She was supposed not to be lost...That one sentence seems to have added more pain to my heart. I am responsible for every single action. I take my responsibility more seriously than others. However, watching the girl I am supposed to protect has been missing for the last ten minutes, my blood rushes inside my brain.I will go crazy any moment." No sign of her walking away from this store? Not even in any CCTV camera footage?"My silent, cold, and calm voice sends a message into Ben's brain. He needs backup before something happens. Or he will witness the destructive storm right here. " Calm down. I will find her within half an hour. Trust me!"He assures, his fingers intensely dialing the emergency number. He needs urgent backups.I scan the area, repeatedly, making sure a single hint doesn't get away from my sight.Imagining the footsteps of Maria when I walk slowly toward the door. According to the footage, Maria's eye direction was left side of the door. She was looking at some
Marquis's P.O.V..." Let's get divorced...!" When Oryx slammed the divorce papers on the table, I looked up, as I closed my laptop. Her eyes are red-rimmed, her puffy eyes are unsettled and somehow welled up. The stern expression on her face didn't go well as she always kept a soft gesture whenever we met. Yes, her declaring her love for me wasn't a joke, I am sure about it. On top of that, I am guilty of doing everything to her. She deserves my apology but my plan will be in vain if I apologize. " You said you want two years!" I ask, lifting the papers from the table. She had already prepared for divorce a long time ago. The preparation date for the paperwork is the day after our wedding. Did she know that we won't make it?" I don't need. I realize loving is nothing but a waste of time. I better sleep around with someone else instead of waiting for my husband who has another woman in the same house living with me!" She speaks in a calm and unbothered expression. Her sharp tone
" Did you see her eyes when she looked at you? As if you are her entire world. Every time you hurt her, she doesn't hate you but she complains through her eyes. How can you tell me to stay calm? You told me for Maria's sake, you will love me. Is this what you are doing?" Those words Liliana has been using to nag, she said those words yesterday too. Even when I slapped Oryx, she said those words. How can a person's world be another person? Especially someone like me?However, Those repeated words seemingly felt meaningless when Liliana first said them. But once I started noticing her eyes, Liliana's words started echoing my heart Those eyes indeed hold thousands of complaints about me. But, I don't want to see them as serious as it looks. After all, it's still meaningless to me. " If you are done. Please go to Maria and try to talk to her. You are her mother. But she doesn't like you. You should make an effort to get along with her!"This is concerning. Maria doesn't like to talk to
Narrator's POV...The sound of rolling Luggage seems to have gotten stronger. Oryx turns while having her dinner. Her eyes meet Liliana who is walking towards the door with Maria. The expression on Maria's face shows her rebellion against her mother.Earlier, she didn't allow Maria to talk. She doesn't want Maria to be so close to her whilst avoiding her own mother. She isn't selfish to take someone's child, at least." Liliana! Stop. This is your family. OK? She will leave once we break off the relationship!"Marquis who doesn't have any idea that Oryx is having dinner, can hear him, shout. " I don't care. How can I possibly see my daughter getting close to a random woman? Kick her out or kick me out. I am not..." Her words stop as she coughs weakly again. Her pale expression is giving away her health issues. " Let's calmly talk. We will find a way to solve the problems."Those certain words reach out to the person who is supposed to hear, them for good. Her almond eyes fall on the
" You know that you can't get out of our clutch no matter how strong you are! Do you wish to see a lifeless body as you have imagined last night?" Her heartbeat dropped as well as her shoulder when her mother placed her phone on the table. Indeed, there is a report file about her child being born in their hospital. " I want you to give two bags of blood today. Since you are my daughter, I can't punish you more. And stop searching for that bastard who destroyed your youth. What a shameful thing to our family!" " How did you know I was searching for the man that night?" She asks as her eyes dilate with shock." Hah! You still have the strength to ask. As I said I am your mother and I know you better than anyone does. " She snorts. "You ever threatened your father. Do you think just knowing how to use a gun can help you kill us? You can't even kill a fly. " She scoffs rolling her eyes." Stop dreaming of becoming a police officer. And be a good housewife and give birth to the heir of
" Can't you make time to have dinner with me?" " No!"" For once!"" I am sorry!""Oryx!!!" the agonizing voice echoes..." Sorry! I have to attend a family dinner with my husband! I have to go!"She hangs up on the person whose voice echoes the agony. 'I like you, but I don't have any chance to be with you' Those words were distinct in his voice.But what can she do more? Her life doesn't belong to her either. So is her heart. She has fallen in love with the wrong person, and she has regretfully given her entire heart which is unable to fall in love with someone else.Because,She is scared...Placing the phone on the bed, she opens the closet to grab a suitable dress for dinner. Although her body is hating so much to move. Her back is hurt. Probably has left some bruises after getting hit.However, she must attend the dinner.She grabs a silk dress and turns to walk towards the changing room. She gasps when Marquis enters the room without any sound and grabs her neck. His eyes are
