After handling William’s discharge from the hospital, Yolanda personally drove him back to the orphanage.

As she was about to leave, William held her hand tight and said, “Yolanda, is everything okay between you and Charles? You two hardly spend any time together these days. If anything’s making you unhappy, just let me know. If it gets too much, we can call it quits–it’s perfectly fine to live on your own. Don’t feel like you have to stay with a man just for the sake of it.”

Yolanda’s eyes grew red on the spot. Living in this circle, she’d felt all too clearly the malice toward women- especially since she was a Grant.

William had devoted most of his life to the orphanage and never really understood how women thought. Back when Athena was still around, she’d be the one Yolanda confided in.

Athena had plenty of her own ideas.

Back then, Yolanda was always chasing after Charles, never trying to hide the way she looked at him–so obviously in love. Athena would hold her hand and say seriously, “That boy doesn’t seem the type to settle down with anyone. Yolanda, you have to look out for yourself. Love isn’t always enough. If something ever feels wrong, it’s best to get out while you still can.”

The elders always had razor–sharp insight into people–a talent that meant Yolanda and Charles’s fate was sealed long before they even realized it.

But at the time, Yolanda didn’t buy it. She thought that marrying Charles would mean he’d be hers, but he kept chasing women outside their marriage, one after another. He wouldn’t even let her nurse her heartbreak -just ruthlessly tore away fifteen years of love without a second thought.

All those years of Athena’s guidance, and she’d let her down in the end.

Yolanda dropped her lashes, schooling her face into a perfect, unbreakable smile–no cracks, no hint of pain. “Don’t worry, William. The minute everything’s settled, I’ll file for divorce,” she promised, resolute on the inside though calm on the surface.

If she tried to break free now, the Grant family would never let her go. The pressure from them was suffocating.

Renee and the Andrade manor would be just as ruthless. For now, being Charles’s wife was the only shield she had–no matter how flimsy, it was all that stood between her and a storm.

As she was about to leave, Yolanda noticed Joey peeking out timidly from behind a tree. He called out in a small, shy voice, “Aunt Yolanda, thank you for bringing Grandpa William back.”

A smile tugged at Yolanda’s lips, her heart nearly melting from the sweetness.

“No need to thank me, Joey. You must’ve really missed Grandpa William, right? Come on, go join everyone inside,” she replied warmly.

Just as she was about to get in the car, she spotted a vehicle in the distance suddenly floor it–like a maniac- and come barreling straight for her.
