The housekeeper took Ann to Ann's bedroom in the past. Hans Graham was waiting in there. Some of Ann's belongings seemed to have been packed in large boxes in rows. Some of the boxes were still unsealed and half empty.
"Hello, Ann. Please, sit down," said Hans Graham, patting the surface of the bed right next to him. The photo album he was referring to was in his hand. He was flipping through the photo album when Ann came into the room.
Hans Graham's face looked tired, and there were light dark circles around his eyes. His hair was messy, and his clothes looked miserable. He didn't look like the Hans Graham that Ann used to know. Hans' brown eyes and tawny hair were gloomy. Even so, his good looks were still visible.
Ann sat next to Hans Graham in a rigid posture. She wasn't comfortable in a closed room alone with Hans Graham. Her heart throbbed in pain when she saw Hans' face. Apparently, she had not been able to forget the heartache she had because of Hans Gra
SLAM!The bedroom door swung open. Jax's tall, bulky, menacing figure appeared at the entrance. His eyes stared at Ann, who was crying, making his sharp gaze even more frightening. He stepped forward and grabbed Hans by the collar roughly.“What did you do to Ann, you bastard? Why did you make her cry?” shouted Jax fiercely.“Let me go! What is this?" shouted Hans angrily.Hans pushed Jax with both hands with all his might in annoyance, but Jax's body still didn't move an inch from where he was standing and he gripped Hans' collar harder and harder until he couldn't breathe.“What did you do to Ann? Answer!" Jax snapped threateningly.Hans couldn't answer because Jax's grip choked his neck. His hands flailed around, trying to escape in vain. Seeing this scene, Ann became worried. She was afraid that Hans would get hurt because of her. She had to get Jax out of here as soon as possible."I am alright. Let him go
Jax deftly removed all the clothes that were still attached to his body. He kissed Ann's lips very gently and stroked her skin as carefully as if he were touching porcelain. Ann felt comfortable with Jax's touch and her lips curved into a slight smile. Quickly, Jax took off Ann's clothes. The woman did not refuse and let Jax see her smooth and seductive body.Jax's hand crept slowly across Ann's skin, teasing her in sensitive areas of her body until she let out a soft sigh of pleasure.Ann needed Jax's touch to clear her confusion. Ann needed someone to be by her side, reassured her that she's okay, and made her safe that she had people who care about her. Ann now didn't even know what to believe at this point. Did Ann still love Hans Graham or not? Ann didn't know. She was baffled.Jax was still kissing Ann's body gently, giving Ann comfort and peace. Jax's warmth and touch were so real.“Jax… I… I don't want to use you for this&helli
Ann's hands clenched in anger. Disappointment, anger, frustration, and sadness flooded her. So the sweet words spoken by Hans Graham turned out to be just a ploy for the sake of Franz Smith. Hans didn't really want Ann to get back together with him.Hans Graham lied, saying he still loved Ann. Maybe even from the beginning, he never loved Ann. It was clear that what he said to Ann was just bullshit.From the recorded conversations Ann overheard, it was clear that Hans Graham liked same-sex relationships and had deep feelings for Franz Smith. If so, when did this feeling start? After Hans Graham married Ann or even before marriage? If before marriage, marriage with Ann was not based on love, but there were probably other goals. The question was, what was the other purpose?Then, Hans's attitude that used to be gentle and seemed to be in love with Ann was it just an illusion and a charade? Ann still remembered that Hans looked kind and caring when he approached he
The detective who got the assignment from Jax worked deftly. He quickly gathered the evidence. Based on his findings, it seemed that before he met Ann, Hans had never been seen dating any woman. He attended school and graduated from an all-boys private university. Hans Graham met Franz Smith on campus, and they had been roommates in the dormitory. They had separated and worked in different companies before finally they were and worked in the same company.Arguably, Hans Graham had known Franz Smith years before he met Ann Davis. Ann's body felt weak as she read the facts gathered by the detective. Therefore, the chances were high that Hans Graham was dating Franz Smith before he met Ann.Then, what was the reason Hans Graham married Ann? Was it to cover the eyes of the public that he was gay? Was it because Ann was a gullible innocent woman that Hans Graham chose her? So Ann's marriage was just a camouflage to cover up Hans' relationship with Franz?Ann's eyes s
The next day, at Hans Graham's request, Ann came back to his house. This time she came accompanied by several bodyguards and Jace. Hans Graham had already prepared Ann's favorite breakfast menu when she arrived. His face contorted when he saw Jace came to accompany Ann."Good morning, Ann. I didn't expect to see J. Carter come with you. I have prepared your favorite breakfast. Let's eat first," said Hans Graham as he took Ann's hand and kissed the back of her hand. He glanced sharply at Jace, who was also looking at him with a cold, narrowed gaze.Ann smiled politely as she slowly withdrew her hand in discomfort.Ann could feel the tension and cold war between the two men. She didn't want to be stuck in that uncomfortable situation."Thank you, Hans. But I came to take the photo album left behind yesterday,” said Ann politely."Oh, of course. This is the photo album,” said Hans, taking the photo album off the table and handing it to Ann
The next day, the civil registry officer came to the residence of J. Carter. She brought the necessary documents and stamps. The woman came with an assistant. Lawyers for the Carter family were also present as witnesses. From the way the civil registry officer communicated with Jace and the Carter family's attorney, it seemed like they had known each other for a long time and knew the Carter family's secret from the start.The Carter family's attorney, Daniel Carlton, led Caroline Westin into the meeting room in the J. Carter residence. All three J. Carters wore white blazers with similar golden ties. All three J. Carter neatly arranged their hair, so it was difficult to tell the three apart. Meanwhile, Ann wore a white mermaid dress made of satin with gold embroidery. Ann wore only simple makeup and styled her hair a little.“Hello, nice to meet you, Ann Davis. Today I am in charge of leading the civil registration process for marriages. First, Mr. Carter and Mi
Jake escorted Ann to the back of the Carter mansion. There was a shooting range and a dojo not far from the place in a separate building after the back garden. They went there using a golf cart. You could say this area was an area for physical exercise. Ann hadn't had time to explore this area yet, so she looked at this physical training facility with her mouth wide open and eyes wide in awe.“You guys own this place? How rich are you guys really?” cried Ann in awe."Pretty rich. But this place has nothing to do with wealth, Ann. This training ground was built to give the Carters the ability to protect themselves,” said Jake, chuckling at Ann's enthusiasm.“Wow! You guys are always full of surprises,” Ann exclaimed.“Well, the Carters built a training ground and got us, private instructors, after the kidnapping. Our father is earnest about the physical training program for the three of us. He wants us to be able to surv
After Ann finished exercising and making love together with Jake, Ann's body was wet with sweat. Jake invited her to take a bath together and soak in the Jacuzzi. During this time, Ann only showered in the bathroom in her room. She had never been in a Jacuzzi before.The Jacuzzi was quite big and wide in a spacious room. There was a glass sliding door that Ann could open to see the view in the garden behind the mansion if she wished. Clear warm water flew in the Jacuzzi container. Before Ann came, the housekeeper had filled the Jacuzzi with rose water and rose petals. So when Ann opened the door from inside the house, a pleasant fragrance wafted as she breathed in the fresh air in the room."Do you like it, Ann? I've asked the housekeeper to prepare this Jacuzzi for us," said Jake as he took off his clothes and put them in the dirty clothes container."Yes, I like it. I've never tried this Jacuzzi. It's huge," Ann exclaimed in awe."It’s enough for
