Evan watched as Maya gently removed the hand that covered his face. The girl smiled gently, as she looked at Evan with a sad look."I believe you. I too, believe in you Evan. And don't worry, I'm a magical girl he won't be able to beat easily. Ah, no. I'll never lose to him. You don't have to worry. And sorry… I never knew you've been suffering like this all this time."Evan fell silent as Maya tried to calm him down with her soft voice. In her beautiful eyes, Evan could again see the determination that could make people believe in her words. Maya is a very strange girl. Even her abilities and attitudes all this time have proven that Maya is not the same as the people he has met so far.Maya is different. And it was that difference that had saved Evan time and time again."… Sorry I kissed you without your permission."Maya's face suddenly turned red as their warm conversation suddenly turned in an unexpected direction. At their wedding earlier, Evan did kiss Maya because the guests fo
Anton's eyes stared coldly at the file about Finola in his hands. Since the innocent girl suddenly cut off her relationship with her family, Anton had started to be wary of her whereabouts. But Anton didn't really think that the girl's transformation could get to the point where a girl who usually only spoke in a stuttering tone dared to provoke him directly like that.Not just provoking. For Anton, the girl had tried to threaten him at the wedding. The girl dared to openly oppose him, when even his nephew never dared to do so again.Anton never liked having a chess piece that not only had a mind of its own, but also liked to go against his plans. Anton kept the file on his desk, before picking up his cell phone to dial a certain number."I want you to destroy the beehive. I will send the address right now. One hundred million dollars, if you can kill them as usual," said Anton without further ado."… Twenty million dollars as a down payment," replied his interlocutor in a deep voice.
Maya violently shook Evan's body, so the man could get up immediately. She didn't know when another killer would break into Evan's room again. From her experience, there shouldn't be only one killer in Evan's main house. Maya's priority is to protect her husband. She had to quickly make sure Evan is safe, before she could do anything to the killers.When Evan was shaken that hard, it didn't take long before the man finally woke up with a furrowed brow. The man looked at Maya confusedly, as the girl kept her index finger in front of her lips to signal Evan not to say much for now."First, I want you to stay calm, Evan. Currently, an assassin has just infiltrated the main house. All the CCTV has been turned off by someone. We can't contact outsiders because I can no longer get a signal in this house. But don't worry, everything will be fine. Now I want you to hold this gun, hide in the closet, and not come out, regardless of what's going on around you. I'm going to go outside and looking
Maya step carefully as each step is carried out with a lot of calculation. Since Maya had handed her gun to Evan as a means of self-defense, Maya could only rely on a knife as her main weapon to fight those assassins. The thing she was most afraid of right now wasn't an assassin who could ambush her at any moment. She also had to consider the possibility of a long-range shooter, who had taken their position from a place that Maya didn't know in Evan's spacious house.Because when facing a threat, Maya always remembers that she has to keep thinking about the worst situation.However, that worry is not Maya's priority right now. Given that Evan's house was far from the crowd, if they did have a sniper, they should at least know where their enemy was before they could have a chance to shoot. As long as Maya isn't in the shooter's range, Maya believes she can put the shooter's problem aside for now.The priority right now was to take the close range enemies, as they were the most likely to
Staggering, Kevin finally managed to get up as well after they were done with their preparations. Both Kevin and Maya cautiously walked out from the room, after both of them making sure that the surrounding area was still safe.“Follow me,” Kevin said as he turned toward the stairs that connected the second and third floors, where Evan was right now. But the man stopped again when Maya didn't take the same turn as him. The girl stopped in front of the door, as she looked to the other way instead with a serious expression.“As I thought, I can't wait that long, Kevin. You go to treat your wound in Evan's room. Just be careful when you want to open the bathroom because I have a hostage there. I'll kill the rest of the assassin who are still alive. I know that hiding will not increase our chances to survive…”Kevin's brows furrowed when he heard Maya's words. The man came closer to grab Maya's hand, as he seriously warned the girl one more time.“This isn't a game, Finola. They're real ki
When Maya runs with all her might to keep the bomb away from Evan's house, the girl is caught unprepared when she receives gunfire from an unknown direction. Maya quickly hid as her eyes stared wildly at the area around Evan's house. Maya stared anxiously at the bomb that only had two minutes left to explode, then cursed as her brain worked hard to find a way out of her current precarious situation.If Maya forced staying away from Evan's house, the sniper would definitely shoot her dead from a direction that Maya couldn't figure out yet. But if she just stayed silent and hid, the bomb she was carrying could also crush her body into pieces. Maya almost lost all of her hope, when she managed to see a brief flash of the rifle's scope used by the long-range shooter.Maya could only bet at this point. Her smile turned bitter as she realized what she was betting on her mind. Neither in the past nor in the present, it seemed that she could not achieve a peaceful life without an uphill battle
