While self-interest may not lead to happiness, it may shield her from further harm. Once more, her phone rang. Haley took hold of it. She immediately declined the call as soon as she saw Nadine’s name. However, Nadine called back practically right away. "Nadine, if Kieran is intoxicated, call Lydia," Haley responded angrily. “Don't entangle me.” Before Nadine could say anything, Haley hung up the phone. The call was on speaker. The room was filled with Haley’s icy voice. Kieran startled. His eyes cleared a little of their haze. "See?" remarked Nadine bluntly. “That's precisely what I said. Haley won't put up with you indefinitely. Anyone would crumble amid this chaos.” Stubbornly, Kieran waved him away. "No. She is going to. She gives in every time. Call again, Nadine." Nadine got to her feet, his tone cooling. "I apologize, Kieran. I'm not going to assist you in this. I will no longer be involved in your relationship issues going forward.” Kieran raised his head

Kieran fell into the tiny sofa in the living room, and the wine soon drowned him. The white-dressed girl with the paintbrush reappeared before his eyes in a stupor. It was also a very rainy and misty day. She had rented a boat to go sketching along the river, but the unexpected, intense downpour left her trapped in the middle of the river, unable to proceed either way. He and Nadine were smoking under a bridge arch to protect themselves from the rain when they noticed the lone girl in the middle of the river. Kieran flung his cigarette butt away without thinking, leaped into the raging river, and swam in the direction of that little boat. He and Haley eventually fell in love and remained together. However, his consciousness fully collapsed into pandemonium when he landed heavily onto the chilly floor after missing. ***** "What's the big deal?" Vance smiled and gave her a shoulder pat. “If you need anything, give me a call.” Haley used her key to open the door onc

"A marriage license is only a piece of paper, Haley. We have been husband and wife for years without it! You will always be my wife in my heart! You can't go seeing other men right now, even though I understand that you're upset with me and that I made a mistake by keeping this from you.” Haley’s voice was flat as she silently observed him. Kieran spoke urgently as he leaned in closer. "A guy cannot tolerate being deceived. You've always made sense. I hope you can keep that in mind even if you're upset." Haley couldn't help but sneer icily when she heard this. "Are you done?" she asked, lowering her eyes to conceal all of her feelings as she suppressed her rage, which was nearly overwhelming her need to hit him. “I need to go to my train.” Kieran felt a little more at ease when he saw her composed demeanor. His tone softened with a tinge of pleading as he pulled out his phone. "I didn't have time to arrange a gift for your grandfather because you left so abruptly. I'll

Kieran was determined to go. "No!" Lydia pushed Riley on the table she was in a rush. "Riley!" she exclaimed as she staggered forward, her forehead striking the edge of the table. Kieran’s focus was instantly diverted. Looking at his daughter's bruised forehead, he hurried over to pick her up and muttered helplessly, "Alright, I will take you to the hospital." ***** Haley was suddenly overcome with dizziness. She gritted her teeth and used the pain to fight off the heat and lightheadedness. "Leave! The last time, you went first." The other man, whose rough hands were gripping Haley’s neck and tugging at her collar, was pulled away by the bearded man. The man who was shoved aside let forth a shout. "This is so much better than that nasty monstrosity from last time! I always receive the positive stuff first.” He hurried over right away, and the two men began fighting and swearing at one another. Haley’s heart was racing. Her voice was weak and tremulous as she crawled towar

With trembling hands, Kieran reached for his phone and phoned Rhett’s number. Rhett had brought Haley to Eves, a childhood friend's private clinic. He couldn't risk any outsider learning about Haley’s reputation—only people he had complete faith in. Quickly, Doctor Andrei hooked her up to an IV and prescribed medicine. Haley eventually calmed down under the influence of the medicine and fell asleep in Rhett’s arms. With a deep exhale, Rhett gently placed her on the hospital bed. He was exhausted from the night's chaos; despite his attempts to move away, she had clung to his neck, leaving multiple red marks. Unconsciously, a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he lingered next to her, observing her serene sleeping face. After exchanging glances, Rhett and Doctor Andrei discreetly left the room, shutting the door behind them. Rhett’s phone buzzed as soon as the door was shut. Kieran’s desperate voice came over the line as he responded. "You mentioned that you were s

