As the wind of dawn peeks into the room, her eyelids tremble involuntarily to part away. With a strong headache, her eyes slowly open. Her hand reaches to her head, slightly pressing the forehead.Properly opening her eyes, she scans the room which leaves her feeling Deja vu as she finds herself in the bed of a stranger. " This is not my room!" she whispers trying to get up. But her eyes move to her left hand. An IV drop is attached to her hand." What's going on?" She whispers, looking around the room. " You are up!" She startles when a familiar voice speaks. He with slow and steady steps approaches her holding a tray. Covering herself with the blanket, she keeps alert. No matter how people familiar can be, in this situation, all she can do is see them as her enemy. She doesn't want to risk anything because of some mistakes. " Gallian? What are you doing here? Where am I?" The green orbs of his eyes glint with a sharp gaze. Placing the porridge on the nightstands, he grabs the
Aren't all female protagonists blessed with a smooth life? A very familiar path, struggle, get someone who will support you all the way to the end and a very happy ending. However, does life actually show it that easily? What if the Female protagonist becomes the villain here?Her eyes are on the phone screen, the nightmare that she always wanted to avoid. It is getting involved with any kind of scandalous incidents. All she wants to have a simple life here, but someone is out there, who wants to make things hard for her. " Despite being in a tight position, you must think about her, Marquis! She might have her own reasons. Support her!"Hearing those words from Liliana, it didn't feel like a consolation or hope to see her Beloved support her.It tasted like a bitter mockery from the Female Protagonist to the Villainess, who always appears as a saint and everyone's favorite, and represents Villainess as the Evil here. However, it makes her feel pathetic, to hear the person she cher
" We tried to interrogate the Reporter who followed you there. But he has the same answer every time. Someone sent him the location! It's from an anonymous sender and unable to locate!"Ben places the cup of coffee on the table as he speaks. No matter how much she tries to think about it, it feels so odd that reporters or paparazzi can find them moving at midnight. Especially the route they use is Exceptional. However,. except for someone who was following them from the very beginning." Did you receive Gallian's call? He has been trying to reach you out! Must be worried about you!"" I don't precisely care about him. No matter what he broke the rules. Me being sick or not it's totally my fault and I will get published for this. But he taking me to his house was a ridiculous idea!" " Well, we can't deny. However, he did because he was worried about you. I wouldn't have left Someone I like!"" But you should know boundaries when the person you like is married. At least you should give
Oryx can always hide her true feelings no matter what is going on with her life. Ben has known her since she started working with his brother-in-law. Among all their coworkers, she chose Ben to get along with and share her all problems with. Not because Ben is a hacker, but because she knows the deepest secrets of Ben's entire family.Generally, she looks like another normal beautiful woman in the city, hoping to get her ultimate life. But those who know her pretty well can tell that, Oryx's true feelings never be able to be discovered.However, Recently, Oryx's anxiety and stress for her husband's daughter is undeniably strong. She doesn't care about herself, she doesn't want to know about her husband's deepest secrets to trap him. All she does is protect.Love changes people. And it is proven. Despite having no relationship with the child, she is willing to risk her own life to save her. But, who is going to save Oryx?Ben sighs deeply, watching her sleeping at the desk. The coffee
" Aren't you being hard on yourself?"Gallian grabs her hand to walk her through the auction area as they are going to participate as married couples. " Please restrain your curiosity when we are in business! Please lead the way, Honey!"Gallian sighs deeply watching her being in her straight face, as professional as a person can be. The disguise they are in belongs to dead couples who died a few years ago. There is no data about their identity in the database, so it is perfect for them to use." Are you going to buy that necklace?" Gallian asks, his eyes scanning people who are walking behind or ahead of them. " I heard it's a rare diamond. I don't mind!"She responds with a polite and loving tone. " I can buy it for you. If you wish, If you REALLY wish!"Oryx's eyes go to Gallian who is staring at her profoundly. No acting or any faking. He blushed when she spoke lovingly, and now she can see his flustered face. " Thank you!" She responds dryly, and strides inside.Everyone in
At night...Oryx's eyes are on the torn-apart box that he ordered online. Her jaws clenched finding her favourite vase that she found after two months of searching on the floor, shattered into pieces. She was preparing to gift it to one of her Chinese friends who likes to collect antiques. " What did you do with my vase?" Her body shakes with anger, unable to hold it in.Liliana who is staring at the pieces of Vase looks up. " It's just a vase. I can buy you another one. Why are you glaring at me?"She gets up, with no regrets about her complexion. Everyone in this house saw how crazily she opened it and crashed it on the floor without any second thoughts." Buy me another one? Who the hell give you the right to open my parcel, You damn!"Oryx groans in anger, tears unintentionally gathering around her eyes as she realizes she is unable to get this masterpiece again." Did you just curse me for a mere Vase? You shameless wo-"A slap across Liliana's face fell, Oryx didn't want to cho
In the dim-lit bathroom, she surrenders to the cascading cold water, its touch gently embracing her fatigued form. Each drop seemed to carry away the weight of the chaotic day, as her tired eyes flutter shut, granting solace to a soul yearning for respite. With the water's rhythmic cadence in the hushed serenity, her breath finds a haven, a soft snore echoing the arrival of a coveted, eternal sleep.Half an hour later...A barely audible creak announces the door's gentle movement, revealing a figure that enters the room without a whisper. Silhouetted against the muted light. On the nightstand, a diminutive purple box finds its designated space, a subtle addition that speaks volumes in the quiet narrative of the room." Oryx!?"Marquis, his eyes methodically sweeping the room, beckons her name with a tone edged in concern. A symphony of raised eyebrows punctuates his features, an intricate dance of curiosity and worry, drawn toward the unruly water now spilling out of the bathroom, its
In the aftermath of the scandalous incidents yesterday, the pressure is mounting on everyone to make a public appearance as soon as possible. The higher-ups and fellow politicians are pushing for a united front, brushing aside any excuses. "It's your first public appearance as a couple; don't mess things up!" Her mother's stern voice echoes in the changing room as she places a dress before her daughter. The color is scrutinized carefully, with an emphasis on ensuring it complements her body tone. It's a moment of both personal and political significance, with appearances now carrying an added weight.The lingering excuse that Oryx is not yet comfortable with public appearances is no longer valid. The unfolding events have thrust them into the spotlight, demanding a response. The coming public appearance is not just about personal image; it's a strategic move in the political chess game that requires careful consideration and precise execution.Oryx, standing before the mirror, sighs
" 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
