What Do We Win?

2024-10-29 19:42:56“Life had been quite hard for me when the father of my children kept on leaving us for his work.” Delta prepared a story for everyone to hear. “It came to a point where I started incurring debts. However, I ran into Wolfram, and something instantly clicked between the two of us. Since there were no troubles, we decided to get married.”
Delta looked up at the father, hoping he wouldn’t make things difficult for her. “It wasn’t long before the new building was inaugurated and opened.”
Trisha decided to interfere again. “No troubles? So, you have children with a man that was not married to you in any way? Kept on leaving you for work? Maybe you’re just stalking him in hopes to get his attention and make him responsible for your kids.”
She then turned to Wolfram. “That woman is obviously just trying to turn you into a cash card. Sooner or later, she will ask you for the most expensive gifts and let her dump her children on you. Are you sure you want to stay married to a woman like that?”
“If she wanted that to happen, then she wouldn’t be asking me to get her a position in the company.” Wolfram waved a hand, shocking Delta inwardly. “She’s not a trophy wife, Trisha. You should be able to tell the difference between Delta and you—sorry, I mean, a trophy wife.”
“…!” Trisha would say something, but David cleared his throat again. She couldn’t defy the father now that he was the one who interrupted.
David then stared at Delta. “You want a position in the Marcille Faction? Interesting. Do you have any special skills to impress me? If you manage, I will even award you a VP position. It’s not that hard since Wolfram dies in that building every day.”
Delta stared at the old man. She didn’t realize the Marcille Faction was that hopeless with Wolfram at the helm. However, she didn’t want to create an opportunity to get Wolfram kicked out. “I don’t think I’m the right person to take on Wolfram’s work, but I can support him in making the Marcille Faction a worthy member of Colton Industries.
“I used to work in research and development. Even if I deal with medicine more, I can bring my work ethic to accomplish the same results while working with building companies and programs.” Delta smiled sweetly as if going through an interview.
“Research and development… medicine…” David lifted his brows. He then glanced at Zenon. “Ah, isn’t the Rhea Faction in charge of medical technology and its related services? Aren’t you interested in hiring her instead, Zenon?”
“With all due respect, Dad, I don’t want to recruit the unqualified for a high position. The seriousness of our work will greatly be affected, even if it’s just one woman.” Zenon turned his nose up. “If she doesn’t know more than that, I can only give her an entry position in the lab.”
David stared before looking at Yuri. “She has no knowledge of the infrastructure industry, Yuri. If you were Wolfram, would you have someone like her stay by your side?”
Yuri turned to his father. As expected, the final decision was placed on his shoulders again. He didn’t mind. His father was already sick and old; he shouldn’t ask his father to think long and hard anymore. That was why he just smiled in Wolfram’s direction.
“Wolfram’s trajectory is on a downward trend. Whether she joins him or not, we are seeing bad results already. I don’t think it’s too much of a risk to put them together.” Yuri caught Wolfram’s glare. “I believe Wolfram also knows that. There’s nothing much to lose if they both failed.”
“…and if we succeed?” Delta asked gently. “Will we win something from you, Yuri?”
Yuri smiled in return. “Reverence. Utmost respect.”
Delta smiled back. Wolfram suddenly chucked her out there to be fed to the company. Even if she was hoping to work in the mesmerizing building she once saw, she didn’t want to stand out too much. However, that couple over there…
While it was true that she had no presence on the surface, she didn’t like the sound of Zenon calling her unqualified. If he was just an old geezer, she would have let him off. He just had to be that woman’s husband. The child was innocent, but the parents kept on attacking her for appearing next to Wolfram. It was a natural reaction, but they didn’t stop after two times.
“…so, how do you know if they failed?” Xander moved closer to the table, pouring wine into his glass again. He even did the same for his girlfriend. “You don’t expect the Marcille Faction to earn a lot of money within the year, right?”
“No, but all factions get graded by the board at the end of the year. Eight months is long enough for substantial projects to be sealed and signed. Some of them would even enter the second phase.” Yuri smiled. He raised buildings for his hotels, so he was a little familiar. “The scoring system is dependent on a lot of factors. I’m sure getting in touch with Colton Financial will guide you pretty well.”
Delta nodded. “What kind of scores are we expected to compete with? Are we expected to have a passing score of a hundred percent?”
Yuri shook his head. “Both Hermia and Amara operated for more than a decade now, yet none of them had reached a hundred percent. My Amara Faction continues to be on top with 95% yearly. After Father’s exit, our uncle struggles to keep Hermia above 80%. The Rhea Faction keeps on hitting 89% every year. Though this year, I wish to see an improvement to make up for the losses of the Hermia Faction.
“That is why the establishment of the Marcille Faction must be held on a high pedestal. The Hermia Faction can be revived upon the guidance of a good President. Training Xander may be a good solution.” Yuri’s expression was growing serious. “However, the Marcille Faction’s foundations must be built properly. Else, it will crash down and drag the whole group with it.
“Wolfram is failing to keep the faction afloat because of his aversion to work. It has nothing to do with his competence or skills.” Yuri pulled on his lips. “If you can motivate him, he might pull off wonders. If you need help in figuring out his working personality, I can give you a clue: he enjoys playing simulation games more than office work.”
When Yuri mentioned simulation games, Delta quickly thought about Wolfram’s so-called Red Core Secret Squad. Could he be in charge of things like that more than what their giant company needs on the surface? This Yuri looked like he was too diplomatic to think like a soldier. She only needed to take a glance at Wolfram to find the answer to her question.
Delta then smiled. “I understand. So, what number do you wish to see on the year-end report?”
Yuri gently shrugged. “I will commend you for hitting at least 75% as the Marcille Faction is a newborn. However, if you can surpass Rhea, I will grant you a seat on the board.”
With a mischievous smile, he glanced at the glaring Zenon. “I can even give you his seat if you impress me too much, Ms. Hart.”

