The two worked together to bring the tea and the snacks to the balcony. As they watched their favorite sunset, Suzie remembered the tools in the living room. "You are trying to work out now? Did Dylan give you the go signal?" Those tools she saw earlier especially the set of dumbbells were for heavy work out. Although Javier seemed healthy now, Suzie could not help but worry if his body could handle it. Javier smiled at his wife's concern for him. "Don't worry. I already asked Dylan and he said there is nothing to worry about. I can do more taxing physical exercises now. I really want to earn back my muscles." During his three-year coma, Javier had lost his perfect figure. Javier was very particular when it comes to his body. As an official heir, Javier had to take care of his figure. Thus, not only he was above in looks, but he also had a toned body and sculpted six-pack abs which made all women drool. But now all of them were gone. He had become a tall lanky figure with no mu
There were candlelights on both sides of Javier's feet and scattered petals in between. In a span of a few breaths, all candlelights lit up and illuminated the room. The candlelights served as a pathway toward the bed. The orange glow from the LED candlelights reflected in Javier's grey eyes. The man stood still. His heart couldn't calm down. After a pause, hefollowed the pathway and stopped in front of the bed. In the king-size bed, were scattered red petals and a huge black box with a red ribbon tied to it. There was a sticky note on the lid cover of the box.
Suzie's words caused Javier's rationality to snap. His wife was so wonderful and beautiful. He was her blessing and the love of her life. She was so attractive and sexy that Javier have to put all his energy and effort to not devore her and harm her. "No...my wife. You are the most beautiful." Javier worshipped Suzie's body with his tongue. Giving her so much pleasure that Suzie was dizzy. Looking at his adorable wife whose whole body was flushed and trembling from pleasure, finally made Javier concede. Javier's breath was hot. "I'll be gentle wife....if it hurts...tell me." However, Javier was still afraid tha
Despite the cold weather, the Albrecht mountain villa had once again opened its gate for a celebration banquet. The remote city that was usually peaceful during winter was bustling. Every road was crowded by a long line of cars. Everyone who was invited to the banquet could be said to be an important figure or a celebrity and brought a dozen guards with them. It was not only to protect their safety but to flaunt their wealth and power. Since the Albrecht was an elite family among the elites, every banquet they hosted became the gathering of the most influential people in the country. It was the perfect place for these people to gather and show off their capabilities. Of course, most of the insightful people took this opportunity to come here to strike a deal with another important figure that was hard to meet. Thus many people have already arrived an hour before the official banquet starts. This made Suzie busier than ever. Suzie was dolled up from head to toe. As the host, s
When Suzie left and the two women were able to sit, the daughter-in-law finally could not hold it in. "Mother, why did you have to ask her to forgive me? I did not do anything wrong. And did you see how rude she is to you? She did not even acknowledge your words. She is really impudent." The daughter-in-law was referring to Suzie's arrogant words and attitude. She did not like how that lowly woman ignored her and talked to her mother-in-law as if they were equals. All the women the daughter-in-law met before were fawning over her mother-in-law. Suzie was the only one who kept her head straight and even have the audacity to treat them as if they were just merely passersby. Being equal to that person with a dirty background did not suit right to the daughter-in-law. Madame Luo frowned and berated the young woman. "Is that what you can take? How many times have I brought you out and you still don't know how to read between the lines? That young w
The hall was warm and lively compared to the cold weather outside. The banquet started with great fervor with Colton's arrival. Colton took the two men with him to the front row- the VIP table. Seeing that Colton and the two men had already taken their seats, Suzie was about turn to her own table when Colton suddenly called out to her. "Suzie, there is still an empty seat here. Just sit with us." Colton then turned to the two men beside him and plead hopefully, "I hope the two gentlemen won't mind." Ambassador Milliard smiled, "She is your daughter-in-law and the one who prepared this event. She deserves to sit at this table." Attorney Andrew also answered perfunctorily, "I don't mind." Colton thanked them and gestured to Suzie to come. Suzie: "...." Was she not even spared for a moment to take a break? Suzie could only smile as she approached the table and took the empty seat. Many guests who were paying attention to this table eyed Suzie with envy. The guests knew the i
