'Aww!'I woke up early and felt pain in my buttocks. However, I feel better. That morning was different from my usual mornings. I turned on my side and smiled. Russell was hugging me and resting her head on one of my arms. I tried something new with her, which I enjoyed. I moved a little, and my shoulder hurt. I breathed deeply.'This time, I'm sure I can get your evidence.' I thought.I carefully moved her hand away so I could get up from the bed. Russell turned around and faced the other side of the bed, which allowed me to leave her side. I even looked at Russell while she was sleeping. The comforter went down to her hips, showing me the shape of her body. I quickly went around to the other side of the bed and pulled the comforter over her naked body.I kissed her on the head and walked toward the bathroom. I stood before the toilet bowl and put my hand on the wall. Damn, this is what I hate doing in the morning. After I peed, I went to the shower room."Damn it!" I let out a weak
Russell's POV'What's he doing here? He didn't even call to let me know he was coming.'I moved closer to Ryan, who was sitting on the bench. He drinks juice while stroking Ice's fur. I noticed he took Ice from the maid earlier, which surprised me because I know Ryan dislikes dogs or other animals."Hey, what are you doing here?" I asked as soon as I got close enough to him. The table was between us on the other side of the seat.I need to be careful with what I say and do so that Daniel and I can stay calm."It's because I miss you," he says. "Since we graduated, I haven't seen you. You don't seem to notice even when I comment on your social media accounts, even though I know you're online.""You know I'm married, and you also know I've been avoiding you, so I'm wondering why you're here."Ryan smirked. "It's like we're not friends. Even if I like you, I can still be a good friend without ruining your relationship with your husband."I didn't say anything; I just looked at him as he
Daniel's POV"Ugh!"I whined as we fell on top of the car. I hugged Russell when she was on top of me. Russell and I were almost deaf because the car alarm was so loud. I felt pain in my shoulder, and it looked like it was bleeding again."Damn, that alarm!" I said. I was irritable. I looked at Russell and stopped hugging him."Baby, are you alright?" I asked, worried.Russell looked at me with teary eyes and a frown. "Damn it, are you attempting to murder me?""Huh. I'll die before you, babe.""Here they are!"Russell and I looked at the third floor, where our pursuers were. I stood up quickly, although my back and shoulders hurt greatly. I got out of the car and helped Russell get out."Do you have your car with you?" I said as we quickly walked away from there. I can't run because my back hurts at the hip."Are you forgetting that I don't know how to drive?" Russell said. "Ryan just drove me here."We stopped walking. "Ryan? Why did you meet him? I thought...""Haist, you have noth
Daniel's POV"What? "Russell asked, surprised. "Why me alone? Why don't we go home together? "I looked at Javier briefly, then returned to Russell and walked toward her. I was going to touch her, but I stopped when she moved a little away. I was slightly surprised by what she did and didn't expect it, but I figured out what she was doing."Baby, I have to make sure you're safe. I do not like..."I'm not leaving.""Babe, it's dangerous.""I do not want. Am I going to leave you in this state? No way, I'm not going anywhere.""Babe, listen to me. What is happening now is a serious situation. I don't want my work to hurt or affect you," I said."I don't want to, and I won't go home without you.""Why don't you want to do it?"I'm also a little annoyed. I have to be stubborn with my wife to intimidate her. I am the man, so that I will protect her. "I have no idea what you want. You don't need to join my mission. It's work, baby. It's not a game.""Game?" Russell asked me, "Do you think of
Russell's POV 'What is this?' After I spoke with Daniel, I immediately ended the call. I looked carefully at what was attached to Ice's collar. There is something stuck there. I still stared at it like a... "Camera?" I asked with a frown. "Why is there a camera here?" I just stared at it but didn't stay on the collar. I thought that Daniel had set it up to watch over me. "But how long has it been attached to it?" I turned to my phone when I noticed the caller on the screen. It was Daniel's number, but he didn't make a call but sent a message. Babe, I don't trust my colleagues. What you got is important, so I must get it, but I can't risk your life. Can we meet? At the coffee shop outside the village. I frowned. Daniel used his original number land, not just the number I called. But if he's outside the village, he might have gotten his phone from wherever he left it, maybe at the hospital. He took it from his fellow policeman. "Okay, I'll be there in 10 minutes," I said while t
Daniel's POV"Where are you going, sir?" Enriquez asked."I'll go find the USB." I continued walking until I got to the elevator. I pressed down on the button. "Javier, I'll leave you here.""Huh? Why?" Javier was surprised."You too, Enriquez," I said. "I can't trust another police officer with my wife. I want you two to watch out for her while I'm gone.""But sir, how about you?""I'm okay." I just said. "Keep me posted on what happens." When the elevator door opened, I got in.Javier and Enriquez just looked at each other until the elevator doors closed.–I went to the office to check the CCTV footage from the two establishments near the crime scene. I'm watching from two angles. While seeing what was happening, I tightened my jaw. Whoever that man is, I'm going to make sure I use up my gun's bullet in his body. I clenched because I was so freaking annoyed and mad. Oh man, that little guy didn't give up! Even after he shot my wife, he still came up to Russell.When I saw that the
Daniel's POV I left home and drove to the hospital, but someone followed me. Instead of going to the hospital, I changed my route and quickly called Enriquez. "Sir, are you on your way to the hospital now?" Enriquez asked. "Someone's following me, so I can't go straight there. Any new there?" I asked. "Everything is well, sir. Someone came to the hospital and knew the family." "Came? Who?" "I don't know him, sir. But he's young and handsome. He's familiar with everyone, so he is a close family friend. "What does he look like?" "He looks Chinese-Korean. I'm not sure." "Damn, that's Ryan. What did he do there? How did he know about what happened to Russell?" "I don't know, sir. As far as we know, the family has not yet released a statement to the press. They advised the hospital staff to keep the event secret according to the family's wish and the investigation." "Then how did he know that she was in that hospital?" I asked. 'Damn, what's his plan?' I thought. "You should pr
Daniel's POV"You're irresponsible!"A powerful blow landed on my face when Papa arrived at the hospital. When he called Ryker's phone, he wanted to send me home, but I couldn't leave Russell without a police officer. Javier and Enriquez were busy with the two suspects who ambushed me earlier. Instead of asking if I was okay, he punched me. He was worried about my wife, for which I thanked him because he cared, but he was ashamed of Russell's parents because he said that I neglected Russell and that it was my fault and my job that my wife was here in the hospital."When are you going to leave that job, huh?" Papa snorted at me. "Are you going to wait for your wife or you to die before you stop?""I will not stop...""What do you think you could call what you did? Do you see where your husband is now?"I didn't answer anymore. I just took a deep breath. Mama came closer to me and touched both of my cheeks.I heard you were hurt, so Russell went to the hospital before she was hospitaliz
