Oliver approached me on his own and supported me as I seemed on the verge of collapsing due to weakness. "Are you okay?" he asked. I gave him a disdainful look. "Your question is pointless, just stay quiet." There was irritation in my voice. "Just concerned," he whispered, pouting. He fell silent, and I was seated at a nearby table. They didn't hear our earlier conversation as everyone resumed their activities when Alex's father appeared. I avoided looking at them, trying to hold back the tears welling up in the corners of my eyes. I casually wiped away my tears and quickly drank the wine in the cup. Meanwhile, Oliver intermittently glanced around. I was about to run out earlier, but Oliver and I had an agreement that I couldn't just walk out like in movies because we still had a mission to make his crush jealous. Fortunately, not everyone was interested in our conversation with Lavinia, and we weren't in the main hall, so some people remained oblivious to the commotion. "Oliver

I trembled as I took my cellphone from my bag and dialed a number. Gasping for breath, I hid in a corner on the same street leading to my apartment. When the number answered, it felt like a glimmer of hope! I didn't expect this to happen to me. I was just going to buy a gift for Mom! "D-d-dad." "What happened?! Are you okay?" "D-dad, help. Huhu." I've been running to escape them since earlier. If only I hadn't noticed those guys this morning, I don't know. "Someone hurt you?! Who?" I covered my ear because he was shouting. I was more concerned about my ear than those guys. "B-because someone's following me. Since this morning. They're like dogs! I'm tired of running. I look like I have a stalker!" Dad fell silent on the other line. I thought he hung up. "That's not my people, Isabella. I'm not desperate enough to assign someone to watch over you." "Huh? Whose people are they then--" Suddenly, someone came to mind. I touched my forehead. "Well, okay, Dad. Looks like I know who."

I couldn't help but glance at him while we were having dinner. He was sitting formally in front of me, while Mom was beside him, also eating but with her phone in hand, engrossed in another K-drama. Alex was almost done with his food, but he seemed hungry, so I stood up to get more rice and barbecue for him. I placed it in front of him, and he glanced at me before taking more food. Was he that hungry when he arrived? Good thing he didn't get lost or Oliver might have directed him here. I started washing the dishes. Mom went to her room, saying she'd finish watching her show. We were surprised because she cried while we were at the dining table. She got hooked on it because of Shena. She also enjoys watching those kinds of shows. I, on the other hand, prefer Hollywood movies. I brushed the strands of hair that fell on my face. I was soaping up, too lazy to tie it up properly. Each time I bent down, my hair covered my face. Annoyed, I washed my hands and was about to tie my hair when

I strolled for about five hours, and I hurriedly finished cleaning inside and outside the house. People started coming around seven in the evening, and I completed my tasks by eleven. I noticed Ate Sadie passing by, so I approached her. "Ate, did you contact Kuya Anton? Aren't they done there yet? Maybe they're on their way home, so I'll just wait for them here." "Anton? He came back a while ago. He just went home briefly." "Wh-what? What time did he come back here?" She thought for a moment and looked at me. "Around nine just now. He said he'd come back to pick me up." Anxiety hit me when I heard that. He had been there for five hours and hadn't come back yet. I felt a bad vibe about this. He should be fine since his men were with him, but why did I still feel uneasy? I decided to go out and check on him. Despite the crowd outside, I didn't mind walking at night. For some unknown reason, it felt like someone was watching my every move, but I shrugged it off and walked towards th

After he dropped off Isabella at her apartment, he told her to go to Hawaii for their first week under the contract. On the same night, he instructed some members of his security team to patrol while they were away, and his suspicion was correct: Lavinia was involved. The apartment where Isabella lived was on the verge of exploding. He knew that if that happened, the issue would quickly disappear, and public attention would focus again because that's the problem when a name becomes popular—they can easily manipulate the media. He prevented that from happening through the skilled agents he hired specifically for that area. Lavinia followed them even in Hawaii, and he tried to divert his attention to other things when Lavinia was around. But when he saw Isabella with that man—Michael, it felt like veins in his head were about to burst! How could she smile with that jerk? She should only be with him and no one else! He disregarded Lavinia's threat and accompanied Isabella during the
