"I don't know," Sarah said. "For now, I don't feel any regret, just sadness and heartache. I've tried for years to warm his heart, and just when I thought I'd made some progress, it ended up benefiting someone else."Zara offered a gentle smile. "Maybe in time, or a few years from now, you'll look back and know if it was a mistake to have him in your life."Sarah gave a small smile in return. "Yeah."It was like that with life. Time would tell.Sarah felt calmer now and asked, "Aren't you curious about which Schmidt family son I was engaged to?""It's Stanley, isn't it?" Zara guessed.In Aquaville, she remembered Yosef mentioning Stanley's fiancée. She had asked Stanley, who admitted it, yet he said there were no real feelings between them. He also said the woman had been close to his brother lately.It all made sense now, and Sarah confirmed it with a nod.From inside, the sounds of a party starting could be heard. "You should go back to the party. I'm going to my room," Sarah

The chowder that Zara could not bring herself to drink at lunch had been consumed by Yosef.At that moment, Zara looked as if she had seen a ghost.She was feeling the same way now. Yosef had lifted her shirt, and the sensation of his lips and tongue sent shivers all over her body. It made her skin break out in goosebumps.In a panic, she burst out, "Mr. Webb, hold on, I got my period!"Yosef let out a cold laugh. "You were fine at the hot spring this afternoon, and now you suddenly have your period?"Zara clenched her teeth and said, "I didn't swim. I just sat and soaked my feet. Mr. Webb, you can ask Ms. Nox if you don't believe me."His lips were twisted into a smile, but his eyes were icy. "If you don't want to do this, let's talk about the contract. Did Shelby get back to you?"Zara swallowed hard and tried to push him away. "I haven't checked my inbox yet. I'll go look right now... Ugh!"She tried to get up from the bed, but Yosef grabbed her shoulder firmly and pushed he

Night turned to day, but Zara had barely slept.She listened all night for any sounds outside, but Yosef never came back.Zara looked pale and troubled. Without her makeup, she could not conceal it and just had to deal with it.She ate alone in the restaurant and then spent some time outside.One by one, the guests left the manor, their two-day holiday over. Zara had not seen Yosef, and he had not reached out. She certainly was not going to look for him.When he still had not shown up after lunch, Zara gave up waiting. She went to her room, packed her things, and got ready to take a taxi to the city.Stepping out of the manor, a car pulled up beside her.Thinking she was in the way, Zara moved aside.The car window rolled down. Yaxley, leaning on the edge with a smirk, asked, "Ms. Lowry, walking by yourself?"Zara hesitated. "Mr. Lark."Yaxley motioned. "Hop in, I'll drive you."She politely refused, saying, "No need to bother, Mr. Lark. I've called a taxi.""Just cancel it

Yaxley gripped the steering wheel, took a turn, and then glanced at Zara. He finally cracked a smile. "I was just joking. I noticed you looked a bit pale, and I thought maybe I hadn't been the best host. I wanted to cheer you up."Zara did not appreciate his attempts at humor.She thought Yaxley was just plain annoying.Yaxley was not someone she could just brush off, so when they reached the entrance of Central Hospital, she kept up her polite front. "Thanks, Mr. Lark."Yaxley smiled slyly. "Don't mention it. But I'm serious about wanting to get to know you better. If I slip up, I hope you'll let it slide, Ms. Lowry."Zara's brows were furrowed together. She knew arguing was pointless, though. Without another word, she turned and walked into the hospital.Yaxley stood there, watching her go. He almost reached for a cigarette out of habit. However, the memory of what had happened at the Jerring-style restaurant stopped him. As his car pulled away, he rolled down the window and to

Macy looked totally shocked."Yosef got your dad out? I told my team to handle it. When you called and said your dad was out, I thought they had done it."Zara nodded. "Maybe they didn't follow through as they said they would.""I'll have to straighten them out when I get back," Macy said, puzzled. "But it seems Yosef really cares about you. So why won't you go back to working with him?"Zara kept it simple. "Mrs. Parker, there's just this one thing I need help with."Macy sighed, a mix of frustration and pity on her face. "Well, okay. I respect your choice. Ethan mentioned this morning that an old family friend passed away. He wanted to go say goodbye himself, but he's not feeling well. He figured he'd have to send Yosef instead. It's all the way in Capital City, and he won't be back for a couple of days."Zara felt a wave of relief wash over her."Thank you, Mrs. Parker."...After leaving the tea shop, Zara hailed a taxi and headed back to the hospital.The evening sky was

