"Honey, do you want another drink?"
Enrico smiles, but his hands prevent the woman from pouring wine into his glass. "No, thank you. I think I've had too much to drink tonight."
Jang Nara looks happy. She said, "look, Enrico. Isn't she very attentive? I'm not wrong to set you up with Eve."
Eve's face flushed. Smiling sweetly at her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, you praised me too much."
"You're right, honey. Enrico is lucky to be married to a woman like Eve," Jeffery said while holding his wife's hand. Then his gaze turned to his eldest son. He said, "isn't that right, son?"
"Yes. That's right, Dad."
Eve held Enrico's finger and leaned over the man's shoulder in front of their parents.
"Eve ... your smile is so bright today. Are you happy with your marriage, baby?" This time Eve's mother spoke. She was thrilled to see her daughter look happy.
Eve said, "of course, Mom. There's nothing happier than that. I'm the luckiest woman."
They dissolve in a joyous atmosphere. After Eveline and Enrico's wedding, in the evening the two families had dinner at the hotel where they celebrated their wedding and stayed. Not long after, Nara turned to the door when she found her second son walking towards them holding a woman's hand.
"Mom, I'm sorry I'm late." Andres kisses his mother on the cheek briefly and smiles politely at his father.
"You brought someone with you?" Ask Jeffery as soon as he sees someone else behind Andres's back.
Enrico seemed calm without turning his back on his brother even though everyone was excited because Andres didn't come alone. The man drank the rest of the wine in his glass in silence.
"Good night, Mr. Leonard. Nice to meet you."
Enrico almost choked on his drink as soon as he heard the graceful sound that was so familiar in his ears. He thought it might be his hallucinations because he missed the owner of the voice.
Ah, Enrico can't wait to spend his wedding night with the woman he loves so much. He doesn't care about Eve at all. They got married just because of a business matchup. It's up to the woman to spend her night where and with whom, which is clear Enrico doesn't want to have to sleep one bed with her.
The man immediately turned. Just to make sure that the one who came with Andres wasn't his woman.
PRANGG!!
The glass held by Enrico falls instantly when he finds the owner of the voice is the woman he knows very well. Enrico's face turned pale. Shocked and didn't expect this situation to happen.
Mr. Leonard whom Naomi called was not him. It's Jeffery, Enrico and Andres' father.
"Enrico, what's wrong? You drop your glass like that," his mother asked.
Enrico gasped. He immediately restored his facial expression to its original state. "It's okay, Mom. I think my hands are slippery."
His mother nodded quietly. Then she called the servant to clean up the broken glass.
Andres pulls up a chair next to Eve and allows Naomi to sit down. "Thank you," Naomi said.
Nara looks back at Naomi. She asked, "what's your name?"
The woman smiled politely and replied, "My name is Naomi Lee, Mrs. Leonard."
Naomi remains calm, even though the man sitting next to Eve was clenching his fist with a stare as if he wanted to skin her right now.
Naomi turned to the side, looking back at those sharp eyes. She said, "Mr. Leonard, Miss Song, congratulations on your marriage. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to prepare a gift for you."
Andres embraces Naomi's shoulders, channeling strength for her. He understands it's not easy for the woman to be in such a sad situation. While Enrico felt his emotions rise to the fore when he saw the hand land on the shoulder of his Naomi, his woman, his love!
Eve smiled sweetly and said, "it's okay, your presence with Andres is the most important. You know, Andres is one part of my husband's family."
'My husband.'
Hearing that word, Naomi felt her chest tight. She smiled bitterly, wasn't that the position Enrico promised her one year ago? The position that Eve currently has.
Eve's father only noticed their interactions without a single voice. Of course, he knows who the woman Andres brought.
She is Naomi Lee, Lover of Enrico Leonard. Who is now officially his son-in-law?
Is she now in a relationship with Enrico's younger brother?
"Honey, are you okay? Shall we just go home?" Andres rubbed Naomi's shoulder.
Then his gaze turned to the people he currently has a table with. He said, "I'm sorry, Naomi's not well. But I still persuaded her to accompany me tonight," he said with a contrite face.
Naomi turned to Andres. Wiping Andres' hands gently holding her hand. "I'm fine."
Enrico saw it because Naomi's hand was on the table. His face hardened, not accepting Naomi was touched by a man other than himself.
"Looks like I should go to the toilet." Naomi shifted her chair and moved on from there.
