Chapter 7 Wendy's Past

Penulis: Green Rush
Wendy grabbed Yves and left the room. I had no idea what kind of agreement they'd struck there, but Yves's shoulders were hunched when he returned. His face was also pale due to fear and hopelessness.

Ms. Wollock had unbuttoned her trench coat and was lying on the sofa. The sight of her froze Yves up like a statue. His usually bright, glimmering face was filled with the stiff look of someone who was petrified with fear.

He turned his head away, as if that would give him an exit, but then he sa

  • I Let Him Crash Into Destiny   Chapter 10 Their Ends

    Some said Yves was beating a dead horse, given that Molly's husband was standing right there. Some said that Yves' reputation had long been destroyed, so one with any fame or fortune would give him a moment of their day, let alone Molly.Yves lay down on the ground and chortled, but his laughter turned into sobs. His tears caked his face with black eyeliner. None helped him up, and none comforted him.When he was done crying, he staggered to his feet and played a voice recording. It was what happened that day. The air was filled with Molly screaming words of filth as she humiliated and flogged Yves. Everyone could hear Yves' cries and pleas for mercy between her insults.Just then, Wendy's voice rang out, asking if Molly had had enough fun. She then told her men to haul the unconscious Yves away.That blew up the scene and sent a tsunami roaring across the event. The Hewitts and the Boltings tried to cover it up the best they could, but the cat was already out of the bag, and it

  • I Let Him Crash Into Destiny   Chapter 9 The Wedding

    I quietly stepped away from her to maintain some distance between us. "I have plans of my own, Ms. Hewitt, and being a kept man isn't part of it."Wendy kept stacking the deck, heaping promise after promise upon me. She thought I would waver, but I stopped her before she could cross the line and added, "Would you want your sister to live her whole life as a mistress if she were still alive?"That brought Wendy up short as her hand fell on her scar.…I passed by the hospital on my way back. Yves texted me, "Come over. We need to talk. This is important."I ran into the nurses who were done changing his dressing before I went in. They were whispering, claiming that the patient in bed 24 was kinky but couldn't even afford to pay the bills.I went around them and stood before bed 24. Yves was watching the news while playing with his hair. The sight of me filled him with gleeful satisfaction. "Wendy's marrying Brandon. How do you feel? The charm of an independent man, indeed. A

  • I Let Him Crash Into Destiny   Chapter 8 Her Scar

    The driver behind us honked at us when the light turned green. Wendy put her hands on the steering wheel and stepped on the gas. "Those girls are still keeping an eye on me, waiting for me to fail. Clearwater has to be a roaring success."Her voice was filled with the strength of someone who would keep going on without hesitation.When we got to my place, Wendy stuck her head out the window and checked the neighborhood's name. As she left, I noticed the smidgen of something lingering in her eyes. She wanted to say something, but my smile silenced her.That night, Fiona bombarded my phone with demands for money. "Yves is in a coma! He's in the hospital! And the bill's impossible!"I promptly blocked her number. …The next morning, I saw Fiona and Johnny standing outside the company long before I was by the entrance. Judging by how they were swiveling their heads and craning their necks, they were looking for me.It was peak hour, so there were always people going about at the

His usually bright, glimmering face was filled with the stiff look of someone who was petrified with fear.He turned his head away, as if that would give him an exit, but then he saw me. Yves came running up to me and grabbed my hand. "Felix, you have to help me! I don't want to stay with that pig! Please, help me clear my debt! You have the money!" His hands were tightly gripping mine, and they felt cold as ice, as a corpse.Poor Yves thought this was about money. Anything that could be solved with money was barely a blip in Wendy's eyes. If she could convince the business owners to invest, Wendy would make Yves sleep with these women even without the debt.Yves' fa

  • I Let Him Crash Into Destiny   Chapter 6 Slapped the Wrong Person

    Networking events weren't new to me. Wine and dine, and all that. Still, this kind of event was a first for me. Wendy picked out a big room, about 800 square feet. When I entered, I saw wealthy business owners, all pudgy and greasy, sitting on their own sofas.On the table before them were alcohol and imported food. In the center of the room was a stage lit by LED lights as a famous singer sang onstage.Rows of beautiful people came in, serving the business owners. Yves was sitting with Wendy, rolling his eyes at the guys who tried to approach her.Fortunately, Wendy had no interest in those people. I quietly took a seat in the corner and watched the event unfold while I kept my silence.The people only cared about indulgence, and not a word was said about the project. If no merchants were to set up shop in the resort town after it was built, the service part would take a great hit.Clearwater Resort Town was set in a slightly remote area. Only big names had the backing to set u

  • I Let Him Crash Into Destiny   Chapter 5 Arrogant Yves

    My presence surprised Yves, and he nearly fumbled. However, he sidled up to Wendy and whispered something into her ear like he was her boyfriend. Then, he extended his hand to me like he was better than me. "Hi, I'm Ms. Hewitt's secretary. Come to me if you have any questions."Wendy decided to go with the proposal I wrote. …After the meeting was over, she asked me to stay. She sized me up quietly as she sat across from me. "You didn't go to the hospital, did you?"It was apparent that Wendy had investigated Yves.Yves clenched his fists, his lips pursing into a thin line. Before I could answer, he said, "Felix's stomach got all better after you showed up, Ms. Hewitt. You must be blessed! Oh, and he's busy, so he didn't go."Wendy glanced at Yves through the corner of her eye and tapped her finger on the table. She took the meeting minutes from him and flipped through a few pages.There were a few lines on the first page, but otherwise, everything was blank.Garfield's co
