“Sir, we have confirm no any relation between Anna Mason, and a few men who had been on our list. She works alone that night, when she drugs you.” One of his men reported back to him. “Is that how desperate she really is?” Romanov clicked his tongue. He have an irritated look on his face, but he is not only annoyed to Anna, but as well as to Moira, who was being held captive inside his mansion.Moira Roxas. She was supposed to be his wife, but blinded by his fury and reckless decision, he had been married before she had the chance to carry his surname. One of the reason why he couldn’t just let her slipped away, when she found out the truth. What’s keeping her sane was the fact that she have no idea who it is at the moment. However, her cluelessness won’t save her to get spared.Moira is Romanov’s key to inherit her father’s company. It is a marriage for convenience. His power and their future. The Roxas would gain from him and so he would be, but Anna Mason ruined it.The reminder o
“Sir?” A knock coming from his office door made Gustav to lifted his head from his papers.“Yes?”“You have a visitor.” Amber peered down, and have him an anxious smile. “And I believe it doesn’t matter whether you are expecting her or not, that’s what she said—”“Of course, my son knows that I don’t need any appointment, Miss.” Behind Amber, a woman pushed open the door.It shows a middle age aristocrat clad in a fancy dress.

To add up, Nancy’s taunts whenever she walked past by at her. “And speaking of the wife.” She would chuckled behind Anna. She would ignored it, but Nancy really knows how to get on her. Anna would walk away, but the encounter won’t even end there. This literally drives Anna crazy. Can’t she see that she have already enough? “Tch.” Anna clicked her tongue, sipping from her freshly made juice as she watched Janine and Romanov being all lovey dovey together.
