Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 17
For Sophie, Tina was willing to go above and beyond, consequences be damned.On the other hand, her father would rather roll out the red carpet for another woman just to marry her.As such, Henry's nonchalance really crushed her hopes.If Sophie couldn't rest in peace because of this…"Shut up!"Henry's visage was cold as steel as he bellowed, "You really can say anything just to marry me, huh?! Sophie is your daughter—and you call yourself her mother, cursing her like that?!""And you call yourself her father?! You're the one who's the problem here! Sophie is dead! My Sophie… She's really dead!"And with that, Tina broke down into sobs, her tears rolling like a string of broken pearls.Even though it had been over a month, her daughter's tragic death still hurt her deeply.Henry bellowed, "That's enough! If you breathe another word—"Suddenly, his outburst stopped, and his words kept stuck in his throat.Even as he stared at her tear-drenched face, his heart sank and he sta
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 18
Though Linda's eyes welled up with tears and clearly appeared guilty, Henry scowled.He didn't stop to comfort her, instead growling, "Did you see who was with Sophie?"He was worried that it was a human trafficker—those monsters were really relentless these days."It was a middle-aged woman," Linda replied, her tone uncertain. "She looked like a babysitter, and Sophie was clinging to her happily…""Where did they go?" Henry pressed."There," Linda pointed without hesitation.Henry broke into a run right then—there weren't that many people over there, and he could catch up if he hurried!However, he barely made a few steps when Linda gasped in pain behind her, "Ah!"He promptly paused and turned to see that Linda was hurt—her gown was rolled up just enough to show a gruesome cut on her knee, which was bleeding freely.Henry hurried back to her, helping her up even as she did her best to push herself up.As soon as Linda was on her feet, she pushed Henry while exclaiming anxio
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 19
With those words, Henry strode off with Linda in his arms, while Tina leaned on her car, sliding down and buried her head between her legs.She had held a shred of hope even as she returned.Sophie was dead—there was no way Henry could have found her even if she rushed back.With that, he just might believe her and return her rightful victory in the tournament.However, that attitude from him clearly meant there was no hope of turning things around.A hundred grand was worth nothing to the rich, but the average person would never accumulate so much money in such a short period of time.What could she do for her darling Sophie now?-It took a long while for Tina to compose herself and headed into Skymex Tower to get her makeup done.In the hall, the emcee proceeded with the formalities, while Tina and the other contestants waited backstage for the results to be announced.Linda sat at the forefront, dressed in a gown of a famous brand's spring season.She was basically premi

The hall was left abuzz with excitement. Everyone knew Henry had a wife and daughter, as the man was always scandal-free.Since this was the first time he showed intimacy with a woman in public, and considering Linda's gown, everyone wondered if Linda was the rumored Mrs. Barnes."You don't say," someone mused out loud just then. "Looking at them from the back, they looked just like the couple who rented out the whole of Wonderland for their daughter's birthday."Those words reminded Tina the day her darling Sophie was cremated, and her eyes were cold even as she stared at Henry.That was when the emcee announced, "Let's hear a round of applause for Mr. John Levine, CEO of Levine Inc.!"The crowd was once again abuzz at the mention of John Levine's name. The Levine family's legacy had stood for over a century in Jadelight, and John was head of their family in this generation.Amongst all the other prestigious families in the city, he and Henry were the most outstanding indivi

Even as Emma spoke, she glanced at Tina, and there was no hiding the admiration in her eyes.After all, she loved Tina's work for the competition—in her mind, Tina was first place.Pausing for a moment, she then announced, "As the first and second runner-up of this competition have proved their outstanding skills, the executives of the Continental had a discussion, and decided to induct them as interns as well.""It's our hope that all three winners will keep striving to do their best. May we all be graced with even more impressive work than the sublime pieces we've already had the pleasure to feast our eyes on tonight!"The hall was once again abuzz with excitement—it was the dream of any jewelry designer to get a job at the Continental!Naturally, it was Tina's dream too, so she could hardly believe what she was hearing."Really?! That's wonderful!"Still, Yvonne's joyful exclamation and Linda's ashened face were very much proof that it was true—that this was very real!And e

John and Tina arrived at a restaurant, and he pulled the chair out for her."Thank you," Tina smiled as she sat. People often said that John was as civilized as he was gentlemanly, and the praise was certainly deserved.Still, as John took his seat and after they ordered food, neither of them spoke.Tina waited for John to start discussing her work, but the man was simply staring at her.Though his gaze was tender and didn't invoke disgust, being stared like that still left Tina slightly uncomfortable.Eventually, she frowned slightly, meeting his gaze as her expression turned a little cold.Could he be just messing with her? Perhaps the rumors were just exaggerated, and he was just a rich playboy like any other?But even as her suspicions gnawed, John calmly spoke in his deep, magnetic voice, "You really don't remember me?""Huh?"Tina did a double take, staring at John blankly.What was that supposed to mean? Were they actually acquainted?Still, John smiled as he presse

