Semua Bab Hey, Stranger!: Bab 101 - Bab 110

LUCIUS is cooking dinner when suddenly he hears the front door open. He then yells, “Xavier, make sure to close the door properly.” Soon, he hears the door closed. “Good, he listens to me now.” He mumbles to himself. Shortly after, he heard a familiar voice say, “So Xavier is staying with you now?” Lucius immediately turned his head and his mood lit up instantly, “Latton!” He yelled in excitement, but when he moved to her his smile turned to a frown. “What happened to your lips?” He asked. His voice conveys concern. “Got in a minor accident. I'm so clumsy.” She explains. “Let me get the first aid and clean that wound.” He replied while rummaging in the drawer. “By the way, where are you staying right now?” He asks as he prepares the cotton ball and iodine solution. He looked at her face and her eyes were gloomy. “You don’t need to answer my question, and I’m sorry for not being a good older brother to you. I shouldn’t have given up on pressure and sent you away to Canada, but let

Surprisingly, when she went to the room, Thalia was standing and seemed to be gleeful. Latton’s blood boiled in anger. She then yelled, “BRAVO! I never knew you were a good actress. You got me. I actually thought this time you were telling the truth. But yet again, I'm wrong, and I never learned to accept that you can never love me. You still blame my existence for your failed career. It's always money for you. You want to scam money from me again.” Her words convey anger, disappointment, and exhaustion. “What are you talking about?” She asks, acting clueless. Latton marched towards her and pulled her neck brace, which was easily removed without any pain, "I never thought you would stoop this low. Fake an attack and confinement. How much did you even pay the hospital for this sick act of yours?" She roared in dismay. Thalia opens her mouth to retort Latton's claims but

ALBERT, together with Kirby, went back to their table and resumed having lunch with the Caldwells, which made George feel better, while Lucian continued looking at the door, expecting for Latton to come in, but she did not appear. Then he heard Lucius ask Kirby, "Where's Latton?" Kirby only shrugs. Lucian was about to send a text message to Latton, when suddenly Albert spoke to him and asked about the projects that might overlap with the Mist Prix. He hid his phone and began to answer all of Albert's inquiries. Meanwhile, Latton decided to stay in one of the empty VIP rooms, as her face was flustered, and her eyes were swollen from crying. She wanted to get her mind off everything before heading home as she was still upset with her father for not trusting her. She stood by the window admiring how the rain was drowning the city. Unaware of her surroundings, she didn't notice a person standing behind her looking at her menacingly. She was taken by surprise when someone grabbed her h

TEN in the morning, Lucian receives a call from Charmel stating that Malena is now in the custody of the Los Angeles Police Department. His face distorted in rage instantly, “Latton” he muttered with disgust, as if the name was unworthy to be spoken. He messages Alex to go to the LAPD to make bail for Malena while he marches to the 15th floor and gives Latton a piece of his mind. When he entered her office, she promptly greeted him with the words, “Scared already?” She said as she propped her head on her hand on the table. As if she’d been waiting for him to arrive. He swiftly walks toward her as if he's going to attack her, but he stops when he reaches her table. “Are you going to hit me?” She asks as she looks up to meet his cold gaze. She could sense his anger emanating all over him, but it did not bother her. He scoffed. She stood up, moved her head near him, and whispered, “I want to see you try.” "How do you even sleep at night, Latton?" He asks with disgust in his tone.

===WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS AN UNSETTLING TOPIC=== UNBEKNOWNST to Latton, she is not the only one having issues with dealing with a man. Weeks after, her stepmother Catherine resigned as Chief Operating Officer of Ripley International. Soon came their marital problems that she never mentioned to Latton. Albert leaves for work early and returns home late. It’s as if he was avoiding her. To put her theory to the test, she stayed up one night waiting for him and preferred a savory dinner with candlelight. She wore his favorite sexy lingerie that he purchased for her to wear on special occasions. The kind that once he sees she is wearing he can’t stop himself from ravishing her. He arrived around eleven o’clock in the evening, exhausted and drunk. He didn’t appreciate her staying up all night and even criticized her choice of clothes. She let him off the hook that night and cried herself to sleep next to the snoring pile of a man that she calls husband. She was supposed to tell L
