"Are you sure about this?" Alessandro again questioned Giselle's decision.After she nodded, Alessandro examined her lightweight backpack. "Your bag's so light. Is that all you're taking?" He frowned, unconvinced."Yes…""But… we're not just staying there for a day or two…" He raised an eyebrow, disbelieving Giselle's seemingly casual answer."You know what my dad's like," Giselle said, and Alessandro nodded in understanding."Then let's go." They boarded the bus and stowed their bags.Before getting on, Giselle looked back, her gaze lingering on the image of her father, the man who'd raised her since infancy, the man she was about to leave behind. "Giselle, what's wrong?""Nothing…" Giselle quickly looked away."No matter what happens, I have to get out of here." This thought strengthened her resolve.On the bus, Giselle stared out the window, her face clou

"But where will we sleep tonight?" Giselle was anxious, afraid of staying somewhere unfamiliar. "And… if there's no transport today, when will we reach our destination?" Giselle longed for the comfort of a bed, a peaceful rest, without the constant travel. Alessandro gestured to a side street. "There's a guesthouse over there. It belongs to my mother's cousin. See?" Giselle looked at a semi-permanent house, recently renovated, with half-finished paintwork. "We can stay there for a couple of days…" Alessandro explained. Giselle stared at the guesthouse. Whether she liked it or not, she followed Alessandro to the door. "It looks empty. I haven't heard a sound. Is the owner out?" *** "Have you seen Giselle? Do you know where she is?" Jordan kept asking, going from person to person, but got nowhere. He still had no information about his daughter. "Where did she go?" Jordan felt exhausted, frust

Two days and nights stretched into an eternity as Alessandro and Giselle remained stranded at Julia’s house, victims of unreliable transport.“Giselle… Giselle, I’ve got news,” Alessandro announced from the distance, his breath ragged as he finally reached the house, fighting to catch his breath.“What is it?” Giselle’s brow furrowed. “Pack your things, we’re leaving now.”She didn’t press for details; she’d learned to trust her impulsive lover.After a hasty farewell to their host, they began their journey to the remote village that would be their temporary home.Giselle hadn’t anticipated the two-hour speedboat ride, but that was nothing compared to the uncertainty that followed. Alessandro gave no indication of their arrival.“How much longer are we going to be walking this godforsaken path?” Giselle finally asked, her voice laced with exhaustion.Before Alessandro could answer, a motorbike roared past. He yelled, “Hey! Can you stop for a second?”The bike pulled over. The driver

A wave of guilt washed over Giselle; she felt like a burden. As she sipped her tea, she choked, a sudden spasm seizing her throat. “Someone’s talking about me… but who?” she wondered. “Is my father searching for me? If I don’t marry Alessandro soon, I’ll have to go back home,” she muttered, a knot tightening in her stomach. Alessandro, sipping his tea, noticed Giselle’s distraction. “Honey, what’s wrong? You look pale,” he whispered, his hand gently touching her arm. Giselle shook her head, but Raffaele seemed to sense her unease. “So, your name’s Giselle?” he asked, his voice surprisingly warm. Giselle jumped, stammering, “Yes, my parents named me that.” Raffaele nodded, and to Giselle’s surprise, they fell into easy conversation. The awkwardness melted away, and neither of them noticed Selena’s absence. Selena reappeared, her voice bright. “Darling, tell Alessandro and his fiancée to eat!” All three turned

The tension remained palpable as Giselle diligently tried to integrate into the daily lives of Alessandro’s family. She mirrored Selena’s actions, tending the vegetable garden and participating in local traditions. She even mastered cooking over a wood-fired stove, learning to prepare sago the traditional way. She believed that embracing their customs would pave the way for acceptance. Late one afternoon, Selena took Alessandro and Giselle to visit someone. At a house surrounded by a fence, they were greeted by a woman around Selena's age. “Selena, it’s you! Come in!” The woman ushered them into the living room. “Please have a seat and wait a moment.” Selena tried to delay her, but the woman left immediately. Selena then turned to Giselle. “That’s Bibi Noura, a close friend. You can greet her if you see her around.” Giselle nodded, feigning understanding. After Bibi Noura returned with drinks, she started questioning them. “Yo

Giselle squinted against the bright sunlight. “Holy crap, I’m late!” The cool night air had lulled her into a deep sleep, and she woke to find the morning well underway. Alessandro wasn't in bed beside her. Her eyes narrowed, suspicion prickling at her. Looking towards the window, she heard footsteps. Netty was busy in the yard, diligently clearing away weeds and trash. Aware she was being watched, Netty turned and greeted Giselle. "You're up! There's boiled banana in the dining room. Go grab some breakfast. Mom and Dad are already there." "Thanks, but I haven't showered yet. Do I really want to face a room full of flies?" Giselle joked, and they both chuckled. Giselle found Netty incredibly sweet, especially when she smiled, showing her teeth. No, she was genuinely pretty. "Sis, you're spacing out," Netty's question startled Giselle. "Oh, nothing. Have you eaten yet?" Giselle asked. Netty set down her tools and w

