The sun had already set when Beatrice stood at the doorway of her room. She snorted briefly and shook her head lazily.

"Still not coming out? Want to turn into Rapunzel, who was locked up in the castle?" Beatrice asked with a sarcastic tone.

Cheryl turned away, not wanting to respond to Beatrice's useless babbling.

Since morning—or rather, since the night—Cheryl had stayed in her room. She wrapped herself in a blanket, paying no attention to the food that Beatrice had sent since morning.

"You're too weak to stand beside Rafael. That's why he's always hesitant whenever he sees you," Beatrice said with a bitter smile.

Cheryl turned her head slightly, a little bit surprised by Beatrice's ambiguous statement.

"What do you mean?"

Since morning, Rafael hadn't come to see her. He seemed to have deliberately left her alone, making her keep thinking about many unreasonable things ever since knowing his true identity.

"This is how our life is," Beatrice shrugged, "a spoiled princess from the Al

    Cheryl felt frightened as Carlos dragged her into the grand mansion in the city center. Long hallways dominated by white walls welcomed her as she entered the building. The ceiling adorned with classical ornaments and a chandelier in the center made the mansion look even more magnificent.The Dominggos family mansion.There was no way out of this place.

    Days changed faintly. Now she was in Las Vegas—in her room at the Alejandro family mansion. No more Canada, or horse stables on the ranch, or the simple room overlooking the vineyard, or sunrises by the lake.Everything vanished all of a sudden...Cheryl never really noticed the passing of time. She felt empty as if she had just lost something precious in her life.She faintly heard the sound of the door being closed gently.As she opened her eyes, the room that was once dark and cold had transformed into bright and... warm. She could feel the thick blanket wrapping around her body. And the gentle stroke on her head."How was your sleep? Nice?"Cheryl looked up and found Mateo sitting at the edge of the bed, looking at her with concern as if she had just got a big problem.In reality, she was indeed caught in a big problem..."When did you arrive?" Cheryl shifted back, rising from her sleeping position and approaching Mateo to hug him."A few hours ago." Mateo kept running his fingers

    Throughout her life, Cheryl admitted that she was not a person who was close to God. She rarely prayed, nor did she attend church. However, there were moments in her life that made her feel that someday she would find and return to the old path that she had left behind. Perhaps, there would be things that made her miss her old habits of coming to church to pray or just sitting for hours practicing the piano with the choir.Now, for the first time in years, she was back at the small church where she had spent her childhood in Las Vegas.This church was not the same as the last time she visited. There was still a large garden that greeted her in the courtyard, but the inside of the church had been remodeled to be bigger and grander. The piano she used to play has also changed. It had been changed to a new model, with better quality of course.Cheryl missed the time when she was a little girl who often played the piano in church.She instantly regretted that she rarely visited this churc

    Her heart still skipped a beat whenever she recalled the brief conversation between Sister Esther and Mrs Catalina a few moments ago. It felt as if something was driving her to find out about something... that she had never realized before."What's wrong?" Mateo turned his head, looking at her with a frown on his forehead.Cheryl squeaked in surprise. She gave Mateo a quick glance, then shook her head slowly."You look like you've just seen a ghost. What's wrong?" Veronica asks almost the same question."I..." She looked around her at the churchyard where Mrs Catalina had just come out and walked into a black car guarded by four black bodyguards."What's wrong?" Mateo looked at her seriously. He followed the direction of her eyes, who was watching the window. However, just before Mateo looked out, Mrs Catalina’s car had already driven past them.Cheryl could see Veronica staring at the car that passed them. She seemed to recognize the black car with the RFW logo on it.Instantly Chery

    "Mateo, please help me," Cheryl gave Mateo a pleading look, "I need to see Rafael. Tell me where and how I can meet him because… I've been calling him since a few hours ago, but he's not picking up my calls."Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Mateo wince in surprise at the suddenness of the sentence she said while they were having dinner together.She spent the whole afternoon thinking about all this and only found the courage at dinner time. She knew that what she had asked Mateo was... shocking. However, this is what happened, and she couldn't stop the thousands of questions that had been running through her head since her meeting with Mrs. Catalina."Wait, what are you talking about?" Mateo raised one eyebrow, giving her a surprised look.Cheryl took a deep breath, knowing that his question showed how crazy her mind was at the moment. However, she didn't care. The only thing she wanted to do was to meet Rafael to ask him about what really happened.The thing she had believed in