When the police arrived, they couldn't help but stare in awe at the chaotic scene in Evan's famous, secluded house. Blood was splattered everywhere, while bomb marks looked horrific in one corner of the large courtyard. Yesterday, the house looked like a beautiful palace because of Maya and Evan's wedding. But on the next day, the secluded house seemed to have just been hit by a great war that almost destroyed the beautiful house.There were only a few people left after the police cleaned up the bodies that were left behind. Evan, Kevin, and Maya were questioned without exception. The police who heard the explanation of the three couldn't believe themselves when they listened to their testimony. Some policemen like to hear rumors that exist in the upper classes. And it's the first time they knew, the illegitimate child of the Max family had extraordinary fighting abilities, as if the girl was used to being in battlefield.If they didn't have evidence that the group had indeed broken in
“Hah…”A police officer, sighing heavily, as he stared at the bloodstains that pooled under his feet. According to the information they've gathered so far, this attack occurred right on the wedding day of the owner of the house. As if they couldn't find another day, the assassins destroyed Evan's house on that special day. Even when the police checked the other rooms, they could still find a pile of gifts that remain untouched in one room. According to Nina, the head maid who was stayed in the house to help with their investigation, the gift should have been opened by Maya after the party was over. However, because Evan was sick, and now some assassins attack the house, the gift was left before Maya could see it.The surprise fails, and his house is attacked by strangers on their wedding night. The cop really sympathized with Evan's bad luck. Maybe the words that say that rich people don't necessarily live happily are true after all. Not only did he have to lose his family, Evan almost
After being reassured by Evan, Maya's mood improved so much that the girl didn't mind responding to people's greetings. Throughout the event, Maya smiled, spreading a positive aura which also affected Evan, who was initially a little annoyed by the gossiping girls. Under Maya's amusement, Evan finally had a more friendly face as they entered the cinema room while holding hands. The two of them sat on the bench that had been prepared. Evan rubbed Maya's hand lightly, as he whispered to the girl in a worried tone.“You can let me know whenever you sense that this movie is starting to make you uncomfortable. Remember, your happiness is my priority right now.”Maya smiled as she returned her husband's whisper. “I see. Thank you, Evan,” she said sincerely. Evan nodded in response to his wife's words. His face was very gentle, as he looked at his wife's face with great affection.After all the guests entered the room, the atmosphere gradually calmed down as the lights finally turned off. Wit
When the time came, Maya went to the premiere with Evan and a driver. Because they had to get ready before Evan's work time over, Kevin was forced to not be able to accompany them to complete the task left by Evan. Seeing Kevin working hard, Maya subconsciously felt sorry for him and started joking that Evan should give Kevin an appreciation for what the man had done for them all this time. But unexpectedly, Evan actually nodded in response to her words. Only when they were in the car, Evan finally open his mouth about the meaning of his nod.“I plan to transfer twenty-five percent of my family's wealth under his name. I really want to give more. But given his personality, he'd be upset if I gave him too much. I haven't talked about transferring this wealth to him. Do you mind if I do, Maya?”With the business and assets that Evan owns, twenty-five percent is enough for Kevin to spend the rest of his life in luxury without needing to work again. Maya satisfactorily shook her head. “He
[Orlando Family's Sole Heir Awakening.]Maya read the news with slightly furrowed brows. It was not the content of the news that annoyed her this time. But the comments, really annoyed Maya when the girl read them one by one.When Evan got sick, everyone judged their love story in a relatively negative way. Some think Maya only married for Evan's wealth. While others, feel sorry that Maya has to marry a dying man like Evan. Only few people who's sincerely wish for their happiness. But when news of Evan's recovery had spread, people seemed to be competing to delete their previous comments and start praising them as the happiest couple on earth. Some even claimed to know her or Evan, and praised their compatibility, even though Maya didn't actually know that people.Now Maya knew why Evan had been so isolated from the outside world all this time. In a time when Evan was at his worst, the man knew that no one was willing to help him except those who were sincere to him. People, who laugh
