"What do you mean, Arielle? Is your boyfriend trying to kill you? Is he the one who poisoned you and made you end up in the hospital?" Gun asked, furrowing his brows.The truth was she didn't mean for Gun to hear the name she mentioned. She thought she only answered his question in her mind, but apparently not."Just forget what I said, Gun," she quickly said to him. Though she trusted him, she wasn't ready to tell him about Tyron and Claire."Forget it? After you've left me hanging in curiosity, you're going to tell me to forget what you said—"He raised his voice slightly, so she hurriedly covered his mouth with her hand to prevent him from speaking. She was worried that her two maids might hear his loud voice. She was sure that her maids would wonder if they were quarreling once they heard his loud voice."Lower your voice," she whispered, her one hand remained covering his mouth. She glanced worriedly towards the kitchen, checking for any indication of someone nearby.She breathed
Arielle noticed that Gun hadn't been talking to her much since last night. Maybe he's still mad at her because he thinks she sided with Tyron instead of him. They haven't been talking much so she hasn't been able to mention to him about the wedding. He will surely be surprised when Tyron's mother and sister arrive to discuss the wedding. "Why aren't you talking much to Gun, Ma'am Arielle? Are you two having an LQ?" Emma asked in a probing tone as she helped her prepare their lunch. Laura was off that day so she was helping Emma prepare their lunch."He just misunderstood me last night, Emma. But let's just leave him be. His tantrums will eventually disappear," she answered with a smile to her maid. She didn't pay attention to the "LQ" that she mentioned, which means lover's quarrel. She didn't have a relationship with Gun, so no LQ happened."I'll just call Gun outside so we can eat together, Ma'am Arielle," Emma said after they finished preparing the food.Gun was outside installing
"Are you not going to follow Gun, Ma'am Arielle? What if he never comes back? No one will save you if someone tries to harm you again," Emma asked her worriedly while they were sitting in the living room.She turned to her maid and shook her head. "No, Emma. Maybe he's not the right person to be my driver-bodyguard."Gun doesn't seem like a bodyguard. His actions and way of speaking don't fit the role of a bodyguard. Well, he's not really a bodyguard but just a driver. But even being a driver doesn't suit him either.Maybe Gun attended college but was not able to finish his studies. And maybe he was just forced to become the driver of that woman because she was his girlfriend and maybe the salary was too high."Maybe you should ask Sir Tyron's help in finding a bodyguard, Ma'am Arielle?" Emma suggested, which she immediately responded to with a strong refusal. If her bodyguard is from Tyron, she is sure that she won't last a week and she will become a cold corpse.Emma didn't say anyt
"Arielle! Wait!" She was about to get into her car when she heard the voice of her cousin Claire, who was running after her. She turned to look at her cousin and waited for her to approach her. "What's wrong with you, Arielle? That's not how you usually behave," Claire immediately asked when she was in front of her, with a hint of annoyance in her tone.She raised an eyebrow at Claire's way of questioning as if implying that she was the one at fault for what happened."What's wrong with me?" She slightly smirked before speaking again. "There's nothing wrong with me, Claire. For the first time in my life, I made the right choice.""What? You love Tyron so much and as far as I know, you have been dreaming of marrying him for a long time. And now that he has proposed marriage for the second time, you rejected him again. What is happening to you?"Claire looks very upset as if she was the one who proposed marriage to her and got rejected. But of course, her cousin will really be angry wit
Arielle tries hard to remove the pillow covering her face, but no matter what she does, she can't seem to take it off. The person covering her face was much stronger compared to her strength. Almost unable to breathe, she panics excessively but still doesn't lose hope. God has given her a second chance at life, so she won't waste it.She stretches out her hands and searches for something nearby that she can use against the person trying to kill her. She remembers that the small table where her lampshade is placed is close to her pillow, and its holder is made of metal. She reaches for it with all her might, and finally, when she gets hold of the lampshade, she forcefully swings the metal holder at the person covering her face.Since she couldn't see his head, she just hit him anywhere on his body. The important thing is that she hits him so he would let go of the pillow. It seems like she hurt that person because the pressure of the pillow on her face suddenly loosened.She took advan
Gun clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth while staring at the face of the unconscious woman lying in the hospital bed. Her face clearly showed the extreme hardship she had gone through just to escape from the person responsible for what happened to her.He was on his way to her house when he saw her walking unsteadily on the street. He intended to talk to her about the marriage proposal he saw from her boyfriend while he was inside the restaurant where Tyron proposed to her. He wanted to make sure if she really intended to marry that man before deciding to cut off his communication with her.In the beginning, he did not immediately recognize Arielle. Her body and face were covered in mud. But when they were just a few meters apart, that's when he recognized her. He quickly got out of his car, approached her, and then rushed her to the nearest hospital.The doctor who treated Arielle said that she had broken ribs and her left foot was dislocated, which was still swollen. Bu
Because Gun was her bodyguard again, he returned to live in her house while working for her. Not only was she pleased with his return, but even her two maids who seemed to have developed a crush on her handsome bodyguard also felt glad.Three days after her discharge, Claire visited her. She was surprised to see her lying in bed and still unable to walk properly."What the hell happened to you, Arielle? Why do you look like that?"Arielle couldn't tell if the surprise on Claire's face was genuine or if she was just acting."A devil broke into my house and tried to kill me," she replied to Claire while staring intently at her face. She was observing what her cousin's reaction would be. But she was disappointed when she didn't see any expression of guilt on her cousin's face. What she saw was a concern, which she knew was just for show. Her cousin was really good at hiding her true feelings."What? Oh my goodness, Arielle! I'm glad you're safe." Claire approached her side and sat on the
Tyron stood at the doorway of Arielle's house, holding a bottle of beer and reeking of alcohol all over his body When Gun was about to confront Tyron, whom they suspected of breaking into her house and attempting to kill her, she quickly held Gun back by the arm. She gently shook her head at him and pulled him back down beside her. She could feel Gun's suppressed anger within him. Who wouldn't be angry when the person you suspect of trying to kill you is right in front of you, but you can't confront or imprison him because you have no evidence against him?"Tyron? What are you doing here in such a state?" Claire quickly approached Tyron and tried to help him enter her house, as he was a bit wobbly and almost fell if Claire had not caught him in time.Arielle secretly sneered at him. So he was able to drive a car to her house and then he was going to fall right in front of her? What a big joke and drama. She knew he was just pretending to be drunk to make her feel guilty because she h
