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
Chapter 60Ren checks his wristwatch for the sixth time as he sits in the spacious restaurant while holding the brown envelope tightly in his hand. "Am I doing the right thing?" He asks himself, staring at the envelope. The thought of what is likely to happen after this hits him hard, and for some seconds, he doubts if he'll be able to take the pain. Alicia would definitely find out about everything after this, and his fear would finally come true. Is this not the right time to do this? The sound of the footsteps behind him pulls his attention, and he tilts his head in the direction, to see Clement walking over to where he's sitting. "Hey, dude. Did I keep you waiting?" Clement asks as he pulls out a chair, and sits on it. The thirty-one years old young man is graced in black trousers and a shirt which are hugging his body tightly, revealing his muscled-up body. His blonde hair is messy, yet looks good on him. "No, you didn't. I got here not quite long now. What would
Chapter 61The sound of the blaring alarm pulls Alicia out of her deep sleep, and forcing her eyes open, she tilts her head to the side of the bed and finds it empty as usual. Ren has already woken up and is probably in the kitchen, making breakfast now. Sitting up on the bed, she takes a deep breath, while running her fingers through her hair. 'Let's get a divorce' tears well up in her eyes as the words echo in her head. Is he really going to divorce her? What about their baby? Who will father him in the future? Realizing that it's a Monday morning, and she needs to be in the office very early, she drags herself out of the bed and drags herself sluggishly into the bathroom to have her bath, which only lasted for about thirty minutes before she walks back into her room. She gets dressed in less than another thirty minutes. Glancing at her reflection in the mirror one more time, she finally picks up her handbag from the bed and strides out of the room. Descending t
Chapter 62 Silence assumes the car as Clement drives down the road a few minutes later with Ren in his car. "Are you ok?" Clement glances at him and asks. "Hmm," He nods his head and hums, even though it's obviously written all over him that he's not fine. How would he be fine while they are on their way to see the mysterious boss he is going to be seeing for the first time since he started this dirty job? 'He knows Alicia is pregnant' those words are still scaring the gut out of him whenever they replay in his head. What will happen now that the man knows about it? Will he threaten to hurt Alicia? "It's obvious that you're not fine, dude. Just calm down, and stop being overly nervous," Clement says to him as he pats his shoulder as if it's easy to do. The rest of the drive to the place was filled with silence, and they finally arrive at the front of a big iron gate after a long drive. Clement finally drives into the compound, and they both hop out of the car
Chapter 63 Ren POV "Shit!" I curse under my breath as I pull over at the side of the road, and a drop of tears slid down the corner of my cheeks. I never believed that a time would come when I would be in this difficult situation of choosing between what is wrong and saving the person I love the most. I know I deserve all the pain I'm going through now, this would've been avoided if only I wasn't greedy from the start. And now, an innocent person has to suffer the crime I committed. 'If you insist to back off, you would have yourself to blame when I decided to make Alicia and your unborn child pay later. Get the company's documents as soon as you can, and you'll be free' How can Mr. Douglas be this heartless? How could he be so inhumane to his own brother? This journey of my life began three years ago. Then, I had nothing, I lived and dwell on the street. I could barely feed myself, let alone raise money to buy clothes for myself. I bet you wouldn't want to know what h
Chapter 64 "Why? Why didn't you tell me all this while? Why the hell did you never tell me about it?" He snaps at her angrily, tears streaming down his cheeks. His heart hurts so much that he can't think of anything at the moment but just cry his eyes out. "Why should I have told you about it? Do you know how painful it has been all these while to see you with her? Do you know how I felt when I saw you first and wanted you, but my dad stopped me? She always gets all she wanted..." "Just shut the fuck up, bitch! You and your dad are nothing, but bastards. You are both selfish, greedy, and do nothing, but ruin the lives of people who are even close to you, all because of your greediness!" He yells at her as he slams his hands on the desk, and she scoffs as a drop of tears slid down the corner of her cheeks. "You have no right to talk about me and my dad in that manner, Ren..." "What the hell will you do? Slap me for saying that?" He scoffs as he wipes off his te
Chapter 65 Felix POV Waking up this morning and getting ready for work, I stop on my way out of my room and stare at the picture of me and Alicia hanging on the wall. It was the last pictures we took together the last time we traveled to Miami for holiday before our supposed wedding, which never took place. Although it has been so many years already, I still feel so fucked up and haunted by my past. Taking a deep breath, I finally pull the door open and step out of the room, heading to the parking lot where my car is parked neatly, and just when I'm about to hop inside the car, my phone starts ringing with a strange number displayed on the screen. I slide the answer button, and the voice that comes from the other end makes me freeze on the spot. It's the voice that I would never forget even a hundred years to this day, it's Lilian's voice. "Lilian?" I call, even though I'm already sure of who the caller is, and I heard her scoff. "Turns out that the criminal is sti
Chapter 66 Felix POV I check my wristwatch for the sixth time and sigh briefly. It has been over thirty minutes since I came to the office, and Alicia is yet to be here. She was always the first to come to the office, and this is getting me so worried about her. As much as I want to call her and ask how she's doing, I quickly decide against it. I have already promised that I was not going to disturb her again. I don't want to do anything that'll make her angry. Taking a deep breath, I stare at the screen of the desktop while having my hand on the mouse. I have so much work to do, but I can't even bring myself to do anything. How can I do it, when I'm not even sure about how she's doing now? Another ten minutes passed before the door finally opens, and she walks inside, making that usual straight face. "Good morning, ma'am," I quickly stand up and greet her, but she only hums and continues to walk into her office, not even sparing me a glance. It hurts to think
