Beckett frowned upon hearing Vivianne mention the name. Suddenly, his body went stiff as images of Tristan beaten up and killed lingered in his mind.

He had been trying to push those thoughts out of his mind earlier, but here was Vivianne, reminding him again.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Beckett said, his jaw tensing. "So, is that it? That's the reason why you're acting cranky all day? You're not thinking about the kiss?"

"No." Vivianne rolled her eyes before looking away. She could feel her cheeks flushing, so she quickly composed herself. "And why do you keep mentioning the kiss, huh? Can't you forget about it?"

"Nope." Beckett leaned forward, narrowing the distance between them. "Never."

Nor did he have any plans to forget it.

"I-I don't know about you."

Vivianne cleared her throat to divert Beckett's attention, but it was a wrong move. As she looked away, Beckett's gaze focused on her lips.

His gaze grew darker as he licked his lower lip. It seemed like he wanted to

    Lily was astounded for a second because of her friend's sudden request. "Huh? That's a weird thing you're asking. Don't tell me you still desire your ex-boyfriend even though he's dead?" "You crazy—Wait, how did you know?" Vivianne's voice was filled with surprise. She knew she hadn't discussed it with anyone except Manager Yu. "Who told you?" "Tristan! Obviously! He probably told you because he got caught cheating," Lily replied while looking around suspiciously. Lily had managed to sneakily take a picture of Tristan before the higher-ups arrived at the morgue. It was something she wasn't supposed to do, and if she got caught, she would surely be fired. "And he really told you that? That damn idiot." Vivianne sighed before gripping the steering wheel tightly. She felt her stress piling up, and she didn't like it. "Yeah! I told him to tell me everything he knew." Lily was proud of herself. Though she may have an innocent face, she was skilled at making people confess. "He got caug

    This day was a hectic day for Beckett, but his body was already used to it. He pushed himself to work harder and be more determined just so he could escape from sadness every time he was alone.What he wasn't used to was the fact that instead of resting and sleeping, Vivianne was still on his mind."Fuck," Beckett muttered as he drank the whiskey in his glass in one sitting.Instead of staying in the penthouse, he went to the den where his men were. His drug cartel was one form of his escape. He would go there whenever he felt confused about life, while Nathan would keep watch over him."Do you have a problem, boss?" Nathan asked when he saw how troubled their boss looked. Nonetheless, he still looked handsome."Lovelife?" Nathan wanted to ask that, but he didn't want Beckett to throw a glass at him. Beckett was scary when he's mad, but Nathan didn't think he was angry. He could see the unease in his eyes."Nothing," Beckett replied as he clicked his tongue. He poured another drink in

    BEFORE THE PUNCH could land on Beckett, he quickly raised his hand and held onto the woman's fists. Beckett realized she was a woman by the feel of her fists in his grip. Although small, her fists were surprisingly strong and had a soft yet masculine touch. Beckett winced at the force behind the woman's punch. However, he was relieved that it didn't hit his face again, especially after the trouble he faced when Fiona and the higher-ups saw the bruise on his face from the previous incident. At least, not for the second time. Beckett couldn’t let someone punch his handsome face again. Fiona and the higher-ups almost went ballistic when they saw the bruise on his face back then, and he knew that if that happened, Syneverse Entertainment would take action. He doesn’t want to lose his freedom, but he couldn’t leave the modeling industry for now. Beckett needed to take everything under his control… and this is one of these things; the gunshot, the killer, and his purpose. "Who are you?

    Only then did the police realize that a famous model like Beckett would not do anything that could tarnish his reputation. One of the policemen glanced at their team leader and shook his head.The team leader suddenly realized that Beckett, known in the modeling industry, might be wealthy, and they didn't want any trouble if they confronted him."Okay, come with us," said the team leader.Beckett nodded and complied. The police escorted Beckett to the station without handcuffing him. Some residents in the area watched—some were delighted to see Beckett, while others were annoyed because their sleep was disturbed by the noise of footsteps on the rooftop.In no time, they arrived at the nearest police stat

    THROUGHOUT her life, Vivianne was a fan of slow-burn love stories. She believed that love should not be rushed, and relationships that start quickly are sure to end quickly as well. It was like a moth to a flame. The strong desire would surely kill the relationship because it was too much, too dangerous, and too painful in the long run. That's why Vivianne promised herself not to fall in love easily. But it seemed like Vivianne had swallowed all of her words. As Beckett pulled her into a kiss, she knew what she needed to do. She should push him away, slap him, and walk out because he kissed her without permission. But here she was, acting like a kiss-deprived woman who wanted more of Beckett's kisses. She didn't even realize that both of her hands were already gripping his neck while her chest was pressed against his body. They were kissing like it was the end of the world... like it was the last time they could taste each other's lips. "Ah..." Vivianne moaned when Beckett's han

