“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
“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
“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
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.
“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
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
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 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
“I will accompany you to meet Mr. Rafael, Madam.” Marcello offered.Poppy put down the gun and nodded. She hurriedly followed Donna, who walked quickly despite appearing to forget something.While passing by the main building, Poppy remembered something she had forgotten. “Wait! I don't bring my phone!”Robin may call her. Poppy has been using her smartphone a lot lately while waiting for Robin's news.“Let me take it, Madam,” said Marcello.“No need. I'll take it.”Poppy turned around as she walked fast. Nevertheless, Marcello followed.When Marcello slightly opened the shooting practice area, he looked at Poppy with a furrowed brow. A gunshot rang out from inside the practice room, where no one usually dared to enter during Poppy's practice time.Poppy became worried when she realized Alice was still inside. “Alice is still there, right? What if an intruder injures her?”“Please follow me, madam. Don't act rashly, and let's watch it from afar first,” Marcello whispered.They walked
“So you were busy for four days and didn't get home because of this issue? I wish you were by my side...”Poppy's wishes shifted slightly. She would rather have Robin's presence than deal with the past, which cannot be repeated, although she does not deny the happiness she feels when Robin assists her in regaining the rights that Carita has taken away.In another Luciano headquarters, where Robin's loyal followers congregate, he is still typing on the phone. He had many things to say to Poppy, including threatening her not to smile in front of other men.However, he deleted all of the messages that had been typed. Robin finally typed only the necessary sentences.[All evidence that Carita was affiliated with a human trafficking organization has been gathered. However, when my men arrived to file a lawsuit against your stepmother, she was gone. You don't have to worry or be afraid if you don't leave the mansion.]Robin read the message twice before it was sent. He felt strange, like he
Poppy's intuition was correct. She was heartbroken when Robin stated his intention to reveal her true identity.‘I should be happy. I can effortlessly return to my former life. But it hurts so much knowing you might let me go,’ Poppy thought quietly as Robin let go of her hand and stepped into his office, as if this was the last time she could hold that man's hand.“Let's go inside, Madam.”Poppy took steps. However, when she entered her husband's office, the scene in front of her immediately distracted her.The large office space appeared to shrink as many big men filled it. Poppy couldn't help but be surprised when she noticed an unexpected figure among them: the person who had once asked for her assistance in obtaining Robin's permission after claiming to be afraid of him.However, that person is now sitting in the middle of a large man, dressed like a boss but without his snelli suit.“How are you doing, Mrs. Poppy?” His greetings are always friendly.“Doctor Capri, why are you he
‘Why is he suddenly calling me by that name?’ Poppy had a restless mind.She's not sure why she was upset when he called her by her real name. For a long time, she hoped Robin would call Poppy's name, but he seemed to want to distance himself, as if he wanted to return her to her home with Stella Valentine's identity.“What do you mean, Robin?”Robin's words to her about being able to protect herself can mean various things. However, only one thought came to her mind. He may abandon her, making it impossible for him to protect her.“Return to the shooting position.” Robin ordered, reluctantly explaining.Poppy finally resumed her training, even though she remained curious. They only talked about proper shooting technique, not his previous words.Even though she appeared to have forgotten his words, her mind was still filled with questions. She didn't dare to question or interrupt him, as he was serious about teaching her.“You will become accustomed to it and proficient if you study d
Robin paused while squeezing his chest. He doesn't understand why he suddenly felt someone calling him. When he sat down with a bad feeling, he raised both of his eyebrows.“What happened to the woman?” He muttered.He immediately swung his legs rapidly. Finally, he arrived at the shooting practice field in less than five minutes.“What are you doing, Jose?” Robin snapped when he noticed his wife pointing a gun at one of their prisoners.Robin's loud voice usually makes Poppy's chest tremble with fear. But she was so relieved to hear that sound that she wanted to throw the gun and run to hug him.“I comply with your request. Why?” Jose didn't understand Robin's outrage.“I told you to teach her to shoot and not kill people!”Robin cursed his heart. He shouldn't be distracted by minor issues like wedding rings. Because of his negligence, Poppy may recall her trauma.“Oh, I think it would be better if Mrs. Poppy used a human as a target. What if I change the target to an animal? She app
Meanwhile, Robin has no idea what difficulties his wife is facing. He is actually looking for a wedding ring that is both elegant and visible to everyone.“This one appears to fit on her ring finger.”Robin smiled with satisfaction as he folded his hands in front of his chest and leaned back in his chair. He imagined Poppy smiling broadly, showing off the ring to everyone, and then saying she belonged to Robin Luciano.“Mr. Robin, I am here.” Antonio opened the door and approached Robin, standing near his chair. “Are you planning to buy that ring?” He asked after seeing the computer.Robin squinted his eyes, noticing the suspicious movements of his right hand. When Antonio saw the ring with the colorless diamonds, he tilted his head slightly. He does not seem to like Robin's idea of purchasing the ring.“That ring does not suit you, sir.”“Do you think I'll wear it?”“Oh, do you want to buy that ring for Mrs. Poppy?”“People are doubting my marriage because you are unable to read the
“Sir, stop it... ahh,” complained a young girl.“Ah, dammit! Don't make too many moves! You're the one who seduced me... just spread your legs wider!”Poppy's eyes widened as she spotted a handsome man and a young girl naked on the couch. Her face flushed, and Robin closed her eyes.“Don't look at other men's things!” Robin fixed his gaze on them, who had finally become aware of his presence. “Get out of my office!” He snapped them.The man immediately dragged the girl out, carrying their clothing. Robin is used to seeing such scenes, but not with his wife or in his office.Robin attempted to contain his rage. It's only been two days since he didn't show up, and his office was used for immoral activities. He was eager to achieve his goal and finish them all off.“Robin...” Poppy attempted to release his hand after hearing the door close.Robin withdrew his hand from her eyes. He threw his jacket on the chair and called Antonio.“Where are you? Some people dare to make love in my offic
Dante's desire was so obvious that even Poppy, who was not particularly good at reading facial expressions, could recognize it. No matter what happens, she will not do vile things to others.Unfortunately, she did not have the authority to refuse his order. Robin stopped arguing with Dante as well.They have even arrived in front of the Luciano family headquarters at this point...“Hold my hand,” Robin said as they got out of the car.In that large Luciano headquarters parking lot, many tattooed men wear only sleeveless t-shirts. They immediately marched, briefly bowing to Robin.“Hello, Boss! It is unusual for you to come during the day,” said the burly man, the only one who was neatly dressed.“Grandpa instructed my wife to practice shooting. Prepare the place,” Robin ordered, leading Poppy through the large double door.“Oke, Boss!”“Remember, you must stay by my side,” Robin whispered.Poppy looked down. She squeezed her husband's leather jacket arm even more tightly.The atmosphe
Dante was suddenly threatened by their lies. What lies does Dante mean? Because they have told many lies.Is it about their fake marriage or Poppy's true identity?Poppy and Robin are silent. At the very least, they must listen first so that they do not misunderstand and respond differently than Dante means, which would expose their other lies.“Poppy, you can't lie about your life. Should I call you Stella from now on?”Dante immediately investigated Poppy's relationship with the two women who claimed to be her mother. His grandfather informant will not find much because Robin has closed off the majority of Poppy's past.However, there are still some people who know Carita and her family and can be interviewed. Dante receives additional information overnight, confirming that Carita is Poppy's real stepmother.Dante has yet to discover the truth about their relationship, which includes April, who has taken on a new identity. Robin has paid everyone who knows April, including those aro
