"That's the amount of money Dudley Baker asked me in exchange for you, Elisha. That's probably how much your uncle owed him too. But to be more precise, I also still do not know."

Elisha's mouth dropped open. "Two hundred?"

"Yes. It's two hundred million bucks, Elisha," Alexander added calmly. "So, now we've come to the point of the conversation."

Alexander looked at Elisha intently. "Elisha Foster," he said. "What offer can you make in exchange?"

"Think carefully," he said again, making Elisha, who had already opened her mouth, shut it again. "Don't forget, there is a balance that you need to adjust, and the value is at 200 million bucks."

Alexander leaned his back on the sofa. He looked so relaxed, so different from how Elisha felt.

"Two hundred million bucks." She whispered. "That kind of huge money. Oh, my God. What on earth has Uncle Marlon done?"

Alexander was silent. He felt no need to chime in on something so obvious like this.

    "Do you intend to give me a blow?" Alex wanted to laugh out loud after hearing what Elisha said. "It was a joke, didn't it?" asked Elisha again. "You sound like a fraud." "I'm more suspicious of this deal being deceitful when you say such attractive things." Now, Alex was utterly laughing. "Come here, Elisha." "Why? What else you wanna do?" "As I said, I don't like repeating what I said. Don't make me say it twice." Elisha approached with hesitation, but Alex immediately pulled her onto his lap. She bites her lips in anxiousness to read Alex’s blank expression while Alex glances at her. Meanwhile, Alex didn’t know why she was making such a fuss. "Do you want me to lend you the money?" "Yes, I do. If my uncle or Dudley catches me, then it will be a bad end for me. Perhaps I will be sold to the whorehouse. If so, I prefer to die." Alex glared at Elisha. He still couldn't understand it at all. At first, he thought it was a simple thing. Elisha could help him to get somethi

    "If so, then what advantages can I get?" Alex had a very sarcastic tone. "Because it can be sure that your husband will be the one who will hold power. So, to guarantee that I'll get my 200 million bucks back, I want us to get married. I think that's not a bad deal at all." "But— Alex, we don't have to– I mean, I swear I will—" "I need collateral, Elisha. Don't forget; it's huge money that I will spend on you. Besides, I was the one who encountered the most risk of losing to get married for that reason. Or perhaps, do you have a lover?" Elisha shook her head for sure. "Then, there's no problem. The end." What Alex said was true, so Elisha could not deny it. "But, what about you?" "Me? What's wrong with me?" "As you said, it's too much of a loss for you. After all, I had a problem and troubled you." Alex's face beamed. He couldn't help but smile. "You are an interesting woman, Elisha, since you are already worrying about me. I can't remember when the last time someone was w

    Elisha saw the agreement papers. It was straightforward, written in elegant print, and below was a space for the signatures of Alex and Elisha.‌ ‌ ‌‌ There is no problem with the agreement writing except for the content. "Are you kidding me?" "Do I look like I'm kidding?" "But, this—" Elisha had concern about finding the right words. "The contents of this agreement are so unreasonable!" Alex held out his glass calmly, and Cassian poured dark red wine for him. Alex then took a sip of wine. "I’m curious. Which part do you find unreasonable?" "Everything!" yelled Elisha. "All of this agreement makes no sense to me. Take a look at this!" Elisha handed back the papers to Alex. "Since at the first point, I can't understand. Why can't I file for divorce?" Alex didn't answer. He snapped his fingers, and Cassian swiftly came up with an answer. "That's because you might be filing for divorce before you were of legal age to inherit the Foster family heritage, Miss Foster. If that happe

    "What else? Elisha, I really can't understand what the hell you are thinking. Now, what do you want?" "That's—" Elisha looked hesitant to speak. "I need your trust, Alex." "What?" "If you can't trust me, it would be difficult for me. I'd rather—" Elisha didn't continue, and Alex didn't respond either. Both were silent, but Cassian could feel the tension between them. "Oke, fine," Alex replied. "So tell me, what condition do you ask?" "I want us to be equal. As you said earlier, we are currently on the same ship. Then, what happens if we are even one-sided?" Alex took a deep breath. "There's no need to worry about that, Elisha. Do you think I'm a man who would misbehave with his wife?" Elisha's face beamed instantly. "No. It's not really what I think of—" "We will get married soon," Alex said again. “Then your honor will also be my honor. I will take care of you as I take care of myself, Elisha." Hearing Alex's words made Elisha silent for a moment. Her face immediately tu

    Since earlier, Marlon Foster couldn't hide his nervousness.This morning Dudley Baker had purposely booked a particular room at the Five Seasons hotel as his place to enjoy breakfast. He gathered a chef and a few waitpersons in this room to serve various dishes according to his wishes.Sitting in front of a dining table full of delicious dishes doesn't mean Marlon can enjoy his breakfast. Especially since the main course for today was Dudley Baker's angry face.“I can’t forgive you for humiliating me! This is unacceptable!”Dudley's emotions went up and down fast. Marlon couldn't do anything about that. He fell between wanting to be mad and also fear of getting angry."Why can't you handle that bitch? Now, look what trouble she caused me!"Marlon dared not say anything. He could only grip the fork tightly and wish for a miracle to save him from this stressful situation.Oh, God. If only he could, Marlon would have tried to flee earlier."This is a big deal, Foster! I will compensate y

