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
Returning home, Alex stopped his car in his front yard.His feet immediately stepped through the main door as he called out his wife's name.“Claire! Claire! I'm home!”Alex's call was interrupted when his eyes looked at the dining table, where there was a lot of food served there.“Claire prepared all this for me?” muttered Alex staring at the dining table, guilt creeping into his heart.“Claire!”His feet took another step, this time up the stairs, then opened the door to the room.Upon arriving at the room, Alex was surprised to see Claire who had packed her clothes into a suitcase.“Claire?! Where are you going? Why are you packing your clothes?” asked Alex, running over to his wife.His forehead wrinkled as he looked at Claire's clothes that were piled up and neatly arranged in the medium-sized suitcase.Pulling the zipper of her suitcase, Claire replied. “I'm leaving this house. I'm no longer needed here anyway, right?”“What are you saying? Who said I don't need you anymore? I
Meanwhile, inside the house, Alice and Nancy were laughing together in Alice's room.“You managed to sleep with Alex? You're so smart. I'm proud of you.” Nancy patted the thigh of Alice who was sitting beside her.Both of them had big smiles on their faces.Yes, Alice had just told her mother about last night's incident where she tricked Alex into sleeping with her.“Of course, mom. I'm smart because I'm mama's girl,” Alice exclaimed confidently.Nancy laughed. “But, does Alex know you set him up? If he does, I'm afraid instead of you becoming Mrs. Knight, Alex will report you to the police.”Nancy's smile vanished and was replaced with a worried look after her mind suddenly remembered that.“Don't worry. Alex did suspect that I had set him up, but the type of anesthetic I mixed into his drink was the kind that would make the person who consumed it unable to remember what had happened to that person. So, it's unlikely that Alex would have any proof that I set him up,” Alice explained.
“What about the thugs you sent to Graham's house? Did they do their job properly?” Alex asked Vincent over the phone. He asked in a whisper so as not to be heard by his wife who was currently getting a hair dryer from outside the room to dry her wet hair. [Everything is according to your orders, Mr. Knight. They destroyed things in Graham's house and threatened Alice and her mother. Unfortunately, Graham was not at home, so he did not receive any threats]“It doesn't matter. The important thing is that they've scared those two scheming women. I hope my warning will deter Alice and stop disturbing my household.”[Don't worry, Mr. Knight. If Alice dares to disturb your family, I will give her a heavier punishment] Vincent said like a loyal subordinate.At the same time, Claire came back into the room still with a white towel wrapped around her body. She glanced at Alex who was talking to Vincent on the phone.Claire only glanced at her husband for a moment, then she chose to continue
After work, Claire went to the mall to buy some personal items.Alex couldn't accompany her because he had an important meeting with a client.Even so, Alex doesn't let his wife travel without security.He hired a bodyguard named Brant to guard and accompany Claire everywhere.However, Claire deliberately leaves the house quietly so that Brant won't follow her. Because she wanted to go shopping to the mall only accompanied by Jenny, who is her best friend.However, while she was busy shopping, Claire was visited by Noah, who approached her with a face full of regret. “Hi, Claire!” “You?!” squealed Claire, raising one eyebrow.Jenny snorted, folding her arms across her chest. “Stop bothering Claire! You dumped her a long time ago, so don't even try to get close to her!”“I have no business with you! My business is with Claire,” Noah snapped back, glaring at Jenny. Then Noah turned his gaze to Claire. His eyes, which used to stare resentfully at Claire, were now soft and regretful.
Coming home from the mall, Claire was surprised to see her husband's car parked neatly in the front yard.Sure enough, her husband was home and greeted her at the doorway.“Alex? Are you home?” asked Claire, approaching Alex and pecking his right cheek.There were some groceries that Claire carried in her hand. Alex helped carry some of his wife's groceries. “I heard from Brant that you deliberately left the house without his knowledge.”Claire silently bit her lip. Alex's eyeballs glared at her sharply, making her stutter.“I just don't like-”“Don't like being watched?” guessed Alex.Claire nodded slowly.Alex let out a rough breath, then rubbed his face. “Claire, I hired Brant to have someone look after you when I'm not around. Besides, he can follow you from a distance if you feel uncomfortable.”Claire's head bowed deeply. Her hands gripped the strap of her grocery bag tightly.Her lips pursed. She had expected Alex to get angry if he found out she left without her bodyguard.“I
“Alex, all this...” Claire couldn't continue her words because she was so moved.But at that moment Alex hugged her from behind and he whispered in Claire's left ear.“I decorated all of this,” Alex whispered, telling his wife that he was the one who had decorated their room to be as romantic as possible.Hearing Alex's answer, Claire raised one eyebrow.“You decorated it?”Alex nodded his head.“Yes. Do you like it, dear?” Alex asked Claire as he patted his wife's left shoulder.With her eyes glazed over, Claire then nodded her head and she still gazed fondly at the entire corner of her room.“Yes. I really, really, really like it. I didn't expect you to be so good at decorating this room. I didn't know you had a romantic side,” Claire replied.Alex laughed at his wife's words. He released his embrace and now turned Claire around and cupped his hands on her che
Meanwhile, Brant was watching Claire who was now hugging Jenny to give her a gift.The two friends were talking to each other and smiling widely.Unbeknownst to Brant, a waiter approached and poured a drink into his glass.Unsuspecting, Brant gulped down the drink until half was left.After a few minutes, Brant felt his eyes become heavy. He was very sleepy.“Why am I suddenly so sleepy?” he mumbled in wonder as he tried to widen his eyes so he wouldn't fall asleep.Eventually, Brant fell asleep in a sitting position with his head on the table.At the same time, Noah approached the table where Claire had been sitting.While Claire was busy chatting with Jenny, Noah was now pouring something into Claire's orange juice.Then his lips broke into a lopsided smile. “Tonight you must be mine, Claire. I'm sure Mr. Knight won't want you anymore after knowing I touched you,” Noah said and grinned.&
