“Hello? Mariko?” Lincoln asked on the other line while Mariko muted the call.

“Will you shut up? Go there. Stop eavesdropping.” Mariko hisses as she glared at Marcus.

Marcus stood straight and looked at Mariko with a stern look on his face. “Why? Are you trying to hide something from me? Am I not your boyfriend, now?” Marcus asked.

Mariko scoffed. She unmute the phone call and talked back to Lincoln. “Lincoln, I will call you later.” She didn’t wait for his response and pressed the red button to end the call.

“You? My boyfriend? Who says you’re my boyfriend?” Mariko asked sarcastically.

Marcus shrugged as he looked at her in disbelief. “Am I not? Then, what does all this mean to you?”

“There is nothing between us, okay? Don’t be too full for yourself. What happened between us is nothing. So, don’t expect me to accept you.”

Marcus scoffed. “Why? Is it because you have your Lincoln now?” His jaw clenched when jealousy rose in him.

Mariko raised her brow. “And what does Lincoln have to d

    “Wait, what? No way!” Mariko declined.She doesn’t want to expose her name in the crowd. Mariko likes hiding in the shadows rather than being exposed to the limelight.“Yes, way,” Megan said.“But I am not rich.-”“Don’t tell lies. We already knew who you were.” Mariko’s eyes narrowed as her brows knitted quizzically.‘What are they talking about? Do they know who I really am?

You are a secret multi-billionaire woman and a member of one of the richest families in Japan.” Alexis stated.“Did you guys have investigated me?” She asked.Megan raised her hand. “I did. After seeing your luxurious closet, I can’t help but figure out who you really are. So I asked someone I knew about your identity.

    “Not on my watch,” Marcus said to the gang's leader.“Stay right behind me,” Marcus said to Mariko.“Did you forget? I am a skilled fighter. I don’t need your protection.” Mariko whispered.“But you are wearing that. Of course, you can’t fight,” he stated.“Fine. If you insist, let’s see, how good you are at fighting, right now.” Mariko challenged him.“Blah… blah… blah… Stop talking will you?

    It was Saturday and Mariko felt bored inside her penthouse.“Argh! Dammit! I have nothing to do!” Mariko groaned.She looked at the ceiling while lying on the couch. Her feet were leaning on the walls, while her head was hanging on the couch. She was in an upside-down position. She sighed for the third time, thinking about what she would do for the rest of the weekend. She has no work, so she ended up cleaning the whole house. And now she has nothing to do because there’s nothing left to clean. She regretted why she decided to stay for a month before coming back to Japan. She just talk to the board of directors and with Lincoln Webber through a video conference, as she felt lazy going out of the country.Suddenly, the phone beside her rang. She looked at the screen to see who it was. It was Orianna’s number that popped up on her screen. She pressed the green button and answered the call.“What’s up?” She asked.“Mariko, are you busy?” She asked.“No. I’m not. Why?”“Can I ask you a fa

She looked at Sophie quizzically but when Sophie winked at her, she understood what the little girl was trying to do. Sophie wants to get rid of Marcus, as she was afraid Marcus might take her Aunt Mariko and she will be left alone. “Mariko. Who is this child? Why did she call you a mommy? Is she your daughter? Do you really have a daughter?!” Mariko glared at Marcus. “It’s none of your business,” Mariko said before standing up. She held Sophie’s hand and they walked out, leaving Marcus dumbfounded. “Who is he, Aunt Mariko?” Sophie asked. “He was just someone I don’t want to be with,” Mariko smiled at her and caressed her chin which had her giggle. “Are you hungry?” Mariko asked. Sophie nodded, but Sophie looked at Mariko’s back and saw Marcus following them. “He is following us, Auntie,” She informed Mariko. “Mariko,” Marcus called her. “What?! If you have nothing to say, leave us alone,” Marik

And why you are with her?” He asked continuously, which made Mariko laugh.It was the first time Mariko laughed at him, and he couldn’t help but smile. His emotions are filled with happiness. Seeing her happy gives him joy too.“Come on, Marcus. How can I have a baby when I don’t have any boyfriends yet?” Mariko was still laughing, shaking her head as she finds him ridiculous.“But she called you her mommy.” He was still puzzled about who really the kid was to her.“I like the way you smile… I like hearing you laugh.

I’m sure your sister will understand that you need to be happy too.” Marcus said.Mariko snorted. “It’s easy for you to say. Because you’re not in my position.”“Believe me, Mariko. I know how you feel. I’ve lost someone in my life too. And you know that. She’s the very first person I admired the most… My mom. You are lucky that you find the person who hit your mother. Even if that person is me. But in my mother’s case, until now… we haven’t known who or what group are they who killed my mom.”“Have you forgiven them?” Mariko asked bluntly.Marcus shook his head. “Not yet. Because it still hurts here.” Marcus pointed at his left chest where his heart was. “But I am trying to forgive them to give myself freedom.

    “Please, tell me, Mariko. Who are her parents.” Christian’s teeth gritted, and he clenched as he asked Mariko sternly. But Mariko remained silent as she was thinking.

