Eloisa waited for Gale at his car. She told him that she’s sorry and she invited him to have some refreshment before they separate ways.
“Come, I know a restaurant here who can make our head cool!”, she said while pressing Gale’s legs.
He was so focused on the roadway. His eyebrows crossed like he’s still irritated at Eloisa’s childish behavior a while ago when she walked ahead of him.
” Are you still mad?”, she asked him again.
Gale tightened his jaw and glared at her.
“If you act like that, somebody will notice us!” He angrily told her.
Eloisa pouted her lips and rolled her eyes again. Now, she set a puppy look towards him and asked his forgiveness.
“I promise, I won’t do it again. So are we good?”, she said and Gale began to nod his head.
After arriving at the cafe, they ordered two lemonades and pancakes. Eloisa doesn’t care if Kent will wait for her for hours as long as she’s with Gale.
” Thanks!”, Eloisa smiled at the waitress.
She looked around to check if anyone was suspicious. She had to keep her love affair with her husband’s brother since they’re rich and famous. If a scandal will be discovered by their family because of her, all investors of his dad will untie their connections between their company and her family. She ain’t allow it.
“So, how did you found this girl Greta? I didn’t expect you will marry a woman whom you barely know. You know what, I am pissed to see her face. ” she scowled at him.
Gale took a sip of lemonade first after answering her.
“Well, she’s pretty and smart and rich so you can’t blame me. Of course, I won’t forget you. Greta is just a part of my plan. As her face resembled his ex-lover, he’s preoccupied and that’s when we find his mistakes so dad will give me his permission to take over the Kings and Queens Hotel!”, Cassandra heard it.
Her eyes widened to know that Gale only used her friend Lucy to destroy his brother. This must another huge news for her.
Cassandra keeps listening.
” So, if our plan works, will you leave her? Are you sure she’s not Lucy? Don’t fool me, Gale. I need you to tell me everything So I can trust you.” Eloisa said.
Gale simply set a half-smile while raising one of their hit brows at her. He knows what to do when it comes to Eloisa.
“Don’t worry, Even if she’s Lucy or Greta, I will handle her until our plan succeeded. I hate questions okay?”, he firmly said and Eloisa just keeps her mouth shut.
She knows how Gale got mad. She knows him very well. He’s more than just a monster. He’s a killer too.
Cassandra simply got up with her body trembling from her chair. She can’t believe that every people will earn your trust and destroyed you after.
” I will tell what I heard to Lucy. She can’t live with him like this. He’s a cheater and a bad person.” Cassandra muttered as she called a cab going back to her place.

Now, even she’s Greta Stone, many people still wanted to hurt her. Will Lucy get over this? Can she continue her revenge plan with Gale’s help when the person he trusted the most betrayed her?
Flashbacks
A ten-year-old Kent was playing outside their mansion when a young boy who was two years younger than him was outside the gate with his mom.
Kent who saw them accidentally hit the boy with a stone. He thought he’s a thief because he didn’t see the lady beside him. He cried and Kent ran inside the mansion to hide. His father saw what happened from the window. Alexander who just got up from their bed knows she would come early while his wife was sleeping.
Rachelle, his wife will understand his fault. He knows how good and obedient his wife is.
He hurriedly went downstairs and ambled outside to open the gate.
“Please, take care of him as your son. I won’t bother you anymore.” His mistress Adelle said while giving him their son.
“Mom, please, don’t leave me here. I promise to be a good boy. Please.” Gale begs his mom while grabbing her dress but Adelle’s decision was fixed.
She pushed him to Alexander.
“Hurry. Take him. Bye, and thank you.” Adele said trying to hold her tears from her weary eyes.
“Don’t worry, I will make him just like me someday. Come on, let’s go inside, your brother is waiting for you.” Alexander said to the little boy, his bastard son.
Gale followed the old man as he keeps sniffing and making soft sobs. He’s only eight years old and his young mind can’t visualize what’s right or wrong.
