The man laughed softly in response to her response just now, snorting softly. "If I had cooperated with your uncle, I wouldn't have come late and attacked the Silvano members who were just trying to stop the ambulance."
"It could have been a part of your plan with my uncle, so you wouldn't be suspected by me."
The man laughed softly again at his assumption just now. "Well, there's nothing wrong with your suspicions..."
"So

Her heart was pounding as a result of the anxiety that hit her when she heard Derek's words just now. The man told her to stay behind the man, and as one who carried nothing but her Dior tote bag along with two cups of coffee in both of her hands, she had no choice but to rely on Derek who already held his gun, aiming at every side of the room they were entering right now. "I will keep you safe," whispered Derek as he continued to point his gun in all directions with wary eyes. The way Derek told her at the moment did remind her of what Keith did to her paternal grandfather right after she almost got killed by her paternal grandfather and Uncle Arthur after rejecting their requirements to give her company to them as the price for helping her company out of financial problems that hit the company at that time. He could clearly hear the commotion of the scuffles which made him more and more unable to stop worrying about Keith's condition. Is her husband okay?
The situation was clearly much worse than he had anticipated. Keith stared at the ceiling of his room with an uncertain feeling. After he managed to defeat the intruders he thought were from Silvano's group who still wanted his death and attacked him, he laid back on his bed and received an ultimatum from the doctor, extending his time to remain under the doctor's supervision until his condition was fully recovered. Silvano, you jerk, he cursed inwardly. His jaw hardened just by cursing Uncle Arthur's existence in his mind. If the opportunity arose, he would use it to kill the man with his own hands.
For a moment, he was flabbergasted, not expecting that she was speaking to him in Italian, even though her dialect sounded strange to him. When she changed her body position into a sitting position and was about to take her smartphone from Marie's hand, the woman immediately took the smartphone away from her."Who told you that I would give it to you for free?"Marie's question left her confused, while her smartphone kept ringing."What do you want me to do?"The woman laughed softly at his question just now, brought her face closer to him until they were only a few centimetres apart and he could feel the flowery perfume still lingering on her body, causing him to unconsciously gulp, resisting the urge to undress Marie and burrying his face into Marie's neck, enjoying th
It took his maternal grandfather about forty-five minutes to arrive at the hospital where he was being treated – and now he was cursing the traffic jams in Rose city that had made his waist ache. In fact, what is the relationship between the traffic jam that has become the daily diet of the residents of this city and the back pain suffered by his maternal grandfather."If I say there is a connection, yes there is!" his maternal grandfather immediately
It took her twice as hard to divide her time between his job as CEO and much needed by all the employees who were still loyal to his company when his company was on the verge of going bankrupt (and he is very grateful to his employees who decided to stay) and took the time to care for Keith.Even though Felicia had told him many times that she didn't have to worry about her company once she found out that Keith was being treated in the hospital after the sudden attack launched by his uncle, Uncle Arthur. What he didn't understand was why his super greedy uncle chose to attack Keith's cafe which clearly had nothing to do with his rejection of the proposals made by his uncle and his father's grandfather to help his company out of the crisis.Was it because Keith had interrupted his private meeting with the two most influential people in the Hermann family and threatened the two of them not to touch him again then?It could be so. If that's the case, it's bad
"Yes?"He raised an eyebrow, asking the old man to repeat the question he just asked, and the man didn't mind repeating his question with a friendly smile etched on his face that he felt could intimidate anyone the old man was talking to at this time. The first time he met his grandfather Keith at the hotel restaurant Pacifica, he did not have time to carefully observe the figure of the old man because his mind was too focused on his disappointment with Keith.All he could think about was that his disappointment had done him no good other than nearly hurting Keith over it."Yeah, I guess I can spare some time--""Va bene [It's great]!" the man immediately exclaimed in delight at his response before he could finish, signaling him to follow the old man's direction. Beside him, there was a young woman who was about the same age as her husband in a simple elegant style of clothing that accentuated the feminine yet strong element that matched the image of the
She would be lying if she said that she didn't feel the least bit tense sitting opposite her husband's grandfather, who was engrossed in humming the tune of a foreign-sounding song with a happy face as if enjoying entertainment. Maybe a song in Italian, considering Keith had mentioned his life in Italy with his husband's grandfather for more than four years. Supported by the way Keith's parents spoke, which was thick with Italian dialect, the deduction made his deduction even more convincing."A lot of non-Italians always identify us with espresso and pizza, and I can't blame him for that."Why did the old man suddenly talk about those two things? What do what people think about Italy have to do with what they will talk about later?Speaking of that, he still didn't even know what the pushy old man wanted to discuss who was now winking at a nurse who was finishing her lunch hour, to which the female nurse responded with an embarrassed blush and a polite no
Alan fiddled with his car keys when he got to the front of the hospital building before stuffing it into his jacket pocket and walking into the hospital building. The last time he visited this hospital was when he forced his boyfriend to do a check-up before they went on vacation to Bali because he was worried about the man's condition, although in the end the doctor who treated Tatius' condition told him there was nothing to worry about.And now, for almost two weeks, he was back in the routine he didn't want to go back to. Several pairs of people's eyes—both hospital staff and patients there—simultaneously locked their gazes on him as if his presence had managed to create an invisible magnet on them all—as soon as he walked into the building. And of course, it wouldn't be him if he wasn't using his charms and enjoying the attention that people gave him.A nurse accidentally dropped her file when she looked at her, and she quickly picked it up, retur

[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
