“Rafael!” Robin shouted. Apparently, Robin wasn’t pleased with Rafael's statements. even though Rafael just copied Dante's opinions.

Poppy was startled, and she immediately turned away from her brother-in-law. She was worried that Robin would misunderstand and chastise her again because she was staring at Rafael. Even though she couldn't see Robin, Poppy could sense a piercing glare from the side.

“I just repeated everything that Grandpa said. Don't be angry at me.” Rafael didn't seem to care.

Robin's expression was hard. They maintained eye contact for a long time before Rafael moved his gaze down to the meal on his plate.

“Don't you have any other friends? You shouldn't be with someone else's wife.”

“I have many friends, but not with Poppy. I heard she is from another country and hasn’t stayed in this country for a long time. Poppy clearly doesn’t have many friends here, and I will be her first one. Aside from that, Grandpa told me to help Poppy adapt to our life.”

    “Why are you standing there?” Rafael admonished as he reached out to prevent the elevator's automatic door from closing.“Sorry, I was daydreaming for a moment.”As Poppy walks into a spacious room with a thick red carpet, the sweet perfume burns her sense of smell. The aroma reminded her of Robin's warm breath, and the air around her felt smothering.The decorations in front of the elevator entrance are identical to those on the other floors. There are no unusual or valuable goods, as Poppy expected when Robin made a restriction on everyone entering this place.“You seem like a confused first-time guest.”“No. It's just that. I seem to have forgotten something and need to return to my room,” Poppy replied quickly. She found that reason shortly before the elevator closed.Poppy turned her body back in front of the elevator. Rafael, on the other hand, blocked Poppy with a touch to her shoulder.“What...?” Poppy inquired, attempting to suppress her anxiety.Rafael's expression this time

Rafael?”Poppy's feet moved unexpectedly, stepping forward, deeper into the corridor and further away from the elevator. She must ensure that she doesn't become insane because a of hearing the sound of someone's suffering.“Ugh ....” Again, the wailing was faint. However, this time Poppy is certain she did not mishear. The sound is real, not just a hallucination.Finally, Poppy's footsteps came to a halt in front of a wooden door with scary abstract carvings. The wailing was no longer audible, but she was certain she had stopped in the right place.She looked down and peeked through the keyhole. It was dark. She couldn't see anything through the sma

    “Mr. Robin…”Poppy quickly avoided Robin after realizing he was already behind her. Robin's left hand, however, moved faster, holding the elevator door and wrapping up her waist movement. She was finally trapped in Robin's embrace, which gave her a tight feeling as if her life was in danger.“Please forgive me…” Poppy begged for forgiveness in a faint, helpless voice.Poppy, with her back against Robin's chest, didn't dare to turn around. If the punishment stays the same as before, Poppy will be unable to bear it. However, she doesn't want another punishment.“I promise not to make the same mistake again.”Poppy's shoulders jerked, and she lost her voice. Robin bit her neck, like a bloodsucking beast attempting to drain all of her blood. At the same moment, she suddenly understands how he caused the hickeys that were covering her body.“Please, Mr. Robin. I beg you....”Robin responded with a harsh touch, squeezing below

    Poppy's vision was obscured by tears when she noticed the small scar on her wrist. The scratch scar from when she attempted to break her pulse in order to end her life. She attempted suicide more than once, particularly when she remembered her father, who died less than a month before Saul's men chased her.Nevertheless, Poppy's life was saved. Saul repeatedly saved her from suicide attempts, then disciplined her with a whip for acting stupidly and trying to avoid her task.‘If you breach my rules again, I will punish you even more harshly.’ Saul's statements were similar to Robin's threat after he punished her. Poppy sobbed while pressing on her wrist.The scar on her wrist serves as a reminder of her final attempt to escape Solterra Island.

    Robin sat in front of the third-floor elevator door, waiting for his brother with a frigid expression. His fingertips gently tapped the sofa's velvety armrest. When the door opened, he looked straight at Rafael, who had stepped out of the elevator. His expression implied that Rafael should stop walking.Rafael, on the other hand, continued walking while looking down and keeping both hands in his jeans pockets. His stare was blank, as if he was contemplating something at every step.“I've said it multiple times. You are not permitted to enter this place. Did you purposefully drag my wife to make me angry?”Robin didn't lie to Poppy. He forbade Rafael from entering the third floor. As a result, Robin was furious with both Poppy and Rafael for breaking his rule. Rafael abruptly stopped moving his feet. He was taken aback when he saw Robin and immediately took his hand out of his jeans pocket. “Your wife, huh?” Rafael sneered; his voice was low, and Robin couldn't hear him.“I just dro

They behave very carefully in accordance with Robin's instructions.As a result, Poppy can freely visit the library to find the book she wants to read. Not the previous book, which contained general information for continuing life after divorce, but to avoid pregnancy.“Do I need to prepare snacks and warm tea to accompany you as you read a book, Madam?” Asked one of the servants, who saw Poppy enter the library and approached her quickly.“No, I don't need it. I'll only be here for a moment.” Poppy declined, softly driving the maid away.Poppy wants to find a book she shouldn't read. She doesn't want to draw attention, let alone have the maid suspect her and squeal on Robin.Robin does not give her a smartphone to use to surf the internet, so her access to information is limited to books.

