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
“Alex, don't take too long! Poor Valen and Evans are waiting for us.” Claire spoke to Alex who was currently hugging her from behind.The two of them were soaking in a large bathtub. Claire sat on Alex's lap and let him touch her body freely.“Just a moment, dear. Just let them wait,” Alex replied. It was a bit lazy to get out of the bathtub. The man was still engrossed in his toys.“But aren't we going to your grandmother's house? She'll be waiting for us, right?”“In five minutes, honey.”“You always say five more minutes.” Claire's lips pouted.Alex grinned widely. His hands were still active, overwhelming his wife.“Mommy! Daddy! Let's go to great-grandma's house! Mommy! What are you doing? We're all dressed up!” they were suddenly startled by the sound of knocking on the bathroom door.It was followed by Valen and Evans' loud voices calling out to them."I told you. The kids are waiting for us. Let's hurry, I'm afraid they'll get suspicious about what we're doing together in the
“Alex, I remember. Of course I remember. In fact, I thought it was you who forgot.”The reporters and Alex's coworkers around could only smile at Alex and Claire's harmony.Claire smiled sweetly. She looked at Alex's face with the same look.“I think your gift is too much. This hotel is too luxurious for me.”“This hotel is nothing compared to everything you've given me. Think of this hotel as a small part of my gratitude for sharing your life with me, for giving me a beautiful and intelligent son like Valen, for giving me a handsome and smart son like Evans, and for always being by my side. I love you, Claire Knight. There is not the slightest regret in my heart for living with you.”“I love you too, Alexander Knight. May we always be together until the end.”The next second, the kiss scene was again photographed and immortalized. Then the portrait of a warm embrace became the sweetest moment taken by the reporter's camera.***Alex's award ceremony really succeeded in grabbing the a
A year later...Evans had grown into a handsome toddler, he could already walk and say the words 'Mommy, Daddy.' His adorable behavior makes Alex and Claire can't resist kissing his chubby cheeks.Alex was playing with Valen in the living room, there was a large carpet in the living room so Valen could play there. While Alex watched and kept her company.“Mommy.” Valen grabbed a plastic flower stem and showed it to Alex as she stood up.Alex shook his head. “No, Evans, that's not Mommy. It's a flower.” Alex tried to correct his little boy's pronunciation.“But Evans is still little, Dad. It's natural that he still can't pronounce words correctly,” said Claire who came from the direction of the kitchen and walked towards Alex while carrying a cup of coffee on a tray.Alex chuckled at Claire's words. Maybe he thought what his wife said was true too.“Your coffee.” Claire handed the cup of coffee to Alex.Alex accepted it happily.“Thank you dear wife. I love you so much,” Alex said whi
Alex thought for a moment. He did have a little trouble choosing a name for his son. There were actually many good names that Alex had chosen. But for some reason, the names he chose were not pleasing to Alex.At the same time, Claire entered the incubator room in a wheelchair pushed by Emma. Alex and Valen smiled at the sight of Claire who had been allowed to see their little son.“Mommy!” Valen exclaimed enthusiastically seeing Claire.Claire put her index finger in front of her lips, signaling Valen to keep quiet in the incubator room where there were several babies.“Claire said she wanted to see her son.” Emma told Alex.Alex nodded, putting Valen down and letting her be taken over by Emma. Meanwhile, Alex switched to pushing the wheelchair occupied by Claire and pushed it so that Claire could see her baby from a close distance.“He's very handsome, isn't he?” Alex asked.Claire watched her son's face. Staring with emotion, Claire nodded her head.“He's so cute. I feel like holdi
