Thinking of her
Chapter 30 Ren POV"Shit!" I curse under my breath and recline on my chair as her image replay in my head for the umpteenth time. Just why the fuck can't I get her image off my head? She has been living in my head since I saw her like that yesterday. Just what the fuck is going on? The sound of the knock on the door pulls my attention, and I raise my gaze to find her standing there with a heap of files in her hand. The once disgusting Lilian now looks so sexy in my eyes, and I can't seem to stop myself from thinking about her. Did she cast a spell on me for fuck's sake? "Come in," I usher her in, and the door opens as she walks in elegantly. Her robust body is graced in a black suit and her hair is falling freely over her shoulders as usual. She has very light makeup on her face, and she looks extremely beautiful, or maybe it's just me hallucinating. "Good morning, Sir. Here's your schedule for the week, and the files you asked me to get for you," She says as she drop

Worried about him
Chapter 31 Nate POV'Can you give me your number? I just want us to be in touch, and nothing else' her words replay in my head as I sit in the lobby while waiting for the doctor to send for me. I have been here for over twenty minutes, but the doctor seems to still be busy with some patients in the ward, so I was asked to wait for him in the lobby. 'I'm sorry about everything, Nate' I sigh deeply as her words ring in my head again. Why the hell can't I still get that out of my head no matter how much I try to? This is annoying and driving me crazy. Still lost in thoughts, my phone suddenly starts ringing and I quickly remove it from the pocket of my jacket where it has been hiding since, and checking the screen, I can't help the smile that spread on my lips upon seeing Lilian's name displayed on the screen. We haven't talked since yesterday, and I'm sure she must've been worried about me. "Hey! I have been calling you since yesterday but you didn't answer my call. Do

Defended myself
Chapter 32Lilian POV An awkward silence assumes the air as he drives down the road, and I stare out through the window. Gosh! I shouldn't have allowed him to drive me in his car because it makes me feel so uncomfortable right now, especially after what happened back there. I was in the office when I called him and had to rush down here when I learned that he was sick. Thank goodness that Ren left the office briefly, so I got the chance to leave the office. "Thanks for coming... It means a lot to me," He suddenly breaks the awkward silence, and I nod my head without sparing him a glance because I'm so embarrassed right now. Recalling how he embraced me back there just now makes me feel like disappearing into thin air right now. "I'm sorry for not telling you that I was sick... I didn't want to bother you," He says, and I can't help but turn my gaze to look at me unbelievably. Is he being serious right now? How can he say such a thing? He has been there for me, he has s

Internet chaos
Chapter 33 Ren POV'Why did you have to come into my sister's life, you bastard? Because of you, she's suffering now. Are you happy about it? Are you happy that her own mom now hates her because of you?' Tyler's words echo in my head for the umpteenth time as I drive down the road, and I hit my hand on the steering wheel. 'Do you know what she has been going through because she called off the engagement between you two? You are nothing but a monster that wants nothing but to hurt my sister. I am warning you, Ren... Stay the hell away from Tracy if you don't want to get on my bad side, not that you haven't before anyway' I felt so guilty that I couldn't even utter a word. I felt so horrible and less of a man that I sat down there and watch him rain insults on me. You weren't expecting me to react, were you? It was all my fault after all. She wouldn't have been so mad at me if I was not being a jerk, so what the hell should I have done? Fight him? Talk back at him? That will onl

I am not your slave
Ren POV"What did you say?" I itch my ears to be sure I heard her right. "What? Do you think of yourself as a human? You're nothing, but a monster! Look at the post online, who is getting all the insults? Who is getting bullied there?" She yells at me as more tears stream down her cheeks. Her eyes are red with rage in them, and I can't deny the fact that I'm confused right now. Is this the same Lilian I know, or it's someone else posing to be her? "Lilian..." "What? 'She irritates me'... 'Of all women out there, why does he have to settle for less?'... 'She's so ugly. I can't even stand her'. They are saying all those words to me. I am a human too, Ren..." She pauses and scoffs as she flips her hair backward before she continues, "I deserve to be treated like one, and I won't have you, or anyone else treat me like a piece of trash, ever again! If you're scared of your reputation, then deal with it. I won't have you say trash to me anymore!" "What? Are you shocked? You

