*MARCELO*

As I headed for the door,Chad walked behind me.

I side-eyed him to find him smiling as he walked me to the door.

“Are you going to follow me to work?”I asked turning to face him.

He slung me a sly smile.

“So Mrs King spent the night in your room.”He drawled.”I can see you two are getting close.”

I rolled my eyes.”What’s weird about us getting close and she sleeping in my room?She’s my wife.”I snapped and walked off.

But I could hear him chuckle.

That old man seem to be excited about the prospect of me finally getting along with my wife.

Well,I couldn’t say it was all that bad though.

The more I got to know Renee,the more intrigued I was of her.

*********************

*RENEE*

After freshening up,I sipped on the honey water the maid had brought me,straining to piece together the previous night’s fuzzy memories.

But my mind remained blank.

Elma suddenly let out,her voice excited and sincere.

“Mrs King,you should know how much your husband cares about you.He was by your side thro

    *MARCELO*I narrowed my eyes at the photo to see my wife in a chic,light beige dress and black coat,she was attentively working on a mannequin.I frowned.”Isn’t she supposed to be resting at home?”I looked up at Luke and he shrugged,equally clueless about the situation.I immediately gave Chad a call.“Why is my wife not home?”I asked as soon as he picked up.“Oh,Mrs King told me she had something important to do.She told me not to follow her and that she would be fine.Please don’t be mind,Mr King.”I hung up and sighed.Luke chimed in what had obviously become obvious.“It seems she’s vying for the stylist position here this quarter.She has made it to the second interview round and seems to be faring quite well.”It was also obvious that she doesn’t know that I owed this company.“Bring her up to me.”Why couldn’t she just adhere to simple instructions?I told her to have a good rest at home!I had only returned to this country this morning and it was quite surprising that she had le

    Catherine’s career had been soaring even if she was significantly talentless.Thanks to her father,Rocco’s influence, her talent agency provided her with top-tier resources, positioning her alongside the company's most prominent stars. Prestigious fashion brands were reaching out to her one after another overlooking the fact that she had no talents.Shortly after she signed onto a leading variety show,Catherine encountered Celine.“Catherine, you won't believe who I saw today at KM Group's studios. I was there for a magazine shoot.""Who?" Catherine disliked the suspense."It was Renee!"Celine, knowing Catherine’s animosity towards Renee, didn't hesitate to divulge the information. "I asked around. She's in the running to be KM Group's new quarterly collaborative stylist and has made it to the final round!"Catherine had thwarted Renee’s prospects multiple times, but this opportunity with KM Group was on another level.Becoming the collaborative stylist for KM Group would undoubtedly

    *RENEE*His response cut me off.I watched as he sat stoically on the opposite side of the car, his face an impassive mask, seemingly unaffected by his mother's distressing episode at the sanatorium.My curiosity was usually contained, but Jessica was an exception.In my middle school days, fraught with confusion and helplessness, watching Jessica on TV,learning about her success story,she had come from nothing and made a name for herself,that had encouraged me to pursue my dreams.Sitting up straight,I asserted, "Mr. King, as your lawful wife, I have a right to understand the situation with my mother-in-law."Marcelo turned towards me, noting my serious tone. He rolled down the window, letting in a gust of wind.“Renee, remember, curiosity kills the cat.""Fine," I muttered, my voice low. "But remember, your mother told you not to pick on me. I might just tell her about this next time.”“Go ahead," he said suddenly."What?"I was taken aback, not following his train of thought.Marcel

    Catherine was on the brink of losing her composure, hit by two setbacks in quick succession.Despite her best efforts, not only did she fail to undermine Renee but she also lost the endorsement."Renee, you have to stop right there. You..."“Catherine,let it go. Sign the termination agreement," her agent advised, gripping her arm. There was no turning back now. Any emotional outburst from Catherine would only worsen their situation, especially given KM Group's influence.Meanwhile, in the office, Renee reviewed the contract carefully. Satisfied that it was straightforward, she signed it.The legal department representative then informed her, "Miss Hudson, there's an additional requirement. The new co-stylist must meet our president.""This wasn't a requirement before." Renee raised an eyebrow, feeling something was off.The representative offered a lame explanation.

