Chapter 11: I'm Missus Carter

Summer’s Point of ViewThe next day, I went to the police station where Celine had been taken into custody. I had been meaning to do this the evening before, however; I had no one to turn to for help in locating where she had been detained. It was a stroke of luck that the news of her whereabouts spread quickly like a wildfire on the internet, and I was able to discover her location.But when I got there, I was confronted with the bitter smell of disappointment.“We’re sorry. She can’t bail out, Missus Carter.”“What? It was merely a self-defense…” I was baffled, but not shocked that such a thing could occur because Celine and I had offended a powerful family. Yet I still tried to explain my case to the police, though I knew they wouldn't be able to help.“But there is no evidence to say that what Miss Celine did was self-defense. If there is something to prove it or even a small piece of evidence, we will definitely investigate the case thoroughly,” the man said solemnly. And as he c

Chapter 12: Waiting for him

Summer's Point of View The two women eyed me skeptically, their eyebrows raised in disbelief. They looked at each other as the corner of their mouths twitching with the effort of suppressing laughter, until the first woman spoke, "Mister Carter ordered us not to let anyone into his office. If you're indeed the renowned Missus Carter, shouldn't you have phoned ahead so he could give us permission to grant you access?" "Miss, I don't have time—" I was interrupted as she grabbed the book list, her voice ringing out, "If you can be patient, I'll check if you're on the list of his appointments so I can inform him and he can wave you in." I clenched my fists and gritted my teeth, trying to keep my patience. I was convincing myself that the reason they didn't know me was because they weren't part of the elite circle, like the people who knew me. But on second thought... didn't Steven even introduce me as his wife to his employees? "Miss... I can't find your name." The woman closed the bo

Chapter 13: Don't divorce me

Summer’s Point of ViewEven though I haven't completely come back from my reverie, I hurry to stand up as if I will to stumble. I quickly grabbed my bag and ran towards him without him noticing, since he had his back turned towards me.He was about to get into the driver's seat when I shouted, “Steven! Wait, please!”Thankfully, he halted in his tracks, his eyebrows meeting as he turned to me with a solemn expression and asked, “It's already late. Why are you still here? And why did you come here in the first place?”I adjusted the bag on my shoulder and gripped it before I gave him an answer. “It's about Celine—”“You aren't expecting me to help you with that, aren't you? Because I won't.” He turned around and was about to get into the car again, but I grabbed his wrist and gave him a pleading expression.Nonetheless, it must be true that his heart was harder than stone because he just looked down at my hand that was clutching his wrist and said with a coldness that froze my heart, “

Chapter 14: Threat

Summer’s Point of View He remained in the same spot for one minute before he abruptly slammed the car door and marched towards me. I held my ground, staying in my spot and never letting my fear take away the bravery my eyes expressed. “You claim you forgot your memories, but it implies the opposite,” he coldly spat. “You have not changed in any way—still the same person you have always been. Exactly the same individual who has threatened others close to her in the past to achieve what she wants. With your past memories or not, you’re still the same… The Summer Ramey that is so brutal, cruel, and merciless.” With each word he uttered, he had such a cutting edge to his voice that I felt my throat closing and I couldn't bring myself to speak up in response. I couldn't bear to look at him, so I averted my eyes, knowing I couldn’t undo the damage his words had caused. His accusation of heartless made me feel numb, regardless of my past or present self. Wasn't he also someone who could

Chapter 15: Fake Missus Carter

Summer’s Point of ViewI plopped down on the bench at the police station and swiped away the drop of sweat that had trickled down my face. Although I was feeling dizzy because of the heat, I had no other choice except to pray that if they noticed my dedication, they would give me authorization to bail Celine or at least let me see her.I wanted her to feel the comfort in knowing that no matter how sad her days may feel, I would always be there for her. I wished I could at least see her to cheer her up.Steven and I hadn't talked since our last conversation, so there was no way for me to expect anything from him. It had been a week and every time I called him; he hung up on me before I could even hear the ring. I had attempted to visit him at the Carter Group multiple times, but the front desk would always tell me he had already gone.Watching the people come and go at the station distracted me from the fact that I had to make a third trip to the hospital. I was hoping to have a conver