Once they arrived at the hospital, Diana had finished being examined and was resting in the infirmary with her friends. The incident seemed too shocking for the young girls, so neither of them spoke until Maya entered the room with Evan and Kevin.“Sorry, we came late. How are you guys doing now?”Diana's eyes immediately reddened when she remembered Maya had saved her life again. Maya, aware of Diana's feelings, immediately approached the girl. Maya let Diana hug her tightly, while she herself tried to calm Diana by gently stroking her back.“It's fine. You're safe now ….”Maya whispered softly while her eyes stared at Evan and Kevin, who were invited out by two of Diana's friends. Maya knew the two of them would most likely talk about Diana's examination results or just allow Diana some space to express her feelings. The girl waited until Diana was completely calm, before she let go of their embrace and wiped the tears that rolled down the Diana's cheeks.“Feeling better?” Maya aske
“Then, I hope you will be willing to listen to my advice.”While Maya was running everywhere looking for Diana, Evan and Kevin had just finished talking to the Dean and were being ushered out of the room. They were just about to open the door, when the head of the university security entered in such a hurry that he almost bumped into Evan, who was at the door.“I'm sorry, Sir. But someone just got into a fight in the warehouse!”People's faces turned red with embarrassment when the head of security reported the problem while Evan and Kevin were still in the room. They had just promised to increase security within the university. And now, someone even reported that there had just been a fight on the campus.“What are you saying? If the students start fighting, you can just bring them here without causing any unnecessary fuss!”The Dean scolded before Evan or Kevin grew suspicious of them. When Evan personally came to this university, they thought they could curry favor with Evan a litt
Elsewhere, Diana fell back hard when someone kicked her in the stomach. Her friends, Evelyn and Josephine, can only cry when they are held back by the other man, so they can't help Diana. Ever since Diana came to campus, the girl couldn't count how many insults she had received just for today. However, the treatment he received from this unknown guy, was the worst of all. When Diana arrived at her class, she was suddenly dragged out by these strong people. The beautiful clothes her father had given her were already messed up by the dirt and trash that had previously been dumped on her body. Diana stared at the ground with teary eyes. She knew, this was her punishment for having a father who had ruined many people's lives with his actions.“Oh my gosh, take a look. Mr. Anton's magnificent daughter looks like walking dirt right now.”The other kids laughed as one of them insulted Diana while looking at her mockingly. Slowly, Diana tried to get up again, even though her body was already
“Diana told you she was going back to college? Good then. I'll see you at university later.”“Ah, I'll take care of university matters. Just tell Diana to focus on her studies.”“No, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do as a family. Thanks for letting me know. See you at the campus.”Evan watched as Maya called one of Diana's friends. After yesterday's funeral, Maya finally believed that she would start her studies today. The girl was ready to go to college, when one of Diana's friends called his wife.“Diana finally ready to go to her classes again?” Evan asked curiously.Maya nodded. “Yes. Diana told her friends that she was ready to go back to college today. I think yesterday's meeting really helped her. I plan to meet her at college later. Since yesterday, we haven't heard any news about Aunt Cynthia's condition, have we?”Cynthia is Diana's mother and Anton's wife. Because the woman was completely shaken yesterday, Maya and Evan were forced to go home before Cynthia could wake
“Well, you're handsome now.”Evan stealthily stole a kiss on his wife's cheek when Maya finished helping him get ready. “You're also gorgeous, Maya,” he whispered softly when he saw Maya, who was wearing a matching black outfit. They will attend Anton's funeral this afternoon. Evan did it for his aunt and Diana, as well as for his official appearance with a healed body.Besides Anton, as a businessman, Evan also has many enemies who take advantage of his illness to steal some of his company's projects. Evan will appear to give them a warning. That his family has not been destroyed. And he, didn't die the way the people wanted him to.“Are you sure you want to come with me this time? Since you were accepted into university, you haven't come to attend your first class yet. And now … You have to postpone your studies again to accompany me.”Maya laughed when she heard her husband's concern. “Let's see if they have the courage to speak up after deliberately sneaking a kidnapper in the so-
Maya watched as Evan seemed quieter these days. The man did try to act normal. But Maya knew, that sometimes his mind was elsewhere. Maya is afraid that Anton's death will have a bigger impact than she thought. Maya slightly frowned, when her eyes saw her husband was preparing to clean himself with a warm bath.When Evan entered the bathroom, Maya casually stood up and took off her clothes. With calm steps, Maya entered the bathroom. Her act has causing Evan, who was originally soaking in the bath tub, to jump up from his surprise.“You-”Evan's face turned redder as Maya calmly entered the same bath tub that Evan was using. Because Evan's bath tub is huge, Maya has no trouble finding a comfortable position on the same bath tub. The woman smiled, when she saw her husband's face turning even redder.“You've been looking troubled since Sergeant Kris came this morning. I'm fine now, so … I should be able to cheer you up, shouldn't I?”Evan, who usually wasn't concerned about such temptat
