Hailey stood silent for a long time, pondering what to tell Williams, so he could free her.
They gazed at each other and remained in that position for what seemed like ages as the atmosphere became suffocated for Hailey.“Are you serious about what you are saying?” she finally asked with a low voice, her eyes wide open with astonishment.“Of course, yes. Do I appear like someone who is joking? I guess I'm not dressing like a joker, Hailey.” he smirked.She shook her head and said, “You must be kidding me, Williams. Here are the keys, take them, so I can move out of this place. I have forgiven you for breaking my heart into a thousand pieces. But just because I forgave you doesn't mean I will accept you back as my husband. I don't need any man in my life again, no matter how wealthy the man is. You betrayed me, Williams.”“Come on, Hailey. No one is above mistakes. We all make mistakes, so please take that as a mistake. Or are you trying“What?”! Hailey muttered in shock as she dropped her leg and stood on her feet. “ What nonsense is this, Jerry?” she yelled at the gatekeeper, whose gaze was fixed on the ground as if he were the one who wrote the letter.The gateman trembled at her voice. He swallowed hard as he avoided eye contact with Hailey. This wasn't because of the respect he had for her, but because he was scared to see Hailey's angry face. “My husband gave you this?” she raged as though she wanted to punch him. “Y-yes, ma'am,” the gatekeeper stammered with his gaze fixed on the ground. “How dare he give this to me? Has he gone crazy or what? How dare he give me a divorce letter, uh?”! Hailey shouted through gritted teeth and a frowning face. The more she spoke, the more the gatekeeper quivered at her words.Hailey had blonde hair cascading to her shoulder, resembling the first glorious ray of sunlight. Her cheerful face brightened up every gloomy heart as people turned towards her breathtaking smile like a
“Woman, what are you still doing in my house?” Williams asked through gritted teeth as he let go of his girlfriend's hand.He was pointing at her with his index finger and a frown face as though he wanted to slap Hailey.Williams has black sleek hair resembling the prevailing darkness, the thunderous coarse voice of his displayed chilling nonchalant nature. His silvery eyes, which glanced at people like a dagger, with a soul-eating stare that each time it pierced the air.“I'm in my house and I see no reason you should ask me that question.” Hailey courageously fired back at him.Williams took a few steps towards Hailey as he clenched his fist furiously. He stood an inch away from her as they glared at each other. “If I can remember, this is my house and not yours, Hailey,” said Williams as he continued to clench his fist angrily.“Well, we built this house together,” she responded with her arms crossed over her chest defensively. “ Secondly, anything that belongs to my husband is m
With haste, Hailey ran upstairs to drive Hazel out of the house. She doesn't care if Williams would attempt to punch her because of this.All Hailey needed was for Hazel to leave her husband alone. Why should she chase after someone's husband? Are there no other handsome-looking men out there? Why then must it be Williams?Immediately, Hailey got to the door, she attempted to open the door as she held the doorknob.Just when she was about to twist the doorknob, she froze at what was echoing in her ears.“What! I hope it isn't what I'm thinking,” she muttered and gently placed her ear on the door.To her greatest surprise, the noise coming out from the room informed her about what was happening inside there.They were already having affairs on her matrimonial bed.Just after she noticed this, she became lifeless and weak. Her grip on the doorknob suddenly loosened.If someone told her that Williams would one day do such a thing to her, she wouldn't have believed it.She so much truste