    "Wow, spoiled Princess is really coming here," Beatrice flashed a mocking smile as she leaned against the black car she had parked right in front of the steps of Cheryl’s private jet, "I thought you were just joking when you said you were coming here."Cheryl snorted in annoyance. Honestly, she wanted to reply to Beatrice's mocking, but she remembered that she needed that woman's help right now. Even though she feels annoyed, she must humble herself and follow that annoying woman's game."I don’t want to talk about shit. So, where can I meet Rafael?" Cheryl stopped before her, giving her an exasperated look while snorting softly."Easy, girl! You're in such a hurry. What's the matter? Why do you want to meet my cousin after you went to dump him along with your arrogant boyfriend?" Beatrice's eyes flashed with anger.Cheryl crossed her arms in front of her chest. She was showing Alejandro's arrogance and pride."I want Rafael! Now!"Beatrice stifled a laugh when she saw Cheryl's behavi

    Cheryl's eyes widened in fear as she gazed into the lobby of the TARTARUS hotel, which was directly connected to the secret room where ElWagner's secret leaders met. There was a dark hallway that led to the top floor, a lobby reserved for the leaders. The floor wasn't even listed in the elevator. She had to use the elevator to get to the top floor. After that, she had to walk to a hidden passage behind the hotel's managing director's room, and then she could use the private elevator to get to the top floor.She didn't know for sure, but it seemed like the hotel director was also one of the people involved with ElWagner. Or perhaps, the director of TARTARUS was one of the secret leaders.She doesn't know about it, and she doesn't want to know anything. The only thing she wanted to know was where and how she could meet Rafael.That’s why she comes here…The tapping sound of high heels broke the silence on the floor.

    Cheryl looked up at the seven masked men sitting around the rectangular table in front of her. At the far end, she could see Beatrice who was staring at her with wide eyes. Even though she wears masks, Cheryl can recognize her easily.Seven masked people. Cheryl muttered in her heart. She remembered that Beatrice said there were eight secret leaders. Then, why were there only seven people wearing masks?Besides the seven masked people, there were several other people sitting at the big table.Silence. They bowed their heads deeply. Not a single sound could be heard. Even she couldn't hear the sound of their breathing.Cheryl swallowed her saliva. Crazy. Beatrice was right. Even though Mateo was one of the secret leaders, that man didn't react at all when he saw her sitting on Rafael's lap. She couldn't even find her brother among the six masked men.Where was Mateo? Did he really not care about her?"Rafael," Cheryl muttered under her breath, raising her head to look at Rafael who was

She cried—crying was the only thing she could do. Seeing the destruction of ElWagner unfold before her eyes made her realize that the best ElWagner agents had sacrificed themselves for her— for her ambition."That's okay, Cheryl. You can cry," Carlos comforted her, holding her close even as they got into the car.She fell silent for a long time. She couldn't stop her tears, especially when she realized she was now in Carlos's arms."Why did it have to happen?" she muttered in a heartbreaking voice."Relax, you don't need to think about anything. Everything is right, Cheryl. You're with me again," Carlos whispered as he kissed her cheek."You left me, Carlos.""No, I am not," Carlos shook his head. "Not anymore. I apologize for my mistakes.

Rafael's trusted snipers, who had launched an attack on the mansion, had captured Liam Fernandez, who was now being held hostage in his office.The night wind struck Cheryl's face, making her shiver in the cold. Once again, she tightened her jacket. For the first time in her life, she carried a gun.

    There's one thing Cheryl learned as an Alejandro—she doesn't give up easily, and she doesn't forgive easily. She has big ambitions, and she has the courage to do whatever she wants. Just like her decision to stay with Carlos because she believed she loved him—although she didn't. She didn't love him, but she felt owed to Carlos, so she forced herself to believe that she loved him.But now, things have changed. She is no longer just an Alejandro; she's also a Wagner. So, there's no reason for her to be afraid."I found this data three days ago, but everything is still unclear," Beatrice showed a long analysis dataset.Cheryl furrowed her brows, reading the data on Beatrice's iPad and trying to understand a confusing family tree diagram of Wagner’s family. It starts from the ancestors of the Wagner family and goes down to Rafael. Even her name was in the data. However, there was something else in the data that looked suspicious."It does look confusing, but in short, Eros Wagner apparen

