last update Last Updated: 2024-05-08 10:12:37

Dylan is wounded and very scared. He is huddled in a corner, clearly avoiding people. He even keeps his distance from those who saved him. It seems he's traumatized by the pain he's experienced.

Vivianne suddenly feels a pang in her heart upon seeing Dylan's state. She couldn't help but feel the pain in her heart because of it. She crouches on the floor, looking at Dylan.

"Dylan..." she calls to the child, but to Vivianne's surprise, Dylan suddenly moves away and presses himself tighter against the corner of the chair. "I-It's me, Vivianne. Don't you remember me?" she adds, her voice trembling.

Dylan doesn't look at her before he moves away, so his eyes widen when he hears what Vivianne says. The child slowly turns to Vivianne to see if she's telling the truth.

"Vivianne..." Dylan calls out in a weak tone. He's still scared, but unlike earlier, there's a glimmer of hope in his eyes now.

He felt hope that he was safe now... and nothing bad would happen to him because Vivianne was

    “Why did you buy so much food?” Vivianne asked as she looked at the two bags of food Beckett was carrying. “Is the trip to Agrianthropos that far?”“Yes, but that’s not the main reason why I bought those foods. You didn’t eat much on the plane earlier, so I know you must be hungry.”Beckett placed one bag of food on Vivianne’s lap, while the other one remained below.“I also bought sweets. I heard it helps someone to feel better. I don’t know if it’s effective with you, but…” Beckett didn’t finish what he was saying and just adjusted himself. His ears turned red as he adjusted Vivianne’s seatbelt and his own. He wasn’t used to fussing over a woman. Even though he said he was willing to do anything for her, it couldn’t escape him that this was his first time doing such things, and it somehow made him feel uncomfortable. He wasn’t sure if Vivianne would appreciate what he had done.Turns out, she did.“Thank you,” Vivianne whispered with a smile before she touched Beckett’s cheeks to

    After a few minutes, they finally arrived at Agrianthropos City. Beckett talked to a few people there before they entered completely.Vivianne followed Beckett like a child because of the size of the place, as if she might get lost.Vivianne glanced around as they walked. There were people cleaning the streets, selling their products, and doing other things just like ordinary people. That wasn't what she expected.She thought that because there were bad people here, she would see bad deeds like in their organization.There's no time for slouching, smiling, or even resting. It's all about work there, and if they talk to others, it should only be about work too.Vivianne also thought that the place only looked ethereal from the inside since they were hiding their real identities, but it’s not the case. The place is really beautiful.Ordinary, yet peaceful… Something she didn't expect.“A penny for your thoughts?”Vivianne blinked and snapped back to reality when Beckett spoke. There, sh

    [I HEARD you had a handsome client today at work. Brix, isn’t it?]After furrowing her brows, Vivianne's expression was replaced by a smile. She didn't leave the driver’s seat yet to type her reply.[Why do you ask? Are you jealous?]Less than a minute later, Beckett replied again. It seemed like he was just waiting by his phone now and had nothing else to do.[You’re my wife. Why would I be jealous?][Then why are you asking if you're not?]After sending that, Vivianne had to wait a while for Beckett's reply. The smile didn't leave her lips.She knew Beckett. She knew he was reflecting now because of her question. She put the paper bag in the compartment and was about to put her phone in her pocket.But her phone rang again.[I miss you.]Vivianne's face suddenly reddened after reading that message. She couldn't react. She was used to Beckett being straightforward, but even so, she was still surprised sometimes.She cleared her throat to calm herself before typing again.[I’m back to

