Chapter 38 Strayed

I'd love to release multiple chapters for you to enjoy. Sadly, for now, I can't. But thank you for being such understanding patrons!

Love Under False Pretense Chapter 39 I've Been Waiting
Andrea had never run so fast in her life compared to now as she passed through doors after doors in the hospital hallway. Just Doctor Abel telling her that Madeline was transferred to the ICU pushed her into overdrive.She had been told that this would soon happen and that it was only a matter of time. Madeline surviving this long was a miracle in itself and that Andrea shouldn’t be expecting anything else. That implied that a doctor calling about her meant that her organs were shutting down or that she had a heart attack.“Please, please, she’s okay. God, please,” she pleaded. The whole place felt like a labyrinth as she tried to find where the ICU was. A mask and a hat were enough as a disguise for her since no one was really expecting a celebrity to show up any minute there. She stopped every nurse and doctor on her way and asked them for directions.Until she got in front of the said area. Rightfully so, Doctor Abel and Madeline’s usual nurses waited for her at the entrance. Do th
Love Under False Pretense Chapter 40 I Tripped and Fell
“Slowly, slowly,” Andrea told Madeline as she assisted the older woman to get up from the bed. It had been a refreshing week for the actress, seeing her guardian get fitter each day. Now, she’s able to hold small conversations and move on her own, still requiring assistance from time to time.Madeline told her, “I’m fine, Andy. Don’t… worry about me.” Her croaky voice was also beginning to disappear, getting replaced by the captivating but strong one that she garnered over years of working as a lawyer.Andrea let her move on her own and smiled as Madeline, slowly but steadily, stood up and walked over to her wheelchair.“Ready for your therapy?” A nurse knocked at the door.“I am.” Madeline grinned back at Andrea who was holding the wheelchair’s handles. “Let’s go.” But as she pushed towards the exit, the nurse informed them, “Oh, I’ll be taking you for now, Ms. Madeline. Ms. Andrea, Doctor Abel wants to see you in his office.”Andrea got a look of concern from Madeline, but she shook
Love Under False Pretense Chapter 41 Happy Together
“Hey, Mads.” Andrea tapped Madeline’s shoulder to get her attention. “I have to go somewhere, so I’ll be seeing you later in your room, okay?” The older woman was now covered in sweat after just a few minutes of exercise and had to stay seated even if she wanted to get up to Andrea’s level.Madeline noticed a man waiting by the door, observing them. When he saw her stare, he gave a small smile and bow. Her brow twitched up at her. “What will you do?”Her inquisitive eye made Andrea chuckle nervously, “Oh, just loose ends at work I have to take care of. It’s mostly nothing.” She kissed the top of Madeline’s head.“Make sure you’ll be back at my room later, alright?” Madeline’s words were comforting. Throughout Andrea’s life, there was one person who had been constantly waiting for her without judgment. Even now that she has woken up and had the chance to reclaim her life, Madeline chose Andrea over a different life.“You and I have some serious talking to do.” Andrea suddenly felt swea
Love Under False Pretense Chapter 42 Two Weeks
“Two weeks? What does she need two weeks for?” Lilith screeched after Robert reluctantly reported Andrea’s response to Sebastian while she was there. Robert stood still as if his ears just didn’t get shattered and waited for Sebastian to speak. The assistant was irritated at how Lilith had been going to the office to get some progress about the CEO’s divorce like a vulture.Couldn’t she wait until he announces the split? Why did she have to always show up just to hear what Andrea had to say? It’s not like Andrea was going to say something about her.“Lily.” Robert saw that even Sebastian had a negative reaction to her grating response as the billionaire sighed and closed his eyes. “She didn’t ask for anything else but time. I’ll give it to her. And I could imagine her having a lot to do after Madeline woke up.”Lilith huffed on the couch and crossed her arms like a child and stayed silent throughout, giving everyone the cold shoulder. Why didn’t she just leave if she’s not going to co
Love Under False Pretense Chapter 43 Another Relationship
A few days before Madeline’s revelation to Ren and Robert, Andrea had come to her with the idea.“Did remember hearing me say anything about traveling?” Andrea fidgeted with her hands. Madeline narrowed her eyes, trying to remember anything.“Oh, I think I did. You said that we can go live in the US or Canada because you’ve saved up enough money, right?” The older woman felt proud of her still sharp memory. She looked at Andrea with a big smile which quickly faded. “Do you really mean it?”Andrea gave a subtle nod. “Only if you want to, I’m not going to force you. Now that you can have your life back, you can do whatever you want with it.”She felt Madeline’s cold but gentle touch, like a breeze kissing her skin. It greatly soothed the burning sensation that her anxiety brought. Then Madeline told her, “Ever since I met you, I promised that I’ll always be by your side. Because we’re family.”Madeline King was an orphan. And despite her bad experiences while in the system, transferring
Love Under False Pretense Chapter 44 Cutting You Off
The two friends had decided to spend a whole day to themselves where they could do whatever Ren wanted. The two now sat on the rooftop of a restaurant where both women ordered full meals each, catching the waiter by surprise.While Ren had the T-bone steak with a few side dishes added to it, Andrea had the seafood platter with onion rings and fries. For dessert, they ordered large brownie cuts topped with scoops of vanilla ice cream and chocolate drizzle.“It’s nice that you can finally eat these kinds of things with me. Ugh, you always being on a strict diet was so terrible! I never really enjoyed my food whenever I see you have grass as food,” Ren complained.“I know! I don’t think I could go back to those diets anyway,” Andrea giggled.“Thank you dearie for making her eat this much!” Ren loudly whispered to her friend’s stomach, earning more laughs.“By the way,” Ren’s expression turned more serious. “Speaking of dearie here, can we go buy some baby clothes, please?” She did her be
Love Under False Pretense Chapter 45 First Class
Andrea’s two weeks were up. Sebastian paced back and forth in his house. Today was the day they were going to tell the public about their divorce. Not that it was any of their business, but that’s a celebrity’s life for you. Everything had to be out in the open.What was Andrea planning? Was she going to release her own exposé about him? She wasn’t that stupid, right?If only she hadn’t asked for that much time, then Sebastian wouldn’t spend most of the past weeks thinking about her. Or is that what she planned all along?Sebastian had to laugh. “How could I be such a fool? Of course, until now she’s still trying to manipulate me. That’s the kind of person she is.” He shook his head in disappointment at himself.“Sir Adams? What are you still doing here? I thought you were going to California?” Rose entered the living room after hearing laughing sounds.“I am. Just waiting for the car to pick me up,” Sebastian answered.“Ever since Andy left, he has lost his mind,” the housekeeper tho
