The Secret Bride's
Episode 86: Message

Raging in his mind were many questions that had answers but he was afraid to speak. Lies and lies. Valerie held onto her stomach and stroked quietly there. A second later she was crying. Nola next to him saw the behavior of the master, he also felt strange with everything. Nola felt pity stroking Valerie's back and hugging her.

"Miss, do we need to check in at another hospital?" worry Nola.

Valerie shakes. "Nola, let's go home!" said.

.

Valerie saw the wall clock in the room already showing at 11 p.m. She had not slept, nor had her husband returned home from the office. Are called saying if the boss was helping with personnel matters, he also did not find out what the issue was, because for Valerie it was not her to ask and know. He cupped his face, drowned between his knees. He did not know whether his thoughts were too far away or there was a deliberate hidden matter.

Soon, the sound of his phone shifted focus. Without the name of the caller, he was worried about receiving it. The doubtful finger went back and forth several times. In the end, curiosity overcomes.

"Hello?" Valerie greeted the caller.

No sound for 10 seconds, Valerie almost disconnects the call, if the caller doesn't speak.

"How does it feel to be lied to?"

"Who is this?"

She doubted.

"Guess what?"

"Sorry, I don't know!"

There was the sound of laughter from the other end, the satisfied laughter that had been waiting for. Valerie disconnected that connection and received a message one minute later. The message is not a good thing. He was again terrorized via SMS. Valerie read the message.

“When the flower is finished being picked, the tree becomes ordinary, he should be with the leaves that do not look beautiful, you will be like that leaf! Get ready, the wheel turns towards you!”

What the person who used to terrorize him was the same person or there was a new wave of virus in his household.

...🖤...

Darren should not intervene anymore in the management of the company because he has found a trustworthy person to run his company. Personal affairs being the main reason, he should and always be by his wife's side, more secure he thought. Especially after yesterday's problems involving the Wang family & the terror chat was not solved, also more important was the problem of his mother and doctor Han.

However, personnel matters concern the confidant in the company. So he had to hear where the smoke was coming from. The related documents he had checked, there was nothing valid to accuse the person. He was involved with the abuse of power position as marketing director when hiring employees. The marketing department is short of people to promote new products in the supermarket branch, they are looking for a woman who can be there.

But at the second recruitment interview, the marketing director was not in place, because a sudden problem resulted in him having to leave for service. So, all recruitment affairs should be the responsibility of the Recruitment section in HR. Not to forget the marketing director also asked his assistant to replace him in giving some key questions. Reviewed, everything is in accordance with the existing regulations.

The problem is, one of the employees received at that time was the younger cousin of the marketing director. In Darren's company, recruitment of prospective employees who are part of the family of permanent employees in the office has more conditions and separated time. Because of this, they accuse the marketing director of giving a special path. Then the other part is, the problem of the department is not in accordance with the administration.

Though the director of marketing, Seo jang hyuk did not know that his distant cousin was registered with the company. He was also not so familiar that it had to be said to give a special path. As a result of the problem, rumors of an unopened recruitment path became an impact, the feud between the HR department and other departments became greater. The new CEO took office, therefore Darren intervened.

Darren was so busy, he forgot to eat dinner. Additional evidence has been issued, but the feud between the mouths cannot be quelled. Darren stepped on the table once and everything was silent for a moment. He let one by one of them talk so that the problem is solved by understanding each other but when they talk everything is out of the way. There are even those who talk about infidelity, it has gone beyond the limit Darren said.

"I ask you to speak up to understand each other instead of knocking each other down! Moreover, bringing personal problems that have nothing to do with the discussion. Since the evidence is in place, I think this matter is over!

"The CEO will give you the final judgment!" he added, while looking at the new appointed CEO.

"I still have business." Darren pamit's.