The commotion outside Giselle's room sent her hurrying out. Instead of a party, she was met with a plume of smoke that made her cough violently.Simultaneously, a tantalizing aroma wafted from the kitchen, intensely familiar. "That smell... it's so familiar," she murmured.Giselle headed towards the source of the smoke. A lively scene unfolded in the kitchen; several people bustled around a crackling wood-fired stove.Alessandro, spotting Giselle, proudly displayed a freshly grilled fish. Giselle's excitement was palpable as she approached the hearth.But Raffaele, nearby, spat on the ground, his eyes flashing with resentment. The atmosphere soured instantly.Selena, her mother-in-law, offered a welcome distraction. "Mother, what can I help with?" Giselle asked, approaching her."No!" Selena shifted, turning her back. "It might seem odd to forbid you from helping, but it's best if you find something else to do, or just sit and enjoy the grilled fish.""Alright everyone, it's done!

"Giselle, still sleeping? It's scorching hot; it's noon, you know!" Selena's voice jolted Giselle awake. She hadn't even realized her mother-in-law was standing beside her bed."Sorry, M-mother..." Giselle stammered, nerves jangling. A cough and approaching footsteps distracted her."Why are you still here? Go to the bathroom, at least wash those clothes piled up in the bucket. Don't be lazy after this. Remember, Giselle, Alessandro won't defend you if you act like this."This was the first time Giselle had heard her mother-in-law speak so sharply, so angrily. Had someone poisoned her mother-in-law's mind, making her take it out on Giselle?Alessandro entered the room, finding it cold and silent. "Mother, why are you here? What's going on?"The middle-aged woman folded her arms, glancing at Giselle. "I'm here to teach your wife a lesson. Look at her, still sleeping in bed while you've just returned from fishing. Do you think I'd be happy seeing her lazing around?"Giselle hung h

"Alessandro, where have you been?" Alessandro turned at the sound of his name. Seeing Netty hurrying towards him, he knew she had something to say. "What is it?" "I need to tell you something about your wife, Giselle." Alessandro frowned. "Giselle? What's wrong with her?" Netty took a breath. "Your wife... she's pregnant!" "It's just a guess, a logical one. We talked, and I told you to take her to the clinic; don't just rely on herbal remedies." Alessandro fell silent, contemplating the future. "Okay, I'll go back." **"Look, you're dehydrated. Were you like this before?" The midwife at the clinic complained after examining Giselle. Giselle, realizing she'd lost weight, said, "It's been three weeks. You should eat more fruits and nutritious food." Alessandro pondered the midwife's advice. Giselle was clearly struggling to adapt to life in the isolated village. Poor thing! But

Mischa let his henchman revel in his moment of triumph, then retreated. "Wait! You haven't been paid yet."Mischa's steps faltered. He smiled, raising an eyebrow. "How much do you want?""One hundred thousand dollars."Without hesitation, Mischa produced the cash. "However-" Before the man could snatch the money, Mischa continued, "Forty thousand will do for today! After all, haven't you got a new toy to play with?" He tossed the money at the man's feet.The man grumbled, protesting. "But this isn't what we agreed on! You don't know how hard I fought to get past those CCTV cameras-""Ahh, that's irrelevant. Go.

