The man kept twisting his hands nervously over his thighs while waiting for someone he would meet this afternoon. Waiting is not his hobby. He always hated waiting. But waiting for someone who had given him wealth, wasn't something he could argue about. He was willing to wait for hours if it had to be someone who had given him wealth through the books he published.

that man is truly noble. Axe never stops praising his savior who has given him millions of dollars in the past three years through the books he published. Read My Mind can be said to be a very strange work. A story that tells of a murder without a motive that is confusing but instead manages to attract the attention of so many people that the book continues to be published every year. At that time, he never thought about the success of Read My Mind, felt pessimistic, and did not want to work on it further. But then the man continued to force him and convince him that the book will become a book that brings a lot of dollars

    This is crazy! This is crazy! So crazy! Harper had been cursing her decisions an hour ago. As she paced back and forth, she continued to nibble on her nails nervously and glanced anxiously at the clock stuck on the wall. She must have lost her mind when she asked Alex to be her partner at Amber and Tyler's engagement party. It was all because Amber kept terrorizing her and sending threatening messages. She would not be allowed into the ballroom without a partner beside her. And because of the stupid threat, she became impulsive by asking Alex to go to Amber's engagement party without thinking about the consequences first. "You're stupid, Harp. You really— idiot." The sound of the bell being pressed three times became a signal for Harper to stop her grumbling and immediately ran frantically to her room to get her heels and handbag. To be honest, fifteen minutes ago she had intended to text Alex if she suddenly felt unwell and wanted to cancel her plans to attend Amber and Tyler's e

    At eleven o'clock Amber and Tyler's engagement party ended. But since ten o'clock Alex and Harper chose to say goodbye to the happy couple and go home first because Alex had to be home immediately to kiss Heidi goodnight. And just as that man planned, Harper would never have refused if he didn't forget to use his magic word. “We will stop for a while at the mansion. I need to check on Heidi. She's usually waiting for me to kiss her goodnight." "Isn't it too late for that?" Harper asked, glancing at her watch. She preferred if Alex drove her directly to the apartment. “My mansion is closer to this road, Harp. And indeed it is too late. That's why I don't want to make Heidi wait any longer." Harper knew that was a sign that Alex didn't want to be denied. But never mind, she could wait a few minutes to let Alex kiss Heidi goodnight. He was her father, and just like any other girl, Heidi would also have expected her father to kiss her goodnight. "

    "Aren't we going too far?" Wingert's voice was barely audible to Bratt, who was busy munching a sandwich with top-quality ham and cheese at a five-star hotel provided by the Toronto police. The voices of the other visitors galloping because they couldn't wait to eat their breakfast obscured Wingert's voice, only to be heard a little by Bratt in front of him. "What did you say?" "Our action. Isn't that too much? We left Jim in that dirty-smelly prison." "It's not our fault," said Bratt casually. He continued to chew on his sandwiched bread while occasionally glancing at the sexy women walking around his table and Wingert. Bratt felt no guilt for the freedom and comfort he had managed to exchange with Jim. Let the proud man languish in prison to make up for all the wrongs he has done. Their petty rebellion in LA has tarnished their reputation. He even lost his job and was threatened that he could not find another job there until his reputation w

    "I was told by your secretary that today you went to the police station?" He looked up briefly, but he returned as quickly as possible to his pasta plate. "I met that person. Alma's murderer," said Alex quickly. Alex looks different today. That was the first thing Harper could conclude when they met thirty minutes ago. This evening they ate together at a pasta restaurant to discuss Heidi's development. But instead of talking about Heidi, who is increasingly showing positive progress, Harper is more interested in talking about Alma's problem and the process of investigation. "You went to my office?" "I wanted to tell you about Heidi's progress. She did not overreact when Doctor George came. Likewise when meeting with the physiotherapist, Lily Lambert." "Very nice. Is Heidi already about to speak?" “Not yet, but soon she will speak again. I think she has put her trust in me." "That is my goal, to make Heidi trust you so I can bring you into our lives." Again. Harper felt heartbu

    "Good taste. When did you go to Starbucks?"Harper greeted Anette who was tussling with her computer. Her assistant then looked up at Harper, smiled sweetly, and followed Harper's gaze on the tumblr.“Hi Harper, are you done with your therapy today? I didn't go to Starbucks," answered Anette as effectively as possible. And as expected, Harper furrowed her brows.“Mr. Enzo is inside. Waiting for you," said Anette quickly before Harper managed to voice her protest because she had allowed Alex to enter her room while she was not there."He gave me coffee too," said Anette a little nervously.Finally, Harper was only able to exhale and walked unsteadily into her room. But before she could walk away, Anette suddenly called out to her."You're not mad at me, Harp?""What? No. Of course not," replied Harper with a forced smile.How could she be mad at Anette?