“You want to gamble with my seat on the board, Yuri?” Zenon hissed at his older brother. “Who gave you the right to award my spot to just some random woman Wolfram found on the streets?”Yuri didn’t drop his smile as he shook his head. “Zenon, you have been part of the board since you received the Rhea Faction. Your scores are beyond impressive in the first few years, but you’re clearly lagging. On the tenth-year mark of your acquisition, I only want to see Rhea hit 90%, just as any other member of the factions.“Since you continue to fail to improve, I merely gave you a nudge.” Yuri’s smile grew tamer. “Your household expenses kept on rising because of your daughter and your wife. You might as well contribute bigger. At least, take solace in the fact that I didn’t go through firing you as the President of Rhea.”“You’re really discussing things like this in front of strangers?” Janelle whispered as she glanced at Delta. At least, that other woman decided to be Wolfram’s wife.When sh

Delta’s eyes flickered. Wolfram drew an unbearable picture of Regina—the supposed bitch-princess daughter of his second-eldest brother. However, she clearly looked like a rather unfavored child. Could this child be the way she was because tantrums and screams attract the attention of her parents more?Came with this thought was a look she gave Wolfram. However, the man gave a head shake. Don’t be fooled, he implied. Delta then looked at the girl sitting on the twin’s bed, joining them in looking at the two adults. Everyone was waiting for Zenon to pick up his phone.The woman then turned to Wolfram. “Maybe he blocked you already? How come he’s not answering? If they had to fly somewhere, the operator would say something else.”“He just didn’t want to answer my call. Why would he after what happened earlier?” Wolfram finally stopped trying. The light in the eyes of the children grew duller by the second. He just dialed Yuri’s number, hoping to just pass the message.[“Did you run into

“Safer?” Delta echoed softly, but she figured it was a talk for later. She just turned to find Foxley and got him to stop plastering his face against the glass wall.Wolfram squatted down to see how it looked from Foxley’s eye level. He couldn’t even see the price as if it was not something a child should see. He then turned to Foxley, whose cheeks were being wiped clean by his mother. After all, he pressed his face against something other children must have pressed their faces as well.Foxley then hugged Wolfram’s leg. “Wolfie, will you buy it for me? Let’s play on it together. I already know a lot of games we can play together!”“Sure, but you have to be extra well-behaved to your mom. If you misbehave, she will take it away.” Wolfram laughed, patting the head of the obedient child. He then got to his feet. “Let’s go inside. Maybe you can find more games for it.”“Okay!” Foxley went to hold Wolfram’s hand instead. “Help me read instructions, too. I can’t read all words yet. Mommy sa

Delta knew that this would happen sooner or later. After all, the news about her supposed marriage to Wolfram Colton had already spread far and wide. There was no way this man had not heard of it. He just had to see it for himself.“Die here? Is this how much you look down on me now, Delta?” Brandon chuckled in his deep voice. He then turned to face her, even standing before her. With a rather intimidating aura, he reached over to crush his cigar against the sink close to Delta’s arm. “Just because they intercepted Carolus, it doesn’t mean they are formidable enough to stand against me.”“Brandon, leave me alone. Eine and Foxley remain with me, and—” Delta would say something more, but her face was grabbed by the man.Brandon pulled on his lips to smile. “Delta, Delta… I should have said things clearer. I only want you back. Do you really think I care so much about your children? You’re a woman; I’ll just let you make as much as them if you like. As for those two outside, they’re bett

