Two days had passed...

Tiffany's moods were dwindling as Erland had truly died; he no longer contacted her nor returned. She also failed to get a response from Franco when she tried reaching out, making her think that this was all because her husband wanted to distance himself from her. It led her to speculate that he had started remembering his past, which would make him hate her just as he did before.

"This feels like the bomb I've always feared, and it's exploding now," she said despondently, stirring her drink with a long, red-and-white striped straw.

"And when you know a bomb is going to explode, you should find a way to protect yourself from getting hurt," replied Miranda, who was sitting across from Tiffany.

"How?"

"You already tried by getting pregnant... But I guess that wasn't enough to make him pay attention to you."

"It seems impossible... I don't even feel any remaining affection or love from him... Everything just seems to pass without leaving any impression..." Tiffany

    Maelie frowned, her heart pounding, as she pictured Tiffany’s face."She's pregnant!" Thomas asserted again. "Are you going to let Erland abandon her again?"Maelie remained silent but clenched her fists, remembering how Tiffany had asked Leo to kill her without caring that she was pregnant. This made her think there was no point in pitying her or considering her feelings."She needs Erland right now ... She has never been far from him, she is not as strong as you. So, wouldn’t it be better if you let Erland be with her again? After all, you are used to being without him ... You ...""No!" Maelie shouted before Thomas could finish speaking.Thomas fell silent, staring in astonishment at Maelie, who turned her face away."This time, I won't give in!" Maelie said firmly. "She was so cruel to plan to kill me, forcing me to escape to save myself and my brother, to save my baby ..." She continued, then looked back at Thomas."All this time, I have always given in ... I didn’t let Erland di

    "Erland, Erland!"Maelie immediately embraced Erland, cradling his head and looking at him through her tears. A few seconds later, Ava and Aiden joined in."Daddy, Daddy, wake up!""Daddy!"Thomas stood frozen, his eyes wide open, his body trembling, as if unable to believe that Erland had been hurt because of his actions, his selfishness."Mr. Gerald!"The voice of someone who had just arrived startled him. Thomas turned to see Tommy arriving with Amanda and a blonde man."How could you do this? You just wanted Erland to follow your wishes without considering his safety. You’re insane, absolutely insane!" Tommy shouted, venting all his frustration while pointing at Thomas's face. "What kind of father are you? Your treatment of Erland isn’t that of a father to his son but of a devil to a slave!"Thomas swallowed hard, glancing at Erland who was still unconscious and surrounded by his wife and children."If you dare bother them again, you’ll be dealing with me... I’m not afraid. I have

    Maelie looked down, unable to meet Erland's angry gaze. "Just because she’s carrying my child doesn’t mean I have to go back to her!" Erland insisted, pointing to Aiden and Ava, who were standing a little way off. "I want to focus on them... I'm staying with you not just because of you, but also for them. They've suffered enough because you prioritized Tiffany's feelings..." Maelie remained silent but started crying again. Erland sighed, put his hands on his hips, bit his lower lip, and looked at Maelie in frustration. "In the past, you hurt me because you didn’t want to hurt Tiffany... In the end, it only hurt yourself," he said. "And do you think it's fair to blame me when you started it?" Maelie asked. "I wanted to end it, but you stopped me!" Erland snapped, pointing at Maelie. "You... You always said I had to be fair, you threatened to leave me if I didn't keep Tiffany. You left me confused... I cared for her feelings, as you wanted, and now she's pregnant...

