“I thought when you got home… he would hit you.”

“Huh?” Stella looked at Damian with a confused expression, then remembered the incident in front of the restaurant that morning.

Stella looked away and thought, "So he saw the argument between me and Mr. Marvin in the parking lot this morning? He was paying attention to me?" she smiled with satisfaction. "Thank you, Sir. You actually made it."

Stella looked back at Damian with a blank face. "He... didn't do anything to me when we got home. As soon as he dropped me off, he left because he got a call from the company."

"Thank God! I thought he would do something bad to you," Damian replied.

"If he did something bad to me, so what? You would be very happy, wouldn't you? My life would be even more miserable and that's what you want" Stella turned her gaze away from Damian's eyes and rolled her eyes. "You're really cruel!"

"It's not like that… please don't think like that," Damian said, "I was actually worried about you."

    Stella heard footsteps outside and immediately go straight out of the room. She saw Marvin walking up the stairs."You're home already, Sir?" Stella asked Marvin when she was standing in front of him.Marvin, who had just set foot on the second floor, frowned. "If I weren't home, I wouldn't be in this house. I'd still be outside. Your small talk is pointless. Such a strange question."Stella squinted her eyes, "Making small talk with you is clearly not necessary," she snapped irritably. "You've ruined my mood. I was so happy today.""Why? Did you get an unexpected windfall?" Marvin asked, walking past Stella."I don't like durian," Stella replied, following Marvin's footsteps from behind.Marvin, upon hearing Stella's answer, immediately stopped, causing Stella's forehead to accidentally bump into his back."Ouch…!" Stella held her forehead."The windfall I meant was getting good news or an unexpected blessing or something? Not the actual durian."Stella grinned. "Joking, Sir. I under

    Marvin held the cheek Stella kissed, looking at Stella who was smiling sweetly at him. "You!" "Why?" Marvin didn't answer Stella's question because he was confused about what to say. "You were going to take a shower, weren't you? Go ahead now, Sir," Stella said. "And you? What about you?" "I'll sit here for a while. Once my ankle doesn't hurt anymore, I'll go back to my room." "No need to force yourself to go to your room, just stay here until the doctor arrives. While waiting for the doctor, I'll take a quick shower." "Okay," Stella replied with a smile. "Or should I just carry you to your room?" "No, no… there's no need, I'll just sit here." "Alright then, stay here and don't force yourself to go to your room. I'll be quick." Stella nodded. Marvin got up and walked to the bathroom to clean up. 10 minutes later. Stella, who was sitting on Marvin's bed, looked towards the door when she heard it open. She saw Miss Bertha and an elderly man who looked to be over

    "Put on your clothes or you’ll catch a cold, sir," Stella said with a smile after exchanging kisses with her husband."Are you sure you want me to put on clothes? Won’t they just come off again soon?" Marvin responded.Stella furrowed her brow, trying to understand Marvin’s words, and after a few seconds, she caught on to what he meant.She narrowed her eyes and looked at Marvin with a scornful glare. "You're such a pervert! I would never go that far with a man who doesn’t love me. It’s too precious.""Then what about what we just did? You gave me your lips. Isn’t that precious to you?""Huh? Hmmm…" Stella thought for a moment to find an excuse.She had allowed it because she had started to have some feelings for Marvin, so she was willing to kiss him. But going further than that, she wasn't ready. She wanted to do it with Marvin, but only when he confessed his love for her."That is also precious, but you already took it before. So, since it’s already done and it felt pretty good, I’

    "Just leave him, Stella. Stay with me and Mia. Why stay with someone as temperamental as him? You'll only suffer emotionally if you stay with him."Stella quickly shook her head. "No, I'll never leave my husband. I love him, and I believe that someday he will change."Damian paused for a moment upon hearing Stella's words. After a while, he finally spoke, "In the past... you loved me very much, didn't you?""Tch!" Stella scoffed, "Haven't my sincere words been enough to convince you that I loved you deeply back then? I even trusted you to the point where my father's wealth became yours. And now you're still asking? Your question is ridiculous.""What if you tried to fall in love with me again," Damian said, ignoring Stella's words.Stella immediately looked at Damian with a shocked expression. "What did you say? Fall in love with you again?"Damian nodded immediately. "Come back to me, Stella.""Are you out of your mind? You should already know what my answer is. You shattered my hear

    "Oh my goodness, Madam, where have you been? Why are you only just now coming back?"Stella furrowed her brow seeing Miss Bertha looking worried and slightly scared. "Why?" she asked. "Is there a problem?""Of course there is, Madam. If there weren't, I wouldn't be this frightened."Stella's brow furrowed further. "Why?""Mr. Marvin, Madam. He's been furious, he even fired Mr. Halbert.""What?" Stella looked at Miss Bertha in shock. "Mr. Halbert was fired?"Miss Bertha nodded. "I've never seen Mr. Marvin this angry before. It's the first time he's been this furious.""But why was he so angry? There must be a reason, right? He wouldn't get angry for no reason.""Mr. Halbert was fired because he was deemed unable to look after you, Madam.""Huh? Because of me?" Stella asked, pointing to herself."Yes, Madam. Mr. Halbert was fired because he couldn't prevent you from leaving the house. It seems Mr. Marvin was afraid something bad might happen to you because your leg is still hurt.""Oh m