Tina raised her foot right then, kicking Henry viciously on the shin!Thud!Caught off guard, Henry gasped in pain and stumbled backward.At the same time, Tina shoved him, sending him stumbling and dropping on the toilet, while she quickly opened the door and fled.As Henry followed out of the cubicle, he paused at the doorway, glaring as Tina left like a hunter glaring after his prey…Like he could skin her and eat her right then!However, no one noticed Linda standing behind a potted plant, her knuckles clenched.Be it five years ago or now, everyone knew that Henry loved her, spoiling her endlessly…Even so, that man never looked at her like that!-By the time Tina made it back to the table, the food was already served.John didn't start without her, however, so she apologized, "Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Levine.""It's alright," John replied, his gaze lingered on her swelling red lips just a second before turning away.Tina started eating, keeping her head lowere

Tina's slap came so quickly that it caught Linda' off guard, launching her face sideways.Since Henry wasn't around, her face contorted viciously right then.But even as she raised her hand, Tina caught her before she could slap her back and shoved her forcefully away."Linda Cook," she warned coolly. "If you have the time to come after me, you should instead put a leash around Henry Barnes and stop him from chasing me around!"And with those words, she turned to leave.-After finishing her paperwork to get discharged, Tina headed to the elevator.As she passed the nurse station, two nurses were gossiping quietly, as one of them had witnessed Tina's confrontation with Linda and came to tell the other nurse."Urgh, and here I was wondering why that bitch was so cold," she sighed. "So they were after the same man.""What are you talking about?" her colleague asked half-heartedly, busy cleaning her table."Don't you remember Sophie? That sweet, pretty little girl."Tina stoppe

It was a line that reminded Henry of that moment five years ago, and he nodded. "Yeah. I told you I'd never let you get hurt again, Linda."The single line offered Linda assurance, and she threw herself into Henry's arms."Henry…" She sobbed endlessly, at once hysterical and miserable. "You came for me!"Pained, Henry pursed his lips and scooped her up in his arms. "It's alright. I'm taking you home right now.""Yeah," Linda murmured, hugging his neck and pressing her cheek against his chest, shuddering endlessly.She seemed horrified, refusing to leave his embrace.And that was how Henry carried her to his car, quietly telling the chauffeur to head to Rose Garden.It was almost ten when they arrived.As Henry carried Linda inside as well, the maid heard them and came out.Bowing respectfully at the two when she saw them, she said, "Mr. Barnes, Ms. Cook. Rory's asleep.""Good," Henry replied quietly and leaned down to tell Linda tenderly, "We're home, Linda."Linda did not s

Seeing that Henry was stopping to listen, the man's eyes lit up with hope, and he quickly said, "It's the truth, Mr. Barnes—I'm not lying! She really came on to us!"That woman's acting was just too good.If they had not personally been there, even they would have doubted that the same person who came on to them was also the same person who had accused them!"It's the truth, Mr. Barnes!" the other man promptly echoed, his tone earnest as he tried to convince Henry.Regret was twisting their insides to a bunch too, as they did not have evidence—if they did, they would have shown it!They had been feeling gleeful earlier that they were doing it in a place without cameras.And now, they could not even defend themselves!Henry looked at them then.He could see that they were just stopping short of swearing it was the truth, and there was no hint of guilt in their eyes as they looked at him in turn."No!!! Get away from me!!! Please don't touch me!!! Henry!!! Henry!!!"But even as

Henry's eyes were on Tina even as he held his cigarette and answered the phone.Tina ignored him as he had clearly mentioned Linda's name to screw with her, but just as she got up, Henry's face dropped.He dropped his cigarette on her too, and she flinched in pain, losing her balance and falling again.However, Henry was busy assuring Linda endlessly as she screamed in terror on the other end. "Calm down! I'm coming right now—I'll save you! It's alright!"He did not hang up as he continued offering words of comfort, completely ignoring Tina as if she was never there.As soon as he returned to his car, he floored the gas pedal, disappearing into the night."Henry Barnes!" Tina yelled just as she got up, but her voice was drowned out by the roaring engine, and she was left standing as she watched Henry's car disappear from sight.A cold breeze blew just then, and the rustle of leaves echoed on both sides of the road.As Tina shuddered, she picked up her bag from the ground and to

