"Wake up. Time for us to talk."

Mila was shivering with cold when the blanket was suddenly pulled roughly from her body. She curled up to the right, trying to find some more warmth, but her arms were suddenly pulled away and she was forced to sit up on her bed.

"Open your eyes, Milla. Until when are you going to sleep, huh?”

"Arghhh that hurts! Let go of my arm, Ezra.”

"It's already eleven o'clock. You need to get up and we need to talk."

“I only went to bed at three because I couldn't sleep. You should have given me more time to sleep.”

"I have a lot of work and I can't just sit around waiting for you to wake up."

"Then we'll talk later after you're done with your work."

Mila's eyes were too heavy to open. It was as if there were two large stones in both of her eyelids preventing her from opening her eyes. But Ezra kept screaming beside her and shaking herself awake.

"That's not all you woke up for. You also have to feed my son. Here is your milk."

Mila frowned and slowly s

    Nothing had Hunter so excited as the days before his parents had died. The days lately have always passed with lethargy without passion. But suddenly today Hunter is very excited to start his usually boring day. This morning he had news from the chief of police that the results of their investigation were starting to shed light. The chief wanted Hunter to come see him at the police station because they needed to have a serious talk before moving on to anything more serious.He drove at high speed from his house to the police station. He repeatedly honked at the grocery trucks moving slowly in front of him or at people who got in his way because he wanted to get to the police station quickly. He had a feeling he would get some good news today. If the chief of police had not come up with a name, he would not have summoned him and planned to continue with the investigation."I want to meet Mr. Hederburgh.”"Are you Hunter Louise?""Yes. We have an appointment today.”“Then the Chief is w

    "Where's Ezra?" “Morning Milla.” Felix grinned broadly as he stared at the dining table. “It's even time for lunch. You're clearly making fun of me, aren't you?" Mila snorted indignantly. She had just finished taking a shower. She was soaking in the warm water for almost an hour because she overslept for a few minutes in the bathroom. The warm water relaxed her and she couldn't resist the temptation to fall asleep. She just woke up when she felt her body getting cold and she didn't even realize that her skin was wrinkled from being exposed to water for too long. She panicked a bit as she came out of the bathroom, then quickly got dressed. She thought Ezra would be angry because she took so long to take a bath. But when she went downstairs, she didn't find Ezra anywhere. Instead, she only found Felix in the kitchen, preparing lunch. “Nope. You have every right to take a longer sleeep anyway. You just had a bad night. How are you feeling now?” "Thanks. Pretty good. If Ezra was goin

    Ariel jumped up quickly from her seat when her favorite man just stepped out of his Range Rover. The man removed the sunglasses that framed his beautiful eyes in an arrogant move that made Ariel melt. She pressed her palms against her face and let out a dramatic ohhh sound when she saw him walking towards her with very masculine, straight steps. Today the man was wearing jeans, a black sweater and a knee-length woolen coat and dark brown boots which made his appearance even more perfect on this cold day. Ariel couldn't stop looking at God's sexiest creature until she felt her jaw would drop to the floor any minute because she had gaped at the man for too long. "Is there anything I can do for you, handsome?" Ezra took the USB from his coat pocket and placed it on the table. “I need cctv footage yesterday. My girlfriend's apartment was burglarized again yesterday around after dinner. But I want full day cctv footage. Can you provide it for me?” "Of course handsome. And about your lo

    "Where have you been?" "Didn't Felix tell you?" Milla pursed her lips in annoyance. She hoped to get the answer from Ezra's lips directly. But Ezra was always annoying and instead reversed her questions. “I went to clean up the messes that happened in your life. You don't have to worry about your company while you're on leave.” "On leave? I didn't apply for leave and I don't intend to take time off. Are you going to kidnap me?” “You have to go somewhere to cool off. You've been stressed lately, haven't you? "I can handle it.. You don't have to worry about me." "The truth is I was worried about you. Last night you almost got killed. You must be traumatized." "Yeah, a little. I wanted to ask your permission to stay a few days at your house because I was afraid to go back to my apartment." "I checked your apartment this afternoon. No items were stolen. Only the walls of your room were damaged.” "You checked? So that crazy guy just wanted to scare me.” Mila snorted angrily. "He

    All examinations at the hospital went smoothly. Doctor Rosaline did not give Mila any medication because her condition was very good. Mila was only asked to increase her weight a little to make her more ideal. After that Doctor Rosaline congratulated her once again. They said they were ready to welcome the Christmas holidays with their families to tell the happy news.Mila smiled bitterly remembering Doctor Rosaline's words, if she had a family like Doctor Rosaline said, she would definitely be very happy to share this happy news. Even she also wanted to have a baby shower to welcome her baby in their midst. But never mind, Mila doesn't want to think about that now. She was satisfied enough that Ezra was beside her now. Although since earlier the man had been silent and did not give any comments for their baby.Ezra drove north, past a busy interstate as people started flocking to get out of town for the Christmas holidays. His car then turned onto a quieter country road. Past empty f

