"Here it is, Beautiful. A present from my boss," the woman pointed to Keith. Then the woman pulled the chair opposite her while supporting her head with her both hand, resting on the table.

"Maybe I should search for another bench while giving you two some time alone," Marie winked as she walked behind Aura, to which she returned a grateful gaze, thanking her best friend for being sensitive with this matter.

"Is it okay for you to sit here with me?"

"Actually, no. But I already asked permission to my boss over there to give me fifteen minutes of rest," the woman pointed at Keith, who was waving his hand briefly at the two of them, and she replied excitedly. "No need to worry about me. Why don't you just eat them and tell me your opinion on our menu?"

"Then, how about you?"

"I'm just enough with looking at you. Besides, I don't like sweets, but I guess you do."

Aura's answer managed to provoke the blush on her cheeks. Sh

    Aura gave a list of orders ordered by a lone old man who had just arrived at their cafe to Thomas—her part-timer, who was now able to do his job well without making a mistake to immediately prepare the order. All thanks to her promise to give the man the chance to make his first coffee next week, following Keith's suggestion the other day. If she knew it would be turned like this, she should have done it in the first place."Aura?"Keith called out to her name in a whisper while she was at the cash register, causing her to turn to face the man at once."I've given you a chance to approach her. Don't forget your job.""I know, Boss," she said when she saw her friend's tense face. "But the evidence I found is still scanty.""So you still have no progress with the investigation?"She had no choice but to confirm Keith's question weakly. Honestly, the mission Keith gave this time was more difficult than all her previous mission

    Tatius returned the smartphone back to Alan, who immediately stuffed it into his semi-formal light brown coat pocket without checking it. The man's hands were full of their belongings, which was much more than their belongings when they first set their foot in Bali. He, on the other side, only carried two bags of gifts, which he planned to gave with all his co-workers at the restaurant where he worked, and Alan's co-workers—since his boyfriend did not have a good eye to choose souvenirs for his co-workers. It was not too heavy, so he repeatedly offered to help carry half of their belongings that Alan was carrying when he realized that his boyfriend was having a hard time carrying all of them. However, the man refused his offer, arguing that he could still carry all of them by himself.So stubborn, he muttered to himself. But he still loved his boyfriend anyway.The thing that annoyed him most was the fact that his boyfriend still kept treating him like a sick person

    Alan had just finished tidying up their belongings when they returned from their week's holiday to Bali. Most of them were souvenirs that Tatius bought as gifts that were given to his coworkers at the restaurant where the man worked as a farewell gift for resigning from his job yesterday after he had the opportunity to discuss his decision with Tatius.He knew that his boyfriend had objected when he made the offer because he knew very well that Tatius liked his job. But the man did not protest with his decision at all, just agreed to his offer. Even though he had prepared the worst thing; greeted by Tatius's relentless scolding, which he thought would reject his idea, considering that he had been working there for six years. Whatever changes the image of his boyfriend's reaction, he did not care. The important thing, Tatius willingness to accept his offer to work at Keith's cafe was more than enough for him. And it meant, he would not lose Tatius.Wiping the swea

    Keith stared at the headquarters of the Skylar mafia group that stood majestically in front of him, along with the sound of his car door closing. His left hand took off the sunglasses he was wearing and stuck them in the pocket under his jacket, raising an eyebrow. In front of the building were several formally dressed people with perfectly trained bodies on guard with their arms crossed in front of their torso, wearing a harsh face that managed to intimidate anyone who tried to enter the premises without any interest.Except for him, of course. Also, Alan, who had already stood beside him with enthusiastic eyes as the man must have been hoping that their sudden encounter would end in chaos—something that man had always liked."Listen, Alan," he leaned close to Alan, whispered. "Don't do anything stupid until you get instructions from me. Understand?"Alan grumbled, followed by a long sigh of disappointment from the man. "Boring. But I will try."

    The man asked the burly man that escorted Keith before, to leave him and the man in a fairly large and spacious room. The man then invited him to sit down, while the man himself still sat on his chair, rested his hands on his desk and forming a pyramid. The man's eyes remained fixed on him as if the man was observing him like a jewel to make her stifled. Only the clock in the wall near the windows at the right side of the man's desk ticking, with the clean sound of the air conditioner doing its great job of cooling the room, while at the outside of the room he was right now, he could still hear Alan arguing with Skylar's men.Ah, it was happening again. Looked like his hot-blooded best friend was making a scene again. He could only hope that his friend would still remember his warning before entering the building properly, so as not to cause trouble for both parties."Frankly, I still can't believe the news of your marriage to that woman named Clark," the man sai

    Keith was surprised when the man, who also took a deep breath like him while he was looking at the man, in amazement.“Damn it! It must be Ivan again! That jerk ... always does nothing but creating troubles!" the man grunted and cursed whoever it was who had the name Ivan before looking back at him. "I'm really sorry for making a stupid scene like this and make you feel uncomfortable. Ivan is always like that, so irritable. Usually, he is the one who always replaces me doing work in the field because I'm busy taking care of my company."His position, oddly enough, was the same as him. Perhaps, the rumours he had heard were not really about Derek, but Ivan—if he dared to believe that man's word."You can take what I said earlier and rely on me whenever you want me. I'm willing to help you any time," said the man as he walked toward the door of the room, opened the door to the room and invited him to go out ahead of the man while the man walked after hi

    Marie watched the share price of her company move in an increasingly sinister direction on her computer screen. She kept tapping the pen she had been holding for two hours to calm herself down, which had become a habit whenever she felt anxious. In the past, when she was a child and always got worried easily, she grew a bad habit of biting her nails, making her mother angry. Her mother thought it was a bad habit that would damage her nails and not good for a woman to built that bad habit as her mother was a traditional woman who thought that woman should act just like society always told her. So her mother taught her to transfer the bad habit to another place, tapping things, just like the pen she was holding right now.Still not seeing anything good from her computer screen, she took a deep sigh, stopped tapping her pen and move her attention to the piles of documents on her des

    Keith let out a lethargic sigh when he saw the message he had sent half an hour ago had not yet been answered by his wife. There was only a sign that his chat had been read by the woman, and that was all. Yet, he had already taken the time to hurry back to the cafe, hoping that he could see his wife, who might be already waiting for him and spend her lunchtime at his cafe like she did yesterday, before returning to her office.He already spent his time to came up with a lot of reason if Marie asked him the reason why she did not find him or maybe making her waiting for a long time.

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

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