Suzie's ears perked up when Ambassador Milliard mentioned Javier's teenage years. Her attention was piqued. Suzie talked a lot without any guard when Javier was in a coma, thus the man came to learn about her past. However, she knew little of Javier's past.When Javier recovered and their relationship became intimate, they rarely talked about their past. Suzie also did not open the topic since Javier did not initiate it. But as Javier's wife, Suzie wanted to know more about Javier. "How is my husband as a teenager?"Ambassador Milliard glanced at her and saw the eagerness in her eyes. He could not help but sigh.This couple truly had a pitiful marital life. They were married but they weren't able to interact with each other. He sympathized with this young woman who had a comatose husband and was soon to be a widow.So Ambassador Milliard became gentler and more patient as he told Suzie, "He was gentle and refined. He treated everyone with respect. Despite his young age, he knew his
Colton was in a good mood. He did not expect that his choice would bear fruit immediately. At first, he was not optimistic about using Suzie to get through Ambassador Milliard. That old man was a tough nut to crack. He used many ways to get closer to him but the old man kept his guard up.So Colton thought that Suzie would not make a difference. But it was alright. Since his goal was to introduce Suzie to them as Javier's wife and use the latter to get Javier's wealth.But after seeing their interaction today, Colton was positive that Ambassador Milliard would definitely choose Suzie and support her.Colton could not help but want to speed up the process of his plan. He really could not wait to get his hands on the inheritance. While Colton was busy interacting with the important guests, a loud voice that was louder than anyone else reached everyone's ears."Such a lively banquet! Why I am not invited?"Such boorish action caught everyone's attention. Everyone's head turned to the
Suzie smiled and kissed the twin's head. "Always remember that you two not only have us but you have each other. Keep looking out for each other like this as you two grow up, okay? Then Mommy will give you a lot of rewards." Hearing rewards, the two children's moods turned happy. "What rewards? Are we going to the ocean and dive with sharks?" "Are we going to fly in the air and meet Superman?" Suzie laughed. She really wished her children would never lose their innocence and their imagination towards the world. They could grow up strong and disciplined, but they should never lose their innocence toward life and their hope for the future. She would make sure of it. "Let me think about it." The two children talked about the rewards that were about to come while they held Suzie's hand. When Javier met them at the company's lobby, he could not help but smile at the scenery. The scenery of his wife and his two children laughing and smiling warmed up his heart. Life was full of ups a
"Everyone, I appreciate your presence here. The reason behind gathering you all and convening this meeting on such short notice is to announce that my wife will be visiting." Tension hung in the air as Javier initiated the meeting. However, the revelation that followed left everyone in a state of surprise. Maintaining his composed demeanor, Javier continued, "Many of you had the opportunity to meet her at last year's opening ceremony. She expresses her regret that she couldn't personally greet each and every one of you on that occasion. My wife is a busy mother, her schedule is quite demanding. I kindly ask for your understanding in this regard." "Madame does not need to apologize." "Madame's kindness is truly remarkable. It's touching that she considers employees like us. We're genuinely grateful for her thoughtfulness." "There is no need to bother about us...." Those with a talent for flattery seized the opportunity to win favor. And their strategy proved effective. Javier's
Three years later...In the massive conference room of a certain high-rise building, a group of executives and the board of directors were seated accordingly in their positions. The seat at the head of the table was empty.Everyone waited for that person's arrival with their hearts in their throats.Only the people in higher positions within the company knew how terrifying their boss was. Though young, their boss was ruthless when it came to business and never gave a second chance to those who harmed the company.He was generous to those who worked hard and remained loyal, but ruthless to his enemies. In three years, the company had risen unimaginably and become the number one empire in the country. It then ascended to a top-three rank in the whole of Asia.To those employees who remained with the company even during the most difficult times, their rise to these positions was a testament to their loyalty. They considered themselves fortunate to have stuck with the company and reaped n
In the quiet embrace of dawn's gentle touch, the sea awoke from its slumber, its vast expanse stretching out as far as the eye could fathom. The horizon, adorned with hues of soft amethyst and pale rose, held a promise of the spectacle to come. A delicate, cool breeze carried the faint scent of salt and adventure, caressing the senses like a whispered secret. Suzie tiptoed out of the bedroom and washed her face downstairs. She then busied herself in the kitchen. It had been two weeks since the couple had stayed on the island, and there hadn't been a single day when Suzie woke up early to prepare breakfast. Partly because it was Javier's fault for keeping her up late, but whenever she did wake up, Javier had already cooked breakfast and cleaned the kitchen. Even the dishes were taken care of by Javier. There wasn't much else for Suzie to do but watch her handsome, gorgeous husband handle the chores. Suzie appreciated his efforts. However, she also wanted to showcase her cooking ski
