Elizabeth was in the hospital attending to a patient when she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She didn't reach for it until she was done. “You should be fine in a couple of weeks given you don't do anything that puts pressure on your right leg, or you may have it contaminated which would leave the hospital no choice but to cut it off to save your life.” She told the young man who had broken his leg when he went on a hiking journey.He nodded and closed his eyes. Elizabeth didn't waste any more time with him as she walked out of the ward. She took off her gloves and dropped them in the bin, then took out her phone.She smiled when she saw the pictures sent to her and hastened to her office. Daniel really did take her bait. She was together with him last night and spilled the news that Taylor would be at Glass House Entertainment the following day. She didn't expect the man, who claimed not to be listening to her, to actually act on her words. But she was thankful for that. Now
The first thing Taylor felt when she opened her eyes the next morning was pain in her lower body. She felt someone cover her with a duvet and glanced up to see Becky. Becky smiled, the lines on her face creasing. Taylor sighed and closed her eyes again, recalling the horrible night she had just been through. Her hatred for Andrew finally reached its peak. She clenched and unclenched her fists numerous times in anger. “Mr. Radford left an hour ago for the company.” Becky disclosed, probably trying to earn a reaction from Taylor. However, Taylor struggled to get up, wincing in pain. Andrew had torn off her clothes last night, so she could only wrap the duvet around her body and limp to the room. With each step she took, the pain from her stretched muscles multiplied until she got to her room. She walked into the bathroom only to see Becky had prepared her bath. She soaked in the warm bath for more than an hour, thinking of how pathetic her life had become. After a while, she took
“Delete the tweet and tell the public that it isn't what they think.” Taylor pleaded, almost going down on her knees. After Derek showed her Daniel's tweet, she immediately reached out to Daniel and asked for them to meet in secret. “Why?” Daniel raised a brow before scoffing. Then he leaned towards her and asked, “Why should I do that? You were my girlfriend before your sudden marriage to that brat Andrew. We didn't even break up. So why should I apologize for hugging my girlfriend?” Taylor clenched her jaw tightly. She already knew how this was going to end. But she was desperate for it not to end that way, or she'd be screwed by Andrew. She was about to say something when her phone, which she placed on the table before her, vibrated. Taylor hesitated. Seeing her hesitate, Daniel reached out to take the phone. He chuckled when he saw the caller and showed it to her. “Andrew is calling.” Taylor trembled in fear. He was calling. Her body twitched uncomfortably, recalling the pai
“This is Derek Vaughn, please leave a message if I don't answer the phone.” The automated voice came up for the nth time. Taylor threw her phone against the wall, smashing it into pieces in anger. Today was the 30th day, she had been locked up in her room by Andrew after being accused of frolicking with Daniel. It was also her 30th time being sexually punished by him. Taylor shivered when she glanced at the time. It was 3pm already, and it was only a matter of 2 hours before Andrew would be back to make her life a living hell. She heard a knock on the door, but ignored it as she sprawled on her bed, her back turned to the door. Just like she expected, she heard the door unlocking before it was pushed open. “You should eat something, Mrs. Radford.” Becky said as she walked in and placed the food she had brought with her on Taylor's beside table. Taylor had her eyes wide open, but didn't bother acknowledging Becky's presence. Becky stayed in the room for a while before she breath
"So what do you think?" A drunk girl giggled, leaning in to kiss the blonde haired man underneath her. The man grinned, grabbing her gently by her waist. "I think it's a very good idea. It's been long we had a beach party." "I know, right?" She mused with a smile, her lips meeting his. They had their tongues in each other's mouth for a while until the sound of a ringing phone broke them off. "It's coming from my private phone." She whined when he refused to let her go as he continued ravishing her with kisses."I know, but it won't hurt to let it ring a little while longer." The man sighed, pushing back her hair as he sucked on her neck, giving her a hickey. His words seemed to indulge her as she allowed the phone to stop ringing. However when it began ringing again, the redhead pubsed her boyfriend away and sauntered towards the direction of her phone. The influence of the alcohol quickly left her eyes when she saw the name sprawled across her screen. She shivered and answered,
As Taylor drove out of her parents' residence, her phone which was in her pocket couldn't stop vibrating. She couldn't count how many times Daniel had called in the span of ten minutes. "I can't marry him. I'll never marry that demon! I know what I'll do. I'll run. I'll run so fast they can't find me. I'll run back to Daniel and we'll go to the farthest of the earth to start a family!" Taylor kept mumbling those words over and over again like someone who had lost her mind. She had no idea how long she drove within California aimlessly, but the next time she looked at the time, it was already six in the evening. Her phone also had over a hundred missed calls, a dozen from Daniel and a dozen from her mother. She didn't bother to confirm her words as she stopped the car on a bridge. Her eyes were blank as she overlooked the waters. Something in it looked so serene and wonderful and for a moment, she contemplated diving in. It was better to die than to get married to Andrew Radford.
The beeping sound. The smell of antiseptics. Those were the first things Taylor heard and smelt when she opened her eyes. Why was she in the hospital? She clearly remembered jumping into the ocean. She tried to get up, but couldn't as a pang of pain waltzed through her, pushing her back to the bed. "Taylor! Taylor, you're awake! Thank goodness! I was so worried, baby!" Ava cried out, racing to her daughter's side. Taylor's eyes settled on her mother's face. The puffy eyes and black eye bags underneath Ava's eyes made her heart break. If she had died like she wanted to, she wouldn't be feeling this much pain. "Why would you try to kill yourself, Taylor? Do you have any idea how worried your father and I was when we heard the news?" Ava berated tearfully, caressing Taylor's hand. My father. Taylor glanced around the room in search of Dante. "He didn't come." Ava revealed and Taylor turned to her. The woman forced on a smile as she continued, "Your father's reputation has been ru
Taylor whimpered on the cold floor, her eyes tightly shut and legs drawn up to her stomach, leaving her in a ball form. She wrapped her hands across her body, gritting her teeth in fear. The musty basement air was gradually leaving her breathless and her heart was slowing down its pace. "Go away…please go away." She kept muttering with chattering teeth. The door to the basement suddenly flung open, but Taylor didn't dare to open her eyes. "There's a dinner party tonight. Becky will get you ready and when it's time, Ramos will take you there." Andrew stated the reason for his coming. Taylor didn't bother to ask who these people were as she still had her eyes tightly shut. Seconds later, she managed to get a grip on herself as she slowly opened her eyes and looked up at him. The raw hatred in her eyes couldn't be missed by Andrew. The man chuckled darkly and bent beside her, "Now that's the look I expect you to have. But why do I have the feeling you desire to curse me out?" Tay
