"I see it’s useless talking to a stupid woman. It's a waste of my time." Ragen stabbed her cigarette, which was still lit, into my arm until my clothes caught fire.

Her hand pressure was no joke. She burned my skin with the cigarette, without any expression of guilt at all. The stinging and pain I felt I could only endure by biting my lip and refraining from screaming out in pain.

The cigarette finally went out. Not because of the wind, but because it was soaked with drops of my blood. A smile crossed her lips with great satisfaction, before throwing away the blood-soaked cigarette he could no longer use.

"I'll let you stay in this mansion until next month," she said, as she walked away from me. Now and then she would briefly look back, just to laugh at my appearance which was so funny to him.

"There are many things that my son has to take care of for your wedding, I know that. But, don't think I'll let you get close to him. He already has Natalia, do you get that?"

I couldn't answer.

    Engine running, Luke Davis was ready to drive me back to my family's mansion to start our next plan. As much as possible, I willed my head not to think about anything at the moment.'Wait for me, Mattheo. I promise I can fix our relationship again. For our child, for our love.'...- One week later- Davis University Private Hospital- Internal Organ Emergency Unit"Belle Kensington."A line of ominous, rancid scent wafted along with a nurse calling my name in an examination room.The man beside me didn't change his breathing, but his eyes noticed my stupidity as I continued to stare at my blank phone screen. Together, we both ignored the important call from the medical staff."How long are you going to stare at that screen?" he said. Referring to my cell phone that had been perched in my hand for three whole hours. "He won't call you. Forget it."I fell into a lethargic silence unable to respond to his words. "I understand. Let me wait ten more minutes. I'll follow you to the opera

    'Even the wound from the cigarette fire on my arm, he took good care of it. So good that my mom missed this and didn't notice.' I thought. I touched the layer of bandage on my arm, Luke's handiwork.That touch awakened something in my heart. 'This is not the time for you to raise your self-esteem, Belle. You're the one at fault here!'I take a long breath, so long, gripping the doorknob as a handle, then exhale. Once the weight on my chest began to ease, I was ready to step outside.I was worried that if I looked at the sofa, no one was sitting on it. Luke could leave me if he wanted to. If that happened, I didn't know what else to do."Luke..." His name came up spontaneously after I saw that the angle he was sitting in hadn't changed at all from when we last spoke."Are you done?" That was all he said. Seeing me standing stiffly in the corner of the room didn't melt the ice in his heart.I nodded my head in reply. Afterward, his gaze fell back on the screen of his laptop that was on.

    She never brought any good news except to add to the list of troubles in my life. This time, I was sure she wasn't calling me with empty hands in her mouth.'Don't tell me you're still in contact with that bastard? Has your illness made you crazy? You're someone's fiancé!' she snapped, becoming more and more intense.The sound of my mother screaming always managed to bring pain to my head. I rubbed my temples even though I hadn't had a headache like this in a long time."That's not what I meant, Mother," I retorted as the throbbing pain in my head intensified. "I was expecting his call because I hadn't seen him in a while. That's what you want from me. How can I see him?"My mom wasn't that kind to just let me go. My ears still had to be forced to listen to all her complaints, and her anger, where every word she said was to mentally destroy me even more.'Luke Davis is still there? I can't reach him.' She asked.My body was instantly chilled by his question. For all she knew, Luke Dav

    I was in bad enough shape to end up colliding with all the people I passed in the corridor. There was a bright side to this misfortune. My staggering walk, carrying a pale body with hands dripping with blood, was bad enough to make other patients not feel sorry for me.Eventually, many of them offered me a car ride. If that wasn't enough, some patients who had just been discharged gave me some money. Assuming my condition was the result of my husband's domestic violence.Not entirely wrong. I returned to my new apartment without a hitch.Luckily, I still remembered the electric password. The electric key I had, I'd given it to Luke Davis when we'd argued earlier that day. The door opened, and the apartment with some extra furniture smelled on the tip of my nose."Sigh." I plopped down on the long sofa in the living room. Since when did this solo apartment feel so quiet? I bought this place to get away from both my mom and Luke Davis.The funny thing was, the sensation I received once

    "Belle?"My brain's capacity was not able to accommodate the anxious calls flowing from the active phone.My consciousness was already trapped by how close we were, between the man in the black dance mask and me. His smile, I feel like I've seen it somewhere.His aura, I've felt it before. Different from Mattheo with all his dominance, or Luke with all his manipulation. This mysterious man who managed to get into my apartment is a genuine psychopath.'Move a little, I'm sure he'll kill me.' I thought with great certainty.Clang!The loud sound made every hair on my body bristle. He took out some sort of iron tool, like a club, from behind his back. The loud sound came from him tapping the iron bat on the floor of the apartment.The mysterious voice that even Mattheo on the landline could see clearly."Belle. Tell me where you are right now. I'll be there right now," he said frantically."Mattheo..." my lips froze as I tried to summon up my courage. I also wanted to tell him where my a

    Notes: Belle's POV ends hereMattheo's POV begins*Chapter 47*"Mattheo... It's me, Belle-"After that, the voice I heard was no longer the typical voice of a woman. The anger I pocketed after discovering she dared to contact me after she escaped from my mansion, was temporarily buried deep.Moments when our call was almost cut off, I told my brain that I had misheard. But in the next second, I heard the voice of a man who was so close to her."Belle. Tell me where you are now," I said again. The inaction of her answer made my fingers impatient to find out her location.I called one of my secretaries who was still active at this hour. "Hello? It's me. Can you trace this call I'm picking up?""Pardon me?" my secretary looked confused. I sent him a recording of the landline signal Belle used to contact me."How long can you trace it?" I asked impatiently.My secretary was confused, and I could hear the noise of his partner in the background. He seemed to be at his home when I called."T

    Our call was cut off. Not because one of us had dropped the call, but because something had happened to Belle's landline.Her companion was a riotous, noisy noise that sounded like something slamming. My logic tried to calm down and find a common thread to the sound, but nothing converged except that someone forced Belle to destroy her landline.Her life was being threatened.I couldn't get the information I needed from my secretary. Leaving empty-handed would be giving myself up to a cold-blooded killer. I looked for something I could do to ease my mind.What I found was Belle's mother's professional business card. Since I got married, I never used this business card.Oil acts as my head above the air, water acts as my hands that move freely to press the buttons on the cell phone. Sequential like the row of numbers I held in my hand."Delia Kensington Residence." The automated operator's voice answered in the first second. The first call was disconnected, with no one answering.I tri

    My feet stepped for the first time on a restrictive fence. All the safeguards were closed, but there was not a single guard in front of it."Excuse me. Can you open the gate?" I said after I found the only man around."Got an appointment?" the man asked. The darkness made him oblivious to my face, which should tell him who I am from just one look.I smell the scent of discord if things aren't going down well here. I grabbed ten bills from my wallet and held them in front of him who immediately rounded his eyes."Ekhem. Take your steps with wise caution, sir. There's a riot going on inside. It seems the kidnappers have taken a young pregnant woman as a hostage.""What?" I almost spontaneously spoke. "Pregnant woman?"Don't tell me.The gate opened immediately. My already dark foreboding slowly faded away, realizing there were tons of police cars parked in the inner courtyard. Explaining why the guard had trouble opening the gate if I didn't bribe him with some money.Among the crowded

It's only a matter of time until he finds the location of this hospital and my nightmare will come true.'

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?

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?

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

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.

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.
