90 The Business Gala
We went back to our apartment unit after leaving Lara behind. I am in cloud nine. I couldn't believe what I have heard. Colin accepts everything about me, and he is never scared to defend me in front of other people, not even to his ex-wife whom he used to love so much. I feel sorry for Lara. She lost a great man just because she thought another man can make her happier. We were both quiet inside the elevator. He never let go of my hand which I find very sweet.
That night, everything went back to normal. No one talked about Lara. Even Colin looks unaffected by what happened. Sometimes, I still feel worried whether I should fully trust him or not. I guess this is the effect of having a bad relationship in the past.
That week, the news about the upcoming Business Gala became a hot issue. Everyone seems to be excited with the event since all big names, not only in business field but also in entertainment industry normally attend this gathering. This is also where some rum

I can't believe with my reflection on the mirror. The people around me were all smiles, admiring how I turned out. The long dress fitted my body well. It is a simple long black dress that shows my curves. I never thought I am this slim. The dress makes me look taller than usual and it outlines my figure in a sexy way. The dress is matched with black stilettos which I have used for the past days in practicing how to walk. My hair was beautifully braided and was neatly arranged. My makeup gave me a natural but fresh look. I was helped by Nancy and the makeup artist to choose what accessory would complement my look. They chose a small cut diamond earring. They told me not to wear any necklace since people have to focus on my looks and not the accessories I'm wearing. They also chose a small clutch bag where I can put my phone and lipstick just in case I need to apply more later.Colin then entered the room, already dressed. He is wearing a black suit with a grey vest inside. "Yo
The Love I Have Hoped For 92 My Worries
Murmurs can be heard in the hall. Geoff stood still on the stage, probably thinking whether he should stay where he is now or follow Erica to comfort her. In this situation, I should feel happy and proud because I am gradually having my revenge, but why do I have the feeling that the people present in the hall are looking at me like a villain?Holding Colin's hand in one hand while holding the trophy on the other hand, I couldn't help but to look down. I have to avoid stares of those people seated on their seats. Colin still looks so relaxed. I'm not sure whether he could sense the judging eyes glaring at us.A little later, Geoff decided to get off the stage as well. I guess he couldn't stand to be in the same place with me. After he left, all the awardees with their partners took pictures. I had to force a smile not to look awkward in photos.As we get back to our seats, some reporters approached Colin."Mr. Andrews, can we have a short interview? We ju
The Love I Have Hoped For 93 The Turn of Events

They were married for three years and after not being able to have a child, decided to have a divorce. Mr. Park then met his schoolmate Jessica Myers whom he married after a month. No news about their marriage came to public and according to his friends, they thought Ms. Wright was still his girlfriend since they were seen together on several occasions.

They have made me suffer so much. I actually didn’t do anything that can harm them yet. But in my situation now, I don’t think I need to do more things.

The Love I Have Hoped For 96 My Dream Date
Time past by quickly and the news about me is not that frequent anymore. although there are still some articles about Geoff, but it seems that not so many people are interested in it. Thanks to social media, new interesting topics come out from time to time that people forget about previous issues easily. I guess it also helped that we kept quiet despite all the lies Geoff said about me. Colin also didn’t engage in any interview although some reporters tried to ask him. He always says that the truth would come out eventually, so we don’t need to bother explaining our side of the story, and he is right.Geoff and Ericka are now more open with their relationship. They were seen in many events looking so sweet and holding hands most of the time. Now that everyone knows that Geoff is now a free man, he can date anyone he wants without being criticized by other people. Ericka seems to be enjoying the fame that she is getting. She was already famous before as an heir of
The Love I Have Hoped For 97 The Encounter
Who would have thought that a perfect night such as this will be ruined with the presence of the two most hideous people I know. It’s my first time to be in this restaurant and the place already made me feel comfortable and excited just seeing the interior from the lobby, but having these two people in here ruins all my expectation about this date. “Should we just look for another restaurant? I just want to have some pizza and pasta tonight.” I suggested to my husband. He can sense how worried I am and how uncomfortable this will be for the both of us. Just a simple smile from him makes me feel that I am understood and I don’t need to worry about anything. “It’s difficult to make a reservation in this place and food here is one of my favorites. I want you to try everything that I like. You trust me, right?” He replied with a reassuring smile on his face. This is not the response I was expecting from him. I expected he would tell me that he understands what I feel and we will leave t

98“You did a good job in there. You should know how to defend yourself all the time, especially when you know you are right. I’m proud of you. I think you’re ready now.” Colin said.“Ready for what?” I asked.“Ready for what?” I asked again. I cannot guess what Colin is thinking right now. I also never thought he has other plans for the two of us, especially for me. Having him in my life has always been enough for me now. I was staring at him with so many questions in my mind.“Haven’t you wished of working again?” He finally spoke.“What kind of work are you talking about?”“Working. Making your own money. Any kind of work. I’m not saying this because I want you to work. What I’m saying is, I don’t want to stop you from improving yourself. I have the money to support you, Athena and mom but I don’t want you to feel you are locked up at home. I want to train you. I think you can be a good leader or a businesswoman if you just want to.”Listening to his explanation makes me feel a bit
