Elena looked surprised.

“We already talked about this, right?” Bryan said, gently touching her from behind, trying to keep up the act.

But Elena was confused. She didn’t know who the old man in the wheelchair was, and she didn’t understand why Bryan was suddenly being so nice to her.

“Excuse me, I have to go now!” Elena said sharply and quickly walked away.

Grandpa Morris laughed. “She’s such a sweet, shy girl. I already like her!”

“Go after her, son!” he told Bryan.

Bryan apologized to his grandfather and ran after Elena. He wanted to know why she helped him and to thank her for saving him.

“Why are you always in such a hurry?” Bryan asked, pulling Elena back as she walked fast down the hallway.

“What was that all about? Who is that old man? And why did you tell him we’re... a thing?” Elena shot back with questions.

Bryan took a deep breath. He had a lot to ask Elena, but all he could say was, “Thank you for helping me…” He paused, trying to remember her name.

“You’re welcome! I hope you paid him because that money means a lot to me!” Elena said, avoiding the fact that Bryan had just lied to the old man.

“Oh, so you did it just for the money? What kind of woman are you? Always tricking people to get what you want! You even made me fight with Doris just to get paid?” Bryan’s voice got louder, his eyes wide as he changed the subject.

Elena was shocked by his sudden change. That wasn’t what she expected from the man she just helped close a multi-million deal for.

“Are you serious? I have nothing more to say to you! I’m leaving! Even if I don’t get paid, I’ll consider that I’ve paid you back for helping me the other day!” Elena said proudly and walked away from Bryan.

Back at the old restaurant, her mind was racing. She thought about where to go next because the old woman there had offered her shelter after she agreed to help Jack, who was her grandson.

She wondered how to explain to the boy why she hadn’t been paid yet.

“There she is! I heard you did great!” Theresa, the old lady who ran the restaurant, called out, opening her arms for a hug.

Elena hugged Theresa but didn’t smile.

“What’s wrong? Why do you look so sad?” Theresa asked, noticing Elena’s mood.

“Where is Jack?” Elena asked coldly, ignoring the woman's question.

Theresa went to get her a glass of water and said, “He went to get his share of the pay. I heard the CEO paid them well.”

Elena sighed in relief. “Thank God he got paid!” At least the boy got his money, so she could ask the old woman for another night’s stay without being scared.

“You look tired. Come inside and rest,” Theresa said kindly.

Elena thanked her and went into the small house behind the restaurant where Theresa lived. Elena had to stay there with her because it was the only refuge she could get.

Inside the room, Elena kept thinking about everything that happened that day. She wished she hadn’t agreed to help.

She turned over on the thin mattress, staring at the neatly folded clothes beside her.

“I did it for the money. I need money to survive here. But it’s so unfair I didn’t get paid,” she whispered sadly.

A few tears slipped down her cheeks, but she quickly wiped them away. Crying wasn’t an option for her.

After a while, she fell asleep.

Jack ran into the restaurant as usual, asking his grandmother, “Where is that lady?”

“What’s wrong? She’s asleep. Did you get your payment?” Theresa asked, worried.

“I got paid in full! And even got a bonus! She did amazing! The CEO signed the contract right away because of her!” Jack said happily.

“Oh, I thought she failed!” Theresa teased.

After chatting a bit, Jack gave Theresa a brown envelope with money and said it was for Elena.

“She forgot to ask for her money before leaving, so the boss told me to give this to her for a job well done,” Jack said before running off.

Theresa watched him go and muttered, “I bet he’s going to spend that money on gambling.”

Later that night, at the hotel, the Millers family was having a small party to celebrate the multi-million deal.

Grandpa was the last to join because he took longer to freshen up.

But when he sat down, he looked unhappy.

“What’s wrong, Grandpa?” Bryan asked softly.

“Where is your fiancée? Did you tell her not to come? Or are you still trying to keep her away from me?” Grandpa asked loudly, catching everyone’s attention immediately.

Bryan scratched his head, looking at the faces of the members for answers “She’s not feeling well. She went to the hospital,” he lied.

