Claire stepped out onto the terrace of Tyron's condo wearing only a thin bathrobe. She saw him sitting quietly, drinking alcohol and staring off into the distance. She approached him and hugged him from the back."What are you thinking, Babe? Why do you look so deep in thought?" She nuzzled his neck and gently pressed her nose against it, intending to rekindle his desire. She frowned when instead of his desire being awakened, he seemed irritated with her. "What's your problem, Tyron? I've noticed you've been like this for a few days. Whenever I try to be affectionate, you pull away. Don't you like me anymore?"Tyron turned to face her and took a deep breath. "It's not like that, Claire. I've just been thinking about the person who ordered to kill Arielle aside from us. It seems that person's anger towards Arielle is greater than us, and he has many people working for him.""Perhaps that person has a deep grudge against my cousin, which is why he has such a strong desire to kill Ariell
"Arielle couldn't believe that the woman whose hands were tied behind the chair and was in front of her was the old woman she had helped when her fruits had fallen. She was not an old woman anymore, but rather a young one. In her opinion, their ages were not far apart. Maybe this one was just a few years older than her, or maybe even younger, but the hardship had aged her appearance.It turned out that the woman had only used prosthetic makeup to make herself look like an old woman so that she would lower her guard against her and she would not doubt that she was an accomplice of the person who was trying to kill her.The woman gave a slight smile when she saw Arielle enter the room. "You're really so lucky, Arielle. Even though they've tried to kill you several times, you're still alive. Is that how it is when you have a lot of money?""It's because I am a good person. Because I do not hurt or trample on anyone, that is why God takes pity on me. Money has nothing to do with my luck.
Tyron and Claire were leaving his condo when they were suddenly confronted by the police led by Major Rex David, a friend of Gun."What does this mean? Why are you arresting me? What crime have I committed against the law?" Tyron asked the police in a panic as they were putting handcuffs on him."We are arresting you on the charge of attempted murder of Miss Arielle Simpson. You are free to get your lawyer, Mr. Delavin. And remember that everything you say can be used against you, so you can explain yourself at the police station," Rex said sternly before ordering the other officers to bring Tyron to the police station."Wait! Wait! You can't take my boyfriend! I won't allow it!" Claire said in a loud voice, blocking Tyron's path and firmly grabbing his arm."If you don't let us leave, I'll be forced to file you for obstruction of justice," Rex said sternly to Claire. "If you want, you can come to the police station with us.Suddenly, Claire was scared by what Rex said, so she did noth
Arielle woke up late in the morning because she was thinking about the man who called her last night. Although she only spoke to him for a few seconds, she felt his voice was familiar to her. It was as if she had heard his voice before, but she couldn't remember who among the people she knew was the owner of that voice.Since it was almost morning when she fell asleep, she woke up late. She didn't feel like going to work, so she called her secretary to cancel all of her appointments for two days. However, she told her secretary to call her immediately if there was an important client.Before she left her room, she took a shower to look fresh. When she went downstairs to the living room, she found Gun sitting on the sofa reading a magazine."Good morning," she greeted in a soft voice as she approached Gun and sat across from where he was seated."It seems like you had a good sleep, that's why you woke up late," Gun said to her with a smile."No. I slept almost until morning, that's why
It was a busy day. Arielle had a lot of work to do at the company, so she was almost exhausted while sitting on the chair and traveling back to her house. She had landed a big client, but it was snatched away by her rival company, the Adamson Real Estate and Developer, one of the biggest real estate developers in the country. It was the company where Jacob was the vice president, but now he is the acting CEO of the company because the CEO, who is his cousin, is reportedly still undergoing treatment.She had already won the bidding, but the client suddenly withdrew, and later she found out that it had been taken by her biggest rival in the business. The effort she and her team had put in to win the bidding, which she called the "million project", was all in vain."Are you okay, Arielle? You seemed tired and disappointed," Gun asked her when he noticed that she was not in a good mood."I'm down today, Gun. I feel frustrated," she replied to Gun. "My company won the bidding for that proj
Gun's fists were clenched tightly as he sat outside the emergency room. He wanted to punch the wall like he had done before, but he didn't want Arielle to worry if she saw his hands injured. The last time he did that, the young woman got angry and worried about him. She made him promise her that he wouldn't hurt himself again if her life was put in danger.The veins on his hands are almost bursting from the tightness of his fists, and his teeth are grinding. He blames himself for why Arielle's life is in danger again. If only he had been more attentive, if only he hadn't left her, this might not have happened. If anything bad happens to Arielle, he will never forgive himself.When he saw a doctor come out of the emergency room, he immediately stood up and approached him."Are you a relative of the patient?" the doctor asked him."No, Doctor. But I am her boyfriend and her guardian," he quickly answered the doctor without hesitation.The doctor nodded before speaking again. "The patien
Arielle was visited by Bret that day. Her friend had just arrived from Canada and immediately visited her to check on her condition. He knew that she no longer had a helper at home, so he just took out food for their lunch. She forgot to tell her friend that Gun was the one cooking her food at her house."I'm sorry I couldn't visit you sooner, Arielle. I almost couldn't come back to the country because my grandpa didn't want to let me go. And you know, he wants us to get married the next time he vacations here," Bret reported to her as they both sat on the sofa."Are you getting married? Are the two of you planning already to get married?" Suddenly, a sharp pain pierced Gun's chest when he heard what Bret said, so he couldn't help but interrupt their conversation. He was just standing near them because he didn't want to leave Arielle with Bret was the only one with her. He no longer trusts even though he was Arielle's friend."Uhm, Bret introduced me to his grandfather as his girlfrie
Arielle feels a mix of anxiety and frustration as she faces all the board members who are shareholders of her company. She is nervous because the people who are against her management of the company may have found another loophole. At the same time, she is annoyed because no matter what she does, she cannot fully gain their trust as if she is not a trustworthy woman.If her parents were not kind, they would not have allowed other people to buy stocks in the company because they do not need shareholders. The company earns a lot of money due to the good management of her father without shareholders. If there were no shareholders, she would not have this problem now.Even if she is forcibly buying their small shares in the company, her money is still not enough. However, if she sells the land, house, and other properties left to her by her parents, that would be more than enough to pay for the shares of the board members. But she doesn't want to sell the inheritance left to her by her pa
