"Every morning, the romantic couple, still deeply in love after two years of marriage, goes to and returns from the office together. Even when Kylie occasionally has to work overtime to finish her tasks, Joe faithfully waits for his wife, relaxing in the lobby.

"Aw, waiting for the wife, huh?" teased one of Joe's colleagues one afternoon as he once again found Joe waiting for Kylie to finish her work.

"Of course. Unlike you, who enjoys being single," Joe replied, teasing his still-bachelor college.

'Damn,just because you're married, you always bully the singles. Find a partner, will you?" retorted the colleague.

Joe chuckled and joked, "That's because you're too picky. Just go for whatever is available."

"Seriously! It's like swatting flies!" His colleague left, heading to the parking lot ahead of Joe.

Joe shook his head. He often wondered why young people delayed getting married for whatever reasons. Doesn't religion guide men to marry early to control their desires?

    "Darling, can I go home now? I'll pick you up later!" Joe said, bidding farewell to Kylie, who had to work late again. He mentioned that it was likely Kylie would work until nine in the evening due to some tasks that needed to be completed that night.Despite being busy, Kylie took a moment to approach her husband. She felt sorry for the man who had to wait for her daily. "Sure. Or if you're tired, you can go to sleep first. I'll take a taxi home later.""Impossible, Darling. Would you let your beautiful wife go home alone?" Joe teased, quickly kissing Kylie's cheek. Knowing that Kylie would give him a stern look in response, Joe immediately ran out.Kylie never wanted to display their intimacy as a married couple in public. She considered it inappropriate, especially in the office, where Kylie was always cautious of surveillance cameras.After running quite a distance, Chuckling, Joe looked back at his wife. As he expected, Kylie was giving him a disapproving look. However, a moment

    Arriving at the nearest inn, Joe entered ahead and booked a room for a woman named Monica. A stranger who immediately caught Joe's attention in a captivating way. Oh my! Several times, his eyes couldn't help but be drawn to the enchanting figure beside him."For two people, Sir?" the inn attendant confirmed."Huh? No, just one person. Go ahead, Miss, provide your information," Joe signalled to Monica to step forward and fill out the necessary registration details.There was a hint of blush on Joe's face. He couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to be in a room with Monica. Oh my! Joe tried to dispel these inappropriate thoughts as he continued to seek refuge in his heart.Especially as his eyes continued to be treated to the sight of Monica's beautiful figure in her tight mini-dress, good grief, it was a heavy temptation for every man's eyes. Joe pondered angrily while trying hard to guard his gaze."Alright, Miss. Please settle the payment to exchange for the room key," the

    "Darling, why are you just coming home?"Feeling extremely worried, Kylie greeted her husband's return with such a question. She didn't even shake hands with the man.A sense of guilt immediately grew in Joe's heart. His wife, with all her worries, was waiting at home while he was momentarily captivated by the beauty of another woman outside.Once again, he sought forgiveness in his heart, especially when the image of the charming Monica didn't fade from his mind, even though now he was facing Kylie – the wife he deeply loved."Darling?" Kylie called, waving her hand right in front of Joe's face, who hadn't given any response. It seemed like something was occupying his mind. "Do you have something important? Why did you come home so late?"Joe managed to regain control of himself. He smiled sweetly at Kylie and embraced the woman. "Just met an old friend, Darling. You took a taxi back, right?""Yes, I took a taxi."They entered the house, and Kylie promptly prepared water for her husb

    "Oh my God! Why the rush, Bro? Where are you headed, Joe?" David, Joe's colleague, cursed in annoyance as they nearly collided when Joe hastily exited the office."Oops, sorry, Bro. Haha, I'm in a hurry. Got some business!" Joe replied, shouting as he briefly glanced at David.He was leaving his friend to wonder what was going on with Joe."He's not usually in such a hurry like a demon is chasing him!" David muttered, shaking his head, then headed to the office canteen for lunch.Meanwhile, Joe quickened his pace towards his car in the parking lot. He had to get to the inn where Monica stayed yesterday. Fortunately, it was just a short distance from his office. It would be a pity if the woman were hungry and short on money."Sorry, I completely forgot to give you some temporary cash yesterday," Joe apologized regretfully.He immediately invited Monica for lunch at a restaurant in front of the inn. He explained that he hadn't had breakfast yet because he was embarrassed to borrow money

