Now, the next day after closing from the office, Derrick didn't go directly to the winter hospital to check on Williams, rather, he took Nancy to his house.On arriving home, Derrick hastily dropped from the car, he walked around to the other side and romantically opened the car door for Nancy to come out.“Welcome to my house, Nancy,” he said with a wide smile as he dramatically bowed to her.“Thank you, Dr. Derrick.” Nancy appreciated him with a wide smile on her face.“My pleasure,” he muttered and gently closed the car door.Derrick led her into the house, as Nancy majestically walked behind him like a princess, perhaps a bride.“Once more, welcome to my house, Nancy.” he bowed to her again as he opened the entrance for Nancy to enter the lounge.She smiled at him and held her purse in front of her with her two hands.Just as they stepped into the lounge, Mimi, Derrick's younger sister, sighted them, and she hastily jumped off the couch and ran to her big brother with her arms wid
Nancy couldn't tell whether she should smile or not. She couldn't believe that the Derrick she knew in her childhood was the same Derrick she had been mingling with for a long time without noticing it.Conversely, Derrick was also lost in thoughts as he wondered if what his Mom said was true.Within minutes, Mrs. Dorothy came back with an old picture in her hand, with a smile plastered on her face.“Here,” Mrs. Dorothy placed the medium size picture before them. She said, "There are two families in the picture. My husband, me, and Derrick. The other family was standing with Nancy and her parents. Can any of you remember this picture?”They lifted their heads and gazed at each other skeptically, trying to recall everything, but they couldn't because it had been ages since the picture was snapped.Aside from that, they were still kids.“No, I can't recall anything. However, I could only recall that I had a good childhood friend who was a girl. I can't remember anything more than that.” D
After a week of looking after her ex-husband in the hospital, Williams was discharged when the medical doctor was convinced that his health level had improved.Using her car, Hailey asked her chauffeur to drive Williams to the apartment he rented. Just as they halted in front of the apartment, a lady approached them after she spotted him coming out as he was helped by one of Hailey's two guards.Although she knew that her life was in danger, she didn't go out with her convoy, rather, she asked only two of her guards to follow her. Her chauffeur and the head guard.“Good day, madam,” the lady greeted Hailey with a friendly smile.“Good day, and how are you doing?” Hailey responded as she tried to think if she knew her somewhere, but she couldn't recall seeing such a face before.Upon seeing that Hailey was pondering more than she should, the lady said, “My name is Ariana, and I'm Williams's neighbor. It has been a while since I last saw him, that's why I'm here to see him, madam.”“Ohh,
Hailey stood silent for a long time, pondering what to tell Williams, so he could free her. They gazed at each other and remained in that position for what seemed like ages as the atmosphere became suffocated for Hailey.“Are you serious about what you are saying?” she finally asked with a low voice, her eyes wide open with astonishment.“Of course, yes. Do I appear like someone who is joking? I guess I'm not dressing like a joker, Hailey.” he smirked.She shook her head and said, “You must be kidding me, Williams. Here are the keys, take them, so I can move out of this place. I have forgiven you for breaking my heart into a thousand pieces. But just because I forgave you doesn't mean I will accept you back as my husband. I don't need any man in my life again, no matter how wealthy the man is. You betrayed me, Williams.”“Come on, Hailey. No one is above mistakes. We all make mistakes, so please take that as a mistake. Or are you trying
“What?”! Hailey muttered in shock as she dropped her leg and stood on her feet. “ What nonsense is this, Jerry?” she yelled at the gatekeeper, whose gaze was fixed on the ground as if he were the one who wrote the letter.The gateman trembled at her voice. He swallowed hard as he avoided eye contact with Hailey. This wasn't because of the respect he had for her, but because he was scared to see Hailey's angry face. “My husband gave you this?” she raged as though she wanted to punch him. “Y-yes, ma'am,” the gatekeeper stammered with his gaze fixed on the ground. “How dare he give this to me? Has he gone crazy or what? How dare he give me a divorce letter, uh?”! Hailey shouted through gritted teeth and a frowning face. The more she spoke, the more the gatekeeper quivered at her words.Hailey had blonde hair cascading to her shoulder, resembling the first glorious ray of sunlight. Her cheerful face brightened up every gloomy heart as people turned towards her breathtaking smile like a
“Woman, what are you still doing in my house?” Williams asked through gritted teeth as he let go of his girlfriend's hand.He was pointing at her with his index finger and a frown face as though he wanted to slap Hailey.Williams has black sleek hair resembling the prevailing darkness, the thunderous coarse voice of his displayed chilling nonchalant nature. His silvery eyes, which glanced at people like a dagger, with a soul-eating stare that each time it pierced the air.“I'm in my house and I see no reason you should ask me that question.” Hailey courageously fired back at him.Williams took a few steps towards Hailey as he clenched his fist furiously. He stood an inch away from her as they glared at each other. “If I can remember, this is my house and not yours, Hailey,” said Williams as he continued to clench his fist angrily.“Well, we built this house together,” she responded with her arms crossed over her chest defensively. “ Secondly, anything that belongs to my husband is m
With haste, Hailey ran upstairs to drive Hazel out of the house. She doesn't care if Williams would attempt to punch her because of this.All Hailey needed was for Hazel to leave her husband alone. Why should she chase after someone's husband? Are there no other handsome-looking men out there? Why then must it be Williams?Immediately, Hailey got to the door, she attempted to open the door as she held the doorknob.Just when she was about to twist the doorknob, she froze at what was echoing in her ears.“What! I hope it isn't what I'm thinking,” she muttered and gently placed her ear on the door.To her greatest surprise, the noise coming out from the room informed her about what was happening inside there.They were already having affairs on her matrimonial bed.Just after she noticed this, she became lifeless and weak. Her grip on the doorknob suddenly loosened.If someone told her that Williams would one day do such a thing to her, she wouldn't have believed it.She so much truste
Hailey managed to sleep that night, but she couldn't sleep early until 1:00 AM, at midnight.She was planning to shock Williams that morning, but the opposite just happened, which Hailey never saw coming.A heavy knock came from the door, which made Hailey jump off her sleep. It was so loud and terrifying that she thought that arm robbers had come to kidnap her.“Hailey!” an angry, familiar voice echoed, which sent a shiver down her spine. She was lost about what was going on.Hailey was still feeling sleepy and dizzy because she didn't have enough sleep. And for this reason, she was yet to make sense of what was happening.“Who is there at the door?” Hailey asked with a low voice as she fixed her gaze on the door.“Come out here, you barren woman!” Williams' angry voice echoed.Immediately, he said that Hailey's face changed over time. She now knows who was at the door.She frowned and furiously went down from the bed. However, before she could gesture towards the door, she scanned a
