บททั้งหมดของ Framed, So I Walked Away: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Knowing Titus' attitude, I no longer threw tantrums as I did in my previous life. Instead, I obediently accepted his arrangement because I knew that it would not make any difference, no matter how much I argued.Titus would just suppress everything.My silence seemed to please Titus. He softened his tone and cooed to me in a low voice, "Once we move to Napple, I'll buy you whatever you like, even if it means moving an entire luxury boutique into our home. All that matters is that you want it."Melissa's eyes sparkled as she clung to Titus' arm and wheedled. "Titus, can I have a designer bag too? You know my childhood dream was to have my own bag..."Titus seemed to recall their childhood memories, and his gaze became even gentler. "I'll always keep one of whatever I have for you. That's the promise I made to you once."Melissa gave me a challenging look and tugged at Titus, recounting their childhood stories. They had known each other for a longer time than I had. In the past, I o

The next morning, the Riso family's motorcade drove into the slum in a grand procession. Several black luxury cars were parked neatly on the shabby square, out of place with the surrounding decrepit environment.People nearby rushed out to watch, gathering in groups while they criticized.The accompanying servants swiftly put away all the items.Titus stood by the car, occasionally tiptoeing to peer at the distant intersection. He took out his phone and checked it repeatedly. Regret somehow rose in his heart. He wondered if he had gone too far when he asked me not to return to the rental house, and whether I suffered any injustice by spending the whole night outside the slum.As soon as this thought occurred, Melissa walked over, holding Christian's hand. She said with a grin, "Titus, everything is ready. The butler and the rest are waiting. It's time for us to get in the car."Titus came to his senses, frowned, and glanced at his phone. "Let's wait a bit more. Noelle hasn't retur

As expected, under Titus' unrestrained indulgence, Melissa spent her days either shopping or at the beauty salon. She no longer fawned over Christian or revolved around him as she used to.Back in the rental house, I had taken meticulous care of Christian. Now that they had moved into Riso Manor, Christian was having a hard time. He was constantly in a bad mood and looked glum all day long.Titus was occupied with the Riso family's affairs all day, often leaving early and returning late. He had no time for Christian. The housekeepers in the manor only followed the rules and had no idea about his preferences.One night, Christian suddenly felt feverish and was tossing and turning in bed, feeling extremely uncomfortable. He struggled to get up for help, but the housekeeper on duty outside the door was nowhere to be found. He forced himself to call Melissa, but no one answered after it rang for a long time.Melissa was busy attending a high-society dinner and did not notice his distre

Fred received Titus' order and immediately set off for the slums. He searched the slums thoroughly and asked the neighbors nearby, but could not find any trace of me.Unable to delay any longer, he rushed back to Riso Manor that night and reported to Titus immediately, "Don Riso, there's no trace of the Donna in the slum. I checked her immigration records. She went to Swizor the night before you returned to Napple.""Swizor?" Titus staggered a step backward, his face filled with disbelief. Even his voice was trembling. "What is she doing in Swizor? Look into it and find out her exact location in Swizor. I want to see her and ask her in person!"Fred looked troubled and replied in a whisper, "Don Riso, the Donna seems to have deliberately hidden her whereabouts. We only found out she went to Swizor so far. We'll need time to find out the exact address."Titus waved his hand, and Fred silently left.Titus was alone in the study. His heart felt like it was tightly grasped by a hand,

After leaving Napple, I arrived in Zorio, Swizor and began a brand new life here.I met a kind baker, Danny Lerman.When I was in the slums, I always baked bread for Christian. I had basic knowledge of it and was quite talented in baking. After learning from Danny for a short while, I completed my apprenticeship.I opened a small bakery with my own efforts.Staying at the bakery every day and smelling the sweet aroma of the bread, my life was peaceful and stable. There was no suspicion or resentment. This was a life I never dared to imagine.One day, I was busy packing bread for my customers when a familiar and hoarse voice rang out. "Can you make me some buns?"It was Titus, with a tired face and bloodshot eyes. He hurried toward me, his voice hoarse and full of affection. "Noelle, I'm sorry. I have seen through Melissa's true colors and sorted out all the matters. Would you go back with me? I'll give you the very best of everything.He paused, tears flowing uncontrollably. "An