    "Finally done!" exclaimed Kylie, stretching her muscles to feel more relieved. She had just finished her activities of cleaning every corner of the house, washing every room so that her home always smelled fresh.It was Sunday, usually a day off that Kylie and Joe used for exercising. After completing her tasks, Kylie headed to the bedroom to meet her husband. Surely, Joe was already prepared with his workout clothes.However, Kylie was puzzled when she saw her husband wearing neat clothes unsuitable for exercising. Finally, Kylie asked, "Honey, aren't we going to exercise today? It's Sunday! Why are you dressed so nicely? Are you going to work?"Joe, whose hands were busy buttoning his shirt, stopped. He immediately turned to Kylie and smiled sweetly. "No, darling! Of course not. I'm not forget that today is Sunday, and we don't need to go to the office to work!"Kylie moved forward to face her husband directly. Her hands took over Joe's to button up his grey shirt. "So why did you d

    "Oh my God! You're so absurd!" Joe retorted, refocusing on driving. They were on a quiet road, so he had pulled over easily to recover from the shock of Monica's statement."How am I absurd? I do want to be your wife. I believe I can live a better life under your guidance. I'm sure because I see, Joe, you're so good as a husband," Monica elaborated, emphasizing her words. Joe, in turn, shook his head in disbelief, wondering about the basis of her thoughts."But there are still many single men out there who would want you, Monica!" Joe, once again, expressed his disapproval. He believed Monica should not dare to speak like that to a married man. Yet... why did he feel a sense of pride and joy when he first heard it? Oh God! Something was wrong with his heart, Joe pondered."I've met many men. Most of them only wanted my body," Monica lamented with a bitter tone. "They didn't care about my job. I want a life like other women, sheltered by their husbands, feeling safe and guided to becom

After returning from the mall, Joe promptly dropped Monica off at her accommodation. For now, that place was the safest for Monica.Joe then prohibited Monica from going back to the karaoke place. Instead, he always gave her money and had already bought her a phone for everyday use. Joe didn't want to label what he and Monica were doing as an affair, but he realized that what he had done couldn't be justified.A shiver ran down his spine as he thought about the possibility of Kylie finding out about his actions. Indeed, she would be deeply disappointed."Aren't you coming in? Although it's an inn, I'm free to bring guests inside! Because people staying here often bring their friends in freely, the owner never minds!" Monica offered before getting out of Joe's car.The invitation Monica gave sounded very tempting, and there was a strong desire in Joe's heart to nod his he

    "Hello, Honey. Have you finished your overtime?" Joe spoke into the phone as Kylie called him. Remembering, he told Monica to be silent. He couldn't let Monica make any noise that Kylie might hear.On the other end, Kylie replied, "Darling, it seems like I'm going to work overtime until 09:00. Is it okay if I add an hour? Because my work is not finished yet, and if I pile it up for tomorrow, I'll be overwhelmed."Joe took a long breath, but he felt a bit happy. If Kylie extended her overtime, Joe could spend more time with Monica. Finally, he replied, "Yes, that's okay. When you're done, call me, Honey!"After that, their phone conversation ended. Joe put his phone back in his pocket. Kylie was busy; even coming home had to be postponed. But it didn't matter for now because Joe was at Monica's inn."What's your wife's position in the company, Mas? Why does it seem like she's so busy, working overtime almost daily like this?"That was a question posed by Monica as she took her seat nex

Despite the difficulty, Celine continued to chase after her princess.

