THE BILLIONAIRE’S WRONG BRIDE 36. A HEART THAT COULD NOT STAY STILL
The hospital discharge papers were signed just before noon.Mira had imagined leaving the hospital would feel like stepping out of a bad dream. Instead, as she stood beside the bed while a nurse checked the final details, she felt a little nervous. The hospital had become familiar over the past few days: the steady footsteps in the corridor, the soft beeping of machines, and the nurses who checked on her even when she insisted she was fine.Now she was going home.Ethan stood near the door with her handbag in one hand and her folded cardigan over his arm. He had barely spoken since the doctor gave them the all-clear, but he had listened carefully to every instruction and asked questions Mira would never have thought to ask.“You should take it easy for the next few days,” the nurse reminded her. “No strenuous activity, and make sure you take your medication as prescribed.”“I will,” Mira promised.Ethan gave the nurse a firm nod. “I’ll make sure she does.”Mira glanced at him. “I can

THE BILLIONAIRE’S WRONG BRIDE 35. THE DAUGHTER WHO ONCE HAD EVERYTHING
Liana Bennett was lounging on her bedroom sofa, scrolling through her phone when her father entered.She barely looked up.“Finally. You have come to see me”Charles closed the door behind him.”I went to the Kim’s company”“Have you spoken to Ethan?”He loosened his tie.“Yes.”Liana immediately sat upright.“And?”“He’s agreed to consider help settle things with the prosecution .”Her eyes brightened.“Really? So he’s finally going to stop all this nonsense?”Charles didn’t answer immediately.“Dad?”“There’s a condition.”Her smile disappeared.“What condition?”He walked toward the armchair and sat down.“You’ll be leaving the country tomorrow.”For several seconds, Liana simply stared at him.Then she laughed.“What?”“You heard me.”“Dad, stop joking.”“I’m not joking, Liana.”Her smile vanished completely.“Leaving the country? Where?”“Veloria.”“Veloria?”She repeated the name as though he had spoken another language.“Are you serious?”Charles rubbed his forehead.“It’s been
THE BILLIONAIRE’S WRONG BRIDE 34. A FATHER’S HUMILIATION
The secretary looked up as the elevator doors opened.“Good morning, sir. How may I help you?”Charles Bennett adjusted his suit jacket, trying to maintain the composure he had struggled to gather throughout the drive.“I’m here to see Ethan Kim.”“Do you have an appointment?”“No. But inform him that Charles Bennett is here.”The secretary hesitated before picking up her telephone.A few minutes later, she put it down.“Mr. Kim is currently occupied. I’m afraid he won’t be able to receive you.”Charles clenched his jaw, his heartbeat accelerating.“Tell him it’s important.”“Sir, I’ve already informed him.”He stared at her for a moment before walking toward the waiting area.He wasn’t leaving.Not today.On the other side of the door, Ethan Kim sat behind his expansive office desk, reviewing a document on his computer.After a while, his secretary knocked and peeked into the room.“Sir, Mr. Bennett is still downstairs.”Ethan didn’t look up.“And?”“He still insists on seeing you.”
THE BILLIONAIRE’S WRONG BRIDE 33. THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US
Mrs. Bennett paused outside Mira’s hospital room, the bouquet in her hand suddenly feeling rather ridiculous.She knocked.“Come in.”Mira turned from the window as the door opened. Surprise crossed her face, followed quickly by guarded indifference.“Hello, Mira.”“Mrs Bennett.” Mira murmured.Mrs. Bennett approached the bed and placed the flowers on the bedside table. “How are you feeling?”“I’m fine.”“You’re in hospital. You can’t possibly be fine.”“I’m getting better.”Her mother pulled a chair closer. “I heard you were admitted and thought I should come and see you.”Mira glanced at her. “You thought you should?”Mrs. Bennett frowned. “I’m worried about you.”“Are you?”“Must you make everything difficult?”“I’m not making anything difficult. I’m just surprised you’re worried.”Mrs. Bennett had no answer.“I know we haven’t been close lately,” she said. “But I’m still your mother.”Mira’s expression barely changed. “Lately? We have never been. Being my mother and being there fo
THE BILLIONAIRE’S WRONG BRIDE 32. THE PRICE FOR HER MISTAKES(II)
Her hand snapped to the side.For several seconds, the room fell completely silent.Liana stood frozen, one hand slowly rising to her cheek. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at her father.He had never hit her before.Not once.“D-Dad…”“Don’t you dare call me that!”His voice thundered through the study.“Do you know what you’ve done? Do you have the slightest idea how much damage you’ve caused this family?”Liana shook her head, tears immediately gathering in her eyes.“I didn’t do anything…”“You did nothing?” He stepped even closer to her. “I let you be all these years, because you showed your devilish side only privately. But now, you publicly humiliated Mira. You assaulted her in front of everyone, and now the entire country has seen what kind of person you are!”“It wasn’t supposed to happen like that!”“Then how was it supposed to happen? Were you expecting everyone to applaud you?”Liana’s face crumpled.“She provoked me! She’s always acting innocent, making everyo
