Semua Bab Trapped Like A Caged Bird: Bab 1 - Bab 8

Irene Anderson was momentarily stunned before she immediately looked annoyed. “Why are you here over a stupid birthday? This isn’t the right place for your tantrum!”“I’m saying that I want to divorce you,” I repeated.Once she realized that I was not joking, her expression slowly froze. No one at the memorial dared to move. The next second, Irene tugged Zac Reid behind her back and forcefully flung my wedding ring away. She looked as though she understood everything. “Are you using the ring to declare your identity?“I’m only calling Zac that for his dead mother’s sake. Are you really going to be jealous over this?”She always said we had to respect the dead. Every year on my birthday, I did not receive any sunflowers, which were my favorite flowers. Instead, there were a lot of white chrysanthemums. There was not a cake that I would like to eat. Instead, there were fruit baskets meant for the memorial. She never wished me a happy birthday; she would not even grace me wi

The next day, Irene chose a good time to bring Zac to the cemetery to proceed with the move. When I arrived, everyone was looking at me. “Not only is he not able to celebrate his birthday, but he can’t even protect his father’s grave. What an embarrassment of a man!” “Zac is very close with Ms. Anderson in the office. She would give him whatever he wants. We all feel that they’re a match made in heaven!”“Looking at the situation now, I bet Ms. Anderson is going to get a new husband soon.”I could not help but clench my fist. I watched as my father’s grave was being emptied. Zac looked at me smugly and said sarcastically, “Theo, I simply mentioned that I wanted this plot. I didn’t expect Irene to take it seriously! You’re not mad, are you?”He looked kind on the surface, but he was pinching my arm in secret. I let go of my hand in pain. Then, I stared intently at the workers digging my father’s grave. I was afraid that they would inflict damage. When I saw my father’s urn

Irene suddenly sprang up from her seat. “What did you say? A fire?”Her assistant, John Dunne, quickly showed her the video. “Look at the position of the fire; it’s really his mother’s hospital ward. This video is going viral online!”Irene frowned and then sneered. “If it really was on fire, then he would’ve called me! But he has yet to reply to my messages! It seems like his temper is getting worse. He also has yet to apologize onto me; he’s turned into an ungrateful man. Is his current plan trying to fool me with a fake video?”John was a little dumbfounded. However, as he read the comments by the people online, he still could not help but say, “Ms. Anderson, this doesn’t seem fake. How about I go over to have a look? Maybe Mr. Smith is running into some problems.” Irene immediately shot John a dirty look. “If you fetch him back, I bet he’ll act even more outrageously in the future. Let’s forget about it. I’ll see what to do later.” Even though she said that, she was

My heart was thumping furiously after I jumped out of the window of the burning hospital ward. I had promised my father that I would try my best to protect my mother. However, not only had I not managed to protect my mother, but I had also not managed to protect my father’s grave. I turned back and looked at the fire. At least, this fire would reveal the truth about Zac. The hospital fire was sensational news online. All colleagues were attacking Zac for freezing the account on purpose. [How can we keep such a vicious man in our company? This is ruining our company’s reputation!][He looks so kind, but he’s actually so vicious. Mr. Smith’s mother treated him so well when she was alive. How could he do that?] [I didn’t expect him to act so wildly! Ms. Anderson treated him as her good friend, and he misused her authority! He still has to pay for it in the end.]When I called the hospital to retrieve the ashes, they informed me that Irene had taken my mother’s urn. She had bur
