Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Throughout the journey home, Darwin and Veronica both chose to remain silent. After what had happened earlier, neither of them was willing to give in and speak first.
Even when they arrived home and were cleaning Darwin's arm wound, Veronica didn't say a word to reprimand her husband. Even though Darwin had nearly lost his life trying to rescue her from Darrel's clutches.
"Ve..." Darwin finally called out.
They were currently in the living room. Unable to bear the silence any longer, Darwin decided to break it first. He realized he might have been too prideful and that Veronica hadn't forgiven him yet. "How long are you going to keep me in silence like this? How much longer are you not going to give me a chance to resolve the misunderstanding between us?"
Veronica glanced up briefly towards her husband, then continued wrapping the bandage around Darwin's injured arm.

After being engaged in a serious conversation with Veronica last night, Darwin has been preoccupied all day today. In fact, he's been so distracted that he hasn't been able to focus on completing any of the tasks at the office.Similarly, when he arrives home and finishes dinner, he finds himself lost in thought again. Choosing to sit in his workspace, Darwin recalls and carefully processes what he and Veronica discussed the previous night."You should know better. Since deciding to marry and become your wife, I have surrendered and accepted it wholeheartedly. I've even committed to making this marriage work as best as I can, even though we don't love each other. You need to remember too, Win. No matter what past you shared with Vivian, I genuinely don't care. I'm not God to judge your past. Moreover, I believe we live to see the future, not to dwell on the past. But unfortunately, even though I've tried to be understanding, you haven't made

Veronica has just finished applying various skincare products to her face. As she goes to get a drink, she forgets that the usual water-filled tumbler she keeps is not in her room.Glancing at the clock on the wall showing it's 11 PM, Veronica is pretty sure everyone in the house is asleep. That's why she casually walks out of her room wearing a thin nightgown.Going down the stairs and heading towards the dining area, just as she's about to turn, she suddenly hears a male voice calling out. When she looks, she sees the figures of Randy and Darwin sitting in the TV room, both looking in her direction."Veronica!" Darwin calls out. Simultaneously, Veronica notices the surprise on Randy's face. He probably didn't expect to see Veronica in such a revealing outfit."Don't look!" Darwin commands, covering Randy's eyes with his hands. Then he turns back to Veronica and orders her, "Quickly go back to your

Darwin blinked his eyes, and the room's ceiling looked a bit unfamiliar to him. He paused for a moment, recalling, until he finally realized that he was currently in Veronica's room. Unconsciously, Darwin smiled. Lowering his gaze, he found Veronica still sound asleep, holding onto his body tightly. Beyond that, the two of them were even under the same blanket. So close. Stuck together like their skin was glued by adhesive. And don't forget, neither of them were wearing any clothes after their passionate night. In the silence, Darwin reached out his hand. He gently stroked Veronica's smooth cheek, tucking away a strand of hair that seemed to cover her beautiful face. Again, while gazing at Veronica's face, Darwin smiled with joy. A feeling of happiness crept into the depths of his heart. He was proud too, actually, to be the first person to touch his wife's body. Darwin wasn't exaggerating. After having Veronica entirely last night, there was a distinctly different sensation brew

After finishing the meeting with the investor from Singapore, Darwin decided to quickly return to his office. Searching for his cellphone, he hurriedly called Veronica and asked her to come to his room right away. Somehow, Darwin suddenly felt longing for his wife. In retrospect, it seemed a bit excessive. But, what could he do, that's what he was feeling right now. Ever since last night's incident, there was a feeling that made Darwin want to be constantly with Veronica and spend a lot of time together. "Oh God, it seems like I'm cursed because I bragged before that I wouldn't fall in love with Veronica." Darwin recited that sentence in his heart. While lost in thought, Veronica, whom he had called earlier, seemed to enter the room. Walking closer, approaching the position where Darwin was sitting. "Why? Do you want to discuss the meeting?" Darwin looked up. He smiled at Veronica and reached for her wrist, then pulled her until she was seated right on his lap. "Win!" Veronica e

Veronica didn't refuse. Although still annoyed, she agreed when Darwin invited her. This afternoon, there were a few important things Darwin needed to discuss with her father.Entering the Vortex Group building, Darwin confidently held Veronica's hand. They walked along the corridor on the 15th floor and stopped in front of one of the rooms."Darling, do you want to stay here?" Darwin asked to make sure. Apparently, Veronica preferred to make a brief stop in Deasy's office first. For the past month, her friend had been stationed in the main building."Yes. I'll drop by for a moment. Is that okay?"Darwin nodded. Even though he was not fond of Deasy, he still felt uneasy about restricting or forbidding Veronica from socializing or staying in touch with her friend."Alright then. I'll head to dad's office first. If you're done, just catch up with me upstairs."Darwin continued on his way to Damian's office. Meanwhile, Veronica approached Deasy, who was currently busy working at her desk

