"Are you ready, dear?"

Chloe nodded confidently as Dylan picked her up directly from the hotel room. Once again, she checked her appearance in the mirror before heading towards the Ballroom where the event would take place. She was making sure in her heart that she would soon become the wife of Sebastian Edwardo Martin.

Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined marrying someone she despised so much. Chloe even wondered why life could be so ironic. To fulfill what had been planned from afar, she had to reluctantly marry the man she believed was behind Nathalie's death.

Chloe was determined. Once this case was revealed, she would personally drag him to prison, redeeming every wrongdoing he had done to her sister.

"Chloe... Can Papa say something?" Dylan asked as they were about to leave the hotel room.

"What does Papa want to say?"

Dylan approached Chloe, took both her wrists, and spoke again, "When you become a wife, be good to your husband. Accompany him in good times and bad." Dyl

    Chloe blinked her eyes repeatedly as she woke up from sleep. Squinting, she tried to guess the numbers displayed on the digital clock above the nightstand. Then, she looked to the side but didn't find Edward in his bed. So, where did he go this early morning?For a moment, the blonde woman stretched in her bed, flexing her muscles before deciding to sit up and prepare to get out of bed. Just as she was about to rise, she heard the sound of the bathroom door opening. There was Edward, shirtless, casually passing in front of her. It seemed intentional, as if he was getting back at Chloe for something she did last night."You can take a shower now. After that, we'll have breakfast together and then go to my place," Edward said, handing Chloe a bathrobe."My place?" Chloe asked.Edward nodded. "Yes... we're married now, so it's only fitting for you to live with me.""I thought you lived in an apartment. Aren't single men supposed to prefer living there?" Chloe inquired, her curiosity evid

    Chloe smiled politely and replied, "For now, I don't need anything, but... can I ask a question?""Of course," Leta nodded confidently. She couldn't possibly deny her employer from asking questions."Does Edward often spend time here?" Chloe inquired.Leta shook her head rhythmically. "Mr. Edward used to come home here frequently, but lately, he spends more time in his apartment. He only visits this house occasionally.""Ah...," Chloe cleared her throat and nodded in understanding. "Previously, did Edward often bring women home?"Leta's forehead wrinkled slightly. "Forgive me, does that mean your husband used to bring his dates home before you got married?"Chloe nodded. "Yes, that's what I meant. No need to be shy or secretive. Just tell me everything. I just want to know Edward's behavior before marrying me.""Well...," Leta began to share. "As far as I can remember, Mr. Edward used to bring women home quite often. I even remember who some of them were.""Did they stay overnight?" C

    "Mr. Edward, how much longer do I have to wait for you? If you're busy, I can go to the office by myself," Chloe pouted. Her patience, which she had been trying to nurture, vanished in an instant, replaced by annoyance as she waited for her husband to finish his tasks.Today, Chloe purposely accompanied her husband to the Quantum building. She was asked to accompany Edward to a meeting with some shareholders. After the event, she planned to return to her own office. However, until this moment, Edward showed no intention of letting her leave."Just wait a little longer, Darling," Edward replied, still focused on examining some documents on his desk."Ah!" Chloe retorted. "Can't you just call me by my name? Besides, we're in the office. Your behavior is very unprofessional, Ed."Edward raised his head and then burst into laughter. Nicholas, who happened to be in the CEO's office as well, smiled in response."What's wrong with using the term 'Darling'? Am I committing a crime by calling

    Chloe was shocked when she opened her eyes to find Edward asleep beside her—not lying down but sitting right next to the nightstand. The man's head was left resting on his left hand. At the same time, his right hand gripped Chloe's fingers tightly. Slowly, he tried to let go of Edward's hand. But the man woke up feeling Chloe's movement instead of letting go. "Are you awake?" he asked. "How are you feeling now?" There was a tinge of worry in Edward's question. "I'm fine," Chloe replied coldly. Maybe you are still dizzy due to the side effects of the drugs injected into your body. But before long, the woman's eyes flashed sharply. She looked at Edward questioningly. "Who changed my clothes?" Edward casually replied. "Of course I am. Who else? There's no way I'd have Samuel or the driver at my house take his place." "You!" Chloe shouted. "How dare you take off my clothes!" Edward shook his head. I feel sorry for the condition of his wife. But refraining from laughing, let alone seeing

