Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 121 - チャプター 130

Trisha was not going to go down without a fight. After weeks of trying to call Asher to no avail, she eventually got released from the hospital. She was not even relieved about the news that she was okay and there were no technical or complicated issues from the accident. Trisha did not give a shit about that. What she cared about was the fact that Asher was not talking to her. He was not picking her calls, nor was he responding to her text messages. There had to be a reason for that, and Trisha needed to know what it was. The moment she got discharged from the hospital, she did not go straight home. Her car seemed to have been destroyed in the accident, so she took a cab and went straight down to Asher’s company. If he was not going to pick her calls and tell her what she did to deserve such treatment from him, then she would go to him. The cab dropped her in front of the company within a few minutes, and Trisha stormed into the building. She

“I am so sorry for your loss, sweetheart. Your mother was a good woman.”“A woman with morals. She always knew the right thing to say, the right thing to do.”“She was so kind, so soft hearted.”“She had the brightest smile.”“You poor girl. How are you going to cope without her?”“Who is going to wave at me from the window whenever I go out for a run now? I always looked forward to that. It was one of the highlights of my morning run.”“I am so sorry, Nicole. I am so very sorry.”“You must be so heartbroken.”“You look so much like her. I haven’t seen you since you were a baby. Who knew our next meeting would be like this?”“She was the best neighbour anyone could ever ask for.”“And she wasn’t even that old. Death is so… unexpected. She was the last person I expected to die.”Every single person who attended her mother’s funeral had good things to say about her. Her neighbours. Her f

“Nicole, sweetie. You need to wake up and stop making me worried, okay? I promise you, I am fine. I am in a good place now, and I understand that you are sad about my death. I get you, baby. I really do. But I will always remain in your heart. You need to remember that I am always going to be with you for as long as you want. And you need to stop blaming yourself for my death, okay? You did nothing wrong. Nothing at all. So stand up, my baby. The world is waiting for you to take a breath. Stand up, and make me proud. You still have a long way to go. Live your life to the fullest, my daughter.”“I dreamt about my mother today,” Nicole said to William. They were lying in bed, and he was massaging her legs. At her words though, he stopped what he was doing and gave her his full attention. “Really? Was it a good one?” he asked. Nicole remained silent for a while, her eyes glazed over as she remembered her mother’s words. And even though it was just a dream, even thoug

Zara stood on shaky feet to meet Asher's gaze. “Asher. It's not what you think. I don't…I didn't…” What the hell was she supposed to say? She had no words to defend herself, and the more time dragged by, the more Zara realised that she didn't want to defend herself at all. Why should she have to apologise? They were the ones in the wrong, they were the ones who didn't respect her. Hell, here she was standing before her husband and his mistress. Trisha was nothing but a home wrecker, yet Zara was supposed to be the one to apologise?What the hell?Anger rose very swiftly in her chest as she stared at them, and the longer silence stretched between them, the angrier Zara became. Trisha, who had been expecting some sort of outburst from the woman, frowned when Zara said nothing. “What do you have to say for yourself? I have the voice recording of you admitting to the crime, so don't even think about wanting to

The text was from William, and what he sent to Nicole was to ask if she was done and if she wanted him to pick her up. Zara didn't know that though. Her mind went off the rails at Nicole's expression, and it didn't help that the other woman's statement could be classified as misleading. Her heart panged in her chest at the thought of what the text could possibly be.Was the text from Trisha? It made no sense, but Zara wasn't willing to underestimate or overestimate anything and anyone. Nicole, who wasn't in the mood to listen to Zara grovel, didn't let up that the text she got had nothing to do with Zara. Instead, she crossed her arms over her chest and leaned back on her chair. "I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do to help you. Asher is my past, and that is where he will remain forever. I don't give a shit about you either. Whatever he does to you or in the marriage is yours to deal with, not mine. It's none of my damn business.
