Suddenly a gunshot was heard from inside the theatre. Hunter paused briefly to see what was going on. Panic screams started to sound very loud from inside the theater building and people were seen starting to scatter out.

"What happened?"

“Screw them. The auction must not have gone well.”

Mila panicked even more when Hunter pulled her closer to his car. There was no chance of escaping at all. People from inside the theater poured out and they were too busy to save themselves from the chaos that was happening in the theatre.

Mila had completely given up when they almost reached Hunter's car. But a shot suddenly rang behind them, and Hunter suddenly released his grip and growled loudly.

“Let Mila go you bastard!”

"Ezra?" muttered Mila confused. She saw Hunter groaning in pain while holding his bleeding arm. But strangely she actually felt relieved and she ran away from Hunter towards Ezra who was standing holding a gun near the balcony steps.

"Ezra, what happened? What's wrong wi

    Mila was watching the midnight news about the shooting at the theater three days ago when Ezra suddenly came and turned off the television. Ezra glared at Mila and told her to pack up quickly. “What are you doing? Why did you suddenly appear and disturb me?” “We must go now. I saw two Toyota cars moving this way. They could be Edward's men." “Edwards? How did you know they were heading to this house?” "Anyway I know. You don't have to ask too many questions." Mila snorted sharply. “Why did he order someone to chase us?” “Because you are clearly their treasure. Come on, don't talk shit too much, and hurry up and get ready." "Wait." Mila stopped Ezra in his tracks and grabbed his wrist. "What fucking else?" "Where's my brooch?" "I'll give it to you later. Now quickly grab your jacket and put on your shoes.” “I want my brooch now. Where's my brooch, Ezra? Didn't you give it to me?" Mila folded her arms in front of her chest arrogantly. A few minutes ago she had just seen a ph

    "Ezra!" Mila shrieked. She was panting. Sweat was pouring down her forehead profusely when she managed to recognize Ezra's profile in front of her. She was absolutely terrified that one of their assailants would find her and arrest her."Why did you do that?" whispered Mila annoyed. She tried to push Ezra's chest away, but Ezra pressed his body against her even more and glared sharply."Are you trying to run away?""I don't. I just... I just want to get out of here. Too stuffy.” Mila pretends to cough. She was getting hotter because Ezra still locked her body tightly.“Didn't Felix tell you to hide and not go anywhere until one of us comes? What if those damn people find you?”"But they didn't find me," Mila replied skeptically. “Now let me go. Have they left already?”"I've finished them all. It would be foolish for them to think they could beat me.”"You damn arrogant man. Who are they?"“Edward's men. We should have left here long ago. But you just ramble and hinder our journey.”"

    "Did you know that you're the most dickheaded and sexiest man I've ever known?" "I know that I'm a hot guy." Ezra grabbed Mila by the nape and brought her closer. He hugged Mila's naked body, stroked her hair gently and then kissed her hard on the lips. He can never get enough of Mila. Especially if Mila is lying next to him naked, with a charming smile on her beautiful face. "You drive me crazy, Mila." Mila giggled. She held Ezra's lips with his index finger as Ezra pushed his head, about to kiss her again. "Oh come on, I still want you, Mila." “Hmm... I think it's time for you to wake up. Someone needs you." “Nobody needs me. I really need you right now to quell my crazy passion.” Ezra exclaimed in frustration. He tried to remove Mila's hand from his lips, then hugged Mila's body tightly. "You know, I've never regretted what I did." "Is this an honesty?" "I'm very honest." Ezra nodded firmly. He took Mila's hand and kissed her fingers one by one. "How about you?" "What?"

    Mila did not know where she was taken. Along the way they passed a dark road that occasionally winding. But the whole path they took was so straight that she grew bored and sleepy. She fell asleep the rest of the rather long journey. She was lucky that those damn men didn't hurt her or try to touch her. The two men sitting on either side were stiff like robots. They rarely spoke, their seats were very upright, and they certainly weren't as rough as the big guy driving. Mila is very grateful for that. And now they had arrived at an empty medium-sized house. Mila knows that the house is empty because there are no lights around the house. It is located very far from human civilization of course. The men and their real captors couldn't have been stupid and put her in a house in a densely populated area. "Get down. We have arrived." Mila was initially reluctant to come down because she was so sleepy and her legs were starting to hurt. But the two men on either side began to carry out th

    Shit! Ezra couldn't stop cursing because he was foolishly influenced by Mila's words. It was reverberating in his head noisily since two hours ago so he couldn't concentrate on his work. Though tomorrow he has a meeting with Edward's company. He would fool Edward until he actually received a crushing defeat and ended up rotting in hell.Ezra glanced at the brown envelope containing Mila's signed documents this afternoon. All they have to do is get Edward's signature, and all the assets belonging to Kohen James will go to Mila."Why are you drinking and not going to sleep?"“I'm not a five-year-old boy, Felix. You don't need to check on me in my own study."Ezra violently downed his brandy and glared at Felix. The man walked into his den and closed the door behind him."You want to talk?""Yes. First of all I want to thank you.”"Tch, we've known each other for a long time. What are you thanking me for, Felix?”"I want to thank you because you didn't push Mila to abort her baby.""I di

    When Mila opened her eyes, the room around her had turned brightly lit. Sunlight streamed in through the cracks in the roof with holes. Mila could hear the boisterous sound of birds chirping outside. They sing cheerfully, or even jump from one branch to another. In stark contrast to her very pitiful condition. She was tied to a chair, hair disheveled, skin covered in bruises from last night's accident, and the corner of her lip bleeding from the big damn big guy slapping her. This was the worst condition she had ever been in. In all the time she had lived with Hunter, she had never experienced this kind of tension. She lives like a princess. Wearing beautiful dresses, a car is always available twenty-four hours to take her anywhere, and a safe environment. Yeah, but it's all bullshit. It was a charade created by the Louises to get their hands on her inheritance. Even though she didn't trust Ezra one hundred percent, but so far she had proven that Ezra's words were true. After she pro

    When Ezra arrived at the hospital, he saw a police car parked in the parking lot. Ezra cursed softly. Today he was very unlucky and he would have to give false testimony if the cops questioned him. Before he stepped out, his cell phone rang. One of his men was on the phone and he quickly answered. "What's wrong? Have you finished off all of them?" “We killed three people. One more person seems to have escaped.” “Looks like he died too. The car overturned at a crossroads, two miles south of the house. You don't need to sort it up. The police will come and sort it out. You guys just need to take care of those three idiots.” “We will. Is there anything else you want, boss?” "No. But stay alert. The cops will probably be lurking within a ten mile radius of the house.” "Copy that, sir." Ezra turned off his phone and rushed to get Mila out of the back seat, who had fainted. He called any nurse who happened to be passing by in the lobby, then told her to immediately provide gurney. H

    It was ten hours after Felix informed him of the shocking news that Mila was expecting his baby. Ezra is currently sitting alone in a bar, twenty minutes drive from the hospital where Felix and Mila are being treated. He decided to come here because he couldn't just wait in that place doing nothing. The doctor had met him five hours ago to tell him about the details of Mila's condition. He says Mila is fine so far. According to the young doctor who treated Mila, it was a miracle to be grateful for. It's rare for a pregnant woman in her first trimester not to be seriously injured when she gets into a horrific accident. Even the most shocking, the fetus also survived all these horrific events. Ezra knew how bad it was going to be. It's not just a car accident that makes the car roll over and over on the road. But Mila has experienced worse things than being stuck in a car that rolled over on the road. He didn't know what kind of torture Mila was subjected to in that warehouse before he

    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
