"Now explain to me, Evan. How could they let her in?" "Sorry, sir. The information from the gate's guards was Miss Sasha told them there were important documents from the office she brought that you must receive as soon as possible. She also showed an employee name tag as proof that she did indeed work at a MAC office." "But they must still have confirmed before letting her in! Evan, what the hell exactly have you taught your men? Why are they this stupid?" Evan Page lowered his head, and he didn't dare say anything else. At this moment, Alex's anger was crystal clear before his eyes. "I won't just let this go! This incident proves that you are careless! What if the one who comes is someone with bad intentions? How can I entrust the safety of this mansion when your guard is so lax? How can I be sure that my wife will be safe inside this mansion if this is how you work?" Evan could only stand silent and accept all of Alex's anger. As the man in charge of the guards at the mansion
Elliott was in his office when Elisha came. "Look, who's here?" he cried happily. "My Dear Elisha!" He even stood up and opened his arms wide to welcome Elisha. "I'm sorry that I came so early, Grandpa," Elisha said with a happy smile on her face. She didn't mind when Elliott hugged and patted her on the back. "I hope I didn't bother Grandpa too much," she said again. "What did you say? Of course not. Come here, have a seat first. Have you had breakfast? I will order the servants to prepare breakfast for you. Wait a minute. Harris!" "No, Grandpa. No. You don't need to. I already have breakfast," said Elisha in a rush. Elliot laughed. "Alright, alright. It's fine if you had breakfast. Tell me, what made me lucky to have you visit so early in the morning?" "Ah, yes. About that—" Elisha picked up the paper bag she had brought earlier. "I want to give this to grandpa." "What's this?" "Grandpa can open it if you want. Please." Even though Elliott's forehead was wrinkled, a s
After a few minutes, Elisha was still expressing uneasiness. She still doubted, but Elliott quickly spoke again. "After all, all the daughters-in-law of this family had inherited one of Natasha's jewels. Bellona got the ring, and Diora chose the bracelet. So, it doesn't matter that now you have the brooch." Elisha was still thinking for a while. But in the end, she nodded, though she still looked doubtful. "Thank you for the gift, Grandpa," she said, completely sincere. "From now on, this brooch will be my treasure." Elliott laughed. He was pleased to see Elisha's earnestness. "Open the box first, Elisha. So you can check the brooch. After that, we'll see if you like your gift or not." Once again, Elisha nodded. She opened the small box to examine the brooch inside, though there was no need. There was, indeed, no problem with the brooch. The brooch was lovely. It was butterfly shapely and had two new sets of emeralds for the eyes. Emeralds and American zircons studded both w
"Here," said Natasha. "Come in there!"There was no change in Elisha's expression, but she couldn't shake off her suspicious feeling toward Natasha."Is this Alex's office?"Elisha asked without feeling the need to hide her suspicions.Natasha clucked. She looks annoyed because of it."You can see it for yourself," she said. "Check it by yourself if you still don't believe."Elisha sighed.This room was Alex's office. She could make sure it, but that only made her feel annoyed. Elisha didn't like it when she learned that Natasha could go in and out of Alex's office freely.'Shouldn't there still be boundaries between superiors and subordinates?'Elisha thought angrily.'But now, Natasha can go straight into Alex's office. What the hell? Don't tell me he even gave her another private access.'"What are you doing? Why are you just standing there?""Nothing," Elisha said while shrugging. "Besides, it's up to me to do what I want, right? After all, this is my husband's office."Natasha g
The room that Natasha had shown Elisha earlier was where Alex used to have sexual activities with Natasha.Alex admits that he is not someone without sin. After all, he was an ordinary man who needed to fulfill his desires.In that private room, he would usually order Natasha to touch herself.There are various sex tools in the room, including vibrators, handcuffs, cover mouth collars, and many more that Natasha can use.Alex is not a BDSM adherent, but that's the only way he can still complete his desires without feeling excessive touch.After making sure Natasha was ready for him, he would immediately cuff her hands. That way, Natasha couldn't carelessly touch him.Alex would also cover Natasha's eyes and mouth so she couldn't kiss him.Even when making love, Alex often wears gloves.Until now, he still felt nauseous whenever someone carelessly touched him. So, Alex always fulfills his desires without touching or kissing.But strangely, Alex didn't feel that nausea towards Elisha.
Elisha was drinking tea slowly.'Why was I behaving like that?'Alex was a quick-witted person. So, Elisha was sure that he would notice her strange behavior."Oh, my God. What was I thinking?"She took a deep breath and complained to herself."It shouldn't be any of my business what Alex does with his women, right? But why was I pissed off?"Now Elisha felt herself being so ridiculous. She took a long sigh and started to think again."What exactly am I doing? Why would I be willing to do all this?”Elisha knew that there had been an agreement between her and Alex before, but now she felt that it was all too much."Especially when we went on our honeymoon," she whispered with blushing cheeks. "Why would I let Alex touch me like that?"Recall the honeymoon; it made Elisha feel her whole body warm up. She seemed to be still able to remember well all the touches that Alex did to her."No. No. That's too embarrassing. That doesn't seem right, Elisha."Elisha muttered while shaking her hea
"Are you alright?" Alex asked in a caring tone. He kept his focus on driving, occasionally glancing at Elisha. Elliott invited them to have lunch together at the Winter estate this Sunday. So, now Elisha and Alex are on their way to come there. "Why do you ask such a thing?" "Elisha, there's never a pleasant circumstance every time we visit my family's residence. So, well, I just wanted to know how you feel." There was no change in Alex's attitude, apart from the veins in his arms that bulged as he gripped the steering wheel tighter and his slightly tense jaw. The rest of him still looked calm. Elisha took a deep breath. She knew what Alex was getting at. Alex's uncle and aunt would never make it to the list of most favorite people of the year. That was an indisputable fact. "I am alright." Elisha answered with a smile, making Alex look at her in disbelief. "I don't care for them anymore, Alex. So, don't worry. Then, for all the unpleasant circumstances we've ever experienc
His call had just ended, and Cassian intended to get his phone back in his pocket. It was then that he saw his dirty hands."Geez. Why did I only realize this now? Haa, damn it. I have to get dirty like this."Grumbling, he looked around, then remembered that there was no water to wash his hands around.Cassian had to take out his expensive-looking handkerchief to clean the greasy black stains on his hands."Why do I even have to work on my day off?" he grumbled, slightly irritated, knowing he wouldn't be able to clean the stains off his handkerchief."After this, I'm going to ask for a raise, and I will make sure sir Alex can't refuse my request."Cassian then looked at his dirty handkerchief in despair but then decided to pocket it again."But I wondered, how did Sir Alex know what was contained in this land? Couldn't he have just guessed, right? I don't believe it was just sheer luck."Cassian sighed as he brushed his hair with one clean hand.He stared in disbelief at the drilling
'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. It didn't feel long ago that he had been irritated that David was clinging to Elisha like a kitten following its mother everywhere.But now, Alex was grateful.He was grateful for having Elisha because it was thanks to his wife that his two cousins could be stronger through this terrible storm."Wife, I miss you.""I'm he
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. And the dinne
Aeron was very shocked when he found out how Pamela was.His daughter needed treatment to remove all the effects of the drug in her body. 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. He felt that the happiness that he had, now shattered in the blink of an eye.Hadn't his life been nearly perfect all this time?Even though he is not the main heir in his family, Aeron has more than enough wealth. He has a magnificent house and all kinds of other luxuries.Aeron also has a beautiful wife and two children, a daughter, and a son.Her life is perfect. He has everything. But now, everything seemed to be turned upside down."Why am I going through all
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. Don't you have to go to w
