Chapter: Chapter 10Benjamin rang the doorbell after he finished his call. Kathleen was standing inside when the door opened. She had just finished her shower, and her face was still pale. “I bought some pizza.” Benjamin did not know how to react when he saw Kathleen's expression. They felt awkward meeting each other because they had experienced the same trauma. “Thank you.” Kathleen took a step back and allowed Benjamin to enter. Benjamin walked to the table and put down the pizza in his hand. “It's still hot. Eat up.” “Gemma went to work the night shift.” Kathleen pursed her lips. “I didn't expect her to become a nurse. She's amazing.” Benjamin froze for a moment. “Nothing is amazing about it. There are many nurses out there who are better than her.” Kathleen shook her head. “She's really amazing, especially after that matter.” “Have you been doing well?” Benjamin asked in a hoarse voice. “Yes.” Kathleen took her seat. Benjamin took a cigarette box out of his pocket. Kathleen hesitated bef

Chapter: Chapter 9“That won't be necessary. Old Mrs. Macari is in poor health, so it would be better if you don't tell her, lest she worry for me,” Kathleen said. “Have you been alone throughout the years?” Gemma hung her head low as she sat beside Kathleen. “I suppose,” Kathleen replied. “You suppose? What does that mean?” Gemma was confused. Kathleen smiled ruefully. Ever since marrying Samuel, she was mostly alone even though it seemed as if they lived together. “Kathleen, you're quite lucky. You at least have Old Mrs. Macari.” Gemma sounded depressed. “My brother and I are different. Neither of us was of legal age. Nobody wanted to adopt the both of us together, so we were forcefully separated when adopted by different families.” “So that was what happened.” Kathleen pulled her lips into a thin line. “Jeez, why am I even telling you this?” Gemma's expression reverted to its former state. “I need to go to a night shift at the hospital later on. You take care.” “It's fine. I'll leave after g

Chapter: Chapter 8“Why aren't you driving? Isn't Nicolette waiting for you?” Kathleen asked coldly. Samuel had wanted Kathleen to take the front passenger seat, but he changed his mind when he heard what she said and started the engine. Neither of them spoke a word on the way home. The atmosphere in the car crackled with tension. Samuel felt that it was all Kathleen's fault. If she had behaved like she was before, they would not have argued. Halfway through the journey, Samuel's phone rang. It was Nicolette again. “What did you say? I'll go over immediately.” Samuel suddenly stopped the car and turned to Kathleen. “Get down. I'll ask Tyson to come and take you home.” Kathleen refused to move. “Get down.” “It's almost twelve. Are you going to leave a girl here all by herself?” Kathleen's heart wrenched. “Tyson will be here in five minutes.” Kathleen felt a sickening lurch in her heart. Her face was drained of color. Biting her lip, she got out of the car. “Five minutes. Tyson will be here

Chapter: Chapter 7Kathleen was shocked. She turned around and saw Christopher. “Oh, Christopher, it's you.” Christopher smiled. “Did something happen between you and Samuel?” “Why do you think so?” Kathleen blinked innocently. She had tender features with a pair of eyes that sparkled. “The Yoegers told me Nicolette's back.” Christopher was very straightforward. The smile on Kathleen's face slowly faded. “So everyone knows about it already.” Everyone in the Yoeger family knew that Kathleen was married to Samuel. Though Rose Yoeger, the legitimate daughter of the Yoeger family, did not like Nicolette, she liked Samuel. She had turned up at Samuel and Kathleen's wedding and insulted Kathleen, saying the latter was overestimating herself for thinking she could turn her life around by being a replacement. Back then, Kathleen had indeed overestimated herself. She had thought that she could turn her unlucky life around. However, life is not something a person can control. When Christopher saw Kat

