When Harold ended the call, he realized he hadn’t closed the door tightly, so he walked to the door to close it. But then, he could smell a familiar aroma. It was Emily’s lotion scent. His heartbeat was so fast. How much did Emily hear? 

So, he searched for his wife only to find her in their bedroom. He hugged her waist from behind and whispered, “Did you come to my working room just now, baby?”

Emily gulped because her answer might determine their relationship later. Would she be honest with him? Should she lie so she didn’t need to have a conflict with him? No, it wouldn’t work.

After taking a deep breath, she turned her body to face him. “I did.”

“I see.” He walked to the door to lock it. “So, what

    She stared at him and knew she would disappoint him again. If only she didn’t hear about his conversation, she would do it as she already planned it. However, she wasn’t sure now.So she bit her lower lip and shook her head. “I’m sorry …. I …”He closed his eyes, but her rejection was something he expected. Then he opened his eyes and kissed her forehead. “Have you thought of making love to me tonight?”She gulped and nodded. “Yes, I … I planned it, but then, hearing about you … your involvement with the mafia … I’m scared ….”“Ah …” He exhaled and shook his head. “Bad timing, right?” He was disappointed because it was so close for hi

    “Our drug storage is on fire!” Dmitri Savvin, Harold’s man in the drug department, called him.It rushed Harold to leave his suburb house and headed to the storage location. The storage was in another suburb. The location was even more secluded, so it took the fire truck an hour to reach there. By the time they arrived, the fire had already burned half of the building.It needed three hours to extinguish the fire. When the fire could be put out, the storage was already burned completely until it left smoke and ruin. Before Harold could assign someone to clean the area and save the rest of the goods, he got a phone call.Since it was from an unknown number, he ignored it. However, the caller sent him a text. ‘Pick my call. You will find an interesting thing.’ It made him wond

    After all The Silent Syndicate’s leaders left the headquarters, Harold went to his penthouse. Viona was in his bed, waiting for him, and as they agreed, the routine was she would be in nude. He stripped his clothes quickly and joined her in bed.This time, he took a black blindfold from a drawer of a nightstand next to the bed and put it around Viona’s eyes. Then he handcuffed her arms before finally touching her body and had sex with her. He imagined Viona as Emily, but when he kissed her lips, it was different since Emily usually returned his kiss with a little shyness while Viona did it wildly.However, he closed his eyes and kept imagining her as Emily, and he smiled after reaching his satisfaction. Though when he opened his eyes, his smile faded because it wasn’t Emily who was with him now.

    However, the woman used a mask, so Jacob couldn’t see her face clearly. “Why do you wear the mask?”She whispered, “I have the flu, so I can’t speak loudly. I don’t want to spread the virus.”“I don’t mind.” He caressed her hair. “It’s been almost two years since the last time I saw you. I miss you, honey.”Then, Viona hugged Jacob and prepared her ring by twisting it. Soon, a soft needle came out. It was a special needle with nerve potion to create a hallucination in people’s minds. She thrust the needle into Jacob’s back and waited a few seconds to see any reactions from him.“Baby, where were you? Did you live with Montgomery all this time?”

    Warning: violent scene. Please proceed with precautions for readers sensitive to violent scenes.He lowered the gun because what Viona said made no sense. Arturo was Jacob’s mentor, more like a father to him. He trusted him so much until appointed him to be the next leader instead of choosing Al, his son.Jacob’s eyes blazed fire now because Viona’s mistakes were too much. She wanted to trick him into believing her as Emily and trying to seduce him. Now it was even getting worse. Viona tried to set him against Arturo.So, he walked to approach her. He stared at her for a few seconds, then he aimed his gun right at her temple.“No! No!” She shook like a leaf. “Don’t do this!” Then she closed her eyes and wh

    After Viona left his apartment, Jacob sat on the couch in the living room. His mind was messed up because knowing Arturo was the one behind Viona’s blatant actions.The more he thought about it, the more he was sure that Viona deliberately tried to make Emily misunderstand his relationship with the assistant two years ago.He was blind as he couldn’t see it clearly back then. When he saw Viona in his office with Emily, pretending to have an affair with someone else, he should fire her immediately. Yet, he ignored it, and it brought a catastrophe not only in his relationship with Emily but also with Arturo.Scratching and messing up his hair with a hand, he sank his head to the couch. No matter how much he tried to think about what happened, he couldn’t punish Arturo. Despite getting imm

    Six months later, Jacob received unexpected news from a hospital. His mother had already passed away because of cancer. Since he blocked his mother’s phone number, he didn’t know that Tanya was ill.He went to the hospital to receive her corpse. When the administration staff knew Jacob came to bring his mother’s body, a nurse approached him.“Mr. Jacob Jefferson?” the nurse asked.“Yes, I’m Jacob Jefferson, and you are?”“I’m Cindy Randall. I’m a nurse who accompanied and checked on your mother.”Jacob nodded. “I see. Thank you for helping my mother before she passed away,” he said calmly.