" What did you say?" Oryx gasps as she receives a call. " Someone attacked Miss Liliana and Maria. Maria is in a coma now. Miss Liliana's left hand got fractured!"" You must be kidding me. This is a highly secured area. Nobody can enter." She speaks coldly before grabbing her purse. Her eyes go to her parents and Marquis's parents who are waving at her to say goodbye. Forcing a fake smile, she waves her hand and walks out of the restaurant. " Did you check the CCTV footage? Go to the monitor room and check who did it!" she asked while hopping the car." We are sorry, Ma'am! All footage is deleted."Being speechless, she starts driving. No wonder in the middle of the dinner, Marquis left. Someone attacked in this strictly prohibited area where only a few people are allowed to visit. This doesn't make sense to her. Also, the entire house is surrounded by guards. So, it was done by someone from internal control. " Try to restore them. No matter what and how long you need, try to rest
" How did my parents know that I was searching for that man? Because it's only you who knows about it?" The steam fades into the thin air in the bar, as she sips the coffee. Her sharp eyes are on Ben who is standing still as if he is caught in something unmovable." Wh... What are you talking about?" Ben shudders, clenching the tray that he is holding tightly. But the cold sweat on his forehead and those unfocused eyes are giving away his lies. " Do you know what I hate most? Betrayal. Whether I do or not it should be within my personal space. Why did you tell my parents about it?" Her cold eyes shift, staring at Ben. Swallowing hard, Ben places the tray on the table and sits down." I didn't know who they were. Once they introduced themselves. I was worried that they might have learned about your job." He sighs sharply, rubbing his neck. " But it wasn't. They found out that I hacked their system and collected information."" What a lousy Hacker you are!" she scoffs finishing her
" I brought you some fruits. You should eat more healthy!"Mr Williamson places a basket of fresh fruits. All of them are Mrs Williamson's favourite fruits. Today is visiting day and Mr Williamson like another week, didn't forget to visit his wife." Why are you here? I told you not to come here anymore!" Mrs Williamson hangs her head down, pinching her nails while avoiding his eye contact." Today is your son's wedding. They are trying to start afresh. Although they don't remember you anymore, they don't feel any emptiness thankfully." " Are you trying to mock me?" Mrs Williamson hisses, eyes are filled with tears." Yes. Because you deserve more than just mocking. You should know, that you are nothing but the worst memory in our lives."" Enough! Leave! I didn't ask you to come here and nag. Don't come to visit me anymore!" Mrs Williamson yells, almost grabbing the basket to throw. But she stops seeing her husband's cold and emotionless face." I will visit. Until you take your las
Marquis buries his face on his wife's chest who fell asleep while hugging a book. Her scent drives him crazy, but it gives him the feeling of home. His only place where he can find himself, he discovers himself every day." You are back," Oryx opens her eyes slightly, running her fingers through his hair. " Yes. Mrs Williamson! I am back!" He kisses her cleavage and grins. " What did Dad say? Will he move in?" " With a condition! Of course!" " What condition? Is he okay? He must be stressed!" " He wants us to get married again!" Marquis laughs slightly, "Getting married? Why? We are already married!"" He wants us to get married with full of love. This time, with a confirmed happy ending. Don't you want to?" Oryx's smile disappears as she remembers about their wedding. It was enough hard for her to keep on. But she did." I am sorry!" Marquis notices her expression and immediately apologizes." No. Don't be. Let's do this. Let's get re-married. This time, you must kiss me and
" You sure?" Marquis's eyes widen in surprise..." I am..." she grins." No. Really? Are you sure you want to work with me?"" Am I not suitable for your com-?"Oryx's eyes shut with a smash against her soft lips. Marquis gives her a quick but passionate kiss before cupping her face..." I will make you my personal assistant. You will always be in front of my eyes, safe and sound. I will be able to protect you from everyone. You will -"Oryx blinks her eyes, trying to understand the summary of his words... " So for my safety, you asked me to quit my job!" Marquis pauses momentarily before rubbing his nape, " I am thinking of giving the responsibility to Vasquez and the Government. So that I can keep us away from the trouble. I want my kids to grow up in a quiet and peaceful place. Maria went through the same situation twice. They're kids. It will hurt them and give them nightmares! So-"" I understand!" Oryx smiles, " That's why I have been thinking about the same situation."" Are y
