Despite her fear, Poppy's cheeks flushed with Robin's first compliment. However, when she looked at Robin's cold expression, her blush vanished.Robin cursed himself near his wife. He wanted to slap himself in the mouth for saying something embarrassing. He intended to heal Poppy's trauma, but he sounded like a womanizer.Poppy could hear him curse. She assumed he was making a joke on her, using sarcasm because she didn't deserve to wear that fancy necklace. “I apologize. I'm going to remove this necklace.”“You don’t like what I gave you?!” Robin snapped, offended that he had gone to the trouble of ordering a rare sapphire stone for the pendant on Poppy's necklace.“I-I like it, sir.”“So why do you—”“Sir, the driver is waiting outside.” Antonio mustered the courage to cut Robin's words short in order to prevent his master from saying anything that would aggravate Poppy's distress.“Tch!” Robin raised his folded hands slightly, waiting for Poppy to wrap her arms around him.Poppy, o
Poppy sighed deeply. She had remained silent, only responding when Verdi asked her name. They barely had time to talk before Robin shooed Verdi away. She smiled at him too, just to be friendly.‘A flirtatious smile? When did I do that?’ Poppy was puzzled by Robin's accusation that she never did.“I apologize.” However, she expressed regret for ending the conversation and satisfying him.Robin didn't seem pleased. Her apology appeared to imply that she regretted smiling flirtatiously at another man.So she admitted it!Robin, on the other hand, kept his rage under control so that Poppy would not become even more afraid of him. “Don't do that again. I don't want to hear anyone accuse my wife of seeking men's attention.”“Yes, sir.” If it was just the two of them, Poppy didn't feel the need to call Robin's name and make things awkward.“Robin.” Robin corrected her.“Yes, sir.”“Repeat what you said correctly!”“Okay, Robin.” Poppy spoke with a shaky voice.Poppy sighed with relief as she
Robin's hot breath tickled Poppy's eardrum. She moaned softly and opened her eyes slightly.As she was about to stretch, she was startled into complete consciousness. As soon as Robin realized she was awake, he straddled her in his chair and gently massaged her sensitive spots.His legs were between hers, making it difficult for her to move. She gently pushed on his chest, but her husband's body did not move.“Robin...” This time, Poppy made sure to call him correctly.Robin abruptly stopped moving when he heard her hoarse voice say his name. “Repeat it,” he ordered in a deep voice, not concealing his desire, which was suddenly heightened by his wife's voice.“W-What do you mean?”“Call my name,” Robin said softly near Poppy's ear.“R-Robin…”Robin suddenly bit Poppy's neck. Poppy let out a short whimper, which made Robin suck on her neck even harder, as if he was trying to drain her blood.“Mr. Robin, please stop... we're in a public place.” Poppy begged, afraid that someone would se
Poppy used to think negatively whenever someone said something bad about her. She wasn't always like that, before her bad experiences on Solterra Island.She had forgotten about the times when she was filled with joy and family warmth. She recalls them now because of her husband. Even though Robin denied his feelings, she could see through his lies.‘Mr. Robin, I saw your expression when you touched me. Why do you constantly speak ill of me and deny it? When you think I've closed my eyes, the expression on your face says everything.’Robin was similar to her late grandmother, who reprimanded her for trivial matters but loved her dearly. Although she wasn't sure if he had feelings for her, she knew one thing: Robin Luciano enjoyed making love with her.“Ah, come to think of it, you've made two mistakes, and I've only punished you once.”Robin's words confirmed that what she was seeing was not a lie. He still wanted her and was using an excuse to be intimate with her.‘That's why Mr. Ro
“Mrs. Poppy, what took you so long to open the door?”Poppy's eyes widened in surprise as she noticed Alice covering her entire body with a dark-colored blanket, leaving only her face visible. The girl shifted her head left and right, as if afraid of someone stalking her.“Because you didn’t respond to me earlier. What’s wrong, Alice?” Poppy wrapped her arm around Alice's shoulder as she led her into the room.“Can you let me sleep with you tonight?” Alice inquired.Poppy considered for a moment. Robin hadn't informed her that he wouldn't be coming to her room.She was secretly looking forward to her husband's arrival. She was fascinated and wanted to see the expression on his face while they made love.Her body tingled and became hot. His embrace seemed to surround her even when he wasn't present.She shouldn’t be comforted by a dangerous man who could endanger her life. But the feeling was unavoidable and kept bothering her.“I'm scared to sleep alone in my room. I've heard a man mo
Poppy dreamed about the gifts that Rafael had given her. Although Robin gave her luxurious gifts, Rafael's gifts were special because they were given directly to her.In her dreams, she felt that her brother-in-law loved her like family. She had dreamed of this for four years. However, her dream was shattered when she felt a painful bite on her shoulder. When she opened her eyes slightly, she immediately forgot about her dream.Robin gritted his teeth after leaving a bite mark on her shoulder that didn't hurt or bleed much. “How dare you break my rules in your dream and mention another man's name?” he snarled.Unfortunately, Poppy was still half asleep. She had no idea that Robin was behind her back.Robin then hugged her and tasted every inch of her skin until she was fully awake.She finally realized that the person behind her back was her husband, who had been disturbing her sleep. He guided her hand to her own pants, causing her to stop breathing.“Don't pretend to be asleep,” Rob