    Running away like a coward is something Ezra often does when he's confused about his life. He went to the club, trying to calm down while watching the hot women who had been shouting an invitation to him. But Ezra ignored them all and just sipped his brandy. It was cold out there making him want to get some warmth from this drink. Suddenly he felt a soft touch on his shoulder. Ezra turned and found a woman with shoulder-length blonde hair smiling at him. The woman made a gesture with her face that she wanted to sit next to him and Ezra motioned for her to sit down. "You seem to have a problem." "Are you not?" asked Ezra indifferently. "Yeah, it's ridiculous. But all humans have problems. Make me a margarita.” The woman was yelling at the bartender who was making drinks for other customers. “Anastasia. You?" "Ezra." "Well, why are you here, Ezra?" “Seeking solace I guess.” Anastasia nodded slowly. She turned the stool to face Ezra until her knees and Ezra's were touching. Anas

    Ezra clenched his jaw in annoyance. He doesn't know what her motivation is. Mila asks the reasons behind his past stories. Frankly, he's too lazy to talk about this. But if he didn't want this conversation to end in a ridiculous argument, he had to give an answer for Mila.“Because Anastasia is a wild woman. She moved from one club to another. She is a dance floor heater and very hot. Even into her three or four month pregnancy, she still went to clubs. We had to fight when I told her not to just stay at home for the rest of her pregnancy. Therefore I want the baby to be a boy. If the baby is a girl, I'm afraid Anastasia will raise the baby as a bitch. Are you happy now?"Milla was silent for a few seconds. Confused and concerned about what happened to Ezra in the past. She couldn't imagine having a child from such a wild woman.“You are a good and honorable woman. I believe that you can raise your baby well, it doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl."“Ok, so what happened after that

    Mila opened her eyes and she woke up in Ezra's arms. One thing is rare. In fact, she had never woken up in Ezra's arms while they were both naked. When Ezra stayed at her apartment or when she became Ezra's captive, they only slept in the same bed. But don't touch each other. And usually Ezra was gone when she opened her eyes the next day. But this time is different. She woke up still in Ezra's arms. Skin meets skin, rubbing against each other. stuck together. And so perfect. Ezra's strong arms wrapped around her back. Her head rested on Ezra's hard chest muscles. Her breath tickled Ezra's dark curly, but soft, chest hairs. Mila moved her palms, trying to touch Ezra's solid chest. She did it very slowly, afraid to wake Ezra who was still sleeping soundly with soft snores. The skin of Ezra's chest was limp and warm. Mila could feel Ezra's regular heartbeat. Beating in rhythm with his warm breath on the top of his head. Mila smiled widely replaying her memories with Ezra last night. Ev

    Mila walked through the living room towards the front door with her eyes half closed. Her apartment bell rang loudly many times to wake her who fell asleep after breastfeeding Gerrald in her baby room. Luckily, Gerrald didn't wake up because of the sound of the apartment bell that the annoying guest kept pressing repeatedly. "Wait a moment." Mila shouted in annoyance between the sound of the bell that kept echoing around her. Mila quickly pressed the combination numbers on the lock panel and a soft beep sounded at the door. The annoying knocker immediately burst in while growling in annoyance. “Why did you have to change your apartment password? I've been standing outside for half an hour." "I overslept while nursing Gerrald." Ezra's eyes moved down to Mila's blouse button which was not fully buttoned. He looked up briefly to meet Mila's face, then his hands quickly reached for the buttons of the blouse to button. “What are you doing? I can do it myself.” "To shorten the time."

    3 months later The people applauded enthusiastically after the red ribbon for the inauguration of the new office was cut by the main star. Camera flash immediately rained down on his body mercilessly until it felt like he would go blind any minute. But Ezra can't complain too much about the enthusiasm people have for the merger between his company and Mila's company which is now growing rapidly. The three months since the shooting incident at Mila's apartment have brought many changes to their lives. Especially now that they have a little man in the middle of their new life. Mila smiled a little at Ezra's figure who was serving the paparazzi who were busy surrounding him. Ezra practically looks like a lump of sugar swarmed by hungry ants. Mila's hands occasionally rocked her stroller when her little one, baby Gerrald, whined a little because of the noise around him. Gerrald was used to the silence in her penthouse. He was rarely exposed to the noise of the paparazzi who would hunt h

    Ezra moved warily to protect Mila behind his back. He cursed many times for not incapacitating Jonas first before discussing things with Mila. "But what did you come into my apartment for?" Jonas smiled wryly. He pretended to pat his denim jacket as if it was dusty. Jonas has a bruise on his right jaw from Ezra's precise fist that landed there shortly after he snuck into Mila's apartment. "To get revenge on you." Jonas took a gun out from under his boots and pointed it at Mila and Ezra. “Drop your weapon or you will regret choosing to do that.” “Are you scared, Ezra? You're not the only one with a gun. Even I have it too. You have destroyed my plans. I thought you were already rotting in hell, but you tricked us all.” “Glad that you were stupid enough and duped. You have terrorized Mila and disturbed her life.” "Because of you. I had forgotten about my stupid desire to take revenge on you when you were reportedly drowned in the sea. But who would have thought that you would ri