    "Next time, I won't be careless about charging my phone. I'm sorry for making you worry," Stella said.Marvin nodded. He kissed Stella's forehead and hugged her again. A smile appeared on Stella's lips as he kissed her forehead. She pulled away from the hug and looked back at Marvin.As they stared into each other’s eyes for a while, Marvin bravely kissed Stella's lips. Stella wrapped her arms around Marvin's neck.Marvin, growing bolder, began to unzip Stella's dress from the back. He continued lowering it without any resistance from his wife. He laid Stella down on the bed, positioning himself above her, and they looked into each other’s eyes again.“Is it… okay if I…?”“Yes,” Stella answered quickly.Marvin smiled back, kissing Stella's forehead, then her cheeks, showering her face with kisses.“This is your first time, right? I'll be gentle. Let me know if I'm too rough or if it hurts. This might hurt a little.”Stella swallowed and nodded. Her heart pounded as Marvin spoke. Howev

    "Say it clearly, what are you?" Stella asked, tapping Marvin's shoulder as he had been speaking nervously since earlier."I love you!" Marvin quickly confessed.Stella, upon hearing Marvin say that, immediately smiled. Meanwhile, Marvin covered his mouth with his hand and his eyes widened."What did you say, Sir?""N-No! I didn't say anything," Marvin replied, getting up from his seat."But I heard you clearly. Earlier, you said you love me," Stella raising her head to look at Marvin standing beside her."You misheard!" Marvin replied, his heart pounding fast after confessing his love for Stella. Marvin also looked embarrassed and unsure of what else to say."I couldn't have misheard, you clearly said that you—""I'm going down to eat, I haven't eaten since noon," Marvin interrupted, then walked out of the room."Well, then I'll eat too," Stella replied, unaware that her leg still hurt as she got up from the bed.Stella was too happy hearing Marvin say he loved her to notice that she

    A few days later. “Why do you keep staring at me?” Marvin asked Stella, who had been watching him with a smile. “Your food is on the table, look at your plate. Stop staring at me.” “I want to look at my husband’s face, why? Is that not allowed?” “Husband… I’m just a husband on paper." Stella squinted her eyes. “Then stop taking advantage by kissing me!” Marvin swallowed hard. “You didn’t refuse either.” he retorted. “Yeah, because I have feelings for you." Marvin fell silent, looking awkward. “But it turns out you just wanted to satisfy your desires with me, right? Yesterday, I almost became entirely yours. Luckily, my brain is smart. I managed to stop you by pretending to be in pain.” “What did you say?” Marvin staring at Stella in shock. “So you weren’t really in pain and just pretending?” “Huh? No—no,” Stella immediately covered her mouth, realizing she had slipped. “Tch! All you do is deny!” Marvin glaring. “I even asked if you were sure, and you nodded like y

Her heart felt heavy, as if each step carried a greater burden.Emily watched Delvin’s back, busy and completely ignoring her. “He says he loves her?” she murmured with pain. “But what’s happening now? He doesn’t care about me.”Tears began to flow down her cheeks. She felt isolated in a situation that should have been full of care.

    Marvin, Stella, Dariel, and Delvin stood at the edge of the cliff, their eyes fixed on Emily, who was dangling there, gripping tightly to a tree root that pierced through the ground. Her face was pale, tears streamed down her cheeks, and her body trembled with overwhelming fear. Below her, the abyss gaped like a black maw, ready to swallow her at any moment."Darling?" Delvin shouted from above, his voice hoarse with barely concealed anxiety. "Grab my hand, I'll pull you up!" His hand stretched out toward Emily, trying to reach her trembling fingers.Emily looked down at the depth awaiting her below. Fear enveloped her, making her sobs even more uncontrollable. "I'm scared," her voice barely audible, drowned in heart-wrenching sobs."You'll be okay!" Marvin's voice followed, filled with confidence and hope. He lowered his body closer to the edge of the cliff, extending his hand alongside Delvin's. "Now grab our hands, mine and Delvin's. We'll help you up."Stella stood not far from th

