The incessant flashes of cameras illuminates the scene around them, creating a surreal ambiance. However, she can't bring herself to meet Marquis's intense gaze; he is staring at her with a depth that seems to reach into her very soul.This isn't a contrived stare; the touch around her waist feels genuine and unforced. Oryx senses the sincerity in Marquis's recent actions towards her. It leaves her unsettled, introducing a layer of complexity to her carefully laid-out plan.The cameraman chuckles, his laughter blending with the distant hum of camera shutters. "That's so graceful to watch. Look at Ms. Turner. She is blushing red!"Oryx, enveloped in a sudden spotlight of attention, doesn't utter a word. Instead, she allows her head to dip slightly, her gaze finding refuge in the ground below. A shy smile plays on her lips, a silent acknowledgment of t

She resembles you

" I have to leave now. Mom is waiting for you in her car."A phone call, which appears as " Liliana" on his phone screen, makes Marquis leave Oryx's side as soon as possible. The moment he received the call, he acted as a perfect husband before the guest disappeared. Now, he is heading out without any better explanation. She had already realized, that the moments she had spent with him last two hours, were all fake to him but to her, it's her forever sweet memories." Mom!" Wearing a mask of a sweet smile, covering her deepest sadness, she moves to the car. The appointment with her mother-in-law is still available." My Sweetest!" Mrs. Williamson extends her hand, with genuine care for her, and she hugs Oryx. " You must have been worried about the party. I am sorry that I didn't push Marquis more to help you out!"" No. Mom. It's fine." She smiles bitterly. " It's not fine. I know that Marquis has been neglecting you. We aren't blind. Just we don't know what possibly we should do t

Delusional

Gallian's fingers tremble slightly as he reaches out, a futile attempt to grasp the elusive silhouette of Oryx lingering in his mind. The soft cadence of the curtain's dance with the wind mirrors the tumultuous rhythm of his emotions.He watches his hand, his yearning palpable, yet his touch unable to bridge the impassable distance separating him from Oryx. Her presence, an intangible force, eludes his grasp, leaving a hollow ache in his chest.Every flicker of the room's bulb casts fleeting shadows across his face, echoing the fleeting hope of seizing her heart.

A sudden attack

"Someone's toying with me, aren't they?" Oryx grasps the captivating princess dress that has initially caught her eye, glancing around to check if Marquis is nearby.Speaking over the phone, she hands the dress to an employee standing a short distance away."Seemingly. All the data on Liliana's social accounts has vanished. How has Liliana been acting lately?" Ben inquires while diligently attempting to recover information about certain clients."She hasn't made an appearance yet. Marquis's behavior is odd too as if he already knows that she is a damn bitch!" Oryx remarks, passing another dress to the employee."He's not oblivious. One of your guards mentioned she hasn't been visiting Maria lately. Maybe she's aware of the change in doctors," Ben informs."In that case, it's improbable for her to target Maria when my guards are present. But you mentioned someone else is supporting her. Who might that be?""No clue. I tried to breach the account that hacked into my computer, but I cou

Do you like me?

As Ben settles the chilled glass of water on the table, he turns to Gallian, who has just returned from the hospital after admitting Marquis. Twirling the straw, the clinking of ice echoes in the room. "What did the doctor say?""He's okay. The injury wasn't severe. Marquis shielded the strike with his hand, so that took a deeper cut, but it'll mend soon," Gallian replies, wondering how Ben knows about it."That's a relief. Hopefully, Oryx won't lose her composure over this," Ben remarks, taking a seat while noticing Gallian's troubled demeanor. "Is something else bothering you?"With a frustrated sigh, Gallian gulps down the cold water. "She's utterly fixated on him. He's shown no interest in her, doesn't want her, yet... I can't fathom why she persists. She seems content despite not having him!""Here, try some beer," Ben offers, sliding another glass toward him while reaching for a napkin to tidy up the table."Why is she so unperturbed witnessing him with another woman? He even pu

And, you know I love you

In the stillness of the night, Marquis's voice breaks through the quiet room as his assistant settles the laptop before him."Any updates on the assailant?" Marquis inquires, his eyes fixed on the screen, awaiting crucial information."Yes. It's a beggar residing near the Carton Bridge slum. The police have detained him. He claims he was offered ten thousand dollars to attack you," the assistant relays the latest developments."And who's behind this?" Marquis questions,a tinge of frustration lingering in his voice at the anonymity of the Mastermind."He insists he doesn't know. The cash was found in a box featuring your image next to his tent," the assistant continues, observing Marquis's contemplative expression.Marquis hums softly, thoughts swirling as he acknowledges the array of adversaries amassed during his rise as a prominent businessman. The exploitation of a vulnerable beggar troubles him deeply, considering it a cowardly move by whoever is responsible."Refrain from pressu

She woke up

"They are Heading home," Mr. Turner announces upon entering the study where Mrs. Turner, engrossed in a medical tome, glances up without surprise at her husband's arrival."Why do they bother returning? Merely to meddle in our lives?" she queries, shutting her book and calmly observing her husband's descent into his chair."It's possible. Perhaps they've heard of Oryx's marriage!""Tsk. They'll likely put on a show of being model grandparents. Their words and actions hold weight, while our opinions are mere echoes," Mrs. Turner scoffs."Please, don't be upset. After four years, it's good that they're returning, healthy and well," he implores, sensing his wife's disdain toward her own parents, the Woodson family—a name unwelcome on her roster of acquaintances."But what if they inquire about Oryx's marriage? We're not in a position to present it as flawless before them!" Mr. Turner frets, considering the looming dilemma."Appear in front of them? Oryx despises them more than she does u

You know him...

The next morning, as the iPad sits on the table, his assistant settles onto the couch. Marquis's sharp gaze focuses on the information displayed. "She fabricated her family background. Quite audacious," he remarks."That's why I believe our team should take charge. She's adept at deceiving us. It seems someone well-acquainted with us is manipulating this situation," the assistant suggests."No, I disagree. Whoever's orchestrating this isn't familiar with us. If they were, they wouldn't have directly sent her to me. My hunch is they're trailing me but are inexperienced," Marquis's hand reaches his chin to rub, thinking something profound as the situation isn't as simple as it looks. Someone is playing a dirty game here."Dispatch our team to the family she concealed from us. Nothing extreme, but ensure we gather crucial information at any cost. She must be held accountable for harming my daughter," Marquis instructs firmly."Understood, Boss. Also, while searching through old files,

I regret

"Did you even consider the burden she's carrying, handling you all by herself? And you're just allowing her to bear it all? Are you out of your mind? Can't you see her struggling to keep everything from falling apart?"Mrs. Williamson snaps at her son, her voice laces with frustration, as she talks over the phone upon learning about her son being attacked."Mom!" Marquis sighs helplessly."You don't even acknowledge her as your wife. Why are you so self-absorbed? Juggling your daughter, dealing with your issues, and managing this exhausting marriage—do you think she's a machine? Stop making her life unbearable with your problems when you can't even appreciate her. She wasn't born to be enslaved by your expectations!""I think I admire her, Mom!"Mrs. Williamson, unable to contain the truth about Oryx's life, paused, trying to process what her son just admitted."What did you say?" Mrs. Williamson rises abruptly, demanding clarification."I believe I've found that resilient woman I alw