John answered Tina's call almost instantly, his melodious voice asking, "Tina?""John, can you—"For her part, Tina was ready to cut straight to the chase as soon as John answered, but a large hand snatched her phone from behind before she could finish and cut off the call right away."Henry Barnes!" Tina bellowed, but he was so quick she only realized her phone had been snatched after the fact.Glowering, she promptly reached for it, but Henry simply held it over his head.There was already an eight-inch difference in their height, and with him raising his hand, Tina could not reach her phone no matter how she strained herself.Furious, she stomped her stiletto heel into his foot as hard as she could."Oof!" Henry gasped in pain and leveled a cold glare at her as he growled, "You're killing your husband!""Go to hell!" Tina spat.He had not married her for five years, and he was now calling himself her husband?!Dream on!Even as Henry buckled from the pain, Tina glowered a

Hearing that Henry was offering to make amends only reminded Tina that Linda had murdered her daughter.Tears welled up in her eyes, but she bit down to fight back the pain in her heart.Her darling Sophie had wanted this so much, but she was dead now.It was all too late—Henry's amends were pointless."Make it up to Sophie?" She scoffed in disdain even as she fought back her tears. "With what?"Henry presumed that her harshness was from all the grievances she had suffered in the past five years, and that it was only temporary, so he played along. "What would you like? Just say the word, and I'll give it to you."However, he did not offer to marry Tina.After all, she had always known her place and understood that Linda was the one he wanted to marry.It was a promise when Linda had saved him when she was six, and since then, Linda was the only one who could be his wife.Nonetheless, as Tina held Henry's gaze, she spoke with an icy tone that chilled the bone. "If I say I want

Tina's expression was icy and her tone cold. "I have nothing to say to you."She opened the door, but just as her foot touched the ground, Henry grabbed her wrist and pulled her back inside, then shut the door again."Henry Barnes!!!" Tina bellowed.Click!At the same time, the car was locked.Tina's eyes flashed in rage as she smacked Henry's hand away. "Do you have trouble understanding words?! I said there's nothing to talk about! Open the door—I'm getting off!"However, even as Tina's tone turned cold, Henry spotted a familiar figure in the rearview mirror.It was John Levine. His pretty brow creased—that man really showed up everywhere!Even as John turned toward his car, Henry floored the gas pedal and sped off.Caught off guard, Tina fell backward but did not hit anything this time, as a large hand shielded her.Tina was gasping, still in shock even as she reclined against the seat.Breathing a long sigh and holding back the expletives on the tip of her tongue, she

"Are you ever going to stop?!" Henry bellowed as he flung Irene aside, glowering as he whipped out his phone and called Andy. "Get up here. You're taking Irene to the cops."Irene's eyes widened in shock, while Tina turned away, picking up her phone from the tea table and turning to leave.She had achieved what she had set out to do, and she was not in the mood for Linda's innocent act.As she strode out, Irene was howling hysterically, "You're taking me to the cops?! Just because I hit Linda?!"Henry never answered, but that much was obvious.Irene had hurt his beloved woman as he watched—forget a cousin, as he would even hurt his own biological sister if he had one.Tina smirked as she left without looking back.She stood at the entrance, ready to hail a cab since she did not drive here.Several men stopped out just then as well.Their eyes lit up right then, as she was ridiculously pretty even without makeup.And seeing that she was alone, they hurried toward her. "Hey, be

Tina suddenly strode past Henry and Linda and up to Irene, the culprit who had set her up five years ago, as she slapped Irene across the face.She really did not think that Irene was already that vile five years ago!Irene naturally wanted to fight back but felt Henry's glare on her and did not even dare to move, allowing Tina to keep going, slapping her repeatedly across the cheek.Tina only stopped after her slaps left Irene's face swollen, and she felt like she had expressed the spite that was accumulating inside for what Irene had done five years ago.Then, just as Tina was about to stop, Linda suddenly rushed up, shielding Irene. "That's enough, Tina! Stop! She kept it a secret because of me—blame me if you want! Don't hurt Irene anymore!"However, now that Irene had seen Linda's true colors, she did not feel grateful despite Linda's protection.She had really been stupid in the past—in fact, Linda had only come to her protection only when Tina was done! This so-called prot

In fact, Tina was not even looking at Henry, as her eyes were locked on Irene.As for Linda, she had been on edge when Irene started spilling the beans, not expecting Irene to talk about what had happened five years ago.Her heart could stop when Irene confessed that she knew that Tina did not drug Henry.But while she thought that Irene knew she was the one who had drugged Henry, Irene finished her story, affording her a sigh of relief.-Five years ago, Henry was passionately in love with Linda, and was there any couple who never made love in that state?And yet, Henry never laid a finger on her.Linda had openly and suggestively tried to seal the deal, but nothing worked.Therefore, on their anniversary, she had someone drug Henry and offer herself as the antidote when the time was right.Even if they did it then, it would not affect Henry's opinion of her at all.With her elaborate scheme in place, she simply waited for Henry until he reached his room, so that she could c
