Chapter 88 - Ch. 88 Louisa's Plan

Louisa, Axel, and Declan were classmates in their college days, and among the many girls who approached him, Declan preferred Louisa.

The girl was not perfect, and he knew there was something that the girl was hiding behind her pure and sweet angelic smile. As long as the girl doesn't cross the line, he always considers Louisa, his best female friend.

If Declan hadn't met Kaylee or fallen in love with her, maybe Declan would have granted Louisa's request. He always did and ready to be there whenever Louisa needed him.

Years ago, Louisa tried to seduce him, and they even kissed under the moon because he got carried away. But their kiss did not create the slightest spark at all, making him feel sure Louisa wasn't the girl he wanted.

Like a gentleman, he apologized to Louisa and told her to slap him or beat him for using her. But the girl gave an angel-like smile at him and didn't mind their brief accident kiss.

That night Declan stated emphatically that their relationship could never be more than friends. Declan was sure that Louisa took his statement without knowing that the girl was secretly using her own way to win him over.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Whatever the girl has planned would be fruitless because now a girl fills Declan's mind and heart.

Even so, Louisa won't just give up and is determined to reclaim what should be hers.

"Fine. Then come together with your fiancée," she stated fiancee instead of a wife. She didn't want to admit the man's bold statement. "I truly want to meet her." Louisa kept her jealousy and her malicious feeling deep in her heart.

Like a good friend, she was sweet, and she acted as if she supports Declan's new relationship with other girls.

Louisa wanted to know how beautiful the girl who had captivated Declan and stole Mrs. Declan's heart. She tried to hire someone to find out the girl's background, but the answer she received from the detectives was a ban on investigating the Zouch family.

She knows the Zouch family was not ordinary because her parents have warned her not to mess around with that family. Although from the outside, the Zouch looks like a typical heart-warming family with a doting father and a loving mother, rumors say, Mr. Zouch was the most brutal person and feared by almost everyone in this world.

Louisa was very sure, this arranged marriage between Kaylee Zouch and Declan Black was due to pressure. Mr. Zouch must have threatened the Black to accept this marriage, leaving Declan with no other choice but to accept his fate.

On the other hand, Declan also wanted to introduce Kaylee to his two friends. Not only to her two friends, but he also wants to tell the whole world that Kaylee was his and his alone.

But he knows, Mr. Zouch would not like the idea of seeing his only daughter's face scattered on any social media. He didn't know why Mr. Zouch was very overprotective of his daughter even though the man has allowed Kaylee to live independently by buying a regular apartment.

Declan thought he knew and understood his future wife quite well, but he realized there was still a lot he didn't know about her.

He felt something implanted deep-buried by Kaylee made him want to dig it to find out. At the same time, he didn't want to frighten her or suffer her when Kaylee found that 'something.'

This 'something' was like a Pandora box which looked like it was precious but brought about an unexpected big catastrophe.

"Go home, Louisa. I'm gonna take a rest."

"But you will come, right?"

Declan didn't answer and only gave a faint smile in response to her question.

Even though the man didn't answer her with words, Louisa knew Declan wouldn't come. She had been with this man for more than a decade and was very familiar with Declan's habits.

When Declan doesn't provide any certainty, then there is a chance that the man will not do what she expects.

It seemed that Louisa wanted to press and persuade the man to come even without her fiancée. Better yet, the man had come as her date. But she knew at times like this she had to hold back.

She must not reveal her true nature towards him and cannot force him to go to parties.

"Okay. Rest well, Dec." Louisa wrapped her hands to the man's torso intimately as if they were lovers.

She knew that this was just normal action and that Declan only thought of it as a customary hug. But... in the eyes of people who don't know them, they would think that the two of them are lovers.

She wondered… what was Kaylee Zouch's reaction like when she saw their intimacy? She didn't try to figure out the answer when she realized Declan didn't return her hug at all.

Usually, this man would return her hug and welcome her like she was his best companion. Declan even often wrapped his hand, enveloping her entire body looking for peace when this man was having problems with his company. But this time, Declan did nothing as if he disliked her embrace.

Louisa let go of her hug and pretended not to feel disappointed at this indirect rejection. She gritted her teeth angrily as the man turned and walked towards the elevator without saying a word.

The jealousy-stricken girl sprinted out of the apartment's lobby and glanced at a familiar 'peeper.'

"Did you take it?"

"Sweet and clear." the person shows his camera screen to show some of the images he has captured.

Louisa could see Declan's face as well as her hugging him with her face hidden in front of the handsome man's sturdy chest.

Although Declan didn't return her hug, the angle of the pose in this photo was enough to make people think they were lovers. She couldn't wait to show it to Kaylee Zouch once she met the mysterious girl.

She smirked evilly when she imagined what kind of expression Kaylee Zouch would put on when she saw this photo.

Louisa couldn't do anything about persuading the man to break up to that 'bitch' girl, but she would stop at nothing to make Kaylee Zouch break their engagement.
