“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.

    Poppy's psyche is still marked with the anguish of trauma. Perhaps she has a hallucination about her spouse torturing a captive.However, considering that Robin is a part of a mafia family, it is not impossible that he hides his captive there, although Poppy is clueless of the illegal business her husband's family is involved in.“H—Hello? 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

    “N-No ....” Poppy never imagined she'd take advantage of Robin's weakness. She wasn't even interested in finding out about it.Poppy truly understands the terrible life of the mafia on Solterra Island. Anyone who threatens Saul will end up with a hole in his head. These mafias aren't hesitant to take human lives that they believe to be worthless. She clearly doesn't want that to happen to her. She wants to live till she can escape Robin's clutches. She then returns to her hometown to demand an explanation for her stepmother's actions.“Okay, then, provide me proof that you have no choice but to be on this floor. You can ask Rafael to explain things to me.”Poppy saw that there were no surveillance cameras on the third floor, unlike the other floors. She will not be able to prove the truth. Robin's declaration, on the other hand, gives her some hope of avoiding punishment. She can ask Rafael to be a witness.Robin will disgrace himself since Poppy believes her spouse in the paper is l

    “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. She had given up on the life she had been living for four years, desperate to escape with another captive when a chance arose.If she failed to escape at the time, she intended to seek the death penalty from Saul Martinez. However, Robin Luciano

    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

    Although Rafael was not present, as long as he or another member of Luciano's family stayed at the mansion, the servants treated Poppy well. 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.

    Poppy was initially afraid to divulge her secret because Rafael is also a member of Luciano's family. She was also unsure whether Dante had asked Rafael to observe her.However, Poppy can sense the sincerity emanating from her brother-in-law's brown eyes. And, haven't they become friends?Finally, she responded, “I'm just not ready to get pregnant and afraid of giving birth.”However, Poppy merely admitted to Rafael that she is unsure about her ability to nurture a child at her young age. She didn't say she wanted to postpone pregnancy because she was frightened of being killed by her husband after giving birth.“I understand you. I heard you'll be 23 years old in three months, or exactly in the next 87 days.”Poppy raised her eyebrows in amazement at her brother-in-law's statements. She even forgot her birthday. Rafael, on the other hand, is aware of her date of birth, even if it is not her true day of birth but rather the date of birth in her new identity.“How do you know my birthda

    ‘Use this contraceptive pill. However, I still recommend that you talk with my brother as soon as possible to determine the best timing to have a kid,’ Rafael stated after dinner yesterday evening.Poppy didn't ask Rafael how he acquired the contraceptive pill so soon. She believes that anyone involved in the underground business will be able to get anything they want.She saw two pill bottles in her hands. One bottle includes emergency contraceptives that can be used after intercourse, while the other bottle contains a daily contraceptive pill that prevents pregnancy.Poppy took a contraceptive pill and immediately consumed it. Then seek the best area to hide those two precious bottles in her ensuite bathroom.“I'll just hide it here.

    Despite the chaos in Dante's room, the couple kissed passionately. Poppy's scream was muffled when Robin abruptly lifted her body.Poppy wrapped her legs around Robin's waist, afraid of falling. They were still kissing when Robin started to walk out of the room.“Where are we going?” Poppy inquired after they left the room. She blinked softly to adjust her eyes, which had caught sight of the lights in the corridor.“We have to show Grandpa that we are truly in love when we marry. Let everyone see and no longer doubt our marriage.”“But now is not the time for that.”“Tsk! You just have to believe me! I know when is the best time to do it.”“Alright. So, can you take me down?” Poppy felt embarrassed because they ran into the guards who were running towards Dante's room.“You really have trouble understanding what I'm saying, do you? I did it because there were so many people.”No one is keeping an eye on Robin's condition. Robin Luciano appears to be in excellent health.“How about my

    Poppy was shocked to death. She immediately turned to Robin to request assistance in preventing Dante from killing Carita. It was not her death that she desired. The revenge must make her regret her actions for the rest of her life. If she dies quickly after committing a major crime, everything will be over. “Rob—” When she turned her head to the left, she was surprised to see Robin's face so close to her.“Hmm?” Robin replied calmly. He doesn't appear to care if Dante kills his wife's stepmother.She lowered her head to avoid his gaze, which appeared to be the same as when they were making love. “I don't want to see anyone dead in front of my eyes,” she said quietly.Robin let out a harsh sigh. Her request was particularly troublesome because he had to stop his grandfather. But this is the first time she has asked him for something directly. He wants to grant her wishes.“Mr. Dante... I’m not lying to you! All of this woman's statements are false!” Carita exclaimed, terrified, as sh

    “Don't act surprised.” Robin whispered again, moving his face closer to Poppy's cheek.Her body scent is very seductive. His brain appears to be filled with drugs, making it difficult to distract from his wife. But she focused her attention on April rather than him.She already knew that his father doesn’t have any siblings. She's a little perplexed as to why Robin kept bothering and reprimanding her, despite the fact that she was only surprised briefly and unexpectedly.“You are such a liar! My husband doesn’t have siblings,” Carita sneered softly.April took a thick folded paper from her bag. She politely handed the paper to Luca, who then whispered something to Dante.“Go ahead,” Dante instructed April to continue talking.“Several years ago, an accident killed August's wife, Poppy's biological mother. Following that incident, August rarely cared for his daughter. I had offered to help take care of Poppy, but August declined because my house was in another city and quite far away.”

