CHAPTER 69 Alqamar explains to us what happened. We found out that Lexis’ family was used as hostage so that Alqamar would agree to their preposition. I don’t know what’s gotten into them why they challenged Alqamar in a duel when we know that they can’t win with Alqamar. I don’t know what they are thinking.“Are they stupid? Why would they challenged Alqamar when they know they’ll lose in the end?” Rael shook his head; he also knows how ridiculous the idea was.“Carlos is planning something…” Gray mumbled. We all looked at him. I am also thinking the same way but…why would Gray think that Carlos is the only one who’s planning something? Herman may be also planning evil against us.“What do you mean?” Fin asked. Alqamar was just silent, maybe listening to us. He fell silent after he finished explaining to us what happened with the Castillo’s hou

CHAPTER 71 We rushed Chairman Lim to the hospital. Hendrick was so worried while we watched the nurse send Chairman Lim inside the emergency room. Hendrick sat down on the waiting area and held his head like he’s carrying the whole world in both of his shoulders.He looks devastated. He looks weary. I sighed and sat down two seats apart from him. I breathed heavily. Hendrick is a good son. I saw how he cared for his father, I witnessed that for two years that I’ve been working for them. He’s a good person but I know and understand that he wants something else for his life.I know how it feels to want something, yet you couldn’t reach it. I know how it feels desire something, but you can’t have it. It was painful yet you can’t do anything but to take it all in.“Are you okay?” I asked and glanced at him. He was staring down the floor, he looks in deep thoughts. He sighed heavily and closed his e

CHAPTER 73   “What’s with your ugly face?” Rael asked obviously mocking me. I rolled my eyes as I walked inside the house. “Don’t talk to me Rael,” I said not in the mood. He chuckled and followed me until the stairs. “Alqamar went out to check on Lexis, Gray is with his girl, Fin is still doing the same,” Rael reported. I sighed and stopped walking. I faced him and crossed my arms. “Do you need something Rael?” I asked. I know this. I know what he’s up to. He shrugged and smiled. I just hit the right word. “I will have a party tonight. Can…I?” he asked. I rolled my eyes. This dumbass man really messing up this mansion. “What do you think about this mansion? A freaking bar?” I asked with my sarcastic tone. “You know I can’t go to bars, Cristine!” he countered. “Of course! You can’t! The last time you went to a bar you broke hundred of bottles of liquor when you got drunk!” I spat. He smiled awkwardly.

CHAPTER 75 I cannot swallow properly because of the intense feeling he’s making me feel. I know that this day will eventually happen, but I didn’t know that I’d be feel so scared while facing the truth.He’s so close to me. His minty and warm breath is tickling my nose. His eyes are staring deeply into me. I feel so exposed in front of him. I feel like he knows my deepest secret. My deepest desire and lies. This thought made me anxious.Silence filled in the air after his whispers. I couldn’t find words to counter all his words. I am pinned down to the hospital bed, unable to move or even speak a word.“Dr. Madrigal?” My eyes widened when I heard Sir Hendrick voice through the door. I quickly pushed Ronald away and looked at Hendrick who’s confused for what he saw. Damn it! I am so panicking so hard, but Ronald remained calm and collected.“You’re checking up Cristine?”

CHAPTER 77 I can hear the crickets in my ears after I say the revelation I keep for years. He was just staring at me, but he was emotionless. His face was blank. I didn’t know what he’s thinking but in looking at his face I know that his anger towards me will doubled.“You knew all along and yet you didn’t tell me?” his voice darkened. I looked down. I know he’ll get mad at me. I know it’s my fault. I won’t blame him if he’ll hate me forever. I deserve this.“I-I’m…sorry…” I said regretfully.“Do you know how much I suffered in finding that bastard who killed my father?” he said grittily. I breathed painfully. My heart breaks in tiny pieces. If I can just comfort him but I know I can’t do that when I am the reason of his sufferings.“And yet you know? I trusted you, Cristine!” he thundered. I almost jump because of his v
