Valencia turned the plate over in front of her, picking up the rice and side dishes that were already spread out in front of her. As Valencia nonchalantly took a bite, Aunt An came over and startled Valencia.

"Madam, Master deliberately sat in front of the dining table without taking his food first just to wait for you so that Master could have breakfast with you, madam."

Ukhuk... Ukhuk...

Valencia choked on Aunt An's words. She glanced fiercely at Asher, who was still acting indifferent. "This insolent man! Is he deliberately acting like that to make me look like an irresponsible woman for neglecting her husband? He's the one who's been staying away from me every time I'm at the dinner table these past two days." Valencia grumbled. This time Asher seemed to hear her faintly.

"Honey, did you say something just now?" Asked Asher. He stopped his work for a moment and turned to Valencia with a grin.

"No! That's right... Dear Mr. Asher-" Valencia picked up the plate in front of Asher,

    Valencia smiled in response to the makeup artist's words and said, "How is that possible? I'm not talented in modeling. It is enough, for now, to be a wife always there for Mr. Asher." Said ValenciaValencia inwardly cursed, 'Oh my... how could I say such a thing to avoid the words of women who like to talk nonsense?! If Asher hears about it, I'm sure he'll get a big head and push me harder like this morning. He and I didn't have anything going on last night, but he's still talking as if I'm the one who attacked him.'Valencia was too absorbed in her thoughts to realize that the makeup artist, "Madam had called her many times the makeup artists "Madam had called her many times... madam... what's wrong with you, madam?" this was the third call made by the makeup artist to wake Valencia from her reverie."Ah.. yes, sorry, I was daydreaming earlier. Finish it quickly." Valencia immediately stepped towards the makeup table and sat in front of the table that already had a large mirror in f

    Valencia did not immediately answer Asher's question. She seemed to be thinking about what steps to take in the future. Her eyes, which she tried to avert, also could not continue to avoid Asher and finally looked at Asher's two beads with a firm gaze."Hmm... I have to go back to Stanford to prove everything is true. I can't keep running away from reality." Valencia spoke in a flat tone even though her gaze was firm. It took time for Valencia to believe Asher's words.A warm peck landed on Valencia's forehead, and a smile Asher gave to his beloved wife, who was currently feeling turmoil in her heart. "Never mind. For now, don't overthink this. Leave everything to me, dear. Look at your face already very messy. It's a good thing you didn't cry. Otherwise, your makeup would have smeared, and you'd probably look even more like the white-robed ghost in Broughton." "Your jokes aren't funny, Asher. And another thing, you don't look at all fit to be a comedian. So keep your dime jokes to y

    There is no critical conversation during the journey from the mansion out of the quiet road because the mansion is built in a mountainous area. The two of them were silent, and Valencia occasionally chuckled at the sight of Asher's other private cars and several escort cars following behind, "Oh my... What a strange man. It's obvious there's a need. Why are you still so concerned about taking me to Raisa's house? And again, what the hell is that other car of his following behind? Gosh, this guy... I don't know what's inside his brain." Valencia muttered, which seemed to be still audible to Asher."If you're talking about me, why not say it aloud, dear? Maybe I'll be interested in hearing it." Said Asher, occasionally glancing at Valencia while focusing on the vehicle being driven at a moderate speed."I don't care! Stop eavesdropping on other people's words. You better focus on the road, sir." Valencia said sarcastically, and Asher only smiled slightly at that."As expected of my wif

    The two women who had just stepped into the ballroom set to be the venue for the wedding celebration instantly became the focus of many people in the room. They looked at Valencia and Raisa questioningly. Moreover, their arrival was escorted by several people in black suits. It was obvious they were executive bodyguards. Only certain people have such a tight escort. At least, that's what applies in Indonesia.Valencia, with her blood-red dress split at the bottom sideways, accompanied by Raisa, who wears a silver dress that shows a little cleavage down, brings an elegant impression on both of them. "Looks like the invited guests have partially arrived. When are you going to launch your attack?" Raisa whispered to Valencia. They were now seated in one of the reserved areas. Servers came to serve drinks as desserts and other food was already available in the buffet section. "Wait until the right time. I will send a message to Asher's subordinates who work for me to play the videos a

    Valencia looked back at them with a smirk. "You're just a bunch of women who have nothing to do with bothering others. Why should I know who you are?! I suggest you sit before the wedding altar and watch the person you glorify get married. Do you think Carissa will be happy to see you making a scene in the middle of her wedding party?! Don't be silly." Valencia mocked.In the next second, the two people behind the woman who kicked the table confirmed Valencia's words and asked to return to their seats. But it seemed that the woman's ego and level of interference were high. She didn't want to leave without throwing a tantrum."Alright, I'll leave. But before that, I'll warn you of one thing. Don't ever interfere with Luze's relationship with Carissa. Because if that happens, I won't let you off easily!!!" he threatened with a glare."Pffft... hahaha..." Valencia's laughter broke out, and it startled Raisa and the three women who heard it, startled, "Hey, don't think too highly of them.

