“I can’t believe you, dad!” Dane exclaimed. He just got home from the company when his father started talking.“What is your problem with that?” Darren asked his son while his eyebrows were knitted together. He couldn’t believe the kind of reaction he got from his son. “It sounded like you are a loser here. I just want to remind you that Gertrude Jimenez is not an ordinary girl. She is the sole heiress of Jimenez Group.”Dane sighed heavily as he tried to calm himself down. He didn’t want to lose his respect for his father despite what he was telling him at that moment.“Dad, you cannot just decide about this matter. You cannot tell me who I should marry,” he said in a calm tone.But those words didn’t do any good.“What did you say? As long as you are here in this house, I am the one who will decide! How can you say this to me after raising you alone?” His father continued. The anger and bitterness in his voice couldn’t be hidden.But Dane was used to it. Whenever he wanted to go aga

It didn’t take long and Gertrude received a call from her father. “What’s happening?” There was anger in his voice. “What do you mean?” She asked as if she didn’t know what his father was talking about. “Gertrude!” His voice became loud as if warning her. “What is your husband doing? I can see his face a

When she heard the sound of the car engine going far from the house, Gertude couldn’t help but sit on the chair inside the garden.The tears that she had been holding since earlier finally ran down her cheeks. Her shoulders were going up and down as her sobs turned into a loud cry.She felt like her heart was going to explode.It was so painful to see how her husband chose his mistress over her.“Agatha, why do you need to come back?” She said to herself between her tears. She was okay with the cold treatment of her husband since they got married but it got worse when his childhood friend, Agatha, came back.She never thought that the two shared a romantic relationship before. Even if she had already seen the news and heard a lot of rumors about them, she just overlooked it. She didn’t want Dane to think that she was keeping an eye on him, especially that she was trying to make their marriage work out.She was in that kind of state when her phone suddenly rang. She had no intention of