    'Get rid of the person who annoyed me so much, done!' Vivianne grinned to herself as she continued sorting through the documents earlier.She felt like she could breathe easier now that Joan was gone from the warehouse. It was as if she had lost the scrutinizing eyes on her, and she could do whatever she wanted from now on.Of course, that wasn't true. She knew that almost everyone in the warehouse was loyal to Alfred. Nonetheless, she still felt a different kind of irritation towards Joan. It's like her blood boiled every time she saw her."I hope she learns her lesson," she whispered again while sorting through the documents.Since Joan was in charge of most of the illegal activities of the mafia here at the main branch, Vivianne had to take on the other tasks that the woman left behind.She had Jill helping her, while Alfred took the sensitive tasks that he still couldn't entrust to Vivianne.Instead of getting annoyed, Vivianne felt more satisfied with that arrangement. She never

    Vivianne's suspicions were correct. The enemy group received a tip that Alfred Allamino's daughter would be among those attacking them tonight. They couldn't miss that opportunity.They could take Vivianne and use her against Alfred to nullify their debt, or they could demand even more money."I'll get you out of here because if we stay, our fight becomes meaningless," Riz said.But Vivianne still hesitated. Looking at their disadvantage, she was reluctant to leave."We can defeat them. We're your team, right? So trust us," Riz smiled, and Vivianne nodded in response. "Let's go."Bryle and Riz nodded to each other. Riz pulled her from behind, and Bryle and some of his remaining men would attempt to catch up with them.They ended up in the forest. Riz was about to run again when Vivianne stopped her. "Go back there and help them. I can run alone.""But—""I'll call for backup," Vivianne interrupted Riz. "I'm telling you this as your boss, so you need to obey. Now, go!"Reluctantly, Riz

    "Ah, darn it!" Vivianne cursed as her arm was grazed by a bullet again. She almost dropped the gun, but fortunately, she still had a tight grip on it.Beckett looked at her, swearing under his breath as he saw his wife's arm bleeding. That's when he lost his composure entirely. He took the guns on the ground and shot everyone... until the last one stumbled to the ground.Beckett's final shot was aimed at the man who shot Vivianne. Four bullets lodged into his body; in both arms and knees to immobilize him."You shot her, didn't you?" Beckett asked, and the man didn't respond. "Well, be ready to experience hell."Beckett approached the man. He kicked the gun away before unleashing a barrage of punches. The man screamed as Beckett targeted the areas where he had been shot.But Beckett seemed like a madman seeking revenge. Hearing the man's pleas only fueled his desire to hurt him more.Even though he could kill the man with one punch, he didn't. He wanted the man to die slowly and painf

    "BECAUSE she’s my daughter. The next heir of the company and the mafia. If I can't trust her with something like this, how can I pass all of this to her?" "But Vivianne wasn’t interested in those things, and this is too dangerous. If I wasn’t able to go there in time, she might have died," Beckett's voice choked as he said that. He can’t imagine what he would do if Vivianne died. Hell, he couldn’t even imagine a life without her. If that happened, it would be like he died too. "If she died, it would mean she's not worthy to be called my daughter," Alfred responded without hesitation. "This is her fate, and not her dream to be a dress stylist. That's not the world meant for her." "And who are you to decide what she should do?" Beckett asked before showing a sly smile. "By the way, I can train her. I know that you did a background check about me. You know who I really am." Alfred grinned. He knew Beckett was Ylona's child, but he wouldn't say it. It's better if Beckett didn't know

    As Alfred mentioned, they set up a new business again, and unlike their previous venture, their business now thrived. They also earned a lot of money because Alfred found a large amount of investment capital.Ylona and Dyrus worked under his authority, too. They realized that Alfred was actually good at managing a business, so they entrusted most decisions to him.Everything was going well until Ylona found out something, prompting her to confront Alfred in his office."I know we're friends, Ylona, but here in the company, I'm your boss. Learn to knock," Alfred said as he read documents on his desk. He didn't even look at her.Ylona didn't respond. Instead, she slammed the documents in her hands on Alfred's desk, causing him to stop what he was doing."Embezzlement, bribery, connections to the black market, and even the money you used to establish this company, it's all from corruption," Ylona said, her anger barely contained."Yes. And so?" Alfred responded nonchalantly before pushin

    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
