Slap!

Her body slumped down from my arms. My hand grip loosened. A twinge of pain accompanied by a burning sensation on my cheek disrupts my focus on the body that has slipped from my dominance.

“Don't you dare say that to Luke!” a small, high-pitched voice screeched in front of my face. “Kidnapping? I ran away from you! Why do I have to explain all this when you don't even care about me yourself? Seriously! I hate you, Mattheo! I hate you!”

Hold on. What the hell is going on here?

There was a bit of a gap in my head, between reality and hallucination. Before reality hit me hard, what I realized was that Belle had already put up her body to protect that bastard.

With her body shaking, with her tears still falling. Like an angel protecting her favorite human.

Him? Luke Davis? Protected by Belle, my wife who has been so obsessed with me?

'No, no. I can't believe it.’

“Belle, c

    “Go away Mattheo! Get you away from me!”She threw me out. The woman who slapped me, abused me, and defended a man other than me, was the same woman who was still my wife.Back then, Belle wasn't like this. No matter what I did to her, she would still hold her ground as my spouse. A small quarrel like this shouldn't make her change.We've been through many bigger problems than this. However, this was the first time she dared to go against me.The reaction in my body couldn't lie. I was trembling, a tremor that went through my entire body that I could witness.The tremors emanating from my heart, fear, hatred, and contempt, all mixed to dissolve me in disbelief.“Someone! Please Help! Someone's hurt here! Please someone help me!” Belle shouted. Even her shrill voice sounded foreign to my hearing.I don't remember her being a woman who easily falls for other men. I'm still trying to deny it. But what else could I

    “No, I just-”Beep Beep Beep“There's a call.” Robert stopped what he was saying, turning to point at my new cell phone that was ringing very loudly.“I'll wait in my room,” was all he said. Without me asking, he managed to catch the clue and immediately gave me some privacy. I didn't mind him sitting here, next to me, while waiting for me to finish the call.Our conversation wasn't over yet, on top of that. I later found out that the reason Robert had left my side was because it was my mother who had called me.It wasn't long before the lightness I felt in my chest was replaced by a thick fog that made me breathe a long, tired sigh. Nothing good would come from calling Ragen, my mother.'Is it normal for a son to feel so overwhelmed by a cellular call from his mother? She could be worried about me.' was what I thought to myself. Even though it was very difficult to bring this hand to pick up the cell phone that had been ringing repeatedly.“Yes, mom? I'm here,” I said, picking up the

    “He's inside.” Robert's voice welcomed the woman in her exclusive outfit, taking her first steps into our territory.A bit surprised, I admit. Natalia's appearance was much worse than the last time I saw her. We met shortly before my mother tortured me at headquarters. I can't forget how messed up she looked back then.Even a comatose person knew there was something wrong with her.“Sit down,” I said. As much as I hated her presence, I tried not to make her a sacrifice for my anger towards Mom. I set the sofa free for her to sit on.I thought she'd take the spot next to me, but who would have thought I'd be able to see how messed up her face was this close? Sitting in front of me was something she shouldn't have done.“You don’t look so good.” Finally, my tongue couldn't resist commenting on the pale canvas and dark circles under her eyes. “Sick people aren't supposed to go anywhere.”&ld

    As if that wasn't enough, Robert stopped his hand movements when Natalia's insults were cut off. His gaze lingered on me with emphasis. Lying doesn't feel pressured. His mouth wasn't open but I could feel what he was saying now.I admit, I was cornered. Natalia with her shrill voice again protested to me watching my action of leaving her. I stepped into the kitchen, where I washed this face that was sprinkled with shame.'After getting the baby, you want to leave it.' Those words were sharper than any a rusty dagger. The magnet stuck to my heart, turning back the clock on how mean I was to Belle back then.My ego still says everything was a compulsion. My carelessness in letting my mother manipulate my desires back then. Belle was accused of having an affair with another man when I was struggling to maintain our company.My mother was so intent on Belle's family inheritance that she manipulated my feelings. None of this would have happened if I had listened to Belle instead of my moth

    Luke Davis' POV(The day of the commotion at the hospital)(Flashback)“Don't you dare accuse Luke in front of me!”This is beautiful. My hopes were waving far beyond expectations. The decision to cooperate with that disgusting woman, Natalia, the fruit turned out to be very sweet.My only regret is that there's no camera here. I would have loved to capture every pathetic expression of that Mattheo guy. The world should know that a man they respect and fear so much can look so ridiculous in front of his wife.Belle, I never knew she was willing to pull out the IV tube in her hand to protect me. I intend that if Mattheo dares to raise his hand and play violence, I will not remain silent and will immediately break his neck.So Belle should not be needed to protect me. But, ah, how nice. It was wonderful to see Belle protecting me, the man who had ruined her relationship, in front of her legal husband.“You're my wife, Belle! And that's my baby! You should come back here!” That very man

    “Luke, please forgive me, it's all my fault.” Accompanying my cries, Belle sobbed beside my bed where my surprise examination was being conducted.“It's all my fault. I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen.” I couldn't see her, but from the sound of my parents' commotion, I could see Belle prostrating herself before them with guilt on her back.“Don't say that, dear. It's not your fault. Without you, Luke wouldn't have been saved. Hold your head up,” my father's voice fortified his growing cries.They were slightly panicked by the doctor who finally announced the condition of my internal organs.There was nothing wrong, even when the doctor examined my internal organs, they didn't find the slightest damage. Not even trauma. The doctor explained some kind, which finally relieved my parents.I was too lazy to swallow all their insignificant concerns, so I pretended to faint. My parents finally left my room, leaving only Belle to take care of me.The two of us, in the cold room, would be full o

    “First of all, please help me find which apartment Mattheo is hiding in. Damn it, even that old woman Ragen didn't let me find out. How can I rest easy when our wedding is approaching?” her continuous babbling filled my ears with how chaotic her current condition was.I listened to every stanza of plan after plan that could lead to the success of both of our goals. The common thread was that I had to help ensure the success of Mattheo and Natalia's wedding. With almost 60% of the preparations, it was highly unlikely that Mattheo would be able to escape if Natalia succeeded in her plan this time.“Don't panic, give me the location of your apartment now. I have a gift for you,” I said.“What? What do you want to give me?” she chirped in surprise.I took out my other cell phone, which I had hidden under my pillow. A cell phone that only contained contacts of important people, including my subordinates whom I had always controlled.“This is me. Go to this apartment with 12 unidentified pe

    Belle Kensington POV“My mom gave me good news, about Mattheo.”It was such a cheap lie that even a child could have instantly destroyed it.My condition compelled me to lie in front of the man who had saved my life so many times. This action is not justified to continue, I know. But, there will only be war greeting the second honesty comes out of my mouth.The call I picked up earlier was from my mother. I didn't lie about that. What I was hiding from Luke Davis was how my mom had told me the big news so suddenly.“That damn Ragen. He quietly signed our company's new contract agreement. She secretly bought all the stock that I sold to someone else! That sneaky witch has always been a nuisance to my perfect plans!”At first, I didn't understand how my mother could express her anger by slamming all the items in her office while our call was still on.During my absence, my mother, who was so distressed about our company, couldn't do much. I thought my return would make up for all the sh

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?'

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

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

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.

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
