Michael's Mansion

Yonkers, New York, US. 4 AM

Claire didn't know how often a maid had come and asked her to enter the room. However, she ignored them all.

A gust of wind pierced her bones in the middle of the forest, making her shiver coldly. Her legs trembled from the cold, and even her lips started to turn blue because they couldn't bear the cold. However, she was still standing at the end of the back balcony of Michael's mansion, which was very wide, maybe even bigger than her apartment.

In her heart, she wondered when did Michael have a mansion as luxurious as this.

However, let alone thinking about the mansion, she didn't even know where Michael was after he had left her hours ago.

Michael left… he left because of her mistake. And now Claire stood in the middle of the night wind because she regretted her mistake.

Michael was her husband… and she shouldn't have turned him down. However, she had made a big mistake. And now she doesn't know what to do to bring Michael back to her.

    Michael's MansionManhattan, New York, US. 10 AMIt's been almost two weeks since their wedding. And… nothing happened.Claire didn't know how many times she had held back tears over breakfast with Michael in the morning. Or how many times she lowered her head to avoid looking at Michael at dinner. Or how many times she had stopped herself from following Michael into the guest room at night.Two weeks passed, but their relationship did not get better. They only got worse.Claire had forgotten the last time she heard Michael call her name or she called his name to get his attention.They get married and live in the same house but act like two strangers who don't know each other.On the fourth day, when they lived in Yonkers—Michael's mansion in the middle of the forest, she finally returned to Manhattan with Theo.Yes, Theo, not Michael. He just left without saying anything, so Theo was the one who took her home.On the way home, Claire had asked Theo where Michael was—which was diffic

    Leander's BaseVenice, Italy. 1 AMMikael looked at the reports on weapons shipments that had been made for the last three months.He has a lot of work to do after leaving Italy for just over a week. And his work was never finished because his mind was not focused on his work.Damn, it.Once again, his heart skipped a beat when he thought about Claire.It felt as if something worried him, but he didn't know why. An uneasy feeling that makes his mind uneasy, so he can't finish his work. Never mind work; even he started to feel his body tremble because of his unfounded worry.Damn, it. What happened to him?The sound of knocking on his room's door made Mikael curse inwardly—feeling annoyed and angry because the disturbances around him didn't end, so he couldn’t finish his work."What's wrong, Orlando?" Mikael asked."I have bad news, Mr Williams."Mikael raised his head when he heard Orlando's voice."Bad news?" He frowned.His heart had been beating fast since a few minutes ago, but he

    New York, US. 2 PMClaire took in a slow breath before exhaling slowly.Her heart was pounding when she saw a group of men dressed in black waiting for her at the end of the hospital corridor—among the ruins of buildings after the bombing.The hall is empty. There wasn't a single person there as if this place had been vacated beforehand—as if all of this had been planned.Her hands clenched tightly. In her heart, she tried to count the seconds that she passed—hoping that Theo would immediately enter the hospital and find her.Stupid. She shouldn't have asked Theo to wait outside.If only she had known all this was coming, then she would have allowed Theo to come with her. She knew that Michael had hired Theo as her bodyguard for a reason, even though she didn't know Michael's reason yet.And Michael…Where is he? Why… he wasn't here when Claire needed him the most?Thinking about Michael made her feel even sadder. The fear that filled her heart was no greater than her sadness for Mich

    Manhattan, New York, US. 17 Years AgoClaire glanced around with a frightened look.Dark. The room was so dark that it made her legs tremble with fear.She hates the dark. She is afraid of the dark."Can you turn on the light in this room?" Claire didn't know how many times she had asked the same thing, but still, no one gave an answer as if it further emphasized that she was alone in that dark room.Claire lowered her head—hiding her face behind her knees to lessen the fear. She hugged her own body to endure the chill that pierced her bonesIn her heart, she prayed that a miracle would bring her home. She didn't like this place. This dark room felt stuffy, which made her short of breath. Even now, she felt thirsty, but no one gave her a drink.She didn't know where she was. She didn't even know what had happened, so she had to be locked up in the room. It was dark and stuffy, but the floor was so cold that Claire shivered. Her body ached because a foreign man had hit her—tied her han

    Mikael’s Private Airport Venice, Italy. 2 AM "Mr. Williams, Theo reports the car that picked up Mrs. Claire was found exploded on the road," Orlando spoke quietly beside him as they walked towards the plane. Mikael's steps stopped when he heard that. He stared at his private plane in front of him, regretting that he was in Italy at a critical time like this. The overwhelming dread made it hard for him to breathe—it even made him lose his mind for a moment. His hands clenched tightly—almost to lose hope for the first time in his life. “Two male bodies were found there. However, the police did not find Mrs. Claire. We are still trying to find out where she is because the location around the car does not have CCTV." Mikael took a deep breath. "She's still alive," he muttered under his breath—expressing the hope that remained in his heart. “I hope so too.” Orlando nodded his head. “Mrs. Josephine Williams has been driven back to Manhattan. And now Mr. John wants to speak to you.”

