“It’s neither right nor wrong. I am indeed pregnant with Skye’s child, and Skye does feel guilty for disfiguring you. As for your brother, he is addicted to gambling himself. I just went along with it.” Sofia smiled. “Now that things have come to this point, you should leave Bloomstead.”
Her words were like a reminder, but more of a warning. Shirley could only agree to that. After hanging up the phone, she sat on the bed with eyes devoid of emotions. She appeared like a lifeless puppet.
Wade donned his casual clothes before approaching her. He patted her shoulder. “It’s all in the past, don’t worry too much. Besides, this may not be entirely bad for you.”
He sighed heavily and sat beside her. “Social status is important has always been important. We are at the bottom of the pyramid. It’s best to lead a stable life. The wealthy elites look down upon us, and we can’t fit in with them, let alone force ourselves to fit in.”
Wade’s words made Shirley burst into tears. He patted his own shoulder. “Here, you can lean on my shoulder.”
“Wade, I’m sorry.” Shirley choked. He shook his head. ‘I should thank you. Thank you for helping me. If it weren’t for you, I would still be living a miserable life.”
They were both wanderers in the world. Both of them felt the threat from ‘capitalism. They realized the dangers lurking in society.
They left Bloomstead alongside Wade’s mother that night. No one knew where they went. The bedroom in Pinewoods Villa was pitch black, yet there was a faint heavy breathing. echoed against its walls. Veronica looked at the man beneath her, whimpering, “Matt, I…”
“You promised me you would be the top. You can’t go back on your word now.” The man smirked and patted her.
It had been a month and a half since Veronica received the script, Thus, it was time for the shooting to start. That meant the couple wouldn’t be able to spend much time together from now on.
Matthew was reluctant to be separated from her, hence the release of his wild side until now. Veronica couldn’t put up with his tenacious advances anymore and kept begging for mercy. He teased, ‘If you’re on the top, I’ll spare you.”
In order to get some early rest to not be late for the shooting tomorrow, she had no choice but to agree. However, she underestimated his self-control. It had already been an hour, and he was not done yet.
“You…” She was at a loss for words, extremely frustrated.
Ring, ring, ring-
At this moment, his phone rang on the table. Her eyes lit up. “Matt, you have an incoming call.” The man demanded, “Leave it. Don’t mind it.”
J*rk. No one answered the phone, but the ringing did not stop there. It continued to ring five or six times until it finally ticked Matthew’s nerves off.
Frowning, he hugged the sleeping woman and picked up the phone. The screen was showing Miguel’s number. ‘It better be urgent.”
The corner of Miguel’s lips twitched as he was embarrassed for interrupting their intimacy moment. “Drew is missing.”
“Isn’t he in the hospital?” Matthew asked. “He went missing since morning. The nurse received a call from Skyler saying that he had been discharged, so she didn’t ask further.. When I came to, I couldn’t find him and couldn’t reach him. I’m sure he’s missing. I’ve asked my men to look for him.”
“Alright, I’m on my way.” Matthew hung up the phone and pinched the women’s cheek. “Rest up. I have something to do.”