Zara could not shake the memory of how he had used those photos to bully her into doing things and then coldly told her they were never real in the end.She was determined to make him feel what it was like to be tricked."I'm the one who lost out, Yosef. You have no idea how hard it has been putting up with you," she said.Yosef's voice was chilly. "Sounds like you've had a rough time."Zara bit her lip and ended the call.…Listening to the beep as the call cut off, Yosef's screen went dark. He was so mad he actually laughed. He had been wondering if Zara might try to get back at him, but experiencing it as it happened was a whole different story.What did she say? That she had been struggling to put up with him?What had he even done? He had taken her out to eat when she was too worried about her mother to think about food, got her a folding bed to rest on in the hospital ward, and even brought her home to freshen up and sleep.He had taken her rowing and archery. He even go

The driver up front nearly lost control of the car when he heard Sasha's bold words. How could she dare say those words to Yosef?Yosef's eyelids lowered, and his eyes narrowed with a clear warning.Sasha, however, did not care.She went on, "Ms. Lowry's a person with her own feelings and moods. If you had a pet, like a cat or a dog, and you hit it, yelled at it, or didn't feed it, it would want to run away. And people? Even more so."You need to show her respect, make her feel like she's her own person when she's with you. That's the only way she might stop pushing you away... "Look, forcing a woman to stay with you doesn't make you cool. It's when she wants to stay without wanting anything else that you're really something special."Yosef's thoughts drifted back to Zara.He was quiet for a bit and then asked, "If you're so smart, how did you mess things up with Stefan even after so long?"Sasha was taken aback. "Hey, I'm just human, and it's my first time at life. Kids mess

It was Yaxley.Zara's eyebrows were furrowed together for a split second. Quickly, however, she shook it off and smiled. "Good morning, Mr. Lark.""Good morning? I'm far from good, Ms. Lowry. My heart's in pieces."Yaxley lounged on the couch, with one leg casually draped over the other. With his charming bad-boy look and a sly grin, he seemed like the ultimate playboy."Ms. Lowry, I've sent you so many flowers, and you haven't even said thanks once. I started to think maybe I got the address wrong, so I decided to come and see for myself."He went on, sounding hurt, "And what do I find out? The cleaning crew tells me that every time you get the flowers, you just toss them in the trash. You're crushing my feelings, and it's making it hard for me to breathe."Ever since Zara started working at Schmidt Group, Yaxley had been sending her flowers every single day. They were not just any flowers either. They were fancy ones like color-changing tulips and spray-painted white roses. T

"What are you looking for?" Yaxley asked suddenly, noticing that Zara seemed distracted.Zara looked away and said, "It's nothing."Yaxley grabbed a glass of cocktail from a nearby table and offered it to her. "If you're looking for Mr. Webb, he's sure to show up tonight.""I'm supposed to congratulate Madam Hoster for Mr. Schmidt. I'm trying to find her," Zara replied calmly, declining the drink. "You go ahead, Mr. Lark."Yaxley's face fell, and he let out a sigh. "Why won't you even accept a drink from me? What's so bad about me that I don't even catch your eye, Ms. Lowry? Am I not handsome enough? Or am I not trying hard enough?""I'm not sure why you're suddenly so interested in me," Zara said."That's why you shouldn't have thrown away the flowers I gave you," Yaxley said. "There were letters I wrote inside. If you'd read them, you'd understand why I like you."Zara hesitated and then turned to look at him.Yaxley was good-looking, with charming eyes, a high nose, and thin

Zara stood tall and explained, "Something came up with Mr. Schmidt, so he asked me to come on behalf of Schmidt Group to congratulate Madam Hoster on her twin grandchildren. Running into Mr. Lark was just by chance.""That means you're still with Schmidt Group," Yosef said, his tone hard to read. He swirled a glass of red wine in his hand, the liquid silently striking the sides. His action spoke volumes without a sound.Zara's heart felt just like the wine that was held in his grasp, wobbling and wavering.It was their first face-to-face since they had had it out with each other.What would Yosef do to her, the woman who had openly tricked him?Zara would not be surprised even if he were to splash the wine right in her face just to make her look like a fool in front of everyone.Instead of splashing his drink, Yosef extended the glass toward her to offer a toast, "Then, to your future at Schmidt Group that's as bright as gold."A glint passed through Zara's eyes.Was he giving
