POV JEANNE

"Hm..."

I was sitting in one of the seats inside one of the famous fast food restaurants in America. Both of my hands were holding a jumbo burger that was half gone, while on my table was still another portion burger, a portion of fries and a portion of chicken nuggets, also not forgetting about a large cola.

I chewed the food in my mouth slowly, savoring each flavor. This was the first time I felt that fast food would taste this good, even though I wasn't a fan of fast food like burgers, fries, or the like.

"Since when did fast food taste this good?" I said as I stared at the jumbo burger with double cheese in my hand, "Did they improve the recipe?"

I took another bite of the burger in my hand and chewed slowly, until I felt thirsty.

Just as I was about to drink my cola, I realized it was gone and just left the ice cubes which had almost all melted.

"Ah, it was out," I muttered softly as I looked at the counter, "I'll buy another glass."

    POV JEANNE … "He's 21 years old? I thought he was around 17 years old," I muttered. I sat in front of the dressing table with my gaze focused on the screen of my phone, reading an array of information about 'Noisjy' a.k.a Noah Morgan on a fan website. "..." "It's so different from Leo and Owen," I muttered again with a clumsy smile. When compared to Leo and Owen, Noah has a face that looks cute rather than manly. Maybe his face type is more similar to Jonah Mason — the manager of the bar where I used to work before I got into a contract marriage with Leo. While I was busy with my phone, I suddenly felt an embrace on my stomach from behind. "Ah!" I squealed in surprise. Suddenly, I turned my gaze toward the large mirror in front of me. From the reflection of the mirror, I could see my husband hugging me from behind while kissing my neck and shoulders. "Leo?" I said. "I miss you baby," Leo said as he buried his face in the border of my neck and shoulders and hugged my sto

    POV NOAH … "That's woman ..." "... why am I thinking about her so much," I muttered as I stared at the night sky from my room window. Of all the women I had met, I had never felt attracted to any of them. However, the woman I met earlier at the fast food restaurant was different. I guess she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. It makes me couldn't stop thinking about her since the moment I saw her. "I wanna meet her again," I said as I took out a white handkerchief from my shirt pocket. I looked at the handkerchief in my hand and smiled lightly. This was her handkerchief she gave me, which might be a bridge between us to meet again. However, I suddenly remembered one thing. "Oh shit! I didn't get her social media name ID yet," I said feeling both annoyed and regretful, "I also didn't even ask her name properly. Now, how do I meet her again?!" "..." "Argh! Why you're such a fool Noah!" I cursed my stupidity as I smiled bitterly. How could I be so stup

    POV JEANNE…"You have to hold it tightly like this, then aim at the target," Leo said from behind. Leo hugged me as he guided me to hold the gun in my hand correctly. One of his hands held one of my arms to correct my position, while the other guided my finger to prepare the trigger. "A-Alright then ... Can you move away a little?" I asked, "Moreover, why aren't there any other members here? You said this was some kind of training center for your new mafia members?"I was currently in a private building owned by Leo located in northwestern New York City, more precisely in the Catskill mountain area. It was actually a training ground owned by Leo that was devoted to training new mafia members. However, it was currently empty."That's because I'm closing acceptance for new members," said Leo seriously, "I have some problems regarding that. I'll tell you about that later.""...""Now, focus and relax, honey," he said again while whispering in my ear.Instead of focusing, I felt a lit

    POV JEANNE … "Ugh, where am I?" I said. I had just regained consciousness. My vision was still blurry, but it was slowly improving. The first things I saw were the wood-colored ceiling of the room and my husband's face looking at me worriedly, his expression sad. What's going on? — I asked myself in confusion. Just as I was about to speak and ask my husband, I suddenly heard the sound of a sliding door. SHRRR I turned toward the source of the sound and saw a woman dressed casually but neatly enter the room. I squinted my eyes suspiciously and asked, "Who are you?" "Oh, Mrs. Jeanne, you're finally awake. I'm Mylene Rutz, one of the personal doctors for the Morgan family, on duty here," the woman said, smiling kindly at me. With a confused look, I turned to Leo and asked, "Personal doctor? Wait... how long have I been unconscious?" I then looked again at the face of the doctor named Mylene, who was still smiling friendly. "You've only been unconscious for three hou

    POV JEANNE … "Hey, eat slowly, honey." Leo's voice came from behind me. THUD! It was followed by two glasses of drinks that he placed in front of me. One of them was the iced chocolate I wanted. "Oh, thank you, dear," I said happily. Then I looked back and Leo was smiling at me. Then he pulled the chair next to me and sat down. "I'll buy you as many as you want. As long as I can hear you call me 'dear'," Leo said while grinned slightly. I snorted and then replied, "Don't start teasing me, Leo..." "Moreover, this is all enough for me," I said as I waved my hand in rejection, "If you buy me more, you're encouraging me to get fat." "Hey, I'm just kidding," said Leo with a chuckle, "But anyway, I guess being a little plump isn't wrong at all, especially since your chest will be bigger and firmer for — ouch!" I reflexively pinched Leo's waist before he finished his sentence. . "Hey, why do you like pinching or hitting me so much, hm?" Leo asked and then he pinched

