2021-05-23 22:32:01Keith 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. And now, his effort was in vain as Marie did not show her face at his cafe.Would they soon return to a time when that woman was busy thinking about herself and ignoring him like the beginning of their marriage?No, no. Marie must have had other reasons for not being able to reply to his text. Should he pick up Marie after his shift ended?It might be a greatRelated chapters
Our Agreement Chapter 49
Keith got out of the cab, which had now disappeared from his path, dropping it off in the parking lot of the Clark Corp. building—his wife's company—which he had not had a chance to visit since their wedding. For a moment, he spent his time staring at the majestic building. He tightened the oversized white jacket with the accent straps around his shoulders and arms, which was quite successful in dispelling the cold air around him, remembering that the season was now entering autumn, then entering the building. A black-and-white short-collared sweater with upside-down small black triangles patterns, black semi-formal trousers and ankle boots made of vegan leather made his appearance look much younger than his actual age. So many times he found people there looking at him in astonishment. Some even greeted him in a friendly contrived voice, asking the reason for his presence in the building. Many of them thought he was visiting the building to meet his parents. He only rep

He snapped out of his mind when he heard Marie's voice calling out to him, running quickly over to him in his high heels (which always amazed him how all the women did without falling). The woman's bright smile behind her tired face made him feel even more guilty."Gosh! I'm sorry to make you come here," the woman immediately hugged him tightly, then kissed him on the cheek as if they had not seen him in a long time. "My iPhone's battery is dead, so I can't reply to your text earlier. I was just about to go to your cafe when Felicia announced your arrival. Did you wait long?"For now, it was better to pretend he did not know the matter, afraid of hurting Marie's high self-esteem. "No. I just came.""Oh, that is good. I th

The Saturday he had not been waiting for had finally arrived.At his family home, which the last time he had visited his parent was two months after his marriage to Marie, he found his house much busier when they entered the house. Then they greeted by both of his parents, who immediately hugged them full of excessive enthusiasm, especially from his mother."My son doesn't make any trouble for you, Marie?" his mother suddenly coming up with that question while throwing a sharp gaze that always succeeded in making him unable to move when he tried to refute his mother's question."No. Absolutely not, Ma," Marie laughed softly in response to his mother's question. Instead, he found Marie successfully adapting to his family very quickly, seeing how Marie addressed his parents with 'Mama' and 'Papa' without hesitation, while he himself still had trouble addressing his father-in-law as 'Dad'. But considering Marie's family background

Keith returned to mingling into the crowd of people parties, still finding that Marie was strangely able to keep up with the conversation his parents always managed to bore him, but not with Marie. His eyes returned to their task of searching for Caleb's whereabouts near the glass door connected to the back garden, which was also busy and crowded. No need to wait too long for him to find the whereabouts of his younger brother, who apparently brought his friends to the house — including Thomas.As soon as he called out his younger brother's name, his younger brother immediately distracted himself from his friends and jumped into his arms as soon as he spread his arms, welcoming his little brother warmly."I really miss you, Keith!""I remember that the last time we spoke was last week over a video call, Caleb. How exaggerated are you…," he said, rubbing the top of his younger brother's head, only realizing that compared to the last time they met, his

Aura closed the book she had just finished reading entitled Looking For Dragon's Bone, then smiled a little. Although the novel was not exactly her favourite genre (she preferred darker stories like Stephen King), she had to admit that she really enjoyed the story. The story was about a female commander-in-chief at the palace, who was looking for a dragon bone to give to the king. The dragon bone was used to cure ailments the illness that the king had suffered for a long time. The protagonist of the story had only three months to find the Dragon's bone due to the king's increasingly critical condition of health to live. While sticking to her mission, she tried to find the dragon's hiding place. On the way, she met a beautiful woman who caught her eye while wearing a pink hanfu that matched well her skin tone. She was complacent, forgot her quest to find dragon bones and instead spent her time approaching the mysterious woman. In the end, she just f

Marie took a sip of champagne in her third glass while listening intently to the conversation of her husband's parents—Ernest Gilbert and Cornelia Gilbert—who invited her to chat with their friends. In her heart, she began to question the gloomy attitude that Keith always showed at the beginning of their marriage that she just realized was indeed strange. How could these two people who have a cheerful, with their warm personality and always welcome whatever awaits them with high enthusiasm (it could even go to an exaggerated stage; it was her temporarily guessing) could give birth to a cute-faced man with a super gloomy and stiff personality like Keith Gilbert?It was weird enough for her. Fate was indeed moving in unpredictable directions.That was the only conclusion she came to after she met her husband's parents several times.Correction. More precisely, after she spent four hours talking to her parents-in-law today. The last time she met her husban

Marie saw that her husband rolled his eyes after his parent left him, then facing her."They didn't say anything weird about me during my absence, did they?""As far as I know," she said, laughing with amusement at Keith's cute reaction. "Apart from telling you how bad you were at school, nothing. Really""Oh, shit… even though I want you to only know my good side. My mom always likes to get involved in people's business," Keith took a deep breath for a moment, then took her hand. "Well, whatever. We'd better go somewhere quieter. Come with me.""I have no problem staying here.""No problem?" the man frowned, looking her up and down. The man's non-gripping hand touched her cheek, channelling the man's warm temperature over her body. "With this pale, looking tired face?""I thought my makeup could cover it up.""It might be able to trick everyone's eyes, but not mine," Keith took her hand, led her out of the hallwa

Keith froze when he heard the words that had just slipped out of Marie's lips, which were smeared with the dark red lip cream. He swallowed hard repeatedly, staring at Marie, who was waiting anxiously for his answer."Has something been on your mind recently, Marie?" he said after he had recovered from his shock, tried to dodge her question. "I told you earlier. You can tell me anything, and I will try—"“Don't try to dodge my question just now, Keith. Just answer my question earlier," Marie snapped harshly. This was the first time she had done to him. It seemed that the woman was losing her temper and needed an immediate answer. The problem was, what kind of answer should he give to Marie? All the choices he had were difficult for him.If he said yes to the promise she made, it meant that he would have to tell his wife about another identity as the leader of the Aldebrando mafia group that he has been trying to hide tightly from her, at the risk of the

Our Agreement Chapter 302
[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. 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