    All eyes were on Asher, who came with several bodyguards behind him. Ken, Asher's secretary and right-hand man, also came with a file in his hand. "Let go of my wife's hand. A man who doesn't have a stand like you doesn't deserve her love!" Asher firmly released Luze's grip on Valencia's hands and pulled Valencia into his arms. He was showing everyone in the room that Valencia was his. "On what basis do you claim Valencia is yours, Mr. Asher? In case you forgot, I am still Valencia's lover."Asher smiled mockingly. For a moment, his eyes glanced at still-silent Valencia, then hid Valencia's face in his arms. "Lover?! You!" Asher pointed at Luze. "Tsk tsk tsk... I can't get over people like you. You've left Valencia and are now married to another woman, but you're so shameless that you still consider Valencia, who is obviously my legal wife, your lover? Mr. Luze, you think too highly of yourself.""Bastard!" Luze growled as he clenched his hands together with emotion. As things we

    After Asher's departure, Raisa invited Valencia to leave the room. The place was now much quieter. All the invited guests had left, leaving only a few employees to clean up the mess. Carissa has been alone ever since Luze ordered his men to bring Carissa. The woman was nowhere to be seen. Luze herself?! She was probably in a state of madness. As you can imagine, the company that had made him give up his girlfriend was destroyed because of the parents. In front of the J. Marriot building, a car had been prepared to take Valencia and Raisa away. "Rei, where are we going? Or is it better for you to go home? It looks like you still need some time to calm down." Raisa opened the side door and let Valencia in first. Valencia shook her head as she smiled, "Yeah... We'd better go home. Don't think of anything strange. I didn't think of anything earlier. I'm just a little tired.""You're such an idiot," Raisa got inside and closed the car. "Sir, start the car. Take us back to the mansion."

    "Married?! That woman? Seriously?!" Zean asked, raising his voice. He was shocked to hear that Valencia, aka Alexa, was married.After two years of not seeing each other and a significant change happened. This was entirely unexpected for Zean. "I had a feeling that I had said that Valencia was married. So what if my best friend is married? Don't tell me you'll approach her and say you fell in love at first sight, as her husband did with Valencia. Ish... Men, their modus operandi never changes. Same old same old. Get out of my way."Raisa's mouth was so slick with words that Zean was too lazy to respond and turned away. "Never mind. You better wake up, your friend." Raisa tried to wake Valencia back up, who wasn't sleeping. "Thank you for taking us. By the way, Zean, I'm going in first. You better drive Raisa because she didn't bring a car here." Valencia said. She got up from her place by grabbing her mini bag and then left the car casually. "Remember, you have to take Raisa to her

    "Surprise?!" repeated Asher with one eyebrow raised. 'Valencia doesn't usually make surprises like this. What does my naughty wife want to do?' but the words stuck in Asher's mind.Asher massaged his temples and signaled the waiters to disperse. Asher was completely unaware that today was his birthday. All Asher knew was that he was irritated by his nosy wife's behavior, who arbitrarily changed the order of the mansion. Even though Asher always kept the mansion the same as before, which was when his late mother still occupied it.Asher's light steps carried him up the stairs to their bridal suite, hoping his wife was there or making sure Valencia didn't leave the mansion without his knowledge. Every step Asher took was like a flower blossoming in spring. It felt so thrilling."Since when did my heart become so pounding just from stepping into a room and imagining Valencia sleeping on her back. Oh shit! I really can't seem to help it." Asher said.The door to the room was still firmly

    Valencia let out a long sigh after seeing Avrora's departure from her sight. Her body that had tensed up with the veins on her forehead that were interlocking gradually decayed and went limp. Her sluggish body collapsed and sat down on the sofa with both palms that still left a sense of anger, fear and trembling. 'I never thought I would have to deal with a woman of such high status in the Kingdom so quickly. It's really tiring, even my hands are still shaking after her departure.'"Madam, are you alright?!" Asked Rey worriedly at Valencia who looked exhausted and had a worried look on her face. Valencia turned to Rey who was standing beside her with a smile. She waved her hand slightly as a sign that she was okay. "I'm fine, Rey. Oh yeah, I hope this incident doesn't reach Asher's ears." Valencia said calmly, though not as calmly as her heart was still racing at the thought of Avrora's name. "Are you sure you don't want me to report it to Lord? Because I think, in the future, th

    Valencia turned her head with a smile and patted Liana's hand to ease the anxiety of the maid Valencia already considered a friend. "I'm fine. After all, from the moment I found out that Asher had been matched, I already had a premonition that there would definitely be a time for me to meet Princess Avrora. It's just that I didn't expect that the time to meet would be this soon, I will definitely deal with it.""Madam, you are truly full of patience and maturity. It is fitting that the lord chose you to be his lifelong companion. Master has never made a wrong choice.""Never mind... don't keep praising me. Rather, prepare the meal for Princess Avrora immediately. I'm afraid the maid made a mistake out of fear. I'm going to change my clothes to welcome her."Valencia and Liana began to move off on their own. Valencia went upstairs to change into proper clothes. Liana, on the other hand, took over the maid's duties to serve the honored guests of the Kingdom.In the living room, Princ

