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
“Hah… It's boring if I can't exercise in a place like this…”Maya muttered in a gloomy tone as the girl stared sadly at the beautiful courtyard in front of Evan's villa. Maya's plans to work out as usual in the morning were immediately shattered when Evan insisted on preventing her from getting out of the house and just resting for a few days. However, Maya had pushed her body too far in the attack that took place at Evan's house. The doctor advised Maya not to overexert her body just for a few weeks. But with an excited face, the girl already wanted to exercise again this morning.It looks like the amazing food that Maya has created, had made the girl think the injuries on her body weren't a big deal. Evan's eyes turned dull, as his feelings got really complicated as he thought that way.But for Maya, who is used to living in danger, the girl only thinks that she has to put her body in the same state as her past life as fast as she can. Maya feels guilty for taking this safe world too
“Ugh.”Kevin groaned softly as he woke up, and an immediate pain hit his entire body. The man tried to stretch his aching body. Ever since Maya stayed with them and helped them get a quality sleep with her cooking, it felt like this was the first time he had woken up in such a bad state. His conversation with Evan kept Kevin up all night. Kevin pondered until he forgot his dinner. “No wonder,” Kevin thought. He wakes up in an unpleasant state in the morning.When Kevin woke up, the sun seemed to have almost reached the top of the sky. The man walked out of the room with unsteady steps, then met Maya, who was squatting in the television room while watching a cooking show.Kevin was too used to seeing Maya's very strange habits. The girl stopped squatting when she felt his presence. Maya smiled a little, as she greeted Kevin before the man could greet her first.“Good afternoon, Kevin. Are you hungry? I've cooked lunch. Evan and the others have eaten. Only you, who haven't eaten yet,” sa
“First, I'm not speaking to judge you right now. You consider me as a friend, I also do the same. But Finola, you should be aware that your identity has been too suspicious all along. Evan probably didn't say anything. But I know, even he also doubts your background, which is too strange to be real. Creating magic food with unconventional methods is already strange. And yesterday, you displayed a fighting skill that can't be trained in a short times. We didn't only face one attacker that time. Even for myself, I had a hard time dealing with two to three assassins at once. Yet, you took care of the rest without harming anyone, Finola. The way you handled the assault… It didn't look like the girl who had been living in torment for a long time and was living at home in a state of disrepair.”As Kevin conveyed his suspicions, the relaxed atmosphere around them gradually began to dissipate. Both Kevin and Maya looked at each other's faces, as if trying to judge each other's thoughts, as the
Finished speaking, Kevin, who was just about to enter, stopped walking when the man saw his best friend already sitting in front of the door with his eyes focused on them. The man probably just stayed silent without saying anything. But with a deep frown on the man's forehead, Kevin already knew that his best friend wasn't happy about something right now.Evan's gaze continued to focus on his wife, who still hadn't noticed her presence from afar because Maya was busy lowering her head. Evan lightly tapped on the armrests of his wheelchair, making Kevin unconsciously depressed just by that simple movement.They just talked and exchanged smiles at the end of the conversation. Kevin thought, his friend couldn't have misunderstood them, right?They just talked alone in a quiet place and smiled at each other while looking at each other. All right, Kevin knew he must have misunderstood his best friend by now.“ … I can explain everything, Evan,” Kevin said hastily. The man shifted his body,
Maya's days passed peacefully from then on. Throughout her life, it seemed that her life in the village was the most peaceful life she could enjoy. On many occasions, Maya could only sit and occasionally walk with Evan to get rid of her boredom.As long as Evan kept an eye on her, Maya really wasn't allowed to exercise until her body was completely healed. Only if Evan and Kevin were busy working, Maya could finally practice quietly as usual. In those days, Maya could see that neither Evan nor Kevin could go anywhere apart from their study and bedroom. Maya could see the two discussing and working on a seemingly never-ending pile of documents. Every day was full of monotonous activities for Maya, and excruciating boredom for the girl.Everyone seemed very busy in the villa. While she, who can only cook and heal herself, can only wander in sheer boredom.“Why do I have to use an armrest like this? I want to take it off ….”Maya wailed in a weak voice, when her free hand was really itchi
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
