Nova, as the secretary of the Golden Era, was now standing in front of all the invited guests.Everyone there was paying close attention. Alice and Noah were excited when they heard Nova mention Mr. Knight.“In addition to the charity event, today Mr. Knight will introduce himself to all of us. He is the CEO of Golden Era Enterprise.” Nova said.A big smile appeared on Alice's lips.Puffing out her chest, Alice said to herself. “This is the moment I've been waiting for the most. I will soon meet Mr. Knight. Just watch! Mr. Knight's attention will only be on me. I assure you that the handsome and wealthy CEO will make me Mrs. Knight.”“I welcome Mr. Knight to the stage!” said Nova as she invited Mr. Knight to come forward.Everyone seemed to be eagerly awaiting Mr. Knight's presence. So was Claire who was currently standing beside Alex. She was curious about what the boss of the Golden Era Enterprise owner looked like.However, Claire was surprised when Alex suddenly got up from besid
“What?! There's no way. Alex is Mr. Knight?” Noah's breath caught in his throat.As surprised as they were, Claire stared at Alex without blinking. She had no idea that the husband she thought was poor was actually a wealthy billionaire.“Did he also lie about the cost of our vacation to Australia? And the house we stayed at in Luxury Hills?” Claire widened her eyes, wringing her hands at her sides.How could she foolishly believe Alex that all the luxurious facilities they were getting were gifts from Alex's boss.Even though it all came from Alex himself.Still speaking in front of the invited guests, Alex then glanced at Claire.“I would like to proudly introduce my wife to all of you. She is my most beautiful woman, my most beloved and kindest woman. Her name is Mrs. Claire Knight.” Alex stepped down from the podium and walked towards Claire.Claire's face was hesitant and awkward when Alex took her hand and invited her to stand together in front of the guests.All the guests appl
The name mentioned by Alice actually made the big smile on her parents' faces, suddenly stopped. Replaced with a look of surprise and disapproval.“Alice, don't joke around! Alex is Claire's husband. He's just a construction worker after all. What big business does he have? He doesn't even have honor. All he can do is cause misery with his meager salary,” Graham said, taking Alice's words as a joke.Nancy snorted, then said, “There are plenty of rich men queuing up to be your boyfriend out there, why would you choose to approach Alex, that trashy guy? He's handsome, but you're not going to get rich by licking his good looks!”Alice exhaled harshly. Her parents had no idea how rich Alex was.“Stop calling Alex a loser and a trashy guy!” Alice told her parents.“He is, in fact, a garbage man!” Nancy grumbled.Alice shook her head. “If Mom and Dad knew who Alex really was, you'd regret ever saying that.”“Why would we regret it? Who is he? A tycoon, right? A billionaire whose business i
In the morning, Claire had just woken up. Her brow furrowed at the sight of Alex sitting on the edge of the bed, dressed in a neat black office suit.His hair looked sleek, adding to his good looks.“Alex, your outfit is very neat this morning,” Claire commented while changing her position to sitting. Smiling, Alex then approached Claire. “Since you already know that I'm Mr. Knight, then I won't pretend to go to work as a construction worker anymore. I can wear my office suit straight from home,” Alex said as he rubbed Claire's right cheek and smiled widely.Alex's words were reciprocated by Claire with an eyeball roll.Alex laughed softly, hugging Claire tightly until their chests touched. “Don't roll your eyes! You forgave me last night, right? Don't get angry again! We've made up now!”Seeing Alex's pitiable face accompanied by the man's lips puckering in fear that Claire would silence him again, the man's expression looked funny in Claire's eyes. It made Claire unable to help but
“Alice, can I ask you a favor?” Noah was very confused today because his father owed a lot of money to the bank, and the bank was threatening to foreclose on his house. Noah himself didn't have much to hold on to.Therefore, he desperately approached Alice at the gate of the woman's house.“A favor? What kind of help are you talking about?” asked Alice, taking off her sunglasses and approaching Noah with her arms crossed.Alice's clothes were all put together. She was about to leave with her friends.“Can you do me a favor and lend me three million dollars?”“You're borrowing money from me? Do you think I'm a bank that you can just lend money to?” asked Alice, chuckling sarcastically.Noah's eyes narrowed. “But, I used to help your father's company financially a lot, when your father's company was having financial problems. And now it's my turn to need help. If you mind helping me, I'll talk to your father directly and ask him for help,” Noah told Alice.Furthermore, Noah was about t
The sound of the bell made Claire, who was watching TV, get up from her seat and open the door.“Alex!” she gasped as she saw her husband standing at the door.A smile appeared on Claire's lips. She was happy to see Alex coming even though he should be at the office right now.“Why did you send 50,000 dollars to Noah's account?”“What?!” Claire's eyes blinked.Alex asked suddenly. It took Claire by surprise.How did Alex know that she sent money to Noah? Even Alex knew the amount.“Claire, I'm asking you why did you send money to Noah's account? Have you been dealing with him behind my back?” a jealous tone was heard in Alex's voice as he asked Claire about it.Claire's eyes narrowed, her head shook quickly. “You're accusing me of having an affair with Noah behind your back? Alex, you don't believe me?” Claire's mouth dropped open.She never thought Alex would suspect her.Alex didn't answer right away, he stepped into the house and took off his jacket, throwing it carelessly onto the
Finally Alex typed a reply message.[Who the hell are you? How dare you send me flowers with threatening writing! You'll know the consequences later! Just wait! You think I'm going to stay silent?!]The message was sent to the person.Shortly after, there was a reply message that made Alex's forehead furrow.[If you want to know who I am, come to Bar Alexis at eight tonight! You have to come fast. Otherwise, you'll never find me] Alex's hands were clenched on the table, then Alex couldn't help himself as he punched the table with his right fist, causing a strong thumping sound."What a piece of shit! That guy dares to play with me! Just watch! I'll definitely find you. I won't let you off the hook, even if you apologize while kneeling in front of me," Alex muttered with his breathing ragged with emotion.His face was bright red. His eyeballs conveyed suppressed emotions.Then, Alex remembered the name of the place the person on the phone had mentioned."Bar Alexis?" he repeated, rais
“Is he working overtime? He's still not home,” Claire muttered.Rising from her seat, Claire then approached the clock on the wall, seeing that it was ten o'clock at night.Claire rubbed her arm nervously. It was unusual for Alex to be home this late.Just then, there was a sudden message notification on her cell phone that made a smile appear on Claire's lips as she exclaimed. “That must be a message from Alex!”Claire immediately approached her cell phone and grabbed it to look at the incoming message.However, the content of the message made her smile fade away instantly.“What?! No way!” shrieked Claire shaking her head.Her eyes widened in disbelief.The message was indeed sent from Alex's number, but the content of the message stunned Claire.The content of the message was three intimate photos of Alice and Alex sleeping on the same bed in a hotel room.[Claire, I'm sorry that Alex came home so late tonight. I used Alex's cell phone with his approval. I was surprised that Alex's
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