The man was speaking to another person, but he quickly ignored the other person when he caught sight of the disheveled Delta. He even walked toward her. “Delta! Are you all right?”“Mommy, they’re so scary!” Eine cried, and Delta got down to the floor to hug her. This daughter sobbed like this when her mother finally found her that time. Delta also pulled Foxley close for a hug. She thought the twins were shaken, but it seemed Foxley was not even affected.“Wolfie, you were so cool!” The boy was watching from the table. His sister was hugging him by then, but he didn’t cower in fear with her. “You were like a secret agent!”Wolfram also kneeled when Delta fell. He was ready to console the three, only to be taken aback by that boy. The ninja wasn’t even scared to watch such a very violent scene.He reached out to pat Foxley’s head. “We’re called ‘secret’ agents for a reason. Erm, don’t be like this. Console your sister and your mother, Foxley. Are you not terrified of the guns?”“I am,

Delta’s eyes flickered. The past few days were quite lonely and tiring. How could she not miss these people who brightened up her three years on the run? It was just that there were innocent people in this chatroom. She needed to protect them all from Brandon… and possibly Wolfram if things took a turn for the worse.…[PM: @Akhenaten That’s very kind. Thank you so much. I’ll pay that money back when I can.][PM: @Imhotep He gossiped about your money.

“Hey, we should head to that place now. I got Avalon to bring Eine and Foxley there as well.” Wolfram waved in front of her. He then wore his suit jacket.“I thought we were going to do it tomorrow.” Delta looked up at him. She didn’t even realize that the workday was over.“Nah, they’re also calling me for some new stuff. I’d rather go there today for two things than go again tomorrow.” He invited Delta with a gesture. “Also, I want you to see Red Core at its finest.”Delta didn’t know why he was willing to show her their family’s arsenal and secret army; however, that was for the best. She must have made him feel inadequate when she grew worried about her children. After all, she only knew a squad from Red Core.

Feet shuffled as someone ran up to the main lobby. There were giggles in her mouth as she ran around like a small child let loose in their new house. It was just that… it was not their new house. Delta just incredibly missed the majestic visage of the Blue Moon Estate.Instead of having the honeymoon right after the wedding, Delta asked to have it moved to another month—or even at the end of the year. After all, Wolfram was still undergoing physical therapy for his body. She also needed to catch up with work to snatch Zenon’s seat on the board.Nah, Trisha knew how to be kind even if she was like an old witch. Delta long forgot to zero in on Zenon’s seat. Yuri should just pick someone else’s.“Delta, aren’t you a little too giddy?” Wolfram laughed a little as he called out from the door. He was also caught perusing the door of his real house. Ever since they received that threat toward Eine and Foxley, they had relocated to the Willow House. It was nothing but a safe house prepared f
The Runaway Wife and Her Tabby Cat Prince Daddy Yuri
Even though the newlyweds escaped the church, Trisha was sure that they would return for the reception. She was making rounds to see the food served to the guests, but she only heard everyone discussing a few things about the wedding. They talked about the venue, the other guests, Delta’s angelic entrance… the children, the wedding vows, and the willful escape.Some matrons and maidens gossiped about the children a lot. It was evident in their vows that Delta’s little angels were not Wolfram’s children. However, the two kids would say ‘Daddy Wolfie’ every time.“Trisha, when are they returning?” Janelle stealthily went to her side and offered her a drink as an excuse. “We still have to tell Delta about the thing.”“Psh, do you think I’m not ready? Delta already knows about the plan.” Trisha huffed and still took the drink Janelle gave her. She sipped on it and waved her hand to make Janelle scarce. They shouldn’t be caught talking, or else people might get the wrong idea.Just as Jane

Chatters returned with squeals and cooing as the flower girls and the ringbearers came. Eine and Regina were like little fairies scattering the flower petals. Even if guests could not bring their children, the bride and groom’s family still had theirs. After all, these three had a role to play.Foxley walked next to Gulper, the dog carrying a pillow on its back. Gulper even had a suit that matched its owner’s clothes. The rings were on the pillow, encased in a glass box for people on the aisle to see. It was a pair of white rings with diamonds and gold linings.The music soon died down before the bridal theme started playing. However, instead of the normal song, what played was an old song only a few could recall. Wolfram figured it was that one song Delta liked listening to while she was waiting for Carolus to come home when they were still children.“Here she comes…” “Oh, my God… her gown is so gorgeous…”The people stood for the coming of the bride. When the doors opened again, the

The wares vendor hid behind her stand, but Delta still came to hand one to her. She didn’t do much for Delta’s mental well-being, but she was the first one who would lend Delta money when she needed to loan some to make ends meet.Delta still smiled at her, so the third vendor only chuckled nervously. “I’m really sorry. I just thought you grew so ungrateful and left without a word…”“A wedding? I guess you’re doing well. That’s good.” The man was eating the strawberries he bought while listening to them. He even offered some to Delta. “I’m also happy for you… even if you don’t know me at all.”“Don’t know? But I remember all my repeat customers. Thank you for buying a crate every time.” Delta also smiled at the man. However, she didn’t have any invitation for him. It was not like he expected one as well. She just indulged him by asking for one strawberry.…Days after…Delta kept on twirling in her room as she waited for the ceremony to start. She was already suited in her wedding gow

