"Am I that easy for you that I often have to be the one to get hurt by you...Am I that easy? Hmm, do you want us to just give up this time?" Valerie looked into Arthur's eyes although, her eyes were still blocked by tears that made her vision feel blurry. "Should we just give up? I don't want to regret it and be regretted by you...If a middle way can make us part without hurting each other let's do it." Valerie placed a hand on Arthur's cheek as her tears continued to fall like a relentless rivulet. Not only was she crying but Arthur was also crying silently. "Please forgive me, Valerie. I don't want our relationship to end, don't we have dreams of a happy little exit? Believe me, I'm trapped, I can't do that when my head and heart are filled with only you." Arthur clasped Valerie's hands together as he ignored the tears that kept falling down his face. Arthur was the weakest man when it came to separation especially when it came to Valerie. "It's not just about forgiveness, I want
Arthur can no longer contain his anger. what he thought all this time was the truth that it was his father Xander who was behind his mother's death, Xander had the heart to make plans to kill his mother. Everything was just revealed when Arthur found an irregularity in the ownership of Camille's property which was transferred to Xander's name even when his mother Camille was still alive. what made Arthur even sick of Xander's rottenness was that it was not only one woman who became Xander's mistress while still with his mother. even the owner of the embroidery house where Xander hired a rotten woman to trap him. As it turned out, the owner was also Xander's father's mistress. ''It's a pity that I've been raised by a demon-hearted father. ''Arthur hit his desk his eyes implied anger that he could no longer contain. he certainly wouldn't let Xander live in peace. Xander had to pay for what he had done in his past and take responsibility for everything before death took him. Arthur wo
The elevator doors opened and the employees immediately looked down as Valerie and Arthur exited the elevator. Arthur was used to being indifferent while Valerie still felt bad. But suddenly Arthur was hit on the corner of his lip and bled. Valerie was surprised to see Xander, Arthur's father, arrive at the company in a messy suit. "You ungrateful son of a bitch!!! Do you realize what you're doing to me? "Arthur raised one eyebrow when he saw Xander standing in front of him shamelessly. If Xander wasn't his father Arthur would have punched Xander back in the face just like what he had just received. But, for the sake of playing clean let the law decide just count Xander also committed an offense for hitting Arthur. "You should be the one looking in the mirror Mr. Xander!!! Haha, soon you'll be rotting in jail. "Arthur approached Xander they were standing very close Arthur saw very clearly the flash of anger that appeared in Xander's eyes the man's hand raised to slap Arthur. But
''Why did you leave? Ahh I mean why did you have to leave so soon? ''Marcel didn't know what was wrong with him as if he didn't want to let Rachel go. ''Because my business is done here, Marcel. ''Rachel was also at a loss for an answer because it was true that she had come to France just to meet Arthur the man she was set up with. But, since the match had been canceled there was nothing to keep her here. It was possible that when she returned she would again be set up with another man because Rachel's life only revolved around the match that would bring good luck to her parents' company that was about to go bankrupt. ''I know your arranged marriage is canceled, but can't you stay here a little longer?Rachel looked at Marcel's face. She did not know why Marcel's words sounded strange. Was Rachel allowed to hope after hearing Marcel's words that seemed to not want Rachel to leave? "But, I have no reason why I should stay here any longer. '' Was Rachel allowed to hope that Marcel wo
"Where is Sir?" Valerie asked Ruby anxiously. She was eager to see Arthur's face now even though, in a few hours she would officially become Arthur's wife. "Sir is in the room next to you miss. Would you like me to call him?" Valerie shook her head as she refrained from seeing Arthur now. The door to Valerie's room was knocked. Ruby who was by Valerie's side moved to open the door. Valerie who was originally busy fixing her wedding dress saw the collar reflection of a man she recognized from a vanity mirror in front of her. "Marcel." Valerie's lips parted at the mention of Marcel's name. Valerie turned her body to face Marcel who approached her slowly. "You are so beautiful, Valerie." Marcel complimented Valerie's beauty which looked multiplied by the white dress she wore today. "Thank you, Marcel." Valerie was acting casual because there was no longer anything about Marcel in her life all that was intertwined now was purely knowing Marcel as her brother Arthur. "I wa
