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

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.&

    “Noah. Don't do that to me! Don't you dare touch me! I don't want to! Let go of me, Noah!”“But unfortunately your body demands that I satisfy you because the medicine I mixed into your drink has already taken effect. So, you don't have to be embarrassed and hold back. I will help you fulfill your desire, Claire.”Claire's eyeballs widened. It turned out that all of this was really Noah's plan.Noah had organized everything carefully.“Come on Claire! Let's do the foreplay now. I can't wait to enjoy your beautiful body.” Noah unbuttoned his shirt one by one. Then he threw it in any direction.After that, Noah also took off his belt. While he looked at Claire who was silent. But sweat started to appear around her neck and forehead.Then Noah approached Claire again with his body almost naked. Only the triangular cloth wrapped around his waist.“Noah... Please let me go!” Claire whimpered.

    Alex leads Claire to the car.He opened the car door for Claire. Claire got inside and sat nervously on the passenger seat beside the driver's seat.The heat was running through her body. It felt like Claire wanted to take off her clothes right now and feel the touch of Alex's warm hands.Once inside the car, Alex immediately touched Claire's cheek and pulled her in so that he could kiss her lips gently.Claire enjoyed it. The influence of the drug made her sanity a little drained. Her hand unconsciously went to what was protruding under Alex's pants and caressed it.“You really can't stand it?” asked Alex, whispering in between his paused kisses.Claire's sad eyes implied resignation. Her head nodded slowly.“I can't take it anymore, Alex. Help me,” she whispered.Alex quickly took off the suit he was wearing, then threw it on the back seat.He opened his tie and shirt buttons one by one un

    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
