31. Implied

On a bright Saturday morning, breakfast had just ended. Lucas wiped his mouth with a napkin as Velia cleared her empty plate and started tidying up the dining table. “It seems like we should get ready soon, Ve,” Lucas said. Velia, who had intended to get up with her dirty plate, paused. “Get ready?” she asked before something crossed her mind. “Are you serious about accompanying me shopping?” “Again and again,” Lucas sighed and shook his head. He finished a glass of water before continuing to speak. “Why do you often doubt my words, Ve? Have I ever done the opposite?” “No,” Velia shook her head with a smile. “It's just that I thought not many men like to accompany women while shopping.” “You always have my exceptions.” Velia was taken aback. Was there a blush on her cheeks? All she felt was warmth creeping there. “T-then...” Velia took a deep breath and stood up. This time, she would really tidy up the dining table. “...this dirty plate can wait for Diana's arrival.” The righ

32. The Presents

Unlike usual, Lucas drove alone. There was no Will. Perhaps there were a few things he needed to take care of before visiting his parents' house. Lucas let out a long sigh. During the pause created by the traffic light, he glanced at the passenger seat. There was a brown envelope and a jewelry box placed there. A gloomy expression appeared on Lucas's face. A name crossed his mind, weighing heavily on his breath. Velia. A honk brought Lucas back to reality as the traffic light turned green. He immediately continued driving. Around 45 minutes later, Lucas arrived at his parents' house. Without getting out of the car right away, he briefly glanced at his watch. The timing was right. Lucas got out of the car and quickly entered the house with one assumption. There would not be much time to spend on trivial conversations. Not wanting to accuse, but Lucas could somewhat guess the intention behind the dinner. His instincts warned him accurately when his mother invited him to have dinn

33. Reset

Lucas was captivated. Wrapped in her office suit and formal attire, Velia remained enchanting. “You look beautiful,” he said. Velia looked at herself, either directly by lowering her gaze or by looking at her reflection in the mirror. “Isn't this too much?” Velia felt a bit awkward. It was somewhat uncomfortable to wear branded clothes to work. Her track record did not allow that to happen. What would people think? “I think it's not something worth discussing,” Lucas replied as he approached Velia. He turned his body and smiled. “You look perfect in this outfit.” The shirt, skirt, and shoes fit her body perfectly. It was not overdone, but rather impeccable. Lucas satisfied his eyes by capturing Velia's appearance that morning. He occasionally caressed her upper arm. “How about we have breakfast now? I don't think you want to be late on your first day back at work, right?” It took Velia and Lucas no more than twenty minutes to enjoy their breakfast. Shortly after, they went dow

34. Reliever

Lucas’s chest roared. The tightness almost made it impossible for him to breathe. He tried to stay calm, but unfortunately, tranquility seemed to be forbidden for him now. “Bastard!” Lucas quickly loosened his tie. He hoped that the open space would provide more oxygen and suppress his emotions. But once again, he was mistaken. No use. The heat grew more intense, and it made Lucas growl even more. Lucas should not be emotional. Illogical turmoil was a vulnerable thing. It could obscure his clear and broad vision. Everything could become blurry. That was dangerous. Finally, he gave in. Lucas could not take any risks other than finding the right distraction. He needed to appease the thundering in his chest. He had to cool down the raging fire. Lucas grabbed his phone. Without thinking twice, he called Velia. Lucas's call was answered quickly. If one were to count, it probably took only two seconds. “Hello, Luc.” Lucas closed his eyes. Velia's gentle voice was like an oasis for t

35. Useless

There was a car parked not far from the Greatech gate that afternoon. The driver, wearing sunglasses, sat alone inside. There were no passengers, only himself. The man's eyes stared at the rearview mirror, which had been positioned to directly face the office gate. He gazed intently, wanting to make sure who entered and exited from there. A vibration in his jacket pocket interrupted his surveillance. He picked up his phone and was not surprised to see who was calling. “Hello, Sir.” “Boy.” The greeting came from the other side. His voice conveyed impatience. “Are you in position now?” It was Boy, the man assigned by Ricardo, who was currently waiting to spy on Velia, just as instructed. “I've been here for half an hour already, Sir,” Boy replied calmly. His gaze remained focused. “You don't need to worry. This isn't the first time you've used my services. Velia won't escape.” “Of course, and that's why I entrusted this task to you. Just to make things easier for you, today Veli

