We returned by nightfall.  Inside the Mansion. We entered the mansion and immediately our focus turned to the unimportant person in the living room. An irritating person which I don't want to see.  “ Alex, where have you been? I was waiting for you for the whole evening.” She spoke placidly as she stood up from the couch. Her facial expression immediately changed when she found my presence.  “ Waiting for whom?” I asked as I moved forward and stood beside him. “ Alex, you promised me. you will spend some time with me.  "" promised? " I asked as I looked at Alex. Alex avoided my gaze.  " Where were you been, Alex. "  Maria asked. " You don't know where the couple will go at this late night?

Soon, the news was disclosed. The latest news became the top search. My father, after he heard the recent news, couldn't believe it until he saw it with his own eyes. Maria’s scheme didn’t work out again and didn’t go according to Maria’s thoughts. A few days later, news of Maria's ex-husband’s death was announced. Maria got shocked and nervous at the same time after she heard the news. I thought it was her plan. But it turns out to be something. She didn’t pick up on me for the next few days.   After a few days, the influence of the scandal vanished. But my father looked at me like a criminal or I can say he had totally lost his trust in me after the scandal. My father didn’t reveal or inform me of his meeting with Mr.Gold.  My father was about to retire so he had no other way than to appoint me as the CEO for the time being.

And one more thing, there is an event tonight.  Want to attend the party as my wife, Mrs. Alex Walter.”“ No need,” I said. He moved his head away from the crook of the neck. I turned around and tightened his tie.He looked at me.“ Then don’t get jealous,” he said as he pinched my nose.“ Why? Why do I have to get jealous?”His cell phone began to ring. I looked at him.  Suddenly I realized the time.  I pushed him.“ Okay bye, baby. I have to leave,” I said as I pecked on his cheek. He took his cellphone and hang up the call and grabbed my hand and pulled me closer.“ I have work,” I said as I freed my hand from his grip. I took my handbag and left the room. I stopped my track and w

I held Alex's palm. Soon he relaxed and looked at me for a second and turned his focus to Mr.Zen." Mr.Zen.
