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
“Alice, Daddy knows you are very smart and always reliable. Whatever your idea is, Daddy will support it. Let's do it together so that our house won't be seized and our family company will be safe.”“Daddy's sure, my idea is a bit outrageous, but after all, Daddy wouldn't let us live on the streets, right? It's for our own good.”“Don't hesitate to say it, Alice! It's okay. Papa will agree with your idea. Quickly tell us what idea you have?” asked Graham enthusiastically.Nancy nodded quickly. Her face looked just as curious as Graham's.“What if we...” Alice began to share an idea she had that would allow them to save the company and their home.Hearing that, big smiles spread across Graham and Nancy's lips.From the look on their faces, it seemed that Graham and Nancy were very much in agreement with the plan that their daughter had.***“What's Daddy calling me about?&rdq
“You'll know after seeing my mom's room number.”Brant nodded obediently, not forcing Claire to tell him.Seeing that there were many nurses and doctors walking ahead, Claire immediately quickened her pace and deliberately caught Brant off guard.“Mrs. Knight?!” called Brant looking for Claire who had now disappeared in the blink of an eye just by overtaking several doctors and nurses who were walking in a hurry.Brant tried to find Claire, but he lost track.“Looks like Mrs. Knight doesn't want to be told by me. I have to tell Mr. Knight right away!” exclaimed Brant, taking his cell phone out of his pants pocket and putting it to his right ear.[Hello, what's up Brant?]“Hello, Mr. Knight. I'm sorry, I lost track of Mrs. Knight.”[What?! How could you?! Didn't I order you to stay with her?]“That's right, sir. I've been with her ever since. But Mrs. Knight walked qui
“Soon this won't be our room, but only yours. One thing you should know, Alex. The one who really loves you is Alice. She loves you very sincerely. Because I hated Alice, so I forced my father to marry me to you. I wanted to take you away from Alice. And I succeeded.”Hearing that, Alex's forehead wrinkled this time. His eyes narrowed, feeling that there was something wrong with his wife's words.“Wait! Did Alice threaten you and tell you to do all this to me?” asked Alex, a probing look in his eyes.Claire shook her head. “Don't accuse Alice. She didn't threaten me to do this. I was the one who wanted our divorce. I'm tired of living with a man I don't love. I'm going back to Noah.”Alex threw the vase of flowers on the floor as he stood up from his seat.Claire was surprised to see Alex's outburst of anger.The man was reluctant to hurt her. So he smashed things around him when his heart was broken.
Vincent drove Alex's car to the bank. But since the bank was quite far from the office, it naturally took them a while to arrive.Meanwhile, Claire approached an empty building while getting out of the taxi. Two unknown men immediately approached her and helped her carry the five large, heavy-looking bags.They also secured Claire's cell phone, and made sure that she wasn't carrying any weapons.“Hurry up and get in! Mr. Graham is waiting inside!” the two men turned out to be Graham's goons.Claire nodded, then walked with the two thugs into the empty building.Arriving inside the building, Claire's eyes widened to see her mother sitting tied to a chair while being guarded by Graham and two other thugs.Graham grinned happily at the arrival of his eldest daughter.Especially when his eyes saw Claire and her two thugs carrying 5 large bags which of course contained 50 million dollars.Cl
Inside the prison.“Get me out of here! I don't want to be in jail! Please let me out!” Graham shouted from inside the prison.He was already wearing a prisoner's shirt.His shouts were completely ignored by the police.Graham growled in annoyance. “How dare you ignore me! You all don't know who I am, do you? I'm Mr. Knight's father-in-law. I'm the father-in-law of an influential person in this country!”Bragging, Graham patted his chest. The policemen and other prisoners, meanwhile, immediately laughed, finding Graham's remarks amusing.“Mr. Knight's father-in-law, you say?” repeated one of the policemen, raising one eyebrow.Before smiling dismissively. “Everyone in this country also knows that Mr. Knight already has a wife named Claire, and Mrs. Knight only has a mother. Then who are you? How dare you dream of becoming Mr. Knight's in-laws.”“Listen to me! Claire is indeed my daughter. I'm not lying. She's my first daughter.”“Sir, it seems like you're under stress because all you
Jenny nodded her head. “That's right, Claire. The result is positive. Now you're pregnant,” Jenny said.Claire immediately grabbed the test pack held by Jenny. Claire looked at it with tears in her eyes. She shook her head slowly as if she couldn't believe what she saw.“I still can't believe this. Me, I'm pregnant?” Claire dropped her tears, then looked up at Jenny who was also staring at Claire with emotion.“Do you still not believe it? Right now there is a fetus growing in your womb. Congratulations, Claire. You're going to be a mom,” Jenny said, clasping Claire's hands together with a smile on her face.Claire touched her flat stomach with her palm. “Thank you for growing inside my womb, my dear child,” Claire said.Jenny smiled.“Alex and I are going to be parents. Alex should know this. He'll be happy to hear it,” Claire exclaimed excitedly, her face beaming. Jenny nodded her head with a smile.“Of course he will. This is the moment you and Alex have been waiting for. When
“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!
