Married For 30 Days 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 41 - 챕터 50

AnaI gave Candace a questioning look. “What kind of…situation are we talking about?”She pursed her lips, then nodded and handed me a piece of folded white paper. I opened it to find scrawny handwriting by someone named…Anonymous?The note read: "My lovely Beth, You think you're too good for me? You think you can just dump me and move on?Newsflash: nobody dumps me, I do the dumping.You're gonna pay for humiliating me, and your precious sister won't be able to save you.You're not as special as you think.”My eyes scanned the note, my mind racing with questions. "Who wrote this?" I demanded, my voice barely above a whisper.Candace's expression turned grim. "We don't know," she admitted. "Beth received it earlier today. She's been shaken ever since."I read the note again, my heart sinking."Is this related to Tony, or even Shirley?" I wondered aloud.Candace's eyes widened. “Did you just say Shirley?"I hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. “Yes, Shirley. She came by Ben's office

AnaWe were all seated at the dining table, about to have dinner when I noticed Ben was missing. I remembered waving him off while he was on a call while I left to check up on Beth and Liam.Where was he? It was already dark outside.I turned to Candace, my voice filled with worry. “Seems Ben won't be coming to dinner,” I commented casually.Candace shrugged and continued dishing out food. Well, that wasn't the answer I was hoping to get.Luckily, a maid approached the table when she heard my question and politely informed me that Mr. Pierce had gone out two hours ago.Gone out? Two hours ago? That was almost the same time he'd taken that call when we came back. Could that have been Shirley calling?I knew it! He finally succumbed and went to see her. It's true what they say: a man never forgets his first love. Who knew what they were doing right now?I wouldn't trust that Shirley woman to not try and start something with Ben. Soon I lost my appetite just thinking about Ben and Shirl

After I threatened to alight, the rest of our journey went smoothly, with Terrence finally driving like a sane person. Minutes later, we pulled into a large expanse of land with three to four airplanes parked in the vicinity. My mouth hung open in shock as it dawned on me; this was Ben's private hangar, with his own personal airplanes and staff? Exactly how rich was this guy?? I wondered in surprise as I stepped down from the car. I spent the next few minutes looking around in wonder at the magnificent edifice that was the hangar. A few men and women hurried about, either going to or from their work deck. I even noticed a handful of smartly-dressed air hostesses, with their navy-blue skirts, and sparkling white shirts. A red bow tied at the neck complimented their classy outfit. These women were living the dream! I muttered to myself. After all, they get to fly around the world, meeting people and making connections, while also being paid. But most importantly, they hav

AnaIt was nighttime and I had just begun to unwind in my luxurious suite, gazing out at Tokyo's glittering skyline, when a knock at the door interrupted my alone-time.Expecting room service or perhaps a concierge, I opened the door, only to find Ben standing in the hallway with an unreadable expression on his face."Yes?" I asked warily.“Can I come in?” He asked, peering over my shoulder, as if searching for something.“Not a chance, Ben. And you know why. Please leave.” I said and turned to go back to the bed.“Fine! I'm sorry, Ana. Can we move on now?” He asked, sounding almost desperate, that I had to turn and look at his face.And when I did, I found out I was right. It wasn't like Ben to get worked up over me, therefore something must've happened that made him realize he needed my help and has to apologize.What a selfish jerk!I shook my head in defeat, “Do whatever you want, Ben. But just leave me out of it.”Ben chuckled, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Look, I'm not here

Ana"Ben, wait!" I called, but he was already gone like a flash.Reaching for my handbag, I dug inside it for my phone, mumbling curse words under my breath as I searched.I soon found it and immediately dialed Terrence’s work number.When the phone rang twice, and there was no answer, I seriously began to panic. I grabbed my bag and ran out of the restaurant, heading back to the hotel.I got into our suite to find Ben stuffing clothes in his luggage in a hurry, with Terrence standing just at the door.“Okay. This is nuts, alright?” I said as I approached Ben.“Ana, not now.” He said and continued packing, picking up a few ties and tossing them in the luggage.“Yes, now!” I yelled out in frustration. “Just tell me what is going on please.” I was tired of being taken for granted and being pushed to the corner when important stuff arises. I was just done with it and needed to be included.“Who was that mysterious man back at the restaurant?” I asked him, my hands on my waist.Ben shook