Or else Sophie will not keep her blabbering mouth to speak. “Tell me!” His voice raised when he did not hear her talk. The other guests in the restaurant and the crew turn their heads at them as Christian’s voice roar inside the restaurant. He also slammed the table with his two bare hands.

Besides, you have no right to know who Sophia’s parents are. Because you are not her father nor a relat

    FINALE!!!Mariko woke up with a dizzy feeling. She looked at the ceiling, with a frown.‘Where am I?’ she wondered.Mariko looked around and noticed that she was in the room. White ceiling and walls with a touch of the color gold. There was a round table and two chairs in front of the king-sized bed.She checked herself if she was still wearing her clothes, and Mariko sighed in relief when she was still wearing the same clothes.‘Am I at the enemies’ den? But why does this place look extravagant? Is the person who ambushed them rich? That would be possible. There are plenty of Mafia groups in this country who are billionaires as well.’ She thought.Mariko also noticed the cuffs that were made of steel locked on her feet. And they tied it in the post, but her hands were free. She also noticed that she didn't have her weapons with her anymore, which made her hiss.Suddenly, she remembered Marcus. ‘What about Marcus? Where did they hide him? Did they also lock him in a room like this?’ s

If that’s what you want. I won’t stop you. And I wish you good luck.” She smiled as she wished him good luck.“I’ll just have to wait for you in the car. Because you promised mom to bring me back home.” Bobbie wiggled her brows. She doesn’t want to go home, wearing a gown while using public transportation.“Yeah. I did not forget about that. I’ll see later,” he said before he went inside the ball and look for Mariko.Marcus was having a hard time looking for Mariko as the venue was huge and there were a total of six hundred guests who were invited to the event.‘Fuck

The man who melts her icy heart. Marcus Reed. Mariko was surprised to see Marcus on the Gala night.‘What is he doing here?’ she wondered.Their eyes locked with each other as Marcus approached her, but both of them got stunned when George pulled Mariko toward him and kissed her on the lips.

He clenched and frowned. ‘Asshole,’ he thought as he was glaring at George.Suddenly, a soft hand crawled down to his hand and it clasped to his. Marcus looked at the person next to him, who was staring at the two people kissing. While Mariko pushed George and wiped her lips. She glared at him, but George seemed not affected by her blazing stare. Mariko looked at Marcus who had now a woman beside him. She fr

    “I will pretend to be your girlfriend. Why? Because you’re pitiful, and I wanted to earn money. And my mother doesn’t know about all of this. You can use me to get your woman jealous. In exchange, you will pay me the right price.” “Are you serious?” Marcus was stunned at what she just had said. “Well, I just need money… And you need someone to use to make your girlfriend jealous… So, it’s a win-win situation. Don’t you like it?” she asked. Marcus scrutinized her. If she was dead serious about what she just said. The woman in front of him will not see any remorse. And it was evident that what she said was deep. Marcus heaved a sigh. ‘I don’t want to use her if Mrs. Suarez did not know all this.’ “Go to my office tomorrow, and let’s talk about this matter with your mom. I also want to inform her about this plan before I will agree with you. But get yourself ready. Because if she agrees, then you will be my date on the upcoming gala night.” He informed her. *** Morning came, and Ma

    “Was it related to Mariko, your ex-girlfriend?” Catherine asked.“Yes,” Marcus simply answered.“But I think you don’t have to do it.” Marcus frowned at what Catherine had said.“Why?” he asked.“Simply because she doesn’t deserve your love.” Catherine bluntly said.Marcus looked at Catherine. Her face was so severe, and she looked pissed. “Are you mad?” He asked.“Obviously, yes. Because of that bitch, Uncle Ethan died for nothing. He left you when you needed her. She has no conscience. She’s heartless! And I hate her.” ‘Hmp!’ Catherine scoffed. She put her arms crossed under her chest and pouted her lips. While her eyes were glaring sideways.“Are you that affected?” He asked.“Who wouldn’t be? After all the things our family has done for her. You took care of her when she was in the hospital, unconscious. But when she woke up from a coma, the first thing that came to her mind was to leave you. “ Catherine rolled her eyes.“She’s a bitch.” Catherine exclaimed. “You don’t deserve to

    ‘He sees me. What would be his reaction? Did he hate me? After I left, I decided not to step into this country again. But things happened and I needed to come here for my company. I did not expect that we will meet again. And this bastard did not tell me and made his actions on his own. Dammit!’ Mariko’s mind was full of thoughts that she did not even listen to what George had said. It was like George confessed his love to her, but she was not interested in what he had just said. She was just interested in the news about Marcus, who followed them. Somehow, her feelings towards Marcus never change.‘If only I could turn back the time. That time before I got kidnapped. I should have been more prepared.’“Mariko, hear me out.” Mariko came back from her deep thoughts when George spoke.Frustrated, Mariko raised both of her hands as if she was surrendering. “George… Stop it, will you?
