There was a knock on my door, so I let her in. Camari opened the door and announced the arrival of Isaac and Carlos. I got down from my chair and approached them. Camari served drinks and food before leaving.Carlos had a very bright face as he handed me a thick brown envelope. I smiled as I shook my head slowly at his behavior. I glanced at Isaac for him to give the contract to Carlos. We simultaneously opened our materials.I didn't know what it was to die of shock. I only knew dying of fear. My childhood experience made me understand that feeling. However, the information I was reading was the kind of shock that could take my life.I looked at Carlos, who was looking at me with concern. I looked back at the paper in my hand. My ten fingers felt stiff, but I held the paper well. I was relieved when Jasper took it from my hand.“Sorry, I didn't know your reaction would be like this. If I had known, I would have warned you first,” Carlos said, feeling guilty.I shook my head. “There's

52|Her Own Medicine
[Camari]Gosh. I was furious! That couldn't be allowed anymore! I moved too slowly. That was why she thought I didn't dare to retaliate. Okay. If she wanted a war, then she would get a war.Having someone push me at an event with media coverage was my last straw. She would have continued to misbehave if I had kept quiet. I didn't want to become a laughingstock. It was enough that people thought I was the third person in her relationship with Farrell.“O, my goodness. So, Bella planned that incident?” Jasmine asked incredulously.Even though we were both busy with work, she insisted on having lunch together. Of course, she wanted to discuss the incident that was covered by the media. The news about me almost falling down the stairs went viral.Fortunately, my parents and Grandpa were still on vacation. They didn't see the news. Hopefully, they never will. I didn't want to make them worry about me.“I'll pay her back tonight, Jasmine.” I looked at her gravely.She leaned closer. “How? C

53|Broken Vow
Grandpa took both my hands and brought them onto his lap. He sighed, then raised his head and looked at me sadly. Seeing his demeanor, I was getting worried. What bad news was he going to tell me?The words he said weren't a secret anymore. Other than me, everyone knew it was going to happen. However, hearing the news from others or the media sounded different from hearing it directly from a trusted source.“Farrell and Bella are getting married.” He stared at me intently, watching my reaction. “I'm sorry. I had to allow them to get married because Bella is pregnant.”That last word sounded like a hammer blow hard to my head. My chest ached terribly to hear it. Bella was pregnant. That was my dream. Farrell hadn't touched me during our three years of marriage, but he did with Bella.“Camari, are you okay?” asked Grandpa, breaking my reverie.“Oh.” I smiled at him. “I'm fine. What about you? Are you okay?” It wasn't just me. The news must have shaken him, too.“Your parents and I talke

54|Get Away
[Otis]Dorothy widened her eyes as soon as I mentioned the name. She wouldn't have reacted if she hadn't known about it. It answered one of my suspicions, but I didn't know what her connection to him was.However, I was sure she knew about Cattleya's pregnancy. That meant I was the only one who didn't know. I wasn't angry with Cattleya for hiding her pregnancy. That was her right. My family shouldn't have done that. What else did they manipulate about the autopsy results?Dorothy chuckled. “He didn't hide but never existed in this world. Those are two different things, Brother. Unfortunately, you appear for weeks, the world still doesn't care about you.”“How long did Cattleya survive before you killed her?” I asked, ignoring her attempt to change the subject.“I don't understand your question.” Dorothy shrugged her shoulders casually. “You can get the child's name. Why don't you find out the rest of the information yourself?”“You're not human,” I accused her sharply. “I finally unde

55|The Announcement
[Camari]My head hurt like hell. Nicole gave me some painkillers, but they didn't help. Why did people like to drink so much when the effects in the morning were like this? I was so stupid! I could have cried all night. What was the point of getting drunk to forget the problem?'This is the last time, Camari. Don't do it again!' I had to keep reminding myself not to drink too much. Brad had warned me, but I just ignored him.I couldn't handle practicing with Jasper. So, I just sat in the front room looking at the television. Nicole brought me a light breakfast. Fortunately, I didn't vomit when I woke up earlier. Only my head felt like it was going to burst.I hope I didn't do anything stupid last night because I couldn't remember anything other than drinking at the bar. I couldn't remember how I got to the apartment and slept in my bed. I was embarrassed to ask Nicole about it because I was giving her a hard time.Looking at the announcement on the latest news program, I sighed. Final