    Alaska ...In a minimalist, monochromatic house, Tiffany woke up and hurried to the bathroom, still only in her red underwear, while Leo remained in bed.Once in the bathroom, she immediately vomited and then rinsed her mouth.She panted, leaning her hands on the sink while staring at her reflection in the mirror."Oh my God, I think I’ve been overdoing it... This is my first trimester; I should be resting more," she whispered anxiously, then touched her still-flat stomach. "Or maybe I shouldn't have this baby? After all, Erland doesn't care about me. If I weren't pregnant, it would be much easier to leave him and give myself to Leo.""Tiffany, Tiffany!"The voice from the door distracted her, making her open it and see Leo looking at her worriedly."I heard you vomiting, are you sick?" Leo asked curiously, noticing Tiffany’s somewhat pale lips and flushed face."Um, I’m just a bit tired," Tiffany replied nervously."Are you sure?""Yeah..." Tiffany smiled, then approached Leo and imm

    Amanda approached Maelie, who was cooking, but she felt awkward about starting a conversation, especially since her sister had been silent with an angry look, and she knew that she had just fought with her husband. "Why are you following me here?" Maelie asked, apparently aware of Amanda's presence behind her. She was still busy stirring the spices in a medium-sized black pan and then started adding shrimp. "Of course, I would follow you ... I can't live without you," Amanda replied sadly. "Uncle must be very angry with you.""I don't care about him, he just wants to manage my life, he doesn't know what I need." "But your life would be easier without me. I've only been a source of suffering for you all this time." "Why do you say that?" Amanda asked, positioning herself to Maelie's left. "But it's true, isn't it?" Maelie asked, raising an eyebrow and glancing at Amanda for a moment while her hands were still focused on handling the shrimp. Amanda exhaled roughly. "I admit we h

    11:00 PM Swiss TimeAmanda was still at Erland's house, wearing Maelie's clothes since she didn't bring a change of clothes, while Tommy borrowed Erland's clothes because all their clothes were at the hotel where they were staying. The girl didn’t go to sleep immediately but sat daydreaming on the porch while watching the darkening sky. Occasionally, she slapped her arm or some parts of her body bitten by mosquitoes."I think this will make you more comfortable," said Tommy as he came out with a mosquito spray and then sprayed it around the porch area. "In this humid season, the mosquito population is uncontrollable, and their bites are very annoying!"Amanda gave a faint smile, amused by Tommy's complaints."I couldn't sleep in the room at all," Tommy said as he sat next to Amanda, glancing at her looking sweet in a maroon hoodie, almost matching him as he wore a maroon sweater. "By the way, our clothes are similar," he continued with a smile.Amanda smiled faintly and looked at hers

    Erland returned to the room after discussing with Amanda and Tommy. He closed the door again and saw Maelie lying on her side, hugging a pillow, but her body was slightly moving, and he could hear her crying. The man approached the bed and sat on the edge."Why are you crying?""It's nothing.""There must be a reason; you wouldn't cry without one," Erland said with a flat expression. "Please, don't hide anything from me, don't handle your problems alone... It makes me feel useless as a husband," he continued anxiously, trying to push away his annoyance, still feeling disappointed in his wife.Maelie remained silent, recalling what had happened that day."You don't want to tell me?" Erland asked again."Even if I tell you, it won't change anything," Maelie whispered."Maybe I can... If it's about keeping us together, I'll do it, because that's always been my goal," Erland responded firmly.Maelie sighed deeply."I've made too many mistakes, and all of them had serious consequences... a

    Early in the morning, Maelie was already awake to prepare breakfast before her children woke up. This was because their babysitter did not stay overnight but would come from morning until afternoon.The woman made pancakes, added her homemade blueberry jam, and also fried eggs, sausages, and nuggets. She arranged everything on plates, and then brought them to the dining table."Sis...""Hey, you're already up," she said as she saw Amanda entering the minimalist kitchen that was integrated with the dining area. "I only made a simple breakfast... But maybe later I'll make a special lunch, and of course your favorite," she continued with a smile, walking back towards the pantry.Amanda fell silent, watching her sister who was so busy preparing breakfast and even planning to cook her favorite meal later while she would be going to Alaska with Tommy. This made her anxious, feeling hesitant to ask for permission."Do you want hot chocolate?" asked Maelie as she took out several glasses from