With cold fingers, Haley gripped the phone hard. Stunned by her coldness, Kieran became silent. "I visited the apartment! Everything was in disarray, and the door was smashed! Lydia reported that a neighbor witnessed some goons dragging you away. Are you okay, Haley? Where are you?" The door opened once more at that moment. Rhett entered the room with a glass of water and was going to give it to her when he saw that she was tense and on the phone. He paused, keeping silent so as not to bother her. But his warm, comforting gaze never left her. Haley raised her head and briefly met his gaze. "Haley! Who is that? Who's with you?" Sharp with worry and jealousy, Kieran’s voice erupted across the phone. Haley wrenched her eyes away and returned her attention to the phone, her tone becoming even more icy. "It doesn't matter who I'm with, Kieran. I'm not destroyed, nor am I dead. I apologize for letting you and Lydia down." Kieran was struck in the stomach by the words. Lydia, wh

"You finally decided to come home?" Edward asked in a rough voice as the cane tapped firmly on the ground. "Four years. Four years in all. You grew up, went out on your own, and completely forgot about this place. I believed you would never return." Haley’s eyes pricked with tears and her nose hurt. Edward slammed his palm against the armrest and yelled. Terrified, the workers froze. Gigi rushed over to attempt to reassure him. "Please, sir. She arrived home just now. All that matters is that she's safe.” “She was gone for four years, with no word, no nothing," yelled Edward. “Do you really believe that "safe" matters to me? I believed I would never see her again.” Haley lowered her head and inhaled deeply. "You're correct, Grandpa. I was mistaken. I ought to have called and returned home. You should hit me if it will make you feel better. I'm worthy of it." Edward froze. The fiery, unyielding young girl he remembered would have battled him tooth and claw before caving down

Gigi Covey and two other maids woke Haley up early the following morning, took her out of bed, and placed her in front of a vanity. It was like being a child again. Having someone choose her clothes, do her hair, and apply cosmetics... Back then, she had loathed, but now? It felt like a luxury after four years of being on her own. She felt like she was eighteen again all of a sudden. She was adored and treated like a princess by everyone in this house. There was nothing that Haley had to do on her own. They styled her hair in gentle waves, put on a delicate, sophisticated makeup look, and clothed her in a sleek black Chanel suit. She even received assistance with washing her face and brushing her teeth. She used to detest this puppet-like way of existence. However, she eventually came to the realization that she had fallen from heaven after enduring four arduous years of suffering with Kieran. By the time they were finished, she hardly recognized herself in the glass; instead,

"You'll be a mother one day," Kitty said, her face softening slightly. “You will then comprehend my feelings. You wasted the opportunity we offered you. You—“ "I understand," Haley said in a steady voice. "And now...Don't be concerned. I wish Rhett the best of luck and promise not to bother him again." She then turned around in an attempt to flee. But from behind her came Kitty’s flat voice. "Fab and your grandfather are longtime friends. I'm sorry to see them let down. Will you please just keep our conversation to ourselves?” Haley froze. "Of course," she said, her heart as heavy as stone, without turning around. “I'll let my grandfather know that I didn't get along with Rhett. We're not a good fit.” She had already hurried out of the living room and jumped into the car before the words faded. "Go home," she told the driver, her face expressionless. The pride she had been holding onto broke completely as soon as the car door closed. The humiliation of having her pride crus

Haley’s heart skipped a beat, but she pulled herself together. "We decided to get together near Diamond Garden's entrance. Do you have time today?” "How about one hour from now?" was the succinct response from the other side. "Sure," she said. As soon as she got home, she took off her expensive purse and jewelry, put on a light brown trench coat, and changed into her typical cotton white dress and canvas shoes. She borrowed the maid's yellow Polo and drove alone to the destination, eschewing the family's expensive vehicles. She proceeded to the Starbucks at Diamond Garden's east gate and took a seat by the window. The Kane family's huge auto parts plant was visible outside the window, while her grandfather's public housing project, Diamond Garden, was in front of her. Her grandpa started the business with just three secondhand trucks, and it currently supplies half of the automobile market in the South. Her phone began to vibrate. Jude had just added her to Pt Group's core rep
