On the way home, he could feel Marie's cold grey eyes watching him so closely until he could barely move freely because of it. He repeatedly refused his wife's request to replace him driving the car, so maybe that was the reason why she was annoyed with him now. He answered his wife's reaction by pretending not to notice that Marie's gaze was clearly questioning him many things.
Therefore, he had absolutely no intention of starting a conversation. There was only silence as Marie tried to start a conversation, letting the awkward silence overwhelm them both. Every now and then he justified the location of his rear window as his excuse to observe Marie's stalkers who were still following them.
His mind was messed up. He might be able to take on Silvano's men, but he was not even sure about Marie. Coupled with his still chaotic state due to the recovery process as of now, it seemed a bit impossible that he woul

Marie could not herself help but laugh when she saw Keith's cute reaction, who was hiding his embarrassment at what she just said to him. She had deliberately called her husband 'little boy', purely on the ground that she wanted to prank the man who had been acting childish when he had a fever earlier. But seeing Keith's reaction just now started to make her think about the idea of calling the man by that nickname in the future. Maybe in the future. Maybe. She just needed to wait for the right moment, though. She then paused at the door of the room for a moment, remembering the time Keith begged her to let him sleep on her lap. She had never seen such a spoiled side of Keith before since she usually found his husband as always wanted to do everything himself. If she was being honest, she wanted to take that golden opportunity to attack Keith. To make love to the man in the man's office room in that second. Regardless of the man's refusal, nor the fact that her husb
Marie bit her lower lip as soon as she heard Patricia's words. For a moment, she thought of an option to divert the conversation. But she did need Patricia's advice. Her mind was already messed up when she found out Keith had a fever. Plus, when she accidentally saw bruises on several parts of Keith's body when her husband was sleeping, she had no choice but to justify Derek's words when he came to her office. "Is the problem really serious this time?" asked Patricia, now wearing a worried face. Reluctantly, she nodded weakly. Buried her head on the table. “I messed up everything, Pattie. Everything…” “Look, Marie,” Patricia also leaned her head on the table with her eyes locked on hers after finding that she did not continue her words, putting a rather mismatched concerned smile on her best friend's cute face. "What did you do to make you think something like that?" She took a deep breath, somewhat reluctant to continue her words. "What do you think
As soon as she arrived in front of their mansion, she found Keith who took a deep breath as he leaned back, seeming so lost in his own thoughts until he did not even notice her existence. Her attempts to attract the man's attention failed miserably, forcing her to give up her intention to continue the conversation. During a party at Keith's parent's mansion some time ago, her mother-in-law had warned her of Keith's stubbornness when he was facing something tough, and now she was dealing with it. It seemed that there was nothing she could do now other than to be as cold to her husband as she did before. It was the only way she could think of to keep her husband out of the trouble she was causing. Her hands clenched into fists, making up her mind. "You should just let me drive."
Marie stretched her stiff muscles as a result of her busyness. From when she got home until the clock on her smartphone showed one o'clock in the morning, she kept staying in her room, concentrating on her work. She turned off her iPad screen, recharged the battery which would soon die if she did not charge it soon, then looked at Larch, who looked relieved to see her done with her work."What's wrong––"There was a loud sound that seemed to be coming from her stomach, making her and Larch startle instantly. Half laughing, she rose from her chair holding her stomach as she realized that she had not touched any food since she got home. Keith should be asleep by now. Or at least, that was what she wanted to know, so she would not have to deal with awkward feelings about meeting her husband.
