We reached the parking lot of our condo building, and it's a good thing I was able to stop my tears and pretend like nothing happened. We headed to the lobby, then the elevator, until we reached our place, and he never dared to speak a word. Should I thank him that he chose to be silent and not pester me? Though I could feel that he was watching my every move, I hoped he would not bring up the dinner again. I was embarrassed about it and couldn't afford to talk about it without breaking

    “H-How did you know we met yesterday?” I asked him slowly, unable to hide my shock. His jaw tightened dangerously.“I hired a bodyguard to secretly follow youHe reports everything to me.” he confessed coldly. My eyes widened.“Did you honestly think I didn’t know you were with him yesterday too? That’s the reason you came home late last night, right? Is he the reason why you're cold towards me these past few days huh?” he asked bitterly.For several seconds, I could not even process what I had just heard.“You… You had someone following me without my knowledge? You spied on me without my knowledge?! For what?!” I exclaimed in disbelief as anger quickly surged through me“Don’t change the subject. I already told you before that I hired security for your safety.” he snapped sharply.“Why was he meeting you? Does he want you back?” he demanded as his furious eyes darkened further.“What are you even

    That was all we talked about afterward. Eventually, we both decided it was time to leave. Before parting ways, Kyle suddenly pulled me into a warm, tight hug. And without hesitation, I hugged him back.There was nothing malicious or romantic about it. It was simply the embrace of two old friends who had once meant so much to each other.But before I could even pull away from him properly, everything suddenly happened so fast. Someone violently grabbed Kyle from behind and forcefully pulled him away from me. Then a hard punch landed directly on Kyle's jaw.I screamed in shock as chaos instantly erupted around us. My heart nearly stopped when I turned and saw who attacked him. It was Zeke! His face was filled with pure fury.Before I could even process what was happening, Zeke lunged at Kyle again and began punching him mercilessly. Two of his bodyguards quickly restrained Kyle, making it impossible for him to fight back while Zeke continued hitting him.

    "At first, he was really mean to me. He even blamed me for Jake's death." I confessed quietly as memories of those difficult days slowly resurfaced in my mind."At that time, I had no idea what was going on. I was only trying my best to pretend to be Alexa because I had no choice. I just went along with everything for my family's sake but eventually, he became suspicious of me and had me investigated." Kyle's expression immediately hardened with concern."What did he do after finding out the truth? Did he hurt you?" he asked seriously. I slowly shook my head.There was genuine worry in his eyes, and somehow, seeing that affected me more than I expected. It comforted me to realize that despite everything that happened between us before, Kyle still cared about me."No. Actually, his attitude toward me changed after that. Instead of exposing the deception my family and I committed, he chose to accept everything. Ever since then, he's been good to me."

    "Just a little while," he replied simply.There was an awkwardness between us at first, so we decided to order our food before talking about anything serious. Honestly, it worked out well for me because I had not eaten breakfast earlier that morning.Aside from waking up late, Mommy's unexpected call had completely ruined my appetite. At my request, we ate first before discussing anything. I subtly mentioned that I had skipped breakfast, and Kyle seemed to understand immediately. He quietly allowed me to eat in peace and did not bring up the topic we both knew we would eventually have to discuss.The silence between us was calm, but it carried an unspoken heaviness. And when we finally finished eating, I was the first one to break it."My parents already know that you're back in the country," I began carefully.The moment I said that, I noticed a slight tension appear on Kyle's face. Unable to hold his gaze for long, I instinctively looked away.

    Because of our fight the night before, Zeke left for the office early the next morning without even taking breakfast. The silence he left behind inside the house felt unusually heavy.It was obvious he was still upset with me. Honestly, I could not blame him. Even after he left, the tension from our argument still lingered in my chest, making it difficult for me to focus properly. But instead of dwelling on it, I tried to continue with my usual routine for the day.I planned to finish the painting I had been working on for days and later call Sybil to check how things were going at the gallery. I thought immersing myself in work would help distract me from the uncomfortable thoughts clouding my mind but before I could even begin painting, my phone suddenly rang. It was my Mom so I answered immediately."Andra darling, the investigators your father hired reported that Kyle is in the country," she announced without preamble.Her voice carried both surprise

    I didn’t even think about the fact that he was right behind me. Not until I felt his presence closer than before. I paused for a fraction of a second. By then, I had already taken off my bra. The fabric was gone, leaving my skin exposed to the cool air. I was only wearing my thong, my back partially turned to him. I didn’t need to look to know he was watching.But I did anyway, just for a moment. And I saw it. The way his eyes lingered on me. The way they darkened slightly. The unmistakable flicker of desire that passed through them. It caught me off guard, even though it shouldn’t have.He had seen me like this countless times before because we had been so intimate so many times and even had sex multiple times. There was nothing new about it. So why did it feel different now?I forced myself not to react. There was no point in acting shy, no reason to pretend. Instead, I simply turned my back fully to him and faced the closet, pretending to search through my cl

    While in my room, I took the opportunity to call my staff at the gallery and gave them instructions on what to do while I was away. I decided to call my most trusted friend, Sybil, to look after the business and handle the important matters at the gallery. Sybil used to be my roommate in France, and

    "Take this." My eyes automatically scanned the cards and the car key that my husband had placed on the coffee table."Use these credit cards for shopping and buying all the things you need. This is the key to my other car, and I’ll let you use it until the car I asked my secretary to buy for you has

    "What about you? I'm sure you have your own reasons why you agreed to this marriage?" With the kind of personality I saw in him, he wasn't the type of person who would easily agree to an arranged marriage just to please his parents."You were right. It just so happens that this marriage is my grand

    "May I ask where we're going?" I couldn't help but ask as we sat in the car, while he was behind the wheel, driving. I was confused. The wedding reception venue was only ten minutes away from the airport, yet he had been driving for half an hour. It was around midnight when the wedding party ended.