    "Ssshhh... Don't scream, Mila!" "Who are you?" Mila's body froze when an arm stretched forward and hugged her chest until her shoulders pressed against the man's chest. From his voice and body aroma the man was very similar to Ezra. But it is not possible. Ezra is dead. Even the police had given her an official statement that the rescue team had not been able to find Ezra's body that had fallen into the sea. "You can't possibly forget me. You know me so well, Mila.” "Ezra is dead. Don't try to be Ezra in front of me." Mila's voice trembled as she tried to bully the man. In fact, Mila almost fell to the floor if the man's strong arms didn't support her shoulders. "Look at me." Mila's body was rotated one hundred and eighty degrees until now Mila was facing a man whose face was very similar to Ezra's. Her face stiffened as she stared at the man's face. Mila wanted to push the man's chest away, but her body couldn't move because she was too shocked by what was happening before her

    "Wait here. I won't be long." Meyer stopped his car in the middle of the forest and let Ezra get out of his car to walk along the path in the middle of a lonely forest. "Good luck. Make Felix pee his pants seeing your ghost.” Meyer laughed loudly before Ezra slammed his car door loudly. Ezra walked to his lonely hunting house in the middle of the forest. He had seen Mila come with Jonas crying hysterically in Felix's arms. Apparently Felix didn't wait until the next morning to tell Mila that he had fallen overboard and might have died. His palms itched to punch Jonas when he saw him put his arm around Mila's shoulders. But luckily Felix chased him away quickly and Mila didn't try to keep Jonas from staying in his house. Ezra decided to make a detour through the back of his cabin. He saw the kitchen light was still on and saw Felix's silhouette standing by the sink. Looks like Felix and Mila are talking about something serious. He then hid behind the firewood storage rack, waiting

    The high and ferocious waves rocked his boat so many times that he couldn't even sit still in the boat. His face was wet and his lips were twitching coldly because of the splash of sea water that was almost below freezing. The buoys and layers of clothing that wrapped around his body couldn't block the super cold sea breeze that was blowing very hard around him. Only a madman would go out to sea in the midst of a raging storm like this one. And damn that crazy person is him. Meyer repeatedly looked up at the sky, hoping that a violent storm would not come soon because he was still bobbing in the middle of the sea. It would take him at least another twenty minutes at the earliest to get to the beach and quickly find a warm place to keep him from catching frostbite in the morning. At first Meyer thought his ship was being hit by waves again. He heard the sound of water hitting solid objects, and then the boat shook slightly. He had almost given up on surviving in the middle of the sea

    "Thanks Felix. I don't know where else to go but here. My apartment is not a good choice when I have problems with Jonas.” Mila took a sip of her hot chocolate, letting the delicious chocolate liquid flow down her throat and calm her down. She was on the verge of deep frustration. “I told you that his intentions weren't pure.” Felix took a place in front of Mila while looking at her concerned. "I know it. But I don't think he will force me to accept his proposal. He's crazy. He even screamed in the restaurant and made us both a spectacle.” "Relax Milla. You can't be stressed. Remember what Doctor Rosaline said at the last check-up." Mila sighed and nodded. "I remember. My blood pressure is very low and I have to have a transfusion if it stays low.” “Good girl. Better forget about Jonas. You have to distance yourself from him." "I have done. But he often comes to my apartment, helping me organize my future baby's room. How could I possibly ignore his kindness.” "Now he won't c

    "Thanks for inviting me to dinner, Jo." "You're welcome. Please sit down Mila.” Mila smiled faintly and pulled the chair in front of her. Jonas looked like he was about to pull out a chair for her, but Mila refused and said that pregnant women are not disabled. "How's the little one?" "Very good. Well it's been seven months, two more months before his birth. Really really fast.” Mila sighed softly. "I'm grateful. I'm glad to see you're fine. The last few months have been tough for you." "Very tough." Mia smiled weakly. It was a miracle that she survived two more months without Ezra by her side. She had shed tons of tears since the past two months. When finally the rescue team failed to find Ezra and the police officially stated that Ezra was lost due to drowning in the sea. Her legs literally went limp when she received the news. She almost fell to the ground if Felix didn't put his arm around her shoulders and support her limp body. Her heart… she didn't know if her heart had

    Hunter was ushered out of his cage into the courtroom. After a week in jail, now Hunter looks so messy and ugly. His face was pale and shabby. The dark circles under his eyes were very dark. Hunter let his sideburns grow wildly on his face so that he looked like an old hermit who had just been taken out of a cave. Hunter's hands were handcuffed behind his back. Hunter took a deep breath in the scent of the courtroom and felt a tinge of relief that he could finally smell something other than the rotting smell of rotting prison food. Two policemen gently pushed Hunter's shoulders and pressed him to sit on the prison chair. Not many were present at his trial. Hunter didn't even expect anyone to come. But suddenly his eyeballs met Mila's eyeballs who were looking at him gloomily. Mila's face was somber and it looked like she had been wallowing in sadness for so long that there were no traces of joy on her face. Hunter's breath caught when he learned that Mila was present at the trial thi