    An hour of walking around the ward to visit her patients provided a little consolation for Harper, who had been so frustrated that she had previously been hit by Alex’s madness. She was very grateful because this activity could make her forget all her steamy activities with Alex in her office a little.When she left her office earlier for a visit, Anette had a strange look at her. But then she said nothing to her and only handed over a folder containing a list of patients she had to visit this afternoon. Harper is really grateful because Anette is not the type of woman who wants to know about other people's lives. Maybe Anette was a little suspicious of her relationship with Alex and the length of time they had been in her room, but Anette chose to hold back and didn't question herself about Alex's visit this afternoon."Everything is in stable condition.

    Alex walked out of his ten-story office carrying an expensive leather bag made by a famous designer in jet black. His favorite color. As he exited his comfortable room on the tenth floor, he had asked his secretary to divert whatever calls were directed to him today. For Harper, he wanted to make it more perfect. He wanted to celebrate today as their anniversary. Although in fact, it was just a one-sided decision. He didn't know whether Harper accepted it or was just having fun with him earlier. But he doesn't care. He thought things were going pretty well. He just needed a little patience to get Harper's heart like she used to. No matter how much Harper hated him, it couldn't possibly beat Harper's love for him. To hell with the too much self-confidence he has. Indeed that is the fact. Their love war in Harper's room has answered everything. She had voluntarily surrendered herself to him. Give up on whatever he will do. And vice versa, he welcomed the idea equally well.

    Tonight is fun. Harper forgot Alex's reckless remarks on the dining table as soon as they started eating Brielle's turkey and talked about a lot of things. Brielle dominated more light things and livened up the tense atmosphere that had previously enveloped the dining table. She is very grateful that this house has a cheerful Brielle and always provides a red color-like blush that sweetens the appearance of every woman. Alex must also agree with her thoughts. Brielle is a treasure, a family member that has managed to make Alex's gloomy life a little different. Harper was now escorting Heidi to her bedroom. Using the lift that Alex had built for Heidi's accommodation, Harper casually pushed the girl's wheelchair toward her room on the second floor. But this time something was different than usual. This time she wouldn't have missed this situation in silence, because she knew Heidi wasn't that quiet. “How do you feel Heidi? Everyone loves the surprise you give."

    The event was very lively. Decorated with beautiful flowers that were handpicked by the bride, the party was truly a dream party for the bride who had long dreamed of a fairy tale wedding party filled with beautiful flowers. At the altar, a man wore a black tuxedo, a snug bow tie around his neck, and shiny new shoes on his feet, the man waits for the bride with a feeling of extreme nervousness that is so annoying. His heart hadn't stopped rumbling for hours and hours, and his face was so stiff. It actually made the guests giggling and amused at him. Today everyone's gaze implies happiness for the most phenomenal couple of this century. A couple who have gone through many hardships together and have gone through many joys filled with laughter. Tyler waited nervously for his bride at the altar, wringing his cold hands over and over again.

    He glanced at his phone screen and then looked at the snow in his small yard in the remote village of Newbury. Since yesterday he had known that his leisure time was over. Today he will soon end all this ridiculous charade to face a world that has never been on his side. "I've been waiting for your coming." Tom didn't turn around at all. His eyes were still glued to the white snow that was slowly starting to be illuminated by the sunlight. He wasn't in Hawaii at all. He's still in Canada. In a very remote village in Newbury. "The police will be here soon.” "Yes I know. Congratulations on tracking me down, Mr. Alexander Enzo. I don't think what people say about your prowess is anything but nonsense. Sorry for involving you in my game.” "Damn it! You almost killed a poor old man and you tricked a greedy man."

