This weekend, Claire took Alex to the hospital to see her mother."My mom will be so happy to see us," Claire said as she walked into the hospital, holding Alex's arm.Alex smiled and nodded his head. "Yes. I'm sure she misses her only son-in-law a lot too." Alex's joke made Claire laugh. Just then, they ran into an administrator named Stella. Stella looked surprised to see Alex with Claire.Back then, Claire had asked Stella about the man who had paid her mother's hospital bill. But Stella couldn't answer, and now Stella saw that man standing next to Claire."Sir..." just as Stella was about to speak, Alex suddenly signaled with his eyes for silence.Understanding Alex's gesture, Stella slowly nodded, then looked down and walked past them as if she had never seen Alex before.Claire's forehead wrinkled at Stella's departure, however. Then her eyes looked at Alex with a curious expression."Why does that administrator seem to want to greet you?""What's wrong, Claire? Are you jealo
Nancy? This name Alex would remember in his mind as the one who tried to cause trouble for his wife. Alex's blood immediately boiled over. His grip on Tom's shirt collar tightened even more, leaving Tom almost out of breath, but finally Alex released his grip with a rough motion.He took Claire's unconscious body into his arms.As he held Claire, Alex growled angrily and said. "I'm not going to kill you, but there is one condition..."***At the Graham home.Nancy laughed at the many bills she had spread out on the living room table.Alice was smiling too. There was an irresistible gleam of joy in her eyes."Mom, so you sold Claire to a mob boss?" asked Alice, looking both happy and surprised.Clutching the money to her chest, Nancy nodded. "That's right, dear.""But why did you do it?""Our company is unstable after many investors withdrew their cooperation with us. We need money to save the company. Isn't this the most appropriate way?"Alice nodded her head, then smiled. It was tr
Alice had just come out of a fancy shopping mall.She carried several bags of groceries."It wasn't for nothing that Mom sold the garbage woman to the Mafia boss. Now I can buy lots of clothes, bags and jewelry from top brands. Turns out Claire is quite useful too," Alice muttered as she entered the basement of the mall with a smile on her face.However, she was surprised, when two men suddenly smothered her mouth from behind and dragged her into the car.Alice sat in the back seat with her hands tied behind her back with a rope. "Who are you guys? Let go of my hands! If you don't, I'll scream!" Alice threatened.The two people who had kidnapped her earlier were Tom and Brian."Just scream. No one will hear you," grinned Tom, who was sitting next to Alice.Brian, who was at the wheel, chimed in. "You better shut up, bitch! Just sit tight, and we won't hurt you.”Alice's eyes widened when someone dared to call her a bitch.But she could not escape as the car drove away from the mall a
"Throw this bitch away like garbage!" Derek dragged Alice's body to the floor and then ordered Brian and Tom to drag Alice out of his hotel room.After enjoying Alice's body, Derek grinned broadly and sat back on the sofa, sipping his drink.Meanwhile, Alice was crying softly while wearing a tattered dress.Her hair was a mess, as was the thick makeup that had melted on her face. Lipstick had run down her chin and cheeks.Alice already looked like a creepy clown, or rather a madwoman."I have to send a picture of you to my boss," Derek said as he took a picture of Alice's tearful appearance and sent it to Alex.Yes, Derek considered Alex to be his boss now. He didn't want to die stupidly at Alex's hands or have his business destroyed, so Derek was willing to obey any orders from the figure of Mr. Knight.After sending a picture of Alice to Alex, Derek waved his hand in front of his face and ordered Tom and Brian to take Alice away imm
Claire returned home with Alex.Claire had just finished showering this morning. Her smooth white body was wrapped only in a towel that stretched from her chest to her thighs.Meanwhile, her wet hair was loose and dripping with water, even though it had been scrubbed with a small towel before."Where's Alex? Did he go out? But where would he be this early in the morning?" Claire's brow furrowed when she didn't see her husband."Ouch, my acid reflux is starting up again. I need to eat breakfast first," Claire said, touching her stomach.Sure that Alex was out, Claire decided to leave the room wearing only a white towel.Her feet went into the kitchen. She made a few slices of marmalade bread, then devoured one of them."I think it would be better with tea." Claire made tea for herself and Alex.But she couldn't find a single tray in the kitchen. So Claire had to hold the two cups of tea with both hands.However, Claire's steps came to an abrupt halt when the edge of the towel on her ch
