One month later.

The news of the Agriche family scandal was still loudly discussed by every social circle. The media continued to fry it, causing a lot of speculation. Blasphemy has been directed at Alden and Emberly. The two of them are the ones who get the most impact. Because of the despicable acts committed, their image has been completely tarnished.

Emberly, who knew about it, hid herself for a while. After a month later, she appeared at her campus again. She thought all the news had been buried for the past few weeks.

"Karina!" Emberly called out to the familiar person and walked over to them.

Her step was confident, as if the scandal that brought her name down had never happened. She showed no signs of self-reflection or even embarrassment. Her face was still as arrogant as the Emberly Agriche that everyone knew.

Karina, who was with some friends, changed their expressions right after Emberly's arrival. The atmosphere, which was initially very cheerful and friendly

    Maverick stood in his office, lost in thought as he gazed out the large window that offered a view of the city and its skyscrapers. His body had arrived at the office a few minutes earlier, but his mind was still elsewhere. More precisely, it was on someone who had been occupying his thoughts for some time now—Victoria. At first, he thought it was just a fleeting feeling because they lived together and often met, and it would fade over time after they parted ways. He never imagined that he could fall for her. This time, he couldn’t deny that Victoria could replace his ex-girlfriend and first love. However, there was one thing that bothered him to this day. Despite all his efforts, Victoria seemed unmoved and even tended to avoid him. It was impossible for her not to notice his obvious feelings. Unless she was deliberately avoiding him. And the only reason that came to mind was that Victoria didn't like him.“Impossible.” When that thought crossed his mind, Maverick chuckled and shoo

    Maverick stared intently at the sleeping face before him. He watched every feature—the eyes, eyebrows, nose, and lips- which once again sparked an irrational desire, much like how he had always acted when it came to her. He wanted to kiss her, hold her, and possess her, but aware of his condition, that desire was easier to control. Suddenly, the closed eyes moved as if signaling the woman was about to wake up. Before the eyes opened, Maverick naturally closed his eyes again, refusing to be caught watching his wife sleep. So all he could hear was her breath before she finally yawned. He then felt her hand touching his forehead. “Hmm… I think he doesn’t have a fever. Thank goodness.” Her voice murmured, but it was still audible in the quiet room. Maverick guessed that she must have checked his body temperature by comparing it to hers. He wanted to smile, so his eyes opened, and he immediately looked at his wife. “Good morning.” “You’re awake? How do you feel? Is your body more comfor

    "I didn't ask her to come home right away and keep me company," Maverick murmured after Victoria ended the call. He continued, "I just want her to worry about me more, like she did this morning." "Excuse me, isn't that better, Sir?" Jaxton interjected, diverting his attention. Maverick looked at his secretary, who had already instructed him to call Victoria and inform her of his condition. He had only hoped that Victoria would be more concerned about his condition and care for him. However, the outcome exceeded his expectations. She wanted to accompany him from now on, which meant more time together. “Aren’t you going to go home soon?” Jaxton asked, snapping him out of his reverie. “Yes, that’s right. I have to go home.” Maverick stood up from his chair and took his car keys. But before leaving, he turned to his secretary and threw the car keys at him. “Take me home.”“Pardon?” Jaxton frowned. “You’re the one who told her to persuade me to go home. So, you have to take me. I'm a

    At the office, Alden, who was in the middle of his work, heard his phone ringing continuously. Whether it was a message or a call, he already knew who the intruder was without even looking at it. Lately, he deliberately avoided Emberly because he felt she was wasting his time. Even though the woman was pregnant with his child, Alden thought trying to build a connection with the Agriche family wouldn't work. So, he changed his strategy to approach Victoria, whom he thought would be difficult. Unexpectedly, she welcomed him. However, for some reason, she had become so hard to get close to lately. The sound of his phone ringing again for the umpteenth time finally annoyed Alden. He picked it up and answered bluntly, “Emberly, don’t you realize what time it is? I’m working!” “Hello, Sir Benedict?” The man's voice replied on the other end of the line, causing Alden to stare at his phone screen.The voice spoke again, “I’m sorry if I disturbed you.” “No, I thought you were that woman.

    “Good morning, Tori.” “Good morn-” Victoria stopped and gasped when she saw Maverick’s face, which didn’t look very well this morning. “Verick, what’s wrong with your face? Didn’t you sleep?” There were faint dark circles under his eyes. His eyes looked tired and unfocused. His skin was paler than usual. His nose was red, as if congested. And she noticed his voice sounded hoarse. She looked at her husband with concern, wondering how hard he had worked the night before to end up in such a state. “I thought you were sleeping in your room but working instead. Didn’t you notice your condition?” Victoria approached him and touched his skin, which was quite cold. "I sleep with you, but I guess that's a bad idea." Maverick's answer made Victoria furrow. "What?" "Nothing," he said briefly as he looked away, avoiding her gaze. Victoria wanted to ask more questions, but seeing his condition made her feel bad for him. Instead, she scolded him for making breakfast in his condition. "Why are

    "Hello, Father? Why are you calling me so late at night?" Victoria wondered, surprised to receive an unusual call from her father at this hour. "Have you had dinner yet?" Petter asked, which only made Victoria's eyebrows furrow even more. "Yes, I have." She replied and asked back, "Is there any work-related matter you want to discuss with me?" “Tori, are you my secretary? Even my secretary doesn’t ask questions as directly as you do.” Petter sounded annoyed, as if he wasn’t happy. Victoria grimaced slightly, muttering, ‘You’re treating me like a subordinate who has to obey, not like a daughter.’ She didn’t say it outright. She changed the question to what was on her mind, “So, are you just curious about how I’m doing?” Petter didn’t respond for a while, so Victoria looked at her phone screen, thinking the call had been disconnected. But it hadn’t. She guessed her father had stepped away or was doing something else. She replied, “I’m fine.” "Yesterday, Maverick and I went to Ange