“What kind of man are you? She’s not feeling well and you let her go to the hospital alone? With no one to help her? I’m done with this dinner. Take me to the hospital right now!” Grandpa shouted.

    “Take you to the hospital? No way! You said you didn't want to go to one anymore!” Bryan stammered, trying to find excuses.“I know I said that, but this is different! I want to see her and find out how she’s doing!” Grandpa Morris insisted.Bryan’s mind raced. He needed a solid excuse to stop his grandfather from going to the hospital, or he would ruin everything.“What are you waiting for? Get the car ready!” Grandpa Morris instructed the driver standing in the corner.He also called for his caregiver to come closer. Bryan knew he had to step in.“You know she comes from a strict family. Her dad is an army general who protects her fiercely!” Bryan lied, but Grandpa Morris believed him.The old man waved the caregiver away, giving Bryan a small sigh of relief.“Tell me more about her dad! Where is she from? What’s her family’s name? She sounds like she comes from a powerful background!” Grandpa Morris leaned in, grinning as if he had won a prize.Bryan started to sweat; he didn’t kno

    “Her house? I need to call Jack first,” the messenger said, fumbling with the phone in his shaky hand. The messenger felt anxious, worried that the girl had stolen something from the CEO and that they might expect him to refund the money he was being paid or pay for the damage.When they arrived at the old restaurant, Jack brought his grandmother to share what she knew about Elena. Theresa appeared nervous.“I’m not here to hurt anyone. I don’t understand why you’re all acting so strangely,” Bryan tried to clear the air before asking.“Where is Elena? I need to speak with her privately!” he insisted, using her name as if he was familiar with her.“She went to the hospital; she wasn’t feeling well this morning,” Theresa replied.Bryan decided to wait but his patience was wearing thin. He excused himself, took note of the hospital's name, and set off to find her.“Thank you, doctor. I’ll be more careful next time!” Elena said gratefully, relieved that her baby was okay. But she was star

    “What? No, she can't go back there!” Bryan jumped in to defend Elena, stopping Grandpa Morris from trying to convince her. “Let’s just head back to the hotel; we’re checking out today.”“The hotel can wait. I have nothing to do at home. I just want to spend some time with your fiancée!” Grandpa Morris insisted.“Then let’s find a better place, not here where sick people are!” Bryan said, forcing a smile at Elena while pushing Grandpa Morris’s wheelchair.Bryan rode with Elena in one car while Grandpa Morris and his men followed in another.“Please, Elena, just help me out again. I promise I’ll pay you well,” Bryan pleaded.“How long is this going to go on? You keep deceiving everyone,” Elena replied.“No, I’m not. I didn’t expect my grandfather to show up, and the Choi group wouldn’t sign a deal with a bachelor. I had to find someone to fill that role; I didn’t want to let my family down,” Bryan explained, making it easier for Elena to agree to join them.“Bryan said your dad is a gen

    “I’m not embarrassed, just take the ring!” Elena gulped and looked at the guests staring at her. She felt foolish and weak, trying to decide what to do. She thought of leaving Bryan and his ring at that spot but it might send the old man back to the hospital, but it would at least save her from the humiliation she felt right now.“Just take the ring; I’ll tell Grandpa you called it off later,” Bryan whispered, with a reassuring face.Elena scratched her neatly styled hair, her hands trembling, which her heart contemplated on what to do.“Come on, pretty lady, say yes already!” one man shouted,Elena was making them wait for long.Without saying anything, Bryan slid the ring onto her finger. The crowd clapped, but Elena stayed calm, refusing to smile and perplexed.She wondered why she allowed Bryan to do that, she had the whole opportunity to run out but she didn't.She remained quiet throughout the dinner, which felt more like her engagement party. Strange faces congratulated her, a

