LOGINChapter 81: Seeking CustodyARTHUR's POV:"Good morning, babe! Wake up, I prepared breakfast for you," Cindy warmly greeted me, showering my face with kisses.I opened my eyes to the sound of her voice, which was so sweet and pleasant to hear. Cindy had an angelic voice, and hearing her speak so tenderly always brought a smile to my face."Are you not mad at me anymore?" I asked immediately. I was still a bit sleepy because she had woken me up so early."I was just upset with you yesterday, Arthur. But it doesn't mean I was truly angry... My love for you is still greater than my desire for that resort. And I realized that you were right. I shouldn't rush into something that I know comes with heavy consequences. So please don't think about what happened yesterday anymore. Whatever I said to you, I didn't mean it," Cindy said as she gently stroked my cheek.My worries eased up a bit because she swallowed her pride so suddenly. Her perspective on life had changed, signaling that our rela
Chapter 80: Secret TruthsCINDY's POV:"YOU NEED TO CONVINCE MR. ARTHUR. That is what I repeatedly remind you, Cindy. But why haven't you done it yet?" my father lectured me the moment I arrived home.I came straight here after Arthur rejected the resort I wanted to get.Out of frustration with him, I decided to tell my father what happened during our conversation earlier.However, my timing was bad because I ended up getting scolded by him.He is Mr. Facundo—the man who took care of me, put me through school, and treated me like his real daughter. That is why I owe him a lot; he gave me a good life. Mr. Facundo was a businessman whose name is no longer prominent in the business world. His business went bankrupt because of Arthur, who became his main competitor. Whatever products my father released to sell, Arthur copied them. This caused my father's business to fail gradually until he was removed from the list of successful business owners in the Philippines. Because of this, my fath
Chapter 79: Unexpected Proposals and Unsettled PastANGIE’s POV:"How was your meeting, Mrs. Angie? Did you agree to what they wanted?" my attorney asked when he picked me up outside the company.I called him as soon as Mr. Arthur and I finished talking. He quickly returned to the place where he dropped me off and picked me up there.Now, we are together at a restaurant to eat and pass the time.The ambiance inside is good and very relaxing, so I do not regret choosing to eat here.According to my attorney, this restaurant is already popular among wealthy people because the owner cooks delicious food himself.The person behind this business is truly talented. He can do everything. He knows how to manage a business and cook different types of dishes. Whoever wins his heart will be lucky because he knows so much about cooking."As I said earlier, I will not easily let Mr. Matthew's resort go to them... What do they think, that they are blessed?" I said with a laugh as I took a spoonful
Chapter 78: Broken PromisesARTHUR's POV:"So what is your decision, Mr. Arthur? Are you willing to give up this company for your fiancée's dream resort?" Angie asked, sitting calmly on the couch across from me, waiting for my answer.It seemed she had completely outsmarted me. She knew how important this company was to me, so now she was backing me into a corner to make it hard for me to decide. She had a faint, knowing smile on her lips that made my chest tighten with anger.Ever since the beginning, I had protected this company with my whole life. It was not just a business; it was the only remaining memory of my late wife—the loving mother of my son, Mark. Every wall, every project, and every milestone of this company was built on the memory of her. That was why it was so deeply painful and impossible for me to trade the company I had poured my blood, sweat, and tears into just for the luxury beach resort Cindy wanted.It was not that easy to grant her request. In fact, it was tot
Chapter 77: The ProposalANGIE's POV:"Oh? Why do you both have that kind of reaction? Am I not welcome in this company?" I said to break the silence that had formed between the three of us.Until now, they were just staring at me, seemingly having no intention of speaking.Their eyes literally widened after I said that I am Mr. Matthew's wife. They couldn't believe it. They couldn't wrap their minds around the fact that the woman they looked down on actually had something to show for herself."I think you're not interested in our meeting anymore. You're standing there like you're mute and can't speak. So maybe I should just leave this company," I said again. I was about to leave the office when Cindy suddenly stopped me."No... Don't leave... We're going to talk about the resort. So please take a seat, Mrs. —?""Angie... Angie is my name. But you can call me Mrs. Angie," I told Cindy, introducing myself.She probably didn't hear Arthur mention my name earlier, which is why I introduc
Chapter 76: A Shocking RevealANGIE's POV:I agreed to Arthur’s request to meet with them tomorrow.My attorney told me about it, and I just approved their request. My lawyer said they were insisting on adjusting our meeting location to the resort they wanted to buy.I realized then that they were acting like dogs chasing after a business deal that I had no intention of giving them.They probably thought tomorrow's meeting between the three of us would be a huge jackpot for them. But they had no idea that the person they were going to face was none other than me.It was an exciting moment for me. How would they react when they saw me and found out that I was Matthew’s wife?I was sure they would look like helpless chicks put inside a freezer, because their lips would definitely turn pale from shock."Mrs. Angie, please don't forget Mr. Matthew's advice. Don't easily trust people who could ruin his name," my lawyer reminded me before I faced the first challenge of my new journey as a b
CHAPTER 2ANGIE’s POVI spent the next three hours burying myself in work, trying to drown out Lesly’s accusations against my boyfriend. Her words were still ringing in my ears, and I couldn't stop overthinking—especially since Mark still hadn't reached out to me.It’s a difficult situation to be i
CHAPTER 1ANGIE's POV;"You’re getting quite fat, aren’t you, Angie? Your body has changed so much. Look at those rolls—they're practically in three layers. You should go on a proper diet so your boyfriend doesn't leave you for a sexier woman," my aunt remarked as she passed by the table where I sat
CHAPTER 5:ANGIE’S POVWhen I returned home, my mother was overflowing with worry. Any mother would react this way seeing her daughter—who had left the house perfectly fine—returning in such a battered state."Goodness, Angeline! What happened to you? Who did this? And wait, where is your boyfriend
CHAPTER 4ANGIE’s POVMark’s father returned to the room pushing a wheelchair. He was clearly serious about his promise to drive me home himself.I watched in silence as he unfolded the wheelchair. I realized he intended to use it so he wouldn't have any trouble moving me downstairs. Once the wheel
