Zachary simply grinned, disregarding Lulu's wrath.

"Even if you do, I would own up to it because I deserve that much. I've even written my will to ensure that you won't be punished."

Lulu snorted coldly. "Save your cheap theatrics."

Zachary did not mind that at all. "Whatever you say."

He was being thick-skinned, and he could not care less about what Lulu said or thought about him.

After all, he knew very well that Lulu's impression was long since tarnished, and he would just lose her if he still cared about his image now.

This time, he would not lose her—he would keep her firmly within his grasp no matter the cost.

However, Lulu only felt irritation from seeing his face, and she started to head out.

Zachary followed her. "Where are you going?"

Giving him a look, she replied, "I need a job."

"I can give you money, or arrange for a position at my company. How does becoming my personal assistant or secretary sound?"

He was smiling, but he was dead serious—he would never al

    Ricky had decided to go to Lulu while Zachary was not at home.Lulu was just about to leave when he arrived, intending to look for Ricky since she needed his help.As they ran into each other at the front door, they stared into each other's eyes for a couple seconds before Ricky spoke. "Zachary is with James Cross. I came knowing that he won't be around—"Lulu stepped up and grabbed his wrist, pulling her somewhere quiet to talk. "I was just looking for you. I need your help.""What is it? Just tell me—I'll see to it," Ricky promised.Lulu gave him an address and told him, "There's a couple who lives there. The husband is Tobias Lang—he and his wife Barbara saved me. Zachary is threatening me with their safety, and I can't do anything or leave him because of that. That's why I need you to hide them so that Zachary would never find them.""That bastard!" Ricky cursed."That's enough, go already," Lulu urged, worried that they would be surprised if they were too late. Ricky held

    Enrique was going to Seth the video when his phone rang.He answered it to Harvey's screams.Enqirueq's fingers clenched over his phone, his heart racing from the sheer horror of those screams. "Mr. Gooding?" he asked tentatively, but got no response.The call lasted for an entire minute, and Enrique listened for that long, his face turning pale.He did not want to imagine what inhuman torment Harvey was subjected to.Still, he was left dumbfounded when the call was suddenly cut off, confused by what just happened.Did they call him just to make him listen to Harvey scream?What was the point?"What is it? What's that look for?" Seth asked.Enrique shook his head. "I'm just worried about Mr. Gooding's safety.""Was that him?"Enrique nodded, and then shook his head—if his hunch was right, it was not Harvey, but Isaac who told his goons to do it.While he was still left confused about what the phone call was for, the door suddenly opened with a loud bang!Up to seven burl

    Enrique clutched his head and curled into a bawl, his innards felt as if they were crumbling when someone kicked him in the stomach.Sweating buckets from the pain, he cried, "I-I really don't know…"It would have been better if he said nothing—it only got him a worse beating!James joined in as well and aimed a vicious kick at Enrique's chest!"Argh!" Enrique screamed as a loud crunch resounded, as if the sound of a rib breaking.He clutched his chest and turned pale, and started convulsing as if having trouble breathing.James told everyone to stop right then, or they might kill him."Honestly, did you boys have to go that far?"Everyone looked up and stared at him for a long while, as if to say 'look who's talking'. After all, James clearly did the most damage just now.Still, James cleared his throat and snapped, "What are you looking at me for?"Everyone continued to stare at him regardless, so he waved them off. "Fine, fine. That was my bad. Check him if he's alive."

    Harvey stammered, "J-Just let him go… I'll delete everything I have."Still, James warned him, "You'd better make up your mind, and don't think about playing tricks. Otherwise, we would just capture him again—and when we do that, it won't just be physical torture."Harvey certainly had a plan and he glared at James after what he said. James sneered right then. "What's that look for? Did you fall in love with me?"Harvey really wanted to spit in James's face just then, but he just did not have the strength."I'll talk to Isaac," he demanded.James gave Harvey a look, but he said nothing and turned to leave. Isaac was standing in front of the window at the room outside, and James walked over to him."Harvey is going to talk."Seconds of silence ensued before Isaac turned around. "Bring him here.""Yes, sir," James returned inside and beckoned for his men to drag Enrique outside.Isaac walked into Harvey's room after that and lowered his gaze coolly at all the blood on the fl

    Isaac told Irene before that he did not mind, but did he really not feel repulsed at all?Irene became suspicious. It was not as if she doubted Isaac, but if she were in his shoes, she would still feel slightly averse after what Harvey did. She would not complain or doubt their relationship for that, since it was normal for a person to have reservations—and a person had their own feelings as well as opinions.She would not blame Isaac for that, and they both probably needed time to let the whole affair cool off.Settling down on the couch, she stared upwards at the clock on the wall, its ticking exceedingly clear in the silent room.She glanced at her phone, hesitating for a moment, but ultimately did not pick it up.She simply lay down and pulled her blanket over herself, closed her eyes and slept.…Zachary had sought out James to complain, but as James was busy, Zachary returned to his office.He headed home as soon as the skies started to turn dark, and only his mother

