~ AUTHOR’S POV đ» ~-Two days have passed since Madame Beatrice spoke to Veronica. Every day, every hour, she thinks about their conversation.Every time Beatrice thinks about their conversation, she cries, which leads to a breakdown. She screams and cries, throwing away everything she can hold.Night had fallen deep by then. Beatrice had managed less than an hour of sleep when a dream suddenly stirred from her sleep.“Every last one of you is despicable!” Beatrice screamed in rage. “May you all perish!”Mr. Ethan, who had just left his wife’s room to check on her, hurried back in the second he heard Beatrice’s scream.He caught Beatrice throwing away the pillows and comforter from the bed, which were the only things left in that room.“Beat...rice...”Hearing her husband’s voice, Beatrice felt no joy instead, her a

I love you more than my own life.”Meanwhile, Dashiell, who was outside of his hotel room, was slamming the door angrily.Dashiell took a deep breath, having figured out a way to get past the pa
NATHLIEâS POV đ-I let Tyler cry endlessly against my waist, waiting for him to stop.I never wanted to see him like this again, especially because of me.âTy...â I said, breaking the silence as his sobs subsided.He stayed wrapped around my waist. He moved his face away from my waist.âYouâre important to me... I canât stand you being like this because of me. And if I donât do this, thereâs a chance youâll never be free.â I swallowed hard, before continuing. âItâs better if end our friendship thatâs we already ruined.âHis eyes snapped toward me.It pained my heart to see Tylerâs eyes so red, brimming with wetness, and traces of dried tears on his face.I removed his embrace from my waist.I rose and reached into the drawer to take the ring heâd given me.When I looked back at him, he was already standing. His eyes were pleading through tears.I stepped closer.
NATHLIE’S POV đ-“What happened there?” Tyler asked as we entered the kitchen. “Why is the fridge like that? Where did that dent come from?”“Oh, that? I was cleaning and accidentally dropped the chair heavily against it. That’s why the fridge looks like that.” I gave the same excuse again, just as I had told Donna before.That was what happened when Calix slammed the chair against the fridge.If he had struck it twice that night, he would surely have completely ruined the fridge.“Does that still work? Do you want me to buy a new one tomorrow?” Tyler asked concernedly, then sat down.“There’s no need to buy a new one. The fridge still works perfectly, it just looks broken because the door is dented.”“Are you sure?”“Hm-hm. Don’t worry about that, Ty. Let’s eat. I’ve

We canât all be together in this place.I havenât met Dashiell in person yet, but Iâve talked to him on video calls when he happens to be at the apartment while Iâm talking to Tyler and Sapphire.Sapphire told me that Dashiell was kind, and he was her second-favorite uncle. That put me at ease about her coming to my apartment â as long as Tyler was there too.âMommy, why isnât Dada and Sapphire here yet?â Xander asked.âTheyâll both be here soon. Letâs set the table so we can eat with them as soon as they arrive.ââYe-hey! Iâm excited to see them!ââMe too, my Little one.

NATHLIEâS POV đ-âHarrison... your joke isnât funny.ââBut youâre smiling.â he said laughing. âBut seriously, Iâm telling you the truth. Thatâs exactly why Attorney Steel wants to speak with Calix.ââHow did that happen...? Itâs not legal? Does that mean theyâre not really married, right?ââIt seems like that.ââI donât understand. How did that happen? Everyone knows... Calix even used to boast about it back then, saying Veronica was his wife,â I murmured, bewildered. Before I knew it, I was smiling. âHow did things⊠turn out like this?â âWell, itâs like this, Nat...âHe explained to me what Anthony had told him.âIf you want to check whether Iâm telling the truth, you can talk to Attorney Steel. But, itâs better not to talk to him about this matter.ââWhy not?â I want to know everything.âHe keeps this from everyone because of the arrangement he has with Calix. Like I said, he was forced and had no choice but to tell me about this matter.âIn that wave of happiness, I felt myself