    Michael's MansionManhattan, New York, US. 8 PMClaire stepped into the small door beside the main gate. The door is usually used for bodyguards who are on guard duty in front of the mansion's courtyard. However, tonight there was no one standing there.She could hear Anderson's car leaving her after driving her home.Claire stared at the car in silence.She didn't know how to behave in front of Anderson. It's all still very confusing—shocking. However, it was undeniable that she was pleased with Anderson's arrival."Mrs Claire?" A gatekeeper's eyes widened in surprise when Claire pressed a button beside the door—a button directly connected to the guardhouse inside the gate.Claire hugged herself from the cold. The night wind blew hard and made her shiver after getting out of Anderson's car."Could you open the door for me?"The bodyguard blinked, then as if realizing that Claire was waiting for him, he immediately nodded, then opened the door and bowed respectfully as Claire walked i

Moving slowly as if they had forgotten the argument a few minutes ago—touching each other, wanting each other, and needing each other.She had been through this before, and the fear in her heart forced her to stop. However, this time she did not want to stop. She allowed Michael to move past every boundary they had—touch her in surprising ways.Michael's lips moved from hers, now moving slowly to her neck—sucking gently and leaving traces there as if he wanted to give a mark of ownership over her body.Michael's fingers traveled across her bare stomach—circling her navel, then cupping her chest and squeezing it gently.Not staying still, Michael's lips slowly moved down—replacing his hands and giving kisses around her che

However, he still left the lamp burning brightly, filling the void in the room.Beside him—or rather in his arms, Claire was falling asleep. Her eyes closed while her hands hugged Mikael's waist tightly as if she was afraid he would disappear when she slept.Shit.Mikael cursed inside his heart when he realized what he had done to Claire.The chaos in this room was caused by him—by his unstoppable passion when he felt a soft kiss on Claire's lips. In fact, he still can't stop even though he has gone through one of the greatest climaxes in the history of sex for the rest of his life.Stupid.

    Mikael’s Mansion.Yonkers, New York, US. A few months later.Mikael gazed at the sprawling grounds of his mansion, which had begun to bloom with flowers, with butterflies fluttering freely.Claire had started planting flowers in their mansion’s yard two weeks ago, and the blossoms were beginning to bloom in the spring, transforming the once-dreary mansion into something beautiful.Mikael had been away from that building for nearly six years. Even though there were still servants cleaning and maintaining the place every day, it had felt gloomy when they first moved in a few months ago.However, Claire only took a few days to make significant changes to the mansion. Cecilia's laughter echoed in every corner, bringing a new light that Mikael had never imagined before. Claire had begun to do her part—adding magical touches that his mind struggled to comprehend, but his heart could feel.And now, as spring had arrived, everything was starting to grow lushly—especially Mikael's heart, which

Her hands moved to push the man away—the only person allowed to do such a thing to her.“Mike,” she groaned irritably.“Are you going to keep hiding under the blankets until the afternoon?” Mikael chuckled and continued showering her with cold kisses along her neck and face.Claire opened her eyes and pouted. When she turned her head, she didn’t find Cecilia there and concluded that she had woken up late, meaning Cecilia was already awake.“Get away from me!” she said while pushing Mikael away, even though she knew her refusal was futile.“Do you really want me to go?” Mikael raised his eyebrows.Claire rolled her eyes as she noticed the drastic change in their interactions.She had known Mikael her entire life, but she felt unprepared for all of this. Waking up to see Mikael’s handsome face in

    Mikael’s ApartmentManhattan, New York, US. 1 AMOnce again, Claire woke up with soreness between her thighs, and the memories of what she’d done replayed in her mind. Her eyes weren’t fully open yet, but she knew it was still nighttime—the sun hadn’t risen, unlike a few days ago when she awoke.A large, warm hand wrapped around her waist tightly, keeping her from falling off the sofa in the living room. A thick blanket covered her bare body, and she knew that the man behind her was also still undressed, even though he was awake.She could feel the gentle strokes along her back and steady breaths against her neck. The man hadn’t said a word, but Claire knew he was awake, or at least hadn’t slept since she had immediately closed her eyes after their last... game, however many hours ago.She had been right to worry—she’d lose control again if she let Mikael talk to her at night. And yes, she had lost control once more.There was no denying that she missed every touch from this man. Ther

