Putting a PIN on Love Chapter 8
When Mom and I walked in, he was sitting in front of a wooden cabinet, staring blankly at an alarm clock on top of it. "Is this where this clock goes..."Mom and I looked around, exchanged a glance, and said nothing.Andrew was restoring the house to the way it used to be.The way it had looked right after my father passed away, before Sasha's parents moved in."Elena!"Hearing us behind him, Andrew all but leaped up from the floor. "You're back! I knew you'd come back!"I'm already restoring your dad's house. Just wait for me. I'll make it exactly the way it used to be, I swear!"As if possessed, he knelt on one knee in front of me, his voice hoarse. "As for the paintings Sasha's parents ruined, I've hired famous artists to recreate every single one, exactly as they were."Elena, let's start over, okay?"The room fell completely silent.I gently brushed away the hand touching the hem of my clothes."Andrew, happy endings where broken things get pieced back together aren't f

Andrew had never once considered that question.He stood rooted to the spot as everything around him blurred, as if he'd been swallowed by a thick fog.How was that possible?His gaze landed on the woman in front of him.Hadn't I long since been kept under his thumb, turned into a housewife who knew nothing of the world outside her own home?"I quit my job because of you."My expression didn't change. "I was ready to let everything go. To stay quietly by your side and help you take care of our home."All those years, whenever Andrew ran into trouble with his accounts or finances, I had quietly helped him out behind the scenes.Until the hole kept getting bigger, and his greed kept growing deeper.Ending up where he was now was entirely his own doing."You were too arrogant. Did you think that just because I bowed my head once, you could keep me under your foot forever? From the moment you trampled all over my bottom line, I never had any intention of letting you off."Andrew

Andrew had tracked down the hospital where Mom was having her surgery.Mom was still asleep. I stepped out of her room and faced him."How are you a shareholder in Chelston Holdings?"What is Yolanda Cohen to you? Why would you have her hold your shares for you?"Why didn't you ever tell me any of this?"Andrew fired the questions at me frantically.Watching how agitated he was, I found the whole thing laughable."Because one of Chelston's shareholders used to be my uncle."He had no children. I took care of him in his old age and saw him through to the end, and afterward, he gave his shares to me of his own accord."The person holding those shares on my behalf is my friend, Yolanda."She and I have been through life and death together. I chose to let her manage my stake, and I've only now taken it all back."As for why I kept it from you..."I watched his face grow paler by the second and let the corners of my mouth curve slightly. "Andrew, you hid even a bank card's PIN f

"What's going on?"The venue fell silent for a moment, then erupted into an uproar."Look, what's that on the screen? Copyright registration certificates?""So Sasha didn't paint these? Was she lying just now?"Sasha stood on stage, her face deathly pale, staring at the screen in disbelief.She had never imagined those old paintings had all been registered with the Copyright Office.But Andrew had told her they were just things his father-in-law had dashed off, and that it would be fine to use them to pave her way!"Mr. Cathcart, I..."She turned toward Andrew, only to find he wasn't even looking at her. He had already turned and was hurrying toward the exit.At the same time, the doors to the venue swung open."Ms. Reyes, you are suspected of unlawfully seizing another person's property and of inciting others to commit a crime. You are hereby summoned for questioning in accordance with the law. Come with us.""No, I didn't do anything! You have no right to arrest me!"Sash

When I rushed over to my mom's place, I found her clinging desperately to a man's leg and crying out, "These are Elena's things! You can't throw them away!""Get off me!"The man jerked his foot and kicked her straight into the corner."Mom!"My eyes burning with rage, I rushed forward and found Mom clutching her stomach in agony, moaning without end.And sitting in the middle of the living room, of all people, was Sasha.She was the one who'd called in the thugs who were clearing out the house."Mrs. Cathcart, my little brother is starting high school next semester, and he doesn't want to board at school. So Mr. Cathcart said he'd rent your mom's house to us for now."She set a bank card down on the table. "Here's three years' rent. I really did want to talk things over nicely with your mom, but she flat-out refused. So I had no choice but to call some people in."She covered her mouth and laughed, her face full of smug satisfaction.It wasn't until half an hour after I'd

It was Sasha's parents.The house my father, Arthur Banks, had left me had been transferred to a pair of strangers without my knowledge, and without them paying a single cent.Blood rushed to my head. I charged inside and threw open the study door.That room used to hold my father's paintings.There had been more than a hundred of them. Now the room was bare."Where are the paintings?""What paintings? I don't know. We threw them out ages ago."Sasha's mother, Rhonda Reyes, refused to meet my eyes. "Who are you, anyway? I'm calling the police!""Elena, what are you doing here?"At the same moment, Andrew's voice rang out from the doorway, and I watched him stride in."I came to my own house. Andrew, why was my house transferred to them?"I didn't even need to ask who had done it.It could only be the man in front of me, the man who had shared my bed for three years and knew almost everything about my background."Because Sasha's parents are getting on in years, and she wan
