"I… I just want to see Gideon." Mariz’s voice was weak and polite. The woman looked up, her eyes welling up, before she wiped the corner of her eye with a finger.

Lyzza sighed because she didn't know if she could call herself inconsiderate, as her actions seemed more like theatrics to her.

"I just want to thank him for what he did last night."

She nodded and finally opened the door wide. "Come in."

The woman was momentarily surprised, but seconds later, her expression turned pitiful again.

Lyzza led the way to the long couch in the living room.

"You can have a seat. I'll just call him."

"Sure. I just want to thank him for what he did last night. I'm glad he still thinks of our past relationship, that's why he did it."

If someone else had heard Mariz, they would have interpreted her words differently. Mariz was bringing up her past relationship with Gideon. If Gideon hadn't mentioned his ex-wife’s situation right away, her thoughts might be different.

She left the woman who was

    LYZZA thought that Gideon would follow her into their room after she walked out. However, to her dismay, she did not even hear his footsteps coming into the room.Her blood boiled when she heard Mariz loudly crying as she walked out. Mariz kept calling Gideon’s name and telling lies about everything that happened in the living room.She waited in the room for almost thirty minutes, hoping that Gideon would follow her and confront her or at least soothe her for what happened. However, to her disappointment, she only received a text from him saying that he would order his bodyguards to send her to Vesarius Mansion and that he would follow later. And to make matters worse, he accompanied Mariz to the hospital.Lyzza cursed Mariz and Gideon loudly, even though they could not hear or see her. Her chest felt like it was being hammered, knowing they were together and that Gideon chose that woman over her.She bit her lower lip harder before returning to the living room, where she left her ba

    GIDEON’S promise to meet them at the mansion wasn't fulfilled. Lyzza already expected it, but Summer was silent when she discovered they were the only two going to her mom’s house."Mommy, is it bad to break a promise?" Summer asked with her innocent voice while they were on the road.She stroked her hair and adjusted the way Summer sat on her lap. "It depends. Why do you ask?""I don't understand.""Well, baby, there are promises that aren't fulfilled unintentionally. For example, let's say your Uncle Caius promised to buy you stickers but couldn't keep them because he had to buy something for a school project. Or, for instance, I promised you we'd go to the mall, but I had an emergency.""That's understandable," Summer replied, but she still seemed sad."Yes. Of course, we still have to be careful when we make promises. If you can do it, then you should. The word "promise" is used to assure you'll do what you said. "Summer did not say anything, so she asked again, "Why, baby? Is th

    "SHE insulted my daughter. I don't care if she accuses me of fooling you and says that Summer is not your child. I wouldn't force my child on you in the first place. You were the one who insisted on taking Summer and entering our lives. But for her to drag my child into her madness, I won’t just sit down.""She's lying, then? She told me that you started the fight, and that you mentioned my deceased child. His voice was cold at that moment.Lyzza sarcastically laughed and shook her head in disappointment."When did the enemy become the protagonist in the witch's story? You know what? If I have realized anything about your ex-wife, it is that you're right. She's not kind. She used a clueless child to get what she wanted. She even told me that Summer would never replace your deceased child in your heart. Why? Does my daughter want to compete? I don't know how she's using an innocent child who is no longer here in the world. What kind of mother is she?""You're mad.""Yes."Gideon's eyes

    A WEEK had passed since Mariz stayed with them under the same roof. Gideon told her that his ex-wife had no choice because she had nowhere to go. Furthermore, Mariz was also in danger because her former live-in partner, Ricky, had escaped prison and was now pursuing her. Mariz was pregnant, and the baby could be in danger if Ricky found and hurt her again.Lyzza didn't know if she should laugh at their situation because the woman who first married Gideon was now staying with them along with their child, Summer. The woman was very assertive and made it clear to her and Summer that they were just guests in the house, which was supposedly her house. It was Gideon and Mariz's house when they were still married, but Lyzza didn't want to know to whom it belonged now, in case it made her feel worse about her husband.When she suggested to Gideon that they could move to the penthouse, he disagreed. He told her he needed to stay in that house because of Mariz and that he wanted to be with Summ

    "MOMMY, why do we have to leave Daddy?" Summer asked, watching as Lyzza packed their clothes into a suitcase. Despite her disappointment with her father, Summer still wanted to be with him."We have to leave because we'll get hurt if we stay," she replied."Who will hurt us, Mommy? I don't think Daddy can hurt us. He doesn't hit me," Summer said, her face reflecting her confusion.She sighed and put the final piece of clothing in Summer's pink suitcase before kneeling in front of her daughter, who was sitting on the bed."That's not what I mean. You know that your dad loves you so much, right? You're his princess. We both know he wouldn't physically hurt you," she explained."Yes, Mommy. Daddy loves me," Summer nodded."But we have to leave because we also love ourselves. We have to protect ourselves," Lyzza continued."I don't understand, Mommy. Why do we have to leave Daddy just because we love ourselves? Can't we love ourselves and Daddy at the same time?" Summer asked."You can, b