    “D-Do not get too close.” Poppy pushed Robin. Her focus was on his face, which appeared to be leaning on her shoulder, rather than on the surprise he would deliver.“Do you want me to speak loudly so that everyone can hear?” He whispered.Poppy's shoulder and left head shuddered as she felt his breath against her neck. She shifted slightly to the right, but he drew her again.“Do you have anything else to say?”Robin excitedly pinched his wife's lips. “Take care of how you speak in front of my family.”His gaze remained fixed on her lips until his face approached slowly. Poppy, who saw his lips slightly open as if he was about to kiss her, quickly turned away.“I’m still talking to you. Are you avoiding me?”“You previously stated that you would speak, but you did not say anything clearly.” She simply glanced at her husband.Robin wasn't sure what to say anymore. He felt like he'd told her everything. However, his face remained drawn to her, as if he wanted to say something.Their bod

    Poppy's face frowned briefly as she noticed a woman standing near Antonio. That woman closed her mouth dramatically, as if she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw her. She then burst out crying, her expression happy and moved.“Rose, Mommy misses you so much...”The woman claiming to be Poppy's mother walked slowly, as if hesitant to approach. Poppy stood up, still looking surprised. She burst into tears as she hugged her.“Mom?”“That's right, this is your mom.” That woman hugged Poppy and closed her eyes to hold back her tears.Poppy doesn't understand what's going on. She was completely unrelated to that woman. However, she was certain that Robin had instructed Antonio to ask that woman for assistance.“You arrived at the right time, Mother-in-law.” Robin nodded, his eyes blinking slowly, as he absorbed his role. He patted Poppy's back and her pretend mother.Even though he only spends time at Poppy's apartment, he discovers Dante's plan to present gifts to his wife.At first, R

    Dante's jaw tightened. He dislikes it most when Robin begins to be disrespectful. His granddaughter-in-law and mother were moved, but Robin laughed at them.“Robin, be mindful of your attitude!” Dante scolded him.Even though Robin has stopped laughing, his mouth is still forming a smile. This irritated Carita as well. She has made extensive preparations for today. However, Robin Luciano was the only person who laughed at her perfect play.‘People say Robin is a terrible man, and that is true. He showed no sympathy for his phony wife,’ she thought.Poppy's prejudices and Flint's words were all true. Carita did work with Saul Martinez to imprison her on Solterra Island. She even spent a large sum of money to keep Poppy there.‘Without Robin Luciano, Stella would never have been able to leave Solterra Island. Now I have to kneel like this so that this stupid girl does not suspect me and use Robin against me.’All of the luxury she currently enjoys is the right of Stella Valentine, Poppy

    “You... are already… here, Robin,” said Dante, nodding to Luca.Luca immediately helped Dante sit back, placing his stiff left hand on his lap. Dante is a left-handed user, which Poppy believes is a punishment from heaven because he constantly uses that hand to harm others.“I just returned home yesterday and can only visit you now,” Robin responded. Poppy noticed Dante's cruel gaze soften as he looked at his eldest grandson. He appears to adore his grandchildren, despite the fact that he has no regard for the grandchildren of those he has murdered.“I'm glad you're still getting along with your wife. I assumed you just pretended to get married because of my insistence.” Dante spoke in a low and unclear tone, but it was still understandable.“We're truly married.”Poppy gasped when Dante looked at her. She quickly relaxed her muscles so that she didn't appear to despise that man.“You heard from Luca, right? I have a gift for you.”“Yes, Grandpa.” She shuddered when she called Dante'

    They finally arrived at Dante's house when the sky was nearly completely dark. Robin proved his words by holding her in his passionate embrace for hours, purposefully keeping Antonio waiting for a long time.Poppy nearly fell while getting out of the car and grabbed Robin's arm. Her legs are severely weakened as a result of her husband's actions.“I'm sorry.” Poppy immediately let go of her hand once she regained her balance. However, Robin drew her closer.Robin walked with twine around her waist as they headed to Dante's room, occasionally grinning and glancing at the man behind him. Antonio followed in their footsteps, keeping a safe distance and not approaching too closely.“Poppy!” exclaimed an excited man's voice.Poppy abruptly stopped walking and turned her head in the direction of the sound. Her face lit up when she saw Rafael walk quickly towards her.“Don't stop walking!” Robin ordered, dragging on her shoulder and not allowing her to greet her brother-in-law.“But...” Popp

    Poppy's happiness faded gradually. Her mind became preoccupied with understanding Robin's contradictory words.‘Jealous, but with no feelings for me? Isn't that weird?’“Do not think too much! You must only think of me,” Robin said in a heavy, deep voice.He pulled Poppy's pants as she crawled down. He raised her legs until they bent between his head, then buried his head in the center.“Sir, please don’t... that... that... dirty...”Nonetheless, she accepts whatever he does to her.At the height of his satisfaction, Robin whispered, “Oh, I really miss this...” Then, after unconsciously revealing the contents of his heart, he said, “I just miss your body, not you.”Even though it hurts, she appears to be adjusting to his difficult way of expressing his true feelings.***This weekend afternoon, Robin Luciano was still in Poppy's apartment.
