Chapter 11: Nowhere to Go

Kelsey’s eyes widened slightly in surprise the moment she recognized the man sitting inside the car.It was Mr Rowland.The same man from the hospital.He still looked calm and powerful, dressed in a dark suit that made his cold appearance even more intimidating.“We meet again,” he said calmly.Kelsey blinked lightly. She hadn’t expected to see him again so soon.“Mr Rowland,” she greeted softly.“What are you doing standing here?” he asked.Kelsey glanced around herself before replying honestly.“Waiting for a bus.”Mr Rowland’s brows lifted slightly as though the answer surprised him.“A bus?”Kelsey nodded quietly.For a moment, silence settled between them. Then he looked toward the front seat and said, “Open the door.”The driver immediately stepped out and opened the back door for her respectfully.Kelsey hesitated for a second.“You don’t have to worry. I’m not kidnapping you,” Mr Rowland said flatly.Kelsey almost laughed at the unexpected remark.Since she had no idea when t

Chapter 12: Misunderstood

Ramon’s arms instantly loosened around Kelsey as though he had never wanted any physical contact with her in the first place. “Have you gone nuts?” he snapped angrily, his voice colder than ever. “Don’t you know how to watch where you’re going?” As he spoke, his sharp eyes moved toward the car speeding away like it was running from something. Then he looked back at Kelsey from head to toe, his expression full of irritation. “Do you plan to get yourself killed?” he shouted loudly, making her flinch. Kelsey looked up at him shakily. “I… I didn’t see it,” she stammered. “Then you must be duller than I thought,” Ramon replied harshly. Kelsey’s brows furrowed slightly at his words, but Ramon was too angry to care. He truly didn’t understand how someone could be this careless. In his eyes, there was never a single thing Kelsey managed to do properly. “What are you even doing here?” he asked coldly. The area they were in was far from the Ivory Mansion. There was no reason

Chapter 13: Refusing to Kneel

The evening breeze blew softly through the public garden not far from the Ivory Mansion.Kelsey sat quietly on one of the wooden benches, thinking about the next step to take after finding out that she couldn’t rent an apartment.“Did they know?” she asked herself softly.“They sure did.”She nodded slowly to herself as she felt a sharp pang in her chest.She believed the Holloways knew she had nowhere to go if she left them. That was probably why they treated her badly all these years.But did she truly have nowhere to go?She did.Her father’s house.Kelsey shook her head immediately at the thought.“I can’t return now.”She had planned that after her divorce with Ramon was finalized, she would go look for the Morgans herself. She needed answers.She needed to know why they abandoned her father.Kelsey lowered her head slightly.Everything felt complicated.And the worst part was… Kendrick. The thought of her son made her chest ache painfully.How was she supposed to handle Kendrick’

Chapter 14: The Diary

Kelsey came downstairs quickly.The moment she stepped into the living room again, all eyes turned toward her.Doris was still standing beside the couch with anger written all over her face. Wanda stood beside her, gently rubbing her arm as though trying to calm her down. Grace and the servants remained nearby like they were waiting for another explosion.“Kelsey!” Doris snapped immediately. “You still dare come back down here after the nonsense you said to me?”But Kelsey ignored her completely.Her eyes remained fixed on Wanda as she stretched out her hand. “Give me back my diary.”The entire room fell silent.They had probably thought she came back downstairs to apologize.Wanda’s expression stiffened for a split second before confusion slowly appeared on her face.“Your… diary?” Wanda muttered softly before her tone became louder. “What are you talking about?”Then she quickly added, “Besides, what you should be doing right now is getting on your knees and apologizing to Mum befor

Chapter 15: She Was Serious

Ramon’s brows furrowed deeply the moment Kelsey’s words fell into the silence.For a brief second, the entire living room felt strangely quiet.His eyes stayed fixed on her.But Kelsey didn’t look nervous after saying it. She simply held the diary tightly in her hand and stood there calmly like the divorce meant nothing to her.That alone irritated him more than it should.Doris looked stunned before anger quickly returned to her face.“What do you mean you’re already working on it?” she asked sharply.Ramon noticed the small smile on Kelsey’s face and wondered what exactly she was up to.“We are getting a divorce,” Kelsey responded calmly.Ramon’s jaw tightened immediately.“Stop talking nonsense,” he said coldly.He felt that her tantrum and constant search for attention were becoming too much.He was still annoyed about the stunt she pulled earlier outside, and now she was creating another scene at home.The moment his mother called him and said Kelsey was insulting her, he had imm

