While the Eno and Lohr family were celebrating Rui's pregnancy, Lianna is once again in a fit of anger because of her former best friend. “Shane, my friend said she saw you with Rui at the after party last night. That bitch really never learns her lesson!” “Enough, Lianna! What did Rui ever do to you?!” Shane frustratedly yelled. He has no choice but to stay in one hotel with Lianna to keep up with appearances. Seeing Rui living a good life with her successful husband made him feel like shit. That dazzling woman was once his. If only she let him lead her on. If only she relied on him more. But now that she is happily married with a son she probably had after they broke up, made him unable to stomach all that happened. 'What could we have been if I didn't cheat?' a question that he keeps on asking after his encounter with the Eno couple. Lianna picked up a pillow and threw it on her husband. “You always side with Rui even after I married you! Your mistresses even look like her!”
“Achoo!” Chase rubbed his nose after he sneezed and mumbled, “Someone must be talking behind my back…”“What’s ‘talking behind my back’ daddy?” Eon who was silently eating food beside his father innocently asked. “Like someone is talking about me somewhere. It may be something good or bad about me,” Chase calmly explained. Eon nodded. “So when you sneeze, it’s an indication of someone talking behind your back?”“Hmm… Probably.”Rui listened to the two converse, not wanting to interrupt their discussion. However, she felt her phone inside her pocket vibrate. She quickly viewed the notification under the table and saw Zacharias’ text. “Ehem… Your uncle wants you to accompany him to the mansion tonight. Is that okay, Eon?”Hearing his uncle’s invitation, Eon was overjoyed. Though he’s not particularly fond of Zacharias, he still likes him because he teaches him all sorts of cool words and actions. “Nice! I’ll see my damned uncle again!” he exclaimed. “What damned?! Where did you lear
Warning: R18 content ahead! After Eon left the house, Rui immediately went to the kitchen to clean it up. Despite being a busy person, she found cleaning a very pleasant activity. One could say that it was her destresser. Chase, who was silently watching her work from the living room, was feeling impatient. Now that they were alone in the house, he wanted to do stuff with his wife. He was even on the verge of giving Zacharias a brand new car because of this opening. He was honestly overjoyed with this. His son was always in the house. That's why they can only fool around inside the bedroom. As much as he wanted to let his wife be, he couldn't. He couldn't control himself. He quietly approached his wife, who was arranging condiments inside the kitchen cabinet, before hugging her from behind. Rui ignored her husband and continued with what she was doing. Seeing that his wife was ignoring him, he playfully placed a peck on her nape. His stubbles tickled her as they brushed over
Chase found his son sitting alone in front of the kids who bullied him. He quickly sat down beside him and checked the wounds on his knees and hands. He did not even bother greeting the parents in front of him. His focus was only on his son who was hurt. He immediately inquired, “What happened to my son?” “You see, Eon was pushed by the kids right here. Eon just passed by the preschool department and got into an argument with them,” the counselor explained while pointing to the kids involved. Eon, who was silent the whole time, suddenly raised his hands. “Can I explain my side now that daddy's here?” “You may.” Upon getting the permission, he pointed at Luke, sitting beside Shane. “That boy pushed me because I was wearing an orange tie and he was wearing a yellow tie. He said he wanted one but he's only at preschool. The two boys just watched him and laughed at me,” he explained. This made Chase raise his brows and slowly scrutinize the boy that his son pointed to. He was a bo
A month has passed and the East City is shrouded in horror. Three more girls were found to be killed by the same killer. Rui has worked extra hard to help the police find the culprit to the best of her abilities. One day, when she was out with the police to retrieve a body floating on the river, she saw a truck delivering large batches of chemicals to a nearby warehouse. Out of her curiosity, she left the crime scene and approached the delivery man. “Hello! May I ask what kind of chemicals are you guys delivering?” she politely asked. The truck driver was stunned to be asked by a pretty young lady so he blushed as he awkwardly scratched his head. “We are delivering caustic soda to this client. This client has been ordering large batches of this chemical for a few months now. We just leave it in the warehouse and go.”Puzzled, Rui inquired, “So you haven't met your client?”“Nope. Every transaction was completed online.”“I see. Is this for a cleaning supply? This amount of sodium
After going back home, Rui couldn't stay still. She was advised to stay back and leave the investigations to the police and her friend Carter. However, seeing that this is a case that she could study, she couldn't help but feel down. She understood that she is now approaching the most crucial period of her pregnancy. So she listened to her husband's advice and stayed home. Despite her dejected mood, she dutifully took care of her son and husband like a normal day. She busied herself with chores to get her mind out of the case. Chase, who noticed her mood, worriedly asked, “Honey, what's wrong?” Not wanting to worry her husband, she shook her head and forced a smile. “It's nothing honey. I'm just worried about the case but I'm fine.” Chase just pursed his lips and nodded. He silently acknowledged his wife's response even though he knew she was feeling down. He knew she wanted to go and help Carter out in the investigations but his priority is her safety. So rather than spoiling h
Rui entered the cafe near the school to get her daily dose of caffeine. It has been her habit to visit this coffee shop ever since she entered the university as a student. And when she came back from abroad, she was surprised to see that the barista was still the same. “Dr. Rui, you're early again today!” the barista greeted. Rui smiled. “Good morning Ann, how's your day so far?” “Same old, same old~,” she said as she prepared Rui's usual order while Rui sat on a stool near the counter. A few minutes later, Ann called for Rui with her order at hand. “Caramel Macchiato for our Dr. Rui~” Rui then accepted the cup of iced caramel macchiato with a bright smile on her face. “Thanks, Ann, you're the best!” “I know,” she said. But just as Rui exited her cafe, she shouted, “Oh wait! Dr. Rui!” She waved her hand to gesture for her to come back to the counter as she can't leave it. She then gave an envelope with delicate laces and flowers as decoration. It was a pretty invitation w
As soon as Ann's fiancee was located, rescuers were immediately dispatched. Ann, who was anxiously trembling the whole time, recklessly followed the police. She wasn't in the right state of mind. Her thoughts were all over the place and her emotions were so tangled that it chokes up her chest. She was a mess. However, there was only one thing on her mind… And that is her fiance's safety. Rui worriedly followed Ann out to go to the villa. She was familiar with the area so she decided to drive for her. On their way there, only the sounds of the engine can be heard. No one dared to utter a word. Ann, just silently prayed for his safety the whole time. On the other hand, Rui just observed her friend worry for the man who betrayed her. At the back of her mind, she pitied the man for his impending fate. But she also wondered why such a man still receives love from the woman he toyed with. Ann and Dean were childhood sweethearts. They grew up together and started dating in high school
