Patricia impatiently entered the lobby of the apartment building and a security guard stopped her."Can you show me your ID card, Miss?" The security guard asked for a special ID to gain access to the apartment.Patricia couldn't show it because she didn't have one."Who do you want to see?" the security guard then asked."Daniel Anderson."The other security guard tried to check Daniel Anderson's name in his data journal. However, Daniel Anderson's name was not recorded there."There is no one named Daniel Anderson here. Maybe you're wrong.""I'm not wrong.""Can you tell me the floor and apartment number?" The security guard asked again to make sure, but Patricia still couldn't answer.The two security guards glanced at each other and decided not to let Patricia in."Sorry, you are not allowed to enter.""Please let me in, it's important! My future husband is inside and I need to see him." Patricia tried to insist, but the two security guards wouldn't budge."I'm sorry, Miss, it's t
"Daniel, hurry to the hospital. Patricia is unconscious right now."That was the voice of Abraham-Daniel's grandfather who loved Patricia and hoped she would become his granddaughter-in-law. He supported everything Patricia did to get Daniel.He had even helped Patricia implant the seeds of herself and Daniel into Audrey's womb."Unconscious?" Daniel asked nonchalantly. Feeling no longer strange about Patricia's actions on that one.The woman's weapon was always the same. Pretending to be sick and helpless. Daniel had memorized it and was used to it."Yes, you have to get here quickly!" Abraham ordered forcefully."All right, Grandpa," Daniel said with resignation. If his grandfather had spoken, he didn't want to argue. It wasn't that he couldn't, Daniel just still respected him.After that, he disconnected the cell phone and started looking at Audrey again."Don't you want to ask me something?""What for? It's none of my business," Audrey said as she looked away, refusing to meet Dan
Audrey closed her eyes for a moment. As if realizing she was almost carried away, she immediately opened her eyes again."No, go away!" she said firmly, then pushed Daniel's body until the man moved to step back.Audrey left Daniel, then entered the room and locked it from the inside.Audrey leaned her body against the door, she could hear how Daniel's footsteps began to walk away until the sound of the door opening and closing again. That meant Daniel was gone.At that moment, Audrey's body dissolved to the floor, while still leaning against the door.She closed her eyes while holding back feelings that were difficult to define at this time. Daniel's touch and the look in his eyes made Audrey yearn. She fell in front of Daniel. The man was able to destroy her heart that she had previously arranged without the man's presence.And now Audrey began to waver again. Her heart burned as soon as she heard Patricia's name come out of the man's mouth.The woman who was one of the causes of th
Daniel's eyes widened when Patricia mentioned Audrey's name. That means..."Have you met Audrey?"They looked at each other with meaningful eyes. Patricia could not hold back the pain in her heart. Daniel had suddenly broken off their relationship, and it must be because Audrey had seduced him."Yes. We met. And do you know what she said?" Patricia deliberately asked to wait for Daniel's reaction.She could see that he was curious. He raised one of his aliases, and Patricia continued her sentence. "Audrey said that she would take you away from me again. She's a cunning woman. She deceived you by faking her death. Can you still trust her?"Patricia tried to poison Daniel's mind so that he would hate Audrey. That way, Daniel would undo his intention to break up their relationship.Daniel snorted with a sardonic smile. In a way, he already knew how Patricia was. This time he would not be easily deceived."I canceled the engagement, it has nothing to do with Audrey. Even if she doesn't co
Daniel then took a brush from Kenzie's hand. He began to paint the figure of a woman beside Kenzie.Kenzie knitted his eyebrows as he watched Daniel's drawing. It was obvious that the figure did not resemble Patricia. Kenzie knew that very well. Patricia had long hair and wore short clothes, while the character drawn by Daniel had short hair and wore different clothes.Kenzie was even more curious when Daniel wrote the word Mommy above the character."Dad, who is this?" asked Kenzie who couldn't contain his curiosity."Mommy. She's your mom," Daniel replied with a smile.It was about time Kenzie knew who his mother was. All this time Daniel never said anything, especially when Patricia always admitted to Kenzie that she was his mother. Daniel kept quiet because he thought Audrey was gone and Kenzie would never recognize her.But now things are much different, Audrey has returned and Daniel thinks it's time to tell Kenzie about Audrey.Kenzie's eyes rounded in disbelief at what Daniel
"I want Mommy!"Alea continued to whine about being with Audrey. Nicky brought Alea into the room so that she could fall asleep, but instead of falling asleep, Alea continued to cry for Audrey.This was the first time Alea was away from Audrey. She was not used to it, especially since Audrey always read her a fairy tale when she went to bed."Alea, baby, it's late, Mommy will come tomorrow, but now Alea will sleep first."Alea refused to listen and continued to cry for Audrey. Nicky was confused and at a loss."What if Uncle reads a story? Alea loves fairy tales, right?"Nicky quickly took a storybook from Alea's bag. Audrey had brought it to him earlier. She knew Alea's bedtime habit."Here you go." Nicky showed her a storybook.Alea's attention was distracted, and the child looked at the book Nicky was holding. Although her sobs were still audible, they were not as loud as before."You like stories about princes and princesses, right?"Alea nodded through her tears, making the child
The Pearl of Venice, the most special and most beautiful gown in the shop, looks just right on the woman there. It was the dress that chose its owner."The store manager told her employee with a smile on his face.Patricia who heard this felt envious. If there was a special dress there, it should belong to Patricia, not someone else. After all, who was the woman who was said to be so beautiful in that dress?Patricia became curious.She made her way to the other dressing room that the store manager had told her about. Once there, she was surprised to find Audrey wearing a broken white dress.Audrey, who saw Patricia in the mirror, was also surprised to find her there. She reflexively turned her body to face Patricia."You?" asked Patricia in disbelief. She looked at Audrey from head to toe.Patricia admitted that the dress Audrey was wearing was more beautiful than the one she was currently wearing. The dress should have been more appropriate if Patricia was wearing it. Not a subordin
"Why are you so worried about me? Are you afraid that something will happen to me?" said Audrey in a cold and stern voice."You pretended to be dead five years ago and now you're back all of a sudden. How can we not suspect you? If you wanted to avoid Daniel or us, then why are you reappearing now? I'm not sure if you don't have a hidden agenda."Audrey laughed lightly. She couldn't make sense of her parents' nonsense. "Jesus, Dad! How could you say something like that to me? I'm not like you guys who like to play games," Audrey quipped."Watch your mouth, Audrey! Remember who you're talking to!" Bryan snapped angrily."Of course I remember who I'm talking to, the honorable Mr. Bryan Larson," she taunted.Bryan took offense.He seemed to be holding back his emotions. However, Bryan was still holding back because they were in a public place and he didn't want to make a scene.He still had to maintain his good name. Don't let his emotions bring him down too."I know, your presence now i
