Chapter 1

~MELISSA~”There's a fire!”“The altar is burning!!!”A fire? I looked around, the screams of the audience jolting me out of the euphoric feeling. I was so lost in the moment, exchanging vows with my fiancé, to notice what was happening around me. Smoke engulfed the air as the guests ran out. When I returned to my senses, it was already too late.Indeed, the altar was burning and I was caught in the middle of it. My wedding dress was in flames.Neither the scorching heat hurt me nor the heavy smoke suffocated me more than seeing my own fiancé running away. Wasn't he supposed to grab my hand and save me from the fire?A heavy furniture had fallen on my long wedding dress and there was no way I would be able to move from the weight. My heart pounded, my nerves jittery. Hoping he was going to get more help, my expectations were shattered when he circled the table on the second row and rushed to the rescue of my stepsister. “Anita! Speak to me! Are you alright!?” His anxious yells a

Chapter 2

Anita!That was my stepsister’s voice. My heart skipped a beat, my breath caught in my throat. The realization that my stepsister was in the opposite ward dawned on me. Maybe… Just maybe. “Relax, Dear. It's just an injection.”Raymond's voice.He was also in there.I couldn't believe my ears. I couldn't control the rapid beating of my heart as my legs took me there. Hearing Raymond's voice alone was already doing strange things to my heart. I didn't know why I was suddenly happy, but maybe that man and his son were only playing a prank. Raymond had to be my savior. “An injection!? Just an injection!?” Anita's screams continued. “Ray, I might die! Tell her to remove it!”Raymond's frustrated sigh resounded from the ward. “It's okay. You may leave.” His instruction must be directed at the nurse whose footsteps approached the door before she emerged from the ward. The nurse almost bumped into me. Thank goodness I'd already recovered from the shock. “Miss, how may I help-”I s

Chapter 3

~DESMOND~ I tugged at my necktie, letting out the exasperated air I'd been keeping inside ever since she appeared on that rooftop. That crazy lady. I just saved her life, how dare she try to take it?Funny how I'd encouraged her, knowing fully well what awaited me if I'd let her jump.For the next several years at least, my son would hate me forever. I wiped my face, shaking my head at the irony of the situation.Was that really Melissa?“Dad, what took you so long?” Caleb whined when I got inside the car. “Did you sneak away to see Mum secretly?”Mum?What Mum?That girl, although she shared a deep resemblance with her, would never be Melissa.My wife died in a car accident two years ago. I'd been there, watching, helpless, and hopeful she would survive.No amount of money spent could save her. She was gone moments before the paramedics arrived.Caleb was just three years old.Such devastating news would, in no doubt, traumatize a little boy.I’d lied to him that his mother was o

Chapter 4

“Mysti Arts Cooperation was supposed to be mine!” He went on. “I should be the CEO, and not some worthless woman like you!”Three months ago, I was voted by the board of directors as the company's CEO.Raymond and I founded the company together. For ten years, we'd built it from a garage-based software games company to owning a company building of our own with several branches spread across the country.Although the company was both ours, I did most of the management work. It was the reason why the board of directors voted me as the CEO.If Raymond had been against it, he could have voiced it instead of planning my death.I swallowed, my tears long dried up.Realizing I'd dated a monster for many years was my current biggest regret. How could I be so blind to his true colors? How could I be oblivious to the wolves surrounding me?I moved. I couldn't stay.No need to cry or lament.They wanted me gone. I would fulfill their wish.Not by ending my life, but by living it far away from

Chapter 5

I returned to the bedroom, grabbed my car keys, and raced out of the Villa.I didn't care to change out of the pajamas.Didn't bother about changing out of the slippers.As I drove down the city, one thought raced through my mind.Caleb’s declaration last night to go find his mother.He hadn’t been bluffing.The servants might be confused, but Caleb was too smart for his age.He must have tampered with the villa’s security system and left quietly without alerting even the bodyguards.He must have been planning it in advance.The sky was already bright, the morning breeze freezingly cold as I pulled over in front of the hospital building.Caleb must have come here to look for her, however, she'd long left the hospital.I could have driven to the parking lot and headed inside the hospital to find my son, but something caught my attention.On this early morning, there was a large crowd standing outside, facing the hospital building.Their eyes were fixed on the tiny figure standing on th

Chapter 6

Marry me!His words hit me like a heavy wave, and all I did was stare in utter confusion. He was still kneeling beside me, his blue eyes gazing fiercely. The young lad moved slightly in my arm, clutching me tighter. I gazed down at him and stroked his hair before my gaze fell back on the man who must be his father."What?" I had to ask to be sure I wasn't hearing things."I want you to marry me," he repeated, sounding clearer, and his eyes followed me as I rose up, the boy now standing with arms wrapped around my knees, clearly still shaken.The crowd that gathered had now completely dispersed after bathing me up with applause. I was now left with this strange man and his son, I guessed."Ok..." I fought back a chuckle. "I think there's some sort of misunderstanding here," I said and tucked my hair behind my ear."I'm serious," he said again and turned to face me."This is really odd," I said, gently pushing the boy back with a friendly smile on my face. "But I think I should get goi
