Why Cole? You didn’t even see what’s inside” she voiced out almost in the venge of tears.
"I warned you to stay away from my office". His face turned stone cold and stared at her with no emotion. "You thought you could manipulate me and have your way with me again by giving me some crap in disguise as a gift?”
“Coleeeee!” Her heart fell upon hearing his statement.
“And stop trying to act like a good wife because no matter your good deeds, I will always see you as the person who prevented me from being with the love of my life”.
At this point, Hailey couldn’t help with the tears that rolled down her cheeks. “I have sworn to you severally that I knew nothing about that night. I was framed!”Three years ago, Cole was engaged to be married to Hailey’s step-sister, Vanessa, but Vanessa didn’t want Cole because she thought he was poor, so she drugged Hailey into spending the night with Cole, circulated the pictures among close family members and made it seem like Hailey stole her husband.
Vanessa was sent to a nursing home abroad for treatment as she said she was suffering from depression and Hailey had no choice but to marry Cole to save the family’s business. Hailey had been hated by every member of the family to date, most especially her father who loved her so much. Cole hated her even more because he thought Hailey was the one who drugged him and climbed onto his bed.
“We had a very rough beginning, Cole and despite being a victim, I have apologized so much, sacrificed so much, and gone through unbearable pain just to be with you”. she said with pitiful tears rolling down her cheeks.
