"Let go of me!" Clarice struggled and managed to extricate herself from Tristan's touch, which had been accidental to deliberate. She gave the man a little distance as she gave him an unfriendly expression. "You're still acting like this, Clarice. What if you had fallen? I saved you." If she had fallen, she might have suffered a concussion or injury, but the fact was, Tristan had saved her. But all that made it worthwhile for him to touch Clarice and look at her more closely. "Fine. Thank you. That's what you wanted to hear from me, right?" Tristan returned her gaze, his lips forming a smile that Clarice had seen for the first time on his face. It was an unusual smile for someone who had recently been expressionless to now express it in front of her. "Well, your smile is weird. You don't deserve to smile, so keep it to yourself," Clarice said, mocking him. "Or are you afraid that you'll fall in love with me?" Clarice widened her eyes. She felt like she had heard wrong, but th

Clarice couldn't sleep all night. Tristan's words kept ringing in her mind until she decided not to sleep at all, busy reading her unfinished books. She immediately got ready to go to Joel's grave before Tristan came to get her because it was better if he didn't show up when Clarice needed some alone time with Joel, her dead boyfriend. With quick feet, she stepped into the elevator and down to the parking lot. Without lingering too long to warm up her car, she left the apartment with a sense of relief. Her heart was beating fast as she was like a thief sneaking up on the owner of the house. She bought flowers and brought them to Joel's grave. The cemetery was still very quiet, but Clarice could see a few people who came to look at the graves of the dead. For some reason, Clarice's breathing seemed to be more labored than before. It was surreal coming to her boyfriend's grave alone so early in the morning. Staring at Joel's grave, which still had some flowers on it, Clarice repeatedl

The statement just now was like a thunderbolt that struck her, making her freeze and even stare at him with great surprise. She did not expect and even had no clue if it turned out that the older brother of her late boyfriend liked her for a long time. This was news that came as a boomerang for her. The thing was, Clarice never had feelings for Joshua, and even she thought that Joshua had a woman who she even saw that the man often changed women in one day. So, how could the man standing in front of her have liked her all these years? "I don't trust you," she said, her voice trembling. "You refuse to trust me, Clarice. I know enough about your character. I have been learning for years." Clarice swallowed. How could Joshua know about her, know that she refused to trust him because to her it still didn't make sense? Clarice tried to shake off Joshua's grip, this time she intended to run and get out of the man's presence. She didn't want to make Joel's grave a witness to the st

"WHAT?! Are you kidding me?" Joshua had already guessed what expression Clarice would show him. It was a pleasure to see her beautiful face surprised. He smiled wryly, then shook his head. "I'm not joking at all, Clarice. Whether you like it or not, you have to marry me. Because if you don't, I will ruin your life." His threat was no joke. Clarice heard how Joshua emphasized his threat, making her imagine what would happen if she refused and chose to have her life destroyed by him. After all, how could she marry a man who was the older brother of her late boyfriend? To her, it was tantamount to betrayal, and Joshua should feel that way. But seeing his expression of no guilt or grief made Clarice question whether Joshua's kindness to Joel had been a trick. "Well, marrying you is one of my wishes, Clarice. And I won't let you refuse. After all, you wouldn't want your family to be ruined by your decision, would you?" Clarice's body shook violently. She wanted to fall and die.

Tristan waited in front of Clarice's apartment as he walked back and forth. He felt he had to protect her because, after all, he had met her and liked her from the first moment he met her. But this time, he couldn't do much considering the man Clarice was with was the man who had everything. Even Joshua could bankrupt his apartment or take it over, maybe not only that but the whole business Tristan was working on could fall into his hands also. He hated that he could do nothing but wait. There was no answer also when he called Clarice. And on his watch, he saw that it was eleven o'clock at night, but Clarice hadn't returned. Tristan crouched in front of her room, waiting for some time until he finally saw Clarice appear. She looked startled to see him in front of her room, paused for a moment, then resumed her walk. Her eyes were swollen, evidence that Clarice had been crying recently or at least a few hours ago. Tristan looked at her as he stood up. "Clarice … " he called.

Three days with Tristan ... never before had Clarice been so close to a man she had only met since the death of her boyfriend. Tristan was gentle with a much different character than when they first met. He didn’t show much of a caring side, but he understood what Clarice needed. Three days with Tristan could even make Clarice slowly accept Joel's death. But Clarice still considered Joel her boyfriend because she still loved him so much. She could only accept his death with the little she felt. Now, there were four days left when she would face Joshua again. She felt so heavy to face him, especially with her closeness with Tristan just now. It felt like she was betraying him even though they were not in a relationship. Tristan kept asking if Joshua was seeing her or not, but Clarice always replied that Joshua wasn't seeing her, which was true. Joshua had promised Clarice that he wouldn't see her until the week was up. "I won't see you for a week until you come and tell me your

Clarice woke up from her sleep when she realized that she had been sleeping on the sofa all night. She blinked her eyes and gathered her strength before moving to do some activities. That day was her day off, she should have been able to wake up later, but somehow she woke up so early that she couldn't go back to sleep. The gift Joshua had given her was still in her hand and she had unconsciously carried it with her all night to sleep. When she realized it, she put it away and then stood up from the sofa while stretching her muscles. "It's a nice day, but I don't know what to do today," she said, as she opened the balcony window of her room. Clarice made coffee for the first time in her apartment. Clarice's late boyfriend used to drink Joel's specialty coffee, but now she was going to carry on Joel's activities, knowing that coffee wasn't as bad as she thought. While waiting for the coffee machine to start, Clarice tidied up her apartment, which she found quite messy. She was us

Tristan's words were no joke to Clarice. Because Clarice did make a mistake for him, she didn't tell Tristan about Joshua and her university reunion which even had Joshua in it. Somehow Clarice didn't want to tell him and that was what made her feel guilty. "Why are you silent? Did you make a mistake?" asked Tristan who noticed Clarice's silence. Clarice was taken aback. She shook her head quickly, not wanting to create a suspicion that would make her feel even more guilty. "N–no. I–I just miss Joel," Clarice replied, softly. Tristan sighed. Whenever Clarice discussed and mentioned Joel, it made him feel even more jealous and resentful. He knew there was no point in feeling that way when he knew the person she longed for was dead. But it still meant that Clarice still had Joel in her heart. The reason Clarice always used Joel's name was to avoid any suspicion. Because it proved to be true when she saw Tristan's expression when she mentioned Joel's name, he changed. He seemed

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