    POV JEANNE…For a moment I was stunned when my gaze met Noah's pair of yellow-brown eyes. But a second later, I smiled clumsily and said, "Thanks, but can you put me down?" "Huh?" On the other hand, Noah seemed to be a little surprised. However, not long after, a man's loud voice could be heard from behind Noah's body. "Hey, what are you doing?!" A middle-aged man's voice sounded from behind Noah. Suddenly, Noah's face changed to surprise and suddenly realized."Ugh, I'm sorry," Noah said, "I've been impudent in holding you in a public place."He then immediately helped me to stand up while continuing to say a thousand apologies. I smiled in response and said, "That's okay, I should thank you for helping me not to fall down."A moment after saying that, a slightly casually dressed middle-aged man with long black hair tied back and a thick beard was already standing in front of me, some of the hair on his face and head looking white which seemed to show his age indirectly. His t

    POV JEANNE … "You must have pretended to be Noah's relative to stalk him, right?!" said Renata, "Wait and I'll report you to the police!" Renata was then seen picking up the bag beside her and started rummaging through the contents. She then took out her phone and I knew she was about to call 911. This matter will get more complicated if she calls the police. I'm afraid it would embarrass her — I thought. I sighed and said, "Miss Mayer, I did meet Noah recently..." "...that's because I just married the second son of the Morgan family," I continued. For a moment, I saw Renata appear speechless and then turn to me with a suspicious squint. "Really? What's the proof?" she asked. Hearing Renata's question, I paused for a moment and tried to think of what evidence to show her. "Ah! Wait a minute!" Before long, I remembered my wedding photo with Leo. I searched for it in my gallery and while I was trying, I just remembered that all the memories on my phone were er

"Get your hands off my wife," Leo said again. A moment later I felt my body being pulled into Leo's arms and that was enough to calm me down a little. ""You're okay, right?" he said again as he loosened his embrace from me. I gave a small nod and said, "It's okay, dear. I'm fine." Leo smiled as he gently stroked my hair. Just as the atmosphere calmed down, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind me. "Tsk! Isn't this drama too much?" said Aryana, "Hey, bitch! Are you that obsess to get close to —" "S-So, Miss Jeanne is really your wife, L-Leo?" Noah interrupted. Noah's words instantly startled Aryana and Renata. "Wh-What? Leo? So he is ..." Aryana did not continue her sentence. Her pupils seemed to be trembling looking at Leo. Meanwhile Renata, she was stunned at my husband. Instead of

    POV JEANNE … "What?!" I got up from my position. I stood behind Samuel's body and then released my grip on Samuel's arm. "We met long before you knew my brother, you say?" I asked in astonishment. For a moment, our eyes met as Samuel glanced at me. However, not long after, he took his eyes off me again. "Forget it." "..." "No matter how well I explain it to you, it won't change anything," he said. She then released my grip on her arm and walked out of the room. CREAK! SLAM! I, on the other hand, was still rooted to my spot and staring at her disappearing figure from behind the door of the room. Not even the banging sound of the door closing made me flinch. I then threw myself back onto the bed behind me, sitting down while staring at the door. With a bitter smile, I muttered, "What the hell did he say?" I paused, trying to digest what Samuel had just told me. At least I tried to dig up my memories of Samuel back then. However, I couldn't find anythin

Until he finally looked at me with a soft gaze full of regret. "I'm sorry...""...""I couldn't hold myself and —""I-It's late," I interrupted him and immediately turned my back to him. I bit my lower lip, trying to hold back all the emotion inside me. "Jeanne, I —""Go back to your room," I said, "I'll open the door for you from this room." Then I walked in and went to the door that connected this room with the second floor corridor. CLICK!After the lock opened, I immediately opened the door to my room.I then turned around and looked at the balcony door. Samuel was still standing there, looking at me before he finally lowered his face. Shortly after, he walked towards me."I'm sorry."Those were the last words I heard from him, before he walked out of my room. SLAM!Immediately afterward, I sl

    POV JEANNE…"Good night, dear...""...""...and have a good rest."After chatting for a while with Aunt Lydia a.k.a Samuel's mother in the TV room while enjoying a cup of warm tea, our conversation finally ended at midnight. Aunt Lydia then escorted me to one of the rooms on the second floor. It was the same room I remembered from my first stay at Dawn's family home. "Thank you, aunt Lydia and good night to you too," I replied. CREAKShe didn't answer me and just gave me a smile as she closed the door. However, only halfway through closing the door, I saw her suddenly stop. "Ah, I almost forgot to say this," she said as she opened the door completely again. "Yes? Do you need anything?" I asked back. I saw that afterward, Aunt Lydia was smiling and seemed to be teasing me. "By the way, Samuel's room is next to yours," she said in a teasing tone. I knew where this was going, but I chose to pretend I didn't know. Smiling awkwardly, I replied, "I see." "Well, just in case you

