Chapter 51 "Don't you want to know the relationship between your precious wife and that man?" She suddenly asks, bringing him to an abrupt halt. A smirk lingers around her lips as she stares at him while having her arms crossed on her chest. Slowly, he clenches his fists beside him, the image of them kissing pop up in his head, and he scoffs angrily. As much as he's curious to know what happened, knowing that Emily is not someone he can trust, how could he possibly listen to her? "I'm not interested," He says to her bluntly, about to leave but her voice pulls him back on his track. "Eight years ago..." She begins, then pauses and turns to leave over the rail, staring down at Alicia, who is busy talking with Felix and a few other men at the party ground. "That man... He dumped Alicia on their wedding day and ditched her after he stole money from her. Did she never tell you this?" His eyes slowly narrow in shock as her words play in his head. For some seconds, he sta

Chapter 53 Emily catwalks elegantly toward them with a smirk lingering on her lips. "Yes, we are. Do you have a problem with that?" Alicia asks, turning to face her while crossing her arms on her chest. The sight of Emily disgusts her so much, especially now that she's wearing this nonsense of a cloth. "I see. Can I join you guys?" She smiles sweetly, glancing at Ren whose attention is not even there. He seems to be lost in thoughts. "No, Emily... You can't join us," Alicia replies to her bluntly, and she scoffs rolling her eyes. "Your husband must be a really loyal dog. He is not even looking my way. I guess this was all a waste of time in the first place," She giggles. "Say that again, and I will make sure you regret it," Alicia threatens her angrily, but she only scoffs sarcastically. Does it really look like she gives a damn about her threats? Sadly, she doesn't. "Come on, Alicia... Don't be too harsh on me. Besides, we are cousins," She giggles sarcast

Chapter 55 Next day Alicia tosses on the bed tiredly before she forces her eyes open, welcomed by the bright sunlight penetrating the room through the window. It's a beautiful Saturday morning, and since she has nowhere to go later, going back to sleep won't harm her, right? "Good morning, pretty. We have an appointment with the doctor at 9am, and it's past 7am. You should get ready, sweetheart," Ren's voice pulls her attention, and that is when it occurs to her that she isn't the only one inside the room. She tilts her head tiredly to find him standing in front of the mirror, fully dressed. "I have made breakfast. You should come downstairs to have it," He winks at her before he turns and strides out of the room, closing the door gently behind him. She groans tiredly as she drags herself from the bed, holding the duvet tightly around her naked body. She walks sluggishly into the bathroom and slams the door behind her. She crashes against the wall and releases a deep s

Chapter 57 He scoffs as he stares at the picture in the locket, his heart thumping heavily against his chest. He can't bring himself to believe that in all this time that they have spent together, she has been taking the picture of another man around her neck and he never noticed it. "Why did you lie to me, Alicia? Why didn't you tell me Felix was your fiance?" He asked with pain evident in his voice, as he stares at the locket, anger, and pain filling every ounce of him. "Ren..." "It has been eight years and more... Yet you still haven't forgotten about him... All the time we have spent together, you carried this everywhere with you... You carried another man in your heart and allowed me to love you... Isn't that cruel?" He scoffs as a drop of tears slid down the corner of his cheek. "Yes, I know that we have been into this for the sake of contract... We were never married for real, and I shouldn't have crossed my boundary of falling in love with you... But wh

Chapter 59 He barges into the living room but stops on his track when he finds her sitting on the floor and in tears. "Are you ok?" Even though he knows that she was not ok, that was the first thing that came to his mind as soon as he saw her just now. She slowly raises her gaze to look at him, her heart which was so heavy with pain moments ago eases at once, and she finds herself standing up to her feet. "Ren..." She whispers before she hurries over to him, and hugs him tightly like he would vanish if she let go of him. "Please don't leave... Don't divorce me, please," She cries out painfully, wrapping her hands around his neck and crying heavily. "It is you I love, please don't go," She cries more, and he bites his bottom lip as waves of guilt spur through him. He's not a saint either. Knowing that all these things were planned in the first place, but his mind was changed because of the love he has developed for her, he can't just help but feel like a bad per