As Poppy moved her body, a stifled moan escaped her lips. She worked hard to impress Robin so that she could hear his passionate voice again. But he didn't respond.The bed creaked faster and faster. She was so engrossed in her own actions that she felt the peak of pleasure until she went limp, nearly falling on Robin's chest.“Mr. Robin...”“Don't stop.” Robin ordered as he assisted her in moving.Her hands held his shoulders for support. Her fast movement caused her blindfold to sag, revealing one of her eyes.She finally saw his expression, and her body shook even more. He kept his eyes closed the entire time, his mouth slightly open, feeling the pleasure. He enjoyed what she was doing, even though everything he said was denial.“You can never do anything properly.” Robin growled, still unaware that she was staring at him.She paused, trying to understand the meaning of her husband's words rather than the expression on his face. As soon as she stopped, he opened his eyes.They look
Antonio's eyes suddenly widened. A bizarre, almost unthinkable idea occurred to him.‘Perhaps Mr. Robin had missed Mrs. Poppy?’BANG!The loud bang of the door hitting the table next to the door silenced Antonio's prejudice.Robin opened the door to Poppy's room, but his wife was not there. Only Donna was there, cleaning the furniture.“Mr. Robin, are you looking for Mrs. Poppy?” Donna asked in surprise, adjusting her clothes as soon as she realized Robin's presence.“Do I look like I'm looking for you?” Robin snapped.“No, sir...” Donna stared at the floor, too afraid to look at Robin. “Mrs. Poppy is in the back garden with—”Robin took a step toward where his wife was instead of waiting for Donna to finish answering. He needed to reassure his wife that he had never been attracted to her so he wouldn't be bothered by his mistake again.‘What I did was a temporary lust, a man's instinct, because I wanted to have a child as soon as possible.’All of the stern words he intended to say t
The directors and colleagues at Luciano's company were completely surprised by what they heard. Robin Luciano would completely destroy Jerome's business simply because that person offended his wife's feelings.Poppy was no less surprised. She wanted to stop Robin's order, but Robin grabbed and half dragged her out of the room. She occasionally looked back to see Jerome kneeling and begging Antonio while shouting at them.“Madam and Mr. Robin Luciano, please forgive me!” Jerome exclaimed in tears. This time, the cafe owner looked terrified and sincerely apologized, even though it was too late.People who witnessed the incident realized something important: offending Robin Luciano's wife is the same as seeking a painful death.Businessmen's lives revolve around their businesses. If they lose everything, their lives will come to an end.Being poor is a painful, slow death. As a result, it wasn't uncommon for many cunning businessmen around Robin to use various methods to keep their wealt
Robin's loud voice immediately drew everyone's attention. There was no one there who didn't know Robin Luciano, and the music was quickly turned off.“Wow, Mr. Robin is also here!” One of Luciano's employees, a middle-aged man, exclaimed. He was standing, forcing the woman in his lap.“Gosh!” Another man not far from Robin approached and patted Jerome's shoulder. “Mr. Jerome, why did you offer a girl to a newlywed? Ha ha!”Jerome glanced down with embarrassment. He believed that all men in the Luciano family liked women. The rumor that Robin is of the same gender is somewhat contradicted by her marriage.However, many people, including Jerome, believe that Robin still enjoys having fun with women even after marriage. When he heard Robin was visiting his cafe, he instantly prepared the nicest woman he had recently purchased from Saul.Jerome is also aware of Poppy's presence but doesn’t regard Robin Luciano's wife as an important person. Poppy is viewed similarly to the jewelry that Ro
The man became very scared. Hearing Robin speak loudly and in an angry tone is disastrous for everyone.“I am Jerome, the owner of this cafe, and I sincerely apologize. I am delighted to see you visit my small café and even disturb your comfort.” Jerome immediately bowed politely and apologized.“Tsk! So what do you want?”“My cafe has a VIP room reserved for special guests. Several Luciano company directors are currently visiting this cafe. If you wish, I can take you to our special room and provide special service.”Robin thought for a moment. There's nothing wrong with flaunting Poppy in front of the company's directors so they can brag about their relationship until Dante hears it.He smiled faintly, imagining his grandfather's guilt-ridden expression. He is certain; Dante must still believe that his marriage is a fake, despite the fact that it is true.“Take us there.”Jerome's eyes and mouth curled up, expressing happiness. “Please follow me.” Then show the way politely.Robin w
