Katherine was initially trying to leave the cafe at first. But she stopped and reconsidered Thomas' request by returning to her chair. She still could not look Thomas straight in the eye, letting her boyfriend pull up the chair in front of her after placing all the food menus on the table and removing the food tray from the empty table next to the man. “I will be here for ten minutes, then I will leave.” “It’s more than enough for me!” Thomas did not say anything to her afterwards. Thomas's eyes were still glued to her, making the atmosphere even more awkward. While she tried to pretend she did not notice, she started to force herself to sip a cup of hot cappuccino that was still letting off hot steam. Her eyes blinked happily as soon as her tongue touched the hot cappuccino that felt so right on her tongue. As usual, Keith always knew the taste of her drink pretty well and got her appetite back in a matter of minutes just by taking a bite of the food or sipping the coffee he made,
Katherine took a deep breath, then let it out slowly, gathering all her courage to make a confession to Thomas. She knew it was a childish confession, which she did not know the result of if she said it. Her hand returned to Thomas's grip. But she had to tell it before she lose her boyfriend for good. Thomas was the first man who did not have any problem with her gender identity, and from her experience, it was difficult to see someone so understanding as Thomas. "Tom?" Katherine called her boyfriend Tom, which made Thomas gasp at her. During her relationship with Thomas until now, she had never had the courage to call her boyfriend by the nickname 'Tom', even though Thomas himself proposed the idea to her on their first date. And right now, she could see how pleased Thomas was when he heard that, making the man smile gently at her. The smile that was in Katherine's eyes, looked like cotton candy. Tom's smile looked so soft and sweet, and it managed to make anyone feel happy and co
Watching the video that Alan had sent via Aura just now actually made him feel satisfied. But seeing Gina Hermann's breakdown was still not enough to make him feel victorious. What Alan did accelerate his plans, and he had to admit that what Alan did was not completely wrong, although he still couldn't stop worrying about Alan. There are still many pieces of his plan awaiting execution from him. The destruction of Gina's marriage, he could tell, was only the beginning of his master plan. He could not, and would not allow the Hermann extended family to recover quickly. Not after those damn old men nearly killed Marie and Larch. Not after Silvano's people killed his men. He had sworn to himself. Anyone who dared to lay their hands on the people closest to him, will not remain silent. Even from one of the reports given by Katherine just now, Silvano's men had started moving towards their new target; the Gilberts--in short, his family. Luckily, he has taken preventive measures by placin
Exactly ten minutes later after Marie called him, Keith saw the figure of his wife arriving in front of his cafe, together with his wife's personal assistant, Felicia. While Felicia was busy looking for a place to park her car, Marie rushed inside the cafe. Weariness was evident on Marie's face as her slender hands opened the cafe door, ignoring the 'closed' signs, and she looked around the room. But the fatigue on that face vanished instantly as soon as Keith approached him."Even though I was just about to tell you that you don't need to pick me up," said Keith as he escorted Marie to the table near the cashier, then served Marie a cup of caffe latte and also a chocolate croissant, both of which were still steaming hot. "Here, take it. You might need it after working so hard. As well as an apology for not being able to make you a packed lunch.""It does not matter. I get it. All you need to do is focus on your health. You can make me a packed lunch again when your condition has full
Keith repeatedly tried to hold back his amusement when he saw Marie's expression all the way to Peter's milk repair shop. The woman didn't even look at him, continuing to whistle happily as she glanced out the window."I know I shouldn't expect much from the repair of the car, but I'm still curious," Marie finally looked at Keith, with bright, sparkling eyes and a constant smile on her red lips. "Is the place still far away?""Expect more? Why not?" said Keith, turning to Viktor. "How long we need until we can reach Peter's place?""Based on the maps and the distance, it will take less than five minutes, I guess."Together with Viktor's answer, the man increased the speed of the car to the maximum, causing Marie and Keith's bodies to be pushed backwards as a result of it."There's been a foreign car following us all along, bo—I mean, Keith," Viktor's brows furrowed seriously, glancing at the rear view. "You guessed right. I've investigated any possible threats as you request.""And?""
Marie could not stop being amazed.If there was one word to describe how she felt right now, she would be using it by now. She was in awe of the car in front of her, and what she saw every second that passed was something she never thought she’d see again.Her eyes looked towards the car in front of her, lost for words. Her favourite baby, the Volkswagen XL 1, which is famous for its elegant and luxurious design (let alone the fact that it was a reward she gave herself as the first success she managed to achieve after she built her company several years ago), completely turned into a car that she did not expect.Even though the last time she saw her car, she did not see any hope there. Her car had been destroyed until it was almost shapeless as it was destroyed by people sent by his extended family when she visited her late mother's grave, causing her to lose hope before Keith offered to take her car to an acquaintance's repair shop.And now, her baby form looked new, completely unfami
Keith was satisfied. After knowing Peter for so long, the man never let him down. He looked at the interior of Marie's car, which had been completely changed by Peter. As for car colours, he was sure that yellow was not Marie's favourite colour. After spending almost half a year living with Marie and observing her fashion sense, he could tell that Marie really liked something elegant. In other words, flashy colours like the colour of this car did not meet Marie's taste. Leaving that aside, Peter had obviously added other useful features that he felt would help Marie protect herself in case he was not beside his wife when Silvano launched a sudden attack to her. He knocked on the front car window and the side window glass, which had been replaced with bulletproof glass. He also saw the dashboard of Marie's car, which had been changed, making it look very futuristic. "Is this really the Gabriella Paradox Ulricht I always use all the time?" Marie's question was filled with disbelief
After saying that, Keith walked over to Peter, pulling the man away from Marie so she could not overhear what he was going to discuss with Peter. "What are you doing?!" hissed Keith, half holding back anger as soon as they were in the corner of the room as he took his hand off Peter. "This is not our deal." "This is our agreement, boss," Peter was even confused by Keith's reaction, which the man felt looked so strange. "In exchange for you letting me repair–" "That is not what I mean!" interrupted Keith curtly, so that Peter did not dare to continue his words. " I mean the colour of the car, I will not complain even though I must admit it is a very tacky colour. But installing AI in a car? Who told you to do it?" "My daughter said it would really help to protect Mrs. Rosemarie from any threats," Peter answered in a trembling voice. "You may not know this, but my daughter is madly in love with your wife. In fact, he already considers your wife as a role model in his life." "Eh? You

[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
