Addison’s POVThanks to Shofia's help, I managed to get a room together with Dad. I owe a lot to Shofia for always getting her help so quickly.We're currently in the hospital garden, getting some fresh air. It's not for nothing that we're here. I wanted to have an important talk with Shofia freely so that Dad wouldn't hear it. I also told Shofia to hide the fact that I was sick from Father. I didn't want you to know about it because you'd probably be shocked if you found out. And I don't want to make you sad."But, Addison... I think your father needs to know." As usual, Shofia was a very caring person and didn't want to hide the fact about my illness. She always tried to let the people closest to me know what was happening to me. I appreciated it, but I wasn't ready to tell him. Even Damon, I didn't want him to know. I was a little disappointed when she learned what happened to me."Come on, Shof, Dad just woke up from his coma after a long time. I didn't want him to hear the bad ne
Damon’s POVJared and I were discussing the information about the time that happened to my mother and Addison's father. Then, I noticed a paper with two names written on it that Addison had given me. Those two names might be related to my mom's past problems.I'm not sure about all this. There are two men's names that Addison gave me besides her father's name, even though previous evidence showed that Addison's father was exactly the culprit. But why is everything different? Addison even mentioned that her father was completely innocent of the incident.And, what makes me wonder is why the information Addison got is so much different from the information I have. Where exactly did she get all that information from? I was too proud to ask her because I thought I could get other information alone. It's like she said that I can do anything with money and power."All the searches, we have to go back and dig deep. I want you to find out these two names." I handed the paper containing two na
Damon’s POVMy cell phone is still vibrating, indicating that the call from Cora is still ongoing. I deliberately put the ringtone on silent to make it less annoying. I knew she would be angry because I ignored her phone call. For now, I don't want to talk or meet her just yet, considering the many problems I'm facing. I don't care if she gets mad at me.I exhaled as soon as my phone stopped vibrating, indicating that the call had ended. Maybe later I'll meet her and explain as usual that I'm busy with work. In my opinion, Cora is very easy to persuade. Just give her sweet words and seduction, and she will melt back very easily. It's even easier if I send her money for shopping. She'll melt down easily.I was still waiting to hear from Jared about the informant we were working with. I can't wait to find out what news I'll hear from them. Is it the same as what Addison said or not? I don't know which one to believe. Addison or my informant, who I paid a lot of money for.Suddenly, ther
Cora’s POVAfter getting my allowance from Damon, I chose to have fun by buying whatever I liked. Damon never messes around with money, he's very generous, and I'm pleased about that. I've bought some clothes, shoes, and my make-up kit.No one can stop me from doing whatever I want. I don't think Damon would be mad if he knew I was spending his money. He's a nice guy who understands how I am. This is what he always does when I'm sulking at him. Even he's terrified of me getting mad at him.Now, I enter the umpteenth women's clothing store. I looked for something I wanted and couldn't find it in any other store. The store clerk walked me to the aisle where the items I was looking for were. Then we arrived at the clothing rack, where exquisite lingerie lined up and spoiled the eyes."Please, Miss.""Thank you." I touched a very pretty pink lingerie, and I think the model is bold. I haven't slept with Damon in a long time. I didn't know if he and Addison were sleeping together again, so
Cora’s POVI was reminiscing when I had just returned from overseas after taking treatment. In the beginning, I felt very insecure and had very low self-esteem. I thought I had a bad life after breaking up with Damon and getting into a relationship with a man I thought was more everything than Damon. In fact, I was wrong.When I was in the city center, I accidentally bumped into Damon. It seemed like I was walking daydreaming, so I accidentally bumped into someone who turned out to be Damon. I was surprised by that.I felt that my feelings were rekindled when I met him, even though I already knew about his marriage to another woman. At that time, I could see Damon's face, which was more handsome and more mature than before when we separated.In my heart, there was a glimmer of hope that we could get back together. But a second later, I pushed that thought away because I knew Damon was married. We looked at each other and didn't say anything. I could feel Damon's hand holding my waist,
Addison’s POVI was currently with my father in the hospital, helping to feed him and peel fruit. Dad still had to undergo more treatment because his condition wasn't stable yet. Meanwhile, I was already a little better from the accident, so I was allowed to go home."Is everything okay, Addison? What happened while you were in the hospital?"I smiled before replying to his question. "Everything is fine, Dad. I'm just worried about how you're doing, and I hope you wake up soon."I deliberately didn't tell you my true situation, even though my life has been hard with what Damon did to me. I also told him about my relationship with Damon, which was going well. And, hadn't dared to ask about the problems that had occurred in the past between Father and Mrs. Saunders."Damon is a very good man. I'm glad that you've been living together with Damon. I remember when you were growing up together, Damon was attentive to you. Damon always considered you his brother since he doesn't have one. Yo
Addison’s POVWhile we were talking, the nurse came into my father's room and said that my father had to have a routine check-up and after that, he had to rest. Damon and I had to leave Dad's room and let the nurse check on Dad's condition."I'll come back tomorrow, Dad," I said as I hugged him.Dad nodded and smiled at me. Then I walked out of his hospital room with Damon following me. When we were outside the room, Damon suddenly held my hand as I was about to leave. I looked at him sharply."I'll come with you."My forehead scrunched up at his words. "Where are you going?" I asked in surprise."Of course you'll see your friend the doctor ask about your illness, right?"I pushed his hand away from me. "Just act normally and don't care about me. "You don't need to know what I'm going to do. I can take care of myself."Damon didn't seem to hear me. "I didn't know you were sick. I thought you were just pretending."I let out a short breath. "You never care because you only think about
Addison’s POVI've been living my days a little more calmly ever since my father woke up from his coma. Moreover, the father's health is slowly improving and experiencing significant changes. The doctor said that Father still had to undergo special treatment to recover fully. That means Father will be as healthy as ever.Afterward, I prepared myself to undergo the first chemotherapy that I had during my time with cancer. Damon doesn't know anything about all this. I didn't see him again after our conversation in front of Dad's room the other day. I didn't care about him at all because from now on, I would focus more on my and Dad's recovery.Shofia explained to me what I needed to do before chemotherapy. First, I have to prepare myself mentally, which I've been doing since a few days ago. Shofia said that I shouldn't think about things that would cause prolonged stress and I shouldn't get sick. My body must be strong. Secondly, I have to eat lots of nutritious food. Doing oral and den
