Fritz squeezed his watch until it shattered the screen. His teeth chattered. His eyebrows knitted together. He really couldn't help himself. His eyes, which used to stare at things coldly, were now smouldering. There was a grudge there. A grievance that made him unable to sleep or eat."Sir?" called out a Fritz subordinate.Immediately, a bullet whizzed by. It passed right next to the servant's ear. "Not now!" snapped Fritz instantly. He didn't move from his spot. He even fired the bullet from a sideways position. Only his hand was extended, holding the gun. Had he actually faced his opponent, the bullet would have killed his subordinate.The servant Fritz fell to the ground. He was speechless. His heart was beating so fast. If he had moved just a little, he would have lost his life."Go!" said Fritz.The servant retreated in an orderly fashion. He closed the door and left.Fritz couldn't take it anymore. Some time ago, he contacted Elissa, asking for something straightforward."Why
"Oh no! We're not going to use an expensive car for this event," prevented Edgar when he saw Elissa about to pick up her cellphone to make a call."What? Then what are we going to use? Taxi?"Edgar shook his head. He smiled. Then proudly, he spread his hands, pointing to an old bicycle parked neatly beside the hotel."Seriously? I've never used a bicycle. I'm sure I'll be sore." Edgar tugged at the corner of his lips. He smiled crookedly. "If you don't want to get sore, hold on tight. Or you can stand, too."The man then stepped closer to his bike. He no longer cared about the protesting Elissa.Even though she was extremely lazy, she actually liked being treated like this. Last night, she was so touched by her husband's treatment. Instead of the man sleeping on the bed, he slept on the floor, honouring his wife.It's just that riding a bicycle is another thing. Elissa had not touched it once. When she was a child, she never asked to buy a bike. Instead, she asked for a small car tha
"Let me get you a drink first," Edgar said. He then moved to the bar table in the corner of the room.Seeing the opportunity, Ami and Cassie immediately approached Elissa's table. They weren't invited to the inauguration of the new face of the hotel, but since they were staying at the hotel, they could freely enter the free event. Of course, their stay wasn't their own money, but Elissa's."You said you wanted to reveal. But you're so stiff," Cassie teased."That's right. You're like a mannequin paired with a human, you know. You're so flat-faced like you have no emotions. You're like a living corpse, you know."Elissa held her cheeks. "Really?" she asked incredulously."It's useless to put on makeup, but your face looks like a zombie who can only gawk."Elissa tapped her forehead. "I can't believe how flat my expression is?"Ami took out her gadget. She played a video of Elissa's arrival from the moment the woman got off the bicycle with Edgar. Although Elissa looked happy, as soon a
Fritz continued to look at Edgar. However, what he wanted still needs to materialize. Edgar was still sitting while talking with Elissa's two friends. Nothing had changed. Her drink was also gone. Fritz was only dumbfounded when he realized that the colour of Edgar's drink differed from what he served. Edgar's glass, this time, was brown instead of red.Fritz wandered around. He searched for where Edgar's poison drink should be. Every corner, his eyes explored. But still nothing strange. There was no commotion because someone died, nor was anyone lying around.Fritz kept looking. And suddenly, his chest felt tight. His heart was beating very fast. Cold sweat poured down his body. Fritz thought quickly, trying to figure out what had happened. Then, when he looked at his desk, he was shocked to see the drink Edgar should have drunk on his desk."Why?" he whispered.It was no one's doing. No one wanted to kill Fritz. It was purely his fault for not seeing when he took a drink from a wait
"Are you awake?" asked Edgar. He sat down beside Elissa. His clothes hadn't changed at all. He still wore a suit, complete with a tie. He sat with his back to her. The doctor had gone home after making sure Elissa was fine. Perfect. In the room, there were now only Edgar and Elissa.Elissa held her head. There was still a slight dizziness there."What happened?" asked Elissa.Edgar swallowed. It wasn't enjoyable to reveal what happened.A phone call interrupted the silence between them. Elissa was about to sit down. She knew it was the ringtone from her phone. Unfortunately, her body still felt weak."Can you please get my cellphone?" asked Elissa.Edgar, who had been daydreaming, instantly nodded. He tried to smile. Edgar grabbed Elissa's cell phone on the table and handed it to his wife."Yes, Dad?" asked Elissa."What exactly did you do to do such an embarrassing thing, huh?" asked Desmond."Embarrassing? What does that mean?"Desmond sent a link, "See what I sent," he continued.E
"Do you know where Edgar is?" asked Elissa hurriedly."I saw him walk out of the hotel earlier."Elissa left immediately. She grabbed her sling bag and ran outside. Elissa pressed two elevators at once. But both of them had just passed the floor where she was standing. Not wanting to wait long, she finally rushed down the emergency stairs. She didn't care about the height of the bed. She had to go down. Her only thought was one: she wanted to see her husband immediately.She shouldn't have said that. She should not have accused Edgar of anything. She knew herself that her husband was a good man. As far as she had researched in the past, Edgar had never once wanted to touch a woman's skin, let alone hurt it. So she should have known that Edgar could not have done such a stupid thing. There was no way Edgar would again poison Elissa with such an unholy drug in public.Elissa's breath caught. She was downcast while holding the iron staircase divider. An inch of a sweet memory with Edgar
"Can you please tell me where Edgar is now?" asked Elissa hesitantly. She now approached Araf, who was getting ready to leave.After calming down, Cassie and Ami suggested that Lissa, where Edgar worked. Although many people recognized Elissa because of the incident, Elissa had no choice. Right now, in her mind, she was only worried about her husband. Unfortunately, the man was blunt when she met Edgar's best friend, Araf.Araf crossed his arms. He looked sarcastically at Elissa. "Why are you looking for him? Do you want to trample on his pride again?" Araf shouted.Elissa was silent. She couldn't argue with what Araf said. But she couldn't go on like this either. "I admit that I have gone too far.""Oh, you just realized it now? Too late," Araf scolded. He then turned around and returned to organizing his belongings."Please ...."Araf hissed. "I won't let you see him again. It's enough for him to suffer," she said."Raf, please don't be childish like this.""Childish? Which one of
Edgar glanced around. He had secretly dialled the Lebanese police's 999 emergency number before going out. He didn't say much, but if they heard a scream or the sound of a gun, they would know that Edgar was in trouble. He had also pressed the mute button, ensuring that all the criminals here had no idea Edgar had called the police. All that was left was to buy time for the police to arrive.Edgar looked at his enemy. The tips of his eyes began calculating the distance between himself and the enemies. He needed a shield from the gunfire. There were three enemies here. Each was holding a revolver. If Edgar's guess was correct, eight bullets were in their guns. Eight bullets times three firearms meant 24 shots ready to fly and penetLissae Edgar's body.Edgar swallowed. His enemies had yet to attack. That meant they wanted to capture Edgar alive. But Edgar also didn't dismiss the assumption that they wanted to kill him."What you want?" said Edgar as he prepared his attack. He deliberate