    HER eyes widened in shock at what she heard. Why would Mariz want to kill her former live-in partner? "What's wrong, and who are these stupid people who took him? The police won't side with him because he has a previous case. Have you contacted the one who has his family?" She was momentarily quiet while listening to the person she was speaking to. "Bitch! Even his family was kidnapped? Who are these people interfering with us? Gideon should not be able to find a loophole in this. I'm close to getting him back!" She quickly and silently climbed up the stairs just as Mariz was about to look in her direction. Only then did Lyzza realize she had been holding her breath since she arrived in the room. From what she heard, she felt as if she had witnessed a crime. Mariz seemed to be crazy. The woman seemed to have a huge grudge against her former live-in partner and wanted to kill him. They were in danger with that woman! It was good that she and Summer were leaving that house already.

    "STOP it, Lyz. It's not your fault," Carollete consoled her. Her sister-in-law continued to stroke her hair as she tried to calm her down.She put her glass on the center table after drinking."What if something bad happens to the baby? I shouldn't have argued with her.""You didn't push her. Summer and I, along with the two helpers, saw that she stepped back and fell. Besides, she hurt Summer. It's natural that you would defend your daughter from someone like her."They were now at the Vesarius Mansion. Summer was sleeping on the big couch, cuddled by her."I'm scared for the baby, Rolle. I shouldn't have fought her and should have just reminded myself that she is pregnant.""It was an accident, so don't blame yourself. If that woman accuses you, I'll stand as your witness. I'm sure Celia and Nelia are on your side too. Besides, I know that Gideon will believe you.""No. He's mad at me." She frowned.Lyzza didn't expect the pain her words brought. It was like the pain she had felt fr

    "LYZZA!" Someone yelled as he grabbed her arm, until she heard the honk of a car. That honk jolted her back to reality. She saw herself standing by the side of the road while a man inside a car was looking at her with a stern gaze."Hey, if you're going to kill yourself, don't get me involved!" The man shouted angrily before driving away."Are you okay?" The voice she had been hearing asked.She looked over to see David worriedly looking at her, examining her from head to toe to see if she needed medical attention. After seeing that she had no injuries, he looked back at her eyes again."What are you doing? You aren’t trying to kill yourself, are you?" He took a deep breath and let go of her arm, putting both of his hands on his hips. "I saw you come out of the elevator earlier. I accompanied Mom for her checkup. I'm glad I followed you because if I hadn't, you might have been hit by a car.""T-thank you," she said, her voice shaking."Why are you crying?" He shook his head and grabbe

Gideon nodded at him.The two hugged man-to-man before he waved three key cards like those seen in hotels."The house is ready. I already installed a security system throughout the mansion. The roof and walls are bulletproofed just like you like." He then looked at her and Summer too. "Welcome to Northsire Town.""Thanks, Cale. I owe you, man.""Daddy, I won. I won." A young boy ran out of the mansion carrying a tablet.Summer let go of her father's leg and raised an eyebrow when she saw Giovanni. The young boy was also surprised to see Summer, but he quickly rolled his eyes at her little girl.Summer's eyes shone with determination. Giovanni ignored her, and looked back at his father.

His voice had a threatening tone, but it was still affectionate.Damn! He was teasing her and still being sweet! How could that be possible?"You're annoying! She's your mistress, right?" She accused him and pointed at him.He looked at her while slowing down the car until it came to a complete stop before they even left the Vesarius Airlines compound.She let out a scream when Gideon suddenly grabbed her waist and kissed her passionately."Hmp..."

    EXTRA CHAPTER 1Lyzza ran towards Vesarius Airlines because she was already late for her first flight that morning. Emer and his companion, a guy named Paul with no eyebrows, were running after her."Ma'am, please don't run," Emer said like a worried father because of her stubbornness.Well, she couldn’t deny that she was really stubborn most of the time."I’m good. Stay there. Bye!" Lyzza shouted and managed to wave at them while pulling her suitcase. "Tell Gideon I’ll kick her ass when I get back."She chuckled as she left the two bodyguards outside, scratching their heads because they couldn't enter the boarding gate anymore. Ever since she remarried Gideon, she felt like a queen with bodyguards wherever she went.If it wasn't Emer and Paul guarding her, her husband was always trailing her like she was going to run away. Where could she go that he didn't know about? Gideon was really paranoid, even though he knew for himself that she was madly in love with him."Mrs. Vesarius!" Qui

