The Lingering Coma "Olivia... get out of there!" David screamed. David ran at top speed towards Olivia and yanked her hand back. He was the one who was struck by the car. "David... Oh, no... why did you save me?" Olivia shrieked as the car sped past her, moments after hitting him. David had been hit by the car in Olivia's place and was immediately rushed to the hospital. The incident unfolded with horrific speed outside the luxurious building where Olivia had narrowly escaped a bomb and been on the verge of being hit by a car. David’s world felt completely overturned. Everything he had once taken pride in was now reduced to shards of bitter memory. He lay motionless in the hospital, his body weak from the near-fatal act of salvation. Even the years of accumulated regret seemed insufficient to change the stark reality. David knew this was the consequence of all his folly. He felt hollow. Though his body was injured, his hear
Unexpected Event ‘How did he manage to get proof that Daniel is still alive, and that he is still David’s biological son? Who is he? Are they intending to kidnap Daniel again?’ Olivia received this text from a mysterious person. Oscar was standing beside Olivia, and he noticed his sister’s ashen face. ‘What is it? What’s happened, Olivia? You look terribly pale!’ ‘Look, Oscar, who is daring to threaten me by sending pictures of Daniel,’ she answered, showing him the message and a few attached photographs. ‘But Daniel is at boarding school; he’s only just started. Daniel is safe, because I’ve ordered some people to watch over him day and night,’ Oscar countered. ‘Thank goodness! Please, keep investigating Bella’s location and everything that Uncle has been up to.’ ‘Olivia, I understand. I’ll make sure you’re secure. But what about Joshua? He’s desperate to see you.’ ‘I will meet him, because I know
Lingering Indecision “Why, Uncle?” Olivia asked. “He has succeeded now, he’s managed to find out all our plans. It seems he’s placed spies in the company, even all around us,” replied Oscar, the man wearing the dark suit. “What? How dare he! He has the audacity to put spies around us?” Olivia shot back. “Olivia, I’ll catch those spies so they can’t hurt you. Consider this my atonement for having hurt you so often in the past. I will protect you,” David interjected into their conversation. “Olivia doesn’t need you. A husband who abandoned his wife and child is unworthy of being their protector,” Oscar retorted, visibly annoyed, recalling everything the man had done to his younger sister. “Mr. Oscar, why do you speak that way? I love Olivia and I will protect her,” David insisted. “Prove it! If you can, I want you to always be there for Olivia, even if she doesn’t forgive you,” Oscar challenged.
Do I Deserve to be Your Grace's Ex-Wife? "You can only enjoy this fleeting happiness. Just wait! I will definitely return with something far greater," the mysterious man muttered. The event concluded, and Olivia had finally managed to turn the tables. She had succeeded and was no longer ridiculed as the ugly woman. Even David now adored her, begging her to return to him, no longer caring about Bella. Olivia had won, but her revenge was far from complete. The following morning, they were holding a meeting at the company. David sat at the end of the large table with a serious expression, yet his eyes occasionally flicked towards Olivia, who was seated opposite him. Although they were divorced, some things could not be erased—a palpable tension between them, as if time and distance had changed nothing. Only now, Olivia was no longer afraid. "What exactly do you want from this meeting, Olivia?" David asked in a grave tone, though a sens
A New Plan and the Mysterious Man's Attack "Olivia, just you wait for the main event. That man will avenge all my grudges. Even though David cast me aside, I still have countless ways to destroy you. If I can’t have David, then you’d both be better off dead." Bella had concocted a plan for revenge that was even grander than the last. In a distant place... "I need you to trust me. Just for a moment, for the sake of our strategy," David answered, his voice firm, concealing the jealousy he truly felt. He tried to move closer, but Olivia took a step back, maintaining her distance. Meanwhile, from behind the bedroom curtains, Clara Wu—Olivia's personal assistant—observed everything intently. Clara frowned slightly, a faint worry in her heart. She knew Olivia couldn’t fully trust David, yet she also understood the strategy currently underway. Clara walked closer, placing a coffee cup on the table. "Mr. David, you’re to
Bella’s Plan Fails “But… Oscar, I won’t lose this game of revenge. I will surely win, Oscar. I’m going to find out everything about who made me suffer these losses, and I’ll pay them back with the same pain they inflicted on me,” Olivia replied after a long silence. “Olivia, even if your heart is filled with revenge, never sacrifice Daniel. Every step you take is dangerous, so keep Daniel safe,” Oscar advised before leaving, abandoning Olivia to her thoughts. 'I won’t lose because they hurt me, and now they have to feel my pain,' she thought. It wasn’t that Olivia couldn't forget the past; she was simply too heartbroken by the fact she was discarded and divorced so suddenly, and even almost killed. She had confined herself to her home for the past few days, needing to plot something far more cunning than David and his mother had managed. The following evening, David arrived at Olivia’s d