    Several months passed...The situation improved, and Erland tried to forgive himself, rise from his despair, and was, of course, supported by Maelie, who always understood him, and he also received help from a psychiatrist.Despite this, he still often worried about Tiffany, wondering if she could be happy with the guilt of having aborted their child. And he still often saw Alaina from a distance at school.The man still felt something was missing, but he didn't want to have high expectations and chose to live his life as it was. Naturally, he focused on Maelie, the woman who was always there for him and accepted him despite the suffering he had caused her....Tonight, on their 6th wedding anniversary, the man took his wife to a hotel. He invited her to dine on the terrace balcony, with a view of the night lit by stars and the lights of vehicles and skyscrapers, and of course, the most beautiful sight was his wife, looking stunning in a long red dress with bare shoulders and her hair

    At 10:00 PM, Maelie was pacing back and forth on the porch, waiting for Erland who had not come home yet and was ignoring her calls and messages.Amanda felt bored and genuinely sad seeing her sister so worried. Luckily, Teddy and Jane had returned to Sacramento and did not witness this chaos."Why don't you just act normal... Doesn't he usually come home late too?" she asked with a displeased look."For me, this is unusual... I feel like he doesn't want to see me anymore," Maelie replied anxiously, glancing towards the gate and seeing the security guard hurriedly opening it as a black car entered the yard."Tommy..."Realizing it was Tommy's car, Maelie immediately approached him as soon as he stopped in the yard. Amanda also walked over as the man got out of the car."Mae," greeted Tommy."Do you know where Erland is? Did you manage to investigate him today?" Maelie asked eagerly.Tommy nodded with a worried look. "Yes... I was with him all day, but I didn't learn much about what's

    Thomas entered Erland's room and saw him sleeping on the sofa, with a lot of files that needed to be reviewed on the table."How could he neglect his work?" he grumbled as he approached his son, intending to wake him up, but his attention was diverted to Tommy, who had just arrived."Mr. Gerald," called Tommy.Thomas turned to Tommy, noticing he was carrying a file."Is there a problem?""No, there's good news," Tommy replied with a smile, handing the file to Thomas. "Carlos' diamond company is willing to collaborate with our company, all the terms are in there," he continued, glancing at the file.Thomas looked at the file with a frown, realizing there was a lot to read, then he remembered Erland and closed the file again."Since yesterday, Erland hasn't done any of his tasks," he said, turning back to Tommy. "And now he's fallen asleep. This is very unusual for him, do you know what he does at home that makes him still need rest at the office?""Um..." Tommy bit his lower lip, glanc

    With unsteady steps, Erland climbed the stairs to the upper floor, arriving at the room and finding Maelie standing by the window. She turned towards him as soon as she sensed his presence."Erland..."Maelie immediately greeted Erland with a worried look."You're drunk again!" She grabbed his arm, looking at his dull face, the smell of alcohol from his breath making her wince. "Oh my God ... You stink!"Erland stared deeply at Maelie and then smiled."You are so beautiful!" he exclaimed lazily.Ignoring Erland's compliment, Maelie led him to the bed, laying his body on the edge. She took off his shoes and placed them near the foot of the bed."Why are you always like this? What exactly are you dealing with?" she wondered as she unbuttoned his shirt, which was damp and reeked of alcohol, imagining him spilling drinks on himself.Before she finished unbuttoning his shirt, he suddenly pulled her down onto his chest, then rolled over, making her lie beneath him."Erland...." She gasped i

    Erland stopped his car in the driveway of the Billy Johnson family mansion, got out quickly, and saw Alaina just getting out of the car with Tiffany. He smiled at the little girl who was pouting at him from a distance, then took a package from his car."That's not my dad," Alaina muttered with a serious look."Why is he here? I thought everything was over," Tiffany mused, watching Erland walk toward them with a rather large pink paper bag."Hey..." Erland sighed as he reached them. "I... I brought this for her." He lifted the paper bag slightly."This feels strange after what you did," Tiffany said flatly.Erland smiled thinly."This isn't strange... She used to be my daughter, so I still love her and want to see her," he replied casually, then squatted in front of Alaina with a smile. "Sweetie... Daddy missed you so much."Alaina remained silent with a pout, clearly displeased with Erland's presence."Daddy bought LEGO for you; we can build a Barbie house together," Erland said, hand