    Not hearing Joe's response to her question convinced Kylie that it was true. That the real reason was Joe being tempted by the charm of the karaoke hostess. "Oh God...," Kylie moaned. She was still accompanied by sobs that seemed endless from her red lips. "You're so heartless!" she protested angrily. Honestly, Kylie never expected that her husband, who in her mind was always gentle and deeply in love with her, would have intentions to betray their sacred love! Her mind refused to accept it. "I can't believe that you have such rotten behaviour. At home, I pretend to be gentle and full of love for myself, but outside, I shower the same love to another woman. Even a karaoke hostess gets a share of your affection!" Kylie continued to curse while seeking forgiveness repeatedly. Her heart was in pain. Very painful, indeed; she couldn't describe how hurtful it was when the fleeting temptation of a karaoke hostess overshadowed her pure love and dedication! For a wife, there is no more s

    After fully understanding her husband's intentions, Kylie's body automatically rose. Even the table in front of her shifted due to her movements. With an unconsciously gasping breath, Kylie looked towards Joe with a poignant and sharp gaze."You want to get married again? Hahaha! Don't joke!"Kylie tried to laugh, although it felt like the laughter coming from her mouth was very bitter. She tried to think positively, assuming that Joe was joking or trying to surprise her with some emotional twist. Unfortunately, Joe still looked very serious.The man stood up. His eyes glanced anxiously at Kylie as if afraid that the woman before him would explode."Kylie, please listen to me first. I am not joking at all. There is a woman who needs my guidance, so I want to marry her to ensure that our closeness doesn't turn into a sin."Kylie blinked her eyes several times; a thousand pains seemed to pierce her heart. Yet, what Joe revealed might not even be true. She gazed at the face of the man wh

    Spontaneously, Monica covered her mouth, unintentionally shocked by what had just been said by the man who had been filling her days recently—the man whom she had targeted to be her life support."Did I hear it correctly? Do you want to marry me?" That was the only question her tongue could muster, suddenly feeling stiff.Joe stared into Monica's eyes intensely,"Listen first. I mean, I want to ask permission from Kylie first, whether she allows me to marry you—""But of course, she has to agree. You have the right to make choices. Besides, religion doesn't prohibit it, right?" Monica interrupted with great joy.She almost couldn't contain herself from jumping with happiness.However, in front of her, Joe shook his head, making Monica pout because she didn't understand what the man meant by being so elaborate. Wasn't it the man's right as the husband to make decisions in his household?"That's not the correct concept, Monica. I am indeed the husband and have the right to decide the di

    "Darling, where were you? I've been looking for you!"Kylie asked as she met her husband in front of the office building. Surprisingly, this made Joe, who had just returned from Monica's place, panic.With a tense expression, Joe immediately embraced Kylie's shoulders and said, "Darling, I had lunch outside. Lately, you've been so busy and always eating in your room. So, I thought you didn't want to eat with me!"It was okay if they didn't eat together because of Kylie's recent busyness. However, knowing that her husband had eaten elsewhere, Kylie felt confused.The woman, who always appeared in public wearing a hijab, asked, "Where did you eat? I had prepared your lunch as usual. Why didn't you eat that?"Joe grimaced, just remembering the packed lunch. When he went for lunch at Monica's place, Joe would usually ask his colleague to eat the packed lunch prepared by Kylie. But yesterday, Joe forgot to do so, and Kylie must have noticed the untouched lunchbox.Guiding his wife back int

    On that afternoon during lunchtime, Joe was startled by the noticeable transformation in Monica's appearance. He spontaneously stared at the beauty of God's creation embodied in Monica's figure, now adorned in a soft salmon-coloured modern gown with a simple design that perfectly complemented her body.Her beautiful face was covered with a matching ssawl, styled how Kylie usually wore her pashmina. Instantly, Joe felt as if he were seeing Kylie's twin but in a more attractive package, as Monica's curves were still entirely exposed.For a moment, the time he seemed to stand still. Joe's desires, which he had been trying to suppress, ignited passionately. The sight presented by Vioan tempted his faith to its core. It seemed as though he was genuinely captivated by Monica's undeniable charm."Joe? Do you think I look good in this outfit?" Monica asked with an uncertain gaze. She intentionally displayed a shy smile to appear like a maiden seeking approval from her beloved. My goodness! Mo