Hailey managed to sleep that night, but she couldn't sleep early until 1:00 AM, at midnight.She was planning to shock Williams that morning, but the opposite just happened, which Hailey never saw coming.A heavy knock came from the door, which made Hailey jump off her sleep. It was so loud and terrifying that she thought that arm robbers had come to kidnap her.“Hailey!” an angry, familiar voice echoed, which sent a shiver down her spine. She was lost about what was going on.Hailey was still feeling sleepy and dizzy because she didn't have enough sleep. And for this reason, she was yet to make sense of what was happening.“Who is there at the door?” Hailey asked with a low voice as she fixed her gaze on the door.“Come out here, you barren woman!” Williams' angry voice echoed.Immediately, he said that Hailey's face changed over time. She now knows who was at the door.She frowned and furiously went down from the bed. However, before she could gesture towards the door, she scanned a
“Please inform them that I have realized my mistake, and I'm here to apologize.” Hailey fell on her knees and pleaded with the gatekeeper to beg her parents to please come to her rescue.Just after her knees completely touched the sandy ground, that's when it dawned on her that she had sustained injuries on both of her knees.“Ahh…” she shrieked sorrowfully and quickly stood up to avoid causing the injuries to flow out more blood.“I'm sorry, madam, but I can't go in there to talk to your dad. He might end up slapping me. He doesn't look like someone ready to listen to your pleading. Just respect yourself and go away.” The gatekeeper explained to her as he attempted to close the gate, but Hailey quickly stopped him from doing so by protecting the gate from closing. “Please do not do this to me. Have you forgotten who I am? I'm your boss's first child.” she boldly spoke, thinking that she would scare the young man.“I don't care who you are to my boss. You have been disowned by him,
Meanwhile, Mrs. Amelia was happy because she would be able to see her grandchild before leaving the earth. But she wasn't aware that her son-in-law had divorced her daughter.“C-can I see her, please?” she pleaded with a smile curving her lips.“Sure, why not?” Dr. Derrick said,“ But she isn't awake.” he added before leading Mrs. Amelia inside the ward.Mrs. Amelia's smile never disappeared as she gestured towards her pregnant daughter, who was laying on the hospital bed.She stood above Hailey and gazed at her with continued smiles. Mrs. Amelia was delighted with the good news, which she was sure that Hailey wasn't aware about.“When will she wake up?” she curiously asked the doctor.“Hmm… A few minutes from now. So, I guess you should have a seat before she recovers.” Dr. Derrick responded with a calm voice, and Mrs. Amelia nodded in obedience.She was offered a seat by a nurse who was asked by Dr. Derrick to look after Hailey.After Mrs. Amelia sat down on the chair, Dr. Derrick smi
Tension filled the atmosphere, as both Hailey and her mom were still finding it hard to believe Dr. Derrick.On the other hand, Mrs. Amelia's driver and the nurse were busy smiling at the commotion without involving themselves in the scene because they had no idea what was happening.“Even if I'm pregnant with triplets, I don't need a man in my whole life again. No man should dare come anywhere closer to me, not even you, Derrick. All men are liars and devilish. True love doesn't exist anymore!”Hailey spoke through gritted teeth and stepped down from the sick bed. Everyone became dumbfounded, including Mrs. Amelia. She was amazed by Hailey's reactions because of what the doctor said.Hailey walked up to Dr. Derrick, inching her face closer to his as if she wanted to bite his nose off his face.“I don't regret dumping you, Derrick. I regret giving my heart to another b*tch, thinking that he loved me. Yes, I made a terrible mistake by allowing fake love to blindfold my eyes. I wish I k
As soon as Hailey and her mom stepped into the living room, Hailey froze at the door upon seeing her dad sitting on one of the couches and fixed his gaze on the wide television before him. He was listening to the current news.“What's wrong, Hailey?” Mrs. Amelia inquired after noticing Hailey's sudden pause.Instead of responding to her mom, she swallowed hard as she gazed at her father with fear.Just as she stood staring at her father without answering her Mom, Eric appeared from nowhere like a ghost.“Hailey,” he called out with a happy face as he rushed and hugged her.She squatted to his level and pecked his cheeks with continued smiles. “ I missed you, Eric,” said Hailey.“I missed you too, big sis,” Eric responded in a baby voice and smiled at his sister.However, Mr. Grayson pretended as if he wasn't aware of their presence. He continued listening to his news with his gaze fixed on the television, but his mood ha
