St. Benedict's Mental Hospital is a large two-story building located in the Agoura Hills area.

The building is in the middle of a very large field, which has been transformed into a beautiful and comfortable like city park.

I don't really know the history of St. Benedict's, but as far as I can remember, the mental hospital has received awards several times as the best mental health facility in the world.

"Ten years ago, this hospital was in financial trouble and almost closed," David said when we arrived. "However, my grandfather decided to invest secretly to save this hospital and handed over its management to my mother and her two cousins ​​from my grandmother's side. Since then, this hospital has been operating well until now."

"Hm? Why did your grandfather hand over its management to your mother and not your father?" I asked confusedly.

    She kept crying and I was worried that her health would be affected if she did this."Mom, please, don't cry anymore," I begged. The shirt I was wearing was already wet on the shoulders and chest from her tears. "You'll get sick."My mother lifted her face from my shoulder and looked at me with her swollen eyes. She was so thin and pale. My heart ached so much.She bowed to me when I entered her room. She knelt at my feet and held my feet while crying and saying "I'm sorry" over and over again.When I hugged her, she burst into tears, and so did I. We hugged each other while sitting on the hospital floor, until I coaxed her to stand up and we sat hugging on her bed."Will you forgive me, Loreine?" my mother asked in a hoarse voice from crying too much. "Will you forgive your evil mother?"I stroked her tangled hair and wiped away her tears that seemed like they couldn't stop flowing."I've forgiven you, Mom. I hope you forgive me for making you face everything alone," I said softly.M

    "Oh, they're so adorable," Wendy said. Her eyes sparkled and her hands moved, caressing the glass of the frame. "Very much like their father, but the smile is definitely yours, Ms. Loreine.""Umm, Wendy, could you just call me Loreine? You're older than me and I don't really like too much formality," I said, giving her a small smile to reassure her.Wendy's face lit up. "Of course, Loreine, I'd love to.""Sometime, you should bring your daughter to meet and play with the twins. They'll be so happy," I said as I handed her two sheets of paper that I had prepared earlier.Wendy took the paper and read it carefully. I saw her reading it over and over again while memorizing and marking some parts that she might think were important."Okay, Loreine, I understand and I'll try to do my best," Wendy said after a while. "But, please, tell me when I'm wrong or lacking in doing something.""Deal," I said, extending my hand.She took my hand with a big smile and I felt confident that my relations

    I was sitting on the toilet lid, in the far end cubicle of one of the busy Los Angeles airport toilets, with a one-way ticket to Italy and a test pack that showed two very bright red lines."D*mn," I moaned weakly.I've done nothing since I walked into this cubicle half an hour ago, other than cry and cry, as if my eyes were a leaking dam. So that no one would hear my crying, I stuffed the handkerchief into my mouth and bit it.I'm trying to strengthen myself to continue, after what I've experienced these last two tumultuous months.=Flashback, five weeks ago="Mom, have you seen Jared?""I saw him leaving with your father earlier," answered my mother, waving her hand outside. "I think your father felt the need to give advice to his future son-in-law before the event started. You know how possessive he is of you, right?"I just laughed and continued walking towards the park. I feel happiness and enthusiasm make my steps light.In an hour, my engagement ceremony with Jared will begi

    I looked at the four children standing beside Ms. Petra - the twins, one holding the hand of a scrawny child, the other holding a stocky child's hand, all tightly hugged by an angry-looking woman."Ms. Lauren," Petra said awkwardly, "I'm sorry if I caught you off guard by addressing you like that. The thing is, the twins and—""Your ill-mannered brats pushed my son!" The woman hugging the stocky child by Ms. Petra's side suddenly snapped. She gave my shirt and jeans a dismissive once-over, and I saw the disdain in her eyes."Ms. Lauren, I heard you're unmarried. If you weren't prepared to be a single mother, you should have demanded your partner use protection instead of letting them become a menace to society!"Although I was angry at her judging my kids without knowing what we've been through, the priority now was to get to the truth. I walked over and crouched down to the shame-faced Shane and Sherry by my side. They always acted mischievous at home, but I knew how much they loved

    A few days after the incident, I held a meeting with the new scriptwriters under my guidance. Despite my efforts to focus on the task at hand, the gossip among the team grew increasingly loud and distracting. It makes me annoyed."Guys, is there something that interests you more than what I'm about to explain to you?" I said in a cold voice. "Or... Would it be better if we postpone this meeting until you really make up your mind to study?"Some people looked a little embarrassed to hear my reprimand and quickly sat up straight in their chairs, trying to focus.However, I knew that in their heads, what had made them so noisy earlier was still spinning around in their brains."Alright, instead of listening to my explanation, but not having any material stick in your brains, tell me now, what made you so noisy?" I asked, finally.One of the scriptwriters, namely Maya, unable to contain her curiosity, approached me with a famous magazine in hand."Ms. Loreine, have you seen this?" she ask