    “No, it wasn't me!"Catherine blurted out in a knee-jerk reaction. But as she realized the undeniable truth in the surveillance footage, she quickly shifted her story. "I just lost my balance. It was an accident. I didn't mean to hit the table!"Renee was unaware of Catherine’s presence near the champagne tower since she was out of her line of sight. Now, she was convinced that Catherine had intended the incident.Marcelo, however, was uninterested in Catherine’s excuses.“I'm giving you a chance to apologize," he said sternly. He pointed to another champagne tower and instructed Catherine, "Go stand there and pull the table yourself."His demand wasn't unreasonable. He wanted Catherine to understand the potential harm she had nearly caused Renee.“No, I can't!"Catherine refused, shaking her head in terror and shielding her face.She feared the glass could cut her, potentially scarring her face. She then tried to shift the blame to Renee. "You weren't even hurt. You can't do this to me

    "A marriage alliance..." Vivian muttered, her voice trailing off.The news had caught her completely off guard.Catherine’s satisfied grin grew wider as she saw the shock etched on Vivian’s face.“Miss Lambert, do you still see yourself as the other woman? Are you ready to be outplayed by someone so cunning?"“Why are you telling me this?" Vivian quickly regained her composure. "You're with Andrew. We both understand his connection to Marcelo. If I marry into the King family, the Lamberts will support Marcelo. That can't be good for you."It didn't make sense for Catherine to be helping her.Catherine just shrugged. "I can't stand watching that Renee enjoy a good life. Isn't that reason enough?"************The birthday ceremony then began. Paul had two sons and a daughter. Today, his daughter was notably absent. She was the family's outcast, having married young and moved abroad with her husband. She had almost cut all ties with the Kings.Renee vaguely recalled that she had been cl

    Renee watched Vivian with a knowing smile.Vivian, unable to utter the words, bit her silver teeth and continued to gaze at Marcelo, silently begging for his help.Considering her relationship with his brother, Marcelo reassured, "It's okay not to call her that."If his brother were still alive and married to Vivian, they would have referred to Vivian as "sister-in-law."Renee’s smile stiffened slightly, but it didn't matter to her. She didn't need Vivian’s acknowledgment as "sister-in-law," and the thought of it even disgusted her.She didn’t want Marcelo and Vivian to be seen as siblings.She wanted Vivian to have nothing to do with her husband.Was that too much to ask?Meanwhile,Jessica showed a keen interest in the piece Renee had composed and started discussing it with her.Finding the conversation uninteresting, Marcelo decided to step out to the balcony for a smoke. Seizing the opportunity, Vivian followed him.“Marcelo, are you angry with me for siding with your father today?"

    Feeling a pit in her stomach,Renee was about to relinquish her hold when Marcelo spoke.“No, thank you." He refused Vivian directly.Marcelo waved in the direction of Damian, who was standing nearby. "Damian will keep you company.”Vivian and Damian were already acquainted.“Huh? Oh, sure. I'll take it from here,"Damian replied.He was startled at first, and then bewildered by the sudden task that was thrown in his face. But he didn't want Marcelo to leave Renee alone and go with another woman, so he agreed without a second thought.The smile froze on Vivian’s face, and her eyes darkened. She swallowed and quickly composed herself. "Well," she said, forcing another smile at Damian. "I'm afraid I will have to trouble you in the meantime."Damian paid no mind to her strained expression and carried on as he would with an old friend.“It's no trouble at all. We were just about to play dice, do you care to join us?Renee is quite good at it. Why don't you give it a try?"Damian offered.Wyat

