Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride]의 모든 챕터: 챕터 131 - 챕터 140

IvannaSomehow, I expected him to be here. We didn't doze off last night together and I came rushing to the university since I wanted to have enough alone time for myself. Sometimes we need that to function our sanity properly and I'm glad that he didn't nag me the entire day with repeated calls. I indeed missed him so much last night. As I keep staring at him, Emily utters, "you know my mom used to say something that I always ignored. I thought she was talking about the stuff that doesn't exist. Later, I realised such things exist. It just depends on the person"I look back at her, twitching my eyebrows. "Like what?""You can't find a single person who won't hurt you ever. If you find one, then the person is definitely not real. What you need to see is if he's giving enough importance to your pain or his apology. If he's more concerned about getting an apology than thinking about your pain, that's something to

Ivanna His words leave me in a great dilemma. Why would I need to be ready to see this album? God! I know there's so much left for me to know but it feels like I don't wanna know anything. I fear that such things may separate me from Christian. One after another. I kept swallowing every secret unfolding just because I shared a deep connection with him.I'm so much in love with him that I never let those secrets part us away. Holding the album with my shivering hands, I lift my eyes at him. He smiles and sits in front of me, slowly touching my cheek with affection. "What happened? Open it. You don't wanna know what's inside?""No", I whisper, lowering my gaze."Why?" He asks with a concerned tone. "I'm scared", I sniff. "I don't wanna know anything""Hey", he lifts my face as our eyes meet. "You can't be scared. You're not that weak, Iv. Trust me. You have already come a lo

Irene"Did she say that to you?" Nona exclaims, her old weak eyes devastating with disgust and disappointment.I'm seated in front of her at her place after travelling for an hour again. My body is exhausted, and so is my mind. I'm still hoping my grandmother will prove mom wrong. I'm hoping whatever mom said to me was a lie and she was just wanting me to support her."I wanna if that's true", I choke. "You know I love you, my child. I don't care if you're Janice's daughter or not", she sighs, staring at me affectionately and that's enough. I feel a big lump in my throat, jamming my breath. She indirectly confessed that I'm not Janice Rozario's daughter. I gulp down my pain and anger, hanging my head."Who's my mother then?" I ask. "I can't believe Janice can say such things to you. I thought she has motherly affection for you. She raised you ever since you were born",

ChristianWe got back to the city this morning and Ivanna left for Dallas this evening. She wanted me to come with her but I denied it, making an excuse. She still doesn't know about Adrian's release, otherwise, she would never try to go alone. I'm sure that she's still in shock after that incident because she hardly spoke about Adrian and the police case. She's too nervous even to talk about it. For the first time, I arranged tight security for her while she was leaving. Surprisingly, she didn't oppose that. It was blunt evidence of how terrified she was from inside. I badly want her to fight with me to stop giving her tight security. I want that woman back who hated all this. However, it may take enough time. I'm waiting outside the police bureau for the last twenty minutes, darting my gaze at the door. Adrian has come today for the pending procedure of his bail. And I'm waiting for him to come out. My hands have been yearning to slam the hell out of him fr

IvannaMy eyes flare up at Irene as she clamours, holding me. For a second, I go completely blank and gawk at her with all the flashes.She lied to me. She has been lying about Christian ever since I woke up after that passionate night. She knew Christian was still there. Yet, she chose to lie to me and also to Christian. She took my identity to trap him. I can never imagine she could do that."You're here?" She exclaims.Honestly, I'm in no mood to talk to her. She must be here to meet her father and she will definitely try to force me again to save Richard Rozario. I'm not doing that anymore."Yes. Just came here to meet my mom's murderer for the last time", I gasp. Irene's eyes widen in shock as she freezes as if she's knowing it right now. Didn't Janice ever tell her? Maybe she didn't want Irene to know Richard Rozario's real face. Who cares? "What— did you— say?" She stammers. "Mom's murderer?""Yes. My mom's. My", I repeat and look around