    Zachary clasped a hand over Lulu's mouth, ignoring her flailing arms as he shoved her into his car and snapped at the chauffeur, "Drive!" The chauffeur quickly did so, while Lulu bit down on his palm in fury.Zachary frowned in pain, but was not letting go at all.He kept her firmly restrained and cried determinedly, "I'm not letting you go—ever!"Lulu glared at him. "I hate you and I'll never love you. You won't get anything even if you keep me confined, so get yourself another woman instead of wasting your time with me!""What are you talking about?" he growled angrily. "You're the only one I have.""Really?" Lulu was obviously skeptical, finding all his obsession nothing more than an act as he coolly asked, "Ricky told me that you were married and had other women before, or is that a lie?"Zachary had no comeback against that other than trying to explain, "My mother forced me. I was always loyal to you, and even if I did cheat on you, I didn't mean it!""Hah!" Lulu snorted

    The sharp edge of the knife cut through cloth and flesh, and blood soon dyed Zachary's shirt red.Lulu's hands twitched for an instant, but she soon clenched her fingers and reared her chin at him. "Punish yourself however you want—it won't work with me. I won't shed a tear even if you die in front of me."Zachary thought he could hear his own heart shattering right then, and the physical agony he suffered was less than a fraction of his heartache.He would not believe that it was over between him and Lulu.They used to be in love, that was why he would not believe that she felt nothing toward him at all!He took her hand and put it on the hilt. "If you really feel nothing towards me, pierce my heart with this knife."Lulu averted her eyes. "So that you can make me a murderer? I knew you were always vile. Kill yourself if you want—don't try to pin the blame on me!""Oh, Lulu. You've forgotten everything but you're still stubborn as ever… alright, if that's what you want." Zachar

    "It was his own fault."'Lulu did not feel her conscience gnawing at all, because she never lifted a finger. Naturally, Mrs. Slate was not about to believe her. "Really? Do you think you'd believe it if you were told that?""I would," Lulu replied.Mrs. Slate scowled. "You…""Please, I need a signature," the nurse interjected just then. Worried about Zachary's safety, Mrs. Slate quickly signed the consent form and said, "You have to save my son.""Don't worry, the doctors will do their best, and it's not that serious anyway."With that, the nurse returned inside with the surgery consent form, leaving behind a scowling Mrs. Slate. She did not speak to Lulu, but the gears in her mind were working furiously.It was clear that she could not make things work for Lulu—even if she had a change of heart and accepted Lulu now, Lulu's behavior only left her repulsed. Lulu kept demanding that she die for what she did, and had been hurting her and Zachary repeatedly.She probably w

    Soon after the wedding, Mr. Fowler proposed for Stan to work at his company to get used to the work over there.He was worried as he did not have much time left, and it would not do if he was gone before the proper arrangements were made.Still, Stan returned to Franconia with Isaac and his family, sorting out things at work and finishing every task he had on hand.While Isaac used to have a lot of free time with Stan around, he was just slightly busier after Stan left. After all, no company should operate in a way that losing a single person would stall all their operations.And after a week, Stan sorted out all the remaining tasks he had in Franconia and returned to Zidonia to start work at the Fowlers' family business.While Stan had property in Zidonia too, he moved into the Fowlers' mansion, but not as a live-in son-in-law. He was simply aware of Mr. Fowler's illness, and Rea wanted to spend more time with her parents.And as the son-in-law, he was obliged to do that much.

    Despite feeling wistful, Mr. Fowler eventually passed Rea's hand to Stan. "I hope you will both cherish each other from now on."Rea told him, "We will."Thereafter, it was the usual proceedings of a wedding, with exchange of rings and vows, the wedding speech, and the luncheon!Though everything went smoothly, Mrs. Fowler could not help shedding tears.She was pleased that her daughter was finally getting married, especially since she was looking forward to this.But now that Rea really did marry, she was worried that her life might get difficult and unhappy.Such was the worrisome nature of mothers.-Later, Stan led Rea to Isaac's table.They were all acquainted, but Stan introduced everyone once again to reacquaint them with Rea.After all, she was no longer Zachary's friend's cousin now, but Stan's wife.Erin was grinning from ear to ear. "Congratulations.""Thank you." Rea smiled in return."Congrats," Baby said, imitating the adults.Rea reached out to stroke his c

    Zachary said, "I heard you sealed the deal with Rea Fowler, and her family is preparing for your wedding."Stan smiled. "I'm the look of success—getting a girl couldn't be simpler. See? I'm getting married already.""Well, I guess we're all taken now," Erin said.Tommy poked his head up just then. "Congratulations, Uncle Stan.""Thank you." Stan chuckled, patting his head."Also, I heard that you're marrying into the Fowler family?" Zachary asked.Everyone turned to stare at Stan in shock, but it was understandable.Stan was not that modest that he would have to go that far—he had money and was successful enough to afford a wife.Still, Zachary—who knew the Fowlers—suggested, "To be fair, they do need someone to take care of the family business…"-Either way, it meant that Irene's family would be delaying their return trip to Franconia.After all, none of them had expected to attend Stan's wedding so soon after Zachary's.Stan himself did not expect that either, as he had

