Four Years Later,

"Let's go in."

The click-clack of high heels echoed through the white building as a new figure stepped out of the car. All eyes were drawn to the dress that fluttered in the wind, its owner possessing a clear and serene face. This was Clara, the owner and ambassador of a world-renowned cosmetics brand.

Clara was invited to an exclusive event for a fashion brand, celebrating the grand opening of their new building. As an ambassador, Clara, surrounded by a life of luxury, had captivated the world.

Just a week ago, her cosmetics factory was expanded, and her workforce grew. It was strange, her fortunes had improved since becoming a single mother.

"Lara..." a man called out, causing a moment of awkwardness.

"Joe? Why is he here? I thought..."

"Mommy, why are you spacing out? Let's sit over there..." Lucas called out, gesturing for Clara to stop lingering.

Though curious about why Joe and her two sons were there, Clara continued towards them.

The event began.

    Clara hadn't left her apartment since the previous night. She had hired several people to renovate it. It seemed that not only Joe was impatiently awaiting the next day, but Clara was also eagerly anticipating their wedding day. Her unwavering smile became a topic of conversation among her neighbors, curious about her busy day. "Mrs. Lara, are you sure you want to replace all the decorations in this room?" A worker felt sorry for all the furniture and everything visible in the apartment. Everything was still new, they couldn't bear to throw it away. As if understanding the workers' thoughts, Clara smiled faintly. "I just want to change the scenery in this house, you can take any old furniture or anything else you like." "B-but ma'am? Are you sure?" Clara nodded amidst their busy work. "Of course." "Hey, you know what, Doctor Joe has a complete and unbeatable job. I didn't expect him to be able to do it, his activities at the hospital are always busy." *** "Replace all my sche

    The conversation was interrupted by a call from Joe's colleague. Clara furrowed her brows, noticing the seriousness in her husband's expression. "What's wrong?" When the call ended, Joe's face remained grim. "Looks like our honeymoon night won't be as sweet as we imagined. The hospital chief called me to handle a very difficult patient. They're waiting for me, so..." "It's okay, it's about saving someone's life and you're assigned to it." "But..." Clara immediately stood up, straightening her husband's clothes. "Go, won't you be back anyway? But, after this, I have a request." "What?" Joe couldn't help but be curious, his forehead creased. "Don't be surprised, I just want to go on a honeymoon to Switzerland." "Of course," Joe immediately agreed, "How long do you want to stay?" "You agree?" Seeing Joe nod, Clara hugged him. "Alright, you can decide this. I happen to be taking care of something soon, and I'm also promoting a new product that launched this month." "Okay, whate

    Joe suddenly remembered the cake he’d bought earlier. He quickly retrieved it and offered it to Clara. “Lara, didn’t you say you wanted a late-night snack?” Clara wanted to express her annoyance, but she tried to keep her tone civil. “Haven’t we had enough snacks since this afternoon? Are you trying to sabotage my calorie count?” Seeing Joe speechless, Clara decided to go inside, leaving the container of food she’d prepared in her car. However, just as she was about to leave, Joe had another thought. “Wait, Lara! Besides, a woman like you should be waiting for her husband at home, not wandering around aimlessly in the middle of the night.” “Wandering around? What did I bring for you then?” “Even though we’ve known each other for a long time, you still don’t understand who I really am. Let’s just drop it; a long argument won’t help.” After his wife left, Joe became curious. “What did she bring anyway?” Peeking through the car window, Joe realized he’d been too quick to judge Clar

    “Here’s the item you ordered; we’re also giving you a bonus – a limited-edition Swiss-made handbag.” Their conversation paused momentarily with Seira's arrival, fulfilling her role in selling the cosmetics and distributing bonuses. Raisa was touched, but she lacked the confidence to continue chatting. “Okay, thank you. Well, I should get going and…” “You’re leaving just like that?” “Umm, I have some errands, so…” Brukk! Someone bumped into her. “Joe?” Clara couldn't believe her husband had dared to find her here. The man cursed himself for being so careless. He hurriedly bowed and apologized. "Since when have you been here?” "It's a surprise, isn't it?" Initially, Joe wanted to avoid the situation, but since he'd been discovered, he couldn't hold back anymore. “I-I… we still need to resolve yesterday’s issues, so…” "It's no use talking at length, Joe, it won't work. I've seen it with my own eyes." Clara's tears of disappointment flowed freely without warning. She couldn't be

    Clara decided to go outside and sit on the patio after her two children, tired from watching TV, fell asleep. "Lara…" Seeing Joe follow her, Clara put on a sour face. "Where were you earlier? I waited for you for two hours and…" Ignoring her, Joe gently kissed her lips again. “A birthday surprise.” Clara caught the honesty in his eyes, but she shook her head. “If you’re busy, get back to work now.” “You’re dismissing me?” Joe narrowed one eye, but without a response, Clara left him alone. What was going on this time? In Clara's bedroom, she sat curled up in the corner of her bed, pondering her recent behavior. Had she been too harsh? However, her head couldn't think clearly at the moment. Clara took a deep breath, trying to lie down. But her thoughts were drawn to Joe's gift. "Ah, right, the bouquet!" Quickly, she got up, left the room, and went to the living room where they had gathered earlier. After retrieving it, although she hesitated, her curiosity made her open it immedi