“Damn, you should have shot your mother.” Robin was enraged, with all of his curses coming out of his mouth. His hands clenched tightly in his lap, as if he was trying to keep himself from hitting someone.Poppy smiled sadly as she acknowledged her husband's attention. “How can I kill him, sir? I lack the courage to—”“Oh, I can't take it anymore... I am going to meet the director of this film and ruin his career. He shouldn't make a weak male character based on his mother's trick!”Poppy's expression frowned as she looked at her husband. Robin's gaze remains fixed on the screen, and there are no earphones in his ears to eavesdrop on Rafael and Carita's conversation.“Damn woman, who is that annoying actress? I really want to tear apart the ugly face.” Robin expressed his rage.Poppy gaped, realizing Robin wasn't sympathizing with her but was preoccupied with the movie he was watching. She immediately turned her face away, concealing her embarrassed and disappointed expression.“I can
A soft cry was heard. Carita sobbed as she talked about her life. Poppy also shed tears.Poppy remembered that whenever her stepmother cried because she talked about her biological mother, they would always cry together. They have spent a lot of time in both joy and sorrow. As a result, she begged in her heart to hear that Carita did not intend to abandon her.“My adoptive sister's daughter was in the car on that tragic day. Her body has not been found. But, until now, I have not stopped looking for her.”They lived together for over ten years, but Carita said that Poppy was involved in an accident that killed her biological mother. With that one lie, her hope that Carita would never have a relationship with Saul vanished. Flint must've told her the truth that night.Tears streamed down Poppy's face. ‘Liar! Why are you telling that lie, Mother? What's my fault that you're so cruel to me? All this time, I have loved you with all my heart.’“I also hope to meet you and my sister-in-law.
“So why did I come here? Robin moved his face closer to Poppy's ear. Do you think I would have watched a movie in a cheap place like this if I hadn't been so kind to you?”Poppy immediately dismissed her prejudice. She has just realized that the movie being shown has a family drama theme.Even if Robin only wants to watch, she expects him to choose an action film with bloody fight scenes or shootouts so that he can learn from it.“Sit quietly and enjoy the food or movie while you wait. They will undoubtedly come.”“I'm sorry, but I am nervous.”She also tried to relax while staring at the screen, though she did occasionally look back. Until she noticed two people sitting in that empty chair.“They are coming, sir....” She shook Robin's arm without looking at him, but he did not react.Her chest rumbled as she saw a vague figure she was very familiar with. A woman who is already considered her biological mother and has been greatly missed over the last four years.In fact, she imagines
“We never even exchanged messages. After all—” Poppy closed her mouth to avoid saying what she was thinking. ‘Does Mr. Robin have control over my phone? He must be able to read all incoming messages and calls. Because of this, I rarely use the phone he gave me.’Robin said it as if he knew what Poppy was thinking, “Antonio takes care of everything related to you. Do you think I have time to monitor your phone? You should have asked me if you wanted to save another man's number!”Poppy's expression is quite predictable, as Robin frequently faces people and must observe their movements. Poppy, on the other hand, was always taken aback whenever he said something, as if he were responding to what she was thinking.“Sorry, I'll do that next. So how about Rafael?” Poppy immediately discussed the issue again.Robin's brow furrowed, revealing his frustration. He has repeatedly told her not to worry about Rafael's issue, but she persists. Apparently, she will not give up until she receives a d
“Mr. Robin!” Poppy exclaimed, opening the door roughly, with a panicked expression.Robin, who was still sitting on the bed, immediately turned toward the voice. He suddenly lost his anger and stared at his wife in amazement.Poppy walked quickly closer until the pink dress she was wearing waved as if blown by the wind. Robin could feel the freshness of the air hit him, especially when he saw his wife call his name again with a lovely smile, as she had done the day before when Poppy played with Alice.“Robin…” Poppy's voice was seductive.His body reacted instantly to the seduction. ‘Am I dreaming?’Poppy approached him as if she were a shining angel. His heart was racing, as if the world around him were only filled with the sound of his heartbeat.“What should I do, Mr. Robin?!”Poppy sat on the bed, dropping her body so that the mattress swayed. The unexpected movement jolted Robin's beautiful sight, which turned out to be his imagination.Robin blinked and noticed Poppy's worried e
Poppy was impatient to put food in her mouth. She immediately grabbed a plate for Robin. She placed it on the nightstand but only received her husband's sharp gaze.“Do you understand what it means to serve?”“I've taken your food. Please get up and enjoy your dinner.”Robin shook his head, astonished that Poppy didn't understand what he meant. “You know I'm still in bed, but you're still asking me to take the plate?”Poppy attempted to understand the meaning of his words. She took the plate and politely handed it to him.Robin then sat down. He didn’t do anything, didn't take the plate, just stared at her.“Sir, please take it.” Poppy urged him to accept the plate right away. Her hands could not bear carrying it for too long.“Sit down.”Poppy quickly sat down.“Use your hand to serve me.”Poppy was confused for a moment. ‘Did he want me to feed him?’She didn't want to waste time, so she cut the meat on the plate and reached a fork in front of him. The fork in her hand shook slightl
