Edward never realised that a decision to divorce would make him realise the love he has for his wife. When he wanted her back, he was presented with her burned corpse and a piece of her, their daughter. Losing his wife, he lost the colour of life and lived for his daughter only, accepting the punishment that fate had chosen for him. Five years later, he visited Italy to celebrate his daughter's birthday. But the little girl stopped and pointed her finger at a woman, "Look Papa, I found Mommy!" Was it truly her mother? If she is, where she disappeared 5 years ago? Worst, why did the woman look at them strangely?
View MoreCATHERINE ... "Ma'am, you are very famous among general people, including Elder Reinford because of your kindness and continuous charity." Our advocate Mr Wilson said. He was one the powerful and worthy advocates who worked with Roullard, also Dad's friend. So his advice would be much more positive and sensible, unlike Advocate Shane. I nodded, "Yes, I was involved quite much with Grandpa." I agreed, recalling those days although I don't know what benefit it would bring now. "Yes, and after your death announcement, people were so mortified and sad. You might not know but they had prayed for you for a very long time." He added. "Since then your husband, Edward has always done the charity in your name. People accepted it and they had a good overview of it." "Hmm, I have heard about it." "If I am not wrong, you have started your charity once you're back again. People accepted you wholeheartedly and even prayed for your family's safety... This is low-key a big achievement over the ye
EDWARD ... "The next thing is to do a formal apology in public, accepting all blame. The apology should be heartfelt, and a promise to take care of all those who had suffered in the accident." Advocate Shane spoke as I stared at him. "Then we will release fresh news of what happened to your wife and your lost child. This way, the public will start sympathizing with you and your family while moving on from this scandalous accident on the site... What do you think, Mr Reinford?" "Well, you're practically asking me to accept what I never did intentionally and then drag my wife and child into this mess?" I asked calmly even though I wasn't calm at all. He nodded with pride. "I really don't have any idea how Grandpa hired a pathetic jerk like you." "Excuse me?" "Yeah, you heard it right. And before I smack your head into this closed wall... Leave." I clenched my fists, trying to control myself. Thus fucking proud bustard was asking me to trade my years of dignity and my precious fami
CATHERINE ... "Catherine, is there anything wrong going on? I mean, Is stress catching you up or something?" Roullard's family doctor, Dr Helena asked while sitting in her chair behind the desk. She sounded concerned and if I wasn't entirely wrong, it was because of my blood test report I just did this morning in the first thing. Sigh... "What is the report, doctor?" She watched me with her usual concerned eyes and then at the report. "Catherine, your report says you had taken a heavy dose of drug. It's not just a drug but a rare one which does not only lighten people's heads but a huge dose could stir people's hunger in sexual needs." "I see..." I muttered and heard her helpless sigh. "And by your report, you did take a heavy dose which is pretty much normal with the sitting problem you're facing right now. If my study is proper, you had a very wild night yesterday, hadn't you?" Okay, that was embarrassing. She was right. Last night was so wild and right now I was so sore from
JAYDEN ... Storming in my apartment I throw away everything from my table. Rage was boiling in me! I had this one chance to have her fully as mine and that bloody Reinford had to ruin it again! Edward Fucking Reinford! He always had to ruin every Fucking plan of mine! I opened a wine bottle and gulped down almost half of it, hurting my throat on the way and I do not fucking care! I needed a distraction! Fuck! Taking another bottle of wine I straight went to my room and entered the private room attached to it. It's a secret room where all I keep my memories... Catherine. She was the only memory I have cherished my entire Fucking life! I looked around all her photos of daily life. Those one-time glasses that she used and her lipstick stain there. Her red scarf that she thought she lost in college, I took it. I picked up the red scarf and smelled it. My heart soothed and my body tightened. She smells so good. I thought about how she smelled today. So enchanting and exquisite. But...