    At a high-end shopping center downtownNana’s clothes were easy to choose, as they only needed to be decent and comfortable. It didn't take long for Renee to pick out a set of clothes for her.Jessica, on the other hand, had a dignified temperament, but there was still a girlish look in her eyes. Renee spent over an hour, picking the right clothes for her.“Hello, please show this..."“Pack this dress for me!"Renee was about to ask the saleswoman to bring her the dress so that she could get a better look when a woman's arrogant voice interrupted her.“Miss Hudson, you also like that dress?" Alma, who just entered the shop arm-in-arm with a man, smiled at her smugly. "Too bad. Vivian wanted it for an elder of the King family."“Is that so?" Without hesitation,Renee snatched the dress from the saleswoman and strode straight to the cashier. "I'll take this dress, thank you."Whoever paid the bill owned the dress.Alma was stunned. She didn't expect that Renee would be so brazen!"Don't

    Only by firmly embracing this woman did he truly feel her presence, as if this was the only way to ensure she wouldn't be taken away by anyone else.Seeing that her protests had no effect,Renee gave in.She remained seated on his lap, taking a sip of milk tea from the cup she had opened and then donned disposable gloves to begin eating the fried chicken.Why did she have the feeling that he had become so assertive without her even noticing? "Marcelo..."“What is it?" he replied without looking up from the documents, his profile still displaying its usual angular and somewhat aloof demeanor.“Do you like to…you know…have…make physical contact with me because you’re in love with me?”Renee had this question in mind but hesitated to voice it.She had noticed a change in his attitude, a growing closeness and indulgence between them. However, he had never explicitly expressed his feelings for her, even though she had made attempts to draw those wordsIn the end,Renee decided not to push fur

    Renee frowned, clearly annoyed. But Vivian had presented a valid excuse for joining. Turning her down would make it look like she was causing unnecessary trouble.*************A comprehensive check-up had been set up by Wyatt, leaving Renee feeling a bit apprehensive when she spotted the progesterone and HCG test items on the list.Despite her assurance to Marcelo that she wasn't pregnant, he had taken the initiative to schedule tests to detect early pregnancy.This left Renee pondering whether Marcelo was secretly hoping for her to be carrying their child or if he was trying to prevent it from happening.It tugged at her heartstrings, as she couldn't help but lean towards the latter possibility.After all, they had consistently used birth control during their intimate moments, and Marcelo had never shown much interest in the prospect of parenthood. The only time he ever mentioned pregnancy and childbirth was during the heat of the moment, which Renee understood as mere empty words s

    Renee didn't respond and continued upstairs, leaving Vivian behind in the room.Reaching the top of the stairs,Renee found herself regretting not having Chad escort Vivian out. She wondered if Vivian would leave on her own.Vivian stood there, seething with frustration.How dare Renee treat her like that?Chad appeared discreetly, hesitating.“Miss Lambert, would you like to stay, or..." His unfinished words implied that it was now time for her to leave.Vivian managed a strained smile. “Can I wait here for Marcelo? It's my first time at his house, and it seems inappropriate to leave so abruptly."“Of course,"Chad replied.In his mind, he found Vivian’s unannounced visit somewhat improper, given her lack of gifts or courtesies.In the meantime, a car stopped outside the main building of the mansion.The staff, once used to Marcelo being a workaholic, now observed him returning home on time each day.Entering the house, Marcelo immediately felt something was off.Before he could put hi

    Catherine’s gloating tone was a stark contrast to her demeanor after being expelled from the University.“Oh, congratulations,"Renee responded, her tone indifferent.Why should Catherine’s pregnancy matter to her?She had no intention of spending any money on a baby shower gift.That money would be better spent elsewhere!Catherine, expecting a different reaction, noticed Andrew’s gaze lingering on Renee.Frustration washed over her face as her smile faded.“You better find a way to explain that past incident to Nana!" she snapped at Renee, then turned to Andrew. "Come on, let's show your parents the baby's report."“What incident?"Sarah inquired, puzzled.Renee just shook her head, feigning ignorance. "No idea what she's talking about."Yet, the need to explain things to Naomi was indeed pressing.Sarah, still confused, wondered aloud, "Is Catherine delusional? What the hell was going on in her head?"Renee speculated, "She's likely worried I still have feelings for Drew."Considerin
