Chapter 2 The staff member went on patiently, "Our records show you were married to Oliver Calbeck about a month ago." Angelina took a step back, struggling to keep herself upright. Oliver... wasn't he the servant from Charlene's family? A month ago, Zayden suggested buying a villa for Angelina. At that moment, Angelina thought he had finally figured it out, so she happily handed over her ID to him. Not paying any attention to her friend's puzzled look, Angelina grabbed her ID and headed straight to Zayden's com- pany. She was determined to get some answers. She needed to figure out what Zayden really meant by all this. But as soon as she walked into the company, there was nobody around. Zayden, known for being a total workaholic, wasn't in his office. His assistant told her that the CEO had gone to the hospital. When Angelina arrived at the hospital, she was stopped right away. "I'm sorry, but this area is completely booked by Mr. Darvold." From a distance, she saw Zayden carrying another woman inside. The security guards quickly pushed Angelina aside to let them through. Charlene leaned softly on Zayden's shoulder, looking a bit pale. "Am I too heavy? Can you put me down, please?" "You're not heavy at all. I'm just worried that if I hold you too lightly, I might drop you. If I hold you too tightly, it could hurt." This scene hit Angelina hard. It felt like a giant rock was sitting on her chest, making it hard to breathe. Throughout her whole school life, it was these hands that held hers and never let go. When she faced harassment while studying abroad, these hands stood in front of her to keep her safe from harm. During that car accident on their road trip, these same hands pushed her out of the car first. He ignored his own in- juries and begged the doctors to save her before him. But now, these very hands were gently holding another woman. "Mr. Darvold really spoils his wife. She just sprained her ankle and he booked the whole hospital for her." "Of course! Everyone knows how lovey-dovey Mr. Darvold and his wife are together. Who wouldn't want a 0.0 % 08:50 Chapter C. ZODIVOUCHE boyfriend like that?" Angelina was standing in the corner, listening to what they were saying. She tried to smile, but nothing came out. That so-called good guy had already betrayed her without her even realizing it. Zayden didn't see Angelina over there in the corner. After he carried Charlene into the room and got her settled, he stepped back outside. A friend of his gave him a pat on the shoulder and joked, "You don't actually have feelings for Charlene, do you? To keep her happy, you even secretly set up Angelina to marry some servant! You know how temperamental Ms. Padgett can be." Zayden rubbed his forehead. "If I don't give in to Charlene, she might really die. It's just a little unfair to Angelina, and she won't even know." "What are you really thinking?" Zayden glanced back at Charlene in the room and smiled softly. "I've been with Angelina for more than ten years now. She was my first love and everything else too. Honestly, after all this time, I'm not even sure if what I feel for her is still love. "I didn't realize until I saw how madly Charlene loved that I could still fall for someone else. "Once I sort everything out and send Charlene away, I'll get a fake marriage certificate for Angelina. She loves me. She can't live without me." Angelina stood in the corner, and Zayden's words hit her like a splash of cold water. More than ten years-over three thousand days and nights. All wrapped up in a simple, casual line: "After all this time." She stumbled out of the hospital, tears already streaming down her face. She thought, "You were wrong, Zayden. "No one is irreplaceable to someone else. "And I, Angelina, won't let you treat me this way just because I loved you." She pulled out her phone and asked her assistant to find the servant's number for her. The only time she'd heard that name was on Charlene's blog. Charlene had written about taking in a foolish guy as a servant, with a picture showing the back of a young man. So what if he was a servant? Whoever she loves will be better for it. "Hello, this is Angelina. We already have our marriage certificate-do you have time for a wedding?" 43.4 % 08:50 Chapter 2 On the other end of the line, she could hear airport announcements buzzing in the background. "Sure. But my hometown is pretty far away and I need to get ready with some engagement gifts first. I'll have to head back home first. Can you wait ten days for me?" His voice was deep and smooth-not at all like that foolish person Charlene talked about. "It's a deal then! Come marry me in ten days." Angelina hung up, glanced back one last time, wiped her tears, and strode out confidently in her heels. She thought, "Zayden, this time it's me who doesn't want you anymore." 88.0 % 08:50 Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