The solemn greeting of the maids echoed to the stairwell where Delta was. Instead of heading back to the home office, she changed direction and went to greet her husband. She descended the stairs and found him walking home after another day of physical therapy.Unlike what Delta thought, even his blades burned against his skin that time. Not only the obvious spot had third-degree burns. For Wolfram to regain his ambidexterity and attack speed, he needed to do a lot of physical therapy. Of course, it came with frustration and exhaustion.Wolfram walked with his eyes closed, so it was fairly easy for Delta to catch him with her own body. When he bumped into her, he only gasped softly and whined upon seeing the bright smile on her lips.“Delta, have you finished with the guest list?” Wolfram wrapped his arms around her shoulders as she did the same on his waist. “You also look mischievous. Are you doing something strange?”“No, nothing strange.” She giggled as she then moved to show him
The Runaway Wife and Her Tabby Cat Prince That Kind of Relationship
The sound of papers shifting conquered the room as two men were looking through them. Some were letters of congratulations as if hoping they would be invited to the wedding. Yuri had devised this thing when he married Mariska. Only those who could give the nicest wedding gifts were allowed to come to his wedding. Since Zenon did the same, everyone assumed Wolfram would not break tradition.Delta was working on customizing the letters to respond to the rest, while Finlay and Gendry were on the soft carpet. The two were going through the offers; one was grading their realism, while the other was running checks on whoever sent them. Delta could ask Angeline to go through them, but she needed that secretary to handle more things required by the company.She then chuckled as she took a break from typing. Delta gazed at the two working hard on drawing out a list of candidates. The woman would have to run it through Colton Industries afterward. After all, she needed to see which were blackli
The Runaway Wife and Her Tabby Cat Prince How Will They Remember Me?
Carolus glared at him before shaking his head in helplessness. These old people should just have their fun from time to time if they like. Shezmu just laughed at the poor person before looking at the tombstones. “So, this is where you always go to when you vanish. Sheesh, if not for Red Core, we won’t even find you.”Carolus turned to his other side and watched Khepri slowly sit down because of his awful injuries. Babi was also there, as well as three more older members of the House of Ra. He all remembered them as active operatives even before he became one—aside from Babi. They were also well-acquainted with Kathy as if they all grew up under her care.Babi hugged her knees and placed her chin on them. “What kind of lady is Ms. Kathy? Since you’re not going back here anymore, I think today’s the only day worth talking about her. Also, we still have a lot of time before the sun sets.”“Yeah, it’s better than you speaking to a tombstone… unless we’re actually imposing on you.” Khepri
The Runaway Wife and Her Tabby Cat Prince She Has Become Greedy
Yuri was the first one to react and laugh while the rest of the men’s brows furrowed deeper. Trisha’s eyes bulged out on Delta, while Mariska went straight to pinching the woman’s face. Janelle only covered her mouth with a hand as if she knew what was happening.“It’s nice to find that Delta is indeed mentally sound as well.” Yuri only giggled as he saw what the women did to the spoiled little sister. “We’ll just leave when your friends start coming. For now, let’s discuss a few things.”“Foxley, Eine, Regina, let’s find pretty flowers for these two. Look at how sad their room is.” Trisha gathered the kids, who were also concerned about the lack of flowers. They left the room in an instant as if on a mission. The second Mrs. Colton just whispered a few things to her husband before she walked out of the door entirely.Yuri eyed the door close before assuming a seat on the visitor stool no one was using. “Congratulations on completing one of your most difficult tasks, Delta. Now that y

Delta moved her weak hands to hold the phone on her own. She wanted to get into a more comfortable position than straining her neck. “Wolfie, how are you? Does anywhere hurt more than your heart? You didn’t ask the children to visit you, right?”[“No, Sobek made the call to the Willow House earlier. I spoke to them like this.”] Wolfram made a helpless sigh. [“Delta, you come back here walking and well, okay? Five weeks might not be enough for us to recover fully. If anything, I want to get married without any IV drips anywhere.”]“Oh, don’t worry. I’ll make sure to hide those under your clothes.” Delta laughed and made Wolfram pout bigger. She then moved her hand in front of the screen as if caressing his face without touching the screen. “I can’t wait to come back to you…”Wolfram dropped his sour face and smiled at his wife. [“If I recover faster than you, can I visit you there? It should be safe enough, yes?”]Delta shook her head. “I don’t want to get stuck here for days. Maybe we