    EPILOGUEWatching his wife laugh with her friends, Gideon couldn’t help but smile at the scene in front of him. The way Lyzza laughed and teased her friends made his heart go into a summersault."Man, are you even listening?" Alejandro irritably asked him.He turned to look at him and just raised the corner of his lips upon seeing the annoyance on his face."What?""Fuck you!" Alejandro raised his middle finger. "I've been talking here for a while now."Riguel and Spiel, who were beside him, laughed. Annoyed, Alejandro stood up, took off his suit jacket, and threw it at him. Gideon quickly dodged it and threw it back at the asshole. He was annoyed as Alejandro locked his neck in his arm, like when they were still in military school. Riguel and Spiel chuckled as Gideon tried to remove Alejandro’s hand from his neck."Riguel, bud. Hold this bastard's hand. I'll kick his ass. This is my chance."And because Riguel was also a king of mischief, he stood up and followed what Alejandro said.

    "Do you not have anything to say?" Gideon asked her as she only continued to stare at him, her eyes widening.She blinked slowly and closed her mouth. She pressed her palms against his chest to raise herself slightly."W-What did you say?" She couldn't believe it. The strong thumping of her heart was like a drum that deafened her.Gideon's face turned red, and despite her confused feelings, she couldn't help but chuckle."Are you blushing?"Her teasing remark made him blush even more, causing his ears and neck to turn red. He looked away from her, but his hand tightened around her waist."You're blushing," he said, trying to ease the tension with her laughter. She held his ears.Gideon almost jumped in surprise, which made her laugh even louder."Strawberry," he warned her.However, his authoritative tone did not deter her. She gasped as he tightened his grip on her waist, and in a blink of an eye, their positions changed. His large body pressed against hers while his hands captured h

    Lyzza scratched Gideon's back when she reached her climax countless times that night. She was already exhausted, but Gideon continuously moved and thrust inside of her. Her lips would part every time he went deeper inside her, giving her a pleasure only her husband could provide.The delicious feeling of him inside her made her crazy. It was giving her an incredible sensation that felt like sending her to paradise—and only Gideon had the ability to make her feel that way. He was the only one."F*ck, f*cking delicious," Gideon cursed hoarsely as he moved above her. He thrust faster that she could feel her nails digging into his skin. She felt a familiar sensation in her abdomen and moaned his name as he hit her G-spot."Oh…Gideon," she moaned loudly, and she couldn’t recognize her voice.He hit her g-spot, which made her roll her eyes with so much pleasure. She bit her lower lip firmly when he went deeper inside of her again."You like that? Do you like it? F*ck, I love this so much,"

    Lyzza peeked through the window when she heard a commotion downstairs. Someone was shouting at the gate, and the bodyguards were alerted. There was no one in the mansion but her and the servants.Her mother and Caius arrived at the penthouse a few days ago, and their eyes showed a mix of surprise and happiness upon seeing her again. Like Summer, her mother cried and hugged her tightly. She sobbed and kissed her face like a child. Caius, on the other hand, quietly cried when Lyzza hugged him.Afterwards, they went back to Vesarius Mansion. Mommy Gerona nearly fainted when she saw her again, and Carollete almost choked her when her sister-in-law hugged her tightly."Gideon Vesarius, come out! You killed my daughter," the man outside angrily shouted and tried to push through the bodyguards."Ester, who is outside?" she asked the passing butler.Ester approached her and took a peek. "Is that Mariz's father? Yes, that's him.""Mariz's father?" She was taken aback and stared at the man outs

    "The report is with me, bud," Alejandro said as he opened the door. "The old woman and the neighbors confirmed that your wife was found by the seaside. She was asleep for a few months in the small hospital on the island. The old woman named Erlinda is a simple high school teacher, it’s understandable that she doesn’t have enough money to put your wife in the big and better hospital."Gideon took the folder that Alejandro handed him and read Lyzza's records in the small infirmary on the island. His suspicions were confirmed. She ended up on that island after falling off a cliff."She's here in Manila with the old woman's son. The name is Senen, and he is one of the representatives of the academic contest... something, I don’t know.""A man?" he asked bitterly. Of all the things Alejandro said, Lyzza's companion's name was the only thing that caught his attention."Yes, he’s currently staying at the hotel. Stop your sh*t ass from being jealous.""I'm not," he countered.Alejandro chuckl

The little girl sat on her lap and hugged her tightly.

But the man who wouldn't stop staring at her might notice.Lyzza thought it was fine; she'll just kiss her baby when Gideon is not around."Mommy, I love you. I miss you so much," Summer said in a sweet voice, kissing her on the cheek.She tried to hold back a big smile and returned the affection subtly. Sh
