my grandma's home is, right?" She said to her. She could still remember that Charles and her were actually playing in that old house whenever he and his grandmother would visit her grandma. She could still remember those days when they were just young and all they did was play. She couldn't recall when her heart started to beat for him. She just realised that one day, she felt different towards him and she couldn't tell if her grandmother actually noticed that and that was one of the reasons why she and Charles' grandmother came up w
Yes. Should I need to explain?" Elizabeth replied in a smug tone. "Well, I guess, you don't trust me at all," she added and then shrugged her shoulders. She really made him feel that she was not happy with the kind of reaction that he was showing to her. "No, I am sorry. I just couldn't quite imagine that you are actually living with your assistant," the man said without beating around the bush. She could see that somehow there was disappointment that crossed his face. "What's wrong with it?" She said and her eyebrows were drawn together. She knew what she meant but she wanted to make him feel that he was trying to insinuate something that she didn't like. How could she think that way to her? Was she really the type of woman that would jump in bed with any man that she had met? If only Charles knew that no one had screwed her like what he did except for him. She shook her head with disappointment after she had heard what he said. Charles
Two weeks had passed since what happened between her and Charles at the office and it never happened again. "Ellie, here's the report," Arnold handed her the folder. She could feel her heart beating so fast as she looked at the folder. She knew that the moment that she opened the folder, she would be able to know what really happened to Albert, the man who didn't want anything but to help her get the justice and the birth right of her son. She had a strong feeling that she was closer to unveiling the truth and to give justice in his death. She would make sure that his death wouldn't go in vain. She took a deep breath while she opened the envelope slowly. She couldn't understand but there was like a drum rolling inside her chest as she opened the envelope. Her eyes were drawn together as she saw the information that was written in the report. She couldn't help the anger that suddenly rose inside her chest after she read everything that was written there. All alon
Charles was not surprised by the urgent meeting that Elizabeth had requested. He just shook his head when he heard that she instructed everyone in the conference room. He already had an idea of what it was all about but the woman didn't know that he already knew that she was going to do this. He couldn't imagine how he was able to keep himself cool after what the woman had done. The two shareholders were loyal to him. They were one of the first shareholders so they informed him about Elizabeth's plan. He couldn't help but wonder what the woman was up to. It seemed that she had talked to the wrong person and he was given a heads up that she was about to do something in the company. He was thankful to those two because of their loyalty but something came inside his mind. He spoke to them about the negotiation that Elizabeth was doing with them. And, he couldn't understand that instead of getting furious, he wanted to go by her flow and he didn't want to oppose her plans. He
Elizabeth gradually opened her eyes but before she could roam her gaze around as she felt that she was in an unfamiliar room, she already heard Charles' voice. She felt a bit weak. "How are you feeling now? Is there anything that hurts?" His voice filled with concern based on his tone. She looked at Charles and then he stood next to her bed. "What happened?" She asked as she held her forehead. She was feeling a bit dizzy. She could see her surroundings turning around. She couldn't understand what kind of feeling she had at the moment. So she decided to closed her eyes again. "You lost consciousness, that's why we brought you here in the hospital. You looked pale and you were in pain," Charles said full of worry and concern in his voice. "Also, you have to take care of yourself and our baby," Charles added which made the heart skip a beat. She didn't know what exactly she should say as she opened her eyes again. There were a lot of
Elizabeth was discharged the same day that she was brought in the hospital since she passed out because she was pregnant and nothing else. But instead of going back to the office, Charles drove her back to her house. She was just quiet while they were on their way because there were a lot of things that were running inside her head. There were some changes in her plans but she was hoping that soon she would be having the victory in her hands. "Thank you," she said when the car stopped in front of her grandmother's house. She immediately unbuckled her seatbelt and got off at Charles' car. "Let me get you inside of the house," Charles suggested, which she didn't refuse. She couldn't figure out what was running inside the man's head. Since he found out that she was pregnant with their child, he seemed to be so gentle to her and all he wanted to do was look after her. He had changed but like what she had thought earlier. It was so late for him to do everythi
Charles didn't know what to say. He was speechless because of what Daniel reported to him. He remembered his mother's reaction earlier after she learned that Elizabeth was taking over the company and at the same time the words of Elizabeth before he left her flashed in his mind. Thieves inside the company. He was starting to have a clue what was going on inside the company as he tried to connect the dots. The two important women in his life seemed to be up to something that he didn't know. After he got all the information he needed from his assistant and all the meetings he needed to attend and also the documents that he needed to sign, he dismissed him. He wanted some time alone. He wanted to think about all the things that were happening around him. But Daniel was about to open the door when he spoke. The man was stopped from what he was about to do. "Ahm, Daniel," he said, sounding hesitant. His assistant's eyebrows lifted. "Yes, sir?" He as
"Elaine!" Elizabeth shouted after she took the phone from Charles. She saw who was the caller before Charles answered the call. "Don't you dare hurt my son or else you will see what you are looking for!" She added. She couldn't imagine what she could do if something happened to Albert. He was her priceless treasure. She had protected her all of his life and she wouldn't allow Elaine just to take away the life that her son deserved. She wouldn't let her kill her son like what Mrs. Jones did to her first three unborn babies. She heard a demonic laugh on the other line.It was as if Elaine was not affected at all with what she had said. She was laughing like crazy over the other line. The sound of her laughter was irritating in the ears. "You bitch! Whatever! You took everything to me. The man that I love and now my son? What do you think of yourself? You took them all away from me! You asshole! You send my mother to jail!" Elaine shouted from the o
