Grey then approached Keyara and gently kissed her cheek, then his kisses crawled up to her forehead, then her eyes, and then her nose. Grey did it very gently as if he was holding a fragile, valuable ornament.Keyara even felt ticklish and her heart was beating faster than before. But unlike before, Keyara could feel the happiness radiating from within her like sweat.Keyara was happy because Grey loved her like that."Key?" suddenly someone called out to her. Keyara and Grey turned simultaneously to the sound. Nick was standing two meters away from them. His face looked shocked to see his sister kissing someone in front of their house."Nick?!" Keyara looked surprised, her face turning red. It was uncomfortable for her to be caught kissing someone by her brother with such a face. How bad was it to kiss a man?"Eww!" Nick looked disgusted. He walked towards his sister and pushed Keyara behind his body. With strange anger, Nick immediately pointed at Grey."What are you doing to my sis
Grey parked his car in the driveway of his house. His eyes caught sight of a white Ferrari parked nearby, and his heart skipped a beat.He opened the car door and made his way to the front door of his house.Grey's suspicion was correct. Ares was in the living room, sitting with his legs crossed. One of Grey's housekeepers was placing drinks on the table.Grey suddenly felt anxious. He did not expect Ares to come to his residence."Hey," Ares waved, like an old friend.Grey's housekeepers knew Ares. Ares had visited Grey's house a few times before. They used to be very close before their busy schedules separated their friendship."Why are you here?" Grey asked in an unfriendly tone."I've been trying to reach you. But it seems my calls never went through," Ares said in a somewhat mocking tone."Sorry, I've been busy.""Oh, busy. Yes, we're both entrepreneurs. Busy people rarely have free time, and sometimes work makes us forget about our personal lives," Ares' voice sounded sympatheti
Keyara touched her neck and became nervous. Grey, being mischievous, touched Keyara's neck with his finger, stroking it quickly and causing Keyara's hair to stand on end.As the elevator door opened, Tony, Keyara, and Brian exited, followed by Grey. Keyara caught Grey glancing at her mischievously, causing her to growl in annoyance. Grey briefly touched her neck again, startling and shuddering her.Tony, Keyara, and Brian walked toward their division's area.At that moment, Tony and Keyara saw Sean and Ishida had already arrived and were drinking coffee. Seeing Keyara arrive with Tony, they immediately teased her."Oh, coming together, huh? Did you plan this?""Hey, I don't count!" Brian immediately stepped out from behind Tony, his shorter stature making him hard to spot.Seeing Brian come out from behind Tony, their friends laughed.As Keyara headed towards her desk, her phone suddenly rang. Keyara looked at the screen and held her breath when she saw Grey's name. Not wanting to dra
Keyara had briefly touched Grey's arm, but he only looked at the woman he had married yesterday with a fiery gaze, making Keyara feel guilty and finally choosing to let Grey's hand move slowly inside her blouse.Ah, Keyara felt as though her head was empty. All she felt was a rising sense of pleasure.Grey then traced the bra to the back of Keyara's spine, intending to release the hook that fastened it, but his intention was halted by a knock on the door three times.With a grumble, he stopped his activity of undressing Keyara. Grey looked towards the door."Who is it?" he asked sharply."Sorry, Sir, it's Tony," replied Tony from behind the door.Grey sighed irritably and then stood up, looking towards Keyara who was rearranging her clothes. After making sure that Keyara was done, Grey gestured for her to stand beside the sofa. Grey himself then opened the door.Tony was standing in front of the door, carrying some files."Why are you here?" Grey asked in an annoyed tone."I want to p
Keyara hurriedly ran towards the toilet in panic. Ruri and Anya looked at each other and then followed Keyara to the restroom.Once Keyara entered the women's toilet, she immediately looked in the mirror to observe the bruise on her neck. She found it when she let her long hair down and looked at the left side of her neck. The pinkish-red bruise on her slender, white neck appeared to be circular. She didn't have it this morning when she was blow-drying her hair and looking at herself in the mirror. The bruise must have been from Grey. Was it a mark from a kiss? Perhaps it was a hickey!Keyara covered her mouth in shock. Was Grey really like a lustful Dracula made of desire? How could her boss do such a thing openly in the office? It couldn't be an impulsive act, could it?As Keyara was examining her neck and touching the bruise, Anya and Ruri entered the toilet. Their arrival made Keyara even more anxious."Sorry, Key!" Ruri exclaimed as she entered the restroom. "You must be embarra