"What are you doing here? Picking out a house?" asked Alice with mockery in her tone. "Whatever we're doing, we don't have to tell you," Alex replied coldly, making the smile on Alice's face disappear in an instant.The look on Noah's face was clouded. He obviously didn't like his girlfriend being treated so coldly."Miss Claire and Mr. Alex are choosing the house they're going to buy. Would Mr. and Miss like to take a look at the houses that are still available in Luxury Hills?" the female officer replied to Noah and Alice in a friendly manner.A mocking smile played on their lips when they learned that Alex and Claire wanted to buy a house in Luxury Hills."I'm sorry, but as far as I know, houses in Luxury Hills are very expensive. Don't you think they might come up empty-handed?" Noah's eyes looked at Alex.And Alex returned them with a glare."Just leave them alone," Claire whispered. Before her husband could get angry, she quickly rubbed Alex's arm and soothed his anger."Mr. Al
"Mr. Joe, how can you decide for them to live in an exclusive unit when Alex hasn't even paid for the house?" Noah, feeling unacceptable, finally spoke up.Claire was also surprised by Joe's decision. However, she thought that maybe her husband's boss is actually a wealthy person who allowed them to live in an exclusive unit in Luxury Hills.Besides, Alex said, his boss is the owner of that elite housing."They don't have to pay. They can live in any unit they want in Luxury Hills," Joe replied.Noah narrowed his eyes. He shook his head slowly.Meanwhile, Alice's lips parted. Her hand squeezed the hem of her skirt. A look of envy was clearly reflected in her eyes. How could Claire, who had married a poor man, now officially live in Luxury Hills?"I have one more thing to say." Alex said as he crossed one leg over the other. His eyes looked directly at Joe. Then Alex pointed his finger at Noah and Alice."These two have been trying to make a scene here. They're being very disruptive. I
"Is she your first love?" asked Claire. A pang of jealousy entered her heart.Alex shook his head. "No.""Is she your happiest ex that you still can't forget?""Not really.""Is she a close friend of yours?"Alex shook his head again. "No.""Then who is she?" Claire's brow furrowed in curiosity."My grandmother," Alex replied.Claire was instantly stunned, while Alex laughed amusedly at his wife's annoyed face."You are! Why didn't you tell me earlier that the person you wanted me to meet was your grandmother? Why did you have to call her your favorite woman to upset me?"Alex laughed and pulled Claire closer to his body until the woman's head rested on Alex's chest. Alex ran his fingers through his wife's hair."Why is that? My grandmother is the woman I love the most in this world, next to you. Since my parents died, my grandmother and grandfather have taken care of me.""Where did your grandmother live?""In Germany.""And when is your grandmother coming to New York?" Claire asked.
"Excuse me, miss. Here's your complimentary wine." Alice was surprised when a waitress came over to her table and placed 3 bottles of wine in front of her."Is this all for me?" asked Alice, pointing at herself.Rachel was also stunned. Because the price of wine in this bar is very expensive. Because the wine they served was the best.After getting the answer from the waitress, Alice smiled with a surprised face."Alice, it seems that the boss of this bar is here, and he is watching you. That's why he's giving you free wine." Rachel's words made both corners of Alice's lips smile."But I didn't see the man watching me." Alice's eyes wandered."Maybe he's hiding somewhere. To hell with that. We should just have a drink. This is the best wine. You have to share it with me!" Rachel poured the wine from the bottle into a glass.Alice nodded in agreement and drank it with Rachel.Unbeknownst to them, Alex and James were watching in silence. A satisfied smile appeared on Alex's lips."Mr. K