    Beckett was astounded by the sudden information Vivianne gave him. It was as if Vivianne knew what he had been investigating all along – the connection of the Allamino family to his mother.He had been investigating the Allaminos for years, but he had never discovered anything substantial.Never in his wildest dreams did he expect Vivianne, the sole heir of the Allamino family, to speak about their illegal business – especially when she should be hiding this information.But the fact that she brought him to this place wasn't the only thing that confused him."What do you mean by that?" Beckett asked, referring to Vivianne's last statement. "Why would I pull you to hell?""Because I am sinful too. I won't pretend to be innocent because that's the truth." Vivianne kept her gaze focused on the road while gripping the steering wheel tightly. "I am sinned, flawed, and heartless. I know everything that's happening, but I remained silent... I couldn't do anything to save them."For a moment,

    Beckett let out a deep breath when he heard what Vivianne said. In one swift move, he moved away from Vivianne as he started the engine again, and drove the car afterwards.Vivianne bit her lower lip as she thought that Beckett pretended not to hear her insinuation. She was suddenly ashamed of herself. Why is she saying that? Where did she get the courage to speak?She just wanted to bang his head against the wall. However, she got everything all wrong.“B-Beckett?” Vivianne stuttered calling to the man when he suddenly stopped the car on the side—On the grass side. “What are we doing here—”She didn't finish what he had to say when Beckett suddenly leaned her against the window and gave her a kiss. It wasn't even gentle or passionate. It was aggressive as soon as Beckett's lips crashed onto hers.Beckett was true to his words earlier. He was really just holding back, and now it's like he's out of a cage. He had been containing himself not to destroy her, and not to fuck her in such a

    Vivianne's world seemed to stop when she felt Beckett’s entire c.ock inside her. His c.ock hit her quickly and intensely, causing Vivianne to clench both hands as she had a ragged breathing. "Fuck..." said Vivianne in a low tone as her tears began to fall. “Fuck you, Beckett! I'm a virgin—Ah shit, something must have torn inside me!” Suddenly, Vivianne's body became weak. Her legs trembled, making her almost lose her balance. Luckily, Beckett was able to hold both of her hands so she could maintain her position. Beckett didn't answer, but he didn't move either. He wanted her to get used to his size first, and Vivianne appreciated the gesture—Because in their position now, Beckett almost reached the end of her core. Vivianne bent her head to see if her pussy was still fine, but she almost turned pale when she saw the blood flowing down her thigh. It was too many… It felt like she was going to lose so much blood. "A-Are you going to kill me?" Vivianne stuttered, seeming to want to b

    Alfred raised his right hand, and all the members of the Allamino mafia emerged. Beckett did the same, and his men who were hiding in the trees and bushes earlier also came out.Seeing how the two leaders are determined to clash with each other, it only means one thing: this place will be in bloodshed soon.And indeed it happened. The people between Beckett and Alfred started fighting. Blood flowed, and many lives were lost. It was a long-time war between the two of them, and Beckett won.Now they are face to face. Alfred is sitting on the ground, his body full of wounds and bruises from Beckett's beating, while Beckett is standing. His gun is pointed at Alfred.“I know you want to kill me… But why can’t you fucking pull the trigger?” Alfred asked, grinning. “Has your fear of killing people returned?”“Hah.” Beckett clicked his tongue, annoyed.But he didn't answer the question. The reason he didn't shoot Alfred was because of Vivianne. She was still sitting in the grass, but the ropes

    In Alfred's anger, he approached Vivianne with large strides before grabbing the collar of her clothes. "Take back what you said.""I'm not your father to obey you." Vivianne grinned, especially when she saw the rage intensifying in Alfred's eyes. "I never considered you a father because I don't have a demon for a father like you—"Vivianne didn't finish her sentence because Alfred suddenly let go of her collar and slapped her. Not just once, but three times.Vivianne smiled painfully. The happy family she had dreamed of... She would never have that. And she needed to accept the painful truth."You have no manners! After everything I've done for you, this is how you repay me? By fighting me and insulting me?!" Alfred's anger and shouts echoed throughout the entire office.Vivianne chuckled sarcastically. "I have no manners? And everything you did, you did for me? Why, did you even ask if I wanted to be in this situation?""You're ungrateful!"Alfred slapped her again, harder than befo

    After that, they discussed their next plan all night. They agreed on one thing: they would rescue Ella from the hospital and inject her with the new medicine that Beckett had developed to wake her up.“I will distract Alfred and his men,” Beckett said, pointing to the right side of the footprint. “We will go here since Ella’s room is on the left side of the hospital. While we’re here, use the opportunity to escape with your mother.”“But that’s dangerous.” Vivianne shook her head. “Alfred might have prepared for this and could have you killed in the hospital. He can easily do that. Believe me.”“I believe you, but it doesn’t matter. What’s important for me right now is to save your mother and fulfill my promise to you…” Beckett kissed his wife’s forehead again. “So let’s do this… and see the end together.”THE NEXT DAY, it was time to execute the plan. Beckett was already in the parking lot, along with the men who would pose as doctors, nurses, and janitors if anything went wrong.He