    This morning, as the first rays of sunlight peeked through the curtains, I went through my usual routine.Despite all the thoughts, I had a pretty good sleep last night and woke up before my alarm went off. I felt fresh and my body was in good shape in the morning.I went into the bathroom and did my personal routine while thinking about what I needed to do today.After thatI walked out of the room, walking slowly so as not to wake my children. They would wake up in about an hour.I brewed a pot of coffee and slipped into my favorite chair by the window, my daily ritual of solitude before the chaos of the day began.The coffee I brewed was delicious, but there was something else that made me not really enjoy the aroma and taste of the coffee this morning.With a sigh, I went to front garden of my house dan gathered the courage to tackle the mailbox—a task I often avoided until the last possible moment.As I opened the small, metal door, a single envelope stood out among the usual pile

    David PoV"You always don't have time for me!"I stared at the woman in front of me, who was now pacing back and forth with a pouting face and her lips muttering incoherent grumbling. I had a headache and felt the need to get her out of here immediately before my patience, which was as thin as a tissue paper, ran out."Go away, Hailey, I really can't go today," I said in a tone that I deliberately made as flat as possible.I am a good actor.

A stingy boyfriend, a generous boss, a dutiful son, even a man who loves secretly, very well and fittingly.However, right now I am not acting.

    They entered a hotel in the suburbs. I got goosebumps and unconsciously squeezed David's hand that was holding mine, while his other hand was holding his phone to record.From getting out of the car to entering the elevator after registering at the reception, they didn't distance themselves at all.Jared's hand was always on the other man's waist. Sometimes the man leaned his head on Jared's shoulder, sniffed his neck, or kissed his cheek affectionately. Likewise, Jared would kiss the side of the man's head, squeeze his butt, or tidy up his hair."They're a couple," I murmured. "Those are things we often do together, right, honey? Because we're a couple, so we show it as a form of expression of affection."David stopped the recording after Jared and the man entered the elevator. He led me out of the hotel lobby and back to the car."So, Jared has another boyfriend besides my father," I said while looking at David with a raised eyebrow. "Love triangle?""Hm. That's for sure," David sai

    I walked around the building where I would be working with a sense of satisfaction. Just like what Lea said before I left, that all the facilities were available in this three-story building, even the cafeteria area.However, it turned out that I really had to organize everything from scratch. Starting from staff placement to job description arrangements. This was really a challenge for me.Just imagine, I am a scriptwriter, usually only working on scripts according to client requests, starting from concept scripts for television shows, soap operas, advertisements, or sometimes short films. I do my work simply with a laptop, mostly I do it at home, although sometimes I also come to the office to do some training for new writers, but not like this.This makes me have to deal with many people, staff and writers for sure. I also have to organize them so that office activities can run.Luckily Damian is with me. Even though his real function is a lawyer, for now, he also understands that

    "No, no, just call me Petra. I feel awkward, besides I'm not a teacher anymore. No need to be formal."I smiled at the twins' former teacher. The woman in front of me was now blushing and she looked awkward."You guys might be sisters-in-law soon," Lucas said with a laugh. He grabbed Petra's hand and squeezed it gently.Everyone in the room laughed and clapped. Abigail called the waiter and asked them to serve dessert immediately. A cheerful atmosphere filled the lunch room.I looked at everyone present at the dining table. Me, David, the twins, Lucas, Petra and Damian.

We may have only been three years apart in age, but our relationship felt like it was ten or even fifteen years apart.We rarely talked, in fact we rarely saw each other, even though we lived in the same house.Lucas, standing in front of me, stiff and clearly shocked. I, standing in front of Lucas, confused and worried.Ms. Petra touched Lucas' arm carefully, as if she was worried about startling the stunned man."Honey, do you... Know Ms. Lauren?" Ms. Petra asked softly.Lucas turned to her slowly. "Ms. Lauren?""Hm," Ms. Petra nodded. "Didn't I say I would take you to meet Ms. Lauren Lou? She helped me out on my way here because Damian still had some things to take care of in Italy. Damian also happens to be Ms. Lauren's work partner and the twins, are her children, who are also my students, and Mr. David, is Ms. Lauren's husband."We locked eyes again and my hands were about to reach out, but Lucas was faster, scooping me into his arms.

    "So that's it," I said, after hearing everything Liam and Jared said, which I heard from the recording David took after meeting Liam at the Destiny club."How ridiculous," I said again, feeling sad. "I always felt proud to be born as a Hart. We were very rich and well-known, I had everything that other girls my age dreamed of, easily. I loved by everyone, spoiled, and always obeyed. However, as I grew up, I began to realize that there were many things that were actually inappropriate that my family did."I took David's hand and held it tightly. He smiled and patted the back of my hand gently then kissed the palm of my hand gently."I started to compare. Hart, Reiner, and Arshen, because it just so happened that these were the only three families I knew the most closely. There was a lot of goodness in Hart and Reiner, but only in Arshen I saw hard work and honesty. Regardless of whatever your father did to your mother, the men in the Arshen family were honest and hard workers," I said

So, I doubled his salary and he's happy to do his job."It's been a long time since I've seen Mr. Liam come by," Jack said as he handed me a bottle of champagne that I had ordered earlier. "He's been in a few times and asked about you, talking about how hard you are to get a hold of."I laughed. "I've been with him my whole life, he's like my conjoined twin."Jack laughed out loud at my joke.
