Semua Bab I Became the Lover of My Ex-Boyfriend's Archenemy: Bab 11 - Bab 19

I hesitated for a moment, lips parting slightly as I was about to speak, but Raleigh interrupted me."While shopping, I saw a necklace that I thought looked nice, so I bought it for you," he said, taking it out of the box and carefully putting it around my neck without waiting for my response.His movements were slow and cautious as if he were afraid I might refuse. I had seen his decisive demeanor at work, and he rarely smiled, so this sudden caution felt a bit strange to me. However, he often did things like this.He'd drop by the hospital, treat me to meals and flowers, and then, just as casually, he got me a necklace."It's very beautiful. I really like it," I said, picking up the necklace and smiling at him.Seeing his serious expression, I sat him down on a bench and held his hand. His dark eyes were fixed on mine as he whispered, " Have you ever thought about the possibility that I'm speaking the truth?"My smile faltered for a moment as I looked up at the slightly darkening s

"Mr. Reed, looking at Miss Wright's condition, you might need to spend more time with her, and take her to places you've been before. It might help her remember you," the doctor said."You’re useless! And to think you call yourself the best neurologist in the country. If Stella can't remember me, you can forget about keeping your reputation!" Justin shoved the doctor aside, scolded him, and then left.However, before Justin could put his plan into action, his father found the villa where he and Jasmine were living.Justin was holding Jasmine, drowning his sorrows in alcohol. When he saw his father, he stood up in fright, trembling as he spoke, "Dad, how did you..."Slap—Austin Reed had slapped Justin so hard that it rendered Justin speechless."I was wondering why Stella resigned to go to the Landon Group. It turns out you are having an affair! You bastard! Are you trying to ruin me?! Do you have any idea how important Stella is to our company!" Austin seethed with rage, his whole bod

Justin was speechless."I wasn't sincere with Jasmine, but what about you and Raleigh? Who are you to accuse me? You slept with him too, didn't you?" He found an opening and interrogated me."Whether I did or didn't, what does it matter to you?" I retorted coldly."The old me died the moment you pushed me into the sea. Everything afterward has nothing to do with you," I said, my gaze darkening gradually.Justin felt a pang in his heart seeing my indifferent expression. He grabbed my hand, still trying to argue. "I won't break up with you. I can just dump Jasmine. I don't love her at all. It's you that I love."Having been together for three years, Justin was always convinced that my love for him would last forever.I tried to break free from his grip, but this time he held on tightly. My dad intervened, pulling me behind him and slapping Justin."You disgusting bastard! If you dare come near my daughter again, I'll break your legs!" my dad berated Justine angrily before dragging me aw

I searched around and found Raleigh in the second-floor bedroom. He reeked of alcohol, slouched on the edge of the bed, holding a wine bottle in one hand and clutching a photo frame in the other. His shirt was half unbuttoned, exposing his fair and sturdy chest.When I reached for the wine bottle, he released his grip.However, the moment I took hold of the photo frame, he abruptly opened his eyes, his deep and intense gaze locking onto me, clouded with the effects of alcohol."Don't touch this," he said, his voice husky. His words piqued my curiosity, so I smiled and asked, "Can I see?" "No," he replied sharply.Seeing his stubbornness, I didn't insist. Instead, I helped him up, laid him on the bed, removed his shoes, and then went to fetch him a glass of water. While he drank, I took a peek at the photo frame. It was a picture of me kissing him.“What’s so precious about this?” I wondered."Raleigh, why did you drink so much? This isn't like you," I asked in a serious tone as I
