While on the road, Joshua, who was driving his car, received a call from his office. He picked up the call with his Bluetooth headset attached to his ear.

"Speak," he commanded.

Usually, the call was from Joana and he always greeted calls like that from the office because he knew there was something important that Joana had to call him about on the day he was enjoying.

"Hmm, I see. Can you tell him to wait a moment? I'll be there soon but I can't stay long. I'm with my family, Joana. Damn it!"

"Ok."

The call ended and Joshua looked to his side, specifically at Harry. "It's okay if we make a quick stop at my office, right?"

"It's fine if it doesn't take too long. You know we're about to have breakfast, Joshua."

"It won't be long."

Joshua took the time to look at Clarice through the center glass that reflected her. Clarice didn't see him because she deliberately didn't want to meet Joshua's evil eyes that could always make her unable to be angry with him.

Joshua was a little annoyed wh

    Clarice was perhaps too sensitive to Joshua's words, so whatever Joshua said to her, made her feel sensitive and at the same time feel that what Joshua said was not appropriate for her to hear. Because she thought it was rude.Eventually, Clarice fell silent again and chose not to say anything. Because when she started talking, whatever she said was always wrong for Joshua.As they continued on their way to the restaurant Harry had reserved for breakfast, the cell phone in her bag vibrated, prompting her to open it.It just so happened that Clarice wasn't holding Axcel at that moment because Axcel was in Flora's arms. She was free to look at her phone too without Joshua being unable to see the contents as well.Her eyebrows furrowed when she got a text message and also a multimedia message from a number she didn't recognize. But her expression immediately disappeared when the contents of the message were written:"Don't make any expression if you want to know about Joel's death and op

    "Clarice, what do you mean?" asked Joshua. His hand was still gripping her arm which felt rough even to Clarice. But Clarice bravely shook it off. "Ask yourself. You have three days from now to confess everything you've done."Clarice quickly changed into her baby doll suit and passed Joshua to go down to the second floor. This time she didn't care about him, or even fear him.Then as the elevator doors closed, she sighed that she had finally managed to behave properly with Joshua. But she needed to hear for herself what Joshua had done. She wanted to confirm for herself whether Joshua had done it or not.Seeing Clarice's expression, Flora touched her shoulder as she passed Axcel to her. Her motherly gaze then asked what had happened to her over the past day. But Clarice remained silent and shook her head.Harry was also very curious about what happened to his daughter-in-law, but seeing Clarice remain silent, made him not want to ask more even though he was very curious. As long as

    Joshua immediately called someone he suspected. And the call was immediately connected to the person."Zoya," Joshua said when the woman picked up the call."Hey, what's up, why are you calling me all of a sudden?"Joshua was silent for a few moments and he sighed. He was fooling himself because he shouldn't have called Zoya right away. He didn't do it with a cool head which made him feel stupid."Is it safe there?" Joshua asked finally.Zoya was heard laughing, making Joshua clench his hands into fists. Without the woman realizing it, her laughter showed the truth that she had lied to Joshua, who had something she had kept secret."Stop laughing, Zoya. I'm not playing," Joshua ordered coldly.Zoya immediately fell silent and she sighed. "Well, everything is fine. Everything is safe. You don't have to worry.""Hmm ... it sounds so, but I feel like something has happened.""Oh? Tell me what, Joshua," Zoya pleaded."Not now."Joshua ended the call immediately, leaving Zoya to her own cu

    In the end, Clarice couldn't help but leave for London again suddenly. She didn't want to, but then seeing Joshua's expression, which didn't accept rejection, she finally complied. Her face had only been grim. Her gaze was looking out of the airplane window, taking in the scenery below while clutching the bassinet that the airplane had provided specifically for babies. Joshua beside her looked calm and expressionless. But in his heart, he was happy that Clarice finally couldn't refuse his decision. Although their flight was filled with gloom on Clarice's face, Joshua enjoyed it.As Clarice tried to remain silent, her stomach suddenly felt hungry. Having never ordered food on a plane, she was at a loss for what to do unless she asked her husband, Joshua."I'm hungry," Clarice whispered, suddenly near Joshua."I'll get some food for you, then. Wait here."Joshua immediately stood up and did his duty. While Clarice spoke to him, he sounded reluctant. Seeing how swiftly and quickly Josh

    They arrived in London at midnight. Clarice was already looking sleepy while Axcel had fallen asleep on the way to Joshua's apartment. "We'd better get some sleep, Clarice," Joshua said."Yeah. I'm going to clean myself up first."As Clarice went into the bathroom, Joshua approached his two maids. He told them that he was going out quietly tonight on business, and he didn't want them to tell Clarice. Joshua then went back to his room and took off his clothes. He waited for Clarice outside the bathroom with one hand on the door.Clarice opened the door and was shocked to see Joshua so close. She smiled in embarrassment and clucked while shaking her head. "You always surprise me," Clarice said."That's what I love about being around you. So, don't get angry without me knowing why."Clarice smiled and looked at him. "I will never from now on." Clarice kissed him on the lips for three seconds and then walked away from Joshua smiling without him knowing.She lay down on the bed, sighing w