    "So, now you say you bought her? Even though not a minute ago you said that she is the woman you take care of very much." “Ha, this guy—” Dudley looked very contemn. "You indeed a bag of joke!" "And you also mentioned the price I have to pay in exchange for her. So, as I said before, stop talking about useless things and get straight to the point." Dudley was stunned by Alex's impudence. "You’re so arrogant, but—" He looked straight at Alex. "You're right! Nothing is more important than money. Especially about the money, as much as 200 million bucks." Dudley laughed, followed by his men. At the same time, Marlon could only wince slightly, which made him look like someone with a toothache. "Soo—" Dudley couldn't hide the greed on his face. "Would I be able to take my 200 million bucks, Sir Winter? It's about the time." "Aha." Alex took a grape from Dudley's plate and casually threw it into his mouth. "About that, there seems to be a problem." "Problem?" asked Dudley in an angry

    "That was the slightest thing I've ever seen, Miss Hawk. That was awesome!" They were returning to Alex's room, and Cassian Blake couldn't stop praising Nora Hawk's agility with Dudley Baker twenty minutes ago. "How can you be so calm when dealing with a loathsome man like him? Even I almost lost my patience listening to all his harsh words." "Calmness is part of professionalism, Mr. Blake." Nora Hawk answered dignified. "So I would appreciate it if you could be calmer. Do not forget that at this time, we are on duty to help Mr. Winter." Cassian Blake was stunned as he looked like a child his mother had just scolded. He then cleared his throat awkwardly. Alex snorted with laughter. He felt good, mainly since his business with Dudley Baker had settled down without a hitch. "Everything is going your way, Sir," said Cassian. "That old fart must have had no idea what plan you had prepared. It's perfect!" Alex just smiled while Nora Hawk rolled her eyes. Feeling that no one was inte

    "I never said you couldn't see it, Miss Hawk." "Pardon, Sir?" "That agreement document, just look at it if you want to." For a moment, Nora still hesitated. But then she said, "Since you've given permission, I'll look over these documents in a moment, Sir." No one of them said a thing, so for a moment, there was only silence. Until then, Nora let out a choking sound. "Sir, this—" "Yes? Is there anything wrong?" "This agreement— Apologize, Sir, but I feel that this agreement is not right." "What do you mean, Miss Hawk? Which part do you think is not right?" "It's everything!" Nora answered in a louder voice than she intended. She then hastily added, "Sir." Alex raised an eyebrow, waiting for Nora to continue. "The contents of this agreement, I read it short in time, but all the points of the agreement only benefit one party. So, that's why I feel that this agreement is unfair, Sir." "Do you think so?" "Yes, Sir. For example, if the second party is declared unable to fulfil

    'Alex gave me twenty million dollars to stop trying to contact you. He also put pressure on Dudley Baker with the help of a woman named Nora Hawk, if I remember correctly.' Elisha rubbed her sweaty forehead. She had never expected to hear such a thing. Alex had lied to her. He lied to her from the start. "If so, is it possible that everything he's said all this time is also a lie?" she whispered. "He said he loves me and that he needs me... Those are all lies?" Elisha's head throbbed painfully. Being in a relationship with someone who couldn't tell the difference between lying and not wasn't something Elisha could hope for. "Madame, are you all right?" "What?" "Since you were in prison earlier, you've been more silent." Elisha smiled faintly. "It's okay, sir Evan. I'm fine. But can you take me to my dad's? I want to see him." "Of course, madam. But don't forget that later you have lunch plans with Sir Alex in his office." "Ah, about that, I'll meet Alex with my family's dri

    After the storm, there will be a rainbow, which suits the current situation.Elisha woke to the morning sunshine. She stretched a little, enjoying the sensual feel of the sheet against her naked body. And she saw him.Alex was sitting in a chair near the window, wearing only his shorts, reading something on his cell phone. She came to him.Elisha climbed into his lap and curled herself against him as he wrapped her in his embrace."Good morning," she whispered.Alex put down his phone and looked at his wife intently.He felt the soft heat of her breast against his chest, the gentle touch of her hand on his cheek. He closed his eyes when her lips were soft against his as she kissed him."It's killing me," he said gruffly. "I feel like my sanity depends on you, Wife.""What?""My desire for you is a burden on my soul. I'm desperate for you. I want to have you completely. Your mind, your heart, and also your body. I want to have all of that, Wife.""Alex, I—""Would you believe me if I s

