I spent overnight in the office finishing the reports. I didn't even manage to eat. Sigh. The feeling that I was working alone in the office was depressing.
I kept on checking my phone. Hoping that Alex would text or call me. Unfortunately, I was hoping for nothing.
Funny. I still wished for an impossible thing. Gone were the days that Alex cared for me. He didn't talk to me the whole day. He didn't invite me to eat lunch and didn't even look at me when he left the office. I didn't know what's the matter with him.
Was it really that easy for him to put everything aside? My heart was shattered into a million pieces, thinking that Alex
I looked at Alexander with a complicated stare, but he glanced at me stoically. I couldn't read what was on his mind. I couldn't read his emotions either. "I saw you and your woman in the library. Is she your new lover? Is everything between us over? Or perhaps there's really no us? What Alex? Tell me!" I muttered angrily when he didn't respond. My heart rate sped up, afraid to hear his reply. What if he admitted that she's indeed his new lover, that we're really over? "Don't dare to leave because I can find you wherever you go." Alex threatened me. Then, he turned and went out of the room without ans
Alex was still standing in the center of the stage, waiting for the host to introduce his woman. I saw him looking in my direction. My heart skipped a beat. However, he quickly averted his gaze when our eyes met. As the host continued, I held my breath. My heart was pounding wildly in my chest. "I'm honored to announce that Mr. Ricafort would also like to introduce his fiancée." The crowd buzzed. Marga and Karen glanced at me. Fiancée? Did I hear it right? Alex would introduce his fiancée? Wait, maybe he didn't want to shock his people. That's why he would only introduce me as his fiancée, not his wife.
Alexander's POV Thanks to Robert, I didn't have a hard time telling Hannah about my real identity. I had the right moment and perfect opportunity to reveal it to Hannah. Although I didn't plan it that way, destiny led the way. When Hannah told me that she would visit her mom at the hospital, I agreed. Then, I asked two of my bodyguards to follow her secretly. Although I could monitor her location, I still wanted to ensure her safety. I only dismissed the bodyguards when they reported that Hannah was on her way home. However, when I noticed that her location was out of the way to the condo, I alerted my bodyguards and quickly followed where
I sat down beside the bed, gazing at Hannah's beautiful pale face. My heart was starting to waver, but my mind kept on reminding myself that she was the daughter of the persons behind my parents' death. I shouldn't feel this way. She didn't deserve any pity from me. I stood up and went out of the room. However, knowing that Hannah was just a wall away from me, I felt restless. So I decided to go home early that day. As I opened the door, I bumped into Liezel, my former secretary. "Apologies, M-Mr. Ricafort." She apologized. I noticed her face turned crimson.
When I woke up, I was already in my room inside my office. I instantly got up from the bed. My neck was still hurting. Then, I saw John sitting on the chair beside my bed. "Did you find Hannah?" I questioned impatiently as I got up from the bed. John shook his head. "We were not able to find her, Mr. Ricafort. So we checked the CCTV footage. You must watch this." He uttered as he handed me his phone. My brows creased, seeing that Hannah was taken away by a man. But the man's face could not be seen in the video since he was wearing a mask and a cap. "Did y
I miss you so much, Hannah. Finally, I heard some news about you. I uttered in my mind.I was so worried about her. I had no idea whoever took her away. I used my influence and power, but it's all useless. I failed to find her. All I could do was to pray that she's alright and hope that I could see her again.I regretted the days when I treated her harshly. I blamed myself that I was not able to protect her. If I proceeded with my plan to introduce her as my wife, she wouldn't have taken away from me."Hey, are you still with me?" David spoke, waving his hands in front of my face that snapped me out of
Hannah/Cassandra's POV Early in the morning, I got in my Mercedes-Benz to go to the Grand Opening Ceremony of the newest mall owned by my family. "Let's go, Mr. Ruiz," I uttered with a blank expression on my face. My voice was coldly monotonous but soft. As the car started to move, I gazed at myself in the rearview mirror. I had a glazed look in my eyes while my lips were tightly pressed. I smirked at myself. I could no longer see the naive Hannah. I am now Cassandra Walton. I didn't know if fate was p
Mr. Ruiz turned to me and announced. "Madam, someone blocked the road." "What?!" I blurted as I glanced at the road. Then, I saw Alex standing there. My brows automatically creased. What was he planning to do this time? Irritated, I hastily got out of my car to confront him. "Are you insane?" I exclaimed. Edge of annoyance creeping into my tone. "Yeah. I'm going to be insane without you, Hannah." He uttered as he grabbed my waist and drew me closer to him, making my heart skipped a beat. Nonetheless, I managed to retort back.
