Chapter 101
"Bethany. It's time." Irwin's deep voice came tearing through the door. Not even the thick door could filter the reverb of his voice. "Oh shit!" Bethany didn't know what to do with herself. She suddenly became panicky and clueless. Yet she couldn't help herself make a decision. "What are you talking about?" She turned her attention to Riri. "Are you pulling my legs right now? You don't want to do that.""Why does it sound like you are threatening me?" Riri sounded clueless."Sorry." Bethany shook her head for a moment, shutting her eyes perhaps it would help her concentrate. "Are you for real that today is his birthday?""On my life." Riri swore. "If not, why would I have spent all the night up trying to decided what letter to write and pair with the gift?"Riri stood up and went to grab a box. Inside the box, there were several rumples of papers that she had wasted when trying to write the perfect letter for the portrait. "I'd be damned." Bethany didn't know what to do with hersel
Chapter 102
Bethany was driving Irwin away from the properties of the President. She was seething in unspoken rage as her palm stiffened about the wheel of the car.Irwin was seated at the back, seemingly not aware of the reactions of Bethany. He was lost in thoughts, thinking about what the President had called him for. The President had asked him about the pattern of his killing process that was consistent with the likes of Thorne and then Jaja. It was an unusual means of death-craft that no one had ever recorded in the history of the country, not even the continent. Irwin himself has been concerned about this pattern, too. Unlike the president who was clueless and thought that he had resorted to displaying a new skill because of the nature of the task, Irwin knew what activated that pattern. In the past, he had decided to put off the urge of going to seek more knowledge regarding the Rose Lily painting because of the task at hand and the revenge burning deep in him; he had been busy schemi
CHAPTER 103
"Huh?" Bethany thought she heard wrongly. Until she looked at Irwin's face. Seeing the resolve on his face, she was convinced that he meant what he had said. "I brought you here, Bethany. Whatever you want, go ahead and pick. You've been very helpful to me regardless of your own personal business." Irwin stressed. Bethany was smitten to the core of her being. A part of her didn't want to believe that the cold and detached Irwin Buckham was the same person adorning her in praises. She pinched herself a little on the cheek to tell whether or not it was real. The pain the traveled to her brain proved to her that she was in her right senses. "It's real." She muttered. Irwin turned away from her with a smile, looking across the several aisles of different brands of clothes. It was a spree of brands in the mall. There was no brand anyone was looking for in this world that wasn't in the mall. Ranging from hardly known brands to the most popular. Even to the super expensive and classy on
CHAPTER 104
The recent remark of the sales agent set something lose in Bethany's head and she was about to explode when the sudden voice interrupted. She quickly looked away from the sales agent to the owner of the voice which sounded too familiar for a strange person. And there standing with head slightly bowing was Irwin Buckham. "What!" Bethany's mouth was faster than her brain and she couldn't even think of any better reaction to what was happening. Irwin Buckham had just called her his boss out of nowhere and was slightly bowing to her. What was this? Bethany wished there was an explanation for it. "I stepped out for a minute to park the car in the right spot. The security man called me to that effect." Irwin added, still not lifting his head. Bethany knew for a fact that he was lying. The security man whom they saw earlier would never have asked him to go park the car well. In fact, if there was anything that the security man would do, it would be to worship Irwin continously. Yet, Ir
Chapter 105
"Who the hell do you think you are?" The sales agent kept raging, imposing herself in front of Irwin. "How dare you interrupt the business done between important people? You common slave!!!"The entire place reverberated with shock. Not only was the sales agent brazen, but she looked to have been seeking for an excuse to make Irwin eat his words. And that was her perfect opportunity. "Why are you looking at me like that? Should I slap you the second time?" She raised her hand to go again. Suddenly, a sudden force gripped her hair from behind. The grip was so firm and hard that the scalp of the sales agent felt like it would pull out of place. It hurts really bad. "Ow!" She groaned, trying to understand what was happening to her. Before she got to look, the force spun her around and now she was facing the person who had gripped the bun of her hair, loosing it at the ferocious pull. "Lady Phoenix?" She gasped, trying to distract the pain with reason. "You fucking bitch!!" Bethany
