"You're truly heartless, Hailey. Although your husband gave me money, do you think I'd turn my back on you?""Of course, you wouldn't." Hailey tried to give her a smile. What would she do now to make Kara drop the topic? She really didn't want to talk about it. Even if it bordered her so much, no amount of comfort could possibly work for her in this situation.But Kara's expression only turned gloomier and Hailey decided to test the waters.She took her hand and stared into her eyes then asked, "What would you do, Kara? Let's say you have a boss who is overprotective of you. You know he's going to hurt you but you have no power to defend yourself. In fact, he even protects you from others, while he himself is in danger. And in the end, you're going to be at the receiving end." "The heck?" Kara exclaimed with widened eyes. "Why would I want such a boss, Hailey? I don't care if he'll protect me, shit! I'm even going to kick his butt for putting me into such a miserable position. He sh

Hailey went silent and focused on the news instead. Then her eyes inadvertently diverted to the wall clock and she gasped.Shit! She had promised Kendrick she'd return early. "I have to go, Kara." She rose to her feet with her eyes still on her wristwatch. Kendrick must have taken his drugs by now. He should be asleep. "Why, Hailey? But it's not even closing time." Kara stared at her with a confused look. But Hailey was already out of the table. She had to pick up her bag from where she had left it in the kitchen. Rick was standing against a wall at the entrance. His eyes were on her. And she gestured him to go get the car ready."Hailey." Kara followed her into the kitchen, the confusion still on her face. "Why are you in a hurry?" She asked. Hailey didn't want to tell Kara why she was in a hurry. Otherwise, her friend would misread everything. It was a promise she had made out of desperation. And she had to fulfill it. She was desperate at that time to get Kendrick's permission t

Hailey gripped her seatbelt tightly, her whole body shivering inside. She couldn't even bring herself to talk, talk more of telling him to slow down. "Don't worry, Madam. We'll get there in no time." Rick gave her a fleeting glance and focused back on the road.Hailey gave a shaky nod. She could very well see that. They wouldn't even spend three more minutes on the road. They would be inside the mansion by then. They were already in the silent residential area. Hailey's heart was at the same speed as the car. Her heart did not stop racing even when the car slowed down as they approached the gate. And when it finally came to a stop at the parking lot, she staggered out on wobbly knees and threw up right there in the parking lot."Madam, are you alright?" Rick came to her side as she threw up violently. Hailey was too weak now. And her pretend headache was frighteningly becoming true. How could he drive like that? Was he a maniac? 'Urgh' she regretted telling him to speed up. Who kn

The drugs.Hailey's eyes flew wide and she stilled. The doctor had said something about him not taking his previous drugs. Those drugs she had found out about. Kendrick had been on medication all along. It was still the poison. Realization dawned on her and she jerked up. The doctor's words. Those words from a few months earlier. The doctor had told her Kendrick might come up with relapses because the concentration of the poison was lethal. It had scared her but she hadn't taken it seriously when she saw Kendrick looking all fine and healthy two weeks later. She had taken the doctor's words as just speculations after then. But it was true. Everything was real. The relapses the doctor had warned about. That was his recent illness. Kendrick wasn't cured of the poison. He was still battling with it.Her whole being went numb and her heart stopped beating for a few seconds.Her knees buckled but she managed to hold herself and settle down on the bed weakly. Why did she get into one m

The baby. The baby. Everything was about the baby. Hailey felt helpless in his arms and the fears manifested again. To what extent would Kendrick go for this baby? He was even willing to save her reputation at all costs. All because of the baby. It wouldn't be good for the baby to grow up and find out that its father was once poisoned by its mother. It wouldn't be fair. But was it also fair to lie to his parents? "Hailey." Kendrick made her look at him again. "Things are going to be fine. I won't let anyone hurt you with their words. It's okay to feel guilty. I want you to know that I forgive you."More tears. A dam of tears flooded down Hailey's face. He even knew she was feeling guilty about doing that. And he said he forgave her. Why was he doing this to her? Didn't he know his words only reminded her of how cruel she had been? How senseless she was. And how she would never forgive herself."You're not evil, Hailey." His words were meant to soothe and calm her down. "You told me
