When Katleah opened her bedroom door, she found a pile of shopping bags on her bed. She read what he wrote on the card placed next to it.

"For you, my wife. Hope you like it." From Your Husband.

Upon reading it, a grin formed on her face. She admits that Marco's extreme sweetness draws her heart to him, but she knows it has a twin suffering. Unfortunately for her, she is only marrying Marco because of his father.

Seeing the contents of the shopping bags temporarily lifted her spirits. There are expensive sleeping sets, office attire, dresses, and lingeries, to name a few. Her face flushed instantly. She seemed reluctant to go out to dinner with Marco as if she was too timid to do so. She hadn't anticipated that man personally purchasing her lingeries.

THE NEXT DAY, She got up early to prepare for her first day as Marco's secretary. She quickly left her room after getting dressed and applying light makeup. Her gaze looked at Marco initially, but she didn't spot him. She exited the Mans

Katleah responded to the woman right away.They clenched their fists and turned their backs on each other.Katleah walked into Marco's office, leaving James outside with his lips still parted.

"Hmm, she thought I was afraid of her?" she asked, frowning.Marco couldn't take his eyes off the strange beauty in front of him. In her corporate attire, the former became even more attractive and professional. Her aura is brave now, but why does she appear angry?""Come here, baby.

    They were in the car together, but neither wanted to initiate a conversation. Katleah climbed into Marco's car because he had dispatched the driver who had taken her to work earlier. During the trip, Marco was the first to speak. "Baby, where do you want to eat?" When Tomas heard his boss's dulcet voice say, "Baby," he glanced back at the two ants behind him as if his hair were trying to protest the boss's actions. When he noticed his boss staring at him intently as if he wanted to throw him to the side, he immediately turned his gaze to the road. Though his boss was a demon to the rest of the staff, when it came to Katleah, he became a sinless angel. Katleah, on the other hand, was deep in thought. For a while, she didn't notice Marco talking to her. "Baby? What are you thinking? "He asked the girl. "Huh? Are you saying something?" Katleah responded, perplexed, "Yes, quite some time ago. I asked where you wanted to eat. Because I planned to eat outside, I didn't let Martha cook

As they enter the building, Katleah considers revealing her identity to Marco."Babe, do you think it's okay if I marry you and then I find out that my birth certificate might not be accurate?" Katleah inquired about Marco."Why, baby, does your birth certificate have a mistake?""I don't know my actual age, babe. Grandma told me they only saw me outside the burning orphanage before she died. The fact that I don't speak and instead cry has led them to assume that I'm much younger than I am. Therefore, I have no idea of my current age.""For now," Marco told her, "Don't worry, babe, no matter the truth, it still doesn't affect our marriage," meaning she should accept the information listed on her birth certificate. Katleah was about to respond once more when three men appeared in front of the two of them."What a bummer, man. Why did you suddenly g

    IT'S TEN O'CLOCK AT NIGHTShe'd been tossing and turning in bed for quite some time, but she hadn't fallen asleep.

I'd go insane if something terrible happened to you.""Hey, babe, what are you doing? I'm not sure why, but you've been talking like that since you arrived earlier. Nothing bad will happen to me, okay? Didn't I promise you that I'd be there for you no matter what? I'm always here for you, babe." She spoke in hushed tones to her husband. Katleah carefully watched her husband, and she could see tears welling up in his eyes. He felt that he was hiding a problem."Tell me what's on your mind, babe; I'm ready to listen.

I believe she is only interested in your son's money. Uncle Philip, why don't you try to bring that gold digger here so we can teach her a lesson? If she can stand our tortures, it means she loves Marco, but if she doesn't last long, it means she only wants Marco's wealth." Sandra stated. There is nothing she won't do to make her plans happen."But Sandra, I don't wish to interfere with Marco's life; after all, he does love his wife. Let him make his own choices," Philip argued, because he knew his son wouldn't marry someone he didn't like."Will you agree, Uncle, that she will leave your son once she has gotten what she wants? Remember that you went through the same thing. You are the only one who loves Marco's mom, so she left you. Same with Marco. He's the only one who loves that woman. If you don't try now, how c

Their lives are in danger, so they must be vigilant right now.Marco promptly carried her into their room upon their arrival at the Mansion.

    "Boss, here are your clothes, it's been five days since you didn't come home." James, who had been keeping an eye on Marco, said. He had recently arrived at the hospital and couldn't help but feel bad for his boss's current predicament. Marco looked at him, his eyes puffy from waiting for his wife to wake up. "Thank you, James. Just put it there, go back to the office, and bring all the papers I need to sign here to the hospital," Marco replied sluggishly. James stared at his boss in disbelief as he sat on the side of Katleah's bed, holding her hand. His clothes and hair are messy, and he often misses meals because he only pays attention to his wife.

    Katleah woke up in an unfamiliar room. "Where am I?" she asked herself. She had just started to get to her feet when she found herself back on the bed. Both her hands and feet were tied, and a thick cloth covered her mouth. Tears welled up in her eyes. Will she die without even getting justice for the death of her parents? Will the same thing happen to her? "Dad, mom, help me please..." She prayed when a masked man with a gun barged in."Put on your clothes and get out of here." the man said as he removed the rope and gag from her mouth."Put it on?" As she stared at her naked body, she felt a wave of horror wash over her."You shameless people, what did you do to me? You are an animal!" she shouted as soon as the man removed the gag from her mouth."Shut up!" Simultaneously, he aimed a gun at her head and said, "If you want to live, just shut up and follow my orders!"Even so, she remained immobile, stunned as she was. The masked man still had her transfixed. She froze in fear as he

    AFTER 3 YEARS,"Wait, Katleah.."She came to a halt when she heard someone calling her name. Looking back, she noticed Marie rushing as she approached her. "Could I speak with you for a moment? There's a coffee shop outside this university; let's talk properly.""Why? I don't have time; I have an exam tomorrow."Do you still need that? From the moment you stepped into this university, you've been at the top of the class. Your intellect has impressed all the professors, so why don't you take it easy for a while, Sister?When she called her sister, she was stunned for a moment. "Tell me what you need, Marie; I'm in a hurry.""Are you still waiting for my brother to pick you up? He's been seeing Sandra for a while now, if you haven't heard.""What do you mean?" she asked, frowning."Since you won't join me for coffee, here's a hint: If you want to know where you stand in my brother's life, you should head to Room No.403 at the SHANGRILA HOTEL at 9 o'clock tonight."She answered Marie wit

    "Doctor, how is her condition? Why did she faint after suffering from a headache? "Harry was keen to know."She is completely fine. She needs to get some sleep and try not to overthink things right now. She blacked out because her mind couldn't take the weight of her memories from the past.""Doctor, do you think there's any chance I'll be able to recall my past?" Katleah inquired as she awoke. Earlier, she realized she was lying in a private room and had overheard the doctor's entire conversation."Katleah, it is perfectly normal to lose track of your youth recollections as you grow older. However, there are some things that people simply can't forget from their childhood, and even decades later, they may remember vivid details. Don't strain your brain by trying to remember everything, because it will only make things worse. Allow it to appear on its own at the appropriate time when you require it."Her eyes blinked in response to what the doctor said. "Thank you, doc." She responded