    After the small argument in his office, Edward kept his promise to take Chloe to Dylan's hotel. When they reached the parking lot, he attentively helped her unbuckle the seatbelt that was wrapped around her body."Your work is done, I'll pick you up," Edward said."Tch, I'm not a child who needs to be dropped off and picked up. No need to be excessive," Chloe declined. "Besides, I'm an independent woman. I'm used to doing everything myself."Edward grinned. By God, arguing with Chloe was something he enjoyed immensely. According to him, her beauty would increase tenfold when she looked annoyed, let alone when she pouted."Do I need to clarify our relationship status again?" Edward tilted his body to face his beautiful wife directly. "Let me emphasize. During these three months of winning your heart, please accept all the attitudes I show you."Chloe snorted, not responding. She chose to reach for her sling bag on the car dashboard, preparing to get out of the car.However, before she

    Waking up at 7 in the morning, Edward seemed to be already up despite it being a Sunday. He uncovered the blanket, giving a quick peck on Chloe's cheek as she was still sound asleep. Then he got up slowly and headed to the bathroom.He took quite a while to get ready. After dressing neatly, he returned to the bed and pulled a small chair, sitting not far from where Chloe lay.Edward's hand reached out, brushing aside the strands of hair covering his wife's cheek. He gently caressed her, whispering her name softly."Chloe... wake up," he commanded. "Wake up, my love."The one being awakened blinked her eyes repeatedly, gradually gathering her senses until her eyes opened fully. Grumbling lazily, Chloe responded."What else do you want to wake me up for this early?" she protested, tucking herself back under the blanket. She deliberately covered her face. "It's a holiday. Can't I just rest peacefully?"Edward approached, using his right hand to stroke Chloe's hair. Then, he slowly tried

    Chloe took a deep breath, trying to control the annoyance still lingering in her heart."Don't waste time! Quickly take me to your parents' house. And don't keep talking along the way. I need to rest."Edward wanted to laugh, but because he was already threatened, he abandoned the idea and chose to drive his car immediately, taking his wife to her parents' home.Throughout the journey, Edward occasionally glanced at Chloe, noticing how she still looked sulky. She was probably very annoyed because her day off had been disrupted.Trying to coax her, Edward stopped the car for a moment at a supermarket they passed. He got out and returned a few minutes later with a large bowl of ice cream, handing it to Chloe."For you," he said. "Honestly, I don't know your taste. But as far as I remember, everyone, whether male or female, young or old, likes ice cream. I hope, after eating it, you'll feel much better."Chloe took the bowl of ice cream from Edward without saying a word in response. She

    Chloe walked wearily into Le Meridien Hotel Piccadilly. Upon entering the room, Samuel greeted her. He was slightly puzzled to see his boss looking so pale. In his mind, he suspected that something might be wrong. With that thought, he quickly walked over to her."Ma'am, are you okay?" Samuel inquired as he placed the shopper bag she was carrying on the table. He then sat down, bringing his right hand to gently massage his forehead, which was still throbbing with pain. For the past two days, she had been feeling unwell."I don't know, Sam. I think I caught a cold or maybe it's because of lack of sleep. My head has been hurting for a few days now," Chloe replied.Samuel nodded, turned around, and headed to the pantry. He took the initiative to prepare a warm cup of chamomile tea for Chloe and immediately handed it to her."Maybe this can alleviate your headache," Samuel said, offering the cup to the woman in front of him."Thank you." Chloe didn't hesitate to take a sip of the tea that

    Edward hurriedly ran through the corridors of one of the major hospitals in the middle of London. He had lost count of how many times he glanced at his wristwatch, hoping not to be even a minute late this time. Ever since the incident when Chloe got angry and ordered him to sleep on the couch, Edward made every effort to be punctual. It felt so regretful to miss one night of embracing her.Upon reaching the second floor, he headed straight to a room dedicated to pregnant and nursing mothers. Amidst the sea of mothers, his hazel eyes finally caught sight of his wife. She was a beautiful woman dressed in a navy midi dress, engaging in casual conversation and occasionally laughing with other patients."Sorry if I'm late," Edward said after seating himself right next to Chloe. He was catching his breath from rushing to be by her side on time."No worries, I have two more patients ahead of you in line," Chloe replied. Without being asked, she handed him a bottle of mineral water she had be

