Vivianne thought everything would be fine after she apologized to Beckett earlier, but it turns out she was mistaken. After answering Beckett's question earlier, the man remained silent. He became even quieter, and only the sound of them slurping noodles could be heard in the entire room."Is there a problem?" Vivianne asked, unable to contain her curiosity. "Did I say something wrong?""None," Beckett shook his head and took a deep breath. "Just eat, so you can rest afterward.""Do you not have a photoshoot schedule today?" Vivianne changed the topic. She didn't want their conversation to end. She disliked the silence because her mind wandered everywhere. "Why did you come back here anyway? Did you forget something?"Beckett didn't answer. Instead, he pointed to the smoke detector in the kitchen. "That alarm will notify my phone if something happens. It alarmed earlier, so I thought… something bad happened to you."His voice was incredibly soft, and if it weren't so quiet in the room

"What do you mean by that?" Beckett asked, looking at Vivianne, but the woman didn't respond.Vivianne simply smiled while gently caressing Beckett's cheek. There was a hint of sadness in her smile and in the expression of her eyes that were fixated on the man's lips."I'm just telling you the same..." Vivianne whispered softly before lifting her gaze again. "Just as you found out I was keeping something from you, I also found out you were keeping something from me. So, we'll wait for each other."Beckett's heart skipped a beat upon hearing Vivianne's response. It was as if a rush of blood escaped his entire body. He didn't know why, but he felt like Vivianne had learned something... whatever that might be."But what if neither of us intends to open up to each other?" Vivianne added a question. Her tone was gentle yet held a sense of intimidation, and Beckett understood that she was implying something."It would be bad, then..." Beckett replied in a dark, menacing tone.However, Becke

‘What the fuck?’Beckett's string of curses continued as he realized that Alfred was the one in front of him now. At first, he was in denial, thinking that maybe he was just seeing things, but no.The great Alfred Allamino, known by everyone as a hard-working and innocent guy, was in his coffee shop, and he was his potential client, for fuck’s sake."I know that you know me already, so I don't need to introduce myself," Alfred said before grinning.He looked around, his grin widening as he scrutinized the employees one by one. "I expected the meeting place to be eerie and dark like an abandoned room. A coffee shop didn't even cross my mind. That was so unique of you.""I believe that our products should be treated with care, too, just like the other products in the market," Beckett coldly replied in front of his voice changer. "And I want my client to be comfortable while talking to me, too."Beckett's voice was cold and intimidating, especially since he was using a voice changer. He

AFTER A couple of rings, the person on the other line answered. “Hello?”“Trevin Angeles,” Beckett replied as he leaned back in his swivel chair and crossed his legs. He also turned his phone to loudspeaker mode so Nathan could hear their conversation. “Did I call the right number? This is Beckett Clainfer.”“Beckett Clainfer...” Trevin repeated his name, clearly thinking. Several seconds passed before he responded. “You're a friend of Jeru, aren't you?”“Yes.” Beckett shifted his gaze to Nathan's tablet before extending his hand. Nathan placed the tablet he was holding on it. “I have a favor to ask. There’s this document we obtained in the middle of an investigation, but it’s heavily encrypted.”"Ordinary hackers can handle that.""It's not only encrypted. The whole flash drive was filled with viruses, too," Beckett replied while reading the notes Nathan had placed in his notes app. "It’s a flash drive containing various viruses, and it could be a trap.""Do you know what kind of vir

"TELL ME, who is it?"Vivianne swallowed hard and seemed to freeze in her place. She was used to her father's behavior like this. Alfred would suddenly throw a knife from time to time, but she never reacted to it.But something was different about Alfred now... It seemed like he was ready to kill at any moment. Vivianne wondered what she had said that triggered her father to be like this."Where did you see a tattoo identical to mine?" Alfred asked again, his voice now deeper than before."I'm not sure," Vivianne replied, lowering her head and taking a deep breath to control the trembling in her body. "The infinity sign tattoo is common, so I don't understand why you're reacting this way.""My tattoo has small thorns surrounding the sign," said Alfred, his gaze unwavering. "Did you see the same thing?""I'm not sure," Vivianne tilted her head, pretending to think about something. "I'll let you know when I can confirm what I saw.""And how can I be sure?"Vivianne sighed before claspin

[You’re probably busy at work, so I didn’t bother calling you. We’ll have dinner in the mansion tomorrow. I won’t take no for an answer.]The message came from her father, Alfred. She didn't expect him to text her. He often pestered her with calls, especially when he had something important to say, so she was surprised, especially by the mention of "dinner." It just didn't sound right to her."Excuse me, I'm just going to the bathroom," Vivianne said to Fiona, who simply nodded. Fiona didn't even look at her and kept her gaze fixed on Beckett, the manager.Vivianne only shrugged. Ever since she started working at Syneverse Entertainment as a dress stylist, Fiona had been distant, or maybe just neutral towards her. However, Fiona did praise her when she did a good job.She wondered if Fiona knew something about her relationship with Beckett or if she was jealous because Beckett was closer to her than to Fiona. But whatever the reason, she decided not to dwell on it. After all, Beckett

Beckett felt like he was drenched with cold water when he heard what Nathan said. After a moment of shock, he quickly rushed out of the warehouse. Nathan was still calling him because there were a few more things that Beckett needed to attend to at work, but he ignored them.Using his car, Beckett drove to the Allamino mansion as fast as he could. The distance from the warehouse to the mansion was quite far, but due to his car speed, he arrived at his destination quickly."Shit. Shit," Beckett repeatedly cursed while gripping the steering wheel tightly. He was also trying to call Vivianne, but she wasn't answering. "Fuck, Vivianne. Answer the phone, goddamn it."As each minute passed, his anxiety grew. Sweat was accumulating on his forehead, and anger was building up in his body. If only he knew that Alfred would make Vivianne his tester on that drug, he wouldn't have sold that jerk anything.After a few minutes, Beckett parked his car in front of the mansion gate. He saw the car Vivi

As if on cue, Beckett's mind went back to that day, especially when Alfred re-enacted exactly what the killer did that night. He was removing his upper garment while playing with a fork in his right hand.Beckett froze in his tracks, his body trembling. It was happening again. The entire place seemed to fill with blood due to his imagination. He even held his breath without realizing that he had let go of Vivianne already.Fortunately, Vivianne was sober enough to steady herself, but she was confused as to why Beckett suddenly stopped walking when he was the one eager to get her out of the house in the first place."Beckett?" Vivianne called to her boyfriend in a soft voice, but he didn't respond. He just kept staring at Alfred, so her gaze also shifted to her father.She furrowed her brow when she saw that his shirt was now removed, and Alfred was facing both of them. There, she saw the tattoo again—an infinity sign with small thorns.At first, she didn't know what was happening, but

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
