Uhmm..Do I really need to go?" "Don't worry, love. Nothing's gonna happen. I swear. Besides, she can't hurt you when I'm here. Most especially, when he's there. He called us." "I know but…"my hesitations flew to the air as I sat on the sofa. I was sweating buckets despite the air conditioning. However, I felt him kneel in front of me, reaching my damp palms. "Please? Just for a little while…besides, I want to introduce the girl I love formally to that man. I want him to meet the girl that changed me for who I am right now. My most important person…" Rue uttered sweetly. I could feel the edges of my mouth forming into a smile on their own. Damn. This man, really. He definitely knows how to make me soft. If I could see right now, those puppy eyes of his would have greeted me. "Okay…" Having no other choice, we headed out to his car as he drove off to his family residence. During the ride, my heart was already palpitating like crazy. "Sir Rupert. Your father's expecting you. He's a

"Are you sure about this, Lia? I mean, I could ask somebody to fill in–""No. There's only one person that deserves that spot, Rue. It's only her. No one else.""I know that, love. But, it's been a year since you last saw her. I also went my way to search for her tracks but she just…disappeared." I shut my eyes tightly, remembering my last encounter with her. Certainly. It has already been a year since my last conversation with her. Back at that busy cafe, we always frequented before.My deaf best friend…"The wedding is in 3 days, Lia. I'm sure I could find someone to–" With a careful tone, Rue tried to persuade me once more yet I just shook my head. I understand his sentiments, but that day will be the most important day of my life. And I want the most important people to be there to witness it."No, Rue. It's either her or no one else. She's–one of the rare few I know among the crowd. My best friend. I don't care if there's no bridesmaids or anything. However, only she is fitting t

Alexander Kilmer. The eldest son of Bernard Kilmer. And also, Rue's half brother…Not once did I meet him but judging from the rumors circulating that man, he was truly a respectable one in the business field. As Kilmer's eldest and heir, he was said to be so brilliant in everyone's eyes, that my dear Rue was completely overshadowed by his achievements.The eldest…truly…I remembered what Rupert said before."I wasn't really born as a Kilmer, Lia. In fact, I only became one when I was ten, when my mother declared my true identity to my father, leaving him no choice but to accept me in his house.""The moment I entered the house, what greeted me first was neither the beautiful landscaping nor the fancy details of the gigantic mansion. Normally, as a kid who knew nothing but common life, it was supposed to be eye-catching. But no. Rather, the one who greeted me was a kid, just a few years older than me. Despite looking so angelic and innocent, his eyes were full of disgust and scorn, as h
The Broken Ring: Rewriting the Illegitimate Heiress' Fate Chapter 38: Reminiscence: Worsening Suspicions
My feet felt heavier than usual. Every step I took, brought forth the dread within me.There's…something wrong…I can definitely sense it…Reaching for my cane, I exited the cab and found myself on the busy entrance of the Kilmer Group head office. Murmurs circulated the moment I stepped foot inside the crowded lobby. Like always, insults flared whenever I bumped to anyone, though moments later, they distanced themselves, still aggravating the chatters.They definitely recognized me. After all, despite everyone's disapproval, they couldn't help but attend the wedding for image purposes. "Mrs, Kilmer?!" A shriek from the usually-composed Joanna, greeted me the moment I arrived at the floor where Rue's office was located. The heaviness in my chest felt heavier by her reaction."Hi Joanna…Is Rue inside?""Uhh…uhmm that–""What's wrong?""Ahh…Mr. Kilmer is c-currently sorting papers out!""Sorting? Isn't that your job?" I blatantly replied. Joanna stuttered, making me realize my tone was
The Broken Ring: Rewriting the Illegitimate Heiress' Fate Chapter 39: Reminiscence: Salted Wounds
"Who are you?" The words left a bitter taste out of my mouth. "Oh. I'm Eridessa Joseph. I don't know if you've heard of me but I'm a friend of your husband." Wait…I've heard that name before…isn't that the name of that famous model on the event earlier…? My breathing staggered. Realizing the identity of the unexpected person currently standing in front of me, my hands automatically reach for my robe, bringing the silk in a crisscross above my chest."What…why are you…with my husband…?" I asked, tone full of inquiry and confusion. My mind already made some theories but I want to hear it from her.I'm…feeling something off from her…"Oh. Don't misunderstand this, Mrs. Kilmer. I'm just here to drop Rupert. He kinda got wild on the drinks earlier." "...drinks? wild..?""He didn't tell you? I had an event earlier and he came to support. You know, friendly cheer, nothing significant. He stayed for the after party and he seemed to have relieved some stress out earlier, seeing him chug a

"I'll be gone for a while.""Gone? Wh-where are you going? And…for how long?" My brows twitched at his strange inquiry.How long, huh?"Don't worry. It'll just be for 5 months." I spoke blatantly, before taking a sip at my coffee. Contrasting my rather calm demeanor, Rue, on the other hand, was getting hysterical."Just 5 months?! That long?! Where…?""Don't worry. Sammy will take me out on a vacation. My grandfather gave him some free time and he wants to spend it with me. Pretty please? I miss him so much." Putting down my cup, I reached for his hands. The moment we touched each other's skin, I felt…repulsed. Disgusted, maybe? Ever since "that night", my system reacted differently whenever Rue came close. But, can I blame them? When starting that night, moans of pleasure kept disturbing my peace."Mr. Samuel, as in your family's butler?...Okay fine. Call me from time to time, okay? Ugh. I'm gonna miss you, though. Does it have to be that long?" I felt like throwing up, hearing the
The Broken Ring: Rewriting the Illegitimate Heiress' Fate Chapter 41: Reminiscence: It's Even Worse Than I Thought It Was
"Lacey! Where are you going this time?" My eyes automatically rolled when that irritating voice invaded my space again."Out. Duh…" I blurted out while packing my things, not giving a damn in anything she said. For sure, it'd be the same old lecture blah blah blah~"You wench! You can't just waltz out of here without permission! Your father sent you here for work, not for leisurely trips!"Ugh. This woman is so damn annoying!With a forceful push of my luggage, I turned towards her with my hand on my waist, giving her a glare."So? What are you gonna do about it? Snitch on me, again?""I'll gladly do so! Your father–""Here we go again. Your father blah blah blah~ hold on…what are you, my mother?" I gave a sarcastic laugh. This bitch was startled by what I just said. That's right. Bitch needs to learn her place."Oh? Cat got your tongue? Let me just remind you, Agatha, you're my father's SECRETARY. Not my stepmother or anything, okay? Got that clear on that tiny, little brain of your
The Broken Ring: Rewriting the Illegitimate Heiress' Fate Chapter 42: Reminiscence: Rotten to the Core
"C'mon bro. Brighten up. Don't be such a killjoy.""I can't man. Lia's waiting for me.""Tsk. Is it just me or the moment you married that woman, you ceased going to parties, hmm? Just what did you see with that woman?" I sighed in frustration before rolling my eyes. Damn it, this question, again?"Even if I list it for you, you won't get it, Hiro." I tried to get up and leave but this fucker just kept pulling back to sit. I wanted to get home fast. I want to break the news to Lia. To celebrate with her at home…I'm sure she'd be delighted when she hears about the big deal I just closed earlier. Ever since that guy passed away, Dad had no other choice but to leave all his work to me. I mean, who else would be qualified to take over? I know he was hesitant at first but I just needed to prove to him that he was wrong. That I am more capable than he initially thought.I admit, things got busier. I rarely come home and surely, Lia's lonely at home. Lacey isn't in the city to keep her com
