ログインChapter 19: I found your wife
Shane sat alone in his office long after Cindy had left.
The room was silent, but his mind wasn’t. Her perfume still lingered in the air—a sharp floral scent that now felt more like a warning than a comfort. He leaned back in his chair, staring blankly at the closed laptop in front of him, his fingers interlocked behind his
Chapter Forty-nine: In Asher's Condo Asher walked out of his bedroom wearing a white singlet and a pair of jeans. The aroma drifting from the kitchen immediately caught his attention. He followed the delicious scent like a moth to a flame. “Good morning.” Alissa stood by the stove with a bright smile. She wore an oversized oxblood Henley shirt that she had borrowed from him, the hem falling to her thighs. Her hair was tied into a loose ponytail, and an apron was wrapped around her waist. Tiny beads of sweat glistened across her forehead as she stirred the sauce simmering in the pot. “Good morning,” Asher replied, mimicking her bright smile. He picked up an apple from the fruit basket and walked toward the sink. After rinsing it under the tap, he took a large bite. Then his eyes returned to her. “Are you wearing my shirt?” Alissa glanced down at herself before looking back at him. “Sorry,” she said with an awkward smile. Asher stared
Chapter Forty-Eight: Still, Here You Are Edward looked between them, clearly confused. “An acquaintance?” he repeated uncertainly, his eyes drifting toward Cindy, who was deliberately avoiding his gaze. He couldn't quite explain their relationship himself. Acquaintances seemed like too little. Friends were definitely too much. “Sir, please, take them out,” the woman pleaded, clasping her hands together. “I don't want to stay here any longer.” “Are you here to bail us out?” Alice asked, her face suddenly brightening with hope. “Yes, hopefully.” Edward nodded. “I made a few calls. You should be out in no time.” “Thank you!” Alice exclaimed, relief washing over her face. “What about me, sir?” the cellmate asked desperately. “I don't have anyone to bail me out!” Edward stared at her for a moment. He was beginning to wonder exactly what he'd gotten himself into. The officer returned their belongings, and Cindy immediately led the way out of t
Chapter forty-seven: Who is this handsome man? Meanwhile At Mystery's mansion, Spencer Gomez, aka the fake Mystery, sat comfortably in the living room, speaking with Alissa over the phone. He leaned back against the sofa, his expression growing increasingly irritated as he listened to her. “I don't understand. Why don't you want to press charges?” Mystery asked. “She could literally go to jail.” “I can't do that, at least not now,” Alissa replied calmly. “Cindy isn't completely healed. I'll do this as my last kindness to her as my sister.” Spencer sighed, rubbing his forehead. “Okay, fine. They were your designs, and you were forced to expose your true identity.” Alissa was silent for a moment before answering. “I've been hiding for too long, Spencer. It was time I took up my identity.” Spencer nodded slowly. “Okay, fine. Should I still request the investigation?” “Yes,” Alissa replied. Her voice became more serious. “I want to find the
Chapter forty-six: Can I make a phone call? “I am done with this nonsense,” the officer said irritably. “You two will stay here.” He glanced at his watch before continuing. “It’s already the weekend. I’m not paid enough for this. My shift is over, and I’m leaving.” “What are you saying, officer?” Alice asked in disbelief. “It’s the weekend. If no one is here to arrange your release and there’s no judge available to hear your bail request, you may have to remain in custody until the next available court hearing on Monday. So, even if you call him now, you may not be able to get out tonight.” “Are you serious?” Alice exclaimed, her voice rising again. “How can you do this to me? Do you know who I am?” “I don’t, and I don’t care,” the officer replied harshly. He gestured for the female officer to take Cindy back into the holding cell. As the female officer escorted Cindy back, the male officer returned to his post, gathered his belongings, changed
Chapter Forty-Five: Let me go “Why is my daughter still in detention? She just recovered from a coma!” Alice yelled at the policeman sitting across from her desk, her arms wrapped defensively around her chest. “Ma’am, your daughter was arrested for driving under the influence. She violated multiple traffic laws and exceeded the speed limit. She’ll be lucky if she doesn’t face jail time,” he told her sternly. His patience was wearing thin. This woman had been barking at him for the entire day, and he could no longer tolerate the entitled attitude of these rich folks. “So, you’re saying there’s nothing I can do?” she asked again, blinking away the tears in her eyes. The officer nodded softly. His eyes shifted to his wristwatch, and he sighed heavily. “Ma’am, visiting hours have already passed. You have to leave now.” “I can’t. My daughter is still in there,” she insisted, once again raising her voice. “Ma’am...” the officer warned, his voice becoming firmer.
Chapter forty-four: I'm tired of your shenanigans "Why is my mother daughter still in detention? She just recovered from a coma!" Alice yelled at the policeman sitting across his desk, her arms wrapped around her chest defensively. "Ma'am, your daughter has been arrested for driving under the influence, she violated multiple traffic laws and exceeded the speed limit, she will be lucky if she doesn't get jail time '' he told her sternly, this woman had been barking at him for the entire day. He could not take any more of the entitled rich folks. "So, you're saying there's nothing I can do?" She asked again, blinking away the tears in her eyes. The officer nodded softly. His eyes swatted to his wrist watch, and he sighed, " Ma'am, it's passed visiting hours. You have to leave now. " "I can't my daughter is still there " she insisted, once again yelling at the top of her lungs "Ma'am__" "I am not moving an inch out of this place, I'm only leaving here with
Chapter 11: Dominic is a fool for underestimating you. "Good morning, Grandfather," Alissa greeted, placing a peck on the old man's cheek. His heart warmed with affection, and he replied sweetly, "Good morning, Colet. How was your night?" "It was nothing spectacular," Alissa answered ba
Chapter 5: Good for her "Alissa, can you hand over my towel?" Shane said from the shower. He had forgotten to grab his towel, a habit he couldn't seem to lose. Upon getting no response, Shane called out again, "Alissa, aren't you going to help or are you so desperate to see me naked?"
Chapter 4; I promise to make you proudBack at the hospital, Cindy and Shane shared the bed of the private room, his arm extended over her shoulders in a gentle embrace. On her other hand, an IV drip linked to its stand was flowing at twenty drops per minute.Compared to back when she was comatose,
Chapter 3: You're a Free Woman Now "Fine, Alissa, hand me a pen," Shane agreed, huffing with anger. A pen. At this moment, Alicia froze - she had forgotten to get a pen from home. Still, she decided to search her purse but could not find one. Shrugging, she told him in a nonchal