After the hickey tragedy that happened to Keyara, she couldn't stop thinking about Grey that day. Grey's passionate touches. Kisses land on Keyara's skin. Grey's fiery eyes, all made Keyara feel hot. As if there were embers slowly turning red and burning Keyara's body from the inside.Keyara even felt pain. Her body pulsated unexpectedly. Something wild and primal wanted to spurt out of all her pores.Grey had successfully aroused Keyara's desire, making it difficult for her to concentrate on work that day.Keyara became restless and then chose to go outside the office to the office terrace. The breeze blew, causing Keyara's hair to sway and move with the wind. Being on the seventh-floor terrace felt different. The seventh floor was special because its terrace was wider than other floor terraces.Facing the spring air made her feel comfortable. It was already May, and soon it would enter the summer season. Grey looked at his phone that was in his hand. He wanted to call. Since earlier
Keyara sweetly smiled at Grey, making her husband feel like he was floating on air. As newlyweds, their passion still burned bright. Especially since Keyara had yet to allow Grey to touch her, leaving Grey's desires purely in the realm of fantasy. But it was this very fact that made Grey eager to continue seeing Keyara."So, where should we eat?" Keyara asked as she fastened her seatbelt."You can choose. Do you want to try a Japanese, Thai, Chinese, or Italian restaurant? It's up to you," Grey offered.Keyara pondered for a moment before saying, "Going to an Italian restaurant sounds intriguing.""Okay, I know a great Italian restaurant," Grey said proudly. The car then sped off, with neither of them realizing that a black car was following them from behind.Hela intentionally kept her distance and used a rental car to easily tail them. Her emotions had been in turmoil since leaving the hospital, especially when Grey didn't come to visit her again. Hela just wanted to make sure of so
Keyara looked towards the side of the road, observing the street. Suddenly, Grey pulled over his car, causing Keyara to turn her head in his direction."Why?" she asked.Grey unfastened his seatbelt, then leaned towards Keyara. He then kissed her cheek and pulled her other cheek towards him, so that her face was facing him, and then he passionately kissed her lips.Hela, who was behind Grey's car, immediately walked slowly towards the car, and as she passed their car, her eyes widened in shock. The slow-moving car passed in just a few seconds, but it was enough to devastate Hela. She saw Grey and Keyara kissing inside the car.Something black in her heart became even darker. She then sped away in her car, making a U-turn at the traffic light that was five hundred meters ahead. She accelerated her car like a maniac.Keyara was surprised by Grey's sudden kiss. Her face turned red because of the way Grey kissed her. Grey released her lips and then thr
Keyara felt almost choked up seeing Grey arrive. She hadn't expected Grey to come at all. How did he come? Keyara looked towards her father, her eyes betraying curiosity. Seeing Mr. Oliver's gaze, Keyara knew that Mr. Oliver must have been the one to inform Grey that he should come.Grey burst in, then swiftly pulled Keyara's body out of the chair and embraced her tightly. Keyara even found it difficult to breathe for a moment."I'm grateful you're back, I truly had no idea where else to look for you!" Grey exclaimed with joy.Keyara tried to hold her breath as Grey continued to hold her tightly, but at the thirtieth second, she couldn't bear it any longer. She attempted to convey to Grey that she was having trouble breathing in such a tight embrace.Grey quickly released his embrace. He smiled with happiness."Ah, now that Grey is here. Grey should also take a seat," Keyara said.Grey nodded and promptly took a seat on their sofa."Where have you been, Key? What have you been doing,
Keyara was startled, quickly gripping Ares' hand and then leaning over, getting closer to his face."Ares... you awake?!" Keyara asked with a mixture of anxiousness and joy.Ares' initial response was just a slow movement of his fingers, then his mouth moved gradually. Seeing Ares' lips moving, Keyara leaned in closer, placing her ear nearby. She could hear a faint and gentle voice."Yara..."Keyara immediately tightened her grip on Ares' hand. "Yes, I'm here...""Yara..." Ares' voice sounded weak. "Water..." He uttered, prompting Keyara to press the button to call the nurse.A few moments later, several nurses and doctors entered the ICU room. Keyara stepped back against the side wall, watching as the doctors busied themselves examining Ares, ensuring his condition, checking his vital signs, and his consciousness.Berry, standing behind the large glass window, looked on with joyful eyes. He was thankful that his boss had awakened from his coma.After a while, the doctor turned to fac
Grey was seen fixing his tie and then admiring himself in the mirror. Today wasn't Sunday; he had rearranged his schedule and would arrive around noon. His plan for the day was to visit Keyara, take her out for a while, and then return to the office.Grey decided to take it slow, considering that Keyara hadn't regained her memories yet. It must have been quite a shock, but Grey was confident that if he reassured Keyara, their marriage could be restored.Thus, Grey whistled happily, imagining all the positive things in his mind. As he descended the stairs, his cheerful demeanor caught the attention of his mother, Ms. Maple."Grey, why do you look so delighted? Is there something pleasing you?" Ms. Maple inquired upon seeing Grey's joyful attitude.Ah, Grey smirked and realized he hadn't shared the joyful news of Keyara's return with his parents yet."Well, you could say that," Grey replied, then approached and joyfully kissed his mother's cheek."Oh, are you going to share it with me?"
