"Really, I don't know who the woman you're referring to is․ But the night we met at the restaurant, I was helping a female employee who works at Golden Era, but I really don't have any relationship with that woman other than just boss and employee․ Please believe me, Claire"Claire was silent looking at her husband's face․ Deep down she still felt that the woman was trying to create a misunderstanding between her and her husband․"I've been looking for you for a long time. The day I heard from grandma and grandpa that you didn't want to see me, I felt like my world was shattered. I've been looking for you everywhere. I thought forever I would never see you and our future baby again. But finally Vincent was able to help me get information about your whereabouts, so I could see you again." Alex took Claire's hand and kissed the back of her hand.Claire's heart was truly touched by every word and the warm look in Alex's eyes.Although in her small heart Claire felt disappointed because
Claire had just gotten off the taxi that stopped in front of the lobby of Golden Era Enterprise, Alex's company.Carrying her lunch, Claire stepped casually into the company.“Excuse me, Mrs. Knight. Would you like to see Mr. Knight?” asked Vita-a receptionist at the office-to Claire.Most of the people in Golden Era knew that Claire was the wife of their boss.“Yes, I would like to see Mr. Knight. He's in his room, right?”Vita nodded. “Mr. Knight is in a meeting. But you can wait in his room,” Vita said as she smiled kindly at Claire.Hearing that, Claire smiled and immediately stepped into the elevator after she thanked Vita.Claire entered the elevator that would take her to the floor where the CEO's room was located.When the elevator stopped, Claire got out and walked towards the CEO's room.But a slender woman suddenly prevented Claire as she was about to enter her husband's room.“Sorry, ma'am. You can't come in!” said the woman who was none other than Chloe-a new employee who
“You had a meeting. I know it must be very tiring today.” Claire walked over to Alex's desk. Alex had already sat behind his desk and rested his back against the back of the chair.While Claire stood opposite him.“So why did you come to the office, dear?” Instead of answering Claire's words just now, Alex changed the subject and threw a question that he had previously asked his wife.Claire exhaled softly.“Alex, I am your wife. So I can come to the office to see my husband. I cooked a special meal for you,” Claire said, as she placed the tray of food she had brought onto Alex's desk.It raised one of Alex's eyebrows, but then his lips broke into a smile. “Claire, you shouldn't have to do this. But, thank you very much.” Alex's face lit up as he accepted the box of food from his wife.“Today I deliberately brought lunch for my husband. You should know that I cooked it with love, and for sure... it will taste much better than the food in a five-star restaurant,” Claire said with a swe
At lunchtime inside the CEO's office, Alex and Claire were already sitting side by side on the long sofa located in the corner of the room.In front of them was what appeared to be a delicious meal. There were also two glasses of water.“Hurry up and eat, dear! You won't be full if you just stare at the food,” Alex said to Claire who was just quietly watching the food in front of her.Meanwhile, Alex himself had already devoured his food.While Claire was chewing with a mouth full of food, Alex secretly glanced at Claire, then the corner of his lips pulled up, showing a smile.Alex was actually very happy to be having lunch at the office with his wife.“Tomorrow night my coworker is getting engaged. He's invited us to the event.” Alex said as there was only half of the food on his plate left.“What time is it?” Claire asked while glancing at Alex with her mouth full.“Seven o'clock at night,” Alex replied.Hearing that, Claire nodded her head. Meanwhile, Alex returned his attention to
Shannon, who saw the surprised look on Claire's face, smiled. “The model is like that, ma'am. It's called a lingeri dress. And the panties are deliberately left with holes in them to make it easier for my husband to fight,” Shannon replied.When Claire heard that, her brain immediately started traveling. She imagined how she would wear the lingeri in front of Alex and he would stare at her with a passionate gaze.But then, Claire immediately shook her head. Trying to dismiss all her insane thoughts.“Not so! That's enough! I don't want to see it anymore!” Claire quickly lowered the mannequin's skirt so that she could no longer see the mannequin's panties with a hole in the middle. It was unimaginable that Claire was wearing those panties.“You don't want to see the top too, ma'am?” asked Shannon.“What's wrong with the top?” asked Claire, her face looking innocent.Earlier Claire had said she didn't want to see the nightgown anymore. But now she asked Shannon.“There's also a hole in
