"The fish is burnt," Alex commented as Claire served the charred fried fish on the dining room table.

After they finished their fun in the kitchen, they cleaned up in the bathroom for half an hour, then when they returned to the kitchen, Claire gasped when she realized the fried fish was burnt.

A charred smell filled the entire kitchen.

"You see, right, Alex? I told you not to tease me while I'm cooking." Claire's lips pursed.

She looked adorable when she pouted, which made Alex happy to see her.

"I was. Don't pout! Seeing your lips pursed like that, I can't wait to kiss you again."

Immediately, Claire stopped pursing her lips. "Don't even try. Right now my stomach is hungrier than what's under your stomach. If you don't find a solution, we'll eat this burnt fried fish for dinner."

Alex almost burst out laughing at his wife's ramblings.

Unexpectedly, it turns out that behind her gentle and caring nature, Claire can also sulk.

Her puckered lips were actually endearing to Alex.

    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.

    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
