Chapter 2 Her Secret


    Chapter 2 Her Secret


    Brendon had no intention of hiding anything from her.


    "Well, she''s back," Brendon paused and for once exined a little more, "I was very clear with you


    about it before. You should remember."


    Ranita did indeed remember.


    Three years ago, Ranita saved Wyatt Stuart, Brendon''s grandfather. In return, Wyatt forced


    Brendon to marry her, using his illness as leverage. Brendon didn''t get angry but instead found


    Ranita first and made his emotional intentions clear.


    Basically, he had no feelings for her and even if they got married it would just be settling down


    together. Plus he had someone who was the love of his life and who was currently abroad after


    having a fight with him.


    He agreed to the marriage partly out of spite.


    What did Ranita say at that time? She hid her true thoughts and answered him, "I''m only doing this


    for the 1 million dor startup capital."


    Brendon did it for his love while she did it for 1 million dor.

    They both got what they wanted without any real emotions involved.


    Memories rolled through her mind as Ranita took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions while


    looking calmly at Brendon.


    "I understand," said Ranita with a forced smile trying to keep things civil. "These past three years


    have been good thanks to you taking care of me. Let''s part ways on good terms now and live our


    own lives!"


    "I''ll pack up my things and move out soon."


    Brendon nodded lightly saying, "Do what you want. I have something I need to do outside so go


    ahead and sleep."


    As Brendon picked up his coat heading towards the door, he suddenly turned around asking,


    "Before marrying me didn''t you also like someone else?"


    Ranita was stunned momentarily before responding nonchntly, "Yeah!"


    Back then when Brendon was younger, he sat across from her staring coldly at her eyes. In order


    not make herself look too pathetic, she replied casually, "I''m only doing this for the 1 million startup


    capital... I like someone else."


    A woman who married solely because of money yet still held onto feelings should be easier for


    Brendon, right? At least when they divorced, each could maintain their dignity...


    It was just self-constion though. She never expected that he would still remember after all these


    years!


    "You remembered," said Ranita lowering her gaze but smiling slightly as if recalling sweet memories


    from happier times together.


    "Of course!" Brendon pouted silently, feeling a bit unhappy. He leaned against the door and pulled


    his tie, saying, "Well then, I wish you happiness."


    Ranita''s heart felt empty for a moment.


    Brendon left and Ranita sat in the study for half an hour before picking up her pen to sign her name.


    Ranita''s handwriting was elegant while Brendon''s was bold and powerful.


    Her slender fingers touched his name and her heart filled with pain once again.


    Three years of youth exchanged for a fleeting dream - she didn''t know if it was worth it or not.


    Ranita couldn''t sleep; she kept thinking about Brendon and their three years together. Most of the


    time they discussed work calmly but there were also times when they yed around or cared for


    each other. These few beautiful moments were enough to immerse herself in them repeatedly like


    sand grains invading her bones and flesh.


    The ck fog outside the window remained as if hiding the secret buried deep within her heart - a


    secret that she never dared to tell Brendon.


    She loved him, had loved him many years ago already.