If only Claire knew that Shannon had put the lingerie in a papper bag, Claire would have prevented it.But now everything was already done.“It won't be possible to sell this lingeri back to that store either, right? So... never mind. Who knows if this will be used by someone,” Claire said, putting the lingeri back into the cupboard and closing the cupboard tightly.Claire lay on the bed shuddering in horror as she imagined herself wearing the lingerie in front of Alex.Meanwhile, inside the study in his house, Alex put his wallet and cell phone on the desk.It turned out to be a little tiring after walking around the mall after returning from work.Removing the suit and tie that had been strangling his neck, Alex could breathe a little easier. Then he opened his wallet to throw the receipt into the trash.However, just as he was about to throw the receipt away, Alex's movement was halted when his eyes noticed something st
After wiping the chocolate jam on Claire's lips, Alex was even tempted by the woman's luscious lips. But of course, Alex immediately shook off his wild thoughts and sat back upright in his chair.Given that they were currently in a public space, Alex couldn't possibly kiss Claire carelessly.“Thank you,” Claire said. Her face flushed.“You're welcome, dear,” Alex replied. He straightened his slightly rumpled suit and chose to look the other way.Gwen came over to Alex and tapped him lightly on the shoulder. Gwen seemed to be inviting Alex to have a one-on-one chat.“Claire! Can I borrow your husband for a moment? Don't worry, I'll return him to you in one piece!” Gwen asked Claire for permission while interspersed with jokes.Claire smiled, nodding her head. “Sure, go ahead.”Afterward, Gwen and Alex left leaving Claire alone sitting behind the banquet table.Claire smacked her li
After returning from the party, Claire decided to take a shower.After the shower, Claire turned off the shower and was about to grab a towel. But then Claire was surprised when there wasn't a single towel in the bathroom.“Where are the towels? I remember there were some towels hanging here!” Claire muttered in panic.Then she bit her lower lip. Claire was confused because at the moment her body was naked and not covered by anything.While there was not a single towel that she could use to cover her body in front of Alex.Of course Claire had to get out of this bathroom if she wanted to put on her clothes that were in the closet.“There's no other way, I have to ask Alex for help,” Claire muttered.Now Claire stood by the bathroom door, slowly opening it just enough to allow her to speak to Alex.Yes! Claire was sure Alex was still in the room.Claire's guess was right. He was indeed still there, sitting on the edge of the bed and waiting for her while playing with his cell phone.Al
Alex grasped Claire's hand tightly. "She just worked with Tristan. Tristan is already in jail. Now it's Alice and her mother's turn to rot in prison. They seemed very happy after Alice signed the letter transferring the ownership of my company. Our plan worked. So happy, they didn't suspect that it was just a fake letter to trap them," Alex said, then hugged Sandra's body from the side while giving her arm a stroke.Before this, Claire had listened to many explanations from Alex. About Alex who had never touched the fake Claire during the time the real Claire disappeared from his life.Claire was relieved that her husband hadn't spent a single night with another woman. Likewise, Alex is happy that his original Claire has returned.Even though Alex had yet to reunite Claire with their two children.“Just arrest her now!” Alex ordered the two policemen standing in front of him.“Yes, sir.”The policemen nodded and hurri
“Honey, I'm home!” Alice stepped into the house carrying a lot of papper bags filled with the luxurious things she had just bought.She even ignored Alex's children who were eagerly approaching her. Valen walked quickly over to Alice to show her the results of her drawing at school that got a 100.Until the girl pouted and sat on the sofa hugging her drawing book and watching Alice unpacking."You're finally home. I've been waiting for you." Alex came down the stairs still wearing his work suit.Alice turned around with a smile. "Look dear! I bought some nice shirts for you earlier. Oh yes, today I bought more jewelry and branded bags for my collection. Actually, there are many more purchases placed in the trunk. But they're being taken away by the waiters. Do you think I'd look good with this bag?" Alice said and took one of the Gucci brand bags and showed it to Alex."Good. You match the bag. You didn't buy any toys or stuff for the k
Claire was startled, looking quickly at Tristan. Then she quickly shook her head. "No, it's not. My name is not Wilona. I'm not his girlfriend either. He lied. My name is Clai-"“Wilona!” snapped Tristan with a tightened jaw. His intonation was full of emphasis, which surprised Claire.Claire recalled Tristan's threat to kill her biological mother if she dared to confront him at the airport.“Can we see your boyfriend's face?” the policeman asked again.“What for? Or let us see his passport.”"What's your purpose? We're in a hurry to fly to Australia. You can prevent us from leaving. Besides, there's no requirement that we show you our passports at the airport," Tristan firmly refused.His arms tightened around Claire from the side.Claire's heart began to fret.On the other hand, she felt worried about her mother. However, when else could she escape with this golden opportunity?"Very
