"Why did your husband leave you here alone? Doesn't he know that it's too dangerous for you to be alone?"Laila bowed and smiled bitterly at Tristan's question. The man was right. Tristan thought about her safety first while her husband didn't even make sure if she was okay."I-I don't know. T-The truth is... S-Since I got out of the hospital after the surgery, h-his attitude toward me has changed. I-It's like he doesn't even want to talk to me or touch me. I-I miss the old Vincent who always made me feel how much he loved me and how important I was."She poured wine into the glass and then she sipped it straight. Laila winced as the bitter taste of it brushed at her throat but it was nothing compared to the bitterness she was feeling."Wait, Laila! Drink slowly! Too much is bad!"The glass was already half full when Tristan grabbed it from her. The man gulped down the remaining wine in the glass."T-Tell me! A-Am I ugly?! A-Am I not attractive in your eyes?!" Laila asked the man with

"Hmmm ... Their steak here is savory! We should eat here often," Tristan spoke out as he cheerily chow in contrast to Romana's actions.She didn't even touch the cutlery."C'mon, Tristan. How many more hours are you going to waste? I want to watch the video so give it to me. I can pay you ten million as we talked about!"Tristan dropped his fork and knife and then he glanced at her face. Seems like he was reading what was on her mind."What exactly is your plan, Romana? Why Vincent? What does he have?"She met his critical gaze with dead emotion."It's none of your business, Tristan. I assumed nothing else was crucial to you but money, so we understand each other because we have similarities? People like us who have luxurious ambitions don't care even if we stride on other people's feet, did you forget it already?"The man in front of her got silent for a moment. He paddled his hair and comes off like he didn't agree with what she said."Romana ... He's a married man! There are so man

Laila used her remaining sanity and strength to push Tristan away from her. He stepped back three times, meanwhile, she glimpsed in the direction of the living room where her husband was.As she was fully persuaded that Vincent hadn't seen them, she glared at the man who was out of his senses."What do you think you're doing? Why did you do that?! Do you really want to destroy our relationship?!" She whispered as she gritted her teeth to Tristan.But instead of coming back to his senses, he burst out laughing which drives her face to become even more confused."Y-Your relationship has been ravaged for a long time, Laila. Y-You're the only fool who still hopes that it will be fixed. W-Why don't you just dump that man? H-He's just giving you aches and frustrations. J-Just come with me."He held one of her hands but she quickly shrugged it off as she laid her palm on his silky cheek.The man's face turned sideways after she slapped him. If only that would clear Tristan's mind, she wouldn

The smile on Laila's pale lips was sweet as he came into her room."Hubby! I'm pregnant!" she excitedly exclaimed.He didn't show any sentiment.He couldn't be happy not because he didn't care for the child in her womb but because of the kind of home his future child would belong to.He doesn't love Laila anymore but fate is really funny, heaven blessed them with a child."A-Aren't you happy that we're going to have a baby?" The smile on his wife's lips faded.Quietly, he sat on the couch and just washed his face."Based on what I can see, you're not glad that I'm pregnant! What, Vincent?! Are you mad because what we did paid off?!"His eyes turned sharp as he looked up at the woman."Shut up, Laila! You know that our relationship has not been good for a long time, right?! Why did you get pregnant?! Why you didn't use any contraceptives to prevent us from having a child?!" he spoke out in a bombed voice.Romana's emotions are what he bothers about at this moment. If the woman finds ou

"Can you tell me where's the zone of the clinic we're going to?"Confusedly, Laila glimpsed at Tristan. His eyes were concentrated on the road while seriously driving his tricycle."I-I thought…""You thought what? That I'll take you to a place where you'll be happy? Wouldn't you be delighted if I brought you to the clinic? Can you provide me any idea where would you be happy, Laila? So that I could take you there. I think it would be fun!"A candy smile emerged on Tristan's red lips. His even and white teeth came out, which pushed his beauty even brighter.Her eyes crossed down his broad shoulders until her gaze landed on his large and veiny hands.She never figures out how long she stared at the man, which drives her surprised as his two fingers suddenly touched her chin, and then he gently lifted it up."Shut your mouth, a fly might get in. I don't know where we're taking off. There are too many clinics here."She swallowed because of embarrassment. The man even caught her staring
