Selena in the Preston's living room and had a strange expression on her face as she stared at the handsome man sitting relaxedly across from her. It was obvious from his laid-back attitude that this wasn't his first time here. He was wearing a fitting gray suit and seemed to be in his late thirties, with had a head full of honey-brown hair. Every move he seemed to make carried an inherent noble grace and permeated a mature man's charm. He also had affectionate eyes that made you feel like you are the only one present in his world when he looks at you warmly. Selena had to admit that if she didn't have someone in her heart, she might have been tempted after all before Ryan came into the picture, this was her type of dream man. But that wasn't the cause of the strange expression on her face, rather it was because the man was someone whose face she couldn't be more familiar with! He

"That little b*tch must have never dreamt I would do that, right? Thinking not letting her leave in her father's car was the end? How naive!" Just like her mother. "That had only been the appetizer before the main course!" "I wonder how she must be feeling at the moment? Despaired? Restless? As she watched different cars driving past her with not even a single one of them willing to extend a helping hand. Of course, they don't dare to! Not unless they are willing to make Ariana Houston sat inside the immobile car and stared at the gas gauge with a dark expression on her face. She should have known that that b*tch of a woman wouldn't be able to restrain herself from making a move on her today! But she had naively thought that what happened in the morning was all that there was to it! Today was her first day of work at the Houston's Company and she had planned to go with her father but unfortunately, a wrench had been thrown into that plan when the stepmother of hers had come up with

Anderson's Residence.   Patriarch Anderson and Luke who were still waiting for Dan got increasingly impatient as time went by.   One hour. Two hours. Three hours.   Slam!   A fist slammed the table angrily, shaking it violently. With a dark expression on his face, Patriarch Anderson gritted out.   "Is he taking me for a fool by making me wait for so long?"   Luke who also had a dark and hateful expression on his face replied with false calmness.   "He should be coming..., right? Let's wait for a while more...", He told his furious father though his tone indicated that he also wasn't sure of himself.   "Wait?! That is what you have been telling me for the past few hours! Even if he is living somewhere remote, he should have gotten here by now!"   Of course, Luke also knew that, but he still found i

The thirteen-year-old him hadn't wanted to leave his mother after finding out her plans of leaving him with the father he had never met and had no affection or attachment to.However, Mary had been cruel and ruthless to both herself and him back then by telling him that his existence was a burden to her and it restrained her from having her own personal life.She had told him that she planned on getting married and her partner said he couldn't tolerate his existence. Even now, he still remembered clearly how his mind had gone blank as he listened to the words that sounded harsh in his ears as it came out of her mouth. At that time, he couldn't fathom where something had gone wrong - why his loving and caring mother suddenly turned hateful and wanted to abandon him.Yet, she gave him no time to understand as she left without saying goodbye after entrusting him to Anderson. He could only watch her leave with a blank expression on his face whilst he couldn't

So when Selena caught a glimpse of the people who entered, she felt increasingly panicked though the exact reason she felt this way eluded her.On the other hand, Mr. and Mrs. Preston who came in paused in surprise after having a clear view of the situation in the living room.Their gazes then moved back and forth between the duo who were standing, not knowing what they were thinking of and the room fell into a strange silence, which Mrs. Preston quickly broke after coming back to her senses."Nathan! What a pleasant surprise!", She said with a wide smile on her face.Nathan glanced at the woman standing beside him whose face has changed slightly after seeing her parents and something flashed in his eyes.However, nothing could be told from his face as he faced the older woman in front of him who was an exact replica of Selena making it almost impossible for the two of them to be told apart if not for the obvious
