Mag-log inRamon frowned.His eyes shifted toward Lorenzo and then back to the screen. Kelsey and Kendrick were now sitting with Nathaniel on a bench.Ramon immediately realized that Lorenzo had someone following them and had already made plans. One word from him, and someone hidden nearby could fire at them."I have always been jealous of your friendship with Dimitri." Lorenzo's bitter smile returned. "I wanted to be friends with the two of you."His face tightened."But you told me no right away. You even told Dimitri not to be friends with me."Ramon was taken aback."It's okay if you didn't want to be my friend, but why did you tell Dimitri to keep his distance from me?"Lorenzo continued."Why couldn't we be friends? What was so special about your friendship with Dimitri that you didn't want another person?"Ramon honestly didn't know what to say. He had indeed told Lorenzo that they couldn't be friends. But it was because Dimitri had been his only close friend since before middle school. R
The following day, Ramon stayed at the office.Kelsey and Kendrick had gone to the amusement park, and Nathaniel was supposed to join them later. Since Kelsey's grandfather would be there, Ramon decided not to follow them.He still wasn't completely comfortable leaving them alone, though.Before they left, he had instructed his security team to double the number of men around them. He also arranged for a few plainclothes guards to remain nearby without making their presence obvious.He trusted his men.But he didn't trust Lorenzo.He had no idea what Lorenzo's plan was, and the thought of anything happening to Kelsey or Kendrick made him uneasy.Now, several hours later, Ramon sat behind his desk, going through some documents while talking to someone on the phone.He had barely finished reading one of the documents when the door opened.Ramon lifted his head.He expected to see Daniel.Instead, the man who walked into the office closed the door behind him.The sound of the lock clicki
The gate of the detention center opened, and Dimitri stepped out.He felt the fresh air against his face.He had been released after the man arrested at the police station confessed to the crime. Gwen had also been arrested after the investigation connected her to the incident.Dimitri took a deep breath.Before he could fully breathe out, a pair of arms suddenly wrapped around him.He froze."Thank goodness you're out, Dimitri." Maureen's voice was filled with relief. She quickly pulled away from him but continued holding his palm. "How are you doing? Did you feel uncomfortable in there?"Dimitri blinked, finally coming back to reality."No, I'm fine," he said softly. He placed a hand on her shoulder and studied her tired face. "You didn't get any sleep, did you?"Maureen shook her head slightly.Dimitri sighed. "I told you not to worry.""How do you think she wouldn't worry?" Denovon's voice came from nearby. He walked toward them, his expression calmer now that his son was finally
Within one hour, just as Nathaniel had said, a car stopped in front of the police station.The back door opened, and a man was dragged out by Sylvester's right-hand man.His hands were tied together behind his back.He was sweating heavily, his face pale as he looked around nervously.A second car stopped behind them.Sylvester stepped out of the back seat and walked toward Ramon, Kelsey, Maureen, and the others who had been waiting outside the police station.He pointed at the tied man. "He is the one you're looking for."Kelsey's eyes immediately moved to Maureen.She didn't say anything, but her expression clearly asked the question.Is he the one?Earlier, at her grandfather's office, Nathaniel had told Kelsey to go and find Sylvester herself.But Kelsey had refused.She had insisted that Nathaniel contact him instead.She had then described everything Maureen remembered about the man—the suit, the tattoo of an ear on his neck, and the way he had stared at her at the entrance of t
Kelsey's car stopped in front of Sunlight Company.She turned off the engine, took a deep breath, and stepped out.She had never been inside the company before.This was the first time she was stepping into a business owned by the Bianchi family, and she couldn't help feeling slightly uneasy as she looked up at the imposing building.A few minutes earlier, she had called her grandfather because she wanted to ask for his help.But before she could even explain why she was calling, Nathaniel had told her to come to the company first.So here she was.The moment she entered the lobby, a middle-aged man approached her."Miss ."She recognized him immediately. He was her grandfather's right-hand man. She had seen him a few times whenever she was around Nathaniel."Your grandfather is waiting for you." He turned and started walking.Kelsey followed him.As they moved through the building, she could feel people's eyes following her.Some employees glanced at her curiously before quickly look
Ramon managed to hold back his laugh."Laugh at you?" he repeated, shaking his head. "Of course not. I'm here to ask you why you always become a fool when you fall in love."Dimitri stared at him in confusion. "What do you mean?"Ramon relaxed against the chair before answering."Taking the fall always," he said. "First it was Gwen, and now Maureen."Dimitri didn't reply immediately.He walked over to the chair and sat down. He understood what Ramon meant.He used to defend Gwen and take the fall for her back then.But this was different.Maureen had become his wife, and he had promised to protect her. Besides, it was better for him to be locked up here than Maureen.He could defend himself and endure everything in this place, but Maureen couldn't.Without her glasses, she was practically helpless."Forget about Gwen," he said, clearly not interested in that conversation. "Taking the fall for my wife doesn't make me a fool."Ramon raised a brow."But if that makes me a fool, then what
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
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
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