"Are you ready?" Darwin asked, hugging Veronica from behind. Right now, his wife is busy applying makeup at the vanity. Darwin and Veronica are indeed getting ready. In a little while, they will be attending the wedding anniversary celebration hosted by Darwin's parents at their residence. "Just a moment, dear. Let me apply lipstick first," Veronica replied, glancing at Darwin through the mirror in front of her. Darwin smiled. Seeing Veronica applying lipstick to her lips, he playfully interrupted. He brought his hands to cup Veronica's cheeks and even pinched one of them affectionately. "Come on, hurry up. No need to take too long with the makeup. If you get too beautiful, I'll be the one in trouble." "Why trouble?" Veronica asked in confusion. "If you're too gorgeous, my cousins might start crushing on you." Veronica laughed and playfully tilted her head, intending to tease Darwin. But before she could carry out her plan, Darwin already reached her face, suddenly planting a k

As planned, today was the scheduled meeting for all division heads and some executives working under the Vortex Group. Veronica had already made sure to Darwin that Vivian would be present at her father's office today. They had discussed this earlier. Veronica even suggested that Darwin should meet Vivian later in the afternoon after work hours. That's why, during the lunch break, Darwin, who was attending the meeting, immediately approached Vivian. Without much preamble, he invited the woman he once loved so deeply to meet him after work hours at their usual place. "Did I hear this correctly? You want us to meet at the usual place?" From her expression, Vivian appeared quite puzzled. After nearly two months of being deliberately kept apart, Darwin suddenly had the opportunity to ask her to meet. Initially, Vivian was scared and wanted to refuse. Not without reason, she was worried that meeting Darwin might result in her job or her living situation, which she had recently obtaine

After attending a work meeting at the headquarters, Vivian intentionally applied for a five-day leave to vacation in Jakarta. Actually, the thought of meeting Darwin never crossed her mind. Vivian was well aware of the threats that had been directed at her before. Not through Darwin as an intermediary, but Veronica herself, who had met her a day before she left for Malaysia. "I'm sure you know why I asked you to meet me here," Veronica said when they both met at a cafe. Vivian lowered her head while squeezing her fingers. She tried to calm her nervousness and the fear that was engulfing her. She couldn't even look Veronica in the eye, let alone respond. Her courage seemed to vanish instantly. Ever since the incident of being expelled and fired by Veronica a few days ago, she had become extremely cautious about her actions. "Y-yes, Darwin informed me," Vivian answered he

Randy glanced at the circular watch on his left wrist, feeling uneasy. He was both hopeful and worried that he might be late to pick up Ghea and then take his wife to a dinner event with the extended Walters family. It required extra persuasion to make his wife agree to attend the dinner tonight. It wasn't because Randy had any issues or objections to what his wife wanted to do. Since Ghea entered the last month of her pregnancy, she became the type of woman who preferred to stay at home, lounging in her room while enjoying snacks and watching Korean dramas. Actually, Randy had no problem with whatever activities Ghea wanted to engage in. As long as Ghea was happy, he was fine with it. It's just that sometimes it became a bit troublesome for him. Due to her extreme laziness, Ghea often refused to go anywhere. "Darling... I'm sorry I'm a bit late. The traffic on the toll road was really bad." Upon arriving at the house to pick up Ghea, and now that his wife was already in the car,

"Ghea, Mom, I beg you, please drop the charges against Giselle's husband. Mom, I know he's wrong, but at least show your compassion." "After trying to live peacefully for days, Clara suddenly visited Ghea at her residence. Despite what her stepmother had been doing all this time, she approached and pleaded with Ghea, asking that her youngest daughter be released or at least given a lenient punishment." "Clara felt Giselle didn't deserve a harsh punishment. Especially after all the things she and Giselle had done, Maxwell also took a firm stand. The man she had been with for thirty years was now filing for divorce. He didn't even want to accept an apology for what he had done to Ghea." "Enough, Mom, suffering from being kicked out and divorced by Dad. Now, Giselle is Mom's only hope because Mario is not willing to help at all. That's why, Mom, I'm asking you, please free Giselle in any way you can." Ghea sat silently in her seat, listening. For a moment, she didn't comment on the r

Ghea has sighed deeply countless times. She feels extremely nervous thinking about Randy's reaction when he meets Giselle in a short while. Ghea is actually angry about what Giselle did. However, her heart still feels afraid and worried that her husband might lose control and be provoked emotionally. Ghea only just found out that Randy can look so terrifying when angry. This is something she really wants to avoid. Then, when the person they've been waiting for finally arrives in the investigation room, Ghea observes and can clearly see that the first thing Randy does is smirk. He tries to control his emotions by remaining calm, but he always appears alert. Randy continues to watch from a distance until the woman they've been waiting for finally speaks up and starts talking. "What's really going on here? Why did the police officer call me all sorts of things to come here?" Giselle asks casually when the woman is seated in front of her. "We deliberately called and asked Miss to come

