Mag-log inNATHALIE’S POV 🍃-After what had happened, Chloe accompanied me to shop for the groceries I needed, and afterwards invited me to dine at a restaurant.While the waiter was setting down Chloe’s orders, I messaged Donna that I would be late home like we had discussed.She replied, “It’s okay. Take your time.”I sent another message: “I’ll be back before dinner. I’m really sorry.” then I hid my phone in my bag.When I returned my attention to the table, I was a little surprised by the amount of food on the table.“Gracious, Nathalie! We haven’t met in so long… yet you still went out of your way to avoid me when we saw each other in Florida.”“I’m sorry about that. My mind were… a bit of a mess at that time.”“It’s okay. I understand. I was hurt and a little upset, but
NATHALIE’S POV 🍃-“V-Veronica...” he echoed, perfectly mimicking the way I’d uttered her name, my voice thick with astonishment and dread.She laughed softly, after a few seconds she dropped it.“Your whole face is so obvious that you feel guilty about being a hooker.”I drew my cart back just enough to maneuver it, turning to walk away from her.It was better to stay away from her.No matter what I say and do... I have nothing against to a legal wife.“Did you enjoy my special delivery?” She murmured, standing right before me until our shoulders almost brushed against each other.I came to a halt. “I’m thankful you didn’t used AI, but hired a capable editor instead. It seems to me AI could never achieve that level of quality in edited photos and videos.”“What did you say? What are you mak
VERONICA’S POV 🍃-I expected Beatrice wouldn’t be all right when I visited her, but I didn’t think she’d be in such a terrible state. Her hair was messy, she was sitting on the bed and seemed to be thinking far away or maybe she was thinking about what I had said to her.“Beatrice,” I called calmly. She looked truly wretched, like she was grieving a death.She turned to me. She stood up and came closer.Oh, gosh! What the h*ll!Her hair was oily. It looked like she hadn’t bathed in days. Well, she didn’t smell anything bad. Her eye bags were so dark and deep, and her lips were terribly dry. The powerful intimidating Beatrice Watson that who everyone looked up to, everyone is respected her, feared — I couldn’t believe my eyes, seeing her in such a
VERONICA’S POV 🍃-As soon as I left the room, I saw Wallace. He was obviously surprised to see me. His eyes grew to the size of saucers as Harrison walked out of the hotel room.“Veronica—” Harrison trailed off abruptly as he caught sight of Wallace right here, facing me.I haven’t set foot here in ages, and it looks like I’m in a hotel that belongs to Wallace’s wife.“Is there something I don’t know?” Wallace asked coldly but I could tell he was teasing us.“Ugh! Stay away from me!” I screamed at them both before walking out.“What trouble have you caused this time?” I heard Wallace laugh as he asked Harrison...I went to Ethan and Beatrice’s mansion — to my in-law's mansion.The night I let Calix into the guest room, I voluntarily left this mansion for a while. I
VERONICA’S POV 🍃-I packed my things.“Veronica, where are you going?”“To my parents.”I hurried out of the restaurant, got straight into my car, and drove to that hellish house.“Where are my parents?” I asked the freaking maid who opened the door when I got there.“I don’t know, Ma’am.”I felt my temper rise at the sheer idiocy of this servant.“Get out of my sight. You’re useless!”“I-I’m sorry, Ma’am,” she apologized, then left in a panic.Where are my so-called ‘amazing parents’? At the company?I was about to go outside when I saw my parents enter. I immediately approached them.“What did you do to my company?! Why is it going downhill? You said and assure me you would protect this company! I worked hard for it with my blood and sweat. When you asked me for this, I agreed because you said you would protect it!”My father jabbed his finger at me in rage. “What can we possibly do? We stand no chance against your husband. Deal with him, talk to your husband.”I was stunned. “Cal
VERONICA’S POV 🍃-The next day I went straight to the rooftop.I rolled up the sleeves of my uniform.I didn’t cover the long cuts all over my wrist.I held the blade tightly, which made my palm bleed.There’s nothing left to hide. Calix already knows what happened to me, he saw it all with his own eyes. I just know he’ll look at me differently now, he’ll hate what he saw. He’ll be disgusted by me. He’ll leave me.I pressed the blade firmly against my wrist. I smiled as I saw blood, then I slashed it.I would’ve done this a long time ago, if Calix hadn’t shown up that day.In this place where I met someone who accepted me and didn’t judge me, I would end my life.I slashed my wrist again, harder, deeper, and I made sure there was a vein to hit.I drew in a shaky breath.The ache was overwhelming, stinging like fire. I couldn’t hold back my tears any longer. The pain was too sharp.I couldn’t feel my hand anymore, followed by my whole body. My eyelids were getting heavy.“VERONICA!”
NATHALIE’S POV-He took off his white coat, set it on the table, and then gathered up all the paper bags again.I put the paper bag containing the teddy bear on the couch and then followed him to the kitchen.“I’m going to take a shower first. Can you handle being alone here?”“Yes. I can handle it
NATHALIE’S POV-Later that evening, upon Sir Calix’s return, he found Brianna asleep on the sofa. She hadn’t woken up since she fell asleep there.“What’s Brianna doing here?” Sir Calix asked, astonished and surprised, as he came closer to his daughter.“We were searching for an amusement park we
NATHALIE’S POV-As the night came, Brianna and I were equally weary..We played touch football until Mr. Calix arrived. If he hadn’t come, we wouldn’t have noticed the time.That explains it; Brianna was completely zonked out and fast asleep as I emerged out of the bathroom.She’s in her dad’s room
NATHALIE’S POV-The situation is a bit different for all of us now, especially for Brianna.Earlier, Donna, Brianna, and I went together to get treated for what happened to us. Following that, we all shared the snacks.Everyone was so thrilled to be with Brianna that she ended up getting tired and