    The night wind swept through Cheryl's hair as she lay on the rooftop, making her shiver from the cold for daring to lie there in the middle of the night. The words spoken by Beatrice and Mateo kept replaying in her mind, adding to her torment—making her suffer even more.Every breath, every heartbeat, and even every passing second felt increasingly painful when she knew the cause of Rafael's accident. It was her. She was the cause. Rafael left because of her. It was all her fault. Everyone was crying and suffering because of her.Rafael's presence had been like a miracle to her. But, on the contrary, she had become the source of his suffering.With her weak body and pale face, she walked to the edge of the rooftop. Every memory they had spent in this place played in her mind. She looked out over the vast forest expanse at the rooftop's edge. Maybe she wouldn't hesitate to jump off if she wasn't pregnant. But now, her situation was much more complicated. She had to stay alive when she

    "I will announce Rafael's death one week from now," Ares' firm voice shattered the silence in the dining room.Everyone froze, staring at Ares with bated breath, except for one person: Cheryl."How dare you?! Don't you dare announce anything other than good news when Rafael returns," Catalina retorted with a sharp gaze."What do you expect? We can't keep waiting. How long will we be like this? Didn't we already release the flowers into the sea two days ago? Isn't that enough for you?" Ares responded."There's still a chance he's alive! I don't care about flowers or anything you say. I don't even care about your concerns for your company heir. But don't you dare announce my son's death!" Catalina's breath raced as she stared at Ares with a palpable gaze. "We just need to wait a little longer. There will be good news. Haven't the search team found—""Three bodies in nearly unrecognizable condition?" Ares cut in swiftly.

    Days passed in a blur. One day after hearing the news about Rafael's plane, Cheryl fell ill. She had a fever, and her condition didn't get better even after a week had passed. And during that time, there was not a single word about Rafael. His plane, his whereabouts, and even how he was doing. Everything still seemed vague. There was no certainty whatsoever. There was no trace as if his plane had simply disappeared.Almost all the news on TV, the internet, and newspapers was filled with the news of the crash of Europe WGR's heir. Everyone was curious about the accident, and some of them even predicted that Rafael's plane had crashed due to bad weather. Therefore, three days ago, the search was carried out by combing the sea area to find clues about his whereabouts.In contrast to them, Cheryl hoped that the wreck of Rafael's plane was not found. The plane didn't crash. Rafael was alive, breathing and fine. He was on the other side of the world, and he would only take a little while to

    Cheryl stared at the food in front of her with an annoyed look. It had been almost three hours since she had sat alone at the table, but Rafael had not arrived.Their last conversation was five hours ago when she had just finished training with Theodore. Now, all her cooking was done, beautifully arranged on the table, while her fingers were covered with plaster cuts from holding the knife. She had done all this for Rafael, to welcome him home like any other wife would. However, he did not come. Even their communication devices have been disconnected since she turned them off a few hours ago.Gosh, she regretted turning that thing off. Rafael must have been upset with her, so he turned off their phone connection."Rafael,"There was no answer.Cheryl exhaled in annoyance."You're late, and I'm really mad at you."Even though she knew that Rafael did not hear her voice, she kept talking— babbling like crazy."I won't forgive you.

    "Who sent you?!" The shout echoed through the Dominggos family mansion located in Canada.Carlos Dominggos stared angrily at the crowd of bodyguards pointing guns at him. Meanwhile, hundreds of Dominggos family bodyguards had been taken down outside his room. Some of them were lying helplessly on the floor."Answer me! Is it that damn Rafael?! Or maybe Ares Wagner?!" He shouted again. Despite his anger, he kept his hands behind his head—just as he had done to the ElWagner agents surrounding him. There was no choice. He was now trapped inside his mansion while ElWagner carried out a massive massacre of his bodyguards, killing them and turning his mansion into a horrible pool of blood.Silence. No one made a sound until an approaching footstep broke the silence in the room. "More precisely, the leader of ElWagner—Rafael Wagner." Rafael greeted while walking with a sharp gaze. His terrifying face was suffocating even without carrying a gun like the bodyguards did. He strode calmly in a b

    "You're leaving again?" Cheryl frowned when she saw Rafael already dressed in his suit at 7 a.m. His hair was slicked back, and he looked handsome and gorgeous."Yes, I have a meeting with ElWagner's secret leaders."When she heard Rafael's work agenda, she felt her heart skip a beat.Even though she knew that Rafael had competent bodyguards like Theodore and Lex, she still couldn't calm down when she learned that he was going to ElWagner's headquarters in Canada."It's December 28th. Can't you take the end of the year off to spend time with her?"Rafael turned his head, then smiled briefly at her, "I'll go straight home tomorrow. After that, I won't be working again until early next year. Are you happy, Princess?""Can I come to Canada?"Rafael frowned, "Don't you have an event with Mommy Carissa today?