Tatius panicked as soon as he reached for his smartphone and found that he woke up later than usual. Even though he was absolutely sure he had set his alarm as usual, and for some reason, the alarm on his smartphone did not wake him up today. He shifted his attention from his smartphone screen to his boyfriend, who was still fast asleep on the bed with him with furrowed brows while muttering in a voice he could not understand (Alan had a habit to speak in another language whenever he slept) as soon as he tried to get out of bed and planned to get ready. "Alan, I'm going to be late if I don't get up and leave right now..." he let go of Alan's arm that was still hugging him. His attempts to gently wake the man up did not seem to work as instead of letting go of his embrace and letting him go, the man pulled him into his arms so that he could feel the sensation of Alan's body, which managed to
It was difficult for him to concentrate on the presentation of Katherine's plan of revenge right now. His mind was constantly filled with various questions running through his mind. If his thoughts could be equated with a diagram and could be presented as a percentage, then eighty-five per cent of his attention was focused on Marie's sudden change in attitude since yesterday. He really did not understand that part. What did he do yesterday to deserve Marie's cold treatment other than he caught a fever from the ibuprofen he drank yesterday? Nothing. He had apologized to her. He already spared his time to make a dinner menu for the woman despite his body shouting at him to give them some rest. This morning, he still had time to make Marie a glass of Palm Sugar Iced Coffee with bread covered full of strawberry jam and mayonnaise––her favourite breakfast––as usual. Even though he knew pretty well that the combination of those things could not be considere
It was pretty obvious that Kate hesitated slightly as she tried to express her opinion. The woman repeatedly tried to divert the conversation by directing him to listen to her follow-up plans, but he kept forcing Kate to explain what she meant earlier until she gave up on it. "Okay, I will just tell you some bad news I don't think you want to hear, Boss," Katherine finally said, frustratedly after all of her ways to dodge his question ended with failure. "It might be possible that she knows that she is in danger right now, and her sudden change in attitude was simply as a result of her decision which she thought was the only way she could do to protect you, Boss." "Protect me?" he repeated, confused. "Yes, and—"
Keith had left the room five minutes ago due to sudden business she did not know about (and she did not dare to ask her boss for the reason), but she was still staying there. Sitting on her chair while reviewing the plan she had devised while looking for loopholes in her plan so she could perfect her boss' request for a revenge plan. It was also fortunate that her boss did not hear all of her plans in full, as that meant she had plenty of extra time to perfect her plans. At least, the Operational Research courses I and II, along with the analytical courses she had studied when she majored in Mathematics at university did not end in vain. Not many people know that Mathematics could help make one's life easier. And in her case, she always applied what she learned when she was in college to her current job. To be honest, she was qui

[Sempione Park, Ponte delle Sirenete]Marie walked down the path in Sempione Park desperately. It had been almost a week since Keith had left home and asked for a divorce from her, making her immediately cancel all her work schedules for the next month to look for Keith.Armed with the information she got from Keith's parents that Keith went to Italy, precisely in Milan, she decided to book a ticket to Italy in a hurry.For days, she travelled the streets of Milan. She did not have any free time to explore the biggest and most complete fashion shopping centre there or visit tourist attractions. She only tried the local food, but only because she had to fill her stomach with food while trying to find her husband.Unfortunately, she had been in this place for a week, and she could not find her husband there. She was so stupid that she forgot to ask her mother-in-law where exactly Keith had gone in her panic. Now, she was confused, cursing her stupidity. How could she find Keith? Milan
A few days later...Marie walked into her mansion feeling uncertain after parking her car in the garage. Her memories of what happened a few days ago at her extended family's house still felt like yesterday. It was hard for her to accept the fact that all this time, her husband had been hiding the fact about his identity as the head of the mafia. Also, the fact that her husband decided to kill all of her extended family, leaving only her father, Uncle Charles, and Cecilia.For days, she tried to understand why Keith did it. She rented a hotel on the edge of Rose City as a way to calm down. Not to the Pacifica Hotel, considering the fact that it was a gift from Dean Aldebrando as their wedding present, which would make Keith aware of her whereabouts. She wanted to get away from it all. He wanted to have time to himself, to reflect on everything. But last night, he realised one thing. Everything that happened didn't matter anymore. She found that compared to having her husband by he
