Fia swept a glance at the darkness nearby. It was half past eight and there were few people around.
However, to a certain artiste, it was still not safe enough.
She suppressed the helplessness she felt internally and turned around.
“Is anything the matter?”
Wearing a mask and a cap, Eileen was dressed in all black as she hurried to Fia.
“I’m Eileen.”
“Is anything the matter?” Fia asked coolly.
Eileen stared at Fia and her gaze trembled. “Are you really unable to agree to my request?”
“What request?” Fia acted as if she had forgotten that she had once come to seek her out.
Eileen said, “Conrad has moved into Aurora Residences, and is living above you.”
Fia replied, “So?”
Eileen continued, “I just saw Annie leaving, not too tidily.”
Fia sighed. “So?”
Eileen walked to Fia and made a request sincerely. “Why does Conrad have amnesia and is able to find a woman to pass his days well? I also find Annie’s actions distasteful. She and that monster of a mom of Conrad’s worked together to cheat people! A bunch of scum!”
“Ms. Reid.” Fia’s tone was faint. “You asking me to intentionally approach Mr. Maxwell, isn’t that also cheating people? Is that not being scum?”
Eileen froze.
Fia said, “Don’t be a pot calling the kettle black, please? Your career is at its peak, so just focus on earning money and pass your days well. Don’t think about stuff you shouldn’t be thinking about.”
Eileen replied, “I feel it’s so unfair for my best friend. She liked Conrad for many years and I reckon even Conrad doesn’t even know. Why…”
“Your best friend is dead while you are alive. You really don’t have to torture yourself for a dead person!” Fia’s tone couldn’t help turning solemn.
“You wouldn’t understand.” Eileen lowered her head. “Losing her was equivalent to losing half of my life. Every day, besides work, I don’t know what to do.”
Fia smelled the liquor on her. “Ms. Reid, you’re drunk. Call your assistant to come pick you up.”
Fia thought of Beryl’s attitude. However, no matter how ruthless a tiger was, it wouldn’t eat its cubs. Could Beryl be so ruthless to such a point?
That she would poison her own son?
“I won’t let him die so easily! He must recall everything before he dies!” Eileen thought about how Conrad was miserable like a bereaved dog. Who knows, maybe regaining his memories would give him a blow!
“Thank you, Ms. Sia. I know where to hit now!”
Seeing Eileen run into the distance, Fia touched her sleeve which was just grabbed and sighed helplessly.
“Eileen, you should not waste your beautiful life away for me.”
In the dark of the night.
Conrad awoke in pain. That kind of deep bone piercing pain drenched him in sweat.
He leaned against the wall to go into the washroom to take a shower. The hot water made his body hurt even more and he turned it to cold water.
Taking a shower with cold water on a winter’s night, the biting cold and the pain in his body wrestling, gave him a bit of respite.

The readers' comments on the novel: Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad)
I had known that the ending would be like this , I would never had read this book. It didn’t have a right ending at all. Made no sense. Don’t waste your time....
Evil should never win and Lucifer has harmed far to many....
This should not end this way. Fia, rather than following Lucifer’s evil path should reflect and realize that she has always loved Conrad and he has always loved her. Their problems were due to the interference of others, Beryl, Esme etc . Since she is the only one that can approach Lucifer, she and Peter should cooperate with each other, kill Lucifer and evil Beryl, Peter can remove the toxins/ poison from everyone and each will be able to live normal lives without interfering with others relationship's. The children deserve their real father who will love them dearly and provide and protect them with the life they deserve. Gia has been a fool since the beginning and has believed everyone but her beloved husband. Please end this on a good note, that is why we all read these stories, everyone loves a happy ending....
