Semua Bab Love Under Fire: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Glory“So this is what you two decided? Are you really going to leave this house and go live somewhere else?” Charles asked after Harald's comment about him preferring his eldest son over his middle son; Charles had preferred to ignore that and focus on the issue the couple asked to talk to us about. "Yes, father. That has already been decided,” Harald responded, as he had been since that conversation began. I just lowered my head, embarrassed by the position he was putting me in. Our relationship was ugly, based on secrecy; there were secret meetings in strategic places both there in the mansion and in other corners of Denver, and they were done with great care and attention so as not to let anyone know about it. It was little, but at least it was something, but now that he would be far away I didn't understand how he and I would see each other from now on. “Don’t look so sad, Charles,” my husband’s daughter-in-law said, feigning sweetness. “You want a grandson, right? So Harald a

NancyJake held my face with both his hands and made me look at him. “Let’s run away, Nancy. This is the only way I can find now to keep your ex-husband away from you. Let’s run away and live our love while there’s still time,” he said with determination in his words and his eyes. I was still stunned as I stared at Jake's face inches from mine; he had just suggested that we escape Bruce's eyes, a desperate act to live our platonic love. My heart was beating fast at that tempting proposal. What could go wrong if I agreed to go through this madness with him? What harm would it do to me if I dared to run away with him in a desperate attempt to be happy? And I was tempted to accept it; in fact, I was very tempted. Moments later, Jake was helping me hurriedly put my clothes in a small suitcase. It wasn't long before Bruce was back there with the security guards and carried out the threat he had made to me. I had dressed in some dress, and Jake had already put on his clothes. “My car is

LanieI had stopped at a bottle store to buy some good wine with Nancy in mind. She was very depressed these days because she had to be separated from Jake, who was a guy who was doing so much good for her. In the last few weeks, I have had the pleasure of witnessing my friend go from being a sad and depressed woman who had been completely destroyed and sucked in by a failed marriage to seeing her transform into a happy, self-possessed, and empowered woman because of the company of that man. It was as if she had been a caterpillar this whole time, and only now had she come out of her cocoon and shown herself to the world; even her recent haircut made her look stronger than ever. But these evils always ended up coming back to torment her, which is why she had decided to stay away from Jake. I, in particular, hadn't liked hearing that, but as always, I respected her decision. I didn't have a family or anything like that, so I always considered Nancy my soul sister, and I worried about

CandaceWe didn't stay long at the Morton mansion after we said our goodbyes; we packed up quickly and then moved into the house that my father-in-law had bought us as a gift in an attempt to convince Harald and me to stay in Denver. I gasped loudly, and my eyes lit up when the car stopped in front of the house where my husband and I were going to live. "Oh my God! What an amazing place!" I exclaimed, suppressed, getting out of the car and looking at the mansion, which had very clean architecture. Harald didn't say anything, but you could see from his face that he too was surprised by the way the place looked; the servants were already carrying our suitcases, which were in another car, into the house. “Did you like it, Harald? It is splendid, isn't it? I want to take a look inside! Come with me?" I said, inviting him with a little giggle and running towards the house. The entrance door was high, almost to the ceiling, and inside it was spacious, fresh, and white. The house was alr

Amber Morton“Kris, your fake boyfriend got his girl pregnant, and you had the nerve to try to bribe the girl to get pregnant in exchange for money. All this so you can keep your name unsullied before the public? Wow, Amber! You really are a bitter girl, aren’t you?” A female voice said, and I knew that voice very well; it was the voice of Jade McLaughlin, my arch-enemy.I was still standing in front of the building where Kris lived. My heart almost stopped beating as I stared at my cell phone screen with a disbelieving expression. Had Jade found out about that? But I had barely left Kris' apartment. How come she already had this information? It was true that I had gone to meet Kris and his girlfriend to discuss her pregnancy. Kris and I had been maintaining a fake relationship for years, just to keep our status at the level it was at. It wasn't easy to stay famous, and always, in the trends of the moment, it was necessary to tell a lie here and there. Everyone did that in the celebr
