The moment they stepped inside the office building, her eyes swept across the room in astonishment. And this was just the visitor’s lounge? It looked rich. It smelled rich. The air itself probably had a higher net worth than her entire family combined. A woman in a perfectly pressed uniform stood inside, speaking politely with her father. Judging by the crisp blouse and clipboard in hand, that must be Mrs. Montemayor’s secretary—practically radiating "I control everyone's schedule, and I know it."

A few moments later, the secretary ushered them deeper into the labyrinth of wealth, guiding them into what could only be described as a corporate throne room.

The second she stepped into Mrs. Montemayor’s office, she froze. She had mentally braced herself to meet a dragon lady—a corporate terror in pearls and reading glasses, who could cut a man down with nothing but a raised eyebrow. But no—standing behind the executive desk was a woman of graceful age, smiling warmly like she had just bake

  • THROUGH THE WIND AND THE RAIN (ENGLISH)   CHAPTER 086 - The Fire Between Them

    Rome stared gloomily at her reflection in the mirror. Her expression was sullen, and her lips were pouty with frustration, forming a long, exaggerated frown.She was seated in front of her vanity table, having gone through several rounds of applying and reapplying makeup. She desperately wanted to be beautiful that night. More beautiful than Precilla.But it wasn’t easy. It wasn’t something that could be achieved so easily.Makeup could work wonders, yes, but they couldn’t perform miracles. Even if Precilla’s face were bare, she would still outshine her. No amount of effort could ever make Rome equal to her. She could never be in the same league.Precilla was just... too radiant.And to make matt

  • THROUGH THE WIND AND THE RAIN (ENGLISH)   CHAPTER 085 - The One She Shouldn’t Love

    Rome was utterly exhausted by the time she returned to the mansion that evening. After unexpectedly running into Precilla at the department store earlier that day, the other woman had invited her to grab a cup of coffee. To avoid answering questions about the father of her unborn child, Rome politely declined and told her she had somewhere else to be.Precilla had asked for her number, saying she would call her soon to set up a coffee date.Rome gave her the number, but she had no intention of meeting up.Not only did she not want to revisit the topic of her baby's father, she also felt increasingly small whenever she was around Precilla. The woman looked like a real-life princess, while she, Rome, felt like some ordinary girl off the street who had swallowed a watermelon. Her pride couldn't bear sitting beside her

  • THROUGH THE WIND AND THE RAIN (ENGLISH)   CHAPTER 084 - Faces from the Past

    As she entered their bedroom, Rome immediately furrowed her brows upon seeing two shopping bags placed neatly on top of the bed.Those bags came from a high-end men’s boutique.Cayson was home.That was her first thought. And judging by the packaging, he had done some shopping for himself. She assumed he must have bought clothes while staying at the office these past few days.Or was he really staying at the office?Could that have just been an excuse? Was he back to his old ways again?Ugh. She didn’t want to overthink.She walked further into the room and glanced at the bathroom door. She could hear fa

  • THROUGH THE WIND AND THE RAIN (ENGLISH)   CHAPTER 083 - A Quiet Absence, A Warm Encounter

    Two days. That was how long Cayson had not returned home after the day they went to the OB clinic for Rome’s ultrasound appointment.If he hadn’t called to check on her every now and then, she might have already panicked, worrying something bad had happened to him. He would call just to ask how she was, if she had eaten properly, or if she needed anything. But those were short, clipped calls, never giving her the chance to speak at length. She had the urge to ask when he would be coming home, but she didn’t want to hear him repeat what he had already said before; to go over the terms again before she started asking personal questions.Even Althea Montemayor would check in from time to time, asking about the baby. Rome would end up sending Cayson a message to relay updates, only to find out later that he had personally called his grandmother to

  • THROUGH THE WIND AND THE RAIN (ENGLISH)   CHAPTER 082 - Questions She Dare Not Ask

    After their visit to the clinic, they dropped by the supermarket to pick up some fruits she had been craving and would likely want over the next few days. Cayson had returned to the parking lot to get his wallet, which he had apparently left on the dashboard. While waiting for him to come back, she wandered down a few aisles, picking up boxes of milk, unsweetened biscuits, and other healthy snacks she could nibble on."Kiwi, mangoes, strawberries..." She picked them up one by one and carefully placed them in the cart. As she did so, her mind drifted back to that alcoholic punch she drank during Cayson’s party; one of the key reasons she was now standing exactly where she was today, carrying his child.But did she still regret it now?"Rome? Oh, we meet again!"

  • THROUGH THE WIND AND THE RAIN (ENGLISH)   CHAPTER 081 - Mother of His Children

    Her eyes widened slowly. Wow, this idiot, is he seriously planning to make her into a baby factory?But strangely, the thought sent a thrilling kind of chill down her spine. Not in a bad way, but in a strangely exciting one. Like a warm current running through her veins. Cayson wanted her to be the mother of his son. He wanted her to carry his second child. He did not want anyone else to bear his child. Only her.Oh, even if it was just a vision in her head, she could already picture their children running and playing in the mansion’s garden. A girl and a boy. The image danced vividly in her mind. She could not contain the excitement welling up inside her.But she did not want him to see the joy written across her face. Even if he seemed to be suggesting that she become a full-time baby-maker for the duration
