Hadley looked at Maurice eyes wide open and she wondered how she was going to lie her way through this."I..was..I mean..that was..," Hadley stuttered trying to find the plausible lie that she could find but she found none because was she going to say she stopped being allergic to strawberry overnight?Maurice looked at Hadley who was having hard time processing her thought as she bit her lips hard and he smirked not understanding what was going wrong but he knew one thing for sure something was definitely going wrong."What did you mean? I am not allergic to strawberry," Hadley says, trying her luck because she knew Ella and Maurice were not close before their marriage so there was no way he would know about her allergy."Really? That was not what was in the report I got the other day," Maurice says, amused, rubbing his pink lips and Hadley eyes widened.Report? He had his fiancee checked? She gulped at the realization that her lies might have been caught but she still put up a swee

Hadley looked at Maurice and she wondered what was going on in his head. She knew she could not convince herself that what she did was nothing but she must not believe it.She can not tie herself to the family by being what they just assumed she was because she would be leaving soon and that was it."I don't know what you are trying to believe Mr Elliot but it's definitely not what you are thinking," Hadley says firmly and she avoids Maurice's face.Maurice looked at the woman that was trying all her might to not keep a gaze with him and he noticed that she was struggling with herself.Like she was battling with something and he was going to find out."I still think you were different," Maurice says and before Hadley could counterattack Maurice grabbed her hand and Hadley shrieked at the sudden body contact."What the fuck are you doing?" She shrieked looking for any possible rashes on Maurice's body and it was true the rashes were there.They appeared again.Hadley looked at the rash

Maurice walked down the stairs, his shoes clanking off the floor as he approached the dining hall where Hadley was doing justice to her food.Maurice stared at the woman's back and he felt that she was worrying about something really bad and that he does not why but he was not concerned too.She has been worried ever since they got married due to her irrational actions.Maurice woke to the edge of the table like always but Hadley did not even raise her head to look at him.Great, she does not care either.After Hadley finished eating she stood up from the table like a lifeless dummy."I would be going to work now," Hadley announced and without waiting for Maurice's reply she left.The maid that was in the living room was shocked. Is that really their madam? Why was she so quiet? Even Maurice was dumbfounded.Hadley walked out of the house and the chauffeur offered to take her but she declined.She wasn't going to the office to start with but she was going out to meet someone.She nee

Inside a not-so-spacious office designed elegantly with a table and three desks, Hadley was seen standing upright in front of her supervisor as she gets herself busy with work not minding the girl that was standing in front of her.Hadley looked at her supervisor that was not sparing her a glance and she felt the urge to roll her eyes.She decided to use the time that she was being ignored to think about what happened at the mall.If Maurice had not come to the mall at that time, it was likely for her not to miss her things and by this time she might be the one that was going to be standing in front of the strict-looking woman.God, I hate this life, Hadley lamented knowing her life in the countryside might not be peaceful but at least she was not walking eggshells around anyone."Did you wanna sit and make yourself more comfy," Sandra heard the supervisor's stern voice and that was enough to get Sandra up from the armchair she was sitting on and she wondered how she got there.Was sh

Hadley's breath becomes uneven immediately after she hears there might be something wrong with the car and with Maurice's unsettled look, she knows it was not something ordinary.A soft scream escaped her mouth as the driver started running through different red lights under Maurice's instructions and she kept telling herself that it was fine. A red blush rose to her cheek due to intense fear that she did not know that Maurice was instructing her to do something until she felt his closeness."Are you trying to take advantage of me during this crisis," Hadley shrieked, extremely annoyed about Maurice's action but she was embarrassed when she saw what Maurice did."Instead of your deafening cries don't you think getting yourself to safety first is the best solution," Maurice says, anger evident in his voice as he jerked Hadley's body with the seat belt and she gasped in discomfort knowing the man did it on purpose.After Maurice helps with Hadley's seat belt he saw red rashes rise to hi