56|The Last Warning
“Wow, Miss Gastrell! I'm glad to hear my student managed to use all the basic skills I taught her,” Jasper proudly expressed.My face heated up. “Don't make fun of me, Jasper. I'm not that great. Fighting Bella wasn't that hard." I waved my hand, rejecting his praise.“You not only fought Bella, you evaded her guards perfectly,” he praised again. “We'll focus on self-defense and dodging attacks this week. But next week, I'll teach you some moves for offense.”“Really?” I looked at him expectantly.“You're going on vacation to Hawaii. Nicole can't protect you and Jasmine all the time like yesterday. So, you need some basic moves to attack your opponent,” he explained.“I can protect Miss Gastrell,” Nicole protested. “That assh*le woman's bodyguard was keeping me busy. So I couldn't protect her."“Isn't that what I said earlier? You can't always protect Miss Gastrell,” Jasper repeated.“Can you behave in front of Camari?” reprimanded Otis. Both of them fell silent.We were having breakf

57|Suspicious Behavior
[Otis]“These are the files you asked for.” Camari placed several folders on my desk. “Is there anything else I can help you with?” She smiled.“No. You can return to your desk,” I replied.She excused herself and then walked out of my office. I glanced at Jasper as the door closed. He shrugged his shoulders, unwilling to comment. Camari had been looking lethargic the past few days. Even when she smiled, it didn't show happiness.Had something happened that Nicole hadn't reported? Or was she acting this way because of Farrell and Bella's wedding? She was fine when Bella came to her and tried to hurt her. However, she changed after Farrell's visit. Nicole disagreed it was the cause.My only hope is her vacation to Hawaii. After having a good time with her best friend, she'll come home better. She should visit her parents on Farrell and Bella's wedding day to avoid being sad.Dinner with my colleague went well. He seemed uncomfortable talking to me. Since it was our first meeting, I tri

58|Unforgettable Vacation
[Camari]“Finally!!!” cheered Jasmine excitedly. “We're at the beach!”I just shook my head as I watched her run toward the shore. We arrived in Honolulu an hour ago. Our flight was smooth, and the plane landed safely. The distance between the airport and the hotel was pretty close. So, we checked in, stored our luggage, and came here in no time.Jasmine couldn't wait to touch the sand. I let her do what she wanted while I stared far out to sea. I hadn't seen nature in a long time. In the three years I was married to Farrell, we didn't travel.I didn't even remember taking a vacation while working at Bloom Enterprise. I was a workaholic to show my parents what I could do. I wanted them to be proud of me and appoint me as Dad's successor without hesitation.“I'm hungry. Come on, let's eat.” Jasmine took my hand and pulled me towards the hotel.“I thought you'd keep playing with sand and building castles until bedtime,” I teased.She laughed. “I have three more days to play in the sand a

59|Guilty or Grateful
I felt terrible since discussing her with Jasmine at work. I regret not forgiving her mistake that night. Even though what she did was evil, I understood her. Thankfully, I met her in this place.“Hi, Emily!” Jasmine and I replied. We approached her. “Are you on vacation alone?” asked Jasmine.“I'm not. I'm with my parents and family.” She pointed at the group inside the store. “Are you two on vacation together?”“Yes. Since Camari's single again, I invited her to look for a man in this place,” Jasmine admitted.“And Jasmine was the lucky one,” I added.“Emily, are they your friends?” a woman asked. We turned to her.“Yes, Mom,” Emily replied.“Hi, Mrs. McFadden. Hi, Mr. McFadden,” Jasmine and I greeted the couple.We chatted for a while, introducing ourselves. Emily’s parents encouraged her to leave with us. Her mother would continue the activities with the rest of their family. We welcomed the suggestion and took Emily with us.“Are you serious that I'm not intruding?” asked Emily,

60|Obedient Ex
She chose a restaurant, so I followed her car into the parking lot. I turned to Nicole, who had parked her motorcycle not far from me. I walked into the restaurant with her.Unlike the previous conversation, the waiter took me to a room. It seemed like the woman had something secret she wanted to discuss with me. I sat down and didn't order anything when the waiter asked. He excused himself after asking us to wait for the order to be delivered.“Well? What do you want to talk to me about?” I asked, seeing her only stare at me. ”Don't get mad because I'm having dinner at Grandpa's house. He invited me to announce your son’s wedding with his true love.”“I regret the meeting, but I'm more disappointed with how you caught Farrell's attention.” She looked intently at my clothes and hair. “So, is this my son's weakness?”I laughed amusedly. “What? What you're looking at is not Farrell's weakness that I mentioned the other night, Eleanor, but his favorite.”“I should have realized you were w
