I was just looking at him straight into the eyes, like I'm not afraid that he won't catch me just lying. "I'm leaving to go back to Aud. Her doctor told me she's ready to be discharged now." "I'll take you home-" "Don't waste your energy, Hen. We will not return to you. We're going home... to our new home.” "With whom? With Liam?” "Come on, stop thinking he's a threat to you. With the two of you... my daughter and I will have no one to go with. If this seemed to be a battle, there was no winner. There is no defeat either.” I fixed the stethoscope hanging around his neck. "That's why it's like having mercy, Henrix... don't bother me and my daughter anymore. Please?" "Even to visit you?" "If I'm in Maui's position... I'm pregnant and you're going to marry me, I wouldn't like it if the person I'm going to marry is still visiting his ex-wife and his children here. Because there might not even be a wedding taking place, you will be destroyed immediately because of jealousy." "But M

"Eat that quickly, Aud. You're getting late for school-” A rang from the door stopped me from talking. "Make sure to finish your meal, huh? I'll just see who it is." I went to the door of my condo to open the first visitor of the day—and to my surprise, it's Henrix… Holding a small paper bag. His lab coat was hanging from his elbow and he dressed like he's off to work but dropped by my place for something… to pass a paper bag? "What are you doing here? How did you know we were staying here?” "Because I trust my instinct, Kris," he replied confidently. "During your workaholic days in Aether, you used to live separately from us and you just moved to a condo because its location is close to Aether. I presumed you're going back here… and it looks like I wasn't wrong.” He handed the paper bag over to me then. “Here is Audrey's snack for today. I remembered that today is Friday. And, uhm… you remember I was assigned today to prepare her snacks?” "MWF," he added, quite hesitant to give

"I thought you were fixing it? Why does it seem to get worse?!” I couldn't stop myself from reacting so annoyed after hearing the news. "If you are doing something to clear my name, why did it reach the media?!" "As I said, it looks like it's planned by people who want to destroy you. And that's beyond my control, Gwen. Because I don't have anyone to help fix it but myself-" "Well, what's the board, Rocco? Just wind? Display?! Have they done something that could help this issue vanish immediately?” "Nothing." Right in front of me, Rocco was also frustrated as he placed both of his hands to his temples. “I'm not receiving any help from them. That's why I'm having a hard time coming up with a strategy-” "We could offer you help, Gwen," I heard someone talking behind me... someone who just arrived inside Rocco's office. "And in return, I don't want money." I turned around to see who the pest was who didn't even know how to knock before entering. “Oh, Jessica… you're still alive? I t

"Where are you taking me? Why don't you want to talk? Don’t you have a mouth?!" I asked, irritated when a strange man suddenly picked me up and put me in his black car. "You must be Lucile's staff-" "I'm not affiliated with that woman." "You're talking, I wish you had opened your mouth earlier!" The man driving didn't budge despite my yelling at him. If he was someone else, he would have thrown me out of the way. "So, where are you taking me?!" "Hospital-" "In the hospital?! Do I look sick-" "My grandmother wants to see and talk to you." I finally earned his interest to glance at my beauty. "So, don't say anything else. Save your voice for later." The guy left my mind hanging in the air. First question in my mind is, why does his grandmother have to see and talk to me? Do I look like a doctor? And by the way... who is this man's grandmother? What is my connection with their family? I was not friendly before. As my thoughts wiggled, I just woke up to the fact that we had arri
Vengeance of the Battered CHAPTER 74
When I got home to the condo, there were familiar shoes I saw outside. I know those shoes are owned by Henrix, so I immediately peeked inside... and I found the living room where Henrix and Audrey were lying on the sofa bed. They are both asleep. Audrey's head rested on Hen's arm and her foot rested on his body. So, to not be a KJ if I wake up Henrix just to send him out of the house, Audrey might wake up too. It looks like he and Audrey did a lot of homework while I saw they had a lot of ballpoint pens, notebooks and some books scattered around the living room. So, instead of disturbing their peaceful sleep, I just kept quiet while putting away some of the clutter that looked like they had been sleeping. While cleaning the area, I find myself smiling while I couldn't stop myself glancing at the figures I'd love to see every time I open my eyes. Audrey is much closer to her daddy than me. Hen always helps her with her homework despite becoming busy in the hospital. My daughter is als
Vengeance of the Battered CHAPTER 75
I've searched in the places where I know Lucile stays but I haven't seen any trace of her shadow at all. The windows and doors of her house are closed. In her favorite bar that she goes to, she is not there either. Even in her favorite hair salon, I don't see any traces of her. I can only think of one place she could go—to her mother’s place who is also a demon. So, on the way to Imelda's restaurant I ruined would be my destination. I would also like to know how her restaurant is doing, and whether people are still crowding it despite cleaning up the name after they accused me of the issue. And as I arrived at the place, I saw a lot of improvement than the last time I went here. The first time I went to this place, the name of the restaurant was just on a tarpaulin and then it was just hanging on a tree. But the change happened here, they now use billboards. On the side where the restaurant is located, there is a big billboard and the restaurant name is displayed there. "I guess it'

When half of the paper was burning, I turned off the flame. I handed it to Imelda with a mixed peace sign to tease her even more. Because she was able to make my head so hot with what she did to tease me earlier, I made her feel what it feels like to be teased. "If you can return this paper to the way it was before, go. But if you really can't find a way, maybe you should start begging a hundred thousand pesos from people, so that you can collect the hundred thousand you owe to the person who’s now chasing you. " I felt it in my pocket and took out a coin. "I am your number one donor." I put it in her hand before I left her restaurant that she made beautifully... but I assumed after my arrival, she will regret spending a lot rather than thinking about paying off a loan to the person who she has debt to pay. The moment that happened today is one of the most satisfying moments I have ever had. Since the very first day I became part of their family after marrying Liam Soriano, I didn'

"I was looking for you all over the world. You're just here," I said to the bartender at the counter and told the girl even from behind, I already knew her. "Is this where Ivan always takes you?" "Not by Ivan... but by my longtime boyfriend." She faced me and even offered me the glass she was holding, but I refused. Later there is a sleeping pill mixed in. "You, I didn't expect you to be an empty bar now that you're jobless." "For just a month." I just asked the bartender for water instead of alcohol. If Lucile is the only one I can drink with, nah… forget it. It would end up surely boring. "I really would have to thank Jessica for directing me here. Finally, I found you." "Do you need something? Or just want to apologize again?" "Is there something I need to apologize for?" I shook the water in the glass. It's like what arrogant CEOs do on TV. The only difference is that the wine in their wine glass is red wine, mine is just water. "If you're concerned about ruining the weddin
