After Elena spoke, she turned and walked away, while Kyle just stood, staring at her with a sad expression on his face. After she got into her car and drove off, he also left in his car. Those who had been following their actions from inside the bar, up until outside, felt sorry for him. Despite everything he did, Elena still rejected him.When Elena went back home, she seemed unhappy, and her granny noticed it. "What happened?" she asked. Elena sighed, "Mr. Jones is involved." Confused, her Granny asked, "Mr. Jones? What about him?" Elena began to tell her granny about what Mr. Jones had done during the party last night—how he had tried to sabotage and humiliate her in front of everyone—and how Kyle had come to her rescue."What? I can't believe someone I trusted so much could do something so despicable," her granny said. "You know, before now, I planned to let him take over for the next two years until you gained the experience you needed from working at Elen Global. But then si
Mr. Jones left the office and called Mr. Ben to meet with him during lunch. He told him, "That brat Anna now has dirt on me, so I can't do anything.""What exactly does she have against you?" Ben asked."It doesn't matter, all you need to know is that if the world got to see it, I'll be completely ruined," Jones replied. "As a matter of fact, I'll spend the rest of my life in jail.""Really? That's quite serious," Ben said. "So, the ball is in your court now. I can't lift a finger against her. I was too sloppy. I should have ensured that I got rid of the footage in that hotel. I'm sure that's how she was able to figure out that I was the one who spiked her drink," Jones confessed."Don't worry, we're in this fight together. I'll deal with her on our behalf," Mr. Ben assured. "Your methods were too childish.""My methods were childish?" Jones scoffed. "As if we did not work on it together.""That's not what I mean," Ben clarified. "What I mean is that what I'm going to do to her will
Elena and Natalie made their way to her hotel room, and when they got in, Elena placed her luggage on the bed and began to unpack. She looked around the room and said, "Wow! This is nice, Natalie." Nathalie smiled, "I'm still in shock, Elena. It's as though my dead best friend just came back to life," as she spoke, her eyes brimmed with tears. "Don't cry, please," Elena replied. "I'm very sorry that back then, I left the way I did. I should have..." "No, Elena, it wasn't your fault," Natalie said. "Come and sit down and tell me what has been happening to you." Elena began to narrate everything that she went through and how she survived. She left out the part about her son because she did not want anything that would make Kyle find out about him. As she spoke, Natalie stared at her in surprise and finally said, "You're really fortunate, Elena. Back then, we were hoping that you would find a way to further your education and move to the city, and it finally happened." Elena nodde
Kyle sat in his room, fuming. He was very upset about the way Elena had treated him and the fact that she was trusting Natalie. How could she be so stupid? Someone she hadn't seen in six years, and she just followed her to her room. What if Natalie wanted to hurt her? No matter what, he didn't believe that people could change so easily. Natalie had been a bad friend back then, backstabbing Elena. He regretted not telling Elena what Natalie had confessed back then. If he had, Elena would have been more wary of Natalie now. Perhaps if it were a different friend, he wouldn't mind. While he was still thinking about what to do about the unexpected situation with Elena, he received a text from her. The text read that she wanted to see him in the garden to tell him something nice. He smiled, thinking that perhaps she regretted her actions and wanted to apologize. He quickly changed his clothes and applied perfume to his body since he had not taken a bath since they arrived. Afterward, he
"Yes, I am speaking to you," Elena said, folding her arms."However, the woman who was earlier screaming at the top of her voice couldn't say anything in reply. She kept staring at Elena and back at the door, not able to understand what had happened. From what she had been told, Elena ought to have been inside, and the man she had been claiming was her husband was expected to have been inside as well. But how come Elena was outside?"Go on. I am asking you a question," Elena's voice rang louder.""Cat got your tongue? Have I met you before, or have you met me before? What gives you the right to call my name and accuse me of sleeping with your husband? Go on, I'm listening. What proof do you have that I'm having an affair with your husband? Who is your husband, to begin with? Where is he? Let him come out."Kyle concurred, "Yes. You claimed Miss Anna is with your husband, isn't it? Well, open the door and let him come out!"The woman became gripped with fear and did not know what to sa
After going back to Natalie's room, Elena sat on the bed, thinking about everything that had happened. Natalie asked, "Were you able to find out who tried to frame you?" Elena shook her head, "No, I wasn't able to find out the culprit. But I wonder who it could be."Natalie was surprised because she had thought she was the only one who was out to destroy Elena. The fact that there was someone else made her feel uncomfortable. She didn't like the fact that they had gotten caught or that their plan wasn't successful. She knew how much Elena would have been humiliated if the plan did not fall through. She wished she could meet them. Perhaps if they could work together, it would be easier to teach Elena the lesson she wanted and make Kyle give up on her.Back in his room, Kyle called one of the officers who had arrested the woman and asked, "Have you been able to find out who she's working for?" The officer replied, "No, she has still refused to speak. She keeps claiming that someone
Elena sighed without giving Kyle a reply; the last thing on her mind was food. The fact that she had spoken about her past made her remember things she didn't want to, and she already began to feel sad. Kyle, who was still sitting beside her, waiting for her to say what she wanted to eat, noticed her silence. Minutes passed; ten, and then fifteen. Seeing that Elena wasn't still speaking, Kyle turned to stare at her. He wanted to ask her if she wasn't hungry, but then he saw tears dropping from her eyes. He was surprised."Elena, what is it? Why are you crying? He asked."Elena wiped her tears, saying, "It's all your fault for making me speak about the past." "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."Kyle moved closer and wiped the tears from her eyes. As she stared at him, she noticed the mark he had earlier shown her on his face where she had slapped him, and she sniffled, "Umm, aren't you going to do something about your face? It's going to leave a scar.""I did get a balm," Kyle said.He
When it was morning, Elena opened her eyes and sat up on the bed. She saw Kyle, who was already awake, sitting down and staring at her. "Good morning, beauty," he said.She rolled her eyes, "Good morning, Kyle."Getting up from the bed, she picked up her clothes, which she had cleaned last night and left to dry, and took off Kyle's shirt from her body before wearing hers back. "I'll just go back to my room," she said. "And about what happened yesterday, don't think too much about it. It will be in your best interest if you forgot that it happened. I just got carried away, and it meant nothing to me. Also, I spent the night just like you wanted, so I'm hoping you'll keep to your agreement and put what happened yesterday behind you, especially the incident where I slapped you."Kyle smiled, "So you're telling me for the second time that I should forget that something so amazing.....""Oh, come on, Kyle. We both know that you deliberately put me up to it. This was the reason you wante
