Hailee winced when she heard Ian's question. Yes, she shouldn't be in City A, if things had been good, then Hailee should be in the Northern State. But, unfortunately, not all well-designed plans would end up as expected. "So this is it…" Hailee started telling him what really happened after she left Ian's house going along with her plan to board the plane Ian had ordered for her to the northern states. It was just that, unfortunately Hailee never made it to the airport because Roland Dimatrio's…

"What?!" shrieked Hailee in disbelief. "You're kidding, right? I just finished shopping with your mother!" Hailee raised her head and looked at Ramon who was still busy staring at his laptop screen. "No," he replied simply. "Ah, my leg hurts ..." complained Hailee, she couldn't believe that she had to do this tomorrow with Lexus again. "My body is sore." This time, hearing Hailee continuous complaints, Ramon stopped typing on his laptop and glanced at the girl next to him. Hailee was tilting…

"Inappropriate?"Lis closed her eyes. On the other hand, Ariana who heard Hailee calling Lis with the title 'mother', stared at the two of then shell-shocked. Mom?! What exactly was their relationship ?! Ariana and Elvina were stunned to see the closeness between Hailee and Lis. Not only that, Margaretha also raised her eyebrows questioningly. "Lis, is this the girl you told me about?" Margaretha asked her old friend. "Yes, she is the one I told you about," Lis replied firmly, but from the…

Hailee didn't intend to push Ariana to her fall in a completely unkind position and embarrass her any further, therefore, after she pushed her, Hailee quickly grabbed Ariana's hand to save her. She grabbed Ariana's wrists and shoulders to help her stand up and balance her footing on her ridiculous high heels. "Are you okay?" Hailee asked in a relaxed tone. Of course Hailee's question was full of mockery. How could she ask if Ariana was okay after she tried to push her and then save her, as if…

"You do not know who I am?" this time it was Hailee who asked this million-dollar question. What irony! Elvina became confused when she heard Hailee's question. Who is she? Elvina thought, looking back at Hailee more closely. However, she wasn't sure she had seen this girl before nor did she remember seeing her in the media or at parties to which Mrs. Lamos asked her to attend. Knowing her customers and their backgrounds was one of Elvina's duties, because she must be able to behave properly in…

In front of Hailee was a young woman with skin as white as milk, wearing a short yellow skirt and a matching blazer, not only that, from one glance at all the accessories she donned, Hailee could tell that this young woman was a daughter of one of the famous businessman elites in this city A. But, of course, the way this woman talked and how she looked down on other people, was just beyond annoying. "What did you say?" the woman said removing the sunglasses studded with diamonds on the frame off her…

During the trip, Hailee was mostly silent, thinking about the course of action she should take next and what to say as she had to explain her lies in front of the members of the Tordoff family. Hailee glanced next to her, where Lis was receiving a call regarding an important business and looked very stern, but at the same time elegant in every word she chooses. Ugh! People who were good at controlling emotions like her were, in fact, much more terrifying than those who scream out of rage.…

Hailee gasped when she saw the news about Roland Dimatrio appearing on the television screen, how come? This was the man who led her into a complicated life, plunged Hailee into the bottomless abyss, and count God-knows what left of this ever-ticking time bomb; her 'lie' to the Tordoffs. However, that was not what dumbfounded Hailee thoroughly to the point that she forgot what she was supposed to do, the thing that made the girl with her shoulder-length black hair startled was; the fact that Roland…

In the days that followed, Ramon stopped bothering Hailee with questions about her past and often stayed at the office more, finishing business proposals and catching up with the memory of the four years he had lost. Ramon was too busy to have time for Hailee, but that didn't mean the girl could casually enjoy the time and plan her escape plans. On the contrary…Hailee was preoccupied with their wedding plans, which, she didn't want at all but, had no reason to refuse. It's not that Hailee wasn't…

Ramon looked at Hailee with a calm expression, but his next words made Hailee a little anxious. "Tell me about your family." "My family?" Hailee could feel her heart skip a beat and the intonation of her voice risen involuntarily. "What's wrong with my family?" "You said it yourself, didn't you, if we could slowly get to know each other again, then this marriage would be more meaningful. Therefore, let's start with your family first," Ramon said in his voice that sounded a little hoarse. This was…