36. Wish

Boy acted quickly. He immediately started the car and drove it. He did not know the exact location of Velia's family's house, but at least he would try to find it. The neighborhood where Velia used to live was in a narrow area. It would not be difficult for Boy to find Velia. That should have been the case, but what happened did not match his expectations. Boy spent almost an hour searching the area. He even waited in front of an alley. Boy should have been able to see Velia's arrival since she usually used public transportation. Could she be hanging out with her friends? That possibility could happen, although Boy still remembered Mecca's return earlier. But there was no harm in trying. Boy waited again. He was patient, but his phone rang impatiently. “Hello, Mr. Bell,” Boy answered the call. “I'm sorry, but I lost Velia.” * Uncontrollable anger surged within Ricardo upon hearing the news from Boy. He slammed the table and asked to confirm. “W-What did you say, Boy? You lost

37. Realized

A naked woman wriggled as her sleep was disturbed. It was caused by a middle-aged man who woke up beside her. He was Ricardo. He had no other choice but to hire the services of a sex worker to satisfy his desires that night. Ricardo turned his head. His sweaty face grinned. His hand reached out and repeatedly patted the woman's buttocks. The woman moaned. Her face lifted from the pillow. She displayed a seductive expression while teasing Ricardo. Her bright red lipstick-covered lips smiled mischievously. “Again, Daddy? There's a discount if you choose the all-night option.” Ricardo's grin widened. He leaned down and playfully nibbled on her buttocks. “What's your name?” Ricardo asked to confirm his memory. “Angel?” Angel nodded. “Yes, Daddy. Angel. Your angel who's ready to accompany you all night long. There was a reason why Ricardo chose Angel among the many women offered. It was undoubtedly related to Velia. The name Angel reminded him of Velia Angelica Howell. Of course, V

38. Slowly

Velia furrowed her brow as Lucas passed through the kitchen door. It was his neat appearance that caught her attention. The reason intrigued her enough to momentarily pause her activities. There was a freshly baked whole wheat bread waiting for Velia's touch. A sunny-side-up egg lingered in the air, seemingly reluctant to leave the skillet. Lucas smiled faintly upon meeting Velia's gaze. He walked past the table and kitchen island, approaching Velia in front of the stove. Lucas's embrace greeted Velia's waist, accompanied by a fleeting kiss he planted happily on her forehead. Velia blinked. Lucas stepped back to give Velia a chance to prepare breakfast. “You look sharp,” Velia commented as she placed Lucas's breakfast plate. “Do you have plans?” Lucas picked up the plate with a tempting portion of filled bread. He nodded. “On a Saturday morning?” Lucas, who initially wanted to dive right into his breakfast, paused his movements. His hand lowered and landed on the table. A hint

39. Promise

Boy closed the bottle of mineral water he had been drinking, then threw it onto the passenger seat while keeping his gaze focused. His eyes were directed and unblinking as he observed each face entering the Greatech building that morning. According to the plan, Boy was already in position on Monday morning. He wanted to confirm the truth behind a nagging suspicion. Boy waited calmly and patiently. However, he did not see Velia's arrival until the office gate became deserted. The answer was obtained. Boy grinned meaningfully and accelerated the car. This might be a little challenging, but that's okay. The harder the job, the bigger the payoff. I just need to find a loophole. She won't be under surveillance forever. * Velia and Mecca had just finished enjoying their lunch when they heard a ringing sound. It came from Velia's phone. The name displayed on the screen prompted her to answer immediately. Mecca remained silent but listened to the brief conversation that took place. When

40. Make A Stand

Velia ran. She hurried when the clock struck seven, but she could not anticipate the unexpected traffic jam that made her late to the apartment. The elevator seemed to move slower than usual. Velia panicked, with all the worst possibilities spinning in her mind. Is Lucas looking for me? Velia checked her phone. Strangely, there were no messages or calls from Lucas. Not like before when he would always inquire about her whereabouts. Her anxiety escalated. Velia could not calm down and immediately rushed out when the elevator door opened. With trembling hands, Velia entered the password. She quickly entered and spontaneously called out Lucas' name. “Luc?” There was no response for Velia to hear. She rushed to the workspace, but it was empty. There were no signs of Lucas being there. Now Velia headed to the bedroom, but it was the same. The room was silent. “Lucas hasn't come home yet?” The oddity followed Velia. As she placed her bag and shoes in their respective places, an une
