Mattheo's POV"I'll go to his apartment by myself. If the rapist is still there, at least I can beat him up with my own hands." My rage could not subside and continued to heat up. I threw the paper in my hand, creating chaos.The image of my woman being touched by a bastard man, in her pregnant state, how she struggled using her weak hands to leave scratch marks. All of that, boiling inside my head.I felt that if I didn't immediately punch the face of the man who dared to touch my woman, I would go crazy and explode like an atomic bomb."Sir, listen to me for a moment!" Veronica, who had missed my frustrated footsteps, prevented me frantically, pulling at the hem of my nightshirt until her body fell forward."I don't have the right to say this, but are you sure Mrs. Belle will be happy with what you did?" she said. With that sentence, she was able to stop the anger that made my body walk on its own."Madam Belle kept silent despite knowing that the doctor who attended to her wounds,
Robert and my mom, for one. Picking up calls for me is not an advisor's responsibility. Veronica knew very well, not to interfere in her client's personal affairs.But since it was me, her employer, who gave the order, tonight she specially changed her title to Robert, who usually takes care of my personal affairs. I left her alone in the cold hallway of the hospital, with the myriad of missed calls that were now her job.***"Mattheo, this is serious. You have to hear this."The wall that protected the private assets of this office shook at the tip of a man's hand who slammed the door with all his might. One second I was amazed by how strong my step-cousin was, on the other, I was speechless. I could count on one hand how many pale-faced Roberts there were.Whatever it was, the mission I gave him last night had already made him like a mummy."It's bad. Listen to this." Robert immediately opened his briefcase. A laptop whose power was almost touching the red tank played a conversati
Mattheo's POV"What's the guarantee?""The moment you manage to separate my sister from Mattheo, I will make sure the baby is yours. You're no different, are you? Wanting that baby for a reason or two. You can have it, I promise. As long as you live up to this agreement.""Don't you and Mattheo need that baby too? You want to go after the baby's inheritance, which is still sealed by foreign law. Does that mean you don't want it anymore?""Fuck off with all that. Mattheo has dozens of times the wealth of my sister Belle's estate. He doesn't need it. None of this would have happened if Ragen hadn't interfered. Anyway, just follow my plan. If you stick to what I've written, none of this will fail from the plan.""Want to hear more?" Robert asked, simultaneously turning off the recording of his own free will.My head looked like it was going to explode at any moment if the damn tape played any more than this. Robert was smart to catch the moment and prevented it by taking the record playe
It didn't take any special powers to figure out who would dare disturb me at a time like this. And that old lady would continue to terrorize me if her call wasn't picked up. Coincidentally, I also had some things I wanted to tell her.I picked up the call. The woman in the title of Mother mentioned my name in the shout she created."Since when did you become such a rebel!? I didn't raise you for shit! Natalia was kidnapped! And you want to keep being an arrogant son of a bitch who can't be contacted!? You want Natalia to die!?"So be it, that woman. Who would dare to kidnap a cunning woman like her? I wouldn't be surprised if what I heard was that she conspired with the kidnapper to create a dramatic news story, and used that to pocket pity from everyone.If what I heard was news like that, I'd be more inclined to believe it."Go home now you unlucky child! Find Natalia or I'll-""Or what?" I retorted, cutting off for the first time his words that were already making my eardrums itch
"Don't tell me you've lost Belle," I snapped. Angel in front of me flinched in shock at my words, which changed her expression into something suspicious. My long-standing distrust of others only worsened with something that smelled fishy."If you don't want to be treated badly by me, let go," I snarled, shrugging off the hand that dared to block my path with disgust. Just think about Belle, or else that cowardly servant would have already had their hand broken by me.I'm not stupid. Before leaving the hospital, I hired two private detectives for life to ensure Belle's safety. And also my baby's. I know, after hearing Luke Davis's plans targeting our baby, I had to tighten the security.And it’s not like I was gone for too long! I made my meeting with Robert as brief as possible, even speeding up my driving to cut down on wasted time. What did I miss? Everyone is hinting at something I shouldn’t see right now."I said no!"That servant, Angel, she’s playing with fire with me. My warnin
Once threatened, their stupid brains can only be invited to work. Disgusting. My tasks seem to be getting more and more after this. The incompetent failures of my subordinates and workers are so frustrating.How can they prepare themselves when my first baby is born? With all the incompetence that exists. It's no wonder that Robert is the only person I can trust with his energy. It seems that after this there will be massive layoffs.The funny thing is, the elevator is full at a critical time like this. There is not a single one left for me to ride thanks to the disabled people using wheelchairs, who fill the elevator doors with their stupid goals.Forced to take the emergency stairs as my main choice. My hands are itchy because of the slowness of all this, reaching for the cell phone and calling Robert without knowing what to say to him."Too many stupid things have happened that I don't know where to start," I fished for conversation like a loser, complaining while stupidly walking
