Geraldine’s Point of View

My eyes lingered on the bowl of soup sitting on the table, then shifted toward Mike. I exhaled deeply, the weight of what I knew pressing down on me.

“How did you find out there was something in there?” I asked calmly. My voice was soft, but it drew everyone’s attention toward me. Their eyes filled with suspicion, as if I was already plotting something dangerous.

“G-Girlie… are you planning something?!” Sister Cooker’s voice trembled with disbelief.

I tilted my head toward her, feigning innocence. “Do you really think I’m planning something, Sister?”

She froze, staring into my eyes, searching for the truth. Silence fell between us, thick and heavy.

“We… we don’t know,” she whispered at last.

I lowered my gaze, then turned back to Mike. His sharp eyes never left me, watching me closely, as though he had already read my every thought.

“Master…”

Before I could react, he suddenly reached for the soup. In one swift motion, he lifted the bowl to his lips and drank

    Third Person’s Point of ViewMike was about to chase after Geraldine.He had just come from the garden, having stopped Justine before any destruction could even begin. Not a single rose had been touched yet. Still, the damage had already been done somewhere far deeper than the soil.His chest tightened painfully as the memory replayed in his mind. The way Geraldine had looked at him earlier. Empty. Detached. As if he were nothing more than a stranger standing in her way. And when she pulled her hand away from his grasp, the motion had been sharp, final, almost resentful.It struck him then that maybe, just maybe, he had made the wrong decision.The garden clearly meant something to his wife. He saw it now, far too late. The place where she found peace. The place where her thoughts softened. And he had threatened to erase it without hesitation.Manang’s voice suddenly echoed in his mind.A memory surfaced.Flashb

    Geraldine’s Point of ViewI froze where I stood, staring at Mike in disbelief. A sharp thought struck me all at once. Was he jealous because of Justine? That was ridiculous. Justine was innocent. She had done nothing wrong, and I would never allow anyone to bully or blame her for something she did not deserve.And honestly, the timing could not have been worse. I was already irritated with him after he had the nerve to call me stupid earlier. The word still echoed in my head, stinging more than it should have.“Why are you here?” he asked coldly.I immediately stood up and walked toward him, forcing myself to look composed. His face showed no emotion at all, but his eyes dropped to my hand. I realized too late that the bandage was visible. Instinctively, I hid my hand behind my back.“What happened to your hand?” he demanded. “And why was she holding your hand?”His gaze shifted, and I followed it. My heart sank when I saw the first aid kit nearby. He noticed it too. Damn it.He reach

    Geraldine’s Point of View – English VersionI was standing in the garden, breathing in the fresh scent of flowers. The place was beautiful, quiet, and fragrant enough to wipe away the stress I had been carrying since morning.My eyes drifted toward a rose in full bloom. It was stunning, the kind of beauty that could easily deceive anyone. A single touch and it could wound you without warning.Still, I reached for it. Not just touched it, but let one of the thorns pierce through my skin. A sting, a prick, then a thin line of blood slowly appeared.I sighed while staring at the wound. It did not hurt. I had grown used to far worse.“Madame!”I looked up and saw a man running toward me. Judging from his uniform, he was the gardener, and he carried a small planting tool with him.“Madame, your hand. It is bleeding. I will get the first aid kit.”As he stepped closer, a familiar scent drifted into the air. I knew tha

    Geraldine’s Point of View – English VersionI held my shoulder while I stretched on the balcony, trying to ease the soreness from yesterday’s workout. Inside the room, I could hear the shower running. He was still bathing.“Wow, same position until morning? No wonder my body feels like this. My shoulder hurts so much.”Maybe yesterday’s exercise really got back at me.I peeked down at the garden below and saw the assassin I tied last night now awake. Several bodyguards stood guard around him, already questioning what happened and who he was.My eyes landed on the vial of poison I took from him. It was the same type I had encountered before. This poison was lethal. One small taste and death would arrive in seconds. It was dangerous and unpredictable, a tool only useful when handled with extreme caution.I slipped it into my wallet and looked toward the apple tree. There were fruits hanging low, just within reach if I stretched a l

    Geraldine’s Point of View I swallowed hard as I stared at Mike standing by the bedroom door, his face still looking sleepy while his eyes stayed fixed on me.“H Hubby… why are you still awake?”Did he somehow know that I put another man to sleep after I made him sleep?He walked toward me slowly, his eyes locked on mine. Without saying anything else, he picked up a blanket from the chair and gently placed it over my shoulders.“The wind is cold. You might get sick.”I froze. Did he really not know what I did earlier? Before I could gather a proper breath, he suddenly lifted me off the floor. I almost screamed from shock as his arms scooped me up.“Let’s go to bed.”“Why are you suddenly carrying me?”He pretended as if he was going to drop me, making me instantly cling to his neck for dear life.“Hey. I was only asking. Come on, let’s sleep now, hubby.”“Tsk.”He continued walking toward the bed. How could this man not have seen anything? His eyes clearly showed that he had just woke

    3rd Person’s Point of ViewThe assassin kept a silent eye on Gerry and waited patiently for her husband to fall asleep. Only then could he carry out his mission to eliminate Mike.He did not bother paying attention to the wife. To him, she was just another ordinary woman who would scream, faint, or run. He thought she would simply fix the curtains or head back to bed.But in a single breath, everything changed.Gerry moved.In an instant, his neck was caught in her grip. Her fingers pressed against his throat like steel, and her eyes locked on his with a calmness so chilling that it made his blood freeze. Shock widened his eyes as he struggled to understand how someone so small could exert such frightening strength.Her voice was calm, but the threat beneath it was unmistakable.“What do you want from my husband, hmm”His hand clutched at her wrist, the other slowly reaching for the knife hidden beneath his sleeve.
