VERONICA

I was puzzled to see Assistant Blake holding his large figure, which now lay on the floor.

"Madam, please help!" His urgent tone brought me back to the present, and I hastened to his side.

With the assistance of assistant, Blake, we gently escorted him to the guest room where his children were playing. Upon seeing us, Zeon quickly dismounted from the bed and helped Cadence as they approached their father.

"Papa!" His voice quivered with fear as he gazed at his father.

Gently placing him on the bed, Blake began removing his shoes and loosening his clothing while I sat with my children. Cadence was frightened, though she didn't understand, and immediately hid in my chest as Zeon watched anxiously.

I caressed his cheeks and softly reassured him, "Mom's a doctor; he will be alright." This slowly calmed his expression as he nodded.

After reassuring the children, I returned to his side and asked for my medical kit from a servant. Upon examining him, I discovered he had a high fever

    CHRISTIAN"Christian, you are not the man for me," she stated, her gaze unwavering. She was leaning against another man—the man with whom she shared joyful laughter."Ple-ease, Veronica," I pleaded. "D-don't leave m-e—"She laughed coldly, "In your dreams—" She looked up at the man and smiled radiantly, a smile that pierced my heart. "Let's go, darling," she murmured softly and departed."N-no! Veronica!" I attempted to follow her, but I was unable to; a powerful force held me back as I fell face-first. My hands reached out, "N-no!" My vision blurred as she slowly faded away...My eyes flew open as I bolted upright in bed. Sweat slipped through my pores as I panted hard from the cold, terrifying nightmare that had haunted me for the last five years.The only difference was that the man now had a face."Director, you're awake!" A shriek startled me as I saw Blake appear before me. "Thank God, it's a relief. I was quite worried!"A dull ache pulsed in my head as I massaged my temple and

    CHRISTIANThrilled with the possibility, I gazed at the little girl. Her features were taken after her mother, except those eyes—but how is it even possible?Since she had gone through hard labour, I was scared for her health and refrained from touching her. I threw myself into work and deliberately stayed away from home so I wouldn't lose myself, except that night five years ago.I missed her so much that when she was near, I couldn't help but love her and want to be with her. But later, I mixed a strong birth control pill in her water; therefore, the equation didn't fall into place, and it made me more confused.Despite the confusion, I decided to ask her about it and immediately leave the children's room to find her. However, the room opposite was closed, and I froze at the reminder of another man's presence in her life.Her smiling face at him from yesterday flashed before my eyes as I stepped back, my hands clenching at my sides.She is with another man now, a man who is possibly

    VERONICAI stormed into my room and closed the door, leaning against it to catch my breath. My pulse raced, and my legs trembled, causing me to almost lose my balance.I suppressed a rising feeling of anxiety as the recent encounter replayed in my mind—had it not been for Blake's timely intervention, the consequences would have been—No, no, no!I covered my mouth, realizing the gravity of the situation.Stupid woman! I scolded myself.How could I lose myself in front of him? The man who hurt me, pushed me to the edge and forced me to leave my own son.— How could I be so shameless as to fall into his web? How could I react so pathetically in front of him?Wasn't he murmuring her name in his unconscious state only? How could he behave that way?I pulled my hair in frustration. Anger and embarrassment gripped me strongly. I felt like disappearing into thin air.How could his presence still affect me even after the heartache he caused me? Fuck! Why did I even bother to check on him!?Shit

    VERONICAUpon Celine's arrival, Christian immediately disengaged his hand from my arm. "What are you doing here?" he inquired, frown creasing his temple.Her gaze fell upon us, widening slightly, perhaps in surprise at seeing me. "Veronica—" she whispered.The situation became increasingly uncomfortable as I withdrew from Christian. First him, and now his lover— what unfortunate circumstances I find myself in!"Why are you here?" Celine inquired, her tone laced with suspicion. "Didn't you leave years ago? Why have you returned?" Her eyes held a cold accusation.I found her boldness rather amusing and met her gaze steadily. Raising an eyebrow, I let out a cold, bitter chuckle. "My presence here, you ask? How ironic! Apparently, none of you noticed the prominent nameplate at the entrance." I scoffed."I wonder if you're all losing your sight together? No worries, though. I can recommend some outstanding eye specialists for the sake of our old rivalry." Sarcasm dripping from my voice."W

    VERONICACeline immediately approached Christian, gripping his arm. "Christian, what is happening? Why are you remaining silent, danm it!?" She demanded. "Surely you aren't considering a reconciliation with the woman who abandoned you and Zeon years ago, are you!? And now—" Her gaze intensified, fixing on my daughter, whom I drew closer, trying to hide her from her poisonous gaze. "—and now she has a child with another man! Christian, I'm asking you something!" She cried out frantically.Her wailing polluted the peaceful atmosphere of my home, heightening my anxiety and anger."Enough!" I roared, glaring at the unpleasant couple before me.I was quite upset by their toxic behaviour, and in a moment of frustration, I raised my voice in front of my children, particularly Cadence. She is not accustomed to such volatile situations and becomes quite distressed.I immediately attended to my daughter, comforting her until she calmed down. As the unpleasant couple showed no sign of leaving, I