    Leo stood near the gate of an elite school, watching Alaina as she exited the building with her friends, looking around as if searching for someone. He entered the grounds and approached his daughter with a smile."You ..." Alaina squinted at Leo, slowing her small steps."Sweetheart ..." Leo crouched in front of Alaina and briefly touched her cheek. "I've come to pick you up.""Tony is supposed to pick me up," Alaina said, frowning. "Grandma said I'm not allowed to go home with strangers, so I have to wait for Tony here!" she continued, then ran toward a waiting bench near the security post.Leo exhaled sharply, stood back up, and looked at Alaina, who looked so cute and pretty with her long brown hair, wearing pink pants, a white shirt, and a red bag.'I can't waste this opportunity,' he thought, glancing around until his gaze fell on a luxury car stopping in front of the gate."Damn, she's here!" he said, clenching his fists, seeing Tiffany hurriedly exit the car and approach Alain

    The next day...Maelie had just woken up after crying herself to sleep the night before. She glanced around the quiet room and saw Erland standing in front of the dresser, getting dressed. She quickly got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth.When she returned to the bedroom, she saw her husband sitting on the sofa, putting on his shoes. She felt a desire to approach him but felt awkward after their fight last night.Her attention shifted to his injured hand, which was unbandaged and looked terrible. She walked to the small cot, opened the drawer, took out the first aid kit, and approached him.She sat beside him, took his right hand, and placed it on her lap, examining the wound."A wound like this needs to be treated and covered with a bandage," she said."You always know how to heal wounds, but this time, I'm not so sure," Erland replied flatly.Maelie swallowed hard, sensing the deeper meaning behind Erland's words, perhaps referring to the caus

    "Why isn't your husband home yet at this hour?" Teddy asked as he saw Maelie and Jane exit the twins' room. "It's already late," he added, glancing at his watch, which showed 10 PM.Maelie swallowed hard and walked to the sofa."Maybe he's busy," she said."But I think it's unusual for a boss to work this late," replied Teddy, frowning and glancing at Jane, who immediately sat next to him."You don't know how busy he is... you don't understand his job, so you should stay quiet," Jane said with a displeased look.Teddy exhaled harshly. "I just don't want him to treat Maelie the way he treated his first wife. I don't want him to get bored, start leaving her often, and then fall in love with a new girl...""Teddy!" Jane interrupted in a soft voice. "You shouldn't say that. You'll ruin your niece's mood!"Teddy remained silent, turning his face away as Maelie quickly stood up."I need to go to my room now," Maelie said.Jane nodded, letting Maelie walk towards the stairs. She then turned

  • The Billionaire and His Hidden Wife    Telling Erland

    Erland stopped his car at the side of the road, near a bridge where Tiffany was standing with Benjamin. He quickly got out and approached his ex-wife with a serious look."What are you doing here?" he asked."Waiting for you," Tiffany replied flatly.Erland frowned, feeling odd about Tiffany’s attitude. After staying away from him for so long, she suddenly wanted to meet again."He won’t hurt you, no gun or anything dangerous," Benjamin said flatly.Erland stayed silent."We need to talk. I'll be waiting in the car," Tiffany said, then walked towards her car.Curious, Erland followed Tiffany and got into her car, sitting beside her uncomfortably. He looked around, making sure there were no paparazzi or anyone who could take their pictures, which could cause trouble or gossip if their meeting became public."How are you?" Tiffany asked, looking at Erland, who looked dashing in his gray suit but with a beard that was too thick and hair that was too long, unlike his usual self. "You look
