“Antonio Russo, how dare you betray me...” Robin cursed angrily. He clenched his fists with all of his strength, and his body trembled slightly.Robin's amber eyes are bright with rage. His gaze focused on the outside of the closed glass door.Antonio, Robin Luciano's closest confidant, stated that he was sick. However, he seduced Poppy while they sat intimately on the same bench. Antonio’s also seen smiling at his wife!Robin muttered, “He never laughs when he watches comedy movies.”Robin opened the door firmly. He then moved closer to the two people who were having an affair, determined to catch them. His steps, however, came to an abrupt halt.He blinked briefly when he heard other people speaking. Apparently, they weren't alone. There was Donna sitting between them.Lucia and four bodyguards sat on a bench facing each other across from a long wooden table. They had finished their dinner, leaving only a large bottle of beer, one of the Luciano family's legal products.Meanwhile, A
Poppy sat in the second-floor living room in front of her room, waiting for Capri to arrive, who had scheduled an appointment with her. She looked out the window at the clear afternoon sky, which showed that the sun was about to set. “Last night was really fun. That was the first time I had partied with other people,” Poppy thought. She was excitedly thinking about the next event that Donna would prepare for. The sound of footsteps brought her attention to the door. Capri appeared shortly afterwards. The doctor greeted her with a distinctive smile. She then stood up and greeted him. “You look better than before, Madam,” Capri stated politely. Despite knowing Poppy's background and the fact that she was only bought by Robin, he never underestimated her. “Yes. I've been resting a lot and having fun lately.” Poppy wanted to brag a little about her new experience. Poppy assumed Capri was talking about her previous health problems when she fell unconscious. Capri, on the other hand,
Poppy suddenly hesitated. She wants to make many friends, but she is hesitant to talk to Robin first or disrupt her husband's busy schedule.“You don't seem to be pleased with my idea,” Capri said.“It's not like that, sir, but you can bring your daughter here straight away.”Robin doesn’t forbid Poppy from making friends with anyone. As long as she avoids other men who could harm her reputation.“Madam, I can't do that. Mr. Antonio informed me that Mr. Robin no longer allows people to come here without his direct permission.”‘Could it be because of me? Mr. Robin must be afraid that outsiders will discover my true identity,’ Poppy reasoned.“If you really don't want to be friends with my daughter, I won't insist.” Even though Capri said it calmly, Poppy felt guilty again.Capri stood up with a sad expression. Poppy refused to help him twice, causing him to feel vaguely disappointed.“Okay, Madam, I will go home now. My daughter must have been waiting at home… sadly.”Poppy was still
Robin does not appear to be in a hurry, but his steps are wide and quick. His mouth grumbled in response to the annoying call, but he didn't care about the water dripping from his body, which soaked the carpet with each step.Aside from not wearing a towel because he wanted to answer his wife's phone call right away, he also forgot to rinse the shampoo from his hair and ignored the foam that almost covered his left eye.Robin's wet hands quickly grabbed the phone. However, because his hands were slippery, he dropped his phone on the floor.“Ah!! Damn!” Robin shouted angrily. The foam from his hair got into his eyes and made them hurt.The phone's ringing stopped before it finally resumed. This time, he answered the phone while wiping off the shampoo foam that had fallen on his face.His eyes flickered to relieve the pain. Until he didn't pay attention to the caller's name.“Are you trying to make me angry?” Robin snapped abruptly. He had pretended not to be in a hurry to pick up the p
Robin finished his shower quickly because he wanted to find out why Poppy was calling him. Who knows? Perhaps the guest meets his wife and suspects her true identity, or she has made a huge mistake and will apologize to him.Robin didn't think he was particularly pleased to be called by his wife. He was also unwilling to admit that his deep heart was wondering if she missed him.After entering the dining room and only seeing the beautiful woman who was the guest dining alone, Robin immediately instructed Antonio to look for Poppy's whereabouts. Antonio quickly informed him of her current location.And here he is now. Eavesdropped on Poppy's conversation from the side of the house, not far from where she was.“Antonio, do our bodyguards always behave disgustingly like that?”“They don't, sir.” Antonio swallowed his saliva with difficulty. “I'll reprimand them, sir. Should I call them right now?”“No. Let them rest according to their schedule,” Robin said coldly.Robin still wonders if
Antonio's mouth and eyes widened as he realized he had miscomposed the words. The sentence that came out of his mouth was identical to the content of his thought.He wanted to stop, but Robin Luciano's gaze caused his mouth to move spontaneously, “I'd like to protect Mrs. Poppy from you...” His voice is becoming quieter.They remained silent for a while, as if they were trying to trust their hearing. Finally, Robin turned to leave Antonio, who was stunned by himself.“Sir...” Antonio called softly, not daring to catch up with Robin. However, he continued to walk slowly behind him over a long distance.Robin, on the other hand, was extremely disappointed in his right hand. Antonio Russo is not like any other ordinary subordinate whom he can trust. They have known each other for fifteen years! Robin, however, was betrayed by the person he held in high regard.“Sir, I did not mean to say that.”Robin became even angrier as he barely heard Antonio's words. He knew Antonio so well that he
“There is no way any woman will pass up the opportunity to seduce Mr. Robin if she is allowed to enter this home.” Lucia continued reassuringly, “Based on her appearance, that woman appears to be a prostitute. You understand what I mean, right? You must immediately give birth to Mr. Robin's child.”“Don't scare Mrs. Poppy, Lucia!” Dell poured beer into Poppy's nearly empty glass. “Drink it, Madam, so you can relax.”Poppy took the glass and drank the beer. Her bladder felt very full from the beer, which was not too tipsy but enough to make her head spin a little.“I'm going to the toilet and then back to my room. You can continue the party without me.” Poppy stood up and drank another glass of beer to alleviate his anxiety.“I will accompany you, madam.”Poppy held Donna's shoulder as she prepared to stand up from the chair. “There's no need, Donna. Anyway, I am going to sleep right away.”Poppy entered the main building right after saying her goodbyes. She tried to walk upright and n
Poppy is concerned that her role as Robin's wife will be replaced by another woman. She doesn't want to be thrown away or killed when she is no longer needed. And she definitely doesn't like seeing Robin with another woman!‘Yes, I am jealous! I want to stop that woman from having an affair with my husband. Even though we are in a contract marriage, our marriage is still legally binding!’“Madam, what's the problem?” Antonio asked cautiously. He was taken aback when Poppy spoke loudly and eventually shed tears from one of her eyes. “I promise to help you. Could you tell me about your current anxiety?”Poppy suddenly approached Antonio and grabbed his forearms. Antonio's heart trembled as he met her pleading gaze.“Please, call Mr. Robin right now.”After a moment of thought, Antonio responded, “I'll take you to the third floor.”“No, Mr. Robin will punish me if I go to the third floor. Just call Mr. Robin, Antonio, please.”Poppy's brain felt frozen, and she couldn't think of anything
“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