Belle's POV"Mattheo, I said Mattheo! Where is he now? Don't waste my time anymore and meet me with him immediately!"My interlocutor did not budge at all. The painstakingness that she harbored in the regal title of 'Best Assistant' on her shoulders, transformed into a stone man who completely ignored my words."Veronica, don't joke to me. He has my cell phone. You have to hand it over to me now!" I snapped again. That wasn't enough, I forced her hand so that her frozen face collided with mine.Guess what she did? She swatted my hand away with that disgusting gesture, the one you wear when you've just touched dirt. he cleaned up his black suit that accidentally came into contact with me.Her behavior made me fall into the valley of disbelief. As disgusting as people are, they still don't deserve to be treated like trash. I may not be as smart as her, but I know best how to respect others."Now I understand why a woman like you can stand by an arrogant man like my ex-husband. In your e
"Or do you want me to go there? That's fine, that's fine. But you have to be prepared to see someone else's head cut off in front of you.""You're crazy!"I accidentally hung up the call after slamming the cell phone, which wasn't even mine, into the ground. The owner, fortunately, didn't mind my mistake. Instead, she seemed more worried about what had made me become like this."Wait a moment, let me get Sir Mattheo over here," she said. Her hand was already raised to reach for her other cell phone. Quick as a flash, I got up from my bed and pulled her hand to stop her."Are you crazy? Don't call Mattheo here!" I snapped at her who was frozen in confusion, utterly bewildered. "Tell Mattheo not to come to this hospital! Get as far away as possible!""What? There's no way I could do such a thing," she argued. Oh, Veronica. Do I need to explain everything to her? Yes, if we have so much extra time!"Luke Davis will be here, he'll see me. And if he sees another man next to me, on top of t
Belle's POV“Nggg~” Raven whined in tears when I separated him from his soft pillow. Not much different from her brother, Christ, who had already cried when his deep sleep was awakened. I really couldn't bear to wake them up in their unhealthy state.'However, Mattheo is already in Japan. It's only a matter of time until he finds the location of this hospital and my nightmare will come true.' I reminded myself not to let my guard down for a second in this critical situation.“Forgive your mother, my dear. I'm sorry.” I repeatedly apologized to my two babies who had to become victims of their parents' problems. I had to do this now or never.While Robert was still talking to someone on his phone, while the hospital was still too quiet for the guards to find me. Once again, I had to leave everything behind for my two babies. I'm not sure I would have survived if I hadn't hurried now.As soon as I found out Mattheo had reached Japan, the stitches in my stomach were excruciating. My stoma
Natalia’s POVI never expected to get a surprise like this, Mattheo's coming to the hospital and seeing me alone had managed to make my heart beat.I never imagined that Mattheo would even give me another surprise that was even more shocking than the previous one, not only did it make me do heart exercises, but it almost made my heart fall out of place because I was so surprised to see Mattheo in front of my eyes when I was just a few steps away from getting into the car.It was even more shocking that he was waiting for me there, like he already knew what I was going to do after this. Mattheo, he couldn't possibly know that I was going to leave and escape through the back door of the hospital and he couldn't possibly know that I kept a car in the backyard of this hospital either, right?''So, what are you going to say again this time? What are you going to explain about everything that has happened this time, where are you going and what made you decide to escape from this hospital?'
Natalia’s POVWho would have thought, a few moments after the phone call with Ragen had been disconnected, the doctor came back into the hospital room and he again checked my condition, which was still lying weakly on the hospital bed even though it had been assisted by drugs and also an IV tube that was still attached to my wrist.I will not waste this good opportunity. I will ask the doctor if I can get out of the hospital right now, so that I can meet Mommy Ragen without getting suspicion from anyone, including Mattheo if he finds me out there again.Unfortunately what I hoped for didn't really come true, the doctor stuck to his decision of not allowing me to be discharged from the hospital. My body that was still weak and not fully healthy was used as an excuse to keep me here.But I also can't stay here like this, I have to go and see Ragen before she does something much worse, she could tell Mattheo and twist the facts so that Mattheo only hates me.No, I can't let that happen!