Suzie woke up, feeling an ache in her lower body. She opened her eyes and saw sunlight peeking in through the curtains.How long had it been since she was out?She slowly sat up straight and felt the stinging sensation again. She couldn't help but blame the man once more for being too fierce last night.It was as if the married couple had a connection; Javier appeared at the door, holding a warm glass of water.He looked surprised to see Suzie awake. He hurriedly walked in and handed her the water."You're awake. How do you feel?" Guilt and self-blame were evident on Javier's face. He knew that he had been too rough last night.Suzie wanted to scold him, but seeing him like this, her heart softened. Still, she glared at him. "You were indeed too rough last night."Javier gently helped Suzie to her feet. "I'm sorry. I lost control. Mrs. Zhou kept you away from me for three days—how could I not miss you?" Javier couldn't help but drag Mrs. Zhou into the conversation.Three days without
"....so just look at me and don't be nervous." A voice sounded on the front, breaking the fight that was about to start. Ambassador Milliard and Uncle Surge had already arrived in front of the bride's waiting room. At the door, Javier was almost hugging the door as he spoke with a pitiful voice, "I really wanted to see you. I haven't seen you for three days. Mrs. Luo is too strict." "We will see each other in a few minutes. So go to the hall and wait for me. Let my makeup artists work in peace," Suzie's voice sounded from inside the room. "...Alright. I miss you so bad, wife." Ambassador Milliard: "...." Uncle Surge: "...." Fortunately, they were the only people here. If other guests happened to pass by, Javier's image would completely shift from that of a peerless young CEO to that of a lovestruck fool, simping for his wife. The door swung open, and Javier, who had been clinging to it, almost stumbled forward. Mrs. Luo emerged from the room and deliberately avoided him. "Jus
Many people began talking about the couple again. Some were a bit regretful that the wedding of the century was not publicized on the TV. They could only get some news and updates from the social media of the guests.In a salon, a group of young misses were browsing their phones as they were getting pedicures.One of the young ladies saw the post and the discussion. She sat up straight in shock and the pedicurist almost ruined the nail polish she was applying on her toes."Wow! The whole island?! This is amazing! The island is so beautiful! I want to go there!" The young woman squealed. She glanced at the young woman at the far end of their group."Bianca, Mr. Albretch has gifted a very massive and beautiful island to your sister. We can go there, right?"Bianca was also browsing her phone. Even though she did not want to see the news about the wedding, everyone was talking about it and the photos from the island kept showing up on the hot search. She naturally saw this discussion.Wh
The sun hung low in the sky. The sea, a vast mirror of shimmering azure, stretched as far as the eye could see, its waves whispering secrets to the shore. Glistening flecks of sunlight danced upon the water's surface, a prelude to the symphony of colors that was about to unfold.The gentle lull of the waves created a serene backdrop, a tranquil cadence that set the rhythm for the impending ceremony.Seagulls soared gracefully above, their calls mingling with the rustling of palm fronds swaying in the warm breeze. The air held a hint of salt, making people feel as if they were in the sea's embrace, welcoming all who had gathered to witness this union of souls.At the water's edge, a carefully crafted boarding ramp stood adorned with seashells and diaphanous fabrics that fluttered in harmony with the wind. There was red carpet for the guest who embarked from their private boats.Delicate petals, kissed by sunlight, were scattered along the sandy aisle, guiding the way to the heart of th
..... While Suzie was busy pampering herself, Javier, the groom, was also solving some things on his own. He took a break from his busy schedule and visited the City Z penitentiary. City Z's prison had the maximum security in the country where high-profiled criminals with heavy chargers were assigned to. Because of Colton's identity and the long list of his punishment, he was assigned to this place. "Inmate 1206, you have a visitor!" A correctional officer banged on a certain cell's door with his baton. A thin man stood up with a confused expression. He followed the correctional officer to the visiting area. When he saw the person through the partition glass, the thin man paused. The compliant look on his face shifted for a moment. Javier was sitting on the other side with a calm gaze. He pointed at the telephone beside the partition glass. The correctional officer pushed the thin man, "Inmate 1206, you only have fifteen minutes." The thin man had no choice but to sit. He hes
