Chapter 8

작가: Summer
Wilco Real Estate became even more renowned after we successfully bid on the South City land. I became the rising star of the industry, and Cole even organized a celebration party for me. He kept by my side throughout the party, helping me fend off malicious prodding into my identity.

"Are you tired?" He asked me in a low voice.

I shook my head. "I'm fine." Physical exhaustion was nothing if I could enjoy the feeling of being in control.

"Ian Cabello is here," Cole suddenly announced. I looke

  • Waking Up from a Reverie   Chapter 11

    Our wedding was held on an island with the sun, sand, and blue sky. I was wearing a white wedding gown with my arms around Cole's as we walked toward the priest. I looked at the man next to me. He was handsome, gentle, and had given me a new life and a home. However, Ian made an appearance at our wedding in an unexpected way.When we were about to exchange wedding rings, the big screen in the church suddenly started playing a video, in which Lucy, whom I had not seen for a long time, suddenly appeared. She was locked up in a dark room, looking withered and crazy. "That's impossible! How can Hailey Salvatore still be alive and about to get married? No! Impossible! I don't believe you!”"She's about to marry another man, Ian. How can you bear to kill me for her? Why are you being so cruel?!" At the end of the video, Ian stabbed Lucy through the heart, and her blood splattered onto the screen. The sight shocked all of the guests. I was stunned. Was Lucy Carter dead? Cole immediately o

  • Waking Up from a Reverie   Chapter 10

    Ian did not give up. He messaged and called me using another number after I blocked him. The messages remained the same. He would apologize, be repentant, or make all sorts of promises to me, but I ignored all of them. After that, he started using the most basic ways to try to woo me. Ian would appear on time at the doors of my office building every morning in a luxury car with the trunk filled with the freshest roses. He would stand next to the car with a bouquet in his hand while waiting for me to appear. I became the main source of gossip for my company's employees."Signorino Ian is here again with 999 roses. How romantic of him.""How is Miss Linetti going to choose between two men who are both tall, handsome, and rich?"I walked stoically into the office as I listened to the gossip. I never once accepted the flowers he brought me and I got the cleaner to take care of all of them. When Ian realized the flowers had no impact on me, he started giving me all sorts of gifts that

  • Waking Up from a Reverie   Chapter 9

    Ian looked at me in a daze as misery started to fill his eyes. I held onto Cole's arms and prepared to leave when he suddenly called out from behind me, "Hailey!" I paused my steps, but did not look back. Ian quickly caught up to me and stopped me from leaving. "It's you, isn't it? You're Hailey!" He looked agitated as he grabbed my shoulder with great force. "You're not dead… You're really not dead…"Cole quickly came forward to fling Ian's hand away from me. "As far as I know, Miss Hailey Salvatore is dead, Ian Cabello. You were the one who buried her with your own hands!" Cole held me protectively in his arms and said coldly, "This woman is my fiancée, Willow Linetti. Please stop harassing her or I'll be taking action against you."Ian was rendered speechless. Cole was right. Everyone knew that Hailey was dead. What right did Ian have to claim that she was Hailey? I tidied up myself as Ian had messed up my clothes from grabbing me, and I looked at him coolly. "I think you've got

Physical exhaustion was nothing if I could enjoy the feeling of being in control."Ian Cabello is here," Cole suddenly announced. I looked in the direction Cole was looking, and I saw Ian standing in the corner, staring back at me. He lost so much weight that his once-fitted suit now hung loosely on him, no longer looking like the handsome man he once was. Ian was now completely different from the high and mighty heir of the Cabellos that I once knew.I looked away. "Ignore him." However, Ian walked straight toward me as the guests moved aside to make way for him. When he stood in front of him, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Haile

  • Waking Up from a Reverie   Chapter 7

    Three months after my 'death', a new company known as Wilco Real Estate appeared with me, Willow Linetti, as its representative. Cole gave me a huge amount of money and most of his connections and told me, "The stage has been set. It's all up to you now." I did not let him down. Using my past experience, it was not long before I was able to make a name for myself in the real estate business. I managed to win several major projects very quickly, and Wilco Real Estate's name started to make its way around the industry. As for the Cabellos, their business started to face a decline.One day, Cole came to me with a tender. "The Cabellos have their eyes set on that piece of land in South City." He looked at me. "Are you interested?" I was reminded of how I had spent so much effort on that land, only for my plans to be ruined by Ian. I smiled coldly, "Of course." Not only did I want it, but I also wanted Ian to be utterly defeated. On the day of the tender, I made sure to give myself a

  • Waking Up from a Reverie   Chapter 6

    Ian's basement was dark, humid and filled with the stench of blood. Lucy was tied to a cross and trembling all over. She had been pampered all her life and had never encountered such a situation before. "Ian… Big brother… What are you doing? Put me down right now…"Lucy acted sweetly in an attempt to convince Ian to let her go. He walked toward her slowly with an icy look in his eye. "Big brother?" His sneer was filled with sarcasm. "I don't have a sister who killed my wife." His words made Lucy's face turn pale. "I… I have no idea what you're talking about…" She was still trying to give excuses. "Hailey… Didn't she die in an accident?"Ian grabbed her face. "Accident?" He motioned for his subordinates to drag the men who had caused the fire in front of her. They had been beaten into a pulp and were now unrecognizable. "They admitted to everything! You! You were the one who gave orders to them to kill Hailey in that fire!"When Lucy saw those men, she knew there was no point denyi