    The clinking of forks and knives filled the early morning silence in Joshua's apartment. He and Clarice were having breakfast together with Axcel in his little baby chair.Suddenly the phone rang and one of his maids picked up the call. She looked startled after hearing something on the phone. She immediately put the phone on the table and approached Joshua. "Sir, there's a call for you," she said."Hmm? Who? You'd better tell me now.""But, sir—""Speak!"Clarice looked at Joshua and immediately touched his hand as he snapped at his maid. She gave him a look to not behave like that but Joshua immediately chose silence and exhaled."I don't want to be disturbed, so speak up," this time his tone sounded quite soft to his maid."Sir, Miss Zoya died. She was murdered by her bedmate," his maid said.Joshua pretended to be shocked as he looked at Clarice. Clarice looked even more shocked than he was. She covered her lips with her hand and Joshua immediately stood up. "Wait a moment." He a

    Clarice stood not far from Zoya's grave, stiff and nervous. Her arms were crossed, watching as she sighed. She felt like she was in the time when Joel died and she wasn't at Joel's funeral because she was afraid of Joel's family.And she also remembered when she met Joshua at the cemetery too. When she visited Joel's grave the next day, Joshua appeared and began to force her to marry him.She noticed Joshua there and fortunately, Joshua understood that Clarice was still traumatized by Joel's death and was affected by everything.When the funeral was over, Joshua approached her and took off Clarice's sunglasses so he could see her expression. "I'm done. We can go home.""I haven't said goodbye to Zack, Joshua," Clarice said."I've said goodbye to him. Don't worry."Joshua then pushed Clarice's body so that she couldn't help but follow him. They had even reached the car park. "I don't intend to stay here too long thinking about you, Clarice. So, please obey."Clarice finally sat down in

    A week after Zoya's death, Joshua and Clarice finally returned to New York. Before they left Joshua had checked that no one would suspect him of being Zoya's killer.Now Joshua could feel at peace that his business was over. But he also became more aware of his surroundings because he didn't want Clarice to get any more mysterious messages. When it came to sin, Joshua knew how sinful and guilty he was for what he did. But his selfishness made him do it because for him, having Clarice was the most important thing in his life.Joshua could even go to his office with peace of mind and almost once an hour he would call Clarice to make sure that nothing had happened to her. The CCTV wasn't enough to satisfy him, so he needed to hear Clarice's voice."Tonight, do you want us to have dinner together?" Joshua asked."Sure. Of course, I want to. Do I need to bring Axcel?"Joshua shook his head even though Clarice couldn't see. "Leave him with the maids. I just want the two of us to spend some

    Clarice cried after she heard the judge's decision that Joshua's sentence could not be commuted or even reduced. Because Joshua committed a murder that left two victims dead, Joshua was sentenced to life imprisonment.Clarice immediately left the courtroom and chose to take a deep breath of air outside. Her body shook with unceasing crying. Her chest felt so tight that she couldn't bear to see Joshua in person forever.Then Darren came and touched her shoulder. Clarice immediately turned around and looked at him. "What?" she asked."He's waiting for you. Meet him, I think he wants to have you at a time like this. He needs you, Clarice."Clarice almost refused. Yeah ... she wasn't in the mood to meet her husband for now, but what Darren said was true. She just needed to strengthen her heart more to face her husband.A big part of Clarice also blamed herself because if she hadn't told Joshua that she would be relieved if he confessed at the police station, then the life sentence wouldn't

    A month without Joshua in her life still leaves Clarice struggling to cope with new days. She continued to visit the prison and even the phone calls from Joshua came every day. Clarice always considered her visits to the prison as a form of encouragement for her even if it only lasted for a few hours, because she was honestly never satisfied with that limited communication.Her relationship with Darren was also still going on as it should. Clarice continued to think of Darren as her mentor while Darren always secretly monitored Clarice's condition when she was away from him because he thought that was what Joshua wanted from Clarice; to be safe when she was away from him.Clarice finally managed to understand some of Joshua's work after a month of learning from Darren. She was glad that she understood so quickly that she didn't have to keep calling Darren or meeting him because all she wanted to do was get away from Darren.Joana had even started living at the Mansion as well so they

    Darren put Clarice on his bed. He took off her high heels and covered her with a blanket. Sighing and massaging the bridge of his nose, he stared at Clarice for a few moments. He felt that this was the first time he would have a special relationship with his best friend's wife. All this time he had been with other women who were different and single of course. Then fate made him have to have business with Clarice. Joshua's offer was tantalizing, any man who saw Clarice would immediately want to agree to the offer. But his little heart said it was difficult."How can you share your wife with me just because you're in jail, Joshua?" he asked as he looked at Clarice who had fallen asleep due to drunkenness. "What if I fall for her, Joshua? Doesn't that make our friendship break?"This time Darren restrained himself. He rolled out the bed cover on his couch and picked up a pillow. He lay down on it and closed his eyes to sleep.The next morning Clarice woke up, opening her eyes slowly. S