    During pregnancy, it's common for every woman to experience mood swings, where they can feel extremely joyful and enthusiastic one moment, but also very emotional and sad, even crying over trivial matters. Sometimes, they may not even know the reason for their mood changes.Mood swings during pregnancy are caused by various factors, including hormonal changes, physical discomfort due to bodily changes, and natural worries about facing future life changes.From Edward's encounters with married men, almost all of them mentioned that their wives' moods would improve during the second trimester. However, it seemed not to be the case for his wife. Even as she entered the third trimester, Chloe's mood swings didn't seem to get better; in fact, they were worse than ever. She was more easily offended, cried more often, and even had fits of anger."Mister, you look like someone who's exhausted. If you're not feeling well, you should rest," Samuel said as he entered Edward's office. He had been

    On a bright morning, accompanied by birdsong and the still-refreshing air, sat a married couple engrossed in a light conversation.This was actually a result of Chloe's boredom. She realized that her husband might be feeling the same way she did at the moment. So, she took the initiative to invite Edward to relax in a corner of the garden and enjoy the morning air together.It had been seven days since Edward had been under intensive care. The good news was that his condition showed significant improvement day by day. The doctor had even given permission for him to decide when he wanted to go home."Last night, after you fell asleep, Samuel contacted me. He asked for some time to meet with you. There's something important he wants to discuss about some projects currently running at AlphaBeta," Chloe said."Tell him to meet me after work," Edward replied without turning his head. His eyes were focused on the beautifully planted row of flowers not far from where they sat."So, do you wa

    Chloe walked clumsily towards the treatment room with a chaotic state of mind and heart. The feelings of love and happiness that she had just experienced were now overflowing, replaced by deep sorrow due to the recent misfortune that befell her husband.Patricia and Liliana were well aware that Chloe was not doing well, and they decided to continue accompanying her. They did this to keep the pregnant woman away from unwanted stress, fearing it might affect the unborn child."It's okay, dear," Patricia reassured when the three of them stood right in front of the room where Edward was being treated. "Believe me, your husband will be fine. Mama is very confident that he will recover soon."Liliana nodded in agreement. Her hand reached out to push aside a lock of hair covering her son-in-law's cheek. The tired and sad expression was clearly evident on her face."Don't be sad all the time. Edward will surely wake up, dear. There's no way he'd willingly leave behind a beautiful wife like yo

    After going through many stages of trial for the crimes committed by Damian and Nicholas, today is the scheduled date for the judge's verdict. As victims, Edward and Chloe were asked to be present to listen to the verdict. However, due to Chloe's condition, she was unable to attend, so Edward chose to come alone this morning. Upon arriving at the courthouse, Hans was already waiting for him outside the courtroom. When everyone had gathered and was ready to begin the trial, Edward was asked to enter. "I hope today's verdict meets our expectations, Hans." Hans, who had just taken his seat, nodded. "I assure you, Damian will spend quite a long time in prison. He is entangled in multiple charges for the crimes he has committed." Edward pulled the corners of his lips into a smile. It was not wrong to have chosen Hans to handle the case that was affecting him. "I can't wait to see Damian's expression when he hears the judge's verdict in a moment." After a few minutes of waiting, the tr

    "I love you... Want you with all my heart. Even if God plans to separate us, I will do my best to persuade Him not to do it."Hugging Chloe's body, Edward chuckled softly. This morning, when he woke up from sleep, she couldn't stop hugging and kissing him. Acting all affectionate, like a woman who desperately wants to be loved. She had been showering him with sweet gestures countless times. It was nothing like the usual Chloe."How many more times do you need to say that? No need to repeat, my love. I know now that you truly love me," he replied, gently kissing his wife's forehead. He found her behavior this morning both adorable and exasperating."You know, Ed?" She tilted her head and asked. "I feel so foolish for often ignoring you and arrogantly rejecting you before."Edward laughed again. "So, you've truly fallen in love with me now?"Confidently, Chloe nodded. The long-haired woman was no longer ashamed to admit that she was head over heels for him now. "Maybe it's more than jus
