(Leo Wilson's POV)At an elite summit half a month later, I meet Daisy again.She is still so charming in normal business attire that I can't take my eyes off her.Although she rejected me that day, I actually agree with her.I shouldn't have bothered her rashly until I'm divorced.I should have respected her more than seeing her as one of those frivolous women who would surrender to one look of mine.She is so special, and even the way she rejects me is so lovely.And…After I fainted from heartache that night, I woke up to find myself in the hospital and my heart was no longer in pain.A nurse told me that Daisy brought me here.She may not be as resistant to me as she seems.She is sitting a few dozen meters away from me, next to George, the vice president of NK Media.She avoids my sight again.Maybe I'm special to her too?I chuckle and is about to sit across from her when I notice Haden Brown, an acquaintance of mine. Haden sits down beside Daisy and begin moving his chair. Now
(Flora Mana's POV)Leo's check makes my heart pound.I didn't expect that he doesn't get angry after being rejected and even offers an olive branch.Can I accept it?I can't.I shred the blank check and throw it into a dustbin.My only relief is that he didn't investigate me during the past half month.Otherwise he should have known that Daisy and Flora are the same person.I don't want to go back to George and Haden.But I don't even want to see Leo again.Distraught, I hurriedly enter the toilet and hide in the innermost cubicle, thinking what the hell I should do.I hear a strange man's voice."Is your medicine ready?"I realize I was so panicked that I went into the men's room.Embarrassed, I quickly cover my mouth and nose so they won't hear my breathing.In the silence, their voices become clearer."Of course. A small bite is enough for an elephant," another man replies."Dilute it a little bit. Mr. Haden Brown plans to win Leo's money before anesthetizing him. Even if he doesn'
(Leo Wilson's POV)I don't feel well tonight.I've been in a daze since I took a sip of the tequila.I even misjudged a few key cards and lost a lot.I'm drunk?It's impossible. I'm a good drinker."Leo, you just lost hundreds of thousands. Are you going to run away?" Haden is challenging me.I glance at him and retort, "It's just a little money. I don't take it seriously. Do you lack money?""Hahaha..." Haden burst into laughter.The people around us are also laughing.They are so noisy.My head is buzzing.I'm about to win, but when I show my last card and is about to take back my chips, I can't keep sober anymore and faint."He fainted!" In a daze, I hear someone talking.I'm still awake, but I can't open my eyes.Someone turns me over and fumbles for something on me."Is that it?" Someone takes something from me."You idiot. This is just a blue key ring, and we want a flash disk. Don't you know the flash disk?"Blue…Ring…No! They can't take it away!I'm stimulated and struggle to
(Flora Mana's POV)Like a lost fly, I looked for Leo everywhere in the casino, but I didn't find him.A drunken man stopped me."Miss, how much do you want?""I don't want money." As I speak, I see a man laboriously helps Leo who fainted downstairs.It seems that he has taken some kind of overpowering drug.I come too late.But the fact that someone is helping Leo relieves me and I want to leave.But the drunkard grabs me."It's great that you are free. Come with me.""No! Let me go!" I struggle desperately, but his strength is astonishing.I call for help from the gamblers around me, but they either don't notice me at all, or watch indifferently."You have no right to refuse me!" The drunkard drags me and is about to leave.My hand hurts, but I can't get rid of him. So I raise my leg and kick him hard."Damn it!" the drunkard cries out in pain and become angrier. Seeing my resistance, he raises his hand high and is about to hit me!I try to avoid him, but he grabs my hair.I can't es
(Leo Wilson's POV)"Why do you want to know about me and Flora?" I ask Daisy.In the light of the lamp, she looks a little sad."Maybe it's because my marriage isn't going well...""Your husband must be blind." I comfort her."Maybe, so I want to know your opinion on your marriage." She gives me a melancholy smile.I decide to tell her the truth."My marriage with Flora is a commercial one. At that time, my group was hit by the global financial crisis. Flora's father left a large fortune to her and her mother, but they didn't know how to manage it, so they transferred the fortune to me through this marriage. In exchange, I must give them enough economic returns.""Does your wife know that you treat your marriage in this way?"She asks a question that I never think of."I didn't tell her directly, but I haven't been home for three years since we got married, and I don't even know what she looks like. So I think she will understand what I mean sooner or later and plan for her future lif
(Flora Mana's POV)After talking to Leo Wilson about marriage, my heart is relieved, though I heard a lot of things I didn't want to be told.It turns out that by avoiding me for the past three years, he has given me back my freedom long ago.It is me who has been willingly imprisoning myself in the name of love.Signing the divorce papers is indeed a relief.It may painful, but I think time will heal everything.Today is Saturday, a rare day when I am not Leo Wilson's wife or George Howard's assistant, I can be myself.It's been a long time since I've spent time on myself.I check household items in the rental house to find what is needed, look inside the empty fridge and decide to do some shopping in the supermarket.But just as I am about to leave the house, I receive a call from Cody Wilson."Flora Mana, are you free today? If you're free, come over for dinner tonight.""Cody Wilson, thank you for inviting me, but now that I've decided to divorce Leo Wilson, I'm afraid I'd better
(Leo Wilson's POV)In the afternoon, my father calls me and tells me to come back home later after supper.Because Flora Mana does not want to see me.I am surprised.Flora Mana, she doesn't want to see me?Over the past three years, she has contacted my assistant, Alva Waston, numerous times to see me, but Alva Waston always makes up an excuse for him.I never think that there will be a day when Flora Mana will not want to see me.But after seeing the wedding house, I want to see her for the first time.So I agree with my father and deliberately arrive home an hour late for supper.When I enter, I see that my father is drinking."Flora Mana still has you in her heart and I still don't want you to miss out like that, it's too bad," My father says.But I say, "If Flora Mana is really a good woman, then I should set her free."Because of my mother, it is impossible for me to love her.But this is a reason that I could not tell my father plainly.After all, as a man, I can understand him
(Flora Mana's POV)I am blocked in by Leo Wilson.I really don't know what to do anymore.I am beginning to regret what I have said earlier as Daisy Garcia, that I shouldn't have reminded him of how dedicated Flora Mana has been to running that marriage.My intention isn't to continue the marriage, I just... felt resentful about the results.Instead of resigned to the fact that my three year of hard work has gone unseen, I must let him know some of the most insignificant things about it.I am very firm about the divorce and also tells him that I don't want to see him.It is good that he doesn't want to keep pestering me either, so he chose to give up.But what I don't expect is Caitlyn Christian's coming along.She is the last person I want to see apart from Leo Wilson.Cody Wilson knows this too and used to keep us both out of the way as much as possible.I don't expect her to come at this crucial time tonight.Not only does she come, she even tries to break down the door and make me
