Chapter 6

Author: Madam Fenghuo
Monica hadn't come back to the estate that night.

The next morning, the first thing Colton did was check his phone.

Monica hadn't replied. A faint unease stirred in him.

He sent another text. "Where are you? You've had your tantrum. It's time to come home."

He'd just hit send when Beth, already in her gown, opened the bedroom door and looked around. Monica wasn't there.

She hid her excitement. "Monica didn't come home last night?

"She didn't take any of her things. Where else would she go? She d

  • The Don Forgot My Blueberries, I Was Done With Him   Chapter 9

    In less than three years, I'd established myself in New York's design world.The design house entered my work in competition after competition.I won a string of awards.I released three more collections, each more successful than the last. Some pieces were one of a kind.The one-of-a-kind pieces became the star lots that closed out the auctions.One set sold for a world-record price for jewelry.I had won more awards than any other jewelry designer in the world.As I got busier, I stopped hearing news of Colton.By chance, I overheard my assistants talking about a major upheaval among the mafia families in Miami.Power had changed hands. One of the families had been wiped out.I didn't ask any more about it.It happened one day as I was leaving an auction.Once again, the entire auction was devoted to my latest collection.The room had felt stuffy, so I'd decided to step outside for air.On my way out, I walked right into someone.I was startled for a moment.Colton's father, Vincent,

    "I'm not getting divorced."I'm not signing anything. Tell me where Monica is."Colton spoke to Daniel on the phone, contempt in his voice and barely restrained anger in his eyes.He had cheated, and the marriage was beyond repair. Monica didn't need his consent to ask the court to end it.The second the call ended, he lost it and smashed the phone against the floor.By then, everyone in the family knew.Every day after that, he looked for Monica, but he had no idea where to start. All anyone could confirm was that she'd gone to the airport.Every time he thought of her, his chest tightened.The confidential files Monica had sent his rivals soon gave them the opening they needed. They went after his armory.The armory's security codes didn't slow them down at all.Colton was so consumed with searching for Monica that by the time the news reached him, it was too late.The armory had been stripped bare.The fighting there had been devastating.Dozens of family members had been killed or

    She had never blocked his calls before.Even when they fought, the worst she'd ever done was ignore his texts. Whenever he called to make up, she'd answered right away.Not this time.Colton's heart raced, and he began to panic.He could tell Monica was truly angry. His actions had cost her the baby. And because of Beth, the only keepsake she had from her mother was broken.She had every right to be angry.But the more he thought about it, the more his chest hurt. The ache stayed with him all night.By the next day, the whole family had heard about him and Beth.Everyone was gossiping about it.Colton's parents, Vincent and Elena Caruso, heard about it too. They called Beth.Beth came to Colton in tears, her voice shaking. "You have to think of something. Mom wants me home. They're going to punish me."I'm scared to go back. Help me."Vincent and Elena had doted on Beth when they first adopted her.Then she'd started running with a shady crowd, hiding behind the family name. She would

She didn't stay at someone else's place, did she?"Then she put a hand over her mouth.Colton's face darkened. "Leave her alone. She'll come back on her own."He couldn't shake his irritation and remained distracted until the party began.He tried texting Monica again."Enough. Come back. Beth's party is starting.""It's her birthday. Come wish her a happy birthday. You don't even have to apologize. I'm waiting at the estate."He waited for over ten minutes.Still no reply.Colton grew more uneasy.B

    My mother had given it to me before she died, and I'd kept it locked in a safe ever since.I couldn't bring myself to wear it, even on special occasions.My heart was pounding.Colton spoke first, surprised. "What are you doing back here?"I didn't answer. I fought to control my anger as I walked straight up to Beth and pulled the necklace off her neck."This is mine."Beth flinched, her eyes reddening as if I'd wronged her.Colton jumped to his feet, his face tense with anger. "What do you think you're doing?!""Nothing. My mother left this to me."My voice was flat. I checked the necklace. Its sliding clasp had come undone, so it hadn't broken when I pulled it off.Beth frowned and shouted, "Colton gave that to me."Give it back." She reached for it.I turned away from her hand and gave her a cold look. "What right does he have to give away something of mine? Go ask him for it."I started for the stairs. Colton looked ashamed and embarrassed.He stepped into my path. "Her party is to

    She came in and locked the door behind her.She looked around the room. "Are you feeling better? It's a shame about the baby, but never mind. When I have children, you can treat them as your own."I went still, and my nails cut into my palms.She went on. "I came to apologize.""I don't want to look at you." My voice was flat.Beth only smiled. "I know losing the baby hurts. I don't blame you for yelling at me today. It's all my fault for getting too close to Colton."He'd been drinking at the casino. He couldn't stop himself. He held me and kissed me too hard. Luckily we came to our senses in time."But he still couldn't control himself in the car. He couldn't keep his hands off me. That's how the crash happened. I'm sorry you lost the baby."She was apologizing, but every word was meant to hurt me.My throat tightened, and my hands shook. At the sight of her smile, I raised my hand and slapped her across the face.Then I grabbed the cup beside me, ready to bring it down on her head.