Darren came out of Hill co, at about 12:00 p.m., he was up to 15 minutes later, remembering the streets were off. Along the way he thought of his wife, asking in his heart what she had suspected until he went to another hospital for a medical checkup. He got out of the car and went into the house. At the door, the butler was waiting and bowing with the other employees, even though Darren had reminded him not to do such activities when he came home.

"Valerie's asleep?" he asked Shin's mother.

The officers behind Mother Shin glanced at each other, it did not escape Darren's vision.

Of course it wasn't his fault, he was just worried. Darren nodded, not forgetting he asked them to return to their respective rooms. He walked up on his own. Are and Han returned to their room.

The first thing he found when he stepped into the room was dark. As Darren pressed the light button, he saw his wife sitting on the sofa daydreaming. Slowly Darren approached Valerie, he sat down in front of his wife. "Why aren't the lights on?"

Valerie had yet to answer, her eyes were currently focused forward. In silence, Darren clasped his hands tightly. "What's wrong?" ask her again, as before, Valerie has not answered.

"Vallery?"

"I'm at the hospital," she still doesn't see Darren. The husband is still waiting for his wife to continue the sentence.

"They said I was okay!" when he finished, his eyes saw Darren intes' eyes.

"Thank God, isn't this month's check already? You check again, why? You sick? Why not tell me the same? Why didn't Yu Ra say anything to Are!"

Valerie was stunned, her husband spoke so much in one breath. Remind her that her husband can be a rival to her in rap.

"Darren?"

"Yes?"

"There used to be a friend of mine, she married someone who turned out to be the cause of her parents' separation. For years until she has a child, she doesn't know it until she discovers the truth from a neighbor. The more he digs into the more obvious the facts are. Finally, she knew all her husband's deeds. But, uh,

which makes me not believe. He wanted to close the matter and live happily instead, rather pretend to be happy. You know what he told me?"

Valerie asked Daren. The look in his eyes showed disapproval.

"Why should I trust my neighbor and not my husband! He's the one who's been with me and the only family I have. He closed his eyes to the truth and continued his life like that and he said this was happiness. What happiness starts with a lie? I asked him."

Darren keeps hearing the wife's story. Valerie lowered her head and continued the story.

"She kept looking at me and held my shoulder tight. The look in his eyes I remember clearly. Even if it starts with a lie, he is happy. What happened to his parents was a test they could not live. If only the marriage of his parents was solid, just because of a small shock from the outside would not knock down a building that was built many years ago with a good Manteniece. His parents wanted the house to be destroyed, so he was destroyed. So it's not 100% her husband's fault,"

"She also went through the same thing, got an exam for her household and she chose a different path from her parents. He decided to hold on. That time, I was thinking whether this woman could really forget the fact that the man she slept with every night was the doer who separated her parents until she and her sisters were abandoned and had to live in the streets, enjoying the rigors of life since he was a child and having to experience the deeds of adults."

"She just smiled as I asked her a question again. Then, he took my hand and said something that made me not understand at the time. Valerie, the wound hurts. But you have to be sure that it's not the end of your life. Wounds can heal, go to the doctor and get treatment. Done it. Don't fall and don't be depressed. If you get into trouble tomorrow about a lie, make sure you don't judge it only from the victim's side. The two sides are different and the same."

Darren was still silent while Valerie breathed a sigh of relief after telling a story from the past that she had never forgotten. Her High School friend is still living happily with her husband, until now. So, can he do it? He thinks hard.

Valerie's right, that moment will come holding her accountable. Darren clasped tightly onto the arm of the sofa, his eyes still staring at Valerie deeply. Being ready or not is no longer the problem. At that time, he easily chose without considering the consequences carefully and it turned out to be heavy. Now if he didn't dare admit it would hurt his wife even more.

Both in their minds.

"I always thought, why didn't Darren say it in the first place?" the sight of his wife hurting pierced his chest.

"Valerie listen!" Darren came forward holding the woman's hand, he was squatting before his wife.

"I,"

Me?