    "Hey, what are you two talking about?" A curious Joe approached them, then looked at Lara. “You haven't even finished your breakfast, Lara.” "You don't need to know." Clara pulled Raisa away from her husband. “But Lara… how about we go out for a while? I want us to talk outside.” Clara snapped her fingers in agreement. “Well, I have to take you somewhere.” Clara winked, then said goodbye to everyone at home. IN A CITY PARK “What's with that expression on your face?” A long sigh was heard, but there were no signs of Raisa speaking. "Do you have a problem? Or are you feeling unwell from exhaustion?" Silence; only Raisa's gloomy expression was visible on her face. Clara didn't comment anymore; she looked around until an idea came to mind. "Hey, dear, do you want dumplings? I'm still not full.” Clara's words broke the stiff atmosphere. Raisa's mind seemed enlightened. After Clara finally brought two bowls of dumplings, Raisa couldn't resist the tempting aroma. She couldn't help

    A wave of anxiety washed over Clara. This was the umpteenth time she’d shuttled between the police station and the hospital. After the call ended, she excused herself from the officers, her heart heavy with a desperate hope for Raisa’s recovery. That hope clung to her as she reached Raisa’s room. “Joe, Seira, how is Raisa?” Their downcast eyes spoke volumes, fueling her apprehension. “What is it?” Seira shook her head weakly, her eyes swollen. “She… she couldn’t be saved.” The words hung in the air, silencing Clara. “No, it’s impossible! This can’t be happening!” Regret gnawed at her. She’d mistaken Anna’s call for good news; instead, it heralded the devastating loss of her friend. Her heart shattered, a profound grief tearing through her. Tears streamed down her face as she saw Raisa’s body, veiled in white. “Raisa, why did you leave so soon? I never imagined yesterday was our last meeting.” Clara sobbed uncontrollably. “Please, stop crying,” Joe said gently. “She won’t rest pea

    “I know this might seem like a joke to you, but I regret leaving you to fend for yourself without parents.” Jordan’s heart clenched, a surge of anger coursing through him. “Why are you telling me this now? Where’s Mother?” “You won’t understand, but your mother was murdered by Russian mobsters.” The old man hung his head, remorse etched on his face. He then gazed at the child’s photo on the wall. “Your daughter… don’t you see how much she resembles your mother?” Jordan looked at the picture again. While it was true Giselle resembled his mother, that wasn't what preoccupied him now; it was the old man's unbelievable confession. “If Raisa is truly your daughter, does that mean our marriage…” Again, he received a nod. “That’s right…” The words sent a jolt through Jordan. He stared at the man, searching for honesty in his eyes. But Matteo quickly averted his gaze, pleadingly saying, “I’m sorry. I’ve kept this secret for decades, and this is the truth.

  • 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

    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

    TimeBack at his apartment, Mischa tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She glanced at the clock. "It's 2:00 AM."She sat up, leaning against the pillows, blinking sleepily, then checked her phone – still dark. Her breath hitched. Louis was going to see Netty. "I have to make sure Netty stays away from my husband," she muttered, a knot tightening in her stomach.She picked up her phone, intending to distract herself with social media. A post stopped her cold. Her husband was at the hospital!"This is weird. I need to find out what he's doing there."***2:05 AM"Ms. Netty needs type B blood. We're looking for donors…" Louis remembered the doctor's words to his sister, Giselle. He decided then and there to donate."Excuse me, doctor, I'm here to donate blood…" Louis knocked before entering the doctor's office."Come in…"He was calm, but worry etched his face."Your name?""Louis Halle.""Since you're close to the patient, are you willing to donate?" the doctor asked, observing

    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

    "I'm sorry Louis, let me think for a while longer, and if that time comes, I'll see you soon..."The next day, Netty prepared for her departure. However, she still believed that the only place for her to calm down was her family. "Netty, you have to take care of yourself there. I feel like an irresponsible person for letting you go alone. You must understand my situation right now, right?" Louis could not leave the company at that time, especially since his parents were so adamant about keeping him in the company. "Louis, why has your expression changed? Lucas suddenly appeared to awaken the man from his reverie. But Louis was still silent, so Lucas continued. "You and Netty were already considered to look like lovers, but why did you let her go?" His gaze turned cold at his twin brother. "Stay out of my business, you don't deserve it!" Finished speaking, Louis immediately left there with the burden of thoughts that were stuck in his mind about last night's incident. He acciden

    "Taraa…!" A little boy presented Netty with a bunch of fresh, beautiful lilies. His offering coaxed a smile from her, and she accepted the flowers. "Thank you, sweetie. Who told you to give me these?"The boy flashed a gap-toothed grin, then produced a beautifully packaged food box with a little note attached. (Don't forget to eat the food right away!)Reading the note, Netty looked back at the boy—but he was gone! Poof!Where did he go?She searched the immediate area, but the little guy had vanished. Weird!Shrugging it off, Netty prepared to leave. That's when Louis appeared, a smirk playing on his lips. "So? Did you get your bouquet?"Netty frowned, looking down at the flowers in her hand. "So, this was your doing?"Louis nodded slowly. "Do you like them?"He started to respond, but then—bam!—a near-identical version of himself materialized, greeting Louis with, "Long time no see, Louis. How's it going?"But his face was sour. Louis clearly wasn't thrilled about this guy'

A small telescope was in their hand, a smirk playing on their lips. This was seriously shady!The driver got out of the car, removed their glasses, and stood in a hidden corner, producing a wad of cash from atop the car's hood. "Here's your payment, as agreed. Five million should be enough. Count it yourself."The hired man opened the bag containing the money. Seeing the bundle intact, the bald man with a tattooed arm smiled contentedly. "Alright, I guess I don't need to count it. I trust you, anyway." He grabbed the bag with a jarring laugh, quickly silenced."Cut it out, unless you want to get us both busted," the driver threatened.The hired man gave a thumbs-up. "Then I'm outta here.