Valerie rubbed her belly which was already very enlarged her eyes never left Arthur who was focused on working in front of her. For some reason Valerie liked seeing Arthur working rather than the man relaxing by her side, her first pregnancy was very strange she didn't even look like a pregnant woman because, indeed she didn't experience any strange requests only one thing that changed from Valerie she couldn't smell coffee let alone drink it. Just imagining it makes Valerie want to vomit. She doesn't know what's happening to her, maybe it's because she's pregnant and of course, it torments Valerie who is not used to a day away from coffee but, after entering 9 months she no longer touches it and maybe Valerie almost forgot how her favorite coffee tastes. ''ahhhh I'm bored. ''Valerie exhaled harshly to sensitize Arthur to her. ''Honey do you want to eat something? Or do you want to rest...I'll carry you if you're really tired. ''Arthur immediately put down the file in his hand and
"Daddy, why are you so sad? "Marcel turned his head and looked at Pricilla's face who was watching him. "Nope, Daddy okay don't worry." Marcel rubbed the sand on Pricilla's cheek. At the moment they are in Hawaii enjoying vacation time together. and suddenly Marcel remembered about Rachel the woman who never again appeared in Marcel's life Rachel lost her share in the earth. I don't know at this time how Rachel is doing right now Marcel won't know but, he still hopes that god can bring them back together at least once.***''Daddy, come here!" His daughter, Pricill, called Marcel over. Marcel got up from his seat and brushed the sand off his clothes. Marcel walked slowly, approaching his daughter, who was only a few steps away from him. ''Look Daddy.'' Pricill pointed to the writing on the sand. Marcel immediately turned his gaze to the writing under his feet, his eyes slightly wide open at the name Pricill had written on the sand. How could Pricill not write her mother's name
"Are you sure you didn't get the wrong name?" Rachel received the orange box from a famous brand. Rachel's hand turned the box until she finally opened it and again still tried to find where the letter was that could let her know who sent it to her. Because she was sure a stranger couldn't send this expensive object worth tens of millions. But after looking outside and inside the bag, Rachel did not find out who the owner was. Rachel took out her cell phone and searched for her father's number. Rachel never called her father if it wasn't for an important matter. The relationship between son and father had not been close for a long time; moreover, her father was still disappointed because of the failure of his match, which had been impossible for Rachel from the beginning. ''hello. '' Rachel swallowed her saliva with difficulty. Her father's voice was heard again after three months of no communication between them. Rachel missed her father, but her tongue was too loose to say
"Daddy prill ready!" Pricil immediately ran to her father who was also getting ready in more casual clothes. Their plan for this weekend was to go to Arthur and Valerie's house. their relationship was getting better and better. since Valerie was among them, Arthur and Marcel often contacted each other and there were no more arguments and small things to fuss about. In time they will be happy in their way as today they are also planning a picnic together. "What a beautiful daughter daddy has." Marcel lowered his head to match her height and Pricilla grabbed the body that could be said to be no longer small. But Marcel had no problem carrying Pricilla's body even though she had grown into a mature woman. "Come on Daddy, I can't wait to meet Aunty Valerie." Pricilla placed both hands on her father's cheeks and gave Marcel a small peck on the lips. "Okay Go..Go." Marcel picked up Pricilla's small bag where a snack had been prepared for Pricilla on the way. Marcel got into hi
Rachel wiped her tears, today was already the seventh day she was in this damn room. Rachel was moved into a room that she thought was inhumane not in every room an iron trellis was installed for whatever purpose Rachel could not see anything out there other than a dark room. In the evening, and only illuminated by lights at night there is no sign of life here for Rachel what does it mean to live? For Rachel her soul was dead but her body was not buried. Even more disgusting for Rachel, just to take a shower, Mark sent people to watch over her like she was a real animal. Rachel stares at the reflection of her face which is so similar to the blue wounds turning purple some are missing and some are new. Not only that, Rachel even had a sharp object cut on her thigh. And a cut on her ribs made by a razor blade with a string of words that Rachel didn't know what they meant. "How sad your life is, Rachel....what did you do wrong to God that you have to take all this punishment."
