A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1
The former top heiress of North City was getting married, despite her reputation that was left in tatters for her alleged debauchery. Naturally, high society was left in an uproar once word got out. … Cordy Sachs, who was dressed in a Franconia designer wedding dress, was looking at the reflection of her dazzling, beautiful face in the mirror.After dating Kyle Jessop for three years, they were finally tying the knot—he still loved her even though everyone was trying to put her down.Smiling expectantly with tears welling in her eyes, she reared her chin slightly as she lifted her skirt and started toward the door… only for rolling wisps of smoke to seep through the slit around the door, creeping into the washroom impatiently as if looking for an outlet.A fire?! Cordy's face fell. Pinching her nose as she stepped outside, she found the banquet hall that had been exceedingly lively a second ago now empty.There was only the thick smoke and fire that seemed bent on consuming

Cordy turned toward the voice to find a boy who looked around five years old standing at the door of her ward. He was dressed in a patient's garb like her, and his little face was so beautiful one could not take their eyes off him.At the same time, Cordy's heart skipped a beat. She felt as if she was tugged somewhere in her body, but she could not quite describe it.The boy then ran up to her bed and climbed up to it on his little feet without a pause, snuggling up to her and hugging her with his soft, little body. "Were you bullied, Mommy?"He then released her and carefully wiped her tears with his stubby hands.Cordy realized then that her tears were leaking from sheer frustration, and her heart almost melted from the boy's comfort.Even so, she was still positive that she did not know him.Smiling and tousling the boy's smooth curly hair, she spoke with unexpected mildness. "You have the wrong person, kid.""No, you're my mommy. Daddy and I will protect you from now on." Th

Cordy was glaring coldly at Kyle. She was certainly disenchanted with him after he abandoned her to save Noel. However, forgiveness notwithstanding, she could afford to listen to an explanation because they had been together for three years. And yet, she felt that asking for one would only demean herself.On the other hand, Kyle turned to look at the other man and paused because he was too good-looking. Kyle soon recognized him as one of the firefighters who had rushed into the hotel last night and saved Cordy. Still, he did not see his face clearly at the time and merely found his stature towering. That was when Cordy said, "Let's break up, Kyle."Kyle actually felt an aching over his chest as she declared the end of their three-year relationship, and he wheeled on her with a look of disbelief.Overwhelmed with rage, he bellowed as he pointed at the other man, "Do you even know who he is, Cordy Sachs?! He's just a firefighter! You're dumping me for the likes of him?!"John's

Kyle headed to Sachs Mansion after leaving the hospital, with Simon Sachs asking him urgently, "Did Cordy agree to annul your engagement with her?" Kyle shook his head, his eyes fixed on the adorable yet docile Noel Sachs as he said mildly, "We've broken up. The annulment would just be a matter of time. Sorry to keep you waiting again, Noel.""No, it's alright." Noel shook her head, her eyes twinkling with tenderness. "I'll be happy as long as I'm with you, Kyle."Kyle's heart certainly turned mush from her gentle nature—he was right to choose her!Still, he restrained himself and said, "I was just going to visit Cordy, but she was with another man—that firefighter from last night.""Old habits die hard, huh? You should have dumped her from the start! She doesn't deserve you!" Simon snapped shortly. Kyle nodded—Cordy was certainly too filthy! "Honestly, let's not bother with her already. She can do whatever she likes—I'll just pretend I never had such a shameless daughter!" S

John spoke up just then, alleviating the awkwardness. "Dicky waited for you for over an hour. He usually naps earlier."Cordy's heart skipped a beat, but she pursed her lips and said, "Actually, Mr. Levine, you could've just explained that I'm not his mommy."John simply watched her with his black eyes quietly then, and the sudden silence left Cordy wondering if she had misspoken.Still, she did not dwell on it and continued, "The fire was just an accident anyway. You didn't have to bring me lunch or have those maids take care of me. And how much for the phone? I'll wire the money to you.""I thought you were smart, Ms. Sachs."Cordy was at a loss. Was there anything about her that made her look stupid?!"Dicky needs a mommy," John continued in his alluring voice, as if it was only natural."So?" Cordy raised a brow.John simply kept his dark eyes fixed on her for a long while.After the pause, his pitch seemed to deepen. "And he likes you. So you might be able to tell that

"Of course!" Cordy certainly came to like Richard a lot after spending a week with the boy. "I've left you my number, so call me anytime you miss me. I'll even come to meet you when I'm free.""Liar, liar, pants on fire…" Cordy dropped to a crouch then, which took her considerable exertion.Nearby, the nonexistent man was left frowning as she tenderly tousled Richard's hair from the same height as the latter. "Yes, pants on fire."Richard beamed adorably then and gave her a peck on the cheek.The nonexistent man frowned even harder then."I have to go now," Cordy told Richard with a tender look."Okay, Mommy. Don't run, or you might fall," Richard called after her sweetly—the boy simply refused to stop calling her that even after a week. When Cordy tried to, Richard would become alarmed, thinking that she was abandoning him, his little eyes turning red and welling with tears from misery. It certainly stopped Cordy from being stubborn—the boy would get it when he was older

The vast meeting was filled with Starstream Group key executives, and Noel was standing on the podium.She was about to speak as she assumed the post of CEO when she suddenly noticed Cordy standing at the door, and she froze.Simon, who was seated in the middle of the front row, turned around to look when he saw the weird look in Noel's eyes. He glowered the instant he saw Cordy and sprang to his feet, storming toward Cordy with a look of disgust and contempt as everyone else looked on. "What are you doing here?!""This is my mother's company. Is there a problem?" Cordy asked in return.She was calm but no less imposing, and she was certainly not cowed by Simon."I don't want to argue right now," Simon snapped impatiently. "Get out of here right now—I don't have time to waste on you today. Whatever it is, you can tell me later!"However, Cordy shared the same sentiment and simply walked straight into the conference room.Noel watched as she did so, her eyes flashing dangerousl

As John's eyes twitched, Randy continued, "Noel Sachs was supposed to be appointed as CEO, but was left downtrodden after Ms. Sachs crashed her party. I wonder if things would go smoothly for Ms. Sachs after she took over, however, since Simon Sachs and Noel were in charge all this while."Randy then noticed his boss tapping his long fingers on his desk intermittently.Cordy must be special to him, or he would not have risked his life to save her from the fire. However, John had always been distant toward women, but that somehow changed right after he returned to North City.Still, Randy would never dare to pry into his boss's private affairs, and he simply stuck with the man's preferences. "Should I try to smooth things out for her quietly, sir?" John was quiet for a movement. "She went in alone and managed to claim ownership over the entire company. That means she knows what she's doing—that means we should trust her.""Of course, sir," Randy replied respectfully.He thought