Antonio just stood there, not daring to grab the weapon that was ready to fire.“I should have killed you a long time ago if you end up being the one who steals my wife.”Everyone who heard Robin's words was taken aback, except Poppy. Antonio even opened his mouth because he didn't expect Robin to still consider Poppy his wife after insisting on divorcing her.When they were on their way home, Robin repeatedly stated that he no longer needed her. Antonio remembered it clearly.As a result, he immediately wrote down some important details in order to avoid causing harm to either party. However, the current situation has changed dramatically,

Elio is well aware of this, as he is Robin's personal bodyguard who is always present when Luciano's illegal business is conducted.However, shooting Antonio was the most terrifying thought that Elio had. He felt compelled to inform someone who could detain Robin, as none of the bodyguards dared go against him.When Robin arrived at Antonio's apartment's subterranean parking lot, he gave a command. “Wait here.”“Okay, sir.”After Robin left, Elio immediately called Larry. He was unfamiliar with Robin's elite bodyguards, who could enter and exit the third floor, which he had only visited today. Fortunately, he has his phone number.“Hello, Mr. Larry. I’m Mr. Robin's bodyguard,” said Elio when Larry answered the phone.“Yeah, what's going on?”“Mr. Robin is curr

    Robin ruffled his hair roughly. Poppy's words made him unable to continue what he wanted. He is an unwavering man who always keeps his promises. As a result, he couldn't deny his own decision, even though it was entirely because of Antonio.“Antonio, you're such a moron!” Robin was furious while dialing Antonio's phone number.“Hello, Sir. I have just arrived at the apartment. What do you need to—”“You, damn it! What have you done?!”“Sir, what do you mean?” Antonio's voice over the phone sounded panicked.“Why did you make unimportant points in the contract termination with that woman?”Antonio remained silent for a long time, recalling the contents of the document he had created perfectly. He only protects Robin from unwanted situations, such as if Poppy unexpectedly tries to irritate Robin and disrupt their plans.Their business opponents may take advantage of her after the divorce.

    Robin's chest rustled like it was being blown by the breeze. The burden that had always weighed on his chest vanished as soon as he heard Poppy's words.“Are you trying to seduce me?” However, Robin set a limit again, assuming that Poppy's words were fake. “Saul did an excellent job teaching you.”Poppy shook her head quietly. A teardrop containing unappreciated sincerity dripped down her cheeks. She then gently rubbed Robin's face before lifting her left leg to sit on his lap and face each other.Both of her hands gripped his shoulders. Their eyes clashed for a long time as they tried to figure out what the other was thinking.“Are you going to throw me away?” Poppy's timid tongue struggled to ask that question.“Yes, exactly. I don't need you anymore.”!!!Robin's words pierced her heart and shattered her hope. She was, however, hesitant to abandon her efforts to remain by his side for any longer.She is just an ordinary woman with nothing, whereas Robin is a man who cannot be reach

    A while back, before Poppy reached the third floor...“Donna, what should I do after this?”Poppy sat limply on her room chair, watching Donna pack all of her clothes into the suitcase with a gloomy expression. Donna stopped her activities and sat next to her.“Madam, I don’t think Mr. Robin will necessarily kick you out. Maybe he just wants you to move your belongings to the third floor so you can be in the same room as him.”Poppy gave a soft shake of her head. “You know that's impossible.”Before Donna could respond, Antonio approached with a folder in his hand. He entered immediately because the room's door was wide open.“Mr. Robin has been waiting for you, Madam, since earlier. Come with me, and I will take you there.” Despite knowing that his master was going to divorce her, Antonio was still polite, making it difficult to change his habits.“Okay.”Poppy followed Antonio nervously. She wanted to know why Robin had suddenly told Donna to pack all her belongings, but she was afr

However, no one knew about it until today because Robin went missing for a week on Luciano Island.Currently, several servants are cleaning the area on the third floor, with the exception of Robin's room, which only Antonio and the butler can enter. Robin sat quietly in a chair, listening to Antonio's reports about work at the office.“Antonio, you can rest now,” Robin said after Antonio had finished his report.“I'll supervise the servants, sir. They only went up to this floor once. I'm worried they'll make mistakes.”“The decision is yours. Don't complain if you're sick or tired.”Robin unbuttoned his shirt up to his chest, revealing his muscles. He had previously felt his clothes wrap around his body, making his chest tighten. However, even after unbuttoning, the tightness persisted.“Okay, sir.” Before leaving the room, Antonio remembered something. “Do I need to prepare a contract t

Meanwhile, Antonio moved forward and stretched his left hand in front of Robin's body.Antonio asked, “Sir, let's get out of here.”Robin caused Stefan to go insane more than once. He always openly states dark facts, which aggravates Stefan's condition.“Tch!”Before leaving the room, Robin looked at his father, who was restrained to the bed by two bodyguards. Stefan can harm himself if both of his hands are free while relapsing.“Please don't come here until Mr. Stefan calms down.