Louis grabbed his chin viciously and received fierce stares from him. "Why—" Mischa still thought, if I tell the truth, would everything change?"Actually—" when Mischa tried to speak, Louis interrupted him. "I'll hear your words if it makes sense!""I-I just want the baby in my womb to have a father. Even if he is not your flesh and blood, do you just hope that you will consider him your son?""What?" Louis reacted in shock and squeezed his hair roughly, "Enough Mischa! Don't go any further, this is already a great insult to me and my family." Deep expressions of disappointment were clearly visible on his face. She couldn't believe it, and Mischa instead made her a cover for her disgrace. Really, a very heartless woman! "Forgive me Louis, I mentioned this reason for the sake of our relationship. Ever since Netty was by your side, you didn't even glance at me at all...""Unfortunately I'm too stupid to trust people like you so easily. If I had known from the beginning, I wouldn't
Mysterious Husband is Billionaire The Night the Whiskey Talked
Louis wasn’t driving himself home. He’d opted for a cab, pulling up in front of a bar he hadn’t visited in ages. Stepping inside, the place was a whirlwind of young, reckless revelers and dancers grooving to the thumping DJ music. He weaved through the crowd, grabbing a drink the moment he spotted an empty stool.“Louis! What the hell are you doing?” Lucas appeared, his voice sharp, as he caught sight of his twin brother knocking back shots of hard liquor.“Louis, have you lost your mind? Your wife’s waiting at home, and you’re here, getting plastered?”Lucas tried to snatch the shot glass, but Louis held firm, his voice surprisingly calm. “Why the rush? Let’s relax and drink this stuff until we’re happy. Don’t worry about the cost.”This was getting out of hand. Louis wasn’t usually a drinker; this change was unsettling. Lucas needed to get him out of there before the alcohol did more damage. “Damn it! How do I even contact Mischa? My phone’s still in the car.”“Still want to wa
Mysterious Husband is Billionaire Shattered Vows
Louis’s words hung in the air, sharp as a threat. Mischa wondered if the woman with the long nails and platinum blonde hair was deliberately trying to drive a wedge between them. Giselle watched the woman discreetly. When Louis excused himself to make a call, Mischa casually pulled a cigarette from her purse and lit it, the acrid smell of tobacco instantly filling the room. Giselle coughed. "Excuse me, but this is a non-smoking area. There's a sign right over there."Mischa glanced at the sign Giselle indicated, then rolled her eyes. "And I care?"Giselle took a deep breath, composing herself. Just as Louis returned, Netty's doctor emerged from the room. "Doctor, how is my sister-in-law?" Giselle asked anxiously."She's still unconscious. We'll be monitoring her hourly. Please, try to stay calm."Louis was about to enter Netty's room, but Mischa stopped him. "Can't we just go home? You've already done so much…" Her plea hung unspoken in the air."No! Can't you see someone's life is

In her apartment, Mischa still couldn't sleep and kept shifting positions restlessly. Her eyes darted to the wall clock, then she mumbled, "It's already 2:00 AM." Slowly she sat up and leaned back against the pillow, blinking several times before glancing at her phone, which hadn't flashed since earlier. Her breath came out heavy, and her alertness heightened. Louis was going to meet Netty. "I have to make sure Netty keeps her distance from my husband." Mischa picked up her phone, planning to distract herself by opening social media. As she saw a post, her anxiety deepened when she noticed her husband's location was at the hospital! "This feels strange; I need to find out what he’s doing there." *** 2:05 AM "Ms. Netty needs type B blood. So we are currently looking for someone willing to donate..." Louis still remembered the doctor's words while talking to his sister Giselle, so he immediately went to see the doctor after making his decision. "Excuse me, doctor, I came to don
Mysterious Husband is Billionaire A Familiar Back, A Troubled Heart
A social media post stopped Netty in her tracks. The photo showed a back – a very familiar back. She wanted to guess, but fear of being wrong gnawed at her. She checked the account’s owner, a name she recognized: "L Mischa." So familiar, but why the single 'L'? Could it be…? Should she guess it stood for Louis? Was it true, then? Were she and Louis meant to be? Before Netty could dwell further, a notification popped up. A new post from the same account, instantly showered with likes and supportive comments. "My guess is right, the 'L' stands for Louis. Is this the answer to my prayers? If we aren't meant to be, then help me find someone else, someone to help me forget his kindness and our memories." A text message arrived, advertising a part-time night shift job. "I guess this is it. Time to quit my old job and take this new one, even if it's just as a convenience store clerk, only six hours a day." Netty made up her mind. She told her family, grabbed her bag, and left to apply.

Frustration, anger, and pent-up emotions boiled over after a failed plan. Louis vanished without a trace after that day, disappearing from circulation and ignoring all calls, both business-related and from his parents.His mind was consumed by the desire to apologize to Netty. If he went to her house and asked her family about her, would they tell him? But what if Netty wasn't home?He could barely imagine what would happen if he found out Netty wasn't home. Although he had called her several times, there was only a forwarding message.He spent his days alone, exhausted, without a confidante to vent the frustrations that had been building for days.Today, Louis unknowingly stopped near Mischa's family home. Before getting out of the car, he sat contemplating, murmuring, "I wonder how Mischa's doing?"Suddenly, he thought about the woman he admitted he didn't love at all. His expression was somber.

The whispers followed Giselle like a shadow. "They say she never got her mother's love, not even as a baby," one voice hissed. Another chimed in, "Really? Where'd you hear that?" Giselle’s cheeks burned. The judging stares felt like knives. But the whispers died down abruptly as a figure appeared – Alessandro, her husband. "Al-Alessandro..." breathed the gossips. Their attention shifted back to their shopping, the initial purpose of their visit to Giselle’s grocery store. Alessandro’s arrival transformed Giselle's frown into a radiant smile. Serving her customers, she was noticeably more relaxed. Alessandro, however, watched her with a tender gaze, a small smile playing on his lips. Netty, noticing this exchange, chuckled softly. Despite the storms they’d weathered, Giselle felt incredibly fortunate to have him. And now, cradled in her arms, their beautiful baby boy, Leon, completed their picture. Once the last customer left, Giselle
