They left the establishment after they finished their lunch. Margarette could only stare at her own food, unable to meet his eyes. Her cheeks were red from his confession earlier. She still couldn't believe she heard such things coming from his mouth. Her heartbeat could not calm down whenever their eyes meet, so she lowered her gaze instead to save the last ounce of sanity within her.She still didn't know why he said that. She also doesn't know if he was serious with it. He would kill anybody for her? Sounds so sick but it made the butterflies in her belly flutter in happiness.She sighed and looked over the window. The day is still so long. The road they were taking was a little bit rough, Margarette glanced at the surroundings and saw that Xavier had taken a different path. Her brows furrowed. Where are they going?He glanced at her and said in a cold voice, "We're going to go to one of the family's warehouses."She nodded her head in acknowledgement. They were still in the city, b

The day was long and eventful. Eventually, the couple decided to go back to their villa where they're supposed to celebrate their honeymoon. Margarette slept all through their way back to the villa, which allows Xavier to think about some things, especially about the unwanted feelings in his chest.He doesn't know when he felt this way. There was no exact time, place, or event when Xavier started to care for her sake. It just happens...And he wants to get rid of it.After arriving at the villa, he carried his wife back to their bedroom and put her down gently on the bed. He then sat on the side of the bed and stared at her face. One reason why he brought her outside to his favourite casino was to expose her to his world and highlight her to his enemies. That was the plan. He didn't mean to cause a scene or such, but the way he got angry when someone disrespects her in that place, he just wanted to burn down the whole establishment into ashes.It still confuses him.One time when he me

He took her to his office and gently put her down on the couch. His secretary came in and gave Margarette a glass of water to calm down a little.Xavier clenched his jaws as he dialled something from his phone contacts. A few seconds later, the receiver answered."I need you to come over to my office now," he said to the family doctor in a rather rushed voice. He didn't wait for the doctor to say something else and immediately ended the call. He then went towards Margarette and knelt down to level their faces."Hubby...""Are you still dizzy?" he asked, worried about his voice. The crease on his forehead was enough evidence that he was concerned about her.She shook her head and flashed a reassuring smile. "No, not anymore.""Are you sure?" he inquired, not convinced.Again, she nodded. "Yes, I'm fine. It's just a matter of seconds of dizziness. I'm fine now."He stared at her longer than he should. The crease on his forehead was still there and the worry in his eyes was still palpable

She shouldn't have listened to Zeus' words and gotten affected by it. She should've known better than to piss off Xavier. She knew it would only cause trouble once she's caught, but she's also determined to find out herself the things she didn't know about Xavier. It's already too late to regret.Zeus' voice rang through her head like a broken radio kept repeating itself. "Why don't you go towards the 4th and 5th floor to find out for yourself?" She closed her eyes as she took a deep breath. She reminded herself that it was wrong to disobey him and would only cause her in danger, but if she found it undiscovered, then it's probably okay, right?Right.As long as he doesn't find out, then she's safe.Pressing the 4th floor of the mansion through the elevator, Margarette braced herself to what she would see in the forbidden floor. She expected that it wouldn't be far different from the basement, however, it was quite contrary to what she actually saw.Countless pairs of eyes lingered on

They ended up having midnight dinner together. Margarette decided to be extra clingy and wants him to feed her. Hopeless, Xavier fed his wife to her stomach's content even though it cringed at him to even imagine what he was actually doing. He still reeks of alcohol and wasn't able to change clothes yet. He wanted to but can't leave his wife in her weak state. She clearly needs his attention."I want ice cream..." she whined."Stop acting like a kid and eat what is presented," he scolded. "Open your fucking damn mouth and eat this before it gets fucking cold, zhena." (Wife)She opened her mouth with a sulking face and accepted the food. Clarise woke up immediately the moment Xavier called her over to ready his wife's food. He doesn't fully trust the people in the kitchen to deliver safety meals for Margarette, that's why he had asked a trusted maid to double check the food first before they delivered it."I want more soup," Margarette uttered. He held the bowl and helped her up.Why t
