Mag-log inThe Gomez family.The name kept ringing in Gwen's head. She had heard enough about that family to know they weren't ordinary businessmen.The Gomez family was known for being ruthless. They didn't always play by the book when they wanted something done. Their name carried weight, not only because of their businesses but also because of the rumors surrounding their involvement in the underworld.They were one of those families people preferred not to cross. The Bianchi family was another name often mentioned alongside them.Gwen swallowed hard.If the Gomez family was truly behind the driver, then this was no longer a simple traffic accident.She had thought her own family name would be enough to get her out. But if the Gomez family had decided to take the matter seriously, things could become complicated.Gwen's mind quickly returned to everything that had happened."Did Ramon know?" she whispered to herself, then nodded as she answered, "He definitely knew."She believed Ramon knew a
Kelsey gave Jason's parents a polite smile after Ruby introduced her."It's nice to meet you," she said softly.Mrs. Peterson nodded, though her attention quickly returned to Jason."Thank you for helping us," she said. "Ruby told us what happened."Kelsey glanced at Jason, still lying unconscious on the bed. Her expression cracked with sadness."Please don't thank me. Jason is a friend," she said softly before returning her gaze to Mrs. Peterson. "Has he shown any sign of waking up?"Mrs. Peterson shook her head. "Not yet."Ruby lowered her eyes. "He hasn't moved since I came back."Kelsey looked at her sympathetically, "He will wake up.""I hope so," Ruby whispered.She walked toward Jason's bed, sat beside him, and gently held his hand.For several seconds, nobody spoke.Then Mary looked toward Kelsey. Her posture seemed reluctant, but eventually, she walked over to her."I am Mary Gomez, Jason's sister-in-law," she said calmly. "Thank you for helping us get that woman arrested."K
Back in the hospital... After Ruby walked back toward Jason's room, the anger she had felt while facing Gwen was beginning to fade, replaced by the worry that had been sitting heavily in her chest since she arrived at the hospital. Gwen had been taken away by the police. The truth about the accident had finally come out. But none of that changed the fact that Jason was still lying unconscious in a hospital bed. Ruby quickened her steps. She reached his room and pushed the door open. The moment she stepped inside, she stopped. Ruby's eyes widened slightly. Jason's father was standing on the other side of the bed, his face tense with worry. His mother was holding Jason's hand with both of hers, her eyes fixed on his pale face. Ruby's heart tightened. They had arrived. She had been wondering why they hadn't come all this time. Now she realized that they must have arrived while she was outside dealing with Gwen. For a moment, she simply stood at the door. Seeing Jas
Venus's eyes moved across the dimly lit room, searching for the person who had spoken.At first, she saw no one.Then her gaze stopped at the far end of the room.A man was sitting casually on a chair near the curtain.Venus froze.She hadn't noticed him when she entered the room with James. The room was dim, and the chair was partly hidden behind the curtain. Now that she knew someone was there, she couldn't understand how she had missed him.Her heart suddenly began to pound. He had been here the entire time. That meant he had heard everything.Their entire conversation.Every word.Venus's face immediately tightened.The man looked completely relaxed, as though he hadn't just witnessed something deeply embarrassing. There was even a faint smile on his lips."You look like you're still trying to process what he said to you," he said.His voice was sympathetic, but Venus could hear the amusement underneath it.Her expression darkened. "You were listening to us?"The man raised a brow
It 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
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