Mark put his shirt back on and walked to the window to get the remote and open the automatic blinds. The sky was clear today but Mark wasn't going to the office today, not because of Rachel but because Mark had woken up late and Mark was waiting for his doll to wake up and receive Mark's torture again. Mark turns his body to stare at Rachel from a considerable distance now from his bed. Mark is thinking how long will Rachel pretend to be asleep? Mark knows that she is already awake in his arms. it's just that, Mark is still too lazy to just serve Rachel he continues his sleep. And now Mark was getting impatient waiting for Rachel's charade to end. "You're awake, aren't you? Stop the charade I'm sick of it!!!" Mark raised his voice deliberately to make Rachel open her eyes. Mark walked back towards Rachel who was still faithfully closing her eyes. Mark could barely bear not to touch Rachel as his hand gripped Rachel's chin and the woman finally opened her eyes. Mark approach
Mark tried to open his eyes again and the boy's face was no longer there. He walked to the bedside table looking for some pills that he kept in two bottles. Mark's hand immediately took the two pills and swallowed them with a glass of water that was always on the nightstand. It had been a long time since he took the medicine the psychiatrist gave him but today he had to take it to quell all his anger. Mark pulled the blanket that was on his bed and his hand picked up a pillow bringing it into a room not far from him. It was none other than a bathroom with a bathtub that was the most comfortable place. Mark put a blanket to cover the bathtub after which he got in it and lay down curled up with only one pillow. Within minutes Mark was fast asleep. Mark dreamed he was running down a highway with his clothes covered in blood. He didn't know why he kept running, but Mark was very scared. Many times he tried to wipe the blood on his hands by rubbing it hard on his high schoo
Rachel opened her eyes which felt very heavy, her whole body seemed to be crushed and heavy when she moved. There was no light whatsoever, when Rachel opened her eyes it was nothing but dark, and felt so claustrophobic. Rachel had to cough several times one thing she was very sensitive to dust. Rachel also can't stay in a dark room for too long, it can make Rachel feel short of breath. "Help!" Rachel tried to shout for help. Her hand was now right in front of her chest which felt very tight, Rachel was having trouble breathing. Her hands tried to grab whatever was in front of her. The real feels nothing but empty, Rachel can't cry because she knows her tears won't get her out of there. The door suddenly opened, someone's face was unclear but now Rachel could see it. The demon man who brutally slaughtered her now reappeared with his smirk. "Hey, wife are you awake from your sleep of death?" Mark walked up to Rachel who looked terrified. Naturally, Rachel was afraid of
"Daddy..." Pricill immediately ran towards Marcel who was stretching his arms out, in front of the school exit. "Okay, tell Daddy what you did at school." Marcel kissed Pricilla's cheek and put her in the car. "Hmm, a lot Daddy." Pricilla placed her index finger on her pursed lips remembering what she did at school. Marcel smiled as Pricilla became more and more like Grace. Flashback. "What would you like to eat?" Grace placed her index finger on her lips, trying to think of what would be good to eat today. "Sushi? Pizza? Or something else?" Marcel smiled as he looked at his wife's funny face. "No...I'm bored baby that food keeps coming especially steak ahh I think I'll throw up every day eating it. "Grace rolled her eyes and folded her hands in front of her chest. "Then what's good where right now?" "Coq au vin?" Grace asked Marcel again, asking for his opinion, even though Marcel's opinion didn't matter when it came to food. "Are you sure you want to eat
"Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?" Rachel opened her voice again after a long silence. "There's no need, ma'am. This wound will heal on its own." Mark was still focused on the road ahead of him, he couldn't hide how eager Mark was to bring Rachel to harm at this moment like pushing her into a ravine for example. Rachel saw the blood flowing down the driver's shirt sleeve and was shocked. "You hurt your hand!!!" Mark just realized the wound on his hand. He didn't know that the acting he did made him hurt. What's more, he had fallen in the middle of the road maybe, that's where the wound came from. And Mark didn't realize that. Mark was surprised when Rachel's hand gently rolled up his shirt and it made Mark turn his head and pull his hand away from Rachel's touch. "I'm fine ma'am." Mark was not used to receiving other people's touch so when Rachel's hand touched his hand without permission Mark was surprised. "Shut up! Remember I'm your boss." Rache
Rachel put the earphone to her ear and the noise of the airplane engine often made Rachel feel dizzy even though she took a business class flight, she still sometimes thought about it and it would make her dizzy and nauseous. This time she was able to calm down a little when the sound of Lady Gaga singing shadow was very soft and her seat position had now been changed to a reclining position. Rachel tried to sleep for a while at least she could replenish her energy, which still felt lacking because of her irregular resting time these days due to her rather hectic work. one more thing that irritated Rachel these days. where in the past week she always received anonymously sent objects again and again, which at first was just expensive bag and the next time it was watches, shoes, flowers, and even chocolates that were quite large and certainly very expensive. Whoever was behind the delivery of all these objects Rachel was very disturbed. Hopefully, after she returned to France no one
"Mark, where are you going?" Mark's footsteps stopped when a voice he had memorized called his name. Mark's body didn't even want to turn his body even a little bit, just to look at the other person. all of that happened because of his hatred. "No need to know where I am, you are not my mother. " Mark said in a very cold tone he again stepped his feet leaving the magnificent four-story house. Mark walked into his black Mercedes Benz GT 63 S car and immediately started the engine and left the yard of his father's luxury house. Previously Mark's day was very calm because in that magnificent house, only his father and himself lived. but in the last 2 years everything has changed, the woman who is currently still his father's fiancee has even come to live in the same house with Mark. "Damn it when that woman comes home!!.. I can't wait to get close to her. " Mark hit the steering wheel pressed the gas pedal and drove his car through the slippery road because it had been soak