Chapter 106
"Huh?" Bethany thought for a moment that her ears were playing tricks on her. Looking at the expression on the face of the lady in front of her, she didn't need a soothsayer to tell her that it wasn't meant to be a prank. "What do you mean by borrow him?" Bethany's face scowled. Perhaps she was reading a wrong meaning to it. "Forgive me." El Roi said. "Perhaps I didn't explain myself in detail, hence the confusion."Bethany wanted to take that as a good sign but she refused to let her guard down. Just by standing in front of her, El Roi was already annoying to her. She knew girls like El Roi. El Roi was dressed in a bikini. Her breasts were rounder and fuller compared to Bethany's. The long white net she wore over the bikini proved useless in concealing her perfect shape. Girls like these love to intimidate people with their looks. Talk much more of El Roi. Bethany knew her. She was the biggest sensation, not only in the country but in some big parts of the continent. At sixteen,
Chapter 107
Strangely, Irwin Buckham found El Roi very interesting. Aside from the obvious flaw of her arrogance which was identical with ladies like her, including Bethany, there was a spark from her. This must be what made her stand out in her acting career. "Take that back!" Bethany warned, stepping into her face. "If you don't want me to get physical with you!"Bethany was now in her face as though she was seeking for an embrace. El Roi took a glance for a moment but looked away, emphasizing that she was only interested in Irwin. "I don't get why you are acting this way." El Roi continued. "You are acting like a possessive wife who is not only controlling, but scared to lose her husband because she knows that safe for her lunatic tendencies, the man would run for his life!""You!" Bethany had a million words to add but the rage stifled them. "If you have been a good person to him, he would have no choice but to respect you. Even if I offer him a billion dollars, he would not leave your sid
Chapter 108
There were a couple of Irwin's words that she wanted to hold on to, but there was this particular sentence that was stronger and more compelling compared to the rest. "We won't meet again?" Bethany asked, her face fallen and swollen with sadness. Irwin gazed at her. The sincerity in her eyes whenever she looked at him was so rich and kind. Only if his former wife felt this way about him and loved him sincerely, perhaps he would have been the happiest man on earth. Thinking of it for another few seconds. If he was a nobody or just a random person, Bethany Colwill wouldn't have been drawn to him, either. She was drawn to him because there was something she saw and could gain. He was a diplomatic person who believed that nothing goes for nothing in this world. To find someone who would selflessly slave away for you means to meet an angel who had missed his way to earth. He wasn't judgemental of Bethany. Instead he was appreciative of her. There were people who couldn't take half of
CHAPTER 109
"Huh?" Bethany quizzed. "You are about to make me go crazy right now."There was a subtle smile tugging at the corner of Irwin's lips. "Why are you smiling? It's not even funny. You are saying things that will keep me up for a whole month. Do you want me to turn into a sleepless monster?"Irwin's face broadened with the smile, reaching to the other corner of the lips. For a moment, Bethany was convinced to believe that he was only messing with her. "I didn't know that you could joke that much." She decided to discard the thoughts. "For a minute, I thought you were serious.""Who says I'm not." Irwin replied. Bethany's lips moved in swift response but somehow, words didn't follow. She seized that opportunity to put her thoughts together before giving a reply. "Please, Supreme Commander. Can you please stop joking around and tell me what you really mean?" Her eyes held a considerable amount of desperation.Suddenly, her expression changed. She seemed to have come to a realization. S

"Hello?" Isabella Rolan was in the middle of a mess when she received that call. "Are you there?"No matter the number of times she asked the question, there was no reply from the other end. The call has been dropped. "What the hell." She was clueless, staring at the phone as though it was some magic wand. "Was that really Bethany Colwill?"Even after everything that had happened, she had never for once thought of erasing Bethany's contact from her phone. In fact, there was no day that she hadn't tried to get a call across to Bethany to no avail. The call was always redirected to voicemail. But all of a sudden, Bethany Colwill had just called her asking to meet at Edgar's right now? What could this possibly be about?"Miss Isabella?" Jessica came walking to her with a staircase of files on her hands. "I'm sorry but it didn't go well.""Did that old fool return the files?" Isabella's brows furrowed in rage. "After what my father did for him? Is he really going to turn his back on us
