Se connecterIt had been two days since the incident at the restaurant.Venus still couldn't forget that evening. She had tried to convince herself that everything was fine, but deep down, she knew it wasn't.She still remembered her conversation with Kelsey in the restroom that day. When she finally left the restroom, she had hurried out of the restaurant before Ramon could see her. One of James' bodyguards had handed her the bag she had left behind.She had gone home that night with a heavy heart.The next day passed.James didn't call.The day after that came and went too, but there was still nothing from him.Venus had called him several times, but his number remained unreachable.The silence slowly began to eat at her.She kept wondering if something had happened to him. Even if he was busy, couldn't he have found a way to contact her?He knew she would be worried.He knew she would be waiting.She tossed restlessly on her bed that afternoon, staring at her phone.‘Why isn't he calling me?’ s
Kelsey watched as the police officers escorted Gwen down the hallway.Gwen had been arrested, but even then, she refused to show the slightest sign of fear.She kept her head high and walked as though she was leaving the hospital on her own terms.When one of the officers reached for her arm, she immediately pulled away. “I told you not to touch me.”The officer frowned. “Miss Storm, please cooperate.”“Touch me again, and I will make sure you lose your job.”Her voice was filled with pride.A few minutes earlier, Gwen had tried to create a scene, arguing that she shouldn't be arrested over something she considered a small issue.“I told you this was just an accident,” she had snapped. “You are seriously arresting me over this?”The police officers had simply reminded her that the CCTV footage had proven she was responsible for the accident and that the matter had to be investigated properly.But Gwen hadn't shown any remorse.Instead, she turned her head toward Ruby.“This isn't over
Gwen's lips slowly curved into a small smile. “Long time, Ramon.” Her voice was calm, almost as though they had simply run into each other after being apart for a few days. Then she glanced at Kelsey and gave her a cocky stare. The hallway suddenly became silent. Everyone seemed to have the same thought. So she really knew Ramon. Even Kelsey was caught off guard. Her expression became complicated as she looked at Ramon. He was still standing there, staring at Gwen as if he couldn't believe the woman in front of him was real. Who was she to him? Kelsey studied his face carefully. She had never seen him look this shocked before. She was about to give him a small tug to bring him back to reality when Gwen spoke again. “I told your wife about us,” she said, glancing at Kelsey. “But it seems she loves making trouble.” Gwen gave a small shrug. “But it's okay. I won't take it to heart.” Those words finally snapped Ramon out of his shock. His expression slowly ret
Gwen's fingers tightened around the strap of her bag as she looked at Kelsey, “What?”Kelsey remained calm,“You said you were dropping the case.”“Yes.” Gwen's voice was colder now. “I have changed my mind.”“Why?” Kelsey's eyes narrowed. “You were ready to have her arrested a few minutes ago.”Gwen's expression shifted slightly, “I have already told you the reason.”Kelsey looked at her for a moment before speaking, “And your reason is because I'm Ramon's wife?”Gwen hesitated before nodding slightly. “I realized that I should let it rest because of the relationship I have with Ramon.”Kelsey frowned, and so did Ruby.Gwen finally gave a small smile.“Ramon and I are friends,” she said softly. “You must have heard him mention me a few times. I'm Gwendolyn Storm.”Kelsey looked at Gwen from head to toe again. She could hear the confidence and pride in Gwen's voice, which only confused her.“Ramon has never mentioned you, so I don't know you,” Kelsey said truthfully.Gwen's smile faded
Less than twenty minutes later, the sound of approaching footsteps filled the hallway.Gwen lifted her eyes.Her assistant appeared first, followed by a sharply dressed man carrying a briefcase. Two bodyguards walked behind them, with two police officers following closely.The assistant hurried toward Gwen and bowed slightly.“Miss Storm.”Gwen gave her a brief look before turning her attention back to Ruby.Her expression carried the confidence of someone who had already decided how everything would end.“You should have left when I gave you the chance,” she said. “Now you've made things unnecessarily difficult for yourself.”Ruby remained where she was, “I have nothing to run from.”Gwen's lips curled,“That's what people like you usually say before they realize who they're dealing with.”She turned slightly toward the man beside her.“Mr. Edward.”The lawyer immediately stepped forward.“Miss.”He faced Ruby and opened his briefcase.“My client has instructed me to inform you that l
Gwen stared at Ruby, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, but there was anger behind them.She slowly pulled her arm free. “Excuse me?”“You heard me,”Ruby's voice shook as she pointed toward Jason's room before grabbing Gwen again in anger. “My boyfriend is lying in there because of you, and you were just going to walk away?”Gwen's face hardened, but Ruby was too angry to care. She continued. “Even without checking on him or asking how he was doing? Aren't you cold-hearted?”Gwen looked down at the hand that had grabbed her before pulling her arm free, “Don't touch me.”Ruby's mouth fell open at Gwen's irritated expression,“Don't touch you?”Gwen glanced toward the room Ruby had pointed at before looking back at her.“Oh, he is your boyfriend,” she said casually before sighing. “I didn't cause the accident.”Ruby stared at her.For a moment, she was too shocked to respond.“What?” she finally asked.“I said I didn't cause it.” Gwen's voice was calm, as though nothing in the
The following morning, the Ivory Mansion was already busy because of Doris’s birthday party later that evening.Servants moved around carrying flower decorations and expensive gift boxes.Kelsey was already in the kitchen, her hands submerged in cold water as she scrubbed the marble counter for the
Kelsey fell hard to the floor, her palm scraping painfully against the marble tiles.Her cheek burned badly from the two slaps Doris had given her, and before she could even recover, another harsh voice rang through the living room.“How dare you come back here after what you did to Kendrick?!”Kel
Kelsey had almost reached their table when Ramon came rushing back into the shop like a storm.He brushed past her without even looking at her and immediately knelt in front of Kendrick.“Kendrick, look at me,” Ramon said worriedly while checking his condition.The little boy was still struggling t
It took Kelsey only one day after regaining her memories to realize that what she had lived in for five years was never a marriage. It was suffering. “I want a divorce.” The words fell calmly from her lips, yet the entire room froze. Ramon Holloway looked up slowly, his sharp eyes landing
