Sydney followed Aleric to the hospital for his check-up. After the wound on his shoulder was redressed, he was allowed to leave the hospital. Sitting alone in the back seat of the car, Sydney looked at his shoulder and asked, “Does it hurt?”Aleric followed her gaze and brushed his finger slightly along where the cut was. “Sometimes, the stitches sting, but aside from that, I don't feel any pain.”Sydney leaned closer and traced her fingers along the dressing of the cut. “You will need someone to take care of you while you are at home. Have you hired a caregiver?”Aleric looked at the spot where Sydney was touching and smiled. “I am too busy to spare time to hire a caregiver. But don't worry, it isn't really difficult to tend to the wound.”“No, you can’t tend to it yourself,” Sydney opposed. “The wound can get infected if you do that as you can’t easily reach where the cut is.”“What choice do I have, Sydney? I live alone, and I have no one to help me with that.”Sydney dropped her

Julian’s mother sat before her dressing table, checking her curly black hair in the mirror. She sighed and adjusted it to the side of her face. She looked back at her husband who was reading a magazine on the bed. “Do you think I look presentable?”Her husband looked up from the magazine and smiled. “Honey, you don't need to overthink this. You look good. I am certain that even Sydney’s mother doesn't stand a chance with your beauty.”His mother smiled and looked back at the mirror. Ever since Julian had told her that Sydney was actually the Steinfeld heiress, she had been overthinking how to act and look around the Steinfeld Group madam. She knew she shouldn’t be too worried about her appearance, but due to what Julian had done to Sydney, she was a must to look decent and reassure Sydney’s mother that their family was capable of taking care of her daughter.She picked up her handbag and checked the time. She had arranged to meet Sydney’s mother at a fancy restaurant in Hay City. Th

Just as Sydney had said, Julian was appointed to the finance department. That morning he had gone to the company very early to pack his stuff from his previous office to his new office. After the news spread through the office that Julian had been denounced by his ex-wife who was also the Steinfeld heiress, many employees started avoiding him like he was a plague. Nobody wanted to be the next target of his vicious ex-wife. After putting everything he owned in a box, he walked toward the desk, looking at a desk plate which had the bold letters ‘CEO Julian' written on it. He picked up the name tag and turned it in his hand. He had taken a huge pride in owning that tag, but now it was nothing but a reminder of what he had lost. He gripped it in his hand and walked back to the box. He took one last look at the tag and dropped it into the box. Then, he picked the box up and made his way out of the office. Two women walking in his direction in the hallway quickly turned and went to the o

The next morning, Jade went back to her bedroom to prepare for the day. Arthur had left for work so she didn't meet him in the bedroom. She had her bath and sauntered to her walk-in closet to check for the outfit she was going to wear. After browsing through the closet, she settled for a soft woolen brown skirt and jacket. She looked at the section where a variety of fancy bags were arranged and wondered which bag to pair with her outfit. She groaned as she thought, she wouldn’t be in this position if she had purchased that beige Birkin bag. With a heavy sigh, she picked a nice black clutch and went back to her bedroom. She got dressed and walked out of the bedroom. She went to the dining room and met her daughter seated at the table, eating her breakfast. She joined her in the dining room and waited for the chef to serve her meal. After she was done eating, she kissed her daughter on the cheek and bid her goodbye.Then, her nanny entered the dining room to take her daughter to schoo