Chapter 16: A Friend and A Threat

The moment Kelsey locked the bedroom door behind her, she quickly walked toward the bed and sat down. Her heart was beating fast. She lowered her eyes to the pink diary still in her hand and tightened her grip around it. Without wasting another second, she quickly opened it and started flipping through the pages anxiously, searching for a particular contact. Her breathing became uneven after flipping through several pages without seeing it. “Please be there…” she whispered under her breath. The contact number had to be there. It was the only hope she had at the moment. Her fingers suddenly paused and her eyes instantly lit up with relief. There it was. Ruby Greece. A shaky breath escaped her lips immediately. “Thank God…” She quickly reached for her phone and dialed the number without hesitation. Her heart pounded loudly while the call rang. But the call ended without an answer. Kelsey’s chest tightened slightly. Had Ruby changed her number? She bit her

Chapter 17: Morning Routine

The next morning, Kelsey was already dressed and out of her room before the rest of the mansion fully woke up.She wore a black workout outfit with white sneakers, and her hair was packed neatly into a ponytail. She was going for a jog, something she used to do every morning before she lost her memories.She had almost reached the entrance door when Grace’s surprised voice suddenly called out.“Kelsey!”Kelsey paused and sighed quietly.She had really wanted to leave without meeting anyone, but it seemed impossible in that household.Grace stared at her from head to toe in confusion.“Where are you going dressed like that this early in the morning?”“Can’t you tell?” Kelsey responded naturally even though she really wanted to ignore her.Grace blinked repeatedly.“A jog?”Before Kelsey could say anything else, Doris’ sharp voice came from the corner as though she had been standing there all along.“What nonsense is she talking about?”Kelsey closed her eyes briefly when she saw Doris

Chapter 18: The Trending Video

As Daniel left the office, the door closed softly behind him.Ramon’s eyes remained fixed on the tablet as the video replayed again.It was a video of Kelsey beating up the caregiver at the hospital. The video showed that it had been secretly captured with a phone.Ramon couldn’t believe the person in the video was her.But it was truly Kelsey.She had been acting strange lately, and he thought she only wanted attention, but this was beyond that.She now went around fighting people.The video was mute, so he couldn’t hear what she was saying. And it was short.Ramon leaned back slowly in his chair, his jaw tight.“What is going on with her?” he muttered under his breath.Just then, the video suddenly stopped playing.He frowned.Though he had instructed Daniel to take the video down, it shouldn’t have been removed that quickly. It would have taken some time.A knock came again at the door.Before he could respond, Daniel walked in quickly.“Sir,” Daniel called slightly out of breath.

Chapter 19: The Truth She Revealed

Ramon stood at the entrance of the mansion with a cold expression on his face. It had already been two hours since he called Kelsey and ordered her to return home, but she still wasn't back. The atmosphere in the house was terrible. His parents and Venus had come immediately after seeing the video online. Everything was messy as they hadn't stopped cursing Kelsey, and that was why he came outside. Yet they still followed him out. “Just look at the disgrace she brought to this family,” Venus said angrily. “People are already dragging the Holloway name online.” Doris scoffed loudly. “I said from the beginning that nothing good comes from that girl.” Ramon loosened his tie tiredly. His head already ached. The video kept replaying in his mind. That woman in the video looked nothing like the Kelsey he knew… or maybe he never really knew her. And worse, his name was now being dragged along with hers. He wondered how people even found out she was his wife. For years, he ha

Chapter 20: The Hidden Payment

Ramon remained standing at the entrance long after Kelsey had walked inside.The evening air felt strangely heavy.Her words kept replaying in his mind.'My father’s bills were only paid for three months.''You abandoned him there to be abused by that caregiver.'Ramon’s brows stayed tightly furrowed. None of it made sense.For years, the hospital expenses had always been deducted monthly from the company account under his authorization. He had personally approved it after Tony Morgan was hospitalized.So how could the payments suddenly stop?Unless…Ramon’s expression darkened immediately at the thought.“No,” he muttered under his breath.Beside him, Doris finally scoffed loudly after recovering from her shock.“Look at the nonsense she is saying just to defend herself,” she snapped angrily.Venus’ hand clenched tightly from hatred after being pushed by Kelsey.“Exactly,” she added bitterly. “She just wants everyone to pity her after disgracing us online.”But Ramon was no longer li