    CHRISTIANThose eyes—fiercely red, burning with rage. They shocked me to the depths of my very bones. In the five years of our marriage, I have never before witnessed such aggression from her. She is a calm and quiet persona.Was the displayed aggression truly necessary? Or, did I simply fail to understand Veronica's true nature?As I closed my eyes, memories of our unexpected reunion resurfaced. Her smiles, her confident demeanour, even her anger— all felt new and unfamiliar, as if I were encountering a completely new person who happened to share my ex-wife's features.I wonder if others feel the same way, or was it just me?—My thoughts were interrupted by a gentle touch on my arm. "Chris, are you okay?" Celine's voice followed next.I withdrew my arm from her touch and opened my eyes. She was leaning over me, her eyes filled with concern.I frowned, sitting up straight. "What are you doing here?" I couldn't help the curtness of my tone.Her lips pursed, biting on them as her eyes t

    CHRISTIANThe next morning, I woke to Blake's call. "What is it?" I asked, a little annoyed by the disturbance."Director, we have acquired most of the land for our resort project, with the exception of a few lands. One of these lands covers quite a good amount of the planned resort area. The owner, however, is unwilling to relocate." He sound frustrated.My already sour mood turned bitter. "Offer him twice the previous price," I ordered coldly."Director, we've already attempted that. However, they are unwilling to retract their position. It appears the property has recently changed ownership, and the new owner has declined our proposals."This is the problem with these small land owners. They're way too attached to their fields and create trouble in the work. However, minor obstacles are typical for large-scale projects, and I am accustomed to them."Offer more; if they still disagree, then proceed according to the law and evict them," I ordered and hung up the call.After awakening

    VERONICAApproaching the villa, I parked my car and then slowly ascended the steps with a racing heart. I'm finally here— at my ex-husband's residence, whom I have vowed to never see again. Now, he's back in life like a storm, threatening to crumble my walls.Despite my deep desire to leave, I can not. I have something precious to him for whom I am willing to endure my heartache and face him again. My son, Zeon, needs me, and I will not abandon him this time.A middle-aged woman on the doorstep received me: "Greetings ma'am, you must be Doctor Granger, our young master's mother?""Yes." I replied."Please come in, madam. Mr. Wolfe informed me of your arrival." She replied, maintaining a polite smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. "I am Martha, the young master's governess." she added.Zeon's governess? I frowned. Wasn't it Aunt Zhao before? A kind Chinese lady. When was she replaced? My eyes in the Wolfe residence never informed me. Why? Perhaps she was replaced earlier than I plan

Then, I froze as a strong arm encircled my waist, pulling me close to a sturdy chest.I gasped when his soft lips touched a sensitive spot on my neck. "Mm, good morning," Christian's groggy morning voice widened my eyes as last night vividly played in my mind.No! Not again!My rapid heartbeat prompted a hasty turn as I hurriedly left the bed. This movement also roused him, leaving him in a state of apparent confusion."Veronica..." He blinked. Could he remember it now? Might he be startled to see me instead of Celine?The idea made me quite irritated. "Yes, me," I said, frowning slightly and snapping at him. "What, aren't you satisfied seeing me here?" I was actually annoyed with myself. How could I allow myself to be involved with this man again?I was supposed to fight for my son's custody; instead, here I am, once again pleasing him.

    DIANAI got out of my car and looked around before covering my head with a scarf and walking into the restaurant.It's a small, quiet restaurant in the countryside. There's a pub on one corner and tables arranged on the other.I sat at a table as I heard a few people laughing in the pub. I ignored them and sat there with my face covered.“Excuse me, madam, would you care to order anything?” A young girl, appearing to be a waitress, approached me with a smile."I'll have one coffee, no sugar, please." I stated."May I assist you with anything further?" she politely asked."No, thank you," I replied and dismissed her.Following her departure, I surveyed my surroundings with a slight frown. This certainly isn't my usual preference, but I had no other option. After some time, the restaurant door opened, and a middle-aged gentleman entered. He, too, seemed uncertain, furrowing his brow at his surroundings.I waved at him, and noticing me, he came to my table and sat opposite me."Mrs. Wolf

    VERONICA"Christian, what are you doing here—drunk?" I couldn't help the shock and disappointment in my voice.He, however, did not reply; instead, he pushed himself inside, so close to me, and locked the door. For once, his gaze did not leave mine.‘Christian, what are you—ah!” I groaned as he grabbed my arm and dragged me upstairs. “Christian!” I hissed at him slowly, not wanting to wake my children and let them witness their father's drunken state.He didn't seem to care about my struggles, though. He took me upstairs, shoved me into that same guest room where we last fought, and shut the door.His icy blue stare burned into me, so intensely I couldn't figure it out."What's wrong with you, Christian?" I snapped. “You're so wasted!”"What is wrong with me?" He chuckled, sounding angry for some reason.Christian approached toward me, his intense blue stare fixed on me, as if I were responsible for his troubles. I wonder what is troubling him?I wonder if I should? Perhaps he should

