Flirtatious husband: Why he wants to marry me? - Chapter 54:Gaile's End
It’s too quiet, the child saw a man walks closer to her, she wants to reach her hand to the man, but she couldn’t move.
The man turned his back away from her, and then there are screams!
A car is falling off to the bottom of the cliff!
Kira wants to move her body, but no matter how hard she tries, she couldn’t move her body!
It felt like someone is preventing her to move!
“Help!” Kira suddenly get up from her bed!
“Sweetheart?!” Tim who is lying beside her woken up from her cry!
He turned on the lampshade and looked at Kira.
Tim was shocked to see Kira soaked in her sweat while panting and she looked pale!
“Why?!” He asked worriedly.
Kira suddenly embraced Tim and she started to cry!
Tim froze…
He can feel Kira’s trembling body.
“I saw a car fell off the cliff, I heard how my screams as if they’re calling for help! I could have saved them! If only I was strong enough, I could have saved them!” Kira said as tears fell to her face.
Tim felt like someone clutched his heart, and he embraces Kira, ” Ssshhh…”
“It’s just a nightmare…” Tim said as he stroked Kira’s back.
Kira tightened her embrace to Tim.
“I saw a man, I asked for help but he only looked at me and turned his back away from me,” Kira spoke again in between her sobs.
Tim slowly stopped stroking Kira’s back, and a tinge of guilt flashed in his eyes, ” I’m sorry. I was not there to help you.” He said in a lonely voice.
If he could only make things right, he would do it!
But it was in the past and the damage has been done.
And the saddest thing is that he couldn’t do anything to correct his father’s mistake.

The next morning, Kira doesn’t have work, so, she decided to give a visit to her parent’s grave.
Kira put down the two bouquets on a different tombstone.
She touched the names on the tombstones, “Mom, Dad, I’m sorry if I have not visited the two of you often. I was busy with work.” Kira spoke on the tombstone as if she is talking to a person.
Tears started to form in her eyes.
“I’m sorry if I was too weak to and I was not able to save you both,” Kira said as her tears started to fall.
“It was fifteen years ago, but the pain of losing both of you is still here.” Kira’s shoulders shook as she pointed her left chest.
“I missed you both, mom, dad.” Kira sobbed.
Kira continued to cry in front of her parent’s tombstone.
It took a while before she calmed down, but she felt like someone is looking at her from a distance.
Kira looked around, there are only a few people in the cemetery and they don’t seem suspicious, but Kira’s gaze unintentionally fell into a familiar silhouette of a man standing far from her.
Kira knitted her brows, as she stared at the man.
He is wearing a brown coat, a black hat, and sunglasses.
The man might have noticed Kira looking at him for he turned and walks away.
Kira froze…
Her heartbeat becomes faster!
The way the man turned is too familiar!
Kira’s gaze followed the man until he was out of sight.
‘No!’ Kira shook her head, ‘I might be thinking too much!’ She said to her self.
‘Maybe it is because of her nightmare!’
Kira tried to calm her self before she walks to the car.
The driver instantly opens the car door when he saw Kira coming.

Tan residence…
Helena saw Tim standing in the balcony while in deep thought.
“You seem to be in deep thought, Tim,” Helena asked as she approaches Tim.
Tim snapped back to his senses when he heard Helena spoke behind him.
Tim turned his head to Helena.
“Auntie…”
“Looks like something is bothering you,” Helena commented.
“Kira already knows about the will,” Tim replied.
“But you did not tell her the truth behind it, did you?” Helena asked.
Tim shook his head.
“Oh!” Helena blurted out.
“I couldn’t, auntie,” Tim said.
“I wouldn’t question you for not telling her.”
Tim took a deep breath.
“But Tim…” Helena spoke.
“For how long are you going to hide it from Kira?” Helena asked.
Tim froze for a moment, “I can hide it until forever, auntie.”
“If it is the only thing to keep her beside me, I would bring all the secrets into my grave.” Tim is determined.
Helena just sigh!

L Country
“Gaile, what do you think you’re doing with your life?!”
“You’ve been like this since you came back from Country S !” Gaile’s manager Amanda is furious!
“Some of your endorsements retracted their contract because of what you did!”
Gaile did not come to the fashion week, she did not come in a few photoshoots!
She did not attend many events.
She just stays and locked her self in her apartment.
Amanda looked at Gaile sitting on the floor, and hiding her self on the corner while embracing her legs and her chin rested on her knees.
Gaile is not responding to all she said, and she is in a daze.
Amanda shook her head as she saw the big changes of Gaile.
She looked different from the Gaile that she used to know.
The Gaile before has a fighting spirit, she is confident, sophisticated and she always wants to look perfect in front of everyone.
But the Gaile in front of her now is the total opposite!
She looked stressed!
There are dark circles around her eyes.
Her hair is messy, she looked pale and thin.
She looked like someone who lost its interest to live.
“Fix your life Gaile, before you lost everything you have. There are many models out there, the ones who are more pretty and younger than you!” After saying her word, Amanda left Gaile’s apartment.
There is no use of staying and talking to Gaile, she doesn’t even know if Gaile is listening to everything that she said!
Gaile was left alone inside her apartment.
Her eyes moved and she’s starting hearing things again!
‘How could you be a failure?!’
‘You’re just like your mother!’
‘You have no use here!’
‘My husband will never choose you!’
‘Failure!’
‘Failure!’
‘Failure!’
Gaile held her head.
She felt like her head is going to burst, little voices are whispering to her!
She couldn’t sleep because of these little voices in her mind, whispering her.
‘There are models who are pretty and younger than you!’
“No!” Gaile shouted!
She couldn’t take it anymore!
Gaile gets up from the floor, she heads to the medicine cabinet and eats her medicine.
She wants these little voices to be out of her mind, but they just won’t stop!
Gaile took another piece of the drug but she felt like it wasn’t enough, so, she added one more, and more, and more.
Gaile filled her palm with the medicine before she stuffed it into her mouth.
