Henry suddenly had an awful expression on him as though someone had offended him as the strength of his grasp over Monique’s neck became stronger, “That was a reason that I simply made it up just so I can f*ck you, I can’t believe you would buy it. Then from now onwards, I’ll not find any more excuses, in my eyes, you’re just a tool for me to vent out my frustration!”His deep and attractive voice was so cold like a phantom from the gates of hell.‘A tool for venting out frustrations!’, this made Monique’s mind went blank after hearing it.She could no longer remain composed, she raised her hands, outraged. A ‘pa’ sound was heard crystal clear as a tight slap was bestowed on Henry’s face.Her expression turned cold as her heart sank. It turned out that she had fallen for his trap because of his gentleness which was all an act so that he could have sex with her.“But why must it be me? You’re able to get any woman you want and all of them were very much glad to be the one on your b
Monique stared at Henry, puzzled at the words he said, ‘I’ll be waiting for you to come to beg me.’Herny threw a handphone to Monique, it was her handphone.“Angel’s been missing you, I told her that you had gone outstation. You better give her a call as she kept insisting to look for you.” said Henry and he marched out of the room.Louise was standing at the doorstep, with a flushed face, she bowed, “Chairman Moore.”Henry coldly said, “Keep an eye on her, if anything happened to her, you’ll be held responsible for it!”Louise nodded.She suddenly felt as though she was being thrown for the loop as she found out that Henry was treating Monique well.Yesterday when Monique was having a fever, Henry was wiping off the sweat over her forehead gently. That was the first time Louise ever saw Henry being so nice. Even earlier when she went to grab something to eat, Henry ordered her to get Monique something to eat from the best restaurant, yet now they seemed rather…‘What exactly
Louise knew well about Monique's feelings.Finally, after weeping for a long time, she ceased crying after wearing herself out and her eyes were swollen. She struggled to get herself up, but a painful sensation struck her as though all her bones had fallen apart and were being reassembled.It was given that she felt the pain as yesterday, she was being sprinkled with cold water for a very long time, followed by being tortured by Henry for some time.Louise quickly came to help her up, "Are you alright?"Monique shook her head, staring at Louise's concerning and self-blaming expression, she choked, "It's none of your business, it's not because of you.""I know, what's wrong between the two of you? I can see that he’s obviously concerned for you!" Louise said. Louise saw a sense of gentleness in Henry's eyes, which he would never have when dealing with other people.However, Louise could not get it when she saw Monique's depressed look.Besides, her entire body was covered with in
When Angel saw that the call was from her mother, she answered it without much thought. She figured that Monique should be free if she was able to call her. Her daddy did not lie to her this time. Henry told her that her mother would be calling her the next day but instead called her a day earlier.On second thought, Angel felt a little upset that her mother did not call her since she was free.“Where are you?” Angel pouted. Her tone was not as excited as before. Monique sensed the slight change in her emotions and said, “Sorry, I forgot to tell you. I was out of town yesterday and my phone battery died.”Monique built on the excuse Henry gave. She was not in a good place and needed some time alone.‘So Mommy did go out of town.’Angel misunderstood Henry.However, she could not help but feel a slight resentment toward her mommy. Monique did not tell her beforehand that she was going to be out of town, and she was so worried that something happened to her mommy.She even t
Louise felt a tug in her chest. It seemed as though Monique was so deeply hurt that she could not even bear to hear his name. She scooped a spoonful of porridge and put it in front of Monique’s mouth. “You won’t feel so sad when your tummy is filled,”Monique said weakly, “Thank you, I’ll eat on my own.”Monique received the bowl from Louise. She looked a little worn out, probably from taking care of her the night before.Now that she was awake, she felt embarrassed that she had to be fed by Louise.Louise did not force her to eat. She looked at Monique and asked, “You were on the phone with Angel?”Monique swallowed a mouthful of porridge and answered, “Uhm.”The porridge Louise bought was really fragrant, but she had no appetite to eat it.Louise did not want Monique to dwell in her sorrows and tried to change the topic by talking about Angel. “Angel is so smart. She even came to the office to look for me.”“Hmm? How did you know that she asked for you?” Monique asked in surp
Monique’s mood lightened when she thought of Angel. She smiled and said, “She’s rather quick-witted for her age.”“Yeah, she’s incredibly smart. I’ll have to ask her how she guessed it when I return to work.” Louise Lou was relieved when she saw Monique finally brightened up.She thought that she would wait until tomorrow when Monique felt better to tell her that Angel had come here to look for her and that Simon Leeds had been arrested.Louise helped to clean up after Monique finished the porridge.Monique finally regained some strength after eating. She glanced at the bed and saw the mobile phone and recalled how Angel hung up abruptly. She fell into a daze and finally remembered that she had forgotten to return Simon’s call when she saw Louise bring her more food.Simon had called her several times.Monique dialed his number twice but no one picked up.She stood up to go to the bathroom.Louise walked in and helped her up, “Why did you get up?”Monique noticed the cautiousn
Henry intentionally chose the same room from five years ago to humiliate her.He forced her into being his lover.Monique’s heart ached so much, it was as though it had been bitten by tens of thousands of ants.Henry Moore. Why would she always think of him? Monique’s heart wrenched, making her feel as if she was suffocating.She downed the entire glass of wine without clinking glasses with Louise.Louise was momentarily stunned and soon followed suit.She took a piece of shrimp and started chewing on it while she seethed, “Skin it and remove its insides.”Monique nodded and picked up a piece, her eyes filled with tears. “Uhm, skin it and remove its insides.”“Monique, I’ve just broken up with my boyfriend recently,” Louise said as she poured herself another glass and continued, “I sponsored him to study overseas. He promised that he would return to the country, find a job, and then we would get married. Now that he has graduated, he broke up with me and said that he wouldn’t b
“Louise, do you think I’m hopeless? I’m the mother of a five-year-old. That doesn’t grant me the right to fall for a chairman. Also, he said that I’m his lover but in reality, it’s just a nicer way to refer to a plaything. I have no right to have feelings for him.”Louise looked at Monique’s reddened eyes. She had no idea that she was suffering so much inside and could not bear to voice out. She said, “F*ck lovers! The right to love? Go to hell! Let’s drink!”Louise wanted to pour Monique another glass but the bottle was empty. She said, “I’ll go get another bottle.”Louise staggered her way to the kitchen but she did not manage to find any wine. She returned and said, “There’s no more wine. What a letdown!”Monique curled her lips and downed the last glass.She felt weird to be so awake after drinking so much.Louise grinned widely and said to Monique, “You still want to drink, don’t you? It’ll be my treat today. Let’s go!”Perhaps Monique finally talked about the things that h