Chapter: Chapter 6Samuel didn't deny it. Kathleen was both furious and frustrated. However, because of her appearance, she didn't look intimidating at all even though she was angry. “Samuel, you'd better listen up,” she said as she looked at him seriously. Her red cheeks were obvious on her fair skin, the straps of her shirt were loose, and her slender legs were exposed. It was a beautiful scene. Samuel narrowed his eyes at her as his gaze darkened. “What did you just call me?” “Samuel.” Kathleen was angry, and she felt that she was intimidating enough. Nonetheless, it wasn't the case in Samuel's eyes. To him, she was the same as an angry white kitten with fur erect. “I'm not that kind of person who goes back on my promise! I'm fine that you wish to get a divorce. I just didn't want to trigger Grandma since she's not feeling well. So of course I wouldn't tell on her because of that!” Kathleen said angrily, her eyes red. How could he doubt me like this? When Samuel saw that she was really mad,

Chapter: Chapter 5Kathleen did not respond, but Wynnie was well aware because she knew her son very well. Wynnie did not understand why her son was so into Nicolette. Every time she was around, he would devote all his attention to her, not caring anything else. She did not discriminate against Nicolette's background and upbringing but because her actions were undignified. “Why don't you go back to your room to rest? I'll call Samuel and ask him to come back,” said Wynnie calmly. Kathleen pursed her lips and replied, “Okay.” After that, she turned to leave. Wynnie watched her leave and sighed. If only Kathleen isn't so thoughtful. I'll stand up for her if she cries. Wynnie took out her phone and called Samuel, “I don't care what you're busy with now, but I want you to get your ass home this instance!” She hung up after saying that, and Samuel frowned. Wynnie was evidently angry, judging from her tone. Could it be that Kathleen told Grandma? Samuel became upset, and his eyes darkened. Nicole

Too Late To Regret : Married To My Ex’s Uncle
At Trevor and Amber's wedding, the elusive and powerful head of the Levine Group, Sebastian Levine, made a grand appearance, one arm wrapped possessively around a woman's waist.
A trace of mockery curved his lips as he apologized, "I'm sorry. My wife and I are late." Trevor couldn't believe his eyes.
The woman he'd cast aside only two months ago
,his former fiancée-had become his uncle's wife?!
One night, half-drunk and unwilling to let go, Trevor called Serena, hoping to win her back.
Over the phone, his voice was low, stripped of arrogance and edged with desperation.
"Serena... can we start over? Please. I really miss you."
Sebastian's gaze turned icy as he took the call, his voice cold and cutting. "Calling your aunt at three in the morning, have you lost your mind?" Disturbed from her sleep, the woman frowned and let out a soft, displeased murmur.
Trevor then heard his stern, aloof uncle soften instantly, coaxing her with indulgent affection.
"Good girl... come here. Let me hold you while you sleep."

Chapter: 008: Do you want me to come and bring you up ?Serena arrived at the law firm early that morning. "Serena, you finally made it. The boss has been furious all morning; everyone's been waiting for you to put out the fire," her assistant, Avery Cox, whispered close to her ear. "The case Lily and Shawn handled in court yesterday completely fell apart." Serena flashed an OK sign and knocked before heading into the conference room. "Come in." The moment she pushed the door open, she saw Lily Marshall and Shawn Yonge looking utterly defeated, while Eugene Beaumont sat there looking livid, clearly too angry to bother speaking. "Serena, you're here," Eugene said at last. "How did the first hearing go yesterday for that guarantee contract dispute with Sterling Capital you were handling?" Serena took her seat. "It went smoothly, Boss. The other party has already expressed interest in settling." "Very good." Eugene nodded. "The two of you should learn from Serena. Then, I wouldn't need to take blood pressure pills every day. Alr

Chapter: 007: Mind Your Own BussinessA sharp slap landed across Serena's cheek. "I dare you to try!" Her head snapped to the side, her cheek burning hot with pain. Serena lifted her eyes and stared straight back at Donald. "Oh, yeah? You think I wouldn't dare? He doesn't love me. I don't want to marry him anymore. Is that not allowed?" Donald's chest heaved with fury. "Love? What's love worth? Do you have any idea that my company is at a life-or-death crossroads right now? As long as you obediently marry into the Levine family, we'll naturally be saved. If you don't, then we just wait for bankruptcy." He had no sons to his name—both of his marriages had resulted in daughters. The younger one at least knew how to sweet-talk him and keep him happy. But this eldest daughter of his was stubborn to the bone. Serena tugged at the corner of her lips. "Let it go bankrupt then." It was already at its breaking point anyway—bankruptcy might as well come sooner. "After that, I can still support you on my salary without

