After booking the hotel room, Noah put his arm around Alice and walked towards the elevator. Meanwhile, the hotel concierge had already brought the suitcases to their room.However, their steps stopped when they saw Alex and Claire walking towards the elevator.“It's Alex and Clare! Noah, remember! Claire is in danger. We can't just do nothing. Alex will definitely take Claire to meet the rich man who bought her.” Alice clasped Noah's arm.Noah nodded. “Yes, come on, we have to save Claire.”They both stepped into the same elevator used by Claire and Alex.Of course Alex and Claire immediately put on surprised faces when they saw Alice and Noah joining them in the elevator.“You guys?” squealed Alex, surprised to see them in the hotel.Then Alex remembered that Claire had looked upset after he left her in the hotel lobby.“Did Noah and Alice come back to bother my wife when I left her for a while?” Alex wondered.Noah smiled wryly at Alex. The two men stood side by side, as if intimid
“Shit! How could Claire trust Alex! She doesn't know that Alex isn't a good guy.” After Alex's hotel room, Noah and Alice now entered the hotel room they had rented.Alice chuckled to herself as she surveyed the room. Which was far compared to the hotel room rented by Claire.In fact, it was three times as spacious as Claire's hotel room.However, hearing Noah's grumbling, made Alice smile wickedly. She was happy that she managed to make Noah fall for her lie.“Claire is so stupid. She should have had more faith in me who's been with her for years,” Noah continued.Alice's hand wrapped around Noah's arm and rubbed his chest to calm him down. “Calm down. We tried to tell Claire. I didn't expect her not to believe our good intentions either.”“Claire should be smart, like you. When will she see your kindness, Alice?” Noah held both of Alice's shoulders. Making their bodies face to face.Alice smiled a little. “I don't think Claire will ever be able to see my kindness because all she has
Even though Claire had lowered her voice, her mother could hear Claire's whisper to Alex.“Has Alex started flirting with you already? Okay, I understand. Please continue with your activities. I love you. Bye.”The phone was disconnected. Claire immediately turned her body and looked at Alex with a glare while folding her hands in front of her chest.However, her wife's expression made Alex hold back his amusement. “Why do you have that expression? When you're annoyed with me, don't purse your lips. Because it makes me unable to resist kissing you.”Hearing that, Claire stopped smacking her lips. “Alex, don't tease me when I'm on the phone. Especially when I'm on the phone with Mom.”“Why is that?”“You'll think the wrong thing about us,” Claire said, smacking her lips again.This time Alex laughed. He was so excited that his eyes narrowed like crescent moons.“We're already married. We are free to do anything together. We can do kites, somersaults, somersaults, no one will stop us. B
With small steps, Claire approached the shoreline and let her feet get wet.A smile spread across her face when she saw some people busy playing in the water and swimming. Some were sunbathing and drinking.“Why are you alone? Where's your husband?” Claire was surprised to hear a familiar voice asking her from behind.She turned around and let out a tired breath as she saw Noah approaching her.“None of your business,” Claire said. Then she held up her hands. “You'd better take care of that spoiled, manipulative woman of yours before she comes and troubles me!”“Why do you never like Alice? Are you jealous that I chose Alice over you?”“Jealous?” Claire chuckled, shaking her head.Finding Noah's words amusing.“If you're not jealous, then why do you hate Alice so much? Just so you know, Claire. I prefer Alice because she's a good woman, she's gentle, and her love is very sincere.”“Oh yeah? Then marry her immediately. You're very compatible with her,” Claire quipped.Noah nodded quick
Claire was dumbfounded, then her eyes glanced at Alice who wore a satisfied smile.Claire shook her head. "I didn't steal! I don't even know how your bracelet ended up in my pocket.""Then you're saying that my bracelet would walk on its own and fit into your pocket? Is that it? Don't beat around the bush! The evidence is clear that you stole my bracelet!" Grace snapped loudly. Grabbing the bracelet from Claire's hand, she pushed Claire's shoulder.Noah was flabbergasted, his eyes narrowed as he stared at Claire, his mind unable to comprehend that Claire would do such a low thing in a foreign country.Meanwhile, Alice laughed contentedly to herself while holding her hands in her lap, watching the exciting show in front of her, where Claire was being judged and had her face splashed with water by Grace.“How does it feel to be judged and humiliated in public, Claire? That's exactly what you deserve.” Alice said in her heart."Claire, I didn't expect you to steal other people's valuable
“Claire, I'm sorry that I came late to make them hurt you like this.” Alex brought Claire to sit on an empty chair that was still near the hotel.Alex felt guilty looking at Claire's hair that was still wet from being splashed by Grace.Alex's hand gently rubbed his wife's hand which had been firmly restrained by security."It's okay. Thank you for helping me. But you really believe that I didn't steal, right?"Alex smiled a little, nodding his head. "Of course. My wife is a good woman. I trust you more than I trust myself."Claire returned the smile when Alex's finger lifted a strand of her long hair and tucked it behind her ear."But how can you have that much money? Sorry, you're just a construction worker and you haven't been working for long. I don't think it's possible for you to accumulate that much money from your salary," Claire asked, her eyebrows furrowed as she looked at Alex.Meanwhile, the one being stared at was now stunned into silence. Alex was at a loss as to what to
"Claire, I apologize to you. I was actually the one who took the diamond bracelet from that woman's bag, then put it in your skirt pocket to humiliate you. Please forgive me!" that's what Alice said in the video recording.Smiling broadly, Grace immediately saved the video, then slapped Alice very hard across the face.“I did what you told me to do, why are you still slapping me?” asked Alice, protesting while holding her own cheeks.Her eyes stared intently at Grace.“It's payback for you daring to accuse Claire.”A second slap landed on Alice's cheek. “That's for your impudence in taking my bracelet!”Grace capped off her bullying by pouring a cup of coffee water on Alice's face until her face, hair and shirt front were wet and dirty.“Now I consider everything even, Alice. I hope next time you'll think before bothering Claire. Or you'll be forcibly kicked out of this hotel!” Grace said with a lopsided smile, then she hooked her bag on her arm and walked away leaving Alice stunned.
“I didn't see you when I woke up, so I looked for you here,” Claire replied.Vincent stood up and smiled awkwardly at Claire's probing gaze.“Hi, Miss Claire. How are you?”“Mr. Vincent, you're in Australia too? It's good to see you. But, why didn't Alex tell me that his boss is also in the same country as us?”Instead of answering Vincent's greeting, Claire asked a question that made both men's bodies stiffen.Alex lightly ruffled his hair, then rubbed the back of his neck.It seemed like Claire's suspicions would grow even more after seeing his company with Vincent.“Actually, I just arrived in Australia yesterday, and I'm also staying at the same hotel as you guys,” Vincent said, trying to package his lie to make Claire believe him.“Is that so? By the way, Mr. Vincent. I thank you for the free vacation to Australia. Again and again, my husband and I are indebted to you.” “You're welcome. Have a wonderful honeymoon,” Vincent smiled back. “Please excuse me. I have some business to
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
