Chapter 9

Author: Nameless
That afternoon, Dana finally stepped through the gate of her grandfather's estate.

She pushed open the door into the living room and saw his familiar figure in a rocking chair, reading the newspaper. The tears she had been holding back all the way home streamed down all at once.

She ran over like a child who had suffered too much, burying her face against his shoulder and crying out all the hurt and humiliation she had been swallowing.

At first, Peter Sanchez kept his face stern and scolded her. "You still remember your way back? How long has it been since you last called me?"

But as he listened to her sob so hard to the point of choking herself, his hands slowly softened as he patted her back, his tone becoming gentle. "Did Gary bully you? Tell me, and I'll deal with him!"

Dana shook her head, still hiccupping, and then started with a hoarse voice, "Grandpa, he and I… We got divorced."

"That's great!" Peter slammed his chair's armrest, his eyes full of approval. "I always knew

  • Divorced, Unnoticed   Chapter 20

    After the wedding, Dana and Alec did not rush off to crowded vacation spots for their honeymoon. Instead, they drove slowly along the mountain roads around the small town.Alec knew Dana liked quiet places, so he had picked a few small inns with streams and groves.During the day, he sat with her by the creek to fish and watch the mist roll over the hills. They spent the night in the inn's small living room, with one reading and the other occupied with design drafts. Now and then, they would look up at the same time and see a gentle smile in each other's eyes.When the honeymoon ended,Dana returned to work at the jewelry design branch of the Thompson Group. Every morning, Alec would leave home ten minutes early so he could swing by her office and drop her off, and every evening, he would be there on time to pick her up.When Dana had to work late, Alec would wait in the cafe next door. He would order her favorite latte and stay until she finished.Her coworkers often teased her,

    Gary kept watch outside Dana's house the entire night.Early next morning, Dana and Alec came out and saw Gary curled up by the gate. His face was an unhealthy red, his lips cracked, and his eyes were already a little unfocused."Dana..." Hearing the noise, Gary struggled to his feet. As soon as he tried to speak, his throat burned with pain, and his hoarse voice was barely audible.Dana acted as if she had not seen him at all, walking around him and leaving with Alec, side by side.Gary did not give up. He dragged his heavy steps after them, not too close and not too far, but never falling away.Over the next few days, Gary became a shadow in Dana's life. When she went to the design company, he stood downstairs from morning until night. When she went home after work, he went back to the estate's gate and waited outside.In only a few days, his eyes had become red with stubble covering his chin. His once neat suit was wrinkled beyond saving. He looked like a completely different

    "Gary, back off!" Alec stepped in front of Dana, his expression stern. "Dana is my fiancée now.""Fiancée?!" Gary turned his head toward Alec, and his rage blinded him. He swung his fist and punched Alec hard in the face. "I'm talking to my wife! Who do you think you are to interfere when you're just an outsider?! Get out of my way!"Alec staggered, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He wiped it away, his gaze becoming cold. "Gary, listen up! I'm the man Dana chose right now. I'm the one marrying her. You're the outsider here."Dana hurried forward and held Alec's arm. "Alec, are you alright?"Watching Dana worry about Alec, Gary felt as if a knife had been stabbed straight through his heart.Dana turned to Gary and slowly said, "You were the one who tricked me into signing the divorce papers! You were the one who shoved my head into the ice bucket and forced me to admit to some wrongdoing I never committed, even when I was dying! You were the one who turned around and

    After getting off the plane, Gary followed the address to Dana's home, but the gate into the estate was shut tight.When Dana had wanted to marry him, her grandfather had never given his blessing. Dana had been afraid he would feel awkward, so she had never brought him home. This was the first time he had ever stood in her homeland.He waited from noon until evening.Just as he was about to lose his patience, a familiar figure appeared at the end of the street. Dana wore a neat business suit with her hair pinned up, her steps light and steady.Gary's eyes lit up in joy, and the urgency he had held in all the way here finally broke loose. He almost ran to her immediately, reaching out to grab her wrist. "Dana!"Before he could touch her, however, Alec stepped forward and blocked his path with a steady movement.Gary's hand froze midair. The sight of an unfamiliar man at Dana's side sent a surge of irritation through him.He snapped, his voice cold. "Move! This has nothing to do w

    Gary stayed by Kelly's side all night.She finally woke up when dawn broke, her voice weak. "Gary, it was Sandy who pushed me down the stairs! She was the one who pointed those people after me and got me kidnapped two years ago! You have to make her pay for what she did!"He had already seen the footage, but hearing it from Kelly herself was a gut punch.His hand tightened around his sister's. "I'll make this right for you. Rest first. Don't think too much.""And Dana..." Kelly's voice broke. "I was so awful with her before this... Gary, I'm so sorry for what I did to Dana. You have to find her and bring her back, alright?""Alright. Just focus on getting better."Looking at Kelly's face, which was heavy with guilt, and then thinking of how he had misunderstood and hurt Dana, and how Sandy had spent all these years scheming and acting, the rage that had been buried in Gary's chest finally exploded.When he got home, the bodyguards were still holding Sandy in the middle of the li

    Sandy froze, her face turning pale instantly as she tried to defend herself. "Gary, you... Don't misunderstand me! I was just worried because Kelly hasn't woken up! I got anxious, that's all. I didn't mean anything else!"Watching her put on the act, Gary felt a wave of disgust.He stepped closer, his voice like ice. "Misunderstand you? I heard every word you just said and everything you did."He then stared directly into her eyes. "I will ask you one more time. How did Kelly fall down the stairs?"Sandy's body shook even harder, but she still clenched her teeth and refused to admit anything. "She slipped on her own. It had nothing to do with me."Gary let out a cold laugh, disappointment and fury in his eyes. "You don't need to say anything. If I want the truth, I will find it eventually. I have no patience to waste on you right now."He took out his phone and called his assistant. "Bring two people to the hospital. Take Sandy back to the villa and make sure we have eyes on her.