    Elena smashed the paper on top of the table and walked out from the room angrily.She went back to the room she slept in, picked up the clothes she wore the day Bryan took her and walked out from the mansion angrily without looking back.As she walked through the Estate, tears escaped from her eyes. She felt so cheap and stupid, she blamed herself for pretending to be Bryan's fiancée at first.“ How can I get into a contract marriage with him with this baby inside of me?” Elena murmured.As much as the money written on the contract was huge, she couldn't bear to give birth to her child under the roof of another man.“ What if he claims the baby? What if Carlos comes back to take him?” Elena pondered all those questions.She decided to go to the court straight instead of the restaurant, she had to send the divorce papers to Carlos first, she didn't want him to be the one to send it to her first.After spending long hours at the magistrate court they promised her that her mail would be

    Chapter 12“What? I thought you said I could stay as long as I wanted! Why are you kicking me out now?” Elena asked Theresa with a surprised face.“Because your fiancé thinks we're the ones keeping you from him,” Theresa replied.Angry, Elena stood up and went outside to find Bryan.“What’s going on?” she shouted at him without any pleasantries.“My grandfather is in the hospital. His blood pressure shot up when I told him you called off the engagement because you wouldn’t sign the contract papers,” Bryan explained, but Elena cut him off.“How does that concern me? Get a wife and leave me alone!” she snapped, trying to walk away. Bryan grabbed her arms firmly, stopping her from leaving.“Please help me, Elena. Just stay with me for a year, then you can go. I’ll take good care of your child too, just help us, I promise I won't go overbound,” he pleaded.Elena remembered how she begged him at the airport and how he saved her.“This is a big request, you know right?” she said gently.“Ye

    Chapter 13“I don’t owe you an explanation, Doris. Why are you here?” Bryan asked, coldly.Doris began to cry and sniffle. “So my being here annoys you? This is the first time you’ve asked me why I came instead of just carrying me up to your desk to devour me.Have you lost interest in me? Who is she? What’s her family’s name?” she kept asking. Bryan didn’t deny anything, which confirmed what she heard was true.Bryan rubbed his head, trying not to escalate the situation since his secretary was watching. “Let’s go to my office; you’re making a scene here,” he replied, walking back to his office with Doris following behind, looking like a sad child.Grandpa Morris went to the mall and bought various baby clothes and toys, excited to welcome his great-grandson. “Where did all this come from? Who bought it?” Elena asked the maid who was unpacking boxes in her room.“They’re for you, ma’am! Grandpa sent them,” the maid replied, heading out for more.Elena stood up and went outside to find

    Chapter 14Elena stayed calm. She didn’t want to talk about Carlos; she hoped never to see him again. Bryan waited for her to say something, but she just looked at the floor. He realized she wasn’t ready to discuss it.“I know it’s hard for you to talk about him, but don’t you think sharing would help us?” Bryan asked again.“There’s nothing to say. He’s not part of our lives anymore,” Elena replied, her smile fading.“Just tell me his name, where he works, and what your relationship was like before it went bad. I hardly know anything about you,” Bryan urged.“Stop it, Bryan! It won’t work! In a year, everything between us will end. Why does it matter?” Elena shot back.Bryan understood she was stubborn. He thought if he was patient, she might share when she was ready. “I just want to know if he’s someone we can handle if things get worse,” he said softly.“You don’t need to worry about him. He’s nobody!” Elena assured him, and her confidence made Bryan believe her.“Then we have not

    Chapter 15As soon as Elena noticed that Doris had left her clothes behind, she quickly grabbed them, leading to both of them tumbling down the stairs together.“What is happening here? Who are you, and how dare you push my granddaughter in-law down?” Grandpa Morris exclaimed as he arrived just in time to witness the chaos.Servants rushed in, carefully lifting Elena to check if she was injured. Both women had minor scratches on their heads, but thankfully, Elena was nearly at the bottom of the stairs when the incident occurred.Doris, seeing the old man, decided to play her cards right. She started crying, “Elena pushed me down the stairs! I only wanted to ask her some questions because I was lost in the house, and she got angry!” Her tears flowed easily, a tactic she was all too familiar with.But Grandpa Morris was not swayed by her theatrics. He rushed over to Elena, who was still lying on the floor, groaning in pain. “If anything happens to my granddaughter, and the child, I swe
