"What? Bella ran away from home?!"Julia shouted angrily. She was furious after receiving news from Clara that Bella was not in her room and was not found anywhere in the house. Confirming that Bella had escaped made Julia furious."Why are you so careless, Clara? I paid you well to take care of and watch over Bella. But now what? That slut has escaped from my house. If this continues, I can't ensure whether the baby in her womb is alive or not!"Clara felt uneasy seeing Julia so consumed by anger. Although last night she made sure that Bella was asleep. She never expected the woman to act so recklessly. Moreover, after taking the abortion pills, Bella's condition should have been weak and unstable.However, when she went to Bella's room this morning, Clara did not find the woman there. She deliberately checked the CCTV and saw Bella's movements and what she was doing, it could be concluded that she deliberately ran away from home."I apologize, Madam. I admit that I have truly neglec
Kairos reassures Bella that her mother is safe and being protected by his men to prevent any harm. Bella feels relieved and grateful for Kairos's help. She asks if she can contact her mother immediately."Of course, Bella. I never restrict or forbid you from contacting your mother. You can even meet her if you want. I can escort you and accompany you. Or do you want me to bring your mother here?"Bella shakes her head, declining Kairos's offer. Even though Kairos is serious about his offer, Bella feels pity seeing her visibly worried and fearful. Perhaps meeting her mother directly could ease her worries."No... it's not necessary, Kairos. I can't meet my mother directly."Kairos furrows his brows, confused."Why not?"Bella takes a moment to inhale deeply before answering his question to satisfy Kairos's curiosity."My mother would be shocked or maybe hurt if she sees me pregnant like this. She thinks I'm working far away, so it's not possible to meet directly."Kairos nods understan
"I think I should immediately find out where Bella is."After getting dressed and ready for work, Edward, who was still sitting on the couch, spoke to Julia, who was busy applying makeup to her face.The beautiful woman immediately turned. Then she stared at Edward while shaking her head repeatedly. It was as if she was signaling for Edward not to do what he had just said."No need, dear," Julia said.Edward looked confused. Why was Julia stopping him from searching? After all, Bella had clearly run away, carrying a baby in her belly, which incidentally was the result of IVF using Edward and Julia's genes.Was it because Julia was still angry with Bella for what had happened before? Or---"No," Julia shook her head. "What I mean is, you don't need to search anymore. I've already instructed someone to find Bella's whereabouts. So, you don't have to bother spending money to pay someone to find that cursed woman!"Edward nodded in understanding. It seemed his wife had already deployed pe
"For a God Shake, Kairos. Where did you come from?"This evening, after work, Kairos invited Edward and Samuel to meet at one of their favorite coffee shops. They relaxed, chatted, and caught up, especially since Kairos knew Edward had been looking for him lately."I told you I went to Italy. Why are you still searching?" Kairos responded casually to Edward's words."What I really need is your help," Edward said.Kairos laughed. He responded casually to Edward's statement. "What help do you need? Do you want to marry Bella?"Kairos deliberately provoked, just wanting to know what Edward would tell him next."No, Kairos. It seems I won't be able to marry Bella," Edward replied.Kairos was startled. "Why? Are you afraid of Julia?"Edward laughed bitterly. "Julia even knows about the affair Bella and I had. Julia is furious and threatens to torment Bella if I insist on leaving, let alone divorcing her.""And you chose to go back to Julia and let Bella go?" Kairos asked incredulously.Edw
"Are you feeling much more comfortable now?" Kairos asked Bella. This morning, they were indeed enjoying breakfast together. Although it felt incredibly awkward, from now on Kairos was trying to get used to it. He wanted to make Bella feel comfortable and not stressed while staying with him. If necessary, Kairos would help Bella forget and erase Edward's name from her memory."I'm okay, Kairos. Thank you for all the help you've given me. I swear, I don't know how to repay you. I feel bad about it."Kairos smiled faintly. He understood what Bella was feeling right now."If it makes you feel bad, just give it to the cat.""Huh?" Bella was confused by Kairos's joke."Besides," Kairos continued. "Don't hesitate or feel bad. I'm doing this purely because I want to help you."Bella nodded. She was very grateful in her heart for what Kairos had done for her."But, someday, I promise I'll repay your kindness. You can hold me to my word."Kairos just laughed. He invited Bella to continue enjoy
Julia threw a meaningful smile. In a tangled position, the beautiful woman moved freely on top of Santiago's body. Trying to satisfy and provide comfort. And she swore not to stop until Santiago surrendered willingly.Somehow, this was the nth time they played. But, by God, Julia and Santiago both didn't feel tired at all. Like addicts, they both enjoyed each other's company. Even taking turns to satisfy each other.Actually, this was what Julia loved most when making love with Santiago. Besides giving satisfaction, she was also treated tenderly and ensured to feel just as satisfied and happy.Very different from making love with Edward, where she had to be aggressive and constantly provide satisfaction to him. Even with Aaron, though the man was more active, Julia couldn't feel repeated satisfaction and prolonged pleasure like what Santiago did."Don't fool around like that, Julia."Santiago reprimanded while holding onto Julia's hips. He seemed amused seeing Julia teasing him all th
"What's the reason you invited me out?"Edward was about to leave when Kairos suddenly stopped by his office and invited him to go out with him."I want to treat you to dinner, Edward."Edward raised an eyebrow. He sensed something suspicious. Usually, when Kairos was nice, he surely had a hidden agenda or wanted something from him."Suspicious. What do you really want? Just be honest."Kairos chuckled. He shook his head in disbelief at Edward's suspicion."Oh, Edward Darkwood. How can you suspect me like this?""Usually when you're nice, you surely have a motive.""I'm not trying to ask for anything from you right now. I'm inviting you to dinner as an apology for being difficult to reach when you needed help some time ago."Edward sighed. He found Kairos's reason trivial. That's why he still looked incredulous."God, I'm serious," Kairos reassured. "I just want to take you out for dinner. Nothing more. I promise I won't ask for anything. Especially not for shares in your company. You
Of all those his age or peers, Kairos was notorious for being rebellious, uncontrollable, a playboy, brave, firm, and undoubtedly the wealthiest.Though he often changed partners, Kairos never toyed with women's hearts. He never gave false hope, let alone sought benefits for his own interests.That's why, seeing Edward being foolish, stubborn, and indecisive in making decisions, made Kairos instantly annoyed and eager to teach his friend a lesson.Not only once, Kairos had warned Edward several times not to associate with Julia. But instead of listening, Edward foolishly married the woman. And now, Kairos's words proved true. He repeatedly found the woman cheating and fooling around behind Edward's back.For heaven's sake, initially, Kairos wanted to help Edward. But the more he saw his friend unchanged and continuously acting foolishly, Kairos felt disgusted. He thought he might as well teach his friend a lesson that he might never forget in his lifetime."Have you gotten information
