"No need to worry about me," Keith smiled a little at Marie. "And about that creepy person, I will take care of them. You should go." “But your condition still hasn't completely recovered–” "I'm fine, trust me. Only I know the condition of my body,” Keith interrupted by releasing his seat belt, then immediately approached Marie, and gave a lightning kiss attack on Marie's forehead so that Marie couldn't move as a result of it. "I'm off." Without looking at Marie, Keith dashed towards the suspicious figure he saw just now, disappearing from the crowd. The feeling of fear of losing Keith welled up in her heart, creating a feeling of uneasiness that she couldn't describe. Even so, what Keith said earlier made sense. “I mean, can you help me to loosen up my work time?” Suddenly Marie remembered Derek's request to her earlier this afternoon, which discouraged her from getting out of the car after turning off the car's engine. He got back into the car and took out his smartphone. Reluc
Tatius Anderson could not help but feel bored after being stuck in a hospital room for almost a week. His condition was much better than before, and due to the attack that happened to him at Gilbert's cafe some time ago, the team of doctors decided to replace his medicine with another type of medicine that had much milder side effects than the medicine he always took. All of the reason was that, before he got his heart transplant last year, he signed up voluntarily (and with Alan's permission, of course, as the only family he has) to participate in a medical trial project to find new drugs to treat the pre- and post-organ transplant effects. inside the body. He could no longer join the programme on the grounds that when the project took place, it was happening at the same time as the day his application to be a heart organ donor was accepted. So the project was finally carried out by another patient, who had just received an organ donor several months ago. And now, based on the info
Tatius shook his head slowly, and Christ's doctor seemed to understand his hint to rest. "In addition, you can now walk around the hospital grounds to speed up your recovery process. It does not matter what time of day you are going to do it, as long as you are exposed to sunlight or walk as best you can. Thirty minutes should be enough to start it." "I will try to do it." "Don't push yourself too hard, all right? If you feel tired, or could not walk, you can start in a wheelchair. The most important thing is your health." "I know. I will be watching over him," Cecilia said. "Perfect. Your words are so doubtful, to be honest, but I will try to believe whatever you said, Cecilia." "Oi! Did you forget who accompanied him while he was in the hospital, you madman!" Christ ignored Cecilia's tantrum, flashing a small smile at Tatius. "Then, I have to go. Since I need to take care of another patient," Christ smiled kindly at Tatius before his attention shifted to Cecilia. "Thanks to y
Alan's voice when greeting him just now was deep and calm, always managing to make Tatius feel better just by hearing it. The voice that always called him 'babe' or sometimes 'baobei' with a thick Chinese accent always sounded sexy to Tatius' ears. If possible, he actually wanted Alan to call him 'mon chouchou or 'mon bébé' one day, rather than baobei or some other phrase in Chinese or Italian that he did not understand very well. In the same voice. Okay, he knew for a fact that his boyfriend could not speak French. He knew it very well. That being said, in the past, when he was still working in an Italian restaurant, he often heard some of his colleagues who had French lovers always calling their lovers by those nicknames. And he could not help but find those nicknames to express their love pretty sexy... Hmm, but as far as he knew, Alan also spoke fluent Italian, thanks to Keith's influence. Was it possible that if Alan had completed his mission, he could ask Alan to occasionally
Tatius cleared his throat for a moment before continuing his words. "The doctor just informed me that my condition is getting better thanks to the new drugs and the treatment I got during my hospitalisation here. Oh, and they also prescribed a new drug to replace my old medication, with fewer side effects. "Do you still remember that new drug trial programme I signed up for before my heart transplant surgery last year?" "Yes, I still remember," Alan replied faintly. "Oh, hold on! hold on! Does that mean..." "The doctor said my condition is getting better and better than before. So, since two days ago, they prescribed a new drug to replace my old medication, with fewer side effects. Do you still remember that new drug trial program I signed up for before my heart transplant last year?" "Yes, I still remember that project. I did not agree at that time since I was afraid I would lose you, but you still insisted, and it left me with no choice ...," Alan replied faintly. "Oh, hold on! D
For a few moments, silence enveloped the room where the two of them were. There was only the sound of the room heating machine on the grounds that it was the middle of winter, the sound of the analogue clock ticking once every second, and the water heating kettle that Cecilia had brought with her so she could make ginger tea anytime and anywhere. He held each other's hands, and lowered his head, not daring to look at Cecilia, who until now was still waiting for an answer from him without even trying to speak for a bit. "You know what, Tatius?" Cecilia finally pulled away from Tatius a few minutes later, looking at him with a serious expression. "I know that maybe I sound like I'm forcing you to say it." He did not say anything, remaining silent while Cecilia continued her words. "But for me, you have become the most important person in my life. You are just as important as Alan and also my foster father. No, no, you are the most important person in my life for me! So, you can tell
Keith ran after the person pointed out by Marie earlier with all his might, past the crowd of people that was getting bigger and bigger, until he had a little trouble and almost lost track of the weirdo. It was quite difficult to follow the strange figure's trail, considering the condition of his body, which was still not fully recovered, and also the many people who crowded there without him knowing what they were doing there apart from watching the flames get bigger. "Bastard..." Keith muttered harshly. "Oi, freak! Stop where you are right now!" The strange figure he chased did not stop at all, but instead continued to accelerate their running pace with a look of horror that could be seen from the look in their eyes as soon as they realised Keith's presence. It was difficult for Keith to know what the strange figure's face looked like on the grounds that it was hindered by a dull blue hoodie jacket with a hoodie covering the strange person's face, plus a mask. While Keith kept ru
Derek's next words made Keith furious. He moved from his place, unable to hold back his irritation any longer, so he landed his fist right into the man's solar plexus. "Ouch! That's hurt, Keith!" Derek shouted while wincing at the pain from Keith's fist. "What reason makes you think I deserve your fist!?" "No reason. You are such a pain in the ass," Keith patted his hands in satisfaction, enjoying Derek's groans of pain. "What the hell, did I do!?" "Disturbing my train of thought. And I'm not in a good mood right now," said Keith lightly, not feeling guilty at all. "Well, since you mentioned Silvano and also the fire incident in this area, do you mind to continue your explanation?" "Fine. If it weren't for the fact how cute your face is and my promise to Marie, I wouldn't have done it!" Derek took a deep breath, stood back up straight once the pain that had attacked him just now was no longer as painful as before. Derek patted his formal coat before continuing his speech. "Silvano

[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