CATHERINE ... The time at the banquet was good and busy. People now talked to me differently. In the past, I have faced mockery in many ways. After all, a nobody orphan became the wife of the only heir of R.Ford. And of course, Vignette made it a huge issue for me to suffer. However, the moment my true identity was declared, people stopped. Some even couldn't hide their fear after learning who I am. Perhaps, recalled those insults in the past. Envious eyes and jealous stares only but no bitter words crossed my way but congratulations and blessings. It was a hard revenge though, they did not like me at all but now they had to say pleasing words to me. Well, power is a savage thing in this world. However, I have never misused it to hurt anyone and I never intend to do it in the future either. People started loosening up and eventually, I got time to rest my feet in a corner. I sat at one side, feeling thirsty. Except for champagne and alcoholic drinks, we also maintained soft drinks
CATHERINE ... The meeting with Mr Wyatt went exceptionally well. I was in a very happy mood on my way home. Going back to Oakenhold mansion as Dad and Steven found their old-time joy in traveling the world. All of us were so happy for them. As soon as I entered home I found Dad and Steven in the hall playing with their granddaughter. "Hey guys, good to see you back." I greeted them and hugged them both. "Yeah, we just returned," Steven said. "Half boiled? Yeah." Honestly, they actually looked like two boiled old man! God knows just how much they showered in the sun! "Oh, come on, it's a fashion." Steven defended, "What you young people say tanned! Don't you think so?" "Yeah, sure... So, how's your travel going?" "It was amazing actually. We even have..." Steven tried to say something but Dad's glance stopped him. It seemed they were hiding something. Well, as much as curious I was I decided not to meddle in two friends' private affairs. Dad cleared his throat, "so, I have an
CATHERINE ... "Why is the project not ready yet?" I asked, annoyed. "It should have been done by today!" "There was a technical difficulty, ma'am. It was solved already and the project will be ready in three days." The project manager said, making me more annoyed. "I need it the first thing tomorrow in the morning! If you can't you can leave!" He lowered his head, startled. "Yes, ma'am." "Leave!" I almost yelled as he rushed out hastily. "Fuck!" I slammed all the files on the desk. Since Dad left everything to me, I tried my best to not be harsh with them. But these people did not leave a chance to take advantage of my kindness! Now I relaised why heads and directors were always harsh and lived in a serious mood! I rubbed my temple and asked my assistant for a green tea. Soon she walked in with a cup of green tea and placed it on my desk before started briefing my schedule. "A meeting about our new project in Spain and a business dinner with Mr. Wyatte for a new partnership i
CATHERINE ... I entered our room in Greenhill Mansion. For the last three days, we have been staying here with Steven and May. Jayden too comes in the evening and spends a few hours before leaving. Last three days, I did not feel any discomfort from him. It seemed he was concentrating on his girlfriend more which made me happy. Could it be I was wrong about him and was trying to solve a puzzle that only existed in my head? I discussed his behaviour with Liam who kept his eyes on him always and returned with no flaws. Perhaps, we were wrong and it couldn't make me happier. Edward was trying his best to not break in front of his family. Although at night he cried in my arms which made me feel both sad and happy. At least, I was successful in giving him security to reveal his true self to me. Steven was still in regret and Dad was trying his best to become a friend in his grieving times. Some things only Could be shared with friends who had the same level of sorrow more or less. Sig
CATHERINE ... "Where is Della?" May asked slowly as I held the spoonful of soup to her mouth. "She is safe and fine. Don't worry about her and take this." I assured her. "You did not eat anything since last night." May sighed slowly before parting her lips and drinking soup. She holds my hand. Her lips wobbled and she cried again. "M-om..." She choked on her breath. Keeping the tray aside I hugged her and let her cry. Her wound was scarier than mine. Yes, I did lose my mother but at least I have got to know her. However, this poor girl suddenly found out that all her belief was a lie. I watched my husband from the other side. It's the same for him. And Steven, Poor man. He kept Sighing day and night and blamed himself for not recognizing his wife. That woman not only deceived them but broke their self-esteem and faith. "Catherine?" May called. "Yes?" "I want to see Della. Perhaps spending time with her would help me." She requested and I caressed her head. "Hmm, I will send