Cecilia looked at her father who still didn't dare to look at her when she arrived at Gilbert's cafe ten minutes ago. She knew that her father was a rigid, military type of person, so it was difficult for her father to admit all of Keith's statements about the reasons behind her parents' deaths. That was the reason why she waited until her father was ready to tell her everything. But ten minutes was not a fast time, and she wanted to hear the truth directly from her father's lips, not from anyone else."I know this sounds hard for you to accept, but I'm doing all this for you-"PLAKK!!!Her attention was diverted from her father to Keith and Marie. The sound of her cousin's slap told her instantly that Keith had confessed everything. And her cousin, she assumed, could not take it well."You secretly helped my company, I tried to understand it, although I still don't like your ways," Marie's eyes glazed over. "But you even went as far as killing all of my extended family, leaving only
Hearing Aura's exclamation gave him the signal to get out of this place immediately. The atmosphere in Hermann's living room gets even more chaotic when he told Gina the true facts about the husband she's been married to all this time. Now, Gina and Freddy were fighting again, making a scene, which made everyone around them were trying hard to break up the two people.Taking advantage of the chaos created there, Keith used the opportunity to put his revolver into his waistband, then pulled the hands of his father-in-law, as well as Uncle Charles, to leave this place immediately. "What's wrong?" Uncle Charles looked confused while running, but still complied with Keith's request to leave the Hermann mansion. "Why are we leaving-""Save your questions for later!" exclaimed Keith. He whistled loudly once he reached the gate. It did not take him long to find a saloon car appearing in front of them. The car door opened automatically."After you."Alfred without hesitation got into the ca
James Hermann was the first to move from his spot. The old man's jaw hardened, furious with anger."What a sassy mouth you have, young man!" James Hermann's hand grabbed Keith by the collar, but Keith did not lose his composure in the slightest. "On what basis are your false accusations?!""Grandpa! Let go of him!" Marie exclaimed in a panic once she realised what James Hermann was doing to Keith."Don't try to stop me, you unworthy grandchild!" James hissed, his gaze still fixed on Keith. "My business is with this moron! Answer my question!""I get this, Marie. Rest assured," Keith signalled to Marie to remain calm, and Marie reluctantly complied. "I have evidence to back up my statement just now. But first, let go of your grip. Do you think I can continue my speech in this position?"James seemed to consider Keith's words because the old man finally complied with Keith and released his grip, sitting back in his chair. Keith reached for his smartphone, calling Alan."Alan, bring Mr T
All the way to her grandfather's house, Marie felt restless. The fire incident with her personal assistant made her anxious. Derek told her that it might be the work of her uncle who wanted to spread terror in Rose City, but she wasn't sure if that was the only reason.What's more, Keith neither cared nor tried to bring up the matter when she tried to broach the subject. Keith just assumed that it was a coincidence—nothing to think about.Now, he was in the living room, along with his father's entire extended family, attending his grandfather's birthday party. His hand shook the stem of the wine glass filled with red wine served with an uncertain feeling. He did not see Cecilia anywhere at all.Was Cecilia not coming? Or perhaps, her cousin was late for something?She took out her smartphone and sent a short message to Cecilia before cramming it back into her handbag."Your face is so tense. Is it because you're still thinking about your company going bankrupt?"Gina Hermann, her cous
"Welcome back, Mrs. Clark."Rosemarie answered her household manager's greeting with a faint murmur, taking off her high heels and slipping into house slippers. Fatigue enveloped her after almost a day of staring at the computer screen without stopping and also solving business problems with new investors.“Yes…”"I wanted to inform you that an invitation letter was sent for you today.""Invitation letter? From whom?"“From your grandfather, I think…”Marie suddenly felt uneasy. His tiredness vanished in an instant, and he went straight to his household manager, and the old woman handed him an envelope containing the invitation letter that the woman meant.As soon as she learned the contents of the letter, her blood boiled, filled with the anger that was so attached. The letter was an official invitation from her paternal grandfather,To Mrs. Rosemarie Clark.You are invited to attend James Hermann's 64th birthday. The event will be held tomorrow, at 16:00. Wear formal clothes.How c
Keith tapped his fingers on the table after taking a sip of the mineral water that one of the servers had just served him. His eyes glanced out the window of the restaurant, waiting for the arrival of someone.Currently, he was in the restaurant built by his grandfather at the Hotel Pacifica as a gift for his marriage to Marie.He chose this restaurant for a simple reason: it was his, and it was filled with people he could trust. So he did not need to look for hidden places or need privacy to talk about anything confidential.“Can you imagine? There were three fire incidents in a row! Not to mention the presence of journalists who several times tried to cover the news by claiming to be the family of the fire victims! I don't know if they've lost empathy or what, but this whole thing is definitely weird to me!”Keith thought back to his wife's words once he managed to take care of this suspicious person. Marie was quite surprised to find Derek Skylar coming with him, but his wife's att
