[KYLE] "Mrs. Kyle, your outstanding payment for Ms. Carroline Bertha's treatment has been paid in full."I frowned after hearing the hospital receptionist's words. Of course I was surprised. I didn't think I had paid off my mother's two-month medical bill. "Wait. I'm just about to pay now. Who paid for everything?" "The man behind you, Mrs. Kyle."Suddenly, I jerked my head back. At the same moment, I was even more surprised to see Joenathan already walking towards me slowly. For a few seconds I couldn't move or say anything. I was dumbfounded. So, Joenathan paid off my mother's medical bills? "You?" I was confused. "I apologize for not telling you earlier. You must be surprised," Joenathan said. "Wait. Why are you paying off my mother's medical bills? I didn't ask you to do that," I replied irritably. What was the point of Joenathan's action? He was so weird. After divorcing me four months ago just to be with Zeeva, now he was suddenly in front of me. Somehow he knew about

[JOENATHAN] "Did you success to make Kyle want to come back to you?" I snorted at Zeeva's question from the phone call. I remembered Kyle's attitude that chased me away, as well as the presence of the other man at the restaurant. Before I decided to come to this city, I had agreed with Zeeva to bring Kyle back. We wanted the child in Kyle's womb and made sure that Kyle had a son. This is the only way I can keep the company inherited from my grandfather. Moreover, Kyle's face closely resembles Zevanna's—I can fool my grandfather by making her my pretend wife."I failed to persuade her, Zeeva," I said uneasily. Zeeva also let out a frustrated sigh. "You have to persuade her, Darling. Otherwise, we can't convince your parents." "I know! But you didn't witness how Kyle kicked me out, and I even got slapped by her," I replied. Actually, my heart was throbbing with pain after getting slapped by Kyle. I really didn't expect her attitude to me have changed so drastically. Didn't Kyle

[KYLE] "It's been four months already. Aren't you going to tell Joenathan about your pregnancy?" I sat down with an exasperated sigh right after I delivered the food to the customer's table. Angela's question made me look at her in exasperation. "Could you please not mention the guy's name, Angela?" my snide reply to her question. Angela looked at me very seriously. She even changed her sitting position to face me. "Kyle, your belly is getting bigger. You need to ask Joenathan responsibility. Are you letting him have a happy marriage while you-""I'm happy, Angela. I don't need to ask him to come over or tell him about my pregnancy," I said, cutting Angela off. Angela was silent for a moment, somewhat dumbfounded. This wasn't the first time Angela had asked me to tell Joenathan about my pregnancy. Four months ago, since my divorce from Joenathan, I moved in with Angela. I was also helping her with the restaurant as well as earning a wage. In this remote town, I was lucky to ge

[JOENATHAN]"You've been married for four months, but why is Zeeva not showing any signs of pregnancy?Albertto, my father's question, made me and Zeeva look at each other. We had indeed been married for six months, but Zeeva had yet to getting pregnant. To be honest, Zeeva and I have of course having sex so many times. But until now, Zeeva hadn't gotten pregnant. I had a bad feeling even though I tried to calm myself down. "Soon, Robert, your grandfather, will be handing over the inheritance. You as the first son of the Dore Family must have a child to succeed the company," Albertto said. I looked at Zeeva, who was visibly upset, and took her hand. I tried to calm her down with a faint smile. "We've been trying to get Zeeva pregnant, Dad," I assured Albertto. "You have to make sure you have a son in order to get a big share of the inheritance, Robert," my mother Catherine said. "Can't you give the inheritance to Gerald's son?" I wondered. "Gerald does have a grandson, but he i

[KYLE] "Sign the contract. We're divorced." I'm instantly frozen when I heard Joenathan's words. On the table in front of my eyes, Joenathan placed a document. I could read there is 'Divorce Agreement' and the signature with Joenthan's name below it. "What do you mean?" I asked looking at Joenathan in disbelief. "Aren't my words clear? I want a divorce from you," Joenathan said firmly. I was still silent, trying to digest his words. Something sharp stabbed into my chest, making me tight. All words were stuck on my lips, nothing I could say to Joenathan. "Why are you still silent? I need your signature now!" Joenathan reprimanded me more sternly. "Why, Joe? We've been married for two years," I replied in a shaky voice. "Zeeva is back. I won't waste the chance to be with her after she's been missing all this time," Joenathan replied confidently. My bitter smile curved. That name, Zeeva, I still remembered it. I knew that Joenathan loved Zeeva, his fiancée who had been missing f
