Geraldine’s Point of View

I turned toward Rafayel, who flashed me that innocent smile of his. For a moment, I thought he was the culprit behind all this chaos—but no. Impossible. He couldn’t have done it, and besides, there were no guards around either.

Then my eyes shifted to Mike, who was still staring at me with his usual blank expression. My own eyes narrowed in return, and his brows furrowed deeper.

“What are you doing?” he asked coldly.

“Why don’t you go ahead? I’ll catch up anyway.”

He arched a brow at me, and I couldn’t help pouting like a child. Ugh, this man.

I hurried forward, almost jogging toward him. The moment I reached him, his hand flicked my forehead without warning.

“Ow!” I exclaimed, clutching my forehead.

“Is that how a maid behaves?” he asked, tone sharp and condescending.

“Is that how a master treats his maid?” I shot back instantly.

He raised his hand again as if to flick me once more. I shut my eyes tightly, bracing myself for the sting. Nothing came. Slowly,

    Geraldine’s Point of ViewI was completely caught off guard by what Mike did next.He wrapped his arms around me tightly, as if there were no tomorrow, as if the world might end if he let go. His face was buried against my neck, his embrace firm and desperate, like he was afraid I would disappear if he loosened his grip even just a little.My body stiffened in shock.“Okay, bro, I’ll head out first,” Rafayel said casually. “I’ll drive your car.”I watched him walk toward Mike’s car, my eyes following him until he finally drove away, leaving the two of us alone at the top of the mountain.Why was this man still hugging me like this?“Mike…” I called softly.“I’m so sorry, wife.”I froze.Sorry?He slowly lifted his head and looked at me. Our eyes met, and something in his gaze made my chest tighten. I instinctively looked away, unable to hold his stare.“W Why are you apologizi

    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

  • Phantom Syndicate: Undercover Wife To The Mafia Trillionaire   Chapter 80

    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