"Mom!" A familiar voice made her wide open her mouth. It was her son coming from outside that made her get up. She was glad that she was already wearing her nightgown because the door just suddenly opened. It was Nanny Maria and Albert. She missed both of them and she was just staring at them as they got inside of the bedroom. "Good morning. Are you still sleeping? "Good morning. It's okay Nanny Maria. How's my baby? Come to mommy," she said and then she opened her arms waiting for her son to come to her. "I am good. Good morning, Mommy! You don't know how much I miss you. Where is daddy?" Albert suddenly asked her after he gave her a hug. She looked at her Nanny Maria as she didn't know what to say to her son. She didn't know how to answer his question. She found herself alone in the bedroom earlier. Charles was already gone and she had no idea where he was. She was thinking when all
Elizabeth went back to the bedroom when she was already done having their dinner. Because of tiredness and the effect of the medicine that she took, she fell asleep and she was unable to wait for Charles to go back home. She was in a deep sleep when she felt a warm breath that was next to her face. Even in sleep, she felt the thrilling sensation that was brought by it. She could feel the sudden rose of her tiny hairs in her nape. A hand that was gently caressing her body and one hand was actually gently pulling down her underwear. A warmth breath on her neck made her body heat. Suddenly, she felt someone sucking and kissing her breasts. He was like a baby sucking her nipple. A moan escaped her lips. She was starting to get damp down there. The burning sensation started to flow in her body and she couldn't help but arched with the sensation that she was starting to feel. He is taking her gently and slowly. It wasn't the usual way when he wanted
Elizabeth slowly opened her eyes and she found herself in a room with white paint all over. If she couldn't be mistaken, she's in a hospital. She turned her head on her right side and she saw Arnold. Her eyes were drawn together. She was wondering how she was in the hospital. "Why am I here? How did I come here?" She couldn't help but ask. "I received a call from the servants and Charles," Arnold said. "Your place has been shot." She felt like her body was suddenly frozen because of the fear that crippled inside her body when she heard what Arnold said. She could remember everything. The sound of the shooting guns seemed like echoing inside her heart. She took a deep breath to calm herself. Earlier, while she was in the bathtub, the gun shooting happened. She was glad the call that she made with Charles got connected but she was so scared and the only thing that she could remember that she said was ther
"I cannot believe it. Did you really do that?" Elizabeth said, full of disbelief in her voice. "Yes," Charles confirmed to her. "I am sorry. I am just so worried about you and our child. I know you have a sensitive pregnancy and I am just scared that you might have miscarriage again so I tried to keep an eye on you as much as I could. So, I can be there if you need any help. I don't want what happened before to happen again. I consider this as a blessing because for the fourth time, you got pregnant," Charles explained to her with sincerity. She could feel in his voice that he only wanted to make sure that she was okay. Elizabeth didn't know what to feel but she knew that her heart was swelling because of so much happiness. She could tell that Charles was really concerned about her. It seemed that the man had really changed. She had witnessed it all earlier. She had seen how he had talked back to Elaine and his mother. He defe
Charles removed Mrs. Jones' hands that were embracing his legs. He couldn't believe the woman who raised him was an evil. He felt so bad because of all the things that happened in his life. He was stolen a couple of years to be with Elizabeth and their child. He felt like his heart was stabbed by a sharp knife. He was supposed to be with Elizabeth when she gave birth to their son but because of his own mother, he lost that chance. He missed those moments with his child. He was supposed to be there while he was growing old and witness his milestones but he was not given a chance because of the deception. Charles felt like his heart was being squeezed with the realisation that he had been a toy of Mrs. Jones and Elaine. The two women made a fool out of him. How could they be selfish? How could his mother and Elaine ruin his life because of their selfish ambition? How could they be this greedy that they were willing to kill people just to get what they wanted in li
"What are you doing here?""Why are you here?" Those were the questions that came out from Elaine and Charles. The two were both surprised to see each other. Elizabeth was just looking at the two women who just got inside her office without even knocking. They really act as if they were someone that was over her. "Shouldn't I be the one who is asking you that question? Both of you? What are you two doing here? You don't even give respect to the person who's staying in this room," Charles said in an authoritative tone. She could say that the man was furious because of his tone of voice but the two women in front of them were not even bothered. "Why should we even knock? Why should we pay respect? Who do you think she is?" Mrs. Jones mumbled as she was looking sharply at her. Elizabeth couldn't believe how thick the faces of these two women showed up in her office as if they had not done anything wrong to her. She tried to stay calm
After Charles saw what was inside the envelope and read what was written on it, he immediately stood up and then he went to Elizabeth's office. "Hi," he greeted Elizabeth, who was busy eating ice cream and strawberries. He couldn't believe that she was eating these again just like how she ate the green mango and the ice cream before. He couldn't help but wonder how her stomach was taking that kind of food. If he would be the one eating that, he knew that he wouldn't get out of the washroom. But, Elizabeth seemed to be enjoying every bite that she was having. Daniel was right when he said that pregnant women were really into weird food. He could see that to Elizabeth. If she wouldn't be eating mangoes, he would be seeing her chewing strawberries. He couldn't help but shake his head because of how funny being pregnant could be. "Hello," Elizabeth greeted him. "What brought you here?" She quickly asked while he was walking straight to her desk.
Elizabeth felt like she was a melting candle when she saw the message and the photo of her with her son. Arnold quickly guided her to the couch. She didn't know what to think of. A lot of things started to flood her mind. She wanted to get mad because of these people who were behind everything that was happening in their lives. She couldn't believe that vicious people like these existed in this world. How could they even sleep with their conscience? "Stay strong," Arnold said, who was also sitting on the couch with her. "I already called Nanny Maria and informed her not to step out of the house. She needed to stay and keep an eye with Albert. Then, I already sent a message to your dad. I told him that he needed to add more security to your house in Barcelona," Arnold exclaimed. She felt like her whole body was still trembling. This was what she had feared the most. This was her main reason why she didn't want Charles to see Albert yet. She knew that thes
