He actually had a hint that Adira had been secretly buying clothes for him, but he had no idea they were thisHe extended his hands and grazed his fingers over the soft fabrics.

Nikolai made up his mind to go back to the room and see what was going on. He was about to leave the car when he spotted Jared coming out. Finally.He had a smile on his face—a kind of smile that screamed victorious—and that rankled Nikolai. Why would he be looking that way after leaving Adira? She was his wife. No other man should have such a look on his face after leaving her.His eyes followed him as he headed for his car and rode out of the building."Abel," he called out to his guard at the front seat."Sir.""Tell our spy to keep a close eye on Jared from now on. If he's seen meeting with Adira at any time,I need to know.""Yes, sir."****†****†****†****†"Why don't you take his calls?" Mrs. Rowena asked as she decanted some coffee into two mugs.A little of it spilled on the table by the time she was done, and she reached for a napkin to wipe it off."I want to, mom," Jardine said, shaking her head.

It's been almost a week. Adira was finally well and ready to be discharged. That morning, she sat on the bed while Bonnie packed up her things. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she thought of all that had happened during her stay in the hospital. Two days ago, Lancelot's mother actually sent her a text. In her words: "I was so worried about you, dear. I hope you're strong and better now. A shameless woman she was. Adira couldn't believe it didn't matter to her that she had caused an issue between Lancelot and Jardine. Of course, she should be aware, but typical Winslet would never care. She was too money-minded and didn't care if the other was hurting. And she must be stupid to think Adira will ever forget all she went through in her hands. It was only the beginning. She was bound to destroy her family. "I'm done, ma'am," Bonnie announced to her, standing with the bags beside her. Adira nodded and was about to leave the bed when a nurse walked in. "Good morning, ma'am. There are a

Vesper perched on a stool at the sleek bar counter, the dim light casting a shadow over his brooding figure. With a half-empty bottle in hand, he took another long sip, loving how the liquid ignited a simmering warmth within him.Although, he wasn't drunk, his once bright orbs now held a reddish tinge. And the lines of his face etched deeper, tracing a map of untold stories and hidden pain.That was all he could do at the moment - drink and drink. The bar had become his sanctuary."Always drinking alone, huh?" He suddenly heard a strange voice and cocked his head to see a lady taking the seat beside him.She was a young pretty lady with the prettiest smile he's seen in a while. But she didn't look familiar in any way.It was Kalina. She's been following him for some days now and decided to show herself to him that evening."Always?" Vesper arched his brows. "How do you know it's always?"She chuckled. "Well, I've seen you a couple of times at this bar. Let's just say... you've been th

Adira's eyes gently fluttered open, the soft rays of the morning sun embracing her. For a long time, she remained still in bed, trying to comprehend the heaviness that settled upon her mind. Why was she having some confusing visions?She shut her eyes tight, trying to piece together the fragments of her memories from the previous night. She knew she had been very drunk. Yes, her mother's news had weakened her and made her turn to drinking, but why did she feel something else had happened? Something... strange?'What is wrong with you?' She gasped when she heard that voice in her head. That was Nikolai!She sat up immediately, trying to clearly see the images and how he had joined her at the bar counter. Yes, she could remember.

Adira moved away from the door immediately as she turned to see Nikolai. Did he know her?   "Nikolai!" The lady's eyes crinkled in a smile as she made her way into the house, her shoulder brushing pass Adira. Excitement was all over her.   "My goodness! Look at you. You're even more handsome than the last time we met." She rubbed her palms together.   Adira could tell she wanted badly to hug him, but it was obvious she was aware of his hatred for touch. So, who was she to him? A friend? Why's she with a luggage?   Surprise etched the lines of Nikolai's face. "What're you doing here? We didn't talk about this."   "Uh! I know," she tucked some strands of hair behind her ear. "I actually wanted it to be a surprise. How're you doing?"   But Nikolai didn't look satisfied.

Wasn't that the Lyra she knew?The family paid homage to Mr. Thatcher, flashing pleasant smiles at him - except Nikolai, of course. Man wouldn't smile to save his life."We've all been waiting for you, father. It's a good thing you're here to join us," Mrs Bellamy said, joining to assist him to sit at the head of the table.The whole time, Adira's eyes were on the young lady. She looked prettier and richer. Her hair was smoothly brushed into a fine ponytail, and her face held very light makeup. She had a very short gown on which revealed most of her thighs."Lyra?" She finally voiced out, attracting eyes to her direction.That was the first time the young lady also saw her, and for a second, shock flashed right through her eyes."Yes?"
