Mila was checking a pile of financial reports when someone knocked on her office door quietly.

"Come in."

Mila's eyes did not move from the pile of documents. She was poring over every financial data, comparing the numbers from the first month to this month, then calculating any discrepancies. Everything seemed fine at first. But the more Mila reads and compares them, she knows that something odd is going on. The financial statements are manipulated. At least the company lost about five million dollars in a month which is not stated for what the money is for in this report.

“Ms. Milla."

“Mr. Peterson?"

Mila raised her head, surprised that Mr. Peterson who came into her room.

“Sit down. Why did you come to my room?"

Mr. Peterson glanced at the documents scattered on Mila’s desk. The look in his eyes conveyed a deep regret. And as he sat himself up in the chair, he let out a heavy sigh.

"You must have found irregularities in those financial reports."

"Yes. And that's a ve

    Surprisingly Mila got a package, a medium sized box wrapped in silver wrapping paper and a red ribbon. At first glance the package looks like a very sweet Christmas present. Mila got it this afternoon after she saw the production process at her factory. As she was returning from the factory, her secretary informed her that she had received a package and had placed it on the table. Mila doesn't know who sent the package because there was no sender's name on the box. When she tried to ask Stella, her secretary, she also had no idea who the pack came from. The package was sent by a courier because Stella saw the man wearing the uniform of an expeditionary service that was quite famous in her city. Mila weighed the box in her hands. She hasn't opened it yet. She decided to open it with Ezra in the apartment. Somehow she became paranoid since she got terror last night. Maybe it was a package from the terrorizer. But she didn't want to speculate too much now as that would only stress her o

    "Where did you learn to cook?" "Didn't I say before that I'm learning to survive?" "But you are very rich. You have a maid who can serve you twenty-four hours non-stop.” Mila sat on a stool and propped her chin on the bar counter while watching Ezra who was cooking. When Ezra turned his back on her to wash the vegetables, Mila wanted so badly to rest her head on his stunning back. That seems like a lot of fun. Unfortunately Ezra turned around in a hurry because the pan started hissing. Ezra did better than she did. Even his knife wielding skill is superb. Mila wonders why Ezra can be whatever he is needed at the moment. Ezra can become a company leader, Ezra can become an assassin, and now Ezra can become a chef. Mila was very jealous of all the skills Ezra had. And when she expressed her jealousy, Ezra gave her an annoying answer. "I don't like relying on maids." Ezra sautéed garlic and then performed an attraction that amazed Mila. Flames licked the pan as Ezra poured oil over

    This time the message was very specific. Ezra lifted the paper, then closed the box quickly because he couldn't stand the stench. He then looked for clear plastic in the kitchen to wrap the terror paper. They may need it later to discover the identity of the terrorizer. "You okay?" Ezra appeared in the bathroom doorway three minutes later. Mila crouched weakly in front of the toilet. She still looks nauseous and is about to vomit her stomach juices again. But she deliberately stuffed her mouth with her palm so she would not vomit again. “I've thrown it away. When you're done, I'll walk you to your room." "Who sent a dead cat like that?" asked Mila hoarsely. Ezra crouched beside her and shook his head. He was quite concerned to see Mila's condition which was very pathetic. Even Mila was pregnant, but that person terrorized her very viciously. “I will find him and finish him off. Don’t worry. You're safe with me." Milla's eyes glistened. She didn't miss the opportunity to lean on

    A police chief who met him and greeted him when this afternoon he set foot into the central police station in Chicago. Hunter is not surprised that a few bills can make things run smoother. Yesterday after he got the cigarette butt from Viktor, he immediately called the Chicago police and made it known that he wanted his parents' death case investigated more thoroughly, and he was happy to pay whatever the investigation fee would cost him personally. A telephone answerer who was a low ranking policeman promised him he would tell his chief about it. Then this morning Hunter got a call from the Chicago police that the chief wanted to meet with him to talk about the findings Hunter mentioned on the phone yesterday. "Please, have a sit." “Thank you, Mr. Hedenburgh. Am I bothering you?" "No. Of course not. Every day the police get various kinds of cases and problems. At any time, we actually always have work to finish. And your coming here is related to the shooting that happened to you

    The sound of a horn startled Mila who was looking down to check some emails on her cell phone. When she looked up, she saw Jonas’s white Honda coming towards her. Mila could already see Jonas behind the steering wheel, waving at her. “Mila. You've been waiting long?" “Not really. I just went out and checked my emails.” "Come in." Mila got into the car and put her bag at her feet. She buckled up, but again she struggled because her belly was too big and protruding forward. "Let me help." Their hands touch each other. Mila was a little surprised and let go of the seat belt when Jonas took over. "Sorry. I'm not used to my new body condition. Yeah, you know that right? This is troublesome. I can't move freely." "I know. Don’t worry." Mila pressed her head against the back of the chair as Jonas stared at her intensely. She knew this was wrong. She meant that she had no right to go out with Jonas and be this close. And Jonas just smiled really sweetly at her and winked one eye misc

    Ezra pressed the apartment bell three times and waited. He couldn't hear anything from inside the apartment and there was only silence. Ezra pressed the bell once again, but there was no response from the apartment owner. Ezra started to think the apartment was empty. So he was thinking of coming back later or tomorrow after he went to see the owner of apartment 502 before someone suddenly appeared behind him. "What were you doing in front of my apartment?" “You Mrs. Aubrey?" The woman was old, maybe around sixty. There were two bags of groceries that she clutched tightly to her chest. Ezra stepped back and tried to be respectful in the presence of this old woman. "Sorry to bother you, ma'am. I was just wondering if you called in a plumber yesterday to fix your drains?” "That's right. Robert Willey. It was Anette who recommended the man to me when I complained to her that my drains were a bit problematic. The pipes are dirty and need to be cleaned, so the water flow is blocked.”

    It wasn't difficult to cripple a stranger. Ezra quickly nudged his ribs with his sharp elbows, then dropped the switchblade which had scraped the skin of his neck while parrying the stranger's attack to his face. The foreign man groaned in pain. He tried to reach his penknife which was thrown five yards from where he stood. But Ezra kicked his hand, then stamped his palm so hard that the man whimpered in pain and took off his hat."Damn you! Get your damn feet out of my hands.”“You still can't beat me, Meyer. You think pretending to be a badass in an elevator can trick me, huh?"'"Don't you want me to keep an eye on your lover's apartment?""Your disguise actually makes others misunderstand."“Arrghhh you are going to break my precious hand.”Meyer pounded Ezra's leg with his free hand, trying hard to brush Ezra's sole away from his almost flattened palm."And you suck so badly. You lost your precision and accuracy in attacking your opponent because you played around with your bitch

    Mila took off the seat belt that was wrapped around her body. This time she did it quickly so Jonas didn't have a chance to unbuckle the seatbelt and try to get closer to her. “Thank you very much for a very delicious dinner tonight. And also the jokes you throw at me. Very entertaining." "You're welcome. Glad to make you laugh, Mila.” Jonas smiled broadly. It's the best night he's ever had since his breakup with Mila. He laughed a lot, ate well, and talked about things he didn't like at the hospital. He could talk about the arrogant doctors he met at the hospital or his annoying patients. Everything feels so good today. "Next time I will treat you." “Tsk, I don't mind treating you again. Just tell me if you need someone to eat with, I'll definitely come.” "Thank you. See you soon, Jonas." Mila opened the door beside her, about to step out, but Jonas suddenly grabbed her arm and threw her body on the chair. Jonas quickly kissed her on the cheek, then winced shyly. Meanwhile Mil

    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