The toilet is very quiet and empty because the hotel restaurant has been booked by Jeffery for privacy reasons.
The woman stood in front of a large mirror. Her hands rested on the sink. She ducked down, tears could no longer be held. Her shoulders shook, Naomi hitting her chest which felt very tight. Enrico lies to her and still marries the woman.
Why does it hurt more than when she was dumped by Liam? Looks like Enrico's name stuck in her heart too deeply. Naomi wiped away her tears. She must not look weak, especially in the presence of Enrico.
She must finish dinner soon, then return to Enrico's Penthouse to pack her belongings and leave the country. Naomi looked back as the toilet door opened. The woman gasped when she saw Enrico standing there with an angry face.
The man closed the door and locked it. He had previously put a 'toilet is broken' sign on the door handle, so no one caught them.
Enrico steps forward slowly with a creepy aura.
Naomi said, "don't come any closer, or I'll scream!"
Naomi begins to panic when the man doesn't care about her threats and stays close to her.
"Why are you here, baby? Why are you with Andres? Since when do you know each other?!"
Enrico shook Naomi's shoulder with an angry face. Naomi mustered her courage, then violently removed Enrico's hand over her shoulder.
The woman raised her index finger right in front of Enrico's face and said, "none of it is your business at all!"
Enrico grabbed Naomi's hand in front of his face and grabbed her. He said, "of course everything about you is my business."
Enrico landed his lips on Naomi's lips. The woman rebelled as the kiss got wilder and rougher.
"You're just mine, Naomi. Not Andres, or any man in the world!" Enrico said while wiping Naomi's lips after releasing their kiss.
Naomi's tears were back wetting her cheeks. If Naomi used to be happy every time Enrico kissed her and uttered that possessive phrase, this time it sounded very sickening.
Crap!
Naomi pulls her rough hands from Enrico. She wiped away his tears, and said, "in your dreams, motherfucker! You're a married man now. Just take care of your favorite wife," said Naomi, who was angry at Enrico's insolent attitude to her.
She said again, "Remember one thing. I'm not your mistress, Enrico Leonard! I'm no longer yours when you say the wedding vows with Eve."
As she was about to reach the door, she turned around and found Enrico combing his hair by hand. His face looks frustrated, but not the slightest bit makes Naomi compassionate.
"Once again, congratulations on your marriage."

Ga Eun arrives in front of her eternal enemy, Naomi. "You bitch! How dare you come here and mess around here," Ga Eun said then grabbed the coffee on the tray her assistant had brought and splashed it on Naomi's shirt. Naomi reflexively stood up while wiping the front of her shirt which was wet with coffee due to Ga Eun's actions. Naomi's gaze turned cold. "You've exhausted my stock of patience, Ga Eun." "You're the one causing trouble here, Naomi!" Lee Jong In already raised his palm, about to throw a slap at Naomi. Then, someone came along in the midst of the increasingly heated situation. "Looks like I just missed a show." Lee Jong In's hand stopped in midair and everyone turned their heads towards the door in unison. Enrico enters the room in a gray suit with Lou behind him who appears to be carrying a briefcase with a pile of files. Ga Eun suddenly turned around while swallowing hard saliva. Unlucky! Her spontaneou
Naomi straightened her formal clothes for a moment before finally getting out of the car. She walked with a pounding heart rhythm because it was undeniable that it took great strength to attend today's board of directors meeting. It will never be easy to face Lee Jong In alone even though the old man is her own father. So that's why she was desperate to make a deal with Enrico Leonard to be his sex partner because only Enrico can help her face her father. Armed with a file detailing the data of the people who entered the board of directors of shareholders that she got from Enrico, Naomi was able to enter the office building without having to be evicted at the entrance. "Tsk! This must be Ga Eun's doing," she mumbled softly as he entered the elevator with the two bodyguards Enrico ordered to guard her while the man hadn't arrived. Naomi was absolutely sure, her name was on the blacklist of the security team at the entrance on Lee Ga Eun's orders. She m
Naomi is finally back in Enrico's luxury penthouse in Hannam-Dong. She only brought one suitcase containing only important items, which was currently being carried by one of the bodyguards who had come to pick her up. Her footsteps suddenly stopped when she saw the man suddenly stop, for a moment Enrico's eyes swept around and then looked back, at Lou who now seemed to have stopped and stood obediently behind them. "Have you prepared the bedroom yet?" he asked his assistant. Lou bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, My Lord. The Walk-In Closet has also been rearranged and added clothes and all the necessities for Miss Lee." "Good." "E-Enrico, you don't have to ..." Naomi was about to speak but the man seemed reluctant to listen. The man again continued his steps until he entered the super-majestic bedroom that would be occupied by the two of them. When he turned around again, the woman was already standing behind him with an uncom
