Addison's POVI felt so sick of being here. I couldn't even find my cell phone, which was nowhere to be seen, so I didn't know what was happening to me. I was thinking about Shofia and Hayden, who helped me. They must know what happened to me these past few days. I've been awake since yesterday and until today, Shofia hasn't met me here. Isn't he a doctor in this hospital? How could he not visit me at all?"Is it possible that Damon forbade them to see me?"I'm thinking negatively like that because I feel like an isolated person. I'm very bored here, and there's no one I can talk to. Even the doctor who examined me didn't say much and couldn't answer all my questions about Shofia. This wasn't very pleasant.Then, the door to my hospital room opened, and Jared walked with something in his hand. I watched as he walked towards me, and then he placed what he was carrying onto the nightstand, which turned out to be fruit that had been peeled and cut into pieces."You should eat this, ma'am
Addison’s POVDamon was utterly shocked by what I had just said. It was like he couldn't accept the fact that it was my decision. Damon seemed to sigh and said, "No."I frowned at his one-word words and nothing else. I looked at him questioningly. I didn't understand what he wanted. Somehow, it was hard to understand what this man wanted. "No, what?" I asked him for an explanation. "After all, all you've done is torture me. You find out for yourself, and I don't care about you anymore. If you still don't let me go, maybe I should commit suicide in front of you."Suddenly, Damon's head snapped up, looking at me sharply. "Addison, stop saying things like that. Your jokes are too horrible, and I don't like them." The man's head shook quickly, and I could see that the look on his face had changed to one of panic and worry. What was he thinking exactly? Why was he like this?Our eyes met, and he still had a worried expression. While I was just flat and didn't want to show any excitement be
Addison’s POVDad chatted with Damon, and I didn't interrupt him at all. I could feel that Damon's conversation with Dad was very awkward, especially Damon, who seemed to be very stiff when replying to Dad's questions. He's no longer the warm person he used to be to me. This time, his attitude looks pretty pretentious, and it's pronounced.I think Damon still stood by his stance that his father was the one who had destroyed his family in the past. So she had to behave like this. If he hated me, he shouldn't have been here and pretended to be so lovely that he had to converse with me.Finally, I heard Damon say goodbye to leaving because he had to take care of something."I'll visit again later, Dad," Damon said before leaving."Thank you, Damon. Go, I'm sure you must be very busy."I didn't care about Damon leaving and was still staring in the other direction. Until I heard the door behind me open and then close. I was sure that Damon had left the room.Damon still doesn't believe wha
Addison’s POVThanks to Shofia's help, I managed to get a room together with Dad. I owe a lot to Shofia for always getting her help so quickly.We're currently in the hospital garden, getting some fresh air. It's not for nothing that we're here. I wanted to have an important talk with Shofia freely so that Dad wouldn't hear it. I also told Shofia to hide the fact that I was sick from Father. I didn't want you to know about it because you'd probably be shocked if you found out. And I don't want to make you sad."But, Addison... I think your father needs to know." As usual, Shofia was a very caring person and didn't want to hide the fact about my illness. She always tried to let the people closest to me know what was happening to me. I appreciated it, but I wasn't ready to tell him. Even Damon, I didn't want him to know. I was a little disappointed when she learned what happened to me."Come on, Shof, Dad just woke up from his coma after a long time. I didn't want him to hear the bad ne
Damon’s POVJared and I were discussing the information about the time that happened to my mother and Addison's father. Then, I noticed a paper with two names written on it that Addison had given me. Those two names might be related to my mom's past problems.I'm not sure about all this. There are two men's names that Addison gave me besides her father's name, even though previous evidence showed that Addison's father was exactly the culprit. But why is everything different? Addison even mentioned that her father was completely innocent of the incident.And, what makes me wonder is why the information Addison got is so much different from the information I have. Where exactly did she get all that information from? I was too proud to ask her because I thought I could get other information alone. It's like she said that I can do anything with money and power."All the searches, we have to go back and dig deep. I want you to find out these two names." I handed the paper containing two na
Damon’s POVMy cell phone is still vibrating, indicating that the call from Cora is still ongoing. I deliberately put the ringtone on silent to make it less annoying. I knew she would be angry because I ignored her phone call. For now, I don't want to talk or meet her just yet, considering the many problems I'm facing. I don't care if she gets mad at me.I exhaled as soon as my phone stopped vibrating, indicating that the call had ended. Maybe later I'll meet her and explain as usual that I'm busy with work. In my opinion, Cora is very easy to persuade. Just give her sweet words and seduction, and she will melt back very easily. It's even easier if I send her money for shopping. She'll melt down easily.I was still waiting to hear from Jared about the informant we were working with. I can't wait to find out what news I'll hear from them. Is it the same as what Addison said or not? I don't know which one to believe. Addison or my informant, who I paid a lot of money for.Suddenly, ther
Cora’s POVAfter getting my allowance from Damon, I chose to have fun by buying whatever I liked. Damon never messes around with money, he's very generous, and I'm pleased about that. I've bought some clothes, shoes, and my make-up kit.No one can stop me from doing whatever I want. I don't think Damon would be mad if he knew I was spending his money. He's a nice guy who understands how I am. This is what he always does when I'm sulking at him. Even he's terrified of me getting mad at him.Now, I enter the umpteenth women's clothing store. I looked for something I wanted and couldn't find it in any other store. The store clerk walked me to the aisle where the items I was looking for were. Then we arrived at the clothing rack, where exquisite lingerie lined up and spoiled the eyes."Please, Miss.""Thank you." I touched a very pretty pink lingerie, and I think the model is bold. I haven't slept with Damon in a long time. I didn't know if he and Addison were sleeping together again, so
Cora’s POVI was reminiscing when I had just returned from overseas after taking treatment. In the beginning, I felt very insecure and had very low self-esteem. I thought I had a bad life after breaking up with Damon and getting into a relationship with a man I thought was more everything than Damon. In fact, I was wrong.When I was in the city center, I accidentally bumped into Damon. It seemed like I was walking daydreaming, so I accidentally bumped into someone who turned out to be Damon. I was surprised by that.I felt that my feelings were rekindled when I met him, even though I already knew about his marriage to another woman. At that time, I could see Damon's face, which was more handsome and more mature than before when we separated.In my heart, there was a glimmer of hope that we could get back together. But a second later, I pushed that thought away because I knew Damon was married. We looked at each other and didn't say anything. I could feel Damon's hand holding my waist,
