Semua Bab The Broken Ring: Rewriting the Illegitimate Heiress' Fate: Bab 41 - Bab 50

"C'mon bro. Brighten up. Don't be such a killjoy.""I can't man. Lia's waiting for me.""Tsk. Is it just me or the moment you married that woman, you ceased going to parties, hmm? Just what did you see with that woman?" I sighed in frustration before rolling my eyes. Damn it, this question, again?"Even if I list it for you, you won't get it, Hiro." I tried to get up and leave but this fucker just kept pulling back to sit. I wanted to get home fast. I want to break the news to Lia. To celebrate with her at home…I'm sure she'd be delighted when she hears about the big deal I just closed earlier. Ever since that guy passed away, Dad had no other choice but to leave all his work to me. I mean, who else would be qualified to take over? I know he was hesitant at first but I just needed to prove to him that he was wrong. That I am more capable than he initially thought.I admit, things got busier. I rarely come home and surely, Lia's lonely at home. Lacey isn't in the city to keep her com

"It makes you want to throw up, right? I feel you, Rue. But instead, it's not the cake that's the problem here.""Lia…? w-what are you–" he sounded so confused, making me break in a dry laugh."It's so damn disgusting, Rue. Like my entire system wanted to reject it…to reject you. To throw you up so I'll feel better and think that this is all just a nasty nightmare." "Oh yeah, we made a promise, right? Do not keep secrets to each other. Turns out, I lied. I've felt…so disgusted whenever you come near me yet here I am, still drawn to you…" Every piece of me broke in just a span of months. I thought it has ended but looks like there's still some of me left to break."Lia..I-I…" Meeting his gaze, expression twisting in shock, I almost fell for it again. The face I just imagined by trailing my hands on them, feeling each corners. I finally saw it. That handsome face of his. At first, I thought I was lucky, but it was neither his face nor his body that made me fell in love with him. It wa

"Would you like to hear a story, Ms. Lianna Smith?" Eridessa Joseph leaned forward, her hands clasping with her chin resting on top of it. Her mocking eyes looked intently on me, causing me complete discomfort."No thanks. I got to go." I don't need to hear anymore. If I stay here any longer, I don't know what I'll do. I might regret it. Putting the bill on the table, I hurried to grab my things and stood, yet I stopped in my tracks when she sighed, leaning backwards before calling for the waiter."That's a pity. I think you'd be delighted to hear what I'm about to say." My mind wanted to close shut, annoyed by the presence of this woman. However, my heart and my body remained still, stoned in anticipation of what she had to say. Taking a gracious sip on her tea, she started storytelling something."Once upon a time, there was a girl who dreamed of having everything. It was a simple wish of an innocent child. Who wouldn't dream of such a grandeur life? Yet, ever since she came to th

"Lacey!" "What's with the screaming, Limwel? Shut it. You're noisy." "You better come see this…" Sensing the urgency in Limwel's voice, Lacey got up and went to the living room. We were back at her hotel and here I am, sulking at her bedroom now. My body feels so weary. I wanted so much as to sleep it off yet my senses were restless, curious on the seriousness on Limwel's voice earlier. Getting up and walking towards the door, I opened it slightly, so as not to catch their attention. They were watching something on the television with their backs against me. "Mrs. Natalia Kilmer. Is the rumors regarding your son's infidelity true?" Suddenly, a voice

A year has passed. Things have changed. A lot of it. Seasons have come and gone, so do people…Yeah people…So as…you….I thought I was fine about everything now. That I've moved on. That all the things that happened have been put out of my mind…What a jokester…really. For here I am again, back at this hateful place…back at this city where you, who came like a storm in my life, turned all the bad shits into the most beautiful dream. A dream where I never thought that…you'd become a nightmare, too…Back at this place after a long while…weeping silently, as my eyes that I have regained recently…viewed the most painful sight, I could have never imagined.Seeing you…being wed to the very same woman, you've claimed you never loved…"So…you've learnt to love her…." I whispered to the cold air, watching as two, shining people were the center of the glittering crowd, clapping and rejoicing for the union of two, gorgeous people.Union…to think you'd formally stage a grand wedding with her as a
