2022-02-20 23:57:39Patricia took a sip of the red velvet drink that Aura had just made for her fifteen minutes ago, distracting her attention from the screen of her fourteen-inch Chromebook which she had now closed after she spent almost four full hours staring at her laptop screen while stretching her stiff muscles.
Well, she should better take her time to rest. Or in other words, it was another way for her to try to escape from the deadline which was only a week away. Long story short, she was using her time right now to escape from reality. The target word count she set for her work today was two thousand five hundred words, but the fact which was displayed in the upper right corner of her PureWriter app only showed her that she only managed to write one thousand two hundred words so far. The number was still quite far from the target, she had to admit, but her brain was already stuck, so it was difficult to come up with new ideas that she could incorporate into her story.

For all day long, her mind could not move from the last message Keith sent to her. [In half an hour, I think] Reading the short reply to Keith's message provoked a butterfly in her stomach. She could sense that something was wrong with Keith, but what was that? Her brain was struggling to find any evidence of her suspicions about Keith's strange behaviour when her husband was asking her for permission to go out with Cecilia four hours ago. Speaking of Cecilia, her cousin's behaviour when Keith asked her permission was also very strange. After all, since when did Cecilia and Keith who rarely see each other suddenly become this close? Especially Cecilia. She remembered exactly that Cecilia was not someone who would just give someone a ride for free for no apparent reason, not into the category of people who want to let other people ride in their cars unless they already know the person. So obviously, giving Keith a ride piqued her sudden curiosity. An e

She looked at the man who now had a gentle expression on her. The man then propped his chin on his right hand, which was leaning on the cafe table, with his two bright brown eyes looking straight at her. It gave her an uncomfortable sensation, so she drifted away from the man who was her rival when they were in high school. “What are you––” “I have a younger sister,” the man continued, not paying attention to the confusion evident on her face that clearly could be seen right now. “My younger sister’s name is Hazel Skylar. She is cute, very genius, reliable, and soft-hearted. My mother really wanted her to be the heir to our family business. But the thing is she has absolutely no interest in continuing my family business even though my mom always pushed her to accept the position.” Derek's words piqued his curiosity, so this time he decided to give Derek his full attention. “And, I also have a super genius older brother who is a jerk, always playing ar

Marie: [Did something happen?] [Call me when you are done.] [Let's go home together, okay?] [I will wait until any time] Keith turned off his smartphone screen, did not reply to Marie's message that he had just received a few seconds ago. He bit his lower lip, turning his attention from his smartphone screen back to Alan, who was still sleeping as the result of the anaesthetic effect. He did not know if he should laugh at a time like this and feel grateful, or even feel disappointed in himself for failing to protect his group members. Indeed, Alan's condition was still much better than the condition of his members who died from Silvano's attack. And if he thought clearly about it, his best friend rarely took his chance to take some days off since joining his group when he returned from Italy and founded Aldebrando's group in Rose city. Until finally some time ago he had to force the man to take a day off by going to Bali with Tatius, resul

"Derek? Wait a moment. Did I just miss something? Why did I hear the name Derek from your mouth, Aura Chen?” There was no sound from Aura after hearing his question. Only the silence and the faint sound of people talking in the cafe as the new background of their call, making him even more irritated. What was with the people around him? Give him a break… He massaged between his eyebrows after taking a deep breath, squealing in annoyance when he found Cecilia still in the room. "Why are you still here?" "What? You mean I have no right to be here?” Cecilia instead replied to his question in a tone that was just as curt as her, standin

Good. Very good. Everything around him was nothing but getting worse and worse, he mumbled to himself. He glanced out of the car window without trying to break the silence that was created in Cecilia's car as soon as he heard all of Alan's confessions just now in the room and left his headquarters to return to his cafe a few moments later. His head leaned against Cecilia's car window, closing both of his eyes, letting one of the local Rose city radio stations on the air with the radio announcer's voice very unpleasant to hear. On a normal day, maybe he would ask Cecilia, who was now focusing on the highway, to turn off the radio. But now, he needed it. He needed something to distract him from what had happened today.

On the balcony of her apartment, Aura leaned half of her body against the back of the balcony. Her fingers tapped on the balcony railing, suppressing the old urge to smoke that she had suppressed since two years ago so as not to tempt her to smoke again. Her thoughts were frantic, still on what Katherine had said a few hours earlier when she called her. “Alan just arrived at our headquarters, but his condition was in bad shape. The medical team is trying to treat his wound right now. Keith asked me to call you and ask you to stay at the cafe. You need to make sure that everything continues to run normally so the enemy does not get suspicious." She bit her lower lip, suppressing the anxiety that was growing in her mind. “You idiot!

The question Patricia had just asked to her with a super innocent face (which she had to admit, so cute she almost tempted to kiss her girlfriend in that very instant), created a crushing blow inside her. The woman already knew about the situation that was threatening Marie, and it seemed she had no other choice but to tell everything she knew about the people who were stalking Marie. Yes, except for the other identity as one of Aldebrando's informants and confidants, which she would not be able to tell Patricia. Keith forbade her and all the members of Aldebrando to bring anything related to Aldebrando if it would have to do with the identity of the man he was desperately hiding from everyone and his obsession with living as an ordinary person. Although she was quite dubious about the definition of 'ordinary person' from her bes

“A lot of things happened before we came here,” Keith replied nonchalantly, walking straight into his apartment after taking off his shoes without waiting for her to give permission to enter her apartment. "And I do not want to even talk about it. Where is Marie?" “She is inside, Boss. Safe and sound, no injury. Inside the living room.” “Good,” Keith breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing her words, patting him on the shoulder a few times. “Grazie, Aura [Thanks, Aura].” Before she allowed the man who was her boss at both of her workplaces to walk into his apartment any further, she managed to grab Keith's arm quickly. “Before I let you see your wife, answer my question first, Boss.” "You sure

[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
Our Agreement Chapter 301
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.

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