    The clock still showed three in the morning, but the atmosphere at the police station was as busy as the activities carried out at nine in the morning. The officers who had just arrived from the field brought various kinds of evidence that could be used to build the case. They took several bags containing evidence from Chase's house. The items were arranged on a special table in the interrogation room. The 9mm caliber pistol that Harper once held was also among the items confiscated by police to investigate the case involving Alex and Chase.A police officer with sleepy eyes kept yawning repeatedly as he placed the evidence on the table. A USB and a small pen that looked unremarkable were placed there carefully after Zack came to hand it all over to them."Don't let anything be missed."Tyler patted the sleepy cop on the shoulder. He grumbled near Tyler because he had just been woken up when he was sound asleep in his house.“I even just slept two hours ago.”"Don't complain too much,

    He had just turned off his bedroom light and was about to walk towards his bed when a strange sound crackled near his ear followed by the cold sensation he got on his temples from an object he knew very well what it was. He frantically tried to run to the light switch to illuminate his dark room so he could at least see the face of the intruder who had presumptuously disturbed his composure. But his footsteps had been blocked by that person so he immediately fell on the cold floor while enduring pain in the knee that landed first on the floor. "Who are you? What were you doing sneaking into my house?” "What do you think I'll do, Chase?" "Alex?" Chase winced in the darkness as he rubbed his bruised knee repeatedly. Knowing that Alex had come to his house, the feeling of anxiety gradually lessened a bit. But he simply couldn't ignore the fact that a few seconds ago Alex had been pointing him with a gun. “What are you doing in my house? The police are looking for you out there." “F

    Across the dark hospital garden, they continued to run without stopping and trying to keep their balance in the snow which now seemed to be difficult for them. Several times Harper nearly tripped if Alex didn't hold her hand tightly, then they both jumped over the half-foot-tall bushes in the garden behind the hospital that separated it from the sidewalk that connected the street to another block."Are they still after us?"Harper panted repeatedly. Her lungs felt like they were going to explode, her legs would probably protest if they had a mouth to speak because her legs were sore right now after being used to running from the fifth floor of the hospital building."I don’t think so. Come on. Can you still walk?”Harper nodded weakly and started limping next to Alex. They had to pick up their car which was parked in a bar three blocks from where they were currently walking.When Alex stopped the car there, she was surprised at him because they left the car in a place that was quite o

    For a long time, he stood there doing nothing. Maybe five minutes. Or more. He didn't know exactly when he had left the deserted hospital hallway to enter Brielle's noisy treatment room. The sound of the cardiograph showing the steady rhythm of Brielle's heartbeat relieved him a bit. Only a bit. The rest he was more worried when he saw Brielle's plump body which usually always radiated a healthy brown hue, now turned pale and wrinkled. Brielle's skin looked unwell under the needles that poked her here and there. “Brielle...” Alex muttered under his breath with broken feelings. He had never seen Brielle this frail. His Brielle who always laughs loudly, his Brielle who loves to cook delicious food for him, his Brielle who is always there for him. As he touched Brielle's hand which was drooping weakly at her side, it felt cold. Alex gripped her hand tightly, feeling the roughness of it because it was always used to work in the kitchen. He wanted to see Brielle in his kitchen again, no

    He was enjoying classical music and a cup of fragrant hot coffee when his doorbell was rung roughly several times. Frowning his brows in annoyance, the man quickly tightened his sleeping robes and walked a little hastily to the front door to yell at anyone who had disturbed his quiet time. He thought the person who rang the bell at his house had gone completely insane. It's even a few minutes past ten. It's time for everyone to rest well. But the people out there seem to be crazies who don't know the code of ethics. "What the—" His words stopped in midair when he saw who the intruder had been playing with his doorbell. "Looks like I'm interrupting your bed time." "Very. You're not the person I expected to come tonight." “What kind of lawyer can stay relaxed when his client is being wanted by the police for running away.” Tyler said skeptically. He looked at Zack's body from head to toe which clearly showed that the man was ready to sleep. "It's a tough day. I didn't want to burde

    Coming out of Harper's quiet residence, Chase didn't drive home right away. Instead of taking the route to his house, Chase turned the wheel toward Alex's office. There was something he had to do tonight to make his life calm again. Today he failed to pick up what he should have taken from Alex's office. For three hours he was stuck with people with thick glasses in the audit room on the fifth floor. Many times he made excuses to get up to Alex's room on the tenth floor, but time and time again he failed. Jordan Brasco, the smart-ass attorney keeps blocking him from going up to Alex's room by giving him a series of tasks that he shouldn't have to do. “Oh come on, why do they keep tinkering with Alex's wealth if the ten million dollars that Winksie sent to Alex's account have been withdrawn? They won't find anything at all until they ask Alex about it,” Chase monologued with himself. He was very upset about everything that happened to him today. But the problem is, Alex has disappear