    Clarice drove her car to the prison where Joshua was. She had the desire to visit Joshua every day when she finished work or when she was free. Unfortunately, she didn't bring Axcel this time as she went straight to the place. She smiled to herself just thinking about seeing Joshua. She even tidied up her appearance and wanted to show off a little to Joshua that she was now a career woman. Even though Clarice was still upset with Joshua about the talk about Darren and her, she was still going to see him.Clarice waited in the meeting room with her body sitting up straight and her heart beating fast."Hey, gorgeous," greeted Joshua who Clarice had been missing for the past day.Clarice stood up and hugged him immediately. She even aggressively kissed him blindly, not caring about some of the other visitors.Joshua then pulled away realizing that Clarice's lust had peaked. "Hey, are you alright, Clarice?" Joshua asked. They ended up sitting together, side by side with Clarice's head on

    "Alright, Clarice ... based on the expression on your face, I think Joshua told you about you and Darren things. Is that right? I mean, no offense because I was told by him too so as not to be surprised if something happens between you two," Joana said quickly in one breath.Clarice's eyes widened in shock. "He told you that too?! What the hell is he doing?! I got so upset when he said things like that to me. I mean ... How could he—"Clarice chose not to continue because she was honestly embarrassed and didn't know what to do. Just the thought of her being with her husband's best friend made her shudder with horror because it was tantamount to cheating on her."Look, Clarice ... I've been in the position of not being able to have sex a few times. So sometimes I choose to have one-night stands with other men on different nights. I mean, I just want to say that staying horny is not fun."Clarice sighed as she rolled her eyes. Her hands were clasped around her waist and she seemed to be

    Accompanied by Joana and Darren, Clarice entered the police station and began to meet Joshua who was now wearing an orange suit which means he was now a prisoner. Clarice, Joana, and Darren stood tensely as they waited for Joshua to appear. Although there were chairs and tables, they were not interested in sitting down until they saw Joshua in person.Joshua arrived shortly after they had waited. Handcuffed and then released to meet his friends and family, the warden left him behind."Boss … I'm glad you okay," Joana said, sounding sad."Joshua, I'm going to try to get you out of here as soon as possible," Darren said without any reply.There was only Clarice who didn't say anything but remained silent with her body trembling and her eyes filled with tears.Joshua looked at her with a smile that was so strange to Clarice's eyes. Yeah ... they looked at each other but Clarice saw a different smile from him. A sad smile that Joshua had never shown in his life."No hugs for your now con

    Her eyes flickered as she sighed looking up at Joshua. And Clarice knew the meaning of that look, that Joshua wanted her to talk about what she was feeling. "So," Joshua said with a sigh, then sat back in his chair, "what haven't you told me about how you feel lately, Baby?"Like she was in a game where she had to choose one or the other, Clarice really couldn't choose. She was so reluctant to even tell him what was bothering her that her tears came, falling.Joshua quickly stood up and his burly hands touched her wet cheeks and wiped them. "Hey, what have I done to make you cry, Baby?"That was the problem. Clarice's lips were almost closed and she couldn't open them. She couldn't say it because she didn't want to hurt his feelings."Look, if something is bothering you lately, you should tell me immediately. And if it's because of me, I'll be prepared to listen.""That's the point, Joshua! I can't! I can't tell you how I feel these past few days!" responded Clarice quickly. "I can't

    The year of Axcel's birth was the biggest celebration Clarice has ever had in her life. She didn't even expect that her son's birthday would be celebrated as big as her wedding with Joshua But she's happy that it was the celebration he deserved.Although Clarice initially told Joshua that there was no need for a big celebration, Joshua made their son's birthday celebration a big one with the help of Joana who was always ready whenever Joshua needed her."So, what about all this? Do you like it?" asked Joshua, whispering at her side.Clarice smiled without looking at him but at the festivities of Axcel's birthday."It's too much. But I'm happy. Well, I don't even know if Axcel understood his birthday or not because he's only one year old."Joshua put his arm around her shoulders and squeezed gently. "It doesn't matter if he understands or not, the important thing is that we try our best for him, Clarice, and we made a picture moment with him.The smile on Clarice's lips was always ther

    They returned to the mansion just the two of them. This time they again left Axcel at Harry and Flora's house because Joshua felt that he and Clarice needed to rest without interruption.Actually, Clarice had never minded Axcel's presence at the Mansion even when she was tired. But she knew that she couldn't defy Joshua's orders which sometimes she really couldn't refuse."Would you like a warm bath? I'll prepare it for you, Clarice," Joshua said, looking at his wife with a tired face."Hmm, yeah. I think that's a good idea. I'll rest for a while until you finish preparing the warm water," Clarice said.Joshua watched her until she lay down on the bed and then he went into the bathroom and started preparing the bathtub for them to soak in together.When Joshua came out of the bathroom, he saw Clarice already asleep on the bed, snoring softly. Joshua didn't have the heart to wake her up because Clarice looked so peaceful in her sleep.Joshua then decided to take a shower first to clean
