ログインKelsey arrived at the restaurant a few minutes before the time she and her grandfather had agreed on.She parked her car and remained inside for a moment, looking at the entrance through the windshield.Her grandfather had insisted on the meeting, and although she had already made her position clear, she decided to meet the other family and tell them her stand.She reached for the door handle, but before she could open it, her phone rang.It was Ruby.Kelsey's lips curved into a smile, and she answered."What's going on, Kelsey?" Ruby's anxious voice came through immediately.Kelsey furrowed her brows. "What do you mean?""Your husband is trending online," Ruby said."My husband?" Kelsey repeated, her brows drawing together. "Ramon?""Do you have another husband I didn't know about?" Ruby said. "His news is online."Kelsey paused for a second. Then she thought Ruby was talking about Venus."That's his sister, Venus," she said softly. "She's the one trending, not him.""No, Kelsey. I m
For several minutes, Venus sat quietly in the passenger seat, still trying to process what had happened.She slowly began to come out of her shock. She turned her head and looked through the window. The company was already far behind them.Venus frowned.She looked at the man behind the steering wheel and suddenly realized she didn't know where they were going. Thinking about it, she didn't even know when she had gotten into the car."Where are you taking me?" she asked.Sylvester kept his eyes on the road, "Somewhere."Venus's brows pulled together, "What do you mean, somewhere?"He didn't answer her and continued driving.Fear slowly replaced the confusion in Venus's eyes, "Stop the car."Sylvester glanced at her. She looked frightened, so he pulled over and brought the car to a stop.Venus immediately reached for the door handle, but it didn't open. She tried again, only to realize it was locked.She looked at him, "Please open the door.""Before you think about getting out," Sylve
The following morning, Venus stood in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection.She had barely slept.Every time she closed her eyes, she imagined herself walking into the company. She imagined the whispers. The stares. The uncomfortable silence that would follow her whenever she went.Her fingers tightened around the handle of her handbag.For a moment, she considered staying home.Then she remembered Ramon's words.When is the right time to face them?Venus took a deep breath. She couldn't hide forever. She picked up her bag and left her room.By the time Venus arrived at Holloway Holdings, her heart was already pounding.She sat in the car for several seconds, staring at the entrance.The same employees walked through the entrance. Cars came and went from the parking lot. Security guards stood at their usual positions.Yet everything felt different.She finally stepped out of the car. The moment she entered the building, she became aware of the people around her.A few conver
Three days had passed since the scandal broke.The Holloway family had done everything they could to get the videos taken down.They had contacted the media, reached out to different platforms, and used every connection available to them.But it wasn't working.Every time they managed to get one video removed, another one appeared.The videos were being released by different unknown media outlets, and it was beginning to feel as though someone was deliberately keeping the scandal alive.Even after three days, Venus was still trending. It was as though whoever was behind it had no intention of letting the matter die down.Ramon had eventually decided to let it be. There was nothing more he could do. They couldn't keep spending their time chasing after every new video that appeared online.That evening, Ramon sat at the dining table with his parents and Venus.Doris sat beside Collins, while Venus sat quietly across from Ramon.Kelsey and Kendrick had already eaten earlier. Kendrick had
The waitress took their orders and walked away."Is this your first blind date?" Dimitri asked softly."Hmm." Maureen hummed with a nod. "I couldn't avoid this one."Maureen let out a deep, silent breath after that. She didn't know how to feel about the blind date anymore. She had come to the date because she had no choice. Her older sister and grandfather had insisted that she attend it.Dimitri smiled in understanding, "Your elder sister ? The one that works at my company?""Yes."Dimitri said nothing again. He didn't even know what to say. He always knew what to say, how to keep a conversation going, but today, he wasn't sure.Maureen looked around the restaurant, then toward the television mounted on the wall.A business podcast was playing. It wasn't loud, but it was enough for them to hear what they were talking about.Three people were discussing a large company that had recently announced plans to expand into a new country.One of the men on the screen looked excited about the
Two days later...Dimitri arrived at the restaurant he had reserved for his blind date but didn't get out of his car immediately.He remained seated for several minutes, his hands resting loosely on the steering wheel as he stared at the entrance.He still felt strange about the whole blind date thing. He had agreed to meet the lady who had sent him a like some days ago at his office. Their meeting was scheduled for today, and here he was, still sitting in his car.Dimitri glanced at the time.His blind date was probably already waiting for him inside.He let out a quiet sigh. There was no point sitting in the car forever.After a short while, he finally opened the door and stepped out.He walked into the restaurant and was directed towards the table by a waitress.As he got closer to the table, he saw the back of a woman sitting there. His steps slowly became less hurried. Her posture made it look like she didn't really want to be there either. She was tapping her heel impatiently wh
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
The next morning… Kelsey slowly opened her eyes. A sharp pain shot through her head, making her shut them again immediately. Her brows tightened as she let out a soft groan. Everything felt heavy… her body, her thoughts… even her breathing. She was still lost when the door suddenly opened.
Kelsey stepped out of her room after changing into the dress. The soft fabric brushed gently against her skin as she carefully held the side of the gown, afraid she might accidentally step on it. For a moment, she stood quietly outside her door. It had been a very long time since she dressed up
