Edward took a moment to breathe. Any layperson would think the same as Hans. But deep down in his heart, he believed that Chloe's assistant had spoken the truth.

"This time, I trust Samuel, Hans. He convinced me that he doesn't want Chloe to target the wrong person and get into bigger trouble. And there's something else you need to know."

Hans raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"

"This is about Damian Dimitri," Edward replied with a hint of reluctance. It was clear that he didn't like mentioning his cousin's name.

"What else do you have to do with that damn kid, Ed? He's always been a thorn in your side."

Edward laughed for a moment. Hans knew very well that Edward and Damian had been at odds for a long time.

"I don't know how it started, but somehow Damian dared to approach my wife and work together to destroy me. Sounds intriguing, doesn't it?"

"Damn crazy!" Hans exclaimed loudly. "I've been telling you all along, why don't you just put him in jail? That guy really enjoys causing troubl

    Edward had just finished his morning shower. When he came out, he accidentally caught Chloe in the act of drinking something. Curious, he decided to ask right away."Are you feeling sick?"Chloe immediately turned around, her face showing a bit of nervousness. "No, I'm fine," she replied calmly, trying to act as nonchalant as possible.Edward narrowed his eyes, acting as if he wasn't quite sure about what he just heard. "Really? Then what were you drinking just now?"Chloe blinked once. "Me? Just now?" She then nodded. "Ah, it was a blood-boosting vitamin. I've been feeling dizzy since last night. Maybe that's what's been making me feel lethargic since yesterday.""If it's making you uncomfortable, I can take you to the doctor. Better than any unwanted things happening," Edward earnestly offered."No need," Chloe responded. "Just taking the medicine and getting enough rest should make my dizziness go away on its own."Edward simply nodded, then walked toward the walk-in closet, while

    For some reason, Chloe suddenly visited Edward's office this afternoon. Accompanied by Samuel, she arrived at the Quantum building and headed straight to her husband's workspace.However, unfortunately, when she entered the room, Chloe didn't find Edward there. According to the information she got from Ariana, her husband was currently leading a meeting and was expected to finish in thirty minutes.While waiting, Chloe decided to read some business books available in Edward's office. But after a few minutes engrossed in her reading, her gaze shifted to the laptop on the desk.Quickly, Chloe got up and approached the laptop. She turned it on and started searching for something."I need to find the documents that Quantum is working on for Emaar Properties. That project is of utmost importance right now."Continuing to inspect the data, Chloe finally found what she was looking for. She hurriedly went to her shopper bag on the guest table, took out a flash drive, and returned to Edward's

    Edward opened his eyes, glancing to the side, and found Chloe still peacefully asleep. Seeing his wife's beautiful face without makeup made Edward unconsciously smile.He observed her for quite a while, reaching out his right hand to gently caress her cheek and hair.To him, every part of Chloe's body was attractive. In fact, Edward considered himself extremely fortunate to be able to marry her, especially if he could win Chloe's heart completely.Honestly, he was once obsessed with having Chloe, driven by curiosity about why she adamantly rejected him. But gradually, Edward's feelings changed. He tried to learn to genuinely love her.However, now Edward had to face the bitter reality that the woman who was his wife had married him with ulterior motives. Instead of being worried, this revelation only fueled his determination to conquer and bind Chloe so that she could never escape from him.The matter of Chloe's birth mother, for example, Edward had even asked Hans to investigate and

    Edward walked wearily and slightly fatigued. He had just arrived home and was about to enter the bedroom. Glancing at the circular watch on his wrist, it showed seven o'clock in the evening. Today's workload had drained his energy and mind so much that he had to come home late.As he entered the room, Edward didn't find Chloe there. However, his hearing caught the sound of water splashing, indicating that his wife was currently busy in the bathroom.Sitting down at the dressing table, Edward began to take off his jacket and loosened the tie around his neck. As he was about to stand up, his eyes unintentionally caught a picture that caught his attention. He saw clearly on Chloe's phone screen that someone had just sent her a text message. And the problem was, Damian Dimitri's name was printed there. What on earth was that guy sending a text message to his wife for? What business did they have behind his back?Edward approached slowly, leaning forward and squinting one eye, trying to re

    "Today, Edward deliberately left work earlier than his usual schedule. Hurriedly, the tall and sturdy man accelerated his car above the average speed, cutting through the streets of London towards Alexander and Liliana's residence in Kensington.As known, Edward had a scheduled meeting with Aunt Sisilia. They had planned in advance to meet Chloe's biological mother at a certain place."So, what's Mrs. Patricia's address?" Edward asked as Sisilia got into his car."Apartment First Avenue. That's where the woman lives."Edward nodded. While driving, he continued to dig for more information. "Has Aunt known Mrs. Patricia for a long time? Or is there a blood relationship between you?""No..." Sisilia shook her head. "We accidentally met. We got to know each other and became close. Until I eventually found out that Patricia has been searching for her child's whereabouts, whether they were still in the orphanage or have been taken by their biological father.""I see," Edward acknowledged. "

    Patricia nodded."My relationship with Dylan, Chloe's father, was never approved by his parents from the beginning. Perhaps because I wasn't wealthy or noble like them. When Nathalie and Chloe were born, we were separated. I heard that both my children were even placed in an orphanage." Patricia recounted with teary eyes. It hurt so much to remember the past events that had befallen her small family. "I was even banished far outside London. Luckily, one of Mrs. Victoria's bodyguards showed compassion and spared my life, going against orders. He chose to set me free, but with the condition that I must not resurface, or my life would be taken as a consequence.""Oh my God!" Edward couldn't help but exclaim in frustration mixed with sadness upon hearing his mother-in-law's story."For years, I lived in Milan, Italy. Three years ago, I returned to London. I was struggling because I didn't have much money, and by chance, I met Sisilia." Patricia looked at Sisilia again, reaching for the wo

    "How's it going, Hans? Any progress on the investigation into Nathalie's case?"Early in the morning, Hans was already seen visiting Edward's office. He intentionally brought numerous investigation files to hand over to the man.For Hans, whether he had a lot or little information, Edward needed to be updated on the progress. So that they could later discuss and decide the next steps to uncover the mysteries that remained unsolved until now."I have searched Nathalie's apartment, checked the CCTV, and gathered data samples from the neighbors. I summarized everything in the turquoise-colored folder."Edward reached for the folder that Hans mentioned, carefully reading its contents and drawing a conclusion."Does that mean she had only recently moved into that apartment?"Hans nodded."According to the testimony of long-time residents, Nathalie had been living in that apartment for about eight months before her death. The rumors about her being close to a man were also confirmed by one

    Samuel got up from his seat, followed by Edward, who also stood and approached Samuel, extending his hand to shake his assistant's hand."Thank you very much, Sam. I hope everything can be resolved as we hoped for all this time. Truly, I want to have a normal relationship with Chloe."Once again, Samuel nodded in agreement. After all, he believed that Edward was the right person to accompany Chloe."Then, I'll take my leave. If there's any important information, I'll report it to you immediately."A few minutes after Samuel left Edward's office, Hans, who had been silently listening all this time, spoke."Ed, why didn't you tell Samuel about Chloe's birth mother being found?"Edward shook his head. "Not now, Hans. I think it's better to focus on solving Nathalie's case for the next few days. If everything is settled, then I'll tell Chloe about her mother being found."Hans nodded, understanding that Edward probably had carefully considered all the plans and possibilities.***Edward h

    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
