The atmosphere in the Wilson Group's main lobby this morning was different from usual. The employees passed by with serious faces, but some of them were stunned to see a graceful-looking woman in a formal suit and a familiar face. Rebecca strode calmly with a folder in hand. Today was her first day back at Samuel's company. Her status as the CEO's wife was still a secret, as per Samuel's request. "Rebecca?" a voice called out to her. Rebecca turned her head and smiled widely. "Katie?" A woman with short hair ran over and immediately hugged Rebecca tightly. "Oh my god, I thought I saw it wrong. It's true, you're Rebecca. Where have you been for the past five years?" Rebecca laughed softly. "I went to China, I had a job there." "Oh it's only appropriate that I never heard from you. Oh, by the way, do you work here again? In what division?" asked Katie exci
The rich aroma of chicken broth filled the spacious kitchen of the luxury apartment. Rebecca stood by the stove, stirring a creamy homemade chicken soup—Samuel’s favorite. Her hands moved with ease and familiarity. Every now and then, she’d taste the broth and add a dash of pepper. One of the housemaids walked by and smiled wide when she saw Rebecca. “Ma’am, it feels like I’m dreaming, seeing you here cooking the Master’s favorite soup.” Rebecca turned and let out a soft chuckle. “Don’t call me Ma’am. I’m not your master’s wife. Just call me Rebecca.” “Oh, but you’ll always be Mr. Samuel’s wife to us,” another maid chimed in, walking in with a basket of vegetables. “Five years ago, Mr. Samuel kept asking us to cook the dishes you used to make, Miss Rebecca. But none of us could get it right,” the older maid added. “He even got mad when we tried using rec
Bani's footsteps sounded hurried down the stairs of the luxury apartment. He was breathing hard. He opened the car door with shaking hands, then started the engine and drove off."This is bad... If Mr. Samuel keeps this up, it could worsen his condition," Bani muttered as he gripped the steering wheel tightly.A few minutes later, Bani was standing in front of Rebecca's apartment door. The man pressed the bell repeatedly.Not long after, the door was opened by Rebecca herself. She was surprised by Bani's arrival."Bani's assistant?" She said quickly. "Why are you here? In the middle of the night?""Please, Mrs. Rebecca... Mr. Samuel needs you," Bani's voice sounded heavy.Rebecca frowned. "What do you mean, what's wrong with Samuel?""Mr. Samuel is very drunk, Mrs. He's almost finished three bottles of wine. He keeps talking about you... keeps mentioning your name," Bani explained, the man's breathing becoming irregular. "I'm afraid something will happen... Please come with me. Now."
Chapter 36 - You've gone too far, Nora!The apartment door opened loudly. Samuel entered with quick steps, his breathing was heavy, his clothes were still damp and his body was trembling not because of the cold, but because of the anger he had been holding in.Nora was sitting on the sofa. As soon as she saw Samuel enter, her face brightened. She smiled at Samuel."Samuel! You're finally home. I was so worried."Samuel didn't answer. The man's gaze was so intense."What's wrong, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?" Nora asked, getting up and approaching Samuel. "Wait, why are your clothes wet? What happened to you?"PLAK!A hard slap landed on Nora's right cheek. "Shut up, Nora," Samuel said softly. Nora froze instantly."Stop pretending to care. I already know everything.""W-what do you mean?" asked Nora nervously."Why did you poison me, Nora? WHY?!" snapped Samuel, his eyes widening. "Why did you have to mix stimulants into my drink?!"Nora's face immedia
Rebecca took a slow breath. Her body was still soaking wet, hair sticking to her cheeks. She looked deeply at Samuel, trying to contain all the feelings she had buried."So... you're going to keep quiet about what you feel?" he asked softly.Rebecca still did not answer. She just stared intently, her lips pressed tightly together."Tell me, Rebecca!" Samuel continued to urge Rebecca.Rebecca sighed softly, then whispered, "Liam is... Reno's daddy, Mr. Samuel."Samuel stiffened. "What did you say?""For five years, Liam was by my side. When you went back to Nora. Announcing to the whole world that she was your wife. Doctor Liam who has always given me warmth in these five years. When I had sex with him, I didn't want to stop. I wanted to continue having my body touched by him," Rebecca said without pause, her voice trembling."ENOUGH!" snapped Samuel."Why, don't you want to know how my relationship with Doctor Liam is going?" Rebecca smiled sarcastically."And you're in love with him?
Hurried footsteps echoed in the basement parking lot. Bani, Samuel's personal assistant, almost fell over when he found his master lying on the cold floor, sweat soaking the man's body, Samuel's face looking deathly pale."Mr. Samuel? Oh my, sir!" Bani immediately crouched down, gently shaking Samuel's shoulders.Samuel squirmed softly, his lips twitching. "Rebecca, my wife, help me."Bani was wide-eyed. He immediately knew something was wrong. He touched Samuel's forehead, and it felt hot. Samuel was breathing heavily, his gaze blank. Quickly, Bani pulled his master towards the car."Hang in there, sir. I'll take you to a safe place," he said as he carried Samuel's body into his black car.Instead of taking his master to the hospital, Bani detoured to Rebecca's small apartment.30 Minutes Later - Rebecca's ApartmentKnock! Knock! Knock!A loud knock on the door made Rebecca get up from the sofa. She peeked through the door, surprised to see Assistant Bani's panicked face."Rebecca...