Chapter 16: Blame you

Summer's Point of View “Of course, Miss Hailey. We won't let any shameless woman enter... much more those people who pretend as Missus Carter," as the woman's voice faded, I could still hear her last words, "She isn't fit to be Missus Carter, and Mr. Carter has a good standard for his woman.”These two front desk women still didn't learn their lessons as I thought they would, they kept whispering that didn't seem to whisper but intentionally.“Oh! Don't let her hear you! Missus Carter "wannabe" might get mad again... and who knows probably has the power to fire us!”“She isn't Missus Carter! Mr. Carter didn't answer her calls. It's proof that she's lying to us.” The two women kept talking about me. I massaged my palm, turned it into fist, and gather all my will not to explode. Expecting I would be really angry, the two had an evil smirk when they seamlessly mocked me. Of course, they had Hailey in their back, so they wouldn't be easily get scared anymore.I just ignored their rants

Chapter 17: I need help too

Summer's Point of View My palms curved into fist as I tightened my grasp on my sleeves while I was watching Steven and Hailey walking away from me. I didn't remove my sight from them, especially when I saw how Hailey threw a proud and triumphant smirk while making words using her lips without sounds."You can't win against me."My heart clenched with needles penetrating the most crucial part of it... well, what's new? Steven squeezed my heart again until it dropped the last blood from it. It was painful, and I was upset about how he treated me. I'm his wife, Missus Carter, but he kept treating me like trash that he wanted to throw.....Ironically, he already did throw me away.I felt exhaustion washed all over me. Coming here was just another stressful moment that taking years of my life. As his back getting further and further, a little fire of hope was lit inside of me: that perhaps he would turn his head back to consider me before he would enter his car... but as expected, he didn

Chapter 18: Steven's sorry

Summer's Point of View I took deep breaths and tried to push away the sting of what I had seen. I watched as Hailey moved closer to Steven, her lips turned up into a sly smirk, before she whispered something in his ear.“What are they whispering about?” I couldn't help but asked myself. Steven pulled Amby to the backseat of the car, and the seriousness of their conversation was evident in the deep frown on their faces. With a gentle lurch, the car started moving away from the parking space.“Where are they going?” I squinted and peered around, searching for a cab, but the silence of the exclusive, wealthy clubhouse made it difficult to find one.I almost ran in panic, my stomach churning with fear as I recalled what Hailey had told Steven - that Amby had gotten into an accident. She needed to be taken to the hospital, so I knew Steven would take her to the hospital with its grand entrance and expensive services.When I spotted a cab going my way, I hailed it and slid into the back

Chapter 19: Time machine for past

Summer’s Point of ViewI felt a presence behind me and when I swiveled around; I saw a young man who seemed to be my age. He had pinkish lips, and his jaw was in a perfect curve. He grinned at me knowingly, his eyes twinkling with recognition.“Hi,” I greeted and slightly bowed my head. His smile widened as I gave him a confused reaction. He looked so pleased when he saw me, so I couldn't help but wonder. “I’m sorry, but do I know you?” The man scratched his nape, and there was a strange emotion in his eyes when they landed on mine. He pursed his lips as if it was funny that I asked his name.“Hey! It’s me, Brandon Scott. It’s nice to see you again, Miss Summer.” Brandon? I couldn't recall meeting a person named Brandon. Straining my eyes shut as I tried to remember if I knew him, I came up empty.With a deep breath, I tried to remember the man, but the harder I concentrated, the worse my headache got. It was so painful that I almost groaned in so much pain.I felt the hollowness of

Chapter 20: Move on

Summer's Point of View“Steven, it's time for you to head home. Why can't you believe me when I am telling you I am fine?” Amber urged again.Reality hit me like a ton of bricks when I heard Amby's words to Steven. I stole a quick look at him, feeling the anticipation in the air as I waited to see how he would react to her.Steven cast a glance at Brandon, who was standing to his side, instead of saying anything to Amby. His face was set in a serious expression, and his eyes were icy and uninviting.“What happened to Amby? Did you investigate it?” Steven asked and my heart felt like it was being squeezed and half into two. His face was etched with worry for Amby, more so than when he looked at me.Amby stared incredulously at Steven, shaking her head in amazement that he was being so obstinate in front of her."Yes, Mr. Steven. I found out that the man behind the chaos is—"“Froilan Hernandez invited me to have dinner with him. He is the director of the big company's technology, so I h