-IN REVISION STAGE- Please don't open this chapter until revision's complete. Thank you :)Enrico was on his way to the mall where Naomi was shopping as soon as it was five in the afternoon. His work hours were over, his work in the office was almost done, some of which he had brought to work later after the launch party was over.A few hours after Naomi called, Lou suddenly called her, then reported that Naomi was involved in an argument at her jewelry store with Lee Ga Eun.Lou even recorded and sent the video to him. He even had time to hear in the argument Naomi said that she would ask her man to come.Enrico didn't know why, but it seemed to trigger him. He got up from his seat, then grabbed his coat draped on the back of the chair and packed his things.When he reached the lobby, he remembered something and called Lou."Make sure there are no visitors other than Naomi and Lee Ga Eun in the shop. Either way, kick them out and close the
-IN REVISION STAGE- Please don't open this chapter until revision's complete. Thank you :)Naomi smirked slightly when she saw the store manager talking on a pillar a few meters away from the shop entrance, appearing to be talking to someone. Even though Naomi couldn't see his face, she knew that it was Lou who was talking to the manager.Lou seemed to have cleared up the customers when he heard he was going to ask Enrico to come. Even though they are just partners in bed, they are not really in a romantic relationship, things will be complicated if the public finds out about their togetherness.Ga Eun also didn't seem to notice, seeing her face that looked shocked when she saw that the surroundings were empty. It seemed that he was too curious to be busy hearing Naomi calling his man, making him unaware that the manager and shop assistant had closed the jewelry shop."Tell me, in whose name is the black card?!" Ga Eun impatiently aske
-REVISION STAGE-It seems that Ga Eun doesn't care about it all. He provokes Naomi even more, Ga Eun always wants to humiliate Naomi wherever they meet."Oh, I heard that you are a rich man's mistress. No wonder you can shop for all kinds of branded things." Ga Eun flashed her devilish smile. Then, he looked around, at the customers who came to the shop, it was getting busier in the afternoon. "Don't you know her? She's Naomi Lee, our proud figure skating athlete. Don't you know that this woman has an affair with one of her club sponsors?"This time, Ga Eun managed to provoke him. Unlucky! People are now starting to whisper about it.He looked at the waiter behind the display case with an angry face. "Do you want to take care of the transaction or not? I can look at another store.""Okay, miss. I'll-"Ga Eun quickly interrupted. "Hey! I told you I'd buy it. Don't you know who I am? I'm closely related to Enrico Le
-REVISION STAGE-Ga Eun is shopping to beautify her appearance at tonight's party. As his father ordered, he had to get Enrico's attention and pull him to his bed.He was sure that Enrico was actually just holding back for the sake of his ego as a high-class man who shouldn't be too easily swayed by women.While walking around, his gaze stopped at a jewelry store with a sign with a famous Korean brand on it.Ah, doesn't that brand belong to the jewelry company of Enrico's late grandfather who will be throwing his newest product launch party tonight? Holding a luxurious party because the product launched this time in collaboration with an international fashion brand from Italy.Yes, Enrico is indeed a very great businessman. So naturally, apart from saving their company from falling into Enrico's hands, his father was so obsessed with making him his son-in-law, because his work in the business world could not be underestimated.
-Revision stage-It seems that Naomi used Enrico's black card well, as seen from the many shopping bags with various well-known brands that Lou brought, so the bald-headed man looked so overwhelmed.Naomi stopped walking then, Lou behind her reflexively stopped his steps."I told you, I can do it myself. Look, you're in so much trouble."Naomi continued to grumble. He doesn't like company, it's awkward. But Lou insists on accompanying him, because Enrico has given orders for him to accompany and look after Naomi while shopping.At first she did not intend to spend a lot, because she is not the type of woman who likes to shop and she will only buy what she needs. But instead of making Lou give up because he was tired and bored from being invited to go around the mall for hours, the man instead recommended various shops so that Naomi would shop more. In fact, Naomi herself was tired after a long day of shopping and going through every s