    CHRISTIANAfter powering down my computer, I reclined in my chair, letting out an involuntary sigh as I gazed out the window. The clear evening sky presented a breathtaking view, illuminated by a half-moon and several bright stars.I was, however, unable to fully appreciate the view due to my current circumstances. The weather seemed quite romantic, which only served to highlight my lack of romance in my life.A dull ache settled in my chest. Many advised me to move on from Veronica, and if I perhaps did, then surely I wouldn't have a lack of a partner to accompany me on such nights.Despite my best efforts, I found it impossible to move on. Veronica remains the only woman I can ever imagine being with. She was my first love and perhaps always will be. Over the past three years, I've repeatedly tried to forget her, but without success. Reuniting with her after three years rekindled my feelings, but her clear affection for her first love left me heartbroke

    VERONICAI parked my car near ‘Providence’— a seven-star hotel, one of the most luxurious hotels and restaurants in Yorkshire.Feeling a bit apprehensive, I exited the car and approached the hotel entrance before confirming the location on my phone.Okay, I came to the exact place. Let's get in Veronica. You can do it.With a bit of self-encouragement, I approached the hotel entrance and found Diego waiting. He greeted me with a polite smile and a slight bow, saying, "You've arrived, Madam." He then opened the door and graciously invited me in.I offered a gentle smile and quietly followed him. I visited this place a year ago to attend the wedding of one of my patients. My treatment and care helped her recover and be reunited with her beloved. She was very eager for me to attend her wedding, and I was unable to refuse her request. Although I only stayed for about half an hour, it brought her joy.Diego politely led me to an

    VERONICAI looked in the mirror; staring back at me was a gorgeous woman in a beautiful dark green satin dress. Her beautiful face had a touch of light makeup, and she complemented her look with burgundy lips.Smiling at my reflection, I retrieved my purse and took a deep breath. Today, I am going on a date with William.That evening, I had agreed to go on a date with him. I didn't know if anything would change between us tonight, but I knew I couldn't deny him, not after how he had helped me.Therefore, I accepted his request.Soon, I descended the stairs. Upon my arrival, I noticed everyone looking at me."Oh my goodness, Vero!" Zaya gasped, clasping her hands to her mouth.Aunt Lucy was staring at me as well; her thoughts were incomprehensible.My two children were also looking at me, their wide eyes making me feel a little self-conscious.I scratched my neck, “what's wrong, guys? Am I looking too weird?”

    DIANA SPARKLESLife has a surprising way of changing things. Just a few days ago, the woman who annoyed me, now I no longer feel offended by her.Veronica—I never liked her because of her dicey personality and always resented her. Suddenly, I found myself no longer bothered by her presence.Perhaps it's more due to her daughter. Before I met Cadence, I only detested her, but everything changed the moment that little soul threw herself into my arms and called me ‘Gamma’ with her sweetest, childish voice.My heart softened, and I found myself unexpectedly drawn to the little girl.I didn't understand my own mind at all. When it was divided between Zeon and Cadence, I didn't even realize. It all felt like a surreal dream.Perhaps it is because she reminds me of my own daughter, who sadly passed away at the age of three. Cadence is around her age, and I feel I see my daughter in her.Soon, I was whipped by the little gir

    VERONICAMy heart beat rapidly upon seeing Matilda. However, I attempted to remain calm, as it was our first meeting, and technically, I should not have been privy to their conversation.I flashed my most professional smile at her, “Hello, Ms. Petersfield, how can I help you?”Her gaze was sharp, intently studying me for a few seconds before her smile widened. "Might I borrow a moment of your time, Doctor? I won't keep you long," she said gently. If I hadn't heard her threats to ruin my life that day, I might not have believed that she was the same woman.I pursed my lips. Even though it sounded like a request, in my heart I’m well aware that it wasn't a request but a command.“Well, alright, Ms. Petersfield, please take a seat.” I offered her a seat opposite of me.She sat down, looking around my chamber for a while, her gaze fixed on me. “I must say, you have quite an exquisite taste, Dr. Granger.”

What is fucking wrong with me!?His touch, his words, even his breath—fuck! Everything about him almost tottered me, and I was provoked to give in. If it wasn't for Zaya's call at that moment, I would have found myself beneath him.Sigh… I had been considering a custody battle for Zeon, yet still getting whipped by that man. I'm not sure if I'm being rational anymore?I felt it was prudent to leave the man's presence as soon as possible, so I quickly gave Diana the list of Christian's meals and departed with Cadence without even saying goodbye. I preferred not to risk encountering him again.I'm rather confused; how could he still flirt with me while Celine was at home? What does he think of me? His paid whore? That fucking asshole!Rubbing my temple, I turned to my sleeping