Chapter: 006: Another One With Selective HearingSerena stood at the front gates, waiting for an Uber to accept her request. The neighborhood was far from downtown, so it took a full ten minutes before a car finally arrived. But unbeknownst to her, this whole time, a Maybach hid in the shadows of the night. Sebastian glanced at his watch. "She just got home—and now she's heading out again?" … It wasn't until Serena collapsed onto the bed in her 1,000 square feet apartment that she finally felt like she had come back to life. She checked her bank balance—she was just a little short of being able to buy the place outright. After college, she had mostly lived alone in rented apartments. Donald had never withheld her tuition, but from the moment she came of age, she had already made up her mind to leave home. The Steeles no longer felt like a place she belonged. And to Donald, she was nothing more than a pawn he could move around when needed. If she truly wanted to break off the engagement with Trevor, her relationship with her

Chapter: 005: Please Don’t Call Me Mrs LevineSerena was caught completely off guard by the sudden question. She had just been laughing at Trevor, and now it was her turn to lose her smile. Trevor might have been wary of the man in front of them, but she wanted even less to run into his uncle. When she was 16, she had spent an entire month rehearsing the words in her head before finally working up the nerve to confess to Trevor, timing it carefully for a moment when none of the Levine family elders were home. She stood outside Trevor's bedroom with her head lowered, staring fixedly at the tips of her shoes, her heart pounding as she gathered every ounce of courage she had and knocked on the door. The door opened slowly. She still didn't dare lift her head to look at the boy she loved. Her cheeks flushed, and with all the strength she could muster, she blurted out, "Trevor, I like you." It was a moment she never wanted to remember again. A man's voice, apologetic and calm, sounded beside her ear. "Rena, Trevor's room is downs

Chapter: 004: The Third Son Of The Levine FamilyYvonne gave a gentle smile. "Trevor, Rena was only teasing you."Amber's long hair cascaded over her shoulders, complementing her fresh, simple white dress. Her voice was soft as she asked, "Serena, are you still upset with Trevor about what happened that day?"Kyana curled her lips in a mocking smirk. "Serena, how do you even find it in yourself to be angry at Trevor?"None of this mattered to Trevor, though.His gaze dropped, sharp and calculating. Slowly, he repeated each word with deliberate clarity. "What did you just say you're done with?"Serena gave him a disdainful smile."So, Mr. Trevor, you don't hear well, huh?" came her reply. Then, she firmly said, "I said I'm done with you."Yvonne raised an eyebrow, realizing she had greatly misjudged her stepdaughter.Anger surged through Trevor, but he restrained it and pulled her into his arms. "Do you really think you can push me away just by saying that? Stop it. It's Grandpa's birthday. Let's go wish him a happy birthday."He dra

Chapter: 003: Am Done With HimSerena arrived at the villa right on time, wearing a delicate lavender gown. Her long, soft waves were tied back with a white ribbon, falling effortlessly down her back. Her skin was flawless and fair, her eyes sparkled with vitality, and her smile exuded warmth. Her features were striking and captivating, yet she carried an air of serene, unapproachable elegance. The soft hue of her gown muted the sharpness of her features, just enough to soften her fierce edge. Trevor had just opened his car door when he caught sight of her stepping into the courtyard. It was the first time he had ever seen her in a dress. The form-fitting garment hugged every curve of her figure, making it impossible for him to look away. Her beauty held a dangerous allure that sent a sharp thrill racing through him. He frowned, his voice tight with tension. "Go upstairs and change immediately." Serena chuckled softly. "And who, may I ask, gave you that order?" "Tonight is Grandpa's birthday banquet. Wearin