Alex should have left for the office by now. But Alex was still sitting on the edge of the bed in his room. Sitting side by side with Valen. It seemed that the boy was also curious. They were waiting for the results.Claire's test results! Yes! In the bathroom, Claire was trying out her pregnancy test kit to confirm whether she was pregnant or not.When the bathroom door creaked open, Alex and Valen immediately stood up straight and went straight to Claire. Storming in with different questions.“Claire, how did it go?”“I want to have a baby sister, right?”Claire looked alternately at her husband and daughter who seemed to be staring at her curiously. The pregnancy test was still in Claire's right hand.Alex saw Claire's sad face. Her lips were pouting. From the look on Claire's face alone, Alex could already draw the conclusion that the result might be negative.“It's okay, Claire. That means we haven't succeeded in making a sister for Valen. Don't worry, Valen's fine too. He can st
In the morning, Claire was busy preparing breakfast. Mia, who usually helps her, was currently cleaning the backyard.While cooking, Claire smiled as she imagined how gentle and romantic Alex was last night.“What are you imagining that you're cooking while smiling?” Claire was surprised when Alex suddenly came over and wrapped both of his burly arms around her stomach from behind.“Who cooks with a smile?” Claire was evasive.But Alex knew she was lying. “I saw it myself. You were daydreaming about something while smiling sweetly. You weren't imagining another man, were you? You must have been thinking about your handsome husband, right?” Alex asked, a jealous tone in her question.Still hugging Claire's stomach from behind, Alex rolled his eyes. “Whatever. Anyway, I want to tell you one thing. You can't smile for another man!”Claire put a smile on her lips. Claire felt funny hearing Alex's words. It seemed that Alex didn't know that the one Claire was daydreaming about while smilin
“So this is Valen's doing?” asked Alex. There was a big smile hidden on his lips."Yes. Who else. Mia and the other maids wouldn't dare lock me in Valen's room!" still with her back to Alex, Claire folded her arms across her chest. Her lips remained five centimeters forward in front of Alex."Valen is very understanding. She just knows what her father wants," Alex said, sighing with relief and standing up from his seat.Alex's steps moved towards Claire who was still standing by the door.“What do you mean, what do you want?” Claire knitted her eyebrows together. This time she turned her face to look at Alex, in order to examine the meaning of the meaningful gaze that was implied there.The two corners of Alex's lips pulled together even more, forming a wide smile. Now his strapping body had arrived in front of Claire's petite body.Realizing that they were very close, Claire took a step back until her back was against the wall. Then Alex quickly enclosed her and held both hands on th
"Claire! I'm so sorry. Let me sleep here tonight, honey. Don't get angry again. Tomorrow we'll buy more ice cream." Alex said as he knocked on the door."No! You go ahead and eat a lot of ice cream. I'll get diabetes later!""Well, tomorrow I'll take you to the diamond shop. You buy as many as you want. Yes, I will. But open the door, Claire. I'm sorry."“No!” Claire replied firmly from inside.Alex sighed softly while clutching the pillow to his chest. It looked like Alex's efforts to persuade Claire would be useless. Because Claire would be hard to persuade tonight.It was raining heavily outside. Even Alex already felt aroused when he saw his wife's body. The image in his mind was that they would forgive each other and finally do fun things on the bed.However, everything that happened was not what Alex had envisioned.In fact, Alex had to put his desires on hold and staggered into Valen's room.“Daddy?!” Valen was surprised when her bedroom light suddenly turned on and Alex was al
Three years later...“Valen, let's shoot Daddy!”“Bang ... Bang ... ” Valencia, the now three-year-old girl, was playing with Alex.In the living room, they were running around with each other. Alex would hide behind a table, chair or wall, and Valen would look for him until he found him. Then Valen swiftly raised his water pistol and fired it at Alex.Alex pretended to hold his chest which was hit by the water gun, then his body wavered and fell to the floor.“Daddy, you lost! Daddy lost!” Valen jumped up and down happily.Seeing Alex pretending to faint, Valen approached Alex and tried to shoot Alex in the face again. But before Valen could do so, Alex had already caught the water gun and fired it back at Valen's face and chest.This made the girl laugh out loud while trying to cover her face with both hands."Now you lose. Daddy wins!" Alex chased Valen who ran towards the kitchen.Meanwhile, Alex chased from behind while continuing to shoot with the water gun from behind."Mommy!
