Unfortunately, the driver was driving at a reckless pace and was unable to stop in time. When he did, they had already arrived at their mansion's entrance.Lucinda sighed and cast a backward glance in the direction of the girl.Perhaps she was hallucinating? She gave a small head shake and nervously entered the Gonzalez estate. She anticipated seeing her mother in the existing room, keeping an eye on what was happening upstairs with Lenora and Frederick.It was absolutely different from that, though. The house was in disarray!Maids running up and down as if in search of something. “Mom?” she called out upon glimpsing Priscilla on the stairs.“Lucy, come here quickly.”Frowning, she went up only to halt at once when she saw Frederick lying cold on the ground. “Do you think he's dead? That bitch did this!”With a panicked expression, Lucinda went to check her pulse breathing a sigh of relief seconds later. “He's alive. The old fools just passed out. Where is Lenora?”She ran away! I
“You shameless perv!! I should have known you'll try to take advantage of me!”Preston's eyes danced with amusement at her words. He raised his hands and flicked his fingers across her forehead. “What are you thinking?”“What? What do expect me to think?!” she retorted, gripping the towel more tightly. Is he really taking advantage of the circumstance while inventing absurd justifications for what others may say?He walked her up to the massage table and gave it a tap while rolling his eyes. "Remove it, then lie down. The fact that I'm about to give you a massage should make you feel honoured, he said, pointing to his hands. These are worth more than you can imagine, and I'm giving up their million-dollar value for you. Tell me wifey, are you touched?”Touched? Lenora snorted.That was the most absurd thing she has ever heard. Of course, she was embarrassed that she misinterpreted his words earlier but instead of dwelling on it, she decided to play along. “Oh, sorry dear husband. I'
“Good morning, wifey!”Lenora was still asleep, but the moment she heard Preston's voice, her eyes sprung open.Imagine her shock when discovered him lying so close to her, staring down at her with a hint of a smile playing on his lips. Her pupils shrunk.She knows that looks, it means her husband is in a good mood. She has seen that in his eyes when she signed the marriage contract at the civil bureau centre. The question is... why is he in the good mood? Because it can never be a good thing for her.Then it dawned on her!She quickly grabbed the duvet cover and looked inside. Seeing that she was putting on sexy nightwear, her eyes flew to Preston's at once.“You! Did you...” she pointed at her body, “did we..?” Her face turned pink at the thought of voicing it out.Preston smirked. “Honey, what are you trying to say?"Upon seeing Lenora's glare he drew nearer and whispered, “Did we f*ck? Is that what you trying to say, hmm? Wife?”In seconds, Lenora was in front of him, clamping
Click! Click! Click! The pitch sound of a spoon hitting on a glass reverberated through the room, drawing everyone's attention to a stunning and elegant young woman in her early twenties holding a cup. Her wavy almond hair hung loosely behind her neck whilst her features were delicate and enchanting. Every pore in her body exuded an air that set her different from anyone else in the room. It was none other than the Young Heiress of the Gonzalez family, Lenora Paige.She flashed a charming grin melting practically every man's heart standing in the hall, "Everyone, sorry to disturb your lovely evening but I've got an important announcement to make."She didn't seem shocked when she noticed her grandfather's death gaze as her eyes swept the gathering. Nor the fact that her dearest older brother was calling for security to remove her from the stage. Humph!They care about reputation, don't they? She will destroy precisely what they value."I'm going to make this toast to my grandfather
Cursing at herself, she dived toward her phone with a panicked expression. The fact that she caught the sight of blood on the bed made her feel worse than she already did. Damn it! She fell for Lucy's plan which wouldn't end well.As she walked toward her bag, Lenora frowned when she didn't feel any discomfort between her legs making her blink. She simultaneously bent down to glance between her legs even if its a weird thing to do but she couldn't help but wonder...Shouldn't I feel sore or anything if something happened last night? But then again, how will she explain the blood stains on the bed? It can't be that the faceless man orchestrated the whole thing to make it appear as though they slept together just so he could take photos, can it?A shrill call from her phone snapped her out of it which caused her to reach for her bags. She quickly saw dozens of messages from her family and coworkers, as well as hundreds of other messages. As a smart lady, Lenora could already guess wh
“I'm so sorry. So sorry... I,” In her haste, Lenora attempted to stand up, but as her hair caught on his button, she screamed. “Aw!”She cast an apologetic glance at him while struggling to undo the hair. However, she had to open his button to do that, without thinking, she did so and became even more flustered when her hand brushed against the fair smooth skin underneath the dirty coat he had on.The beggar cleared his throat causing her head to snap to his. Her face flushed with embarrassment. Quickly removing her hair, she stood away from his body. "Again, thank you."He said, reaching to take up her purse, "You should watch where you are going pretty missy."For some unknown reason, Lenora found herself blushing at that. Pretty? Some onlookers noticed her and started reaching for their phones just before he handed her the bag. “Are you Miss Lenora?”“What? Lenora Paige?”"Are you certain that she is the one? Given her attire, I nearly didn't recognize her.”“Oh my God, how is it
The next morning, Lenora was awoken by the constant ding of her phone. Groaning, she got up from the bed to grab her phone. Yeah, her assistant had managed to get a room for her in a cheap hotel under another name. Upon glancing at her phone, she jolted out from the bed seeing her account balance. What the heck?! It was at zero!Hold on a minute... She did a double check and then...100,000 for one pant? Her jaw dropped when she saw the absurd expenses he made. That's right, it was from her personal account, the card she gave out to Preston! 500,000 donated to the orphanage — well, she shouldn't be mad that he was giving out money to the needy, she does that too but why? Why now?It was after she lodged into the hotel she realized that the Gonzalez family had frozen all her accounts! While her last savings were the ones she gave out to Preston! Digging her fingers into her hair, Lenora felt like she was going to lose it anytime soon. She forced herself to keep reading the bills. A
It wasn't only the crowd that was stunned. Even Lenora herself froze as she did a double take on Preston.What the hell!!For a minute, no one moved, everyone stared at the man, dumbstruck like they couldn't believe their eyes. Naturally, everyone was anticipating seeing a magnificent Young Master, one whose reputation is on par with the Gonzalez heiress, but that wasn't it. Not in the least.Instead, it was a man wearing rags as clothes that were ripped, not to mention his face! How ugly he looked... Because the stench emanating from him made them so sick, they covered their noses. It appeared as though he had showered in a puddle of rat faeces.Lenora bit her cheeks inwardly as she cuss at him. Looks like her fiancee plan on going against her in everyway. Who would have imagined that he wouldn't make any effort to clean up after she instructed him to look as plain as possible? Then, what did he use her money for?“Hubby! Why didn't you do as I instructed and wash up? But it's okay,