After receiving the news from Alvin the night before that the suspected person who hit Ghea had been apprehended, Randy decided to go to the police station early in the morning. He intentionally brought Ghea along because the police needed her statement to further investigate the accident that had befallen her some time ago. Exiting the black Range Rover he was driving, Randy tightly held Ghea's hand as they walked together towards the interrogation room. Once inside, they were directed by the officers to check the man who had been successfully detained. There, a man around 35 years old sat on the defendant's chair with his head bowed. Randy then cast a penetrating gaze, assessing the appearance of the man who had caused his wife's accident and might have led to a miscarriage. Randy's jaw seemed to tighten. His calm face slowly turned red. Emotions were clearly evident on the man's face. If there were no police officers present, the narrow-eyed man might have attacked or sought rev

"Ghea, forgive me, Papa couldn't be there to protect you." Maxwell hugged his daughter, who was now sitting on the bed in her room. He was extremely saddened by the recent tragedy that had befallen his daughter. "Why apologize? It's not Papa's fault. It's just a stroke of bad luck. The most important thing is that Ghea is okay." "But, Papa is really sad to hear about your accident. Papa is worried that something bad might happen to you." Ghea smiled, gently stroking her father's hand, trying to reassure and calm him. "Ghea is fine, Papa. No need to worry, let alone think about anything bad happening. I promise not to make Papa sad like this again." After ensuring that his daughter was fine, Maxwell and Mario decided to go down to the first floor while chatting with their son-in-law. "Randy, thank you for keeping Papa and Mario informed about Ghea's condition." Since he arrived, Maxwell appeared anxious and worried. He was undoubtedly shocked by the recent unfortunate events. M

Upon hearing the news that Ghea had been in an accident, Randy felt his heart almost stop beating. Confronted with the reality that his wife's life might be in danger, he suddenly found himself short of breath. He couldn't speak now. Just silent for a moment, until the police finished delivering the news through the phone call he received. "Ran, what's wrong with you?" Darwin wondered when he saw Randy's face, which was once relaxed and playful, now turning pale. His cousin seemed to stand up quickly, getting ready to leave. "Ghea had an accident, Win. She's in the hospital now." Darwin was startled at that moment too. Both equally shocked to hear the news Randy had just conveyed. Without much thought, he offered to accompany Randy, who might be in distress or unable to think clearly. Driving his vehicle at an above-average speed, Darwin and Randy arrived at the hospital in just 10 minutes. Walking briskly, they went straight to the emergency unit. There, several police officers w

Meanwhile, Randy, bombarded with so many questions from Darwin, didn't answer immediately. Adjusting his sitting position, he then slowly began to explain. "The story is quite long, Win." "As long as it takes, I'll listen," Darwin quickly responded. "Don't worry; my schedule is clear today." "Do you remember Agista, right?" "Yeah, your ex who left to marry that sugar daddy?" "Hmm..." Randy sighed lazily. "Yeah, she became the representative for Velfire. Velfire appointed her to oversee the progress of the project in Indonesia. She was placed in Akasia's head office for two months." "And then?" "So, a while ago, I had a business trip to Singapore. It was also for a meeting with Velfire to discuss the collaboration's progress. Initially, everything went smoothly. No problems at all." "Well then, why did you unilaterally cancel the partnership, Ran," Darwin interrupted. Randy hadn't finished telling the story yet. "Listen first," Randy growled. He explained the matter to his cou

"I'm heading to work now. You can relax at home." Randy had just finished his breakfast. Accompanied by Ghea to the door, he prepared to leave for the office. "I'm sure you'll miss being able to peek into Uncle's office or hang out there as usual," Ghea complained with a gloomy face. For almost two months of interning at Randy's office, she had gotten used to spending the whole day meeting and interacting with her husband. "Don't be sad like that. I'll be thinking about you at the office. Or, how about this. What if we have lunch together later?" "Yes!" Ghea replied immediately, nodding her head. The girl responded enthusiastically to her husband's invitation. "Should I pick up Uncle from the office or what? Anyway, I really want to meet Uncle for lunch later." Randy laughed. Fondly, he cupped Ghea's reddened cheeks. He was somewhat surprised to see Ghea acting so spoiled. Her behavior was indeed very different from before. Usually, Ghea often hesitated to express her feelings o

Upon careful consideration, there are many reasons why being with her husband, Randy Walters, is highly enjoyable for Ghea. Aside from her husband's handsome appearance and athletic physique desired by many women, Ghea acknowledges that the youngest of the Walters family is skillful in the bedroom. Every time they are together, Ghea has been charmed and satisfied numerous times. For example, on a night like this, reflecting the intense longing after being apart for two days, Randy clearly doesn't allow Ghea to move an inch from the bed. He continues to caress her, worshiping every inch of Ghea's body with great intensity. Ghea's eyes then close. Sensing vividly how Randy's lips kiss her wet shoulders and the exposed neck, causing her hair to stand on end. Right when he lifts his face, intentionally approaching and parting his lips, Randy then slips his tongue into Ghea's mouth. Playing around there. Deliberately teasing, until eventually, Ghea responds in kind. Meanwhile, Randy's h