    "What's the problem? We've already slept together," Rea said as she put her clothes on.She frowned as Stan was still on the bed and not moving. "What, are you going to stay in my bed forever?""What am I supposed to wear?" Stan shrugged. "You haven't brought my clothes here.""I'll get it for you."Rea remembered his suitcase then and hurried downstairs to bring it up."Wear whatever you like. I'll be waiting downstairs," she said and hurried away.Stan got out of bed and put on a suit—it was only right to dress formally when it came to discussing marriage.After cleaning up and heading downstairs, he found Rea sandwiched by her parents.Stan had no idea if she had already mentioned it, but both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler were both staring at him, leaving him further tense.Clearing his throat, Stan began, "Excuse me, but—""Yes, we agree to you marrying our daughter.""You mean marrying into our family," Rea corrected them.Everyone else was staring at her before asking all at o

    If Rea asked her parents now, they would only get sad, and life would become difficult for everyoneWhat should she do to make them happy?Right, she could get married! Her parents would definitely be pleased. As for the choice of bridegroom, did she not have one readily available here?If Stan could pretend to be her boyfriend, he could definitely be her husband too.They could fake their marriage if they had to!Putting the medical file back where she found it, she wobbled up to her feet and left the room.Stan had yet to step out of the bathroom when she returned, so she sat on the bed and waited.After a while, Stan stepped out with a towel around his waist and paused when he saw Rea sitting there. "Where are my clothes?" He asked, presuming that Rea had forgotten since there was nothing on the bed or the table. "My suitcase is still in your car trunk."Rea turned toward him. "Let's get married."Stan was left speechless for a moment and soon chuckled, "Did you forge

    Mrs. Fowler smacked her daughter, but while Rea thought she was angry, she said instead, "Just do your best."Rea's mind was blown—were her parents bewitched? They were completely different from before! A long time ago, her parents had used to tell her that she did not have to marry as long as she was happy.But later on, they had persistently sent her on blind dates… and now, they were telling her to seduce a man?Touching her mother's forehead, Rea asked, "Are you sick?"Mrs. Fowler slapped her hand off. "Your dad and I are leaving now.""Yeah." Mr. Fowler nodded. "The chauffeur is waiting."Rea walked them to the door and watched as their car left before returning inside.She did not go upstairs since Stan was asleep, and she would be bored—she was the type who just could not sit still.However, it was inappropriate if she left since that would leave nobody home.In her boredom, she thought of pranking Stan. She headed upstairs to find him asleep, and soundly at that.Ca

    Unable to argue against her parents, Rea said, "Fine, fine. Whatever you say."Mrs. Fowler smiled. "Then help Stan upstairs to get some rest.""Which room?" Rea asked.Mrs. Fowler realized with a start and quickly said, "Oh, there's no bedding in the guest room… So let him stay in your room."Rea was left staring at her in shock. "When did you get so open-minded? Letting a man stay in your daughter's room?"Mrs. Fowler shrugged. "What can he do when he's drunk?""Haven't you heard of drunken fumbles?" Rea asked.Both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler shook their heads at the same time. "Nope."Rea was left totally speechless—this was just outrageous!She would think that Stan was actually their son, if it was not for the fact that they were not acquainted before.They were not like this before either—even if they were urging her to get married, they were not throwing her at a man like this!Mr. Fowler then said, "If anything happens, we'll demand that he takes responsibility and marries y

    "I get it," Stan replied quietly. "I wouldn't have been upset even if you didn't explain yourself. But since you did, I forgive you."Rea's brow creased as she pursed her lips. "See? I knew it. We really shouldn't be too nice to you."While Stan was speechless, Mrs. Fowler was enthusiastically putting food on Stan's plate. "This is our family's favorite dish. Try it."Stan nodded after a bite. "It's good."Mrs. Fowler smiled, while Mr. Fowler poured him a glass of wine. "Can you hold your liquor?"Stan smiled. "More or less.""You're being humble now." Mr. Fowler smiled at him. "You're definitely a good drinker.""A little."Rea had enough right then. "Dad, Stan has work to do, and he has to return to Franconia tomorrow. You're going to make things difficult for him."Mr. Fowler smiled awkwardly. "Right…" "You think?" Rea huffed, snatching his wine away. "Everyone only gets to have one glass."Mr. Fowler glared at Rea. "Party pooper."Rea shrugged. "I'm doing this for your

    Rea turned her head aside. "Then what's your hobby?"Stan did a double take and remembered his life… which was work and more work.It had been years since he took leave, and he would not get to goof off the last few days if it had not been for Zachary's wedding.Hobby? He certainly did not have anything like that.Now that he thought about it, his life was boring and monotonous, and he did not have anyone very close.That was why he wanted a kind, understanding wife to care and offer him company while he took care of her needs.When he looked up at Rea, he clearly felt that she was not for him—he needed someone to take care of him, but with her, he would be busy taking care of her instead."You're looking at me weirdly," Rea suddenly said."How so?" Stan asked.Rea moved closer, looking him in the eyes and asking solemnly, "Don't tell me—you've fallen for me?""You don't just suffer from a flawed personality—you're narcissistic too."Stan pursed his lips and checked the tim
