“Understand that Kendrick wants the best for you; he wants to protect you,” Eugene says to Elodie. They're seated in the mansion's garden, having morning tea. Whereas, Elodie wanted to go to work today.

••Two hours earlier••

Elodie sits in front of the mirror in the vanity, brushing her hair. She sweeps her hair to one side, unintentionally revealing her bare neck.

Her heart skips, her eyes lingering on the spot where Evan had the gun pointed to. She can still remember vividly how shaken she was, vulnerable in his clutch.

She still can't believe it, Evan even clicked his gun, ready to kill her as an act of revenge against Kendrick. At that moment, all Elodie felt was fear, fear of leaving Kendrick behind.

Thankfully, Caleb jumped just in time. Still, it scares her.

Elodie wonders, how many times did Kendrick save Charlotte back when they were together? Did Charlotte feel the same surge of emotions being near death?

Elodie purses her lips, staring deeply into her reflection. Just

  • Profitable Marriage With A Mentally Unstable CEO   Chapter 61: For the fun of it, of course

    The next morning, “Get in, I'll take you there myself,” Kendrick says, standing beside his car outside. Elodie snorts at him before getting in. Since last night, Elodie planned to see Luke at least once. She even got out of bed at midnight with hopes of seeing him, but he wasn't in the bar and he wasn't outside either. As the engine starts, Elodie glances at Kendrick. What exactly does he plan to do to Luke? How can she stop him? “What's wrong with you? I've said to stop overthinking things” Kendrick says, his eyes focused on the road. Elodie frowns, taking her attention out the car's window “I can't help it” An awkward silence settles between them, the atmosphere heavy with slight tension. To ease the tension, Kendrick dips his hand into his pocket, pulls out a small box, and places it on the car's dashboard. “There, take it,” he says, capturing Elodie's attention. She averts her eyes from the window to the object. Her eyes linger on it for a moment before shifting to Kendrick

    The thought of it all burdens Elodie's heart, but the only thing she can do is wait. She lets out a deflating sigh, rising from the bed and walking up to the large windows. Ever since stepping into Kendrick's life, hers has been in constant change, and now potential threats are waiting for her because of him. Elodie squints, the curtains fluttering with each gust of wind, sending chills down her spine. She wraps her arms around herself, taking in the scenery of the outside world beyond the window. The view is mesmerizing. Elodie exhales deeply, grateful that Kendrick insisted on a day off. She collapses on the chair in the sitting area, slowly closing her eyes. The room turns silent and serene, the only sounds remaining are Elodie's subtle breathing and the humming of the cool breeze.In the Hollands Enterprise, Kendrick is sitting alone in his office, his eyes glued to the computer's screen, his fingers tapping away on the keyboard with precision and focus. His secretary, John,

    Camila's grip on the whip tightens. She points behind Elodie at the maid.“That wench purposefully spilled tea on my dress and you want to support her!?” Camila's jaw clenches “Just you wait, I'll teach her a lesson” The maid behind whimpers, a tidal wave of guilt and regret washing over her. Before now, she wouldn't hesitate to slander Elodie when gossiping with the other maids behind her back, yet here she is, cowering behind her for help. “You've done enough already, Camila,” Elodie says. But Camila snaps at her “Who do you think you are to say that to me?”Elodie sneers. “Mind you, Camila, you don't stand a chance against me any day. Trust me, you don't want to go on that road,” she threatens. Camila's chest heaves with frustration, her insides boiling with anger. She hurls the whip angrily, giving Elodie a dirty look before stomping away. Her pride has been hurt, how dare Elodie even stand up to her? These days, she's been getting bolder; she even had the audacity to slap her

  • Profitable Marriage With A Mentally Unstable CEO   Chapter 57: You're okay now

    Evan looks around him, his inside gnawing. He's trapped. His trucks have been rounded up; his men are awaiting his command, and and the gate has been breached. This can't be happening! His money, his business, what happens now? Evan shifts his gaze to Kendrick, his face contorting into a twisted scowl, his eyes burning with a hateful glare. This is all his fault! Evan screams inwardly. He won't let Kendrick get away with it. With only one resort left, Evan swiftly shoves Caleb away, pulling out a shotgun from his belt and grabbing Elodie. Shocked, Elodie lets out a sharp gasp, her breath catching in her throat. “Evan!” Kendrick roars angrily, attempting to close in, but Evan stops him, pushing the tip of the gun deeper into Elodie's neck. “Don't take another step” he grits, his voice dripping with desperation. Kendrick halts, his jaw tightening, his eyes narrowed menacingly. “You won't harm her” Kendrick declares in an authoritative growl, his eyes fixed on Evan. “Oh yeah!?” Eva

    The sound of crunching bones fills the space as the man stumbles back, his cap falling off his hand. “Ow! What the fuck was that for!?” He exclaims, clutching his nose. Dizzy from the hit, Elodie shakes her head rapidly, the cloth tied around her mouth falling off. She takes two steps back, steading her gaze on the door, preparing to lunge forward, but the man blocks her path, planting himself in her way with both his hands outstretched. He says in a loud voice, “Wait!” Elodie freezes, his face coming into view. Elodie's brows draw together as she scrutinizes him. Recognition dawns on her face, and she lets out a sharp gasp “You!” This man is the same man she saw last week. The investigator who had entered Kendrick's office. “You're working with them!?” Elodie accuses, her eyes burning with anger. The man shakes his head, his voice hasty as he explains “I'm not. You won't let me explain.” His voice drops low “I'm here as an undercover agent. It's only a pretense, I'm not really…. A
