Max pursed his lips, "she'll be fine. She'll understand."—Mia dragged her legs down the hallway. Her whole life felt miserable. Her whole life felt like a lie.The whole thing even felt like a dream to her. A long sad dream, and she wished she’d wake up quickly from it. It was way too scary. How could her boyfriend betray her with her best friend? It wasn’t possible.She only read it in novels and saw it in movies.Never in her eighteen years of life did she expect such a thing would actually happen to her. Nah, it was over for her. Totally over for her.Her legs suddenly gave way, and before she knew it, she collapsed to the ground.When Mia opened her eyes again, she was in a ward in a hospital. It was already the following morning.She had been rushed to the hospital immediately after a janitor found her lying unconscious on the ground.She had really thought he was 'the one.' Max. Their names even shared the same initials—'M.'Initially, she had thought Max came last night to giv

Barbara's expression suddenly shifted to one of concern. "Mia, why are you home? Isn't your sister still in school?"Although her words appeared to show genuine concern for her stepdaughter, Mia sensed an underlying message.The witch was insinuating, "Why aren't you taking your studies seriously like your sister?"Barbara was deliberately stirring up trouble in front of her father. Again.But Mia was accustomed to this behavior. Barbara always did this."Yes, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in school?" Mia's father bellowed.Yet, Mia couldn't help but be shocked each time her father sided with Barbara, falling into the witch's trap repeatedly. Why? He had never taken her side, not even once."Have you suddenly lost your ability to speak?" Mia's silence started to irritate him."Dad," she looked directly into his eyes, hoping to find a glimmer of affection. "Were you not informed that I fell ill?"Her father's brows furrowed. "Ill?"He glanced at his wife."Yeah, the school

Mia's mother had found her when she was homeless and starving, living in the slums. With nowhere to go and no one to turn to, Mia's mother took her in.If she didn't treat that woman's daughter well, wouldn't that be considered ungrateful? Wouldn't the deceased be disappointed?After ensuring that Mia was completely out of sight, Madam Grace shook her head and returned to the mansion.—Mia flagged down a taxi by the roadside and returned to the school's dormitory. She had missed the day's classes and needed to copy some notes.She actually wished she didn't have to go back to the dorm, to her room—the room she shared with Martha, her supposed best friend—but what other choice did she have?Like Madam Grace had rightly said, her mother wouldn't be happy to see her in such a state. Mia needed to forget about the past, focus on the present, and move on. Right?As soon as the taxi pulled up in front of the dormitory's imposing iron gates, Mia paid the driver and began walking slowly insid

The car's exhaust filling up Lucas' nostrils, after the CEO had zoomed off, was what replied the young man. He coughed loudly, waving off the exhaust as he headed back into the corporation. He still had a few things to do before he would call it a day. He chuckled as thughts of his icy cold boss overwhelmed his mind. He was a hundred percent sure that the lady his boss had sent him to go deliver the divorce papers to, had something to do with the man being in a bad mood throughout today.Lucas wondered how the two even got married in the first place... It mush have been that lady's fault. He knew his boss had no romantic relationship going on with any lady... In fact, the man despised women... He's even tagged 'gay lord'. So, how come?He was extremely surprised when his boss had called him in the morning to come pick him up in front of the Bureau's office. But then, thinking about that lady's physical appearance... Earlier on, when he went to hand over the divorce papers... she didn'

However, now, for his dying grandfather, he'd have to do it. Get married. The search for a wife officially began. Shawn began to make a mental list of all the girls he could choose a bride from. There was none. Absolutely none. He found that all of them were either after his fame, money, or the position of the madam of Beats Corporations. Rubbish. The CEO scoffed exasperatedly. Whether he likes it or not, he has to choose one out of all of those despicable people... He had no choice. And this angered him greatly. Who would he choose to marry?... Right at this moment, something flashed through his eyes. In reality, he was, in fact, already married. That girl... That tiny little girl... The girl from this morning... The CEO pursed his lips. Could she have signed the divorce papers already? But wait. Is he making the right decision by choosing her? Her attitude this morning was... She was just too forward... Look at the way she had jumped at him... Well, she'd m
