Rosemarie was now starting to gulp. Her mind was filled with panic when she saw these strangers, watching the building from a distance. And again, their location was right facing her office room. How long have they been there?
As she still did not want to show her anxiety in front of Derek, she tried to remain calm as soon as the man closed the blinds, walking away from him after successfully releasing the man's hand from her wrist while slightly enduring the pain from the man's tight grip. To be honest, she was feeling scared now. To this day, she was not aware of the existence of strangers, who, from their appearances alone, were clearly not people with good intentions. How could she not feel their presence until now?
"How did you know about that? In fact, I should be suspicious since you even know about this far compared to me

Keith motioned for Aura to share the latest information that the woman had once they finished the order and asked Tatius to change their jobs for a while for the sake of their meeting. Since Tatius already knew his real identity, he did not need to explain the reason behind their meeting to Tatius, which was definitely not for ordinary coffee shop staff like Tatius and Thomas. The woman closed the door to Keith's study with her elbow while holding her smartphone to her left ear. "Yes, I understand. Yes," Aura glanced at him briefly while gesturing to wait for the call to end, to which he responded with a wave of her hand, giving Aura time to finish the call. He propped up his chin with his hands resting on the table, reluctantly fiddling with the blue ink pen that was nearby. To be honest, he did not feeling well since this morning.
"So childish," he grumbled in annoyance when he heard Aura's answer, moved his cursor to the collection of report files from his subordinates and scanned the files quickly. "Wow. Their attack type has a unique level, huh? Gradually graded. Did they think they were building on an algorithm?” "Unique sense of humour, Boss," the woman said flatly. "But you're right. I didn't realize it until you said it. Let's assume that if everything you said was true, then …” “They should have planned something big. Like a war?" he said, full of doubts. But Aura agreed to his words. "More than that. Planting the fear in all the townspeople and planning to become the sole leader of Rose city. As I've told you before, Hermann's influence in the Rose city government is enormous.”
Alan snorted in annoyance when he got a text from Cecilia, who apparently had not deleted his WeChat contact this morning. Showing Tatius, who was enjoying smelling the bouquet of flowers she gave him, with a look on his face that he had not seen from Tatius in a long time. He was so happy, giving a radiant smile when he received the bouquet of red roses from Cecilia in the photo that Cecilia sent to him. One point for me. He likes the gift. Another message came while he was still cursing the woman in his mind. Look at him. Aww ... the expression that he made is so precious! So cute! You don’t mind if I take some of his pics, do you? I already sent you one, so I’ll take it as okay.
Alan arrived in front of Gilbert's cafe in less than ten minutes at full speed, getting out of his car. His eyes caught the image of Caleb who also just got out of his taxi with his medical kit bag, which immediately provoked his fear. His mind was suddenly filled with the thought of Tatius' condition deteriorating with the same scenario as when he nearly killed Tatius by attacking him six years ago, creating a feeling of fear in him. He immediately slammed his car door, running after Caleb, who had entered the cafe with a worried face shown on the man's face."Alan? Why are you here?"Tatius' voice calling him in a tone full of astonishment as he entered the cafe succeeded in making him both surprised and relieved. He turned around, ran over to Tatius after observing his boyfriend from up and down, tightly hugging the ma
A smirk spread across the face of the beautiful woman, who was frankly far more attractive than anyone he had ever met. Tatius was beyond that scope as Tatius fell into the cute category for him. Not to be confused with the woman who was now asking him to sit at the same table as him, inviting him to order food, which he quickly refused."There's no need to be so cold to me, right?"“I will do anything when it comes to Tatius' safety. Including if I have to be cold with you Though, I have to admit, you did catch my eye in our first meeting," He sat spread his legs apart with his hands resting on his thighs. Gives the woman the impression that he was the one who could dominate everything in his domain. Not that woman.“Woah, so you admitted openly that you are int
He was silent listening to her words, trying to digest what she just said. He had been attracted to the woman sitting across from him since their first meeting. But he also did not want to let Tatius go from his sight. He still loved Tatius. That fact has never changed. But on the other hand, he also liked the side of Cecilia, who dominated him with high self-confidence. Did that mean he wanted a polyamorous relationship from the start? The woman pressed the three fingers of her right hand close to her face. “I promise to protect Tatius at any cost if only you allow me to be a part of you two. You can take my word for it." The woman's attitude made him burst out laughing instantly. "How did you know about that signal?" "Well, I used to spend my three years learning Chi
Marie tapped her fingers on her desk while her grey eyes stared straight at the screen of her smartphone. There had been no reply from Keith since she texted her husband two hours ago. It was unusual for him to make her waiting so long. The usual Keith she knew would reply to her messages quickly, no matter how busy his job was. But now, it was different. Even the man did not read the message. Her anxiety got worse after an unpleasant visit from Derek. "I am serious. Can't you see the situation? Your husband is in danger!” Her gaze shifted from his smartphone screen to the flash drive Derek had given her before leaving the room. Considering the idea of plugging it into her computer and looking at the contents of the flash drive or throwing it in the trash and forgetting everything Derek had told her earlier.
Felicia's answer was clearly beyond her expectations. Still trying to hide her true feelings, she answered the woman's question with a straight face. "Just answer my question. Don't try to answer the question I asked just now with a question." She could see the doubt on her personal assistant's face together with her reluctance to answer her answer, which created more confusion and guilt at having to suspect someone she had trusted for years. The woman finally took a chair near her, sat down in the chair opposite her with a look she had never seen before from her assistant who always wore a calm face in front of her. "I should have told you last month about this matter, to be honest, but I did not want to disturb your time with your husband. Considering it is only the early months of your marriage, Mrs Clark," the woman licked he

[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
