“Fucking traitor, I trusted you man!” People started pulling Riden away from Kai who’s now lying on the marbled floor, his right hand holding his jaw as he looks at him.“You’re bullshit, you know that?” He tried freeing himself from the grasp of the people. Ellyse was on the floor with Kai, holding his shoulder. She tried touching his jaw to see where he was bleeding but Kai quickly caught her hand and gave her a glare. She felt startled but continued to ignore it.“Are you okay?” She asked him with worry lacing her voice.“I feel so…fucking sorry for you,” He pointed at him like he was the most disgusting person he’s ever met.“You had such a good life, such a good wife, such a good fucking family and yet you ruined it! For what?! Huh?” He tried punching him again but this time, Ellyse went in the middle of them, shielding Kai.“Riden! That’s enough!” She faces him, eyes fired up.He looked at her with pure disbe

Kai left for a business trip the next day after that. But, he was sweet enough to leave Claire a letter since she hasn’t seen him since yesterday. “Daddy will come home after two weeks okay? Don’t be a bad girl. I’ll call you everyday. I’ll miss you, sweetheart. Love, dad,” Claire read the letter Kai had left her to Ellyse. “You read what your dad said, don’t be a bad girl okay?” They’re in her room, she’s tying her hair into two pigtails while she stared at herself in the mirror. “I’m not a bad girl!” She pouted. She chuckled, gently pinching her daughter’s cheeks. “You can be at times!” “Ow mom!” Ellyse felt so happy and at ease now that Claire’s fully recovered. In fact, she’s helping her get ready for school. “Oh I’m sorry, Claire. I’m just happy that you’re fine now,” She planted a soft kiss on the cheek she pinched. “I feel so much stronger now!” She even mimick

“I’m sorry?” He craned his head to the side, holding the gate’s frame as he eyed Ellyse. It’s been a while since they last saw eachother and he felt quite weird seeing her now after what happened a week ago. She licked her lips, “She was here earlier and then she left when she found out that you punched Kai in the charity ball,” Riden’s brow lifted upon mentioning Kai’s name. “She was here?” He repeated. “She told me you’re a friend of hers…” She trailed off. She knew they were not just friends. They were more. He lets out a chuckle before slicking his disheveled hair back. “Friend huh,” He nodded before looking at her. “Agatha’s not my friend just so we’re clear,” Ellyse nodded. “I know,” He also nodded. “Do you want to come inside?” He took a step back, making room for her to enter. She gave him a small smile before ent

from hushmagazine: Good day! Ms. Ellyse Your scheduled photoshoot will be from August 20-23. Unfortunately, we cannot reschedule it since there are a lot of scheduled photoshoots that are still ongoing. I hope you understand. Best Regards, Crisa Hung. Ellyse lets out a heavy sigh as she read that email from Crisa Hung. Kai will be home by the 20th so that means that their plan to visit a flower field will be on the 21st. And the photoshoot is four days long! Claire will surely be discouraged when she finds out that Ellyse had other plans. If she moves their plan then her daughter will also feel sad. Kai’s also busy with work and he might’ve scheduled his leave already. Today was August 19, exactly a day before Kai goes back from abroad. What she doesn’t join them? What’s important is Claire. She doesn’t necessarily need to join them, right? After careful thought, she ended up accepting the fact that she might be unable to go. Ellyse wants to choose herself this tim

Ellyse and Riden ate dinner together until both of their stomach were full. She didn’t want to go home yet so they decided to sit at his patio to kill time. The sky was sprinkled with stars, and the moon was brightly lit. Everything felt calming and relaxing to Ellyse. The sounds of the swimming pool was enough to make the scene even more therapeutic. “Why do you seem fine with the fact that Agatha cheated on you with my husband?” She asked him. It’s a thought that never left her mind. Riden was fine of letting go of Agatha, he loved her so much to the point where he’s willing to let her go. Riden who had asked her if she wanted whiskey earlier drank from his glass, “Do I seem fine?” He chuckled. She licked her lips, “I mean…you don’t even seem mad at her. You just…well, accepted the fact that she cheated on you?” His eyes were fixed on the glass he’s holding, it’s almost as if he’s watching the l
