Garrett knew he was pathetic. But what could he do? Just meeting Elice made him feel messed up; he didn't want to add to the chaos.The idea of approaching Elice and marrying her Garrett put out of his mind. He didn't want to use Elice for his own interests. Though in reality Garrett wasn't sure. Did he really just want to use her, or was this just like a spark of gasoline on a flame?Indeed, Garrett couldn't forget Elice from that night. And the fact that he had to get married soon made Elice's image even stronger in his mind.There are several reasons why I shouldn't consider marrying Elice, apart from those two things. Elice is Ariel's ex-girlfriend and she has no feelings for me.Garrett closed the subject by lying down on his bed. He still had six months. And in six months, he knew. Anything could happen. Either he would find another woman or the opposite.That morning, Garrett, who had just come down from the second floor where his r

Just by hearing her voice, Garrett could guess what had happened to Elice just by hearing her name. Of course, the woman was not in a good condition. And that immediately made him uneasy. "Elice," Garrett said her name. "Where are you now? Are you okay?" Inside the moving car, driven by his private chauffeur, Garrett couldn't contain the pressure. He had contacted Elice after learning that Daphne and Carolus had met her at his office. He was sure that Elice must be in shock. "I'm in the office, Garrett. And what is happening right now? I don't understand at all. Earlier there was an old lady..." Garrett dramatically closed his eyes. His jaw tightened immediately. "...talking about a lot of things I don't understand. Oh God. I'm really confused right now." Garrett took a deep breath. He had to stay calm. That was the most important thing right now. "I think we should get together, Elice." Amber, who was sitting right nex

The soft knock on the door made Elice lift her head. She turned to find Amber entering. With both hands apparently clasped together, the middle-aged woman seemed hesitant."Uh... it's late. I think you should eat. You haven't eaten all day, Elice."Eating was the last thing on Elice's mind. She didn't need it right now. What she needed was to be free of all these problems.Elice shook her head and declined the offer. "I'm fine. And I'm not hungry."Amber sighed deeply at the refusal. Not taking it lightly, she decided to step forward. She entered and approached Elice, who was sitting on the edge of the bed in a disheveled state."You need to eat to get through a situation like this. Getting sick is not good for you right now."What Amber said was true. However, Elice noticed that her stomach did not feel hungry at all. It was as if her body was collectively shutting down because her mind was being driven almost insane by the circumstances.

"How could you not check?!"A shout greeted Carolus that morning. Just as he visited the Morales residence after learning of Daphne's condition. Thinking that Daphne was really sick as reported, he was not prepared for the anger that erupted right in front of his face."This woman is Ariel's ex-girlfriend! Why didn't you check her background?!"Carolus swallowed hard. His hands clasped in front of him in a polite and accepting posture. He made no attempt to evade the accusations he had received."I'm sorry, madam, but everything happened so fast yesterday, and—""Silence!"Daphne snapped. The traces of emotion were clearly visible on her aged face. Her breath was racing, a sign that the current situation was truly testing her limited patience."Well, what can we do? What can we do? The whole world knows about Garrett and Elice's relationship! Everyone knows, Carolus!"Daphne clenched her fists. Then she slapped the arm of

When Elice entered Rita's residential area, the clock on her wrist already showed eleven. A long time had passed if she had not decided to pick up her car at the Metro first. But at least Elice could be sure to get home on time. The situation seemed calmer and more under control.Elice got out of the car. In the urgency of missing Wilda and worrying about her, she hurried to open the gate door. Only to find the bright light blinding her eyes.Elice blinked her eyes. At the same time, her hand spontaneously lifted from the gate key. Trying to ward off the glare that disturbed her vision.The sound of a car door opening was heard. Followed by the sound of the car door closing with the impression of being half slammed. As if the person was in a hurry.However, it seemed that this person was indeed in a hurry, for his steps were large and swift. Taking advantage of the glare that left Elice motionless in her standing position, he approached her, reaching out