    Asher glanced with a sharp glance at Louzen, "Louzen you come to my office." Asher ordered."Yes, sir." Louzen trailed behind Asher, following his leader to the Dragon Knight leader's private study.In the Dragon Knight leader's private study, Asher was already sitting at his desk. Meanwhile, Louzen stood in front of him quietly waiting for Asher to start talking. "Tell me Louzen. What information did you get from the incident that happened at The Angel building?" Asher asked calmly. He didn't want to pressure Louzen and make him too cautious.As much as possible Asher made Louzen feel that he didn't know anything Louzen had done, so that in time Asher could catch those who were traitors in the Organization. As the saying goes, if you want to catch a fish, you need to spread the bait, widen the net and pull it slowly so that the fish is not surprised and get a satisfactory catch.Louzen was still silent. He seemed to be organizing the right words to say to Asher. "Sir, I've sent a t

    Asher glanced at Rey. "Rey, escort Her Highness the Princess back to her palace. Tell Her Majesty the Queen to take good care of her daughter. I have a busy schedule and don't have time to play with her spoiled daughter!" Rey immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Swearing by anything, Rey would do everything he was told, except bringing Princess Avrora back to the Palace. But Rey was just a subordinate, he was forced to obey his lord's orders. "Your Highness Princess, please return to the Palace. Currently the Master cannot accompany you, he has a busy schedule that cannot be postponed." Rey said with all due respect to the daughter of the leader of the Stanford Kingdom. Avrora could only snort in annoyance. She was indeed old enough to lead a country. Avrora was also smart enough to follow protocol or state meetings. It was just that her attitude suddenly turned spoiled and childish when in front of Asher. That's what made Asher feel ill-feeling and uneasy if he had to linger wi

    Valencia noted the ingredients needed to make the cake, tumpeng yellow rice, young coconut, other fresh fruits to make fruit ice and finally vegetables for the side dish to complement the yellow rice. "Yep... Can you read it, Liana?" Asked Valencia, she handed the piece of paper to Liana. "Let me read it. Hmm... " Liana looked like she was reading seriously. "It looks like the meal that Madame is going to make is going to be special. There are a lot of spices that are said to make food have a high flavor. I'm really looking forward to Madame cooking a lot of food." Liana grinned. Valencia had already prepared it earlier. She took out her gold card and gave it to Liana. "Shop all you want, Liana. I'll be waiting for you here.""Yes, ma'am. Then I'll go shopping." Liana said cheerfully. Valencia could only shake her head in understanding. She did not expect, the figure of Liana that Valencia first saw looking very mature and calm was only a cover. The Liana that Valencia saw at thi

    Asher looked at the file in front of him to check. But his mind drifted to thinking about the arranged marriage forced by his father. "Rey, order a team of hackers and spies to track down the ulterior motives between father and Her Majesty the Queen. I'm still sanctioning this just an ordinary matchmaking. There must be a price to be paid by Father for this." Asher ordered. "Sir, isn't your wife the fiancée of the Crown Prince who disappeared two years ago?!" Rey asked while struggling with the documents in front of her. "Hm. Alexa Zheyana Hoult is the official fiancée with a will and stamp from the late King. Therefore, even though I am legally married to Alexa in Broughton. Alexa's engagement to Daniel was still valid in Stanford, as long as the will and royal seal had not been returned. And damn it, those seals were nowhere to be found. Perhaps someone from the late Madame Harsha's camp has deliberately kept it.""So, according to the master. Lady Alexa's supporters still expect

    "Shhh... don't let anyone else hear about this, let alone Asher." Alexa warned Liana with her index finger to keep what she saw and heard a secret. "But why would you do that, ma'am?" Liana asked not understanding Alexa's train of thought. She put the porridge on the table and sat next to Alexa. "You know, Liana. The first time I met Asher was a miracle. I had just fallen off a cliff because I was escaping from someone's captivity and Asher was lucky to save me. It was only a few days after that. He suddenly legalized the marriage without my knowledge on the grounds that I was unconscious, isn't that ridiculous." Alexa said recounting the beginning of her meeting with Asher. "Madam, I have become very curious about the course of Madam's love story with Tuan. Because as far as Liana knows about Tuan. He is a rigid man who is against women." "Really?! Ah... don't just say that. How can any woman reject a man as handsome and rich as Asher." Alexa chuckled with her opinion. "I'm

    Louzen and his men took over the job of taking care of the guards. Asher headed for the car that was ready in the courtyard. Yes... The Ferrari that Asher was using was parked in front of the building. Maybe Louzen had brought the car to the courtyard. Asher opened the car door behind the steering wheel with his left hand. He sat Alexa down with the car seat stretched out to make Alexa feel comfortable. Alexa's eyes were still closed, which made Asher even more worried and anxious. He closed the side door then switched to the driving seat and took his sports car at high speed. A 30-minute drive from The Angel building to the mansion. In front of the main door, Asher stopped the car. From the front side of the door, the mansion guard approached the car and opened the front door and invited Asher to get out. Asher came out from inside and gave the car keys to the guard. "Move the car." Asher ordered. He immediately went to the side door of the car and lifted Alexa bridal style and