    Fanny stared out the villa window. "Has he left yet?" she asked without turning, her voice firm with a hint of impatience.Willy, the brother of the deceased man she once loved, kept talking after bringing Emily here, which only irritated her further. So, with cunning, Fanny sent him away to buy food for the evening, using it as an excuse to keep him away while she executed her plan.One of her henchmen nodded, his face expressionless. "Yes, Miss. He's gone far," he replied curtly.Fanny sighed in relief, a thin, meaningful smile curling on her lips. "Okay, bring the girl!" she ordered coldly, her gaze shifting to Emily, who lay helpless in the corner of the room.Emily tried to struggle, her body writhing in vain on the cold floor. "Mmmhhh..." Her screams were muffled by the cloth stuffed in her mouth, only the rustle of fear could be heard. Her wide eyes, filled with panic, welled up with tears as she watched Fanny approach with a terrifying gaze.Fanny’s men moved quickly, lifting

    Marvin stepped into the company cafeteria, his forehead furrowed when he saw only Zaline and Daniel sitting together at one of the tables.“Just the two of you? Where’s Emily? Where did she go?” Marvin asked, his voice filled with confusion.Zaline and Daniel exchanged glances before Daniel responded, “She didn’t show up, and we haven’t heard anything from her.” He sighed, showing his phone to Marvin. “I’ve tried calling her several times, but her number’s not active.”Marvin frowned, a mix of confusion and concern crossing his face. “Did she request leave from the division head?” he asked, trying to find an explanation.Daniel shook his head, his expression mirroring the same confusion. “No, I even checked with the division head, and there’s no word from her today. It’s strange; she usually informs the division head if she’s not coming in.”Marvin remained silent for a moment, his mind racing through unpleasant possibilities. Without saying another word, he reached into his pocket an

    Delvin gripped the steering wheel with one hand while the other slapped his forehead in frustration. "Damn it, my phone! I left my phone in the room," he muttered, exasperated. He had just realized that his phone was still at Emily's apartment.Earlier, before heading out to pick Emily up from work, he had decided not to bring his phone because its battery was dead. So, he had plugged it in to charge. "How am I supposed to contact Emily without my phone?" Delvin grumbled, annoyed with himself.Quickly, he turned the steering wheel and headed back toward Emily's apartment.Delvin drove fast but cautiously.Delvin's car finally stopped in front of Emily's apartment building. He immediately got out of the car and looked around. His eyes fell on Emily, who was following someone wearing a black hoodie. Delvin's heart pounded with worry."Who is she with?" Delvin murmured, his lips pressing into a tight line. "She’s not sneaking around behind my back, is she?" Confused, Delvin decided to fo

    Delvin gently squeezed Emily's hand as they stood in front of the apartment building. The night was beginning to fall, wrapping the city in a blanket of twinkling lights in the distance.He gazed into his lover’s eyes, trying to ensure that Emily really didn’t mind his job that took up so much of his time. “Darling, I might be back a little late tonight,” he said softly, with a hint of worry in his tone. “Weekends are usually very busy at the restaurant. Are you okay with me leaving you alone for so long?”Emily, who had been attentively gazing at Delvin’s face, smiled faintly. The warmth in her eyes made Delvin feel slightly more at ease. "It’s fine," she replied in a soothing voice. “You always come home very late on weekends. I’m getting used to it.” Her sweet smile widened as she added, "Besides, before you, I was always alone. So, it’s okay, darling."Delvin sighed in relief, but there was still an uneasy feeling gnawing at his heart. He knew how hectic work was on weekends, but

    "Do you want to know something about Mrs. Daisy?" Marvin asked his father.Mr. Myron immediately set aside the cake he was holding. "Why?" he asked, his tone reflecting deep curiosity."A month ago, I happened to meet Mr. Emrick in detention. He was furious when he saw me and cursed at me—he cursed at me harshly and continuously, Dad."Mr. Myron's brow furrowed, his expression turning to confusion and concern. "Cursed at me too? Why?" he asked, clearly puzzled and not fully understanding the situation. "I don't feel like I ever caused him any trouble. I never communicated with him, so why would he curse at me? I haven't wronged him.""He hates you because of Mrs. Daisy," Marvin said.Mr. Myron raised an eyebrow, waiting for further explanation, but what Marvin said next was quite shocking."Apparently, during their marriage, Mrs. Daisy never loved him.

    Marvin glanced at Dariel, who was seated across from him, with a serious and tense expression.“It’s been over a month, and still no trace of her?” Marvin asked, his voice low but demanding.Dariel, slightly hunched over, slowly shook his head. “I suspect she’s fled the city, maybe even the country, with a fake identity. Just like what she did to the man at the scene of Lily’s accident. Damian too… he was a wanted man back then, wasn’t he? But he managed to leave the country with a fake identity,” Dariel explained, his tone filled with suspicion.Hearing this, Marvin felt the heavy burden on his shoulders growing even heavier. He leaned back in his chair, letting out a long sigh, trying to calm the turmoil inside him. “So what now? Just let her get away? No way!” Marvin declared firmly, his voice booming with restrained anger. “I want her behind bars, suffering even more than her father!”Dariel looked at Marvin calmly, understanding his friend’s anger and frustration. “I’ve already s
