A Dish Served Cold Chapter 9
"Riley, are you crazy?! He's your son! How could you hurt him like that?!" Nelly's face turned bright red with anger as she screamed at Riley.He simply stood there, unmoved. "He should never have been born. I should've never let you keep him ten years ago."In the end, a coworker of mine couldn't watch anymore and called an ambulance, sending Nelly and her child to the hospital.The circus ended just like that.Because Riley had accomplished nothing in the Top-Secret Research Project, the company fired him according to company rules and regulations. He tried to find me that day, but I had already moved and changed all my contact information.The next day, he came to the company looking for me, but security stopped him at the door. It wasn't until late at night, when I left work, that he finally managed to ambush me outside the company after waiting the entire day.He rushed to explain, "Anna, I'll never be with Nelly, and I won't acknowledge that boy. I have no feelings for her.
A Dish Served Cold Chapter 8
Nelly was startled by the hatred in my eyes. She kept on yelling that it had nothing to do with her before running away.A few months later, I heard from my colleagues that Nelly had given birth to her baby. To support her baby, she found a quick-paying job at a nightclub.Over the years, I occasionally heard news about Riley from my higher-ups. They said he had tried to quit the project, but he was trapped at the base and couldn't come back. He would just drink and drown in his regrets all day long, always talking about how sorry he was to me.Whenever the bosses asked me about him, I simply smiled and shook my head. The moment Riley betrayed me, there was no more future between us. And after my parents had died because of him, the only person he could become was my enemy.Ten years later, I was promoted to general manager of the company.At the same time, the Kentran Top-Secret Research Project had finally finished, and all the members returned to Kentra one by one.Riley came

"There must be some misunderstanding. I never wanted to hurt you, and I'd never hurt your parents. I really didn't know things would turn out this way…" Riley's voice was starting to mix with sobs as he spoke to me through his phone.He was the one who had cheated. He was the one responsible for my parents' deaths. Yet somehow, he was the one in tears? "You saved my life once, but my parents have paid you back for it. Riley, we owe each other nothing now!"With that, I hung up and blocked his number.After that, Riley completely disappeared from my life. Everyone on the Kentran Top-Secret Research Project had signed a ten-year contract. Even if they wanted out, they couldn't leave until it was finished.Life slowly returned to normal, and I offered my entire self to work, using the busyness to numb myself.Three days later, Nelly cornered me outside the company. "Anna, what did you do? Why is Riley ignoring me? He canceled his phone number and even sold his house! Where are you
A Dish Served Cold Chapter 6
Early next morning, Riley was already waiting for me downstairs. As soon as I got into the car, he pulled out a steaming bag of pastries and warm milk from under his coat. "I kept them in my coat to keep them warm so you can have a hot breakfast. Hurry and eat before it gets cold."I took the breakfast and held it in my hands.Riley drove, glancing at me from the corner of his eye every now and then."Yesterday, the head of the Kentran Top-Secret Research Project contacted me. My name's on the list for this new project. Anna, I know it was you who recommended me." My hand trembled when I heard that.He didn't notice anything wrong and kept talking."Even though the list is confidential, I'm sure you're on it too. Are you trying to change your environment because of your parents? Don't worry. No matter where we go, we'll always be together. But the project starts tomorrow, so our wedding has to be cancelled. Once we settle in, I'll find a way to make it up to you, okay?"Riley nev

I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and left.Then I went to the cemetery. The flowers in front of their headstones had already withered. In that moment, I collapsed completely as all my false strength had been drained away.All the anger, regret, and pain of losing my parents built up inside me and finally exploded. I dropped to my knees and cried my heart out."Anna, why are you here? I've been looking for you. Don't cry, I'm right here." Riley came rushing to me, pulling me into his arms in a panic."Are you missing your parents again?" Looking at the concern on his face, all I could feel was disgust. When he leaned in, the scent of the perfume on him made my stomach turn."Ugh!" Suddenly, I threw up all over him.Riley wasn't the least bit annoyed, only worried. He quickly took off his dirty jacket, afraid it would get me dirty too. "Anna, are you feeling sick? Let me take you to the hospital right now."I pushed him away, still crying while looking at my parents'
A Dish Served Cold Chapter 4
Through the screen, my eyes and Riley's met, and his face instantly went pale. I saw the panic and fear in his eyes.The next moment, the screen went black, and my phone showed "no signal".Riley had unplugged the camera.But before he even returned, I already got a call from Nelly.She sounded especially smug. "You secretly turned on the security camera in the bedroom, didn't you? You sure can put up with a lot. You didn't react with anger after seeing me and Riley in your bed? You have never seen him crazy like that in bed before, have you? You're like a dead fish in bed, after all. You couldn't give Riley any sort of passion. He's already completely addicted to my body now."Do you really think you can put up with him seeing me even after you get married? Oh, and by the way, it wasn't just the bed. The kitchen, the bathroom, the sofa… We've done it in every corner of your home."It wasn't long after Nelly hung up before Riley hurried back."Anna, there's nothing nice around h