Somehow crawling his heavy body, he walks into the house where he found his heaven on earth. Closing the door, his exhausted eyes scan the house. Within three seconds, the footsteps rhythmically create a beautiful forever familiar melody. Someone will bring a glass of juice from the refrigerator and speak..." You are home! I asked the Chef to prepare something less fatty today for you. Have the juice and take a quick shower. We will have dinner together!"However...It's not happening today. Nobody comes, the woman with grey hair, with lots of smiling lines or creases on her forehead, doesn't create a melody in the stairwells. Mr Williamson exhales sharply, his shoulder drops as he throws himself on the couch. Before his eyes, his heavenly beautiful family is no more. The woman who he showered with love doesn't exist anymore." Master! I prepared the bath." The butler speaks..." Carlan! You have been with Madam Williamson most of the time. Didn't you know she gave birth to two chil
" I... I am sorry!" Mrs Williamson whispers constantly, her eyes are on Marquis who stands with no emotions and feelings for her situation. " I... I thought -" she tried to speak but...Mr Williamson holds her hands, gently stroking the back of her hand... "You had a long time to think about everything. Thinking about trusting my words and taking a secret paternity test to clear your doubts? But, Love! You chose to keep ignorant. You used my family's worst history. You even used that horrific situation that my parents had to go through. You knew that Sarah was nothing but a servant. Yet you tried to destroy everything. But... Honey! Have you ever turned and seen that everything that you wanted to destroy is actually your handmade family? You were the one working hard on the company, you raised Marquis in the best way possible and it's you who were supposed to get the best position as a grandmother. Is it worth keeping hatred towards your own family?"" I... I am sorry!"" Some matter
" Sonya!!!" Mr Williamson roars, his eyes filled with tears for the first time in his life after marrying the woman of his life." Are you out of mind? Do you know what you are talking about?" His voice cracks and his throat gets heavier." I know, perfectly. And, you, The rude, arrogant Marquis Williamson, I am not your mother-"" ENOUGH!!!! SONYA! NO MORE NONSENSE. JUST ENOUGH!" Mr Williamson shuts her mouth, almost raising his hand. " You will regret it if you do another stupid thing!" Mr Williamson softens his voice, " So don't do something crazy!" he pleads." You can't hide the truth forever. If you didn't kill my family and my lover, I would have a great family with my Love of life and my only son, Graham. I wouldn't have to plan everything to kill you and your family. So, I don't regret doing this."Marquis, whose world is already splitting apart, looks at his father for an explanation. He wants to know the reason for everything before he sends both of them to hell. He must t
His eyes are on the red light, forever frozen, nothing can interrupt the stoned body which has lost its movements. William already informed me that the kids will be alright after they go through the therapy as soon as possible. Marquis just nodded silently, his heart was with his wife who he couldn't see right now even if he wanted to.Nobody told him exactly what happened to Oryx. So, the more time is ticking, the more overthinking, and all of the fear and anxiety bestowed upon him, make him momentarily freeze on his spot.His weak knees don't support him to walk near the door. Leaning his back against the wall, he keeps sitting on the floor, his eyes are on the light above the room." Marquis! Son! Are you alright?" Mr Williamson rushes to his son and crouches down. His eyebrows raise with Surprise, feeling the vibration of his son's body. Marquis is trembling violently." Son! What just happened?" Pulling his son into his arms, Mr. Williamson confusedly stares at the name of the
" Mom?" His voice doesn't reach out to the individual who pushed his wife, right before his eyes. His throat feels the pressure of swallowing pain, the mother who he loved and trusted more than anyone is now standing before his eyes, proudly after pushing his wife.His shaky knees move, but his attention goes to Gallian, who is limping and blood is oozing out of his forehead, moves to his mother, with the knife. Subconsciously, his hand raises, " Mother! Watch-"" Thank you for coming in the right time, Mom. She is really strong."Now his entire world collapses, his enemy just called his mother, Mom?Unable to understand what is happening, his shaky pupils watch Gallian holding the gun, pointing to Oryx who is in the pool of blood." I should call Marquis to come here. You finish her before he reaches!"Mrs Williamson grabs her phone and speaks to Gallian whose finger reaches the trigger.The moment, his mother presses the dial, the moment his phone rings, the same moment two sounds
After leaving with Rachel Doe, Marquis has yet to reach home. They are on their way to his house which is far away from Mr. Doe's residence and what creates trouble more for them is the road is surrounded by a large field of Hays. However, it doesn't take as much time as much as it is taking right now. " Both routes are blocked. Boss!" William suspects something is wrong and on both sides of the road, there are two accidents on two roads. That's why too coincidental to believe. This is the only place where the high way divided into two roads, one goes to the city and the other is the VIP area where all the rich people reside. " William! Send our people to clean the road, ASAP!" Marquis grits frustratedly. He must arrive at his house before something happens.William gets out of the car, calling his team to gather around the area. Meanwhile, Rachel scoffs, enjoying the view, " What a great lover and father! Look at your sweat! My Man surely will be happy to see you in this positi