    "Divorce isn't always a bad thing anyway." "..." "Sometimes, it's even a good thing to get away from a toxic relationship," she said, smiling at me, "So at least be happy. Maybe it's God's way of saving you from the harm that will come to you if you stay with him." Hearing those words, I fell silent and immediately thought about my relationship with Samuel. If I think about it, our relationship is too toxic to maintain. Even though Leo said he loved me and I was already in love with him, the way he expressed his love sometimes made me feel uncomfortable. "You're right, auntie," I said later, "Thank you for giving me a new perspective." Lydia then replied me with her warm smile. "Of course, dear," she said and then glanced at Samuel with a meaningful smile. "..." "Moreover, you can count on Samuel from now on," she said in a teasing tone, "He will glad to help you." I see where this is going - I said to myself. Instead of rejecting him outright, I just smiled

    POV JEANNE … "How was the food, Jeanne?" "It's delicious," I said as I smiled at the woman in front of me, "You've always been a talented cook, auntie." I was currently enjoying dinner at Dawn's family home. I occasionally glanced at Samuel who seemed to be enjoying the leftovers on his plate quietly. "Ah, you praise me too much~" Lydia — Samuel's mother — said with an embarrassed smile. "Hm, it just common taste," Samuel said suddenly, "Besides it, I think you put too much —" Samuel stopped what he was saying and smiled awkwardly. I followed the direction of Samuel's gaze to his mother, who was already glaring. "N-No, it's not," Samuel said then and stammered a little, "I was just joking. Mom's cooking is the best, hahaha." Then Lydia's sharp gaze softened as a smile spread across her face. "Thank you~" she said. "Hm, but it would be better if you didn't cook anymore," Samuel said again, not long after that. "Samuel!" Lydia said half shouting. I was jus

    POV JEANNE … "Is it really okay?" I asked. I was currently in Samuel's car and we were heading to Dawn's family residence. After rejecting Samuel's propose, I decided to go home. But Samuel suddenly invited me to have dinner with his family. And I don't know what came over me, but I said yes. "After all, this is your quality time with your parents," I said again. I looked doubtful at Samuel who was sitting in the driving seat, right next to me. He then glanced back at me. "Calm down," he said, chuckling softly, "Don't you already know my parents?" I lowered my gaze and then said again, "Yes, but it's been a long time since I've seen them." "..." "Isn't this supposed to be your time with them anyway?" I said again, "You once said that you often don't have time to spend with them, even to enjoy dinner together." A second later, Samuel chuckled softly. "Oh come on Jeanne, I'm sure they'll be happy to see you," he said casually. "..." "They already think of you

    POV JEANNE…"So that's the problem...""...""I think he's gone too far," Samuel said, "And it's best that you separate from a temperamental person like him." "...""You'll only put yourself in a toxic relationship if you continue to stay with him," Samuel said again, "Moreover, your marriage is only a contract. What's with a guy like that? Only dare to give the woman he loves with a contract marriage. Tch! He's a loser."I smiled weakly when I heard Samuel's words. What he said was true, nothing good would come from maintaining a relationship with a temperamental person. However, on the other hand, I still love Leo. And even though I said earlier that I didn't want this child I was carrying, I still had the conscience not to throw it away. "I also think it's fine to be the father of the child you're carrying. Of course, if you don't mind," he said again. My eyes widened when I heard the sentence that came out of Samuel's mouth. However, instead of answering him, I smiled bitterl

How dare you approach my wife when I'm not around," Leo said as he kicked Noah several times in the stomach. I, who saw this, immediately approached Leo and tried to stop him. "Stop it! Leo! Enough is enough!" I said.I tried to bring Leo a little away from Noah who was crying in pain on the floor while holding his stomach."Ugh! Cough! L-Leo, listen to my explanation, this is all just ... a misunderstanding — Cough!" Noah said, stammering in the middle of his groaning and coughing."Misunderstanding? You said that after I caught you approaching my wife, hm?!" replied Leo and then I heard him laugh sarcastically, "Don't you remember what you did back then, huh?!" "Leo, don't! Stop it!

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the people around me, my gaze focused on the figure of Noah who was still in the middle of a photo shoot and recording session for an advertisement. "It was only a month ago that he did a 'face reveal' as Noisjy, and now he has a lot of advertising jobs," I said as I smiled at him.After I left Marea Restaurant yesterday, Noah immediately contacted me. We had originally promised to meet in person at Ocean Prime Restaurant, but Noah suddenly informed me that afternoon that he might be a little late because he had another job to do. I finally decided to go to his studio, which also happened to be not far from Ocean Prime. I then turned my gaze around and found the studio crews looking at me hatefully. It seems that apart from being a crew, they are also fans — I thought.With a smile of astonishment, I then said, "And there are also many troublesome fans