    It's been a month since Aeron's funeral.Today, Elliott decided to visit the graves of his wife and two sons.First of all, he visited Natasha's grave. There, Elliott spent half an hour recounting what had happened.He tells about Aramis, who is now in jail. Elliott also expressed his great disappointment towards Aramis, whom, although he was not his biological son, he had raised well."I feel guilty towards Aeron because all this time I hardly ever paid attention to him, Natasha," he said in a very low voice. "All this time, I thought of him as a useless child without me first trying to teach him well."Of course, Elliott's regrets didn't stop there. There was another, even greater regret he felt."Adrianus." He whispered. "Even though our son was innocent, I kicked him out cruelly. I never even wanted to meet him and his family, not until he and his wife died in an accident. Then, Natasha, do you know what more terrible things I have done?"Elliott looked at his wife's tombstone. Th

    "Sir, this— Is what you said just now true?"Harris Hilton's voice sounded so surprised. Not long after, he hurriedly apologized for speaking in such an exclamatory tone."That's right, Harris. Please keep this secret to yourself. My children can't find out just yet. I'm telling you this so that I don't explode.""But why? How could you keep something this big a secret even for so many years?""I had to, Harris! Do you think I would do it if I still had a choice? The Winter family's reputation is at stake, and there is no way out.""But, this— Excuse me, sir. I didn't think that—""My younger sister, Maura, attends a boarding school in Switzerland. But one day, she suddenly came home pregnant. We are, of course, shocked by a situation like that. Moreover, Maura didn't want to tell who the man who had made her pregnant was. She carried the secret even to the end. She died in childbirth."There was silence for a few moments until Harry finally found his voice again. "So how— Ah, apologi

    Aeron's funeral took place on a beautiful day.The sky looks so blue, decorated with white clouds. The sun was shining brightly, and the air was refreshing. Truly a perfect day to spend on vacation.Alex frowned.This pleasant weather seemed to mock those who were grieving.Many people attended Aeron's funeral, including Diora, his ex-wife. Alex could see Diora standing a bit away and alone. She looked like she didn't want people to recognize her.Neither Pamela nor David accompanied Diora because Alex knew that his two cousins ​​were with Elisha, his wife.Alex snorted in amusement while one corner of his lips pulled upwards.Now, he felt ridiculous about himself.

    Three days passed in the blink of an eye.Alex was sitting looking at Elisha, who was making up. All the movements that his wife did seemed to be inseparable from his pair of deep blue eyes.He watches her when Elisha looks up when wearing eyeliner or when her lips are slightly parted when Elisha applies lipstick, and he doesn't feel bored at all.This was crazy.Ever since Alex realized his feelings for Elisha, he didn't want to leave his wife. Even to go to work, he felt so lazy, whereas before, Alex was a workaholic. He didn't seem like he was, but surprisingly Alex didn't mind.This was weird."Is there something weird?""Pardon?""Alex, since earlier, you have been looking at me incessantly. So, what's wrong? Is there anything strange about my appearance?"He smiled. "I think you have caught me, Wife," he said.Alex approached Elisha, hugged her from behind, then rested his chin on Elisha's shoulder. He looked at himself and Elisha in the mirror and was amazed by how perfect th

    "Of course, we'll come, Aeron. Don't worry. Anyway, please prepare lots of delicious food for us."Aeron heard a soft groan which was followed by a chuckle. He smiled, too, because he could imagine that on the other side of the call, Adrianus was being beaten by Willona."All right," he said with laughter. "See you tonight.""See you tonight. Oh, and Aeron.""Yes?""I'm glad you invited us. Thank you."Aeron was silent for a few moments. He, too, felt so moved.It had been quite some time since Adrianus had been chased out of the house by Elliot, and finally, tonight, they would gather again for dinner together."I feel happy too, Brother," he said then. "See you tonight."Their phone call finally ended. Aeron then informed Aramis that Adrianus and his family were coming. After that, he waited happily but impatiently for dinner.But in fact, everything ended not according to Aeron's expectations.That night Adrianus had an accident that killed him and his wife, Willona.

On top of that, Pamela was clearly under a lot of mental stress.Aeron sat hunched over and covered his face with both hands.He was relieved already that David had regained consciousness after undergoing various treatments for the concussion he had. But now, he again felt worried about Pamela's condition."Oh, Lord. Why is everything getting messed up like this?"Aeron groaned and wailed.

    In the quiet bedroom, only the sound of two people breathing could be heard.Elisha was breathing, calming down to an even pace, and Alex lowered his head, turned her body sideways, then wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her into his arms.He embraced her for a while, then covered her lips, eyes, and forehead with kisses."Alex, I think we should get up now.""Mmhh."Elisha laughed. Alex's kisses amused her."Stop it. Ha-ha. Alex, please. That’s ticklish.""Then, how about I make it not ticklish?""No! Alex, it's already morning.""We can still make it. Wife, there is plenty of time."Alex whispered, then bit her neck and left another hickey there.His hand stealthily slipped from her back to her waist, but Elisha twisted her body and naturally pushed his hand away.When the smooth sensation of her skin disappeared from his palm, he reached out stubbornly and grabbed her buttocks.This time, Elisha pushed away from his chest."Wife?""We can’t, Alex.