"Miss..." Berry tried to gently pull Keyara back to prevent her from falling."Now, where is he?" Keyara asked, her voice trembling. Tears had already started streaming down her cheeks."Mr. Ares is currently at the hospital," Berry replied.Keyara clenched her fists, her hands pressed against her lips in distress. "Bring me there, Berry. I need to see him," Keyara said, her voice quivering as she fought back tears.Berry nodded. He would do just that. Berry guided Keyara towards his car, where the headlights still illuminated them. He opened the back door for her to make it easier for her to get in. Keyara looked uneasy as she got in, sitting down with shallow breaths.For the first time, Keyara felt as if her heart had plunged into a dark swamp. Upon hearing the news of Ares being in a coma, she felt like quicksand was pulling her down and ready to swallow her.Berry drove with occasional glances back through the rearview mirror. He saw Keyara's pale face. Berry was actually relieve
Keyara held her breath. She had accidentally stepped outside her room, intending to go downstairs for a drink, but the conversation between her parents was audible from where she stood. Her heart felt wounded. Even though they were her parents, hearing them say that the child she had given birth to was unwanted hurt deeply. Keyara slowly retreated and then re-entered her room.Keyara curled up on the bed, burying her face in her knees. Her feelings were crushed. While she knew the truth about Ares and Lion, who were considered her birth parents, were unremembered entities to her. Even Grey. Although Keyara had once been infatuated with Grey and thought about him, her memories of Grey were limited to their meeting in Spain.Keyara felt like she didn't belong here. She didn't recognize this room. Despite her many photos displayed on the walls, she didn't know any of those faces.Keyara pressed her face into her knees, drowning her confusion and sadness.It seemed like just yesterday her
Keyara fell silent in her room, tears streaming down her face. Her memories hadn't returned yet, but the recent events had hit her heart hard. She had been deceived, for a very long time.Keyara suddenly bit her lip, how could she have been in love with Ares back then? Letting that man claim her, while he had already committed a grave wrong against her.Keyara still seemed visibly shaken. Trying to process all the new information was like attempting to digest an overwhelming wave. She felt the need to be alone, closing and locking her door. Though her surroundings felt unfamiliar due to her memory issues, she recognized that this was her room.From behind the closed door, a knocking sound reached her ears. Keyara hastily wiped her tears away. Clearing the traces of her emotions that were still lingering."Who is it?" Keyara asked, her voice slightly louder than usual."Key, it's me..." Grey's voice sounded.Keyara fell silent, her face now pale. The barrage of incoming information fel
Ares wiped his nose. The thick, red liquid streaked across his hand. He remembered a time in junior high when he had bled, back when he faced bullying. But Ares wasn't one to back down when confronted by oppressors. He fought back, leaving his tormentors with broken bones and a call to their parents. Ares never stopped fighting.Afterward, he never allowed anyone to make him bleed again. He delved into boxing, karate, and marksmanship. He fortified his body to ensure no one dared lay a hand on him again.And now, someone had made his nose bleed again. It was the man who had been his friend in the past, now turned into an enemy and a rival for Keyara's love. Ares was in his worst state. He couldn't even muster a punch against Grey, not with the emotional turmoil, he felt, akin to a churning black hole.Grey seemed unsatisfied; he wanted to hurt Ares even more. Making Ares realize that Grey, standing before him, was the man rightfully in possession of Keyara. Ares had audaciously propos
Ares removed his helmet. Then he opened the gate. The house appeared deserted. He hesitated slightly. Bringing Keyara to this place, what now?Initially, he wanted to step back, but something in his heart urged him to move forward again. Now or never.His feet, which were initially uncertain, took another step. The open door revealed no one. He proceeded with caution. Ares entered the house without permission.Grey's eyes widened when he saw a figure entering the living room. Quickly, Grey stood up."You!" Grey exclaimed, rising to his feet.Mr. Oliver turned around, equally surprised by the middle-aged man's presence.Ares stepped into the separate family room, formed by a partition that resembled a door."How did you get here?!" Grey demanded.Mr. Oliver stood up. Then unexpectedly, the middle-aged man approached and slapped Ares' face. The man who appeared out of nowhere was now taken aback.Ares held his stinging cheek. His eyes squinted in bewilderment."You dare to come here aft
Ares continued to stare at Doctor David. His eyes were intense, laden with pressure, while Doctor David seemed to try to remain composed.Ares smiled, "Even if Grey were to know, logically, no one else should know. Especially not an outsider like you, knowing about Keyara's situation. Unless... you were the one who leaked the information to Grey himself. Am I wrong in my suspicion?" Ares turned around now, finding Doctor David pale in place.Ares seemed to clench his fists, then he asked again, "How much were you paid to provide that information to Grey?"Doctor David shook his head, "No... it's not like that...""HOW MUCH WERE YOU PAID!!" Ares raised his voice.Anyone who heard Ares' escalated tone would surely feel fear. Ares always managed to instill horror and fear when he bared his angry fangs."On... One hundred thousand..." Doctor David stuttered in reply.Ares growled, then he turned to Berry, "Call the security, then toss this bastard onto the streets!""Mr. Ares... but... yo
