Will Poppy reveal her secret to Rafael and betray Robin?
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 birthd
‘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. Mr. Robin cannot possibly crawl in a filthy area like this.” Finally, she chose to hide the two bottles in a small, under-the-towel cabinet.Donna has never cleaned Poppy's chamber since discovering her origins as a mafia slave. Poppy doesn't have to wo
Poppy immediately stopped moving. Looking for an excuse right away, she replied, “I'm going to the toilet.”Robin let out a deep sigh that indicated exhaustion. “That's right, I hadn't showered either. My body is really sticky. Prepare warm water for me,” he stated later.Poppy instantly got out of bed. However, her movements were halted by confusion.“No! Take off my clothing first, and then carry me to the bathroom!”Poppy's mouth dropped open abruptly. Is Robin playing a joke? How could she lift such a large body?“Can't you hear me?!” Robin snapped.However, for some reason, Poppy is more scared of Robin than normal. The man she is seeing right now is not like Robin, who often haunts her thoughts.“Okay, sir.”Poppy approached her husband, who was sitting languidly and appeared to be about to fall. She touched Robin's thigh because she couldn't see well in the darkness. The clothing he was wearing was also black.The sound of Robin's harsh breath hit Poppy's forehead as she reache
Poppy was quietly amazed and captivated by the unusual sensation she had just experienced for the first time. The kiss felt lovely, yet it was completely different from the intercourse they used to do every night, and it was exciting.Robin's lips were surprisingly soft and dense. Poppy unintentionally nipped his bottom lip teasingly, causing Robin to groan softly.“Sweet...,” Robin muttered after abruptly pulling his lips away. His voice was heavy and deep, but it did not seem menacing.Poppy's heart began to beat faster. Did Robin honestly say her lips were sweet? Did Robin, who is cold and like a statue who never shows any other expression than cynicism, actually say that?Poppy was understandably astonished. Alcohol has been shown to have the ability to transform a person's mindset quickly. However, the astonishment lasted only a short time.“Mr. Robin!” This time, Poppy's lips, which had been removed from the kiss, let out a loud voice in astonishment at Robin's rapid movement.R
Poppy then ran to the bathroom and searched all over her body for the mark of her husband's possession that had been there before but was now almost gone. There was no trace of the new mark Robin had left.“Impossible...”The nightgown Poppy wore last night should have been wet, but there is no sign of love fluid from her or her husband soaking the thin dress.All of Poppy's nightgowns have different patterns and designs. Robin won't be able to change her only nightgown.Poppy is still curious. She even picked up her dress and sniffed it, hoping for some trace of her husband's scent. But her sense of smell detected only the scent of the clothes.“How can I have such a dream? How can a dream feel so real?”She really wants to avoid Robin as much as possible. Was it possible for her to have a dream about him?“I had time to read a book about how violence causes trauma. Am I slowly going crazy because of my trauma?” Poppy mumbled, caressing her face restlessly with both palms.Poppy was
In the end, Poppy reluctantly accepted Rafael's offer. Her brother-in-law kept trying to persuade her, hoping that she could give Robin a break from his work routine for a while. Besides, there was nothing in the agreement that prohibited her from traveling. Rafael also mentioned that he had told Antonio about his plan to bring Poppy into the office. However, Poppy still felt uncomfortable relying solely on Antonio's approval.“I'm not sure about going with you. What if I stay home?” Poppy hesitated again as Rafael started the car. She sat fidgeting as if she wanted to get out of the car.“You'll be bored at home alone.” Rafael buckled Poppy's seat belt instead.Poppy's chest thumped violently as Rafael stepped on the gas pedal. She was both anxious to make Robin angry and excited to see the outside of the mansion.It had been a long time since she had seen a crowd of normal people, and she had never been allowed to leave Saul Martinez's building. Poppy was thrilled to be able to enj
“Stay away from me!” A woman yelled in an alley near a towering structure in the middle of the night.Rose was trapped in a cul-de-sac. The narrow, gloomy road was only illuminated by the weak glow of flickering city lamps. The moist and putrid odor permeated the air, along with the remains of garbage littered on the street corners. Only Rose's footsteps could be heard echoing against the towering, solid stone walls.Her legs are exhausted after running continually. She escaped from Flint, the mafia boss' right-hand man.Rose's plan almost succeeded when she boarded a cargo ship. However, escape from the island known as Solterra is not easy. There are too many "big boss" men, including Flint. He saw Rose board the ship and sent the other guys to catch her.For four years on Solterra Island, where these mafias live, human trafficking has become a natural occurrence, leaving Rose unable to survive. Especially the torture she suffered from the big boss when he was angry. Her body was cov
“You just have to do what I say.” He gazed at Rose's miserable expression. “Be my wife and bear my child.”Rose's mouth opened wide. She still couldn't believe what he said. They're like chalk and cheese. Why would he offer something so absurd to a stranger like her?“Are you kidding?”Rose does not think she is ugly. It's only that her appearance always looks shabby since she's enslaved up in a building controlled by the Big Boss and used for human trafficking.“Do I look like I'm joking?”Rose shook her head quickly. His attractive and cold gaze suggests that he does not enjoy making jokes.“Mr. Robin Luciano!”Rose's was slightly eased by Saul's exclamation from a distance. Saul bowed respectfully to Robin. Rose was stunned when she saw him. The big boss, who never bends his face in front of others, unexpectedly turns out to be a servant to Robin.Rose had heard that an influential businessman would be visiting this island. He is opening the country's largest nightclub and will hir

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. Living in a magnificent mansion resembling a palace and b
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
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