Claire brushed him off, then spat in Tristan's face, making him jump in surprise as he closed his eyes.Tristan's right hand was clenched tightly on the steering wheel. It wasn't that he wanted to punch Claire in return, but he was annoyed that she hadn't conquered him yet."Just watch! I'll report you to the police!""Keep your plans to yourself. The police won't help you either. They won't believe you if you claim to have been kidnapped and claim to be Mrs. Knight. Because the fact is, everyone knows that Mrs. Knight is still by Alex's side."Claire was stunned by Tristan's words. “So it's true, there's a woman claiming to be me and she's staying with Alex?”Tristan replied with a lopsided smile.“That's your plan, right, Tristan?”"Yes, dear. It was all I could do not to lose you," Tristan replied, grinning.Claire's heart felt like it was being broken into pieces. It was devastating to think of her h
"Lately, Claire has been shopping for fancy clothes and bags. I don't forbid it, but this is very strange. Usually Claire doesn't care about how expensive the bags and clothes she wears are. She's never been crazy about luxury goods. I don't know why I feel that Claire's character is changing day by day," Alex muttered, scratching his forehead that wasn't itchy.Rubbing his face, Alex exhaled softly.Then a knock on the door distracted him.“Come in!”The door creaked open. Vincent came in with a slow exhale, his expression one of weariness."Sorry, Mr. Knight. There was a bit of a commotion on the seventh floor," Vincent said, informing him."What's the commotion? Why not have security take care of it? Why did you come to my office? Did you think I wasn't busy?!" Alex scowled."I apologize again. The thing is, this commotion was created by Mrs. Knight."“Claire?!” Alex chuckled at that.What was
"Don't cry! I believe you," Alex said, softening his voice.Alice seized the moment to take things further.Her hands slowly moved down Alex's broad chest under the brown pajamas. Then Alice's fingers were about to unbutton Alex's pajamas one by one.The top three buttons were undone. Alice's eyes widened with pleasure at the sight of the firm chest on which she would rest her head after sex.However, Alice's reverie was interrupted when Alex suddenly grabbed both her hands and pulled them away from her body."Why Alex? Why don't you want me to touch you?" Alice asked disappointedly."Don't do that yet, Claire. I'm not feeling very good tonight. Next time," Alex said as he touched Alice's pouting cheeks.“But...” Alice was getting bolder and bolder with the buttons of Alex's shirt.But the naughty hand movement was immediately restrained by Alex. "Sorry, dear. I can't yet. Now go to bed first," Alex concluded as she
Alex and his family had just returned from a vacation in Paris.There were some oddities about his wife while they were enjoying their vacation.One of them was his wife's complete disregard for Valen when the boy was pensive alone in their hotel room.Yes! Valen was mostly pensive in the hotel. While his wife was busy playing with her cell phone and checking her groceries.Alex was astonished. Usually his wife was the least likely to let Valen or their youngest son be pensive alone, let alone with a sad face."You can finally sleep in your room again, Valen. Are you happy?" Alex walked into her daughter's room.Tonight Valen had changed into her favorite hellokitty print pajamas.Alex had also dressed up in brown striped pajamas with short sleeves."Yes, Dad. I'm glad to be home again." Valen replied, smiling with his toothless teeth.Alex smiled broadly, sitting on the edge of the bed as he gently rubbed Valen's arm.
"I've been in this house for quite some time. I haven't even met my children and husband yet. You must have seen the news wrong. Alex and I have never taken a vacation to Paris with our child," Claire said, shaking her head slowly.Hearing Claire's confession, Lenny was shocked.Claire said she's been in this house for a long time? Then, who is the woman with Alex right now?"I was kidnapped. I was in Tristan's house for almost a month. Tristan is a man obsessed with me, he locked me up, forbid me to see my family. Help me, Lenny, I want to see my husband. By now Alex and our two children must be looking for me. They're probably worried about me." Both of Claire's hands held Lenny's.Claire's words this time made Lenny even more stunned. His mouth was hanging open as he could not believe Claire's statement."But Mrs. Knight. I don't think your husband and son are worried about you.""What?! How could you come to such a conclusion?" Claire lo
With all her might, Claire tried to scream. Hoping that her husband would hear and recognize her voice.Unfortunately, Alex's car was already too far away.Claire's tears broke out. Her body suddenly went limp. If only she could make eye contact with Alex, surely he wouldn't think twice about saving her."Mr. Tristan knows you tried to run away from home. He is very angry and waiting for you. Obey us, and we won't hurt you," threatened one of the bodyguards as he instructed the driver to drive the car back to Tristan's house.Upon arriving at Tristan's residence, Claire, who was already weak, let the two bodyguards hold her hand and entered the living room.There, Claire's eyes immediately met with Tristan's eyes that were filled with anger.The man's gaze looked sharply at her, as if he wanted to pounce on her.Claire gave up, she didn't care if Tristan wanted to kill her right now.Clenching his fists firmly, Tristan walked d