Natalia’s POV''Mattheo, can I talk to you outside? There's something I want to talk to you about,'' Robert said which made me turn my head, wondering to myself what Robert was going to talk to Mattheo about?Was he going to say something very important that I shouldn't know so Robert asked Mattheo to leave?Shit, why can't my brain think properly? Even if Robert asked Mattheo to talk outside together, I was sure that Robert wouldn't tell the truth. Yes, he is also the one who has always helped me, if what I hid from Mattheo was revealed, it would also drag his name and Robert would not do that, I'm sure.Never mind, I should just trust him for now. Trying to convince myself that Robert will definitely not do anything wrong, he must have thought about it and considered it carefully before doing something.''Talking together? What do you want to tell me, is there something important?''Robert without hesitation immediately nodded to confirm what Mattheo had questioned, confirming that
Natalia’s POV''Why does your face look so pale after seeing me? Your reaction is so exaggerated, it's like you're seeing a ghost.'' Mattheo mocking me again while I was still trying to convince myself that what I was seeing was real, that Mattheo's presence in front of my eyes was not a hallucination due to the effects of the medicine I had taken.But his coming to the hospital and visiting me was real.He was really in front of me and was even looking at me intently, my palms were getting wet when I saw the way Mattheo was looking at me. With my nerves getting the better of me, I tried to act casual despite the fact that my heart was almost out of place.I'm afraid that Mattheo knows the truth about me, I'm afraid that he knows what I'm hiding from him, and I'm also afraid that Mattheo knows what makes me here now.This stress that I'm feeling, I'm sure it has something to do with Mommy Ragen's request that told and forced me to follow her will, assist her to seize custody of both M
Natalia’s POVI never thought that things would never go as smoothly as Mommy Ragen wanted, the process of taking custody of the child that she wanted was not as easy as imagined.'There was too much drama to be done, too many lies that needed to be prepared in order to get everything that Mommy Ragen wanted.'However, the fire of desire that has been burning so big inside her makes she completely unadvised in any way, she still imposes her will and insists on doing everything possible so that her goal can be achieved immediately.Even I could only stay silent and pensive staring in disbelief at her in front of there who was still talking to the Lawyer to discuss what they would do next so that the custody of Belle's two children could fall into the hands of her grandmother who was none other than Ragen.I did not expect that her ambition to control all the assets inherited to the two babies would make her desperate to do anything, even to the point of trying to seize the custody of B
Ragen’s POV''Robert, no matter what happens. I hope you will keep your mouth shut from everyone, I don't want all this to leak out to others and put me in danger. Mommy would immediately suspect me if what she is planning to do is leaked to others, you want to help me right?''Robert immediately nodded his head, agreeing to what Natalia said to hide everything he knew. To keep everyone's mouth shut so that what was happening here wouldn't leak out.''Of course, you don't have to worry about me leaking it. I will definitely keep my mouth shut with everything that has happened, just relax.'' he reassured Natalia and managed to make her smile with relief, at least Robert could be trusted for now.''That's good, for the time being, we should hide everything that happened from everyone, especially Mattheo, he shouldn't know what his mother is planning. I myself am also reluctant to get involved with that oldman madness, I don't know what the end will be, but I can guess that things will d
Ragen’s POVFrom where I was sitting, I could see Natalia shaking her head, looking very distrustful of me who dared to go against the law to get what I wanted.Of course I dare because it's not the law that I will fight against that I have in mind, but the property that will belong to Belle's two children that will also belong to me if I manage to get custody of the two children.Whatever she thinks, I don't care what she thinks here either, I'm not asking for her opinion. But I'm just forcing her and the lawyer in front of me right now to do what I want.Yes, not just the lawyer. But Natalia must also comply with what I want, whatever I tell her, she must obey!''Why are you shaking your head like that, Natalia? What are you thinking?'' I asked her, furious too because more and more Natalia seemed very out of line with my mindset.''Nothing, Mom. Just.. I think I need to go to the restroom first, You just continue the conversation with Mr. lawyer.''Natalia immediately rose to her f
Ragen’s POV''Natalia, I only asked you to accompany me to the legal counsel. Why are you so scared of being found out by Mattheo? After all as long as we keep quiet and don't tell anyone then it will all be safe right, or do you really want me to do something to you first so that you will listen to what I say and make you want to obey my orders?''I stared at Natalia's two eyeballs so intently, giving off an intimidating aura that was so strong as to pressure Natalia and make her give up on her initial decision to refuse my orders.“Please, I can’t do this,” She’s still rejecting me.“You certainly know what I mean, Natalia. It's not a difficult thing to influence Mattheo to hate you by bringing up his children's names, I can do that if you continue to refuse me. Ah, how about I tell Mattheo that you secretly want to harm his children?''Natalia looked surprised when I suddenly turned my head to look at her, I also saw her body jumped up when I suddenly turned my head and looked at h
