She had not known that love was such a difficult and painful thing. She thought that being in love meant they could be together. However, it wasn’t as simple as she had imagined.Finally, they were separated by a great chasm, where no one could traverse.After losing her father, she couldn’t afford to lose her mother. She was adopted at a young age, and it was her mother who raised her through thick and thin.She was in anguish, but his sorrow was nowhere lighter than hers…Staring at her again for a long time, Mark turned around and took hold of Yvette’s arm. He bowed politely toward Daisy and apologized, “Aunty, I’m sorry for causing you so much trouble today. I will come again another day to apologize.”“There is no need. The Valentines shall have nothing to do to us anymore. You don’t need to come. I won’t let you in. Now, leave!”“I’m sorry!” Then, he led Yvette away.Getting into his black Bentley, Mark did not utter a word. He drove at a very fast speed.Yvette sat on th
He spoke, and she listened. Just as he was staring deeply into her eyes, she, too, did likewise.They were so close and gazed so deeply at each other, yet they were like the two most distant beings on earth, unable to bridge the gap…“Actually, nothing between us will change. The oath I swore before my mother cannot be undone. So, let us end it here.”Mark stared at her furiously. He clutched her arms unwittingly, the veins on his hand bobbing with anger. As he overdid it, she frowned due to the pain. “It hurts…”Leaning forward, he kissed her right on the lips firmly and passionately.From between his lips and teeth, he spewed out some words, suppressed in his deep voice, “Let us be hurt, and to hell, we go together!”With all her might, Summer shoved him away. She panted heavily, and her chest was pounding.At that moment, Mark was like a relentless and wretched lunatic. She hurt him. So, he also wanted her to be hurt. May they both be hurt. Let no one be free of it. Going t
“Stop wasting your time. I will never allow Summer to be together with you, not even over my dead body. Back then, I would have been moved by your persistence.“But not anymore. Summer’s father’s portrait hangs in the living hall. Every time I see it, I am reminded of his death. Did you think that you standing here for many days could ease my immense resentment? Never!“If you do not wish to see my relationship with Summer become stale, then get away from my sight, and stay away from her. I have never been this heart-hardened before. Even though it is the first time, I will remain resolute!”She had lost him forever in just one night. How could she withstand such misfortune?He was her soulmate, her firmament. Without him, her world was in shambles, and everything before her was pitch black darkness! Just then, a call came from the office as though an emergency had occurred. Mark gestured politely and left.However, Daisy wasn’t moved a single bit. She remained headstrong.Summ
“That has nothing to do with me. I’m just here to inform you. It’s up to you whether you want to listen.”It was a brief conversation. Immediately after, Raine hung up. She found out that Samantha had no relatives in Grudin North.She had given birth to her. Therefore, burying her was simply an obligation.As for what Summer wanted to do or had in mind, that was her own matter. It was none of her concern. Not willing to trouble Grace anymore, she went to the real estate agency. There she found a house for rent. It wasn’t very luxurious, but it was accommodable.Knowing that Daisy still wasn’t ready to meet her, Summer did not perturb her. She bought some health products and handed them to Forrest so that he could care for her.The new house did not have very pleasant amenities. The windows were small, and there was no parking garage. She had planned to buy a car, that was what she thought.The transportation and navigation weren’t very convenient. Thus, there was no need for an
He wore a formal black outfit. Not a crease could be found. Only a few days had passed, yet he appeared skinnier. However, his chiseled face was even more defined and stunning.People like him were born to look good in formal outfits. He had that perfect physique—broad shoulders, narrow hips—that could rock every inch of the outfit, attracting attention. The car behind stopped as well, and the mayor of Santabaca emerged from it.Recomposing herself, she avoided eye contact and lowered her head, hiding herself among the crowd.As though there was something, Mark glanced across the crowd, and his sight landed on a certain spot; after gazing at it for some time, he averted.The three men walked side by side with each other while the rest marched behind. It was a splendid procession.The lady teacher beside her sneered, “Look at the principal and Mr. Valentine. They are both in formal outfits, but the contrast is just like heaven and hell!”All the lady teachers’ attention gathered
Her gaze was fixated on the road ahead as she focused on driving without uttering a word. She was careful as she was still not used to driving. He watched her as he leaned on the side of the window with his chin in his hand. He couldn't explain it clearly in words, but he thought she looked attractive when she was focused. He asked, "Why did you decide to get a car?" He shifted in his seat when he asked. The car felt slightly cramped for him, and he felt somewhat aggrieved. "I've decided to start afresh. Anyways, don't talk to me when I'm driving." He ignored what she said and asked, "Start afresh?" "Yes. I'm starting a new life which does not have you in it," she replied as she thought, 'I can only be cruel to myself if I'm able to be cruel to you.' His eyes darkened in a flash, and a cold, gloomy air radiated off him. He smirked and spoke up after a while, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.." Summer didn't spare him a glace. She always had total focus on the roa
He remained on the couch after she left. Then, he got up and took out a bottle of brandy. He could see her leave further and further away until she disappeared into the void as he stood by the window. ‘What a cruel woman,' he thought. Brandy is highly concentrated, but he finished the whole bottle. He hadn't had a good night's sleep ever since she left, so he thought resorting to drowning in alcohol and numb his senses would be a great decision. Having finished the bottle, he laid on the couch, and the doorbell rang. He missed it as he was fast asleep. The person at the door opened the door herself after not getting any response, and she who stepped in was Raine. She wore a long blue coat that reached her ankles with a belt fastened on her waist and a pair of heels on her feet. She entered the room and found him sleeping on the couch. The apartment smelt of alcohol, and she furrowed her brows at how pungent it was as she wondered how much he drank. Raine headed to the
His eyes darkened after he heard her words. They were as dark as coal. "Do you really want to come?" he asked."Yes," she answered without hesitation. She was determined to go; she wanted to know which place exactly did he think was not proper for her to follow along. ...However, she hadn't expected him to bring her to the place they had come to...He had brought her to Summer's house, and he was on his knees, begging for Daisy's forgiveness while she stood aside. ‘What is going on?' she thought.‘He drunk so much just now and hasn't even sobered up, nor can he even open his eyes fully, yet the first place he thought of going is her house? Am I not hurt enough?' Her heart had ached and bled so painfully at that moment, and never had she felt this way before. The door remained shut after Daisy opened the door and shut it hard in their faces. Mark's expression did not waver, nor did it darken. Dressed in his suit, he stood there. Raine had never seen him like that. He
