It would be a lie if she said she was not happy to see her husband, Keith Gilbert, who walked into her office room with such confidence. Saved her in a very cool way (of course, it was all from her point of perspective, and she did not care if it was just part of her delusion or not).
But clearly, her joy was mixed with her shattered self-esteem with the fact that Keith had saved her again at a critical moment for the second time––the third time if she also put with the fact that Derek Skylar had told her a while ago. Letting him protect her clearly violated the pact she promised Keith's parents when she proposed to him.
Moreover, she was still curious. How could Keith always appear in such a critical situation? How did the man manage to dodge James Walker's attack? It was clearly impossible, considering that James used a gun as his weapon when he attacked Keith without hesitation, while she knew full well that Keith was carrying nothing but himself.

Cecilia got out of her car as soon as she arrived at the parking area of her penthouse building. She jogged around her car, opening the door for Tatius, who had looked dispirited since this morning. One of her hands opened the car door while her other hand immediately positioned itself on the top of Tatius's head, making sure that the man who had been making that kind of expression since the morning she picked him up for reasons she did not understand. "We have arrived," she closed her car door, then walked to the trunk of her car and pulled out Tatius' black suitcase. Curiosity mixed with anxiety made her unable to bear the question that had been bothering her for a long time. "Is something bothering you?" The man did not immediately answer her question. He seemed so busy wrestling with his own thoughts until she had to ask th
Leaving Tatius wondering what she meant by what she just said, she continued walking down the corridors until they arrived at her penthouse. They let go of Tatius's hand, gesturing for Tatius to come closer as she pressed her penthouse pin, showing it to Tatius so he could go in and out of his penthouse without having to rely on her. After the door opened, she ushered Tatius inside. The man's face was instantly filled with amazement that the man did not just hide as soon as his feet stepped inside. “It is very spacious…” Tatius walked around his penthouse. Then the man's attention was drawn to the living room area, which faces directly the gazebo with a small garden as a result of her hobby of gardening, which she always did in her spare time. The man turned around, facing her with an expectant look. "Can I go there?" "Of course you can. Why not?" she chuckled at Tatius' cute reaction, leaving the man's briefcase near one of the sofa chairs in the living room, leadin
Friendly and warm-hearted, huh? It seemed he had to rethink how Cecilia Esther thought or her perspective for judging people. He felt so. It was clear what was in front of him right now was a bear-type man. Yes, he called the man who introduced himself as Charles Hermann just like that in his mind when he met Cecilia Esther's adoptive father. Stature and had a muscular body just like any military man, with thin lips and a tall chin--a sign that the man liked practical and tactical things like the figures on the faces of soldiers in general. The man's body was so big compared to his body, which obviously that the man did not get that perfect body from the gym like most men do (except him, of course, considering that high-intensity exercise was a mortal sin for his heart condition), but from the results of natural physical exercise
The man's question now made him retract his assumption about the man's figure just now. He swallowed hard, feeling the nervousness that suddenly overtook him as soon as he heard the man's question just now. "Ah, sorry. I should have changed my question. Knowing my daughter’s behaviour pretty well, I am sure that it is definitely my daughter who approached you aggressively," the man chuckled, with a laugh that actually sounded sinister in his ears, yet at least managed to reduce the nervousness that had hit him just now. "I am just curious. Because you know, Kid, my only daughter was not in a good state after the person she loved did not reciprocate her feelings and decided to marry another person a few months ago. You know, broken-heart-things issue. Do youngsters nowadays still use that term?” "Well, we are still using that term
Keith unbuttoned the shirt he was wearing one by one, loosened the collar of his shirt when he took a deep breath as soon as he closed their mansion door and motioned for Marie to enter first. As usual, Larch ran with half-jump steps excitedly towards him and Marie at the same time. "Hi, Larch." That was all Marie said as soon as Larch pressed her face against his wife's right leg. As if realizing that Marie was not in a good shape, Larch changed direction, looking at him with an angelic gaze he could hardly refuse. He knelt near Larch, carrying Larch's body while rubbing the top of Larch's head. "I know, Princess," he whispered softly to Larch, who looked at him curiously at Marie, who was now lying on the sofa, groaning in annoyance. "I am also worried about your mot
Carefully, Keith got up from Marie's bed without making the slightest sound so as not to wake his wife, although he doubted the possibility that she would be disturbed by the noise he might make considering how quickly Marie fell asleep and was not disturbed by loud noises like anything including gunshots like a while ago. For a moment, he turned his body slightly, looking at Marie who was still sleeping with a face that was much more innocent like a child, not noticing his absence in bed with her. He then cancelled his intention to leave Marie, took a moment to look at Marie's face, then went to the woman's dressing table, took micellar water and cotton. Carefully, he removed the remaining thick makeup that Marie was wearing to cover up the scars that were still clearly visible from the fight against Silvano at that time. He was
So how about dinner with your new family-to-be, Miss Patricia Caroline? Or should I start calling you Miss soon-to-be Patricia Chen?” Marie smiled slyly upon seeing Patricia's reaction, who rolled her eyes lazily upon hearing her words. She smiled at Keith, who had just delivered today's breakfast menu to her table before serving the other guests at her husband's cafe––a sandwich and a cup of cappuccino instead of Palm Sugar Iced Coffee she had as per usual for her breakfast. Well, she had to admit that the idea of having breakfast outside her mansion was the first thing she ever did in her life. Not only did she lose the chance to appreciate Keith’s perfect body (It was a shame not having a chance to force Keith take off his tops and leaving him only wearing his jeans and wearing an apron as per usual), but she also had a bitter
Marie fell silent at the question Patricia had just asked while sucking her lower lip. Time and time again, she looked alternately between Patricia, then at her husband, and looked out the window of her husband's cafe with a worried expression she had tried so hard to hide it from her face. “You did not answer my question earlier. And I know the meaning of your face that you are making right now, Marie,” Patricia said again when she did not get the answer she wanted from her. “It is not a good sign, I can feel it. Is this what you were talking about a while ago?” She stuttered, as she was still trying hard to cover up her panic by staying calm, letting out a huffing sound with a flat face she had tried to wear as soon as possible. "Wh––Which kind of face do you mean, Pattie?"

[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