Commiting suicide
Lilian POV'I am not your slave, Ren... I am not your slave!' those words replay in my head for the umpteenth time, and I hit my back head lightly to be sure my brain is still there, because what the fuck! Where the hell did those words come from? Where the hell did the gut come from? "We're here, ma'am," The cabby's voice pulls me out of my train of thought, and I quickly alight from the car and pay him. I watch as he drives away before I turn and head toward the bridge. This place is quiet as always and will be nice to calm my head here. Leaning over the rail of the bridge, I take a deep breath and try to clear my head, but nothing is coming through. Who could've uploaded those pictures on the internet? My phone suddenly starts ringing, and I bring it out of my pocket. It's Nate. "Where the hell are you, Lilian?" His voice sounds through the phone as soon as I answer the call, and I bite my bottom lip. Should I tell him where I am? I want to be alone and clear my he

He saved her
Chapter 36 Ren POVDriving down the road, I can't help but keep wondering what I came here for. Why did I save her? Shouldn't I just have left her to die? Not that she is important to me, anyway. I glance at her for the umpteenth time, but her attention is outside the window, and I bet she has tears in her eyes. Well, wondering how I knew she was there? After the incident, I tried to call her but she ignored my call. I don't know why I decided to track her location, and finding out later that she was at the bridge, I felt she would do something stupid, which was why I had to rush down here. "Why did you show up? Shouldn't you have just let me die?" Her voice breaks the dead silence in the car, and I glance at her to see her staring into space with tears streaming down her cheeks. I don't know why I have suddenly become soft toward her over these few days, and it makes me feel weird. "Are you stupid? You were going..." "To me, that is the best... Am I not a patheti

Met his sister
Chapter 37 Two weeks later Lilian POV The past two weeks have been so choked up for me, and guess who has been indoors because of the fear of being attacked by reporters? Well, it's me. Quick one, I never imagined Ren is a celebrity that would have many fans on social media. I'm sure you wouldn't be interested in the insults I've been getting all these while. Even after the pictures of me making an attempt on my life went viral, nobody pitied me, they didn't give a damn about what happened to me, all they care about is my appearance. The sound of my ringing phone pulls my attention, and I lazily reach out for it. It's Ren. "Meet me in the living room," His voice sounds through the phone as soon as I answer the call, and the call drops dead afterward. "What happened?" I mumble as I get off the bed and advance toward the door. Have I mentioned how Ren has been strangely nice to me recently? I don't know what came over him, but he hasn't bullied me in a while, and h

Went on a date with her brother
Chapter 38Tracy POV "What the hell do you think you are doing, Tracy?" Tyler yells at the top of his voice as he barges into my room and finds me sitting on the floor with a bottle of alcohol in my hand. Guess who has been drinking the past few days? Well, it's me. How the hell am I not supposed to drink when my life is messed up? My parents who are supposed to be protecting me suddenly abandoned me and hated me because I refused to be with the man they want me with. Who does that to their child? "I am talking to you, Tracy. What the fuck are you doing to yourself?" Tyler yells for the second time, snatching the bottle from me. "I told you to leave me the hell alone, Tyler... I told you to mind your business and let me be, didn't I?" I yell at him, as I manage to stand up to my feet, but I stagger and fall to the bed as tears stream down my eyes. "Are you out of your mind? Do you want to kill yourself..." "What do you care? What the fuck do you care if I choose t

Fought for her
Chapter 39 Ren POV "You're taking this too far, Rena. You didn't have to do this," I whine angrily, running my fingers through my hair. Guess who my sister forced out on a date with Lilian? Well, that person is me. Sitting here with my sister and waiting for Lilian who just excused herself moments ago to go to the restroom, I can't help but feel suffocated. Are you wondering why Rena had to come with us? I insisted that I was not coming, and she had to come with us to be sure that I really came here with Lilian. "Can you just behave yourself and stop being annoying? You're going to scare her away, and come to think of what people will say about you? They will say that the perfect-looking Ren on TV is bullying how wife..." "Point of correction, Rena, she is not my wife..." "You married her at the villa, sweetheart," She reminds me, and I sigh briefly. I guess I'm just going to feel frustrated if I keep on arguing with her. I should just do the shit we came here