    Alfred went to the hospital afterward to check on Ella's condition. He’s making sure Ella will be alive, but not enough to wake her up. He will only get her treated once Vivianne follows his demands. But it seems fate is not on his side now, because he was shocked to see Vivianne just coming out of Ella's room, holding a large suitcase. “What does this mean?” Alfred asked in a deep and angry tone. “You’re leaving your mother for that man?” “I just said goodbye to her earlier, and I’m sure she’ll understand me,” Vivianne replied. “How can she understand if she's already dead?” “She won’t die.” Vivianne gritted her teeth but forced herself to stay calm. This was not the time to argue with her father. She was already exhausted from everything that had happened. “I’m leaving.” Vivianne took a step forward, thinking her father would not speak again, but she was wrong. “I’m giving you one last chance to take back what you said. Go back to the mansion and break up with Beckett,” Alfre

    “TWENTY million dollars.”“Twenty million? Dollars? Are you out of your mind?!” Vivianne suddenly shouted when she realized what her husband intended to do. “No! That’s too much money! Just leave me here!”“Shut up, lady,” Raul said in a deep voice, frowning as he seemed annoyed by Vivianne's yelling in a language he didn’t understand.“Non maledire con mia moglie, Raul.” [Don’t curse at my wife.]Beckett didn’t like the way Raul reprimanded his wife, especially the tone of his voice. He glared at Raul but quickly calmed himself.“So, is this enough for you to buy guns from their organization?” Beckett asked, raising the diamond card. “You have collateral, and remember how I saved your ass when we were in elementary school?”Unbeknownst to everyone, Raul and Beckett were not just acquaintances. They were classmates back in the day, and when someone tried to beat up Raul because he didn’t know how to fight, Beckett saved him. They became best friends somehow after that, until they dec

    "Don't talk shit with me. I know you're the reason she's missing." Beckett approached Alfred, his eyes filled with rage. "Where did you take her?""I don't know. Which part of that don't you understand?" Alfred slammed the newspaper down beside him before meeting Beckett's angry gaze. "And don't forget that you're in my territory. I could blow your brains out right now."Beckett smirked. "If you really planned to do that, you should have done it already.""I'll do it later, once I have all your wealth."Hearing Alfred's words, Beckett couldn't help but laugh. His suspicions were correct—Alfred had ulterior motives for agreeing to his marriage with Vivianne and for pretending to be cordial with him."Keep dreaming," Beckett whispered, his jaw clenching. "I will find her, no matter how long it takes. Mark my words, Alfred Allamino."Beckett turned to leave the mansion, but stopped when Alfred spoke again."Even if you do find her, can you be sure she's still alive by then?"Beckett turn

    Beckett immediately hit the wall when he thought of that. He didn’t waste any more time. He quickly searched for paper and a pen to write down his thoughts.Fortunately, he still memorized the ingredients and knew the drugs that could interfere with the chemicals.Due to his endless thinking, the three days passed quickly for Beckett. He didn’t even realize that he was eating only twice a day and spent almost the entire day sitting on the edge, thinking.He had filled almost an entire notebook with writings and drawings of various things. Everything was settled, so all he needed to do when he got out was go to the warehouse and test all his ideas.“If what I’m thinking is correct, it means that the other drink Ella had taken is the reason why she went into a coma. It was also the reason for her nosebleed,” Beckett muttered while staring at his notebook.He was bothered by the events, but it wasn’t just the chemical in Ella’s body that made him uneasy. It was because of another realiza

    Vivianne entered her mother's room. She sat by her side, silently crying. She couldn’t stay still because just a while ago she was able to talk to her mother properly, but now, she looked like a withered vegetable. Her skin was flushed, and she was lying bedridden.“Mom… I’m sorry,” she whispered to her mother, gently squeezing her hand.Vivianne felt that everything that happened was her fault. She couldn’t blame anyone else for this, but earlier she had exploded from the many problems she was going through.Her trauma hasn’t healed yet. She has major trust issues. She also knew that she shouldn’t have treated Beckett the way she did earlier, especially since he just wanted to help. But because of what happened, her walls were up again.“I’m sorry, Beckett…” she said, and soon after, her tears flowed freely.But unbeknownst to Vivianne, Beckett had followed her. He had already opened the door and was ready to enter, but when he saw how sad Vivianne was while looking at Ella and heard

    Not long after, Beckett and Vivianne began doing the things they had planned in Agrianthropos. They also informed Ella about what was going to happen so she wouldn't be surprised when she started to feel pain in her heart.Now, they were at the Allamino mansion. They were alone because Alfred was in the office reading documents. The mother and daughter were eating dinner, and Vivianne had already put medicine in her drink.They were chatting while eating. Vivianne was discreetly checking the time. She and Beckett had planned this specifically, so they had a schedule to follow. Vivianne was waiting for it.“Child, I think it's time for me to watch my favorite KDRAMA,” Ella said.It was a code. Ella was asking if it was time for her to drink the water on the table which contained the medicine.Vivianne looked at the clock before nodding. “Yes, it's time, mom. I’ll take you back to your room after we finish eating.”“Alright.” Ella finished eating and then drank the water.Ella did not i