    When Emily heard about Tanya’s funeral, she wanted to come. No matter what happened between Jacob and her, she was engaged to Jacob back then. Tanya also treated her well, so she felt it was necessary to come to the funeral to give her last respect.However, Harold was against her. “Baby, you will invite problems by coming to the funeral.”“What do you mean?” she asked.Even after marrying him, his wife was still so naive. He let out a sigh. “When Jefferson sees you, do you think he will let you go?”Tilting her head to the side, she creased her forehead because she disagreed with Harold. “He doesn’t have any other choice. I’m a married woman.”

    Jacob and Emily talked about the twins, about the past, and also their current situation. Then Emily said, “I’m sorry for not letting you know when I was pregnant with Jason and Mia.”“I forgive you,” he held her hand and squeezed it, “but can you consider divorcing Harold? I want to marry you and be our children’s father and your husband.” He brought her hand to his lips and kissed it. “We can’t repeat the past, but if you give me another chance, I promise I’ll protect and care for you and the children.”She let out a long sigh while biting her lower lip. After knowing Harold’s infidelity, it was getting harder and harder to stay in her marriage.But then she shook her head. “The reason I ran away three years ago was because I knew

    From the hospital, Emily was about to go home, but she walked to a cafe near the hospital. After ordering and paying for a cup of latte, she took a deep breath and called Jacob. He took the call after the second ring. “Emily? How’s Jason? Is he okay?”It warmed her heart to know Jacob cared so much for their son. “Jason is well. I just visited him. I … I wonder if we can talk.”“Oh? Sure. What do you want to talk about?” “Well, about the offer you gave.” She licked her dry lips. “I’m at a cafe near the hospital. Can you come here so we can talk?”“Okay. I’m on my way.”After thirty minutes, Jacob arrived at the cafe. Since a few visitors were there, he could spot Emily right away. She waved at him, and he walked toward her table. After seeing her empty cup, he said, “Do you mind if we go elsewhere?”Emily shook her head. “No, it’s okay if you want to go somewhere.”So, Jacob escorted her to the parking lot, his hand on the small of her back. Since he drove the car alone, he opened t

He was already awake and promised her to give a jewelry set because he enjoyed the surprise.When Viona met Emily, she smiled and pretended to be shocked to see her. “Oh!” She covered her mouth with a hand. “You’re here.”Emily recognized Viona’s voice as the voice on the phone. However, she didn’t want to create a scene in Harold’s office.Viona sneered and then bent her head to whisper, “Mr. Montgomery is such a generous man. He promised to give me a jewelry set.” Then she licked her lips. “Maybe he loves my surprise.”Clenching her hand, Emily took a deep breath. She smiled at the assistant. “You can have your lunch now.”

    After thinking about what happened, Viona knew Harold was someone she could count on. Considering her nephew told her how happy he was working at the Silent Syndicate, she knew if she could have Harold at her side, she wouldn’t need to work again.She hated Jacob because he fired her. She also hated Emily because she got the men he wanted. First, Jacob, and now, Harold. However, with her joining the Silent Syndicate, not only as Harold’s secret agent to spy on Jacob and the Gold Cleaner, being in Lee’s team would help her approach Harold.When she went to the penthouse, she heard a few maids chatting about how Harold treated Emily and the twins well.

    After the meeting, Lee approached Harold. He shook Harold’s hand first and congratulated him. “Can I talk to you?”“Go ahead.”He glanced around to see some leaders remained there. “Well, can we talk privately?”Harold nodded and escorted Lee to the next room. It was a smaller room. He sat on a brown couch and gestured his hand to ask Lee to sit too.Then he asked, “So, what do you want to discuss with me?”“We currently want to recruit a new member. Since we need a diversion, the member is outstanding at providing it.”“Oh? So?” Harold raised his eyebrow because recruiting a team member wasn&rsquo

    At night, Harold attended a meeting of the Silent Syndicate in the headquarters. The agenda was to determine their next leader. It was a regular thing they would discuss every decade. Considering they could choose a new leader after a decade, it would ensure that the syndicate wouldn’t have a bad leader for too long.Five-year leadership changes were suggested because a decade seemed too much. However, most leaders opposed the feedback in the last meeting. It was impractical to change a new leader every five years. Besides, creating a leadership structure required a long time. Changing it every five years would be unproductive.Harold willingly stepped aside for a new leader to take his place. It wasn’t a big deal for him to be the highest leader or not because he was already busy in his business too. Yet, since most of the Silent Syndic

When they were there, Jacob was cleaning Jason’s wound.“Oh, no! What happened?” The mother put a hand on her chest because it was the first time she saw her son was badly injured.“Jason tripped and fell to the ground, face first.