    Mikael’s ApartmentManhattan, New York, US. 9 PMSnow once again blanketed the streets of New York, which were adorned with Christmas lights and bustling with pedestrians going about their activities. Some chose to step aside, seeking warmth from the cold, while others continued to stroll, enjoying the frozen snowflakes falling around them.Amid the hustle of New York, Mikael opted to sit in the main room of his apartment with two mugs of hot chocolate—one for him and one for Claire.The cool air from the balcony door, which wasn’t fully closed, made the room feel cold—typical of the chilly end-of-year weather.Mikael had endured many terrible years, but it seemed he would close this one with a sweet gift—Cecilia.“This is the best year-end I’ve ever had,” Mikael smiled.Sometimes, he forgot the last time he had smiled, but in the past few days, he had lost count of how many times he’d smiled because it happened so often.“Good for you,” Claire responded flatly.Sometimes, Mikael wond

    Michael’s GraveManhattan, New York, US. 9 AMClaire stepped forward, clutching a bouquet of white roses she had bought just before arriving at... her destination.“Mom,” Cecilia reached for her hand, prompting Claire to turn and offer a brief smile to the little girl.“That’s okay, Cecilia.” Mikael crouched in front of Cecilia and lifted her into his arms when he noticed she felt scared.Claire had never taken Cecilia to a cemetery before, but Cecilia had seen graves on television, and it always piqued her curiosity.Cecilia didn’t have anyone to visit in Canada, so she never went to a cemetery. But now, she was in New York, and… she felt like she had to visit one of the graves she missed the most—Michael’s grave.“Daddy, I’m scared,” Cecilia said quietly, hiding her face against Mikael’s chest.“Aren’t you here with Daddy and Mommy?” Mikael kissed her hair softly, “You don’t need to be scared, right?”“Yes, Daddy.” Cecilia nodded but kept hiding her face, making Mikael chuckle affec

The end of the year is approaching, but she feels she still can’t leave this year behind—a year that has brought her many surprises and… happiness.She is living in Mikael’s apartment.They sleep together in the same room, on the same bed, and under the same blanket. However, nothing happens between them except… sleep, in the literal meaning.It’s not that Claire wants anything else. Honestly, she still can’t believe what she did with Mikael on the nights following the moment she killed Anderson with a gun in her hand.That night, she was completely unhinged and couldn’t think clearly. Everything she discussed with Mikael drove her further into madness, and they ended that madness in an even crazier way. However, she would try to control herself not to do that again… at least until she was truly sure about her decisions and what she wanted to do next.Now, she lives with Mik

    Williams MansionManhattan, New York, US. 1 PM“Oh my God,” Josephine Williams gasped, covering her mouth in surprise when she saw Claire standing at the mansion door.“Mom,” Claire gave a brief smile and reached out to hug her.They had met briefly yesterday, but that encounter meant nothing to either Josephine or Claire. At the time, everything was chaotic, and Claire’s only concern had been calming Cecilia, who was crying hysterically out of fear.“My dear,” Josephine sighed as she hugged Claire, “I’ve been waiting for word from you since last night.”“Sorry to make you worry, Mom. I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me.”“I know you’re fine,” Josephine released the hug and cupped Claire’s face, looking at her closely. “I just needed to hear from you. It’s the only thing that could ease my mind.”Claire smiled and nodded. Years had passed since her childhood, but Josephine still saw her as a little princess she would always worry about. Claire hadn’t understood Josephine’s mind

    Mikael’s Mansion Manhattan, New York, US. 10 AM “Do you like these eggs, Cecilia?” “Can I have more?” “You want more?” “I want! I want!” “Sure, Princess! You’ll have mine, and I’ll make another one for you.” Claire blinked as the voices broke through her sleep. She opened her eyes for a few seconds, but the pull of sleep soon coaxed them shut again. Sunlight poured through the large windows at the center of the room, illuminating the sofa that faced the balcony. Despite it being late in the year, the day was bright enough for the midday sun to break through and gently warm Claire’s still-closed eyelids. She stretched, feeling a familiar ache from yesterday morning—the same kind of soreness she used to experience years ago. As much as she wanted to forget what had happened last night, Claire couldn’t deny that when she closed her eyes, all she could think about was the way Mikael had kissed her, letting his hands roam her body—touching her with tenderness and passion. “Daddy,

    Mikael’s ApartmentManhattan, New York, US. 4 AMMikael still couldn’t believe what had just happened.Yes, it was hard for him to truly accept that, at this moment, he was lying next to Claire, who was curled up, shivering under his arm. Her eyes were closed while her body, from her waist down to her feet, was covered by the thick blanket he had given her after they had finished their long, wild sex.Claire’s confession had made Mikael lose control. He didn’t know how else to express the madness in his heart but through a kiss, a reflex to Claire’s long confession. However, that kiss had only ignited a fire within him, pulling him back into the burning circle.And the more surprising thing was... Claire accepted his touch.Mikael leaned down to kiss Claire’s shoulder and whatever else his lips could reach—her head, her forehead, and the nape of her neck, which was covered by strands of her red hair.Claire had stopped coloring her hair since Mikael wasn’t sure when.
